Wang Xiu took Nan Nan out of the side door. She saw a jade jewelry store. There were not many customers, but the store was quite spacious.
She touched her ingot bun and walked in immediately.
She quickly picked out two hostas, and then said to Nan Nan: "Go and find Yun Ran first. I'll wait for you here. If Miss Chen asks, just say that Yun Ran came to me to get money, please."
They'll wait a moment."
Nan Nan understood and quickly went to find Lu Yunran.
Wang Xiu paid the money and used the dressing mirror in the shop to prepare a double-snail bun. When the proprietress saw it, she quickly stepped forward to help and recommended a jade comb to Wang Xiu. It was green and white jade, with a touch of auspicious clouds carved on it and gold traced on it.
It looks very beautiful.
The proprietress combed Wang Xiu's hair, and then gave her a jade comb to use as a hairpin to wear on her bun. The jade comb was made like a comb, no bigger than the palm of your hand, and was small and exquisite.
Wang Xiu liked it and bought it. When Lu Yunran came over, Wang Xiu had already combed her hair into a girl's bun. She was wearing a pink cloak, her face was as fair as jade, and her eyes were shining brightly. Lu Yunran was stunned to see her.
.
The eldest sister-in-law was originally good-looking, but because they were married, they felt that she was dignified, decent, bright and generous every time they saw her. However, they never thought that if the eldest sister-in-law was not married, with her appearance, she would be able to break the threshold of the Wang family.
Already.
The eldest brother... really took advantage of the number one scholar at that time. Otherwise, how could the eldest lady of the Wang family marry into their Lu family?
When Wang Xiu saw Lu Yunran coming, she stood up and grabbed her and said, "I'll go there first, and you and Nan Nan will follow from a distance."
"Don't come too close, as long as they can see us, I'll take them around. Regardless of whether the scholar appears today or not, your eldest brother has already said that this person is not a good match."
Lu Yunran said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand the importance."
Wang Xiu saw that she was so clear-cut, and immediately said happily: "That's good, remember to follow Nannan closely, she will protect you."
After hearing this, Lu Yunran felt a rush of heat in his heart and a sore nose. My sister-in-law cares so much about her safety, but what about herself?
Before Lu Yunran could persuade her to take Nan Nan with her, he saw her running out with her skirt in hand. Looking at her back, she looked like a girl fluttering butterflies, with a graceful figure.
Nan Nan said from the side: "Miss, that's how she is. When she's in the mood, she can run faster than a rabbit."
Lu Yunran asked: "Sister-in-law, is she living well in the Wang family?"
Nan Nan said: "Miss, she lives in the Wang family, she is a female overlord."
"Pfft." Lu Yunran couldn't help laughing. She could imagine such a scene, it must be very interesting.
Wang Xiu quickly turned onto the street in front, but a figure passed by at the corner of the temple. There was nothing unusual about it at first, but when she saw the person's drawing board, she suddenly stopped.
The pearls on his head swayed loudly, and the sudden stop of footsteps made the man who was devoted to painting look back.
He was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. He looked very thin, but he was not short.
He was wearing a thin spring shirt, and his lips were dry and peeling due to the cold wind. His eyes were calm and as deep as a dry well. His originally delicate facial features had become mean due to weight loss, like the years.
A sharply polished blade exuded a murderous aura silently.
At such a young age, logically speaking, it shouldn't be done.
Wang Xiu couldn't help but walk towards his painting stall. There were about a dozen paintings on the stall. The drawing papers were all old, and some were even yellowed.
But the painting looks new, as if it was painted yesterday.
Wang Xiu thought of Lu Yunhong's exquisite paintings with perfect workmanship and no faults could be found, and a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, maybe this person could be the next Lu Yunhong?
Just when she was about to make an inquiry, a man who looked like a scholar came and asked: "Boy, how do you sell this painting?"
The young man replied: "Fifty taels of silver a piece."
The scholar exclaimed: "It's five taels of silver a piece, why don't you go and grab it?"
The young man frowned and said calmly: "You don't have to buy it."
The scholar snorted coldly: "Don't behave like the master. Who knows where you stole it from? For twenty cents, if you are willing to sell it, I will buy it. If you don't want to, forget it."
The young man turned back and continued painting, saying coldly: "I don't want to."
The scholar spat and said angrily: "You are shameless, right? Believe it or not, I will arrest you and bring you to the official."
With that said, he was about to take a painting from the painting stall.
When the young man saw this, he also stood up. Seeing that a conflict was inevitable, he never thought that a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded: "Five taels of silver a piece, right? I want all these paintings."
Both the boy and the scholar were stunned.
Wang Xiu took the painting from the scholar's hand, rolled it up and handed it to the young man: "I bought it all, can you put it in a painting tube for me?"
The young man looked at the girl standing in front of the painting stall and saw that she had outstanding appearance and well-dressed. He knew she was our lady at a glance. What was even more rare was that she was smiling with bright eyes and looking particularly gentle.
"Okay." The young man took the rolled paintings from her and prepared to help her pack up the rest.
The scholar was angry at first, but when he saw the girl next to him clearly, his face turned red for a moment.
"Dare you ask the girl her name?"
Wang Xiu glanced at the scholar and said calmly: "You don't deserve to know."
The scholar was speechless, and then his face twisted, and a burst of anger erupted from his eyes.
He said angrily: "I originally wanted to advise you not to buy his paintings to avoid being deceived, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. You deserve to be deceived by him."
The young man was surprised. His hand rolling the scroll paused slightly, not knowing whether to continue.
When Wang Xiu saw this, he turned to the scholar and said, "I don't deserve this. I have a discerning eye."
"I see you are dressed as a scholar. You must have been studying for a few years. I wonder which academy taught you a good student?"
Seeing that Wang Xiu was calm and composed when he said these words, the scholar suddenly panicked and asked at a loss: "What do you want to do?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "What are you going to do? When you find out, tell Zhou Zhixian another day so that you can visit your mentor."
When the scholar heard this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly asked: "Who are you?"
Wang Xiu did not hide it from him, but said loudly: "You tell me your name first, and then I will tell you who I am?"
"How about it? You don't lose either?"
The scholar's eyes had wandered away. He did not dare to look at Wang Xiu, even afraid that Wang Xiu could see his appearance clearly. He turned around, and in his mind he could only think of the jade comb on Wang Xiu's forehead and the golden hairpin.
South beads, and rubies hanging from the steps.
Either rich or noble!
In a place like Wuxi County, there are only a handful of women who are either rich or noble and know Magistrate Zhou.
The scholar ran away, but he fell down not far after running. His mouth was cut and his feet were injured.
He quickly got up and looked back at the painting stall. He saw the woman taking out money. Even though she was far away, he could still see the large amount of money. For a moment, he was frightened and ran faster.
Wang Xiu looked at his limping back and sneered.
Are you still a scholar? What are you doing?
"His name is Fang Rugui, he is from Xiajia Village, and he studies at Xiajia Private School."
The young man's voice was clear and clear. Wang Xiu turned around and was stunned.
At the same time, the young man also looked at her, but he was silent for a while and quietly lowered his head.
Wang Xiu suddenly reacted and said with a smile: "You want to know who I am?"
