“Really?” She took out eight taels of private money and tossed it up and down in front of him, “Can’t afford it, huh?”

Seeing the money, a greedy light shone in his eyes, “Can afford, can afford! Are you buying right away?”

She rolled her eyes at him, “Snobbish, old lady won’t buy from you!” She went to the grocery stall next to him, “How much is the bronze mirror?”

The other stall owner is a man in his forties, looking like an honest person. Next to the slippery, cunning vendor, honest people always get less business, “One tael of silver.”

Su Qingyue saw there were two types of bronze mirrors on the stall, one large and one small. The small one was the size of a palm, while the large one was twice as big.

She asked the price of the small mirror, “What about the big one?”

“Two taels of silver.” Just now, the stall owner heard her talking about rouge with Wang Zhong at the neighboring stall and knew this girl was not rich, so he didn’t randomly increase the price.

Su Qingyue held the big mirror, feeling it was more comfortable to see a larger reflection. It’s just that two taels of silver is too expensive. She can afford it, but doesn’t want to spend that much now.

Wang Zhong, who had praised Qingyue earlier, then said, “Old Liu, save your saliva. She’s so ugly that she doesn’t even dare to look at herself in the mirror, she won’t buy it…”

As if she didn’t hear him, Su Qingyue said to Old Liu, “Make it cheaper.”

Although Old Liu believed what Wang Zhong said, since the girl counter-offered, he courteously replied, “Girl, the mirror is made of copper and polished smooth, manufacturing and processing is expensive. I can reduce the price by fifty copper coins at most.”

“I’ll take a small mirror for 700 cents.”

“This is not acceptable…” Old Liu hesitated.

“If it’s not acceptable then forget it. Poor people don’t want to buy expensive things either.” Su Qingyue pretended to leave.

Old Liu hurriedly stopped her, “Alright, alright, 700 cents it is. But I’m really selling it at a loss…”

Su Qingyue turned her head and saw the neighboring stall owner’s rolling eyes, knowing that 700 cents was still quite a profit for him.

However, she had asked the price of bronze mirrors several times, and even the small ones were around one tael of silver. When buying things, people should also make a profit, as others need to survive as well.

She paid one tael of broken silver, and Old Liu gave her 100 cents in change. He wrapped the mirror in a small cloth, “Girl, take good care of it. The bronze mirror is valuable.”

She put the bronze mirror and silver back into her sleeve pocket.

Seeing the young stall owner who had just sung her praises slant his mouth, “I had a nice chat with you for so long, I also have mirrors on my stall, but you didn’t even think to buy mine.”

“Who told you to lie shamelessly, and then stop. That’s what’s hateful.” She snorted.

The stall owner named Wang Zhong also snorted, “Girl, you better take care of yourself.” Her flaunting of the eight taels of silver earlier had really attracted thieves. He secretly hoped she would get robbed since she didn’t buy from him.

Stall owner with surname Liu couldn’t help but remind, “Girl, in this day and age, money must not be flaunted, be careful.”

Long-time vendors didn’t want to give obvious warnings, but they knew there was a seasoned thief eyeing her pocket.

Su Qingyue was a clever person; she understood the vendor’s hint and thanked him before leaving.

After a few steps, a man hurriedly brushed past her, “accidentally” bumping into her.

The plotting felt way too familiar, like the thieves in modern television shows. She must have seen it hundreds if not thousands of times by now.
