Chapter 231: Robbery (4)_1
"You have a keen eye, guest. To get this tiger skin, I had to lie in bed for two months without stepping on the ground." The man was strong and spry, with a gleam in his eyes. When he saw Lin Ziyin was interested in his tiger skin, he immediately began bragging loudly. "If you buy it to make a fur coat, you won’t be afraid of the entire winter."
"How much silver?" Before Lin Ziyin had the chance to ask the price, a Tatar suddenly emerged to inquire about it, completely disregarding Lin Ziyin.
Lin Ziyin slightly furrowed her brows, as Qiaoqiao, Jue Ming and others by her side also became alert. At this time, Si Jinhan had temporarily left because of other matters.
"Five hundred taels of silver." Upon seeing the man’s lavish clothing, the man selling the tiger skin immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Brother, I think I was the first to ask the price." Lin Ziyin was somewhat unhappy at being ignored.
Upon hearing a Han speaking his language so fluently, Alhatu took an extra look at the person across him in surprise.
The young man was thin and small, with nothing particularly special about him except his bright eyes which could inadvertently draw people in. In response to Lin Ziyin’s accusation, he laughed and replied, "The young man was also looking at the goods but did not buy them. The goods still belong to this Han, my asking the price does not seem to be improper."
Lin Ziyin was somewhat at a loss for words upon hearing this; he did have a point. She had expressed her interest, but had not taken out any money to buy it.
Having realized her mistake, she felt somewhat embarrassed but refused to admit defeat, "Since I was looking at the goods, it means that I had the intention to buy them. It doesn’t seem very gentlemanly of you to covet what others love."
