99: Chapter 99 Articulate and Persuasive
Wufu’s smile imdiately drew the attention of the two bickering individuals.
Shopkeeper Lin saw Wufu leisurely leaning against the counter and his eyes lit up as he rushed over, “Miss Wufu, save !”
Liu Fu also looked over, saw that it was just a young girl, and quickly shifted his gaze away.
He was very annoyed, thinking that he would have to prepare another congratulatory gift.
Wufu bent her knees in a courtesy, “Shopkeeper Lin, it seems you’ve encountered a difficult problem.”
“It is indeed a big problem.” Shopkeeper Lin didn’t know why, but seeing Wufu made him feel as if he had grabbed onto a lifeline, like a drowning man seizing a driftwood.
“rchant Liu, co, let
introduce you.” Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile as he pulled rchant Liu forward.
rchant Liu withdrew his sleeve with a flick, sowhat annoyed.
What was there to introduce about a little girl?
Shopkeeper Lin really seed to be getting more backward with age.
“rchant Liu, this is Miss Wufu.” Shopkeeper Lin didn’t care whether he was willing or not and directly dragged him by the hand to Wufu, saying, “Miss Wufu, this is rchant Liu from Gaofeng County, the owner of the well-known Rongsheng Pharmacy.
rchant Liu is famously benevolent, and whenever there’s a disaster, Liu’s family never fails to donate silver and provide porridge.”
After all, he was a shopkeeper, and his mouth was as if greased with oil, so eloquent, and the words he spoke were as sweet as honey, praising people to the skies.
No one dislikes being lavishly praised, and Shopkeeper Lin’s words made rchant Liu very happy.
He puffed up his chest and belly, stroked his beard, and looked at Wufu with a smug face.
However, the na Wufu seed familiar to him.
Where had he heard it before?
Before rchant Liu could rember where he had heard the na, Shopkeeper Lin cleared up his confusion, “Miss Wufu, though young, has first-class judgnt.
Last ti at the gambling stone event, it was she who spotted the fine jadeite within the stone.”
Ah, that’s right, he had heard about Mr.
Lin of the Hundred Treasures Silver Building betting with a young lady on stone gambling and losing to her.
Then there was news that he had made mistakes because of an eye disease.
Was this the sa person?
rchant Liu scrutinized Wufu up and down.
“Not only is she good at recognizing stones, Miss Wufu is also a skilled carver.
Look,” Shopkeeper Lin signaled Jin Xi with a glance, and Jin Xi promptly offered up two jade ornants.
“These are the handiwork of Miss Wufu.
What do you think of this craftsmanship?” Shopkeeper Lin said, holding up a small Jade Pendant.
rchant Liu took it and looked closely.
The small jade pendant seed rather modest in size, but the craftsmanship was surprisingly refined upon close inspection.
“Although the jade pendant is not much bigger than a Copper Coin, the carving is indeed exquisite.
And such a small pendant is even more suitable for children to wear, don’t you think?” Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile, “Look at , I almost forgot, rchant Liu’s mistress from the eighth house has just borne you a son.
I haven’t congratulated you yet.
If you don’t mind, this small pendant could be a toy for the young master.”
rchant Liu coughed, “It is passable, fairly good.” He took another glance at Wufu.
“Of course, ordinary items wouldn’t catch your eye,” Shopkeeper Lin laughed and instructed Jin Xi, “Put it in a top-quality box and wrap it up for rchant Liu.”
“Yes!”
Seeing this, rchant Liu’s expression beca more relaxed, but thinking of his Chicken Blood Stone, his heart ached again.
Shopkeeper Lin didn’t give him ti to complain and said, “Shopkeeper Lin, now that you have seen Miss Wufu’s handiwork, perhaps you could also show her your Chicken Blood Stone?”
Wufu’s eyebrows raised, looking at Shopkeeper Lin, indeed, he had a knack for persuasion.
