Phantom Spear - C179
The last time he mentioned it: Faang Xinyao was depressed about her father’s matter, so she walked to the capital to stroll around. Unknowingly, she arrived at the jade shop that Young Master Liu brought her over to last time. Faang Xinyao stayed outside the door for a while. With her sharp eyes, the shopkeeper immediately recognized Faang Xinyao as the one who bought the Moon Jade the last time and very politely invited her into the shop. Faang Xinyao wanted to buy a good piece of jade to give to Young Master Liu as a gift to thank him for his kindness. On the other hand, after Jiang Feng and Lu Jianfei did not find Faang Xinyao at the outskirts of the city, they immediately rushed back to the city. Lu Jianfei instructed the city guards to pay close attention to Faang Xinyao. Once she wanted to leave the city, he would stop her, and then, he and Jiang Feng would quickly search for her.
Lu Jianfei asked as she walked: “Master Chiang, since you and Faang Xinyao are good friends, do you know where she frequently goes to when she was in the capital?” Although he felt that his relationship with Faang Xinyao was not bad, he did not have any idea where Faang Xinyao liked and liked to go, so he said: “Master Lu, I’m really not too sure about this. Lady Faang is usually very independent when he acts, and she does not like speaking too much to others. Lu Jianfei could not help but frown and said: “Master Chiang, the next time we interact, you need to be more careful, and greet more people. If anything happens in the future, I have my own ways to deal with it. ” Jiang Feng nodded his head and said: “I will follow the instructions, but Master Lu, in such a big city, where should we start looking?” Lu Jianfei pondered for a moment, then said: “I think that even though Faang Xinyao is a girl with a strong temper, she is still a woman. She will definitely like things like jade and silk.” After Jiang Feng heard this, he felt that it made sense, and said: “But Lady Faang’s mood is extremely depressed, is she still in the mood to look at those things?” Lu Jianfei held his head high and puffed out his chest, then said: “Hmph, no matter what, she was born to be a lady of a noble family, and when he is depressed, he will usually talk to his friends. She did not come to find you, but chose to calm himself down, and would definitely find something he likes to hide, or even to forget his unhappiness, so we first went to take a look at the best jade shop in the capital, then went to look at the other cloth shops along the street.” Jiang Feng didn’t have any good thoughts himself, so he agreed to follow Lu Jianfei.
The shopkeeper asked, “Lady, how is it? Do you like this piece of jade? ” Faang Xinyao was very happy in his heart. He felt that this piece of jade was very suitable for the Young Master Liu. The shopkeeper saw that she didn’t say anything, but he could tell that she liked it. He then said, “Lady, if you like it, I’ll give it to you. Take it.” Faang Xinyao regained her senses, put down the jade and said: “Boss, I cannot take the things in your shop for nothing, the jade is very precious, although I have not seen too much, it is definitely high quality jade.” The shopkeeper said with a smile, “Lady is indeed the owner of good eyesight, this jade is indeed from the Western Regions, and it is a top quality jade. As the saying goes, a beautiful jade goes with a beautiful lady, and a pure jade is given to a gentleman, this jade is definitely suitable for that young master.” As Faang Xinyao listened to the shopkeeper hinting at something, he became suspicious and asked, “Boss, why do you think that I have to give it to that young master?” The shopkeeper laughed: “Miss, you don’t have to hide it from me. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Young Master who brought you to our shop last time had a deep affection for you. “One must think about it, when this man gives a jade to a girl, he usually gives it to her as a token of love. The jade that young master bought for the lady last time was the most precious gift. I was also young when I came here, so I still understand.” As Faang Xinyao heard the shopkeeper’s words, his heart involuntarily beat faster, and he thought to himself: He, the last time he gave me such a precious jade, was it because he wanted to tell me his true feelings? He clearly knows that it is impossible between him and me, so why is he still doing this? Why is he so stubborn? Suddenly, Faang Xinyao seemed to recall something that the Young Master Liu had once said: So what if we become enemies because of our different positions in the future? At least we have been friends, at least we have known each other for the rest of our lives, as the saying goes, to be a friend, to die without regrets. Being able to meet the Lady Faang is the greatest honor of my life. When Young Master Liu had said those words, he did not have much feelings for her. After all, in his heart, he had some enmity towards her. However, after hearing the shopkeeper’s words today, looking at the Jade of the Moon in his hand and then looking at the jade on the table, the complex feelings in his heart immediately surged and he didn’t know what to do.
The shopkeeper saw that Faang Xinyao was lost in thought again, and said: “Miss, please take this piece of jade, I will make the most of the money in my business, but today I will not charge you one or two taels, I hope, on the day that you and that Young Noble are fated, you can invite me to have a cup of wine, what about it?” Faang Xinyao naturally did not know what the shopkeeper was thinking, the shopkeeper had kept on selling jade for so many years, he had never seen anything like this before. Last time, just by looking at Young Master Liu’s attire and temperament, he knew that he must have been rich indeed, and taking in a large amount of silver last time was natural, but now that he saw Faang Xinyao again, he remembered that it was natural to be forgiving first, and today, he gave this piece of good Yang Fat Jade to Faang Xinyao, in hopes of letting them drink a cup of wedding wine. At that time, they would be able to get to know more about each other. The shopkeeper had such a plan in his mind, but Faang Xinyao’s expression suddenly changed. He kept the Jade of the Moon and gently put down the jade, then said: “Boss, I don’t need this jade.” The shopkeeper had already thought about giving it away, but when he heard Faang Xinyao, he casually said something along the way: “Alright, I’ll give it to you now … What? Miss, you don’t need this jade, do you not like it? This jade is for that young master. ” Faang Xinyao shook her head decisively and said, “I really don’t want this jade.” Seeing that her plan had failed, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, “Lady, do you think this piece of jade is bad? Why don’t you wait for me for a bit and I’ll help you find it. See if there are any other jade stones suitable for that young master.” At this moment, Faang Xinyao turned around and walked out, leaving behind only a sentence: No, boss, you have to do your business well, I hope you can prosper in your business. Before the shopkeeper could react, Faang Xinyao was already far away, and said snappily: “What the hell is this, why did the fat sheep that you have in your hands suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye, it’s such a pity, I still didn’t get the chance to use it today, I really didn’t expect that after twenty years of wandering around the commercial city, you still have time to miscalculate, detestable, if there’s a chance next time, I will definitely gift this jade to you.” Alone in the shop, he mused to herself for a long time.
Faang Xinyao quickly walked out of the jade shop, her thoughts running amok. She thought: A good marriage, haha, this is probably a huge joke, I also want to marry a well-informed, gentle, and considerate young master, but, his father and my father’s positions are different, and they are on different sides. How can we get together? This was truly a ridiculously great joke. A good fortune was just like the reflection of the moon in a mirror. It seemed beautiful, but was simply untouchable. I have to save father. If father is fine, there is a slight possibility that the grudge between him and Liu Shichen will be resolved, so I will once again consider my marriage. Haha, am I dreaming? At this moment, Faang Xinyao’s mood, which had finally calmed down with great difficulty, became calm and tranquil once again. She was in extreme pain and had sunk into a deep emotional tribulation …
What about later?
And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
