Chapter 73 Recruitment
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.

Xu Ruqing's bargaining behavior earned a look from the waiter at Jinlou, "Sir, we all have clear prices here. We only have about one or two gold hairpins, but its craftsmanship is something you can buy with money outside." Can’t reach it.”

The lady next to her was surprised when she heard this. She often came to this Manfu Gold and Silver Building to buy jewelry, and she knew that even a flower hairpin with a full gold and liang of complicated craftsmanship only cost about 50 taels.

Could it be that the daughter the Cheng family had found had better eyesight than hers?

"Then which master's work is this?" the lady asked.

The waiter said proudly: "This was carved by Mr. Ouyang, the master of epigraphy and stone. Don't look at the simple lines on it, but they are blessing patterns left over from ancient times."

The lady was interested, so she came over and picked up the remaining two sticks in the box and looked at them, "Can men also use this?"

The waiter nodded, "It's a style that can be used by both men and women. If Madam is interested, she can buy it for all the young ladies in the family."

Xu Ruqing was standing by and felt that the lady was careless. No matter how precious the blessing pattern was, she couldn't sell it for more than 100 taels for such a small amount.

It's clear that this is a scam.

Unexpectedly, this noble lady was willing to be deceived. She gave the young woman next to her a hairpin and tried it on her head. Then she turned around and said, "I want both of these."

The waiter smiled and respectfully took back the two hairpins and packed them in a fine red lacquered wooden box.

Xinnuo turned the one in his hand to Xu Ruqing.

Xu Ruqing was in a dilemma. Even though Cheng Xueyao promised to reimburse him for all the money she spent, he was not willing to buy it.

Just at this moment, "Sister" sounded at the door.

"Sister," Cheng Xueyao called and walked in, her eyes filled with both anger and indifference, which could be said to be the most vivid expression of the image of a sensible sister who is willing to suffer.She asked again: "Sister, why are you here?"

Next to her was a romantic man holding a folding fan. Who else could he be besides Yuan Chen, who was always a show-off?

Xinnuo looked at Cheng Xueyao and said meaningfully: "Of course you are going shopping with Mr. Xu? Last time you encouraged me to associate with him, and I thought you were happy to see it happen."

Cheng Xueyao was furious in her heart, but there was only confusion on her face, saying: "Sister, what are you talking about, why don't I understand? Mr. Xu, you guys?"

The noble lady who had not left with her daughter after the checkout was in awe. Look, both the real and fake daughters were raised in the Cheng family. Something was wrong.

She glanced at Cheng Xueyao, who had a cheerful face, and then looked at Cheng Nuo, who spoke sharply, and felt that neither of them was simple.

If we really had to decide who was more powerful, it would be the adopted daughter of the Cheng family.

Listen to what she said, what else can someone named Xu say?
Sure enough, Xu Ruqing immediately said: "Miss Yao, I fell in love with the second lady at first sight, and we are looking for an opportunity to renew our engagement with the Cheng family."

The lady looked at the daughter of the Cheng family and shook her head.

Even though this woman is beautiful and doesn't talk to others, she really doesn't have enough brains.

A foreign man said this, but he just smiled and didn't know how to refute.

Do you really want to marry such a poor scholar?
The noble lady wished that there were many of her friends there so that she could tell them this funny gossip.

Xinnuo had long seen Cheng Xueyao's intention to bring her and Xu Ruqing together, so she was not surprised at all. She just said to Xu Ruqing: "You said you are so affectionate, how can you prove it?"

How to prove it, it seems that there is no better way than buying the golden hairpin she likes.

Xu Ruqing glanced at Cheng Xueyao in embarrassment and took out the last bit of his family fortune.

Cheng Xueyao said that she would give him the money spent by the biological daughter of the Cheng family, but so far she has not sent him a tael of silver.

He didn't know that Cheng Xueyao actually asked the maid to give him money early in the morning, but who knew that she was beaten by Xinnuo.

Cheng Xueyao didn't look at Xu Ruqing for a while, lest he watch her looking for a solution.

Unexpectedly, before this idea came to fruition, I heard that Xu Ruqing was borrowing money openly.

Cheng Xueyao glanced at Yuan Chen beside her in embarrassment, but he didn't seem to hear her and walked towards the counter while waving her fan.

Cheng Xueyao was a little flustered, she stepped up and followed, and whispered to Yuan Chen whose eyes were all on the row of brilliant jewelry: "In order not to embarrass my sister, I have to lend this money."

Yuan Chen nodded, "Okay."

The fan in his hand pointed to a set of gold ornaments placed on the velvet cloth, and said: "My master has already found a matchmaker. The day after tomorrow is a good day, and I will come to propose marriage then. You think you like this set, put it in then Among the betrothal gifts.”

what?
Cheng Xueyao didn't react, why was she suddenly getting engaged?
She said: "Your master is back, and I haven't gone to see him yet. What if your master doesn't like me?"

"No," Yuan Chen said with certainty, his eyes falling on Cheng Xueyao. After getting out of the confusion of the savior, he found more and more that this woman was not the kind of woman he liked.

Cheng Xueyao was a little distracted, but still nodded and smiled shyly at Yuan Chen.

He is very rich, so even if he doesn't want to marry him, he doesn't want to lose his support.So the plan had to start in advance. As long as he felt that they were forced to be separated by someone who was jealous of her and wanted to take away everything she had, he would still protect her.

After all, the gold hairpin that Xin Nuo took was recorded in Cheng Xueyao's name, so Xin Nuo and Xu Ruqing were able to leave Manfu Gold and Silver Tower.

Xu Ruqing was worried that she would go to some jewelry store again. When she came out, she suggested: "The lotus flowers outside the city are blooming very well. Why don't we go see the lotus flowers?"

Xinnuo saw Xiao Shan who was walking by on the street in front of him. He didn't even listen to Xu Ruqing's words and strode forward.

"Xiao Shan," she shouted.

Xiao Shan, who was walking with a broad stride, was tall and strong, and was wearing the clothes of a yamen headhunter. Almost everyone shunned him when he walked on the street.When acquaintances saw him outside, no one dared to call him by his name so directly.

Which one doesn’t always have Xiao shouting?

Xiao Shan turned around, his serious face immediately changed to an amiable smile, "It's the new girl."

The people Xin Nuo met at Thousand Layers Temple were still more accustomed to calling her Xin Nuo, which sounded pleasant to her ears, so she never reminded her that her surname was now Cheng.

"What are you doing?" Xinnuo asked.

It wasn't a confidential job. Xiao Shan immediately replied: "That's right. Didn't our father join the Jingzhao Mansion? We want to recruit two careful people to take care of the chores."

Xinnuo was just thinking about sneaking into Jingzhao Mansion. Hearing this, he quickly pointed at himself: "Me, what do you think of me?"

Although this is an era when women cannot easily go out to do things, it is not impossible.

Xiao Shan was surprised at first, then smiled and said: "We originally thought that we could recruit two women in their 50s and [-]s. If the new girls are willing to come, that would be great. Come on, I will take you to meet them. Lord."

Xinnuo didn't expect it to go so smoothly. There was no interview or review process. She subconsciously felt that this was not good, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't realize there was anything wrong with it.

"Okay," she agreed with a smile. Xiao Shan stepped aside and she strode ahead.

Xu Ruqing from behind: ---
This is the same as yesterday, and he was left behind as soon as something happened?This woman, if it wasn't for Cheng Xueyao's request, he wouldn't want to spend more than a quarter of an hour with her.

 Sorry, I caught a cold and don't feel very well. Because it has just been released not long ago, it is not good to keep updating, so I wrote a chapter.More updates will be added later.
