The child didn’t forget to tell the rich merchant.
“With rubies of this size on the market, the highest price still shouldn’t exceed 500 taels each.
“There are a total of six rubies embedded on this mirror. He can at most charge you 3,000 taels. Moreover, this ruby’s color is dim and doesn’t look like good stuff.”
Gu Nuo’er had played with many jade and gemstones since she was young. She could tell at a glance if they were good or bad.
The stall owner was unhappy.
Was this little girl obstructing his business?!
“Hey, young miss, you don’t look like you know anything. It’s a little inappropriate for you to say these things.”
Gu Nuo’er looked up at the stall owner. “Great Qi has been established for 200 years. Which general from 100 years ago were you referring to? Tell me his name and let me see if this person really exists.”
The vendor paused and opened his mouth again and again, but in the end, he couldn’t come up with a lie.
The child’s voice was crisp and logical.
“Since he’s a victorious general, Great Qi’s history will definitely record his merits and mistakes. There’s no need to be afraid that we won’t be able to find out. Tell me.”
The vendor became anxious and only said, “That was a story that I heard from others. How would I know the name?!”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes.
“Since you’re not sure, how dare you ask for 6,000 taels? You’re really something!”
After saying that, she tiptoed and took the mirror from the rich merchant’s hand, slapping it on the stall.
“Rich merchant uncle, don’t buy this. It’s fake.”
The rich merchant also understood that this stall owner had targeted his buying mentality and was asking for a sky-high price here.
The rich merchant couldn’t help but feel a little angry.
Although he was rich, he wasn’t a fool!
“Brother, when doing business, if you’re not honest, you won’t be able to go far.” The rich merchant criticized the vendor seriously.
The stall owner immediately hated Gu Nuo’er even more.
This young lady looked dignified and noble, but why did she specially undermine others and ruin their rice bowls?
Gu Nuo’er knew that he was indignant.
However, she wasn’t done taking care of him yet!
The child turned around and took out a broken sword from the red cloth Gu Ziliang was holding.
“Vendor uncle, since you’ve said that you’ll never miss any good items, help me take a look at this. How much is this worth?”
Everyone looked down and saw that the broken sword was stained with blood and there was a ruby embedded in the hilt.
As soon as this ruby appeared, it immediately outshone the one on the bronze mirror.
The gemstone on the hilt had become even darker and had greater luster after having challenged powerful armies.
In this sultry early summer, the entire broken sword emitted a faint coldness.
Gu Nuo’er reminded him in a soft and friendly voice.
“This isn’t considered an antique. This sword is about 30 to 40 years old, but its meaning is extraordinary. I want to find a new owner for it who catches my eye.”
The vendor hated Gu Nuo’er for ruining his business just now.
In addition, he had just seen the siblings come with only a sword wrapped in a piece of red cloth.
If it was really something valuable, it would definitely be placed properly in a box.
If it was wrapped in cloth, it must be cheap.
This little girl might want to fool them!
The stall owner crossed his arms and said indifferently, “Young Miss, your sword is too unlucky. It’s even stained with blood. It’s a broken sword too. How inauspicious!
“It’s not considered a good item, but if you really want to sell it, I’m willing to buy it for five taels and help you deal with it!”
Gu Nuo’er looked up. “Five taels?”
She looked around at the commoners. “Is there anyone who knows their stuff?”
