After finishing speaking, Ma looked at Luo Ran in disbelief and confirmed again: "Are you serious about not counter-offering?"
Luo Ran nodded.
Before Ma was happy, Luo Ran looked around and said, "But, I want to see Fourth Brother."
Ma looked at her suspiciously.
Luo Ran took out another silver note and placed it on the Eight Immortals table between the two of them.
Ma glanced down and took a breath: One thousand taels!
"Brother and sister, what are you..."
Luo Ran smiled slightly: "I want to make a deal with Fourth Brother."
After listening to this, Ma looked at the bank note and suddenly felt a little hot. He hesitated and said, "Unfortunately, your fourth brother is not here today."
Luo Ran stuffed the banknote into his purse and said, "There's no rush. We can wait until Fourth Brother has time."
Ma turned around and went in to get the night pearl.
Luo Ran didn't hesitate, picked up Ye Mingzhu and prepared to leave: "I still have something to do over there, so I won't disturb Fourth Sister-in-law. I'll talk to Fourth Sister-in-law after I've been busy for a while."
Ma's eyes were still staring at the purse where Luo Ran put the banknotes, and he didn't hear clearly for a moment: "Ah? What did you say, brother and sister?"
Luo Ran pretended not to see her eyes, and said again with a smile: "I said I may be a little busy recently. When I am free, I will invite my fourth sister-in-law to come over for tea."
Ma nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay."
After Luo Ran left, Mr. Ma put away the banknotes and sat uneasily in the room. He didn't know how many times he asked the maid next to him: "The fourth master hasn't come back yet?"
Finally, familiar footsteps sounded in the yard, and Ma was the first to go out to greet them.
Fu Shikun smiled: "Did you take action?"
Ma whispered: "Three thousand taels! She didn't even pay back the counter-offer!"
Fu Shikun smiled knowingly, with an expression that was indeed true.
Ma was curious: "How do you know she will definitely buy it?"
Fu Shikun said: "Didn't you say it last time? At that time, she didn't insist on refusing. She just said that she would go back and think about it. In fact, she just wanted to dry you out for a while. This is a common method in shopping malls. Besides, the couple in Xiyuan Their strength, not to mention three thousand taels, even thirty thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket in their eyes, so you are stupid, you really think that they are as poor as us."
This time, Ma did not refute him, but also echoed: "Isn't it? She just made a move without saying anything and it was a thousand taels, and she just stuffed it into her purse like waste paper. If I had known she was so rich, I would I should have ordered more from her in the first place!”
Ma felt a little regretful.
But Fu Shikun asked: "What one thousand taels?"
Ma slapped his head: "Look at my memory."
After entering the room, he learned Luo Ran's original words again, and then said: "I will remember your words this time. I didn't agree to her so quickly. Please stretch her a little!"
Fu Shikun closed his eyes in worry and frowned: "You."
Ma wondered: "What? I did it wrong again this time."
Fu Shikun waved his hand and stood up: "Forget it, it's okay, I'll go over there."
Ma grabbed him and said, "Aren't you afraid of her pinching you if you get on the pole like this?"
Fu Shikun pushed her hand away and said: "You are really a pig-headed person! Who is the Lord of Shanning County? Who is Fu Jin'an? You don't know clearly? Not to mention Fu Jin'an, he is the name of the Champion Houfu, and now in the capital Who here doesn’t want to find a chance to make some connections? It’s better for you to chase people away when they come! Okay, I won’t talk nonsense to you anymore!”
Ma was left standing there and asked the little maid next to her: "Am I really wrong again?"

Luo Ran had just returned to the house and saw Fu Jinan lying on the couch, with two siblings sitting inside like lucky dolls. When he saw his mother coming back, he immediately threw away the toys in his hands and rushed to call his mother.
Luo Ran did not hold the two children first, but went to the side to clean his hands first.
Fu Jinan stretched out a long leg to block the two children, looked at the slim figure next to him and asked, "Did you buy it back?"
Luo Ran nodded.
Youqing hurriedly presented the box.
Fu Jinan opened it, looked at it, and threw it to the two children.
Jing Xing looked at it, a little uninterested, and continued to watch his mother wash her hands.
But Xiao Qingning liked it very much. She held her in her arms and wouldn't let go, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch her away. Fu Jinan was so amused that she couldn't help but pinch her little face and said, "You have no future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chunyu came in: "Sir, madam, the Fourth Master is here."
Fu Jinan raised his head and glanced at her, Chunyu quickly bowed and exited.
"What is he here for?"
The tone is a little bad.
Luo Ran asked Youqing to help him dry his hands and put on the ointment, and replied: "I want to do some business in partnership with him."
"Open a pawn shop?"
Fu Jinan asked.
Luo Ran glanced at the book placed on the kang table. There were obvious signs that it had been turned over.
But she didn't care, she didn't want to hide this from him in the first place. But I also know that if I want to fool the two little maids Qingchunyu and Qingchunyu with the theory of opening a pawnshop, this person can't.
So he said: "I will tell you later."
Fu Shikun specifically inquired before coming. Knowing that Fu Jin'an was in the house today, he deliberately did not go through the small door and came in through the main entrance.
Fu Shikun is twenty-three years old this year, one year older than Fu Jin'an, but he doesn't dare to put on the airs of his fourth brother at all. After entering, he saluted the two of them.
"Fourth brother, you're welcome. Please sit down."
Luo Ran saw the man next to him sitting with a solemn face and said nothing, so he spoke first.
"Thank you County Lord."
Fu Shikun thanked him and heard a child's voice coming from the inner room. He took out two brocade boxes from his sleeves and handed them over and said: "I was busy the past few days, so I didn't prepare any gifts for my niece and nephew's first birthday party. I just got it a few days ago. It’s a gadget, I think it’s suitable for children, so please don’t dislike it, Lord County Lord.”
Everything he does is very measured.
Youqing took the box and Luo Ran glanced at it. They were two long-life locks made of pure gold. They looked heavy and exquisite in workmanship. It was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into them.
The child didn't take it out when he was one year old, but he did take it out at this time. He is indeed very thoughtful.
Fu Shikun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Ran ordered people to collect the things. It seems that I really came to the right place this time.
He had indeed prepared these two longevity locks early in the morning, and initially planned to give them to him at the first-year banquet. But when he saw the piles of gifts, even the Queen Mother and the Emperor ordered people to send them as rewards. I definitely won't take anything seriously.
Free gift.
It's different now. Since the county lord extended an olive branch first, he then took out the gift. Firstly, he would not waste a good thing, and secondly, he also showed his sincerity.
Luo Ran thanked him without beating around the bush and said directly: "I think my fourth sister-in-law just told you that I want to make a deal with my fourth brother."
Fu Shikun glanced at Fu Jin'an, who was sitting there playing with the tea cup and saying nothing. Although he didn't dare to pretend to decline, he didn't agree to it. Instead, he asked: "May I ask the county master, what kind of business do you want to do?"
"Open a pawn shop."
Luo Ran said straightforwardly.
Not to mention Fu Shikun, even Fu Jinan couldn't help but look up at her.
