Chapter 72 Gold Hairpin
In Cheng Xueyao's yard, even the little girl who sweeps the floor knows that she cannot be the real second daughter of the Cheng family.

Cheng Xueyao slowly put down her pen and asked, "How is Danxia?"

As the big maid beside Miss, Chunyue and Danxia have a very good relationship, their eyes are red at this time, and they are still a little choked up when they speak: "Miss, go and have a look, Danxia's face is already hard to see ”

Cheng Xueyao stood up and walked out. When she saw Danxia's red and swollen cheeks with bloodstains, she was instantly angry even though she was taking things as they came.

"He's simply gone too far," Cheng Xueyao flicked her sleeves and said, "Take Danxia to find your father and mother."

So Cheng Pu, who was in a pretty good mood that day, just walked out of the small courtyard of his concubine's room and was about to go to the Yamen when he was stopped by Mrs. Cheng's maid.

He followed and took a look, and after hearing Yao'er's cry, he suddenly became angry.

On the one hand, she was angry that her biological daughter had not grown up, so what would she care about with a servant? Beating him up like this would only ruin her own reputation if it spread outside.

On the other hand, isn't this tantamount to slapping Yao'er in the face?Although Cheng Pu didn't care much for Cheng Xueyao in the first place, but now that she is staying in the house, he naturally wants a goddaughter who loves the Cheng family.

Rather than a daughter who harbors resentment towards the Cheng family and is worried about getting married in the future.

Cheng Pu thought for a while, then slammed the table and said angrily: "Call that girl."

The maid next to Mrs. Cheng just went to call the second young lady herself. After hearing this, she immediately stood up and reported back: "Master, the second young lady has gone out?"

Cheng Pu became even more angry and asked, "What is she doing out so early in the morning?"

Cheng Xueyao lowered her head, touching her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time, as if she was crying with grievance and sadness. In fact, there was only a layer of tears in her eyes, which were full of smiles.

Cheng Pu asked, but no one answered for a while. Danxia bit her lip and said, "This slave may know."

"Say." Cheng Pu was very impatient.

Danxia said: "Yesterday, when I went out, I happened to see the second young lady and Mr. Xu walking together."

Mr. Xu?

Cheng Pu couldn't figure out who this was for a moment, but Mrs. Cheng reminded in a low voice: "The one who had a baby kiss with Nuo'er."

"It turns out it's from the Xu family," Cheng Pu remembered it, frowned, and said to Mrs. Cheng, "The baby kiss was just a joke or two between you and Mrs. Xu's family at that time."

The Xu family is in such a state of decline now. They still want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Cheng family. It's a dream.

Thinking of this, Cheng Pu stood up, "You send someone out to get that girl back," he said, looking at Cheng Xueyao, "As for her teaching the maid beside Yao'er, I will deal with it when I come back."

Mrs. Cheng also stood up and agreed to send him out the door.

In the outer city, Xinnuo and Xu Ruqing, who turned his head three times a step, walked into another gold and silver building.

"What's wrong, you have an appointment with someone else?" Xin Nuo crossed the threshold and saw Xu Ruqing who had not yet come in, so she asked pretending to be curious.

Xu Ruqing shook his head: "No."

He stepped in, his navy blue cotton gown crossing the vermilion threshold, and his shoe soles stepping on the flat marble floor. All the splendor made him even more miserable.

Xu Ruqing felt a thorn in his back as he stood here. The counters in the circle were all shining with golden light.

What we came in today was the Manfu Gold and Silver Building, one of the best large jewelry buildings in the capital. It was more than one or two points more luxurious than the small shop yesterday.

Xu Ruqing could almost imagine that any simple gold hairpin on the counter would cost dozens of taels of silver.

At this time, the beautiful girl who had happily ran to the counter to select her looked so ugly to him.

As expected, the biological daughter of the Cheng family who grew up in the countryside was not even remotely comparable to the fake daughter of the company commander who grew up in the Cheng family.

Her good-looking face had lost any charm due to her rude and vain words and deeds.

At this moment, thinking of Cheng Xueyao's beautiful and gentle face, Xu Ruqing felt for the first time that the little daisies on the roadside were beautiful in a way that the national color peonies could not match.

"Is this beautiful?"

A pleasant voice came, and Xu Ruqing looked over, his face twitching.

The tacky gold hairpin was inserted into the girl's cloud-like black hair, and it actually showed a bit of rich and shocking beauty.

The few ladies nearby who were picking out gold hairpins didn’t like the one with only carved patterns at first. After hearing this, they all turned their attention to the wooden box, which was still on the red velvet cloth. Two.

Just when one of the noble ladies wanted to take it over and try it on, the young man over there said, "It doesn't look good. Your skin is fair, and the silver hairpin looks better."

I hope the silver ones are cheaper.

The noble lady glanced at the girl, and she still felt a little familiar.

Also, although there is no rule in the Dayue Dynasty that non-official ladies are not allowed to wear gold jewelry, the only people who can come here to choose are wealthy families from the inner city.

It's not unusual for her to attend the Cheng family's female recognition banquet because she has contacts with old aristocrats like the Cheng family.

"Is that the biological daughter of the Cheng family?" The lady turned her head and asked the servant behind her.

"My servant, it seems true," the servant girl stepped forward and replied in a low voice, "I have also heard about that young master. It seems that Mrs. Cheng arranged a baby marriage with Mrs. Xu when she was pregnant in the early years. But the Xu family has been together for more than ten years. I moved out of the capital a while ago, and the baby's kiss was nothing. But some time ago, after Mr. Xu came to the Cheng family, I heard someone talk about it again outside. "

Compared with the servants around them, ladies do not know so much gossip. After all, every time they visit someone's house, they are accompanied by their masters. The servants and maids are more comfortable and can find out many things that are not known outside. information.

Because she knew that it was the biological daughter that the Cheng family had found from outside, the woman didn't think there was anything good about the gold hairpin. She turned around and pointed at the other daughter beside her.

"It's true that the Cheng family doesn't even know how to buy some good jewelry for the girl, so as not to look like they haven't seen any good things and be deceived by a random man."

The noble lady whispered to her daughter: "You choose carefully, we can afford to sell them no matter how expensive they are."

She thought she was quiet, but there were not many people in the lobby of the Manfu Gold and Silver Building, so Xin Nuo and Xu Ruqing, who were standing not far away, didn't want to hear it.

For a moment, Xu Ruqing wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Xin Nuo, she was still so comfortable. She held up the simplest gold hairpin in her hand and asked, "How much does this cost?"

Xiaoer took a look, not very enthusiastic but not contemptuous, "120 taels."

"What?" Xu Ruqing couldn't hold it back and shouted.

How could such a simple gold hairpin cost more than 100 taels of silver? He straightened his expression and said, "This gold hairpin is only one tael."

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver, even if his gold and silver shop can exchange for 20 taels of silver, such a hairpin should cost less than 100 taels.
