Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 322 A Huge Money of Eight Taels of Silver (Part [-])
The small and slender box was made of ordinary wood, and the carving was not very delicate, so that when Ning Xiuyuan held it in his hand, he even had a little doubt that it really belonged to this young lady?

It's just too ordinary.

It's not that Ji Wuyan doesn't have ordinary gadgets, but it's a little surprising that she should hold them in her hand and caress them carefully.

He poked his head curiously, "What is this?"

His chin rested on her shoulder, and the warm breath from the nostrils fell on the skin of her neck, forming a fine layer of goose bumps.She shrank her neck, her ears turned red quietly, and passed the box in her hand behind her, pretending to be casual, "Here. For you."

"Send me?" Ning Xiuyuan was a little surprised, let go of her fast-drying hair, took the box with one hand, and opened it very casually, her eyes fixed.

White hosta?In the meantime, a ray of bright red blood is looming.

Rubbing the body of the hairpin with fingertips, there was a faint smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, wishing he could wear it to find Bai Xing,
To be honest, he wasn't very knowledgeable about goods, but he felt that the white jade was warm and moist, so it was considered a good jade.But the gift that the little girl gave him was a simple wooden hairpin, which he also liked very much, so he took the hairpin from the jade crown with love and replaced it with this one, and gave it to her with his head bowed like offering a treasure Look, "Does it look good?"

Good-looking is good-looking... But people are a little silly, like a child showing off a toy he just got, probably Ning Xiuyuan has never done anything similar in his life.

Ji Wuyan pursed her lips and sniggered, nodding while laughing, saying it looked good.

Probably because her snickering expression was too obvious, Ning Xiuyuan was immediately unhappy, and stretched out his hand to pinch her face, deliberately teasing her, "Not good-looking? If it's not good-looking, I don't want it."

"It's beautiful! I spent a lot of money to buy it, can't it be beautiful!"

"When did you buy it?"

"Just, just a few days ago, when I went to the street for breakfast, I saw that the old lady who was out of the morning stall was very pitiful, so I took care of her business and bought... No, I don't need it either, so I thought about giving it away. You!" With her face still in the hand, she raised her brows slightly, her face full of pride of "cheap you kid".

Ning Xiuyuan didn't doubt it, after all, the wooden box did look like that.But he didn't care, he just put his hands away and sat beside her, squinting at her lazily, "How much money did you buy?"

"Eight taels. Originally it was ten taels... Ziqiu reached eight taels, and the deal was done."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Ning Xiuyuan was still surprised by such a cheap and fine jade hairpin. He looked at Ji Wuyan with a calm face, and smiled with a "hehe" at the corner of his mouth, "Shangguan Ning... Do you think I'm a fool? Can you buy this jade eight taels of silver?"

"That's why I bought it!" Ji Wuyan remained unchanged, with an expression of "that's it", "The old lady doesn't know the goods, and said that this jade is mixed with impurities, so it can't be sold at a price... I I thought the red color was pretty, so I bought it.”

"Then you still pay?"

"I didn't pay it back, Ziqiu paid it back. Ziqiu learned from Shen Luoxin. She likes to pay back the price of everything she buys. It doesn't need to be too much. She feels very happy if she can pay it back... In her own words, this is a big deal." Kind of...well, a sense of ceremony. Yes, that's what she said..." After finishing speaking, she nodded, looked at the sky outside, and started to chase people away, "It's getting late, you should go to rest earlier. "

Ha ha.

What kind of master there is, there is what kind of servant girl, really so.Ning Xiuyuan finally understood that Ziqiu's eyes flashed wildly when he spoke, probably learned from this little girl.This face is calm and serious as usual, and one eyeball is extraordinarily active, it is really self-explanatory.

But she didn't want to say it, and Ning Xiuyuan didn't ask too much, no matter how much money the hairpins on the left and right were worth, they were all priceless treasures in his eyes.He tilted his head and looked in the mirror again. The more he looked, the more joyful he felt. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

"Rest early," he said.

Ji Wuyan nodded his head and said hello, watching him leave, very gentle and quiet.It wasn't until the sound of the door opening and closing came from the next door that she slowly got up from the vanity mirror, walked to the window to look at the moonlight in the courtyard, stroked her hair with her fingertips, and smiled with lowered eyebrows.

In that hairpin, half of her hair was hidden.

At that time, Ziqiu said that most of the girls would embroider a sachet to express their feelings, and put a lock of their own hair in the sachet, probably from the blue silk and the meaning of love.

Xiang Nang Ji Wuyan doesn't know how to embroider, and she doesn't intend to make a fool of herself. Since it's a gift, it's not good to give something that she can't give or the other party can't give, right?If it is stored close to the body every day, the messy embroidery threads with mottled stitches may still hurt people...

So, after much deliberation, she finally decided to give a hairpin, with a white jade hairpin body and black hair inside, so that even Ning Xiuyuan himself would not discover the deep meaning in it, and it would save her many embarrassments when giving gifts.

She stroked her temple hair, her brows and eyes dyed with a small smile, as if a young child had a secret base of her own.

At that time, she told Gucuo that the love between a man and a woman is the most fragile. She really felt that way, but at the moment she vaguely realized that it is also a kind of happiness to secretly give some heart.Perhaps this is why, how many idiotic men and women who know that there is no result, will still be like a moth to a flame without hesitation.

Even if it is still lost in the end, these memories will still feel good.

She stood at the window for a long time, until the night was dark and cool, she wrapped the shawl around her body, turned around, blew out the candles, and fell asleep.

……

Jiangnan, Yunzhou.

Ji's house is located by a lake at the foot of a mountain with a beautiful view in Yunzhou.

It occupies half of the mountain, and the whole house is hidden in the forest. There are not many houses, but from a distance, it blends in with the low mountain.

The old lady got up early. When the birds in the mountains were chirping, the old lady had already had breakfast in the yard. There were three or five delicate and small snacks, and the quantity was not much. She ate elegantly. The old lady in her 60s, His hair was already gray, his body was thin and small, and he was wearing a knitted woolen shawl. He gracefully accepted the letter handed over by Mr. Wang, opened the envelope, and asked slowly, "Who sent it?"

"Girl Chaoyun."

"Chaoyun still wrote letters to remember my old lady, how many letters did that heartless little girl get out for so long?" the old lady complained while looking down at the letter.She seems to be gentle by nature, even when she complains, her voice is soft and coquettish, "It's from her brother, I heard that I often receive letters... Heartless... Huh?"

She cried out in surprise.
