Chapter 905 - 907: The First Wife Enters the Capital (4)
"Madam, do you see this ginseng that has been growing for over a hundred years, is it still good?"
An old maid pointed to the best ginseng in Canhangli, cautiously asking Du Wanqing.
Following the maid’s finger, Du Wanqing looked over and immediately became interested in this hundred-year-old ginseng. She said, "This old ginseng looks quite ancient, buying it for the Marquis to strengthen his body must be beneficial, let’s settle on this one!"
Upon hearing Du Wanqing’s words, the old maid quickly waved to the shop assistant who was standing by her side and said, "Shop assistant, our madam has taken a liking to this ginseng, ask the Li Family’s storekeeper how much this ginseng costs?"
The shop assistant folded his hands and said, "In response to the old nanny, this old ginseng is our shop’s treasure. It sells for eight hundred taels of silver, and the price is firm!"
"What? One ginseng for eight hundred taels of silver, are you not robbing us?" The nanny exclaimed in agitation, hands on her hips.
"This old nanny, it’s not right for you to say that!"
Situ Changge walked out from the inner room unhurriedly and leisurely said, "Supposedly, a deal is a deal, willing buyer willing seller. Since the nanny thinks our ginseng is expensive, she is free not to buy it. Why denigrate our Canhangli?"
"Wu Nanny, the shopkeeper is right. It’s a willing buyer willing seller, and nobody is forcing us to buy. Why say such unpleasant words? Quickly, apologize to the shopkeeper."
Du Wanqing spoke softly, showing great cultivation.
Although Wu Nanny was reluctant, she had to comply since the madam had spoken. Therefore, she bowed deeply to Situ Changge, saying, "Shopkeeper, my old self was too offensive just now. I hope the shopkeeper is magnanimous and won’t stoop to the level of an old body like mine."
Situ Changge laughed and said, "To recognize one’s mistakes and be able to correct them is truly commendable, no worries!"
