When The Flowers Falls, I’ll See You Again - Chapter 35
Chapter 32 The sword is presented to the beauty (1)
When I was in Chongzhou before, I only thought that Chongzhou City was the most prosperous city in the dynasty. I didn’t expect that this city in Ganzhou was not inferior. Condensed as a foreigner, not only does not feel unfamiliar, but a kind of intimacy.
Walking on the street, watching the lively scene beside me, the unreal feeling like a dream surfaced again. I thought that I was shopping with Yang Zhen in Chongzhou not long ago, but now I have arrived in Ganzhou in a blink of an eye, and the people next to me have also become Ganzhou’s romantic young masters. The changes are too fast. When it rains, I am rescued, get sick, and I promise Duan. Fei… everything really came out like a dream.
“What is the beauty thinking?” Duan Fei wrapped her arms around her waist and looked at her, “Although she is beautiful, her face is too pale.” After speaking, he ignored the eyes of others and walked to the store next to her while hugging her: “Go. Buy some rouge, the rouge gouache here is famous.”
Hong Ning did not refuse, and followed him into the store.
Who in Ganzhou does not know this gold master? As soon as the two entered the door, the shopkeeper was full of smiles, and immediately ordered his staff to put out the latest and best products for the two to choose, and he himself served the best tea.
A dozen boxes of rouge were lined up.
Duan Fei sat down on the chair next to her and smiled at her: “Beauty takes whatever she likes.”
Hong Ning’s nature is not good, she glanced at it: “Whatever.”
This time, even the shopkeeper was surprised. These rouge are not affordable for ordinary women. Usually, he does not know how many beauties he has brought to patronize. Either he is ecstatic and responds quickly, or he chooses to act like a spoiled child, but he never gets it. With this answer, I suddenly lost my mind, and my heart told you to choose whatever you want and pretend to be reserved, so I tentatively asked Duan Fei: “Young Master Duan…”
Duan Fei didn’t care: “Buy them all back.”
Before he finished speaking, Hong Ning took out the box: “Then this box.”
The shopkeeper’s smile froze on his face. The surnamed Duan didn’t have a wife, he was just a woman from outside. He didn’t take advantage of this opportunity, why should he save it for him? Such a good opportunity to show off was wasted, stupid! After thinking about it, he seemed to understand something again, showing a sudden look, secretly admiring it, she was really smarter than other girls, and knew how to use long lines to catch big fish.
Duan Fei really followed her: “Beauty will choose whichever box she likes.”
Seeing that the next person paid the bill and put away the box of rouge, Hong Ning also knew that what he did just now was not in line with his identity, and secretly regretted it, and explained casually: “I don’t like rubbing rouge, so I bought so much and lost it…” Suddenly stopped , smiled wryly, it really is a habit of being frugal, and pretending not to look like it.
Duan Fei smiled and agreed: “Beauty is right.”
Unable to see what he was thinking, Hong Ning simply shut up and said no more, followed him out the door, and bought some gold and silver jewelry and fabrics one after another. Of course, she had paid much attention to it, fully showing her taste and taste, and she had no choice when choosing. Hesitant, after a circle, the four attendants were full of large and small boxes and fabrics in their hands.
Passing by his own Yinzhuang, Duan Fei suddenly remembered something important, and went in with his entourage to find the shopkeeper. Hong Ning was not interested in these, so he said that he was watching juggling and wandered the street alone.
There were a lot of people around in front, squeezed in to take a look, but it was a poor scholar in his thirties who was selling swords.
“This is not an ordinary sword, but an ancient sword with a thousand-year-old handle, used to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits. It was handed down from the ancestors when he was an official.” According to the procedure, the scholar first boasted about the sword, and then made a sad expression.” It’s a pity that now the family is in ruins, and there is no food and clothing, so I have to find another good owner for it, and whoever can afford it, I will sell this family’s treasured sword to him.”
The sword lay on the ground, faintly glowing with blue light, nothing special, and the scabbard was made of wood, which was a bit worn and looked really inconspicuous, so everyone was suspicious and talked a lot, but no one asked the price.
Hong Ning is an expert, and when she found that strong evil spirit, she knew that it was an ancient sword, so she stepped forward and said, “How to sell it?”
No one cared about it for so long, the scholar was anxious and overjoyed when he heard the words: “Sure enough, the girl is a person who knows goods. If this is the case, the girl will estimate a price. If it is suitable, I will sell it.”
Knowing that he was a layman, Hong Ning didn’t want to lie to him with her conscience. Thinking that she only had twenty taels of silver on her body at the moment, she asked, “How about twenty taels of silver?”
Unexpectedly, this ancestral broken sword could be worth twenty taels. The scholar was overjoyed. He didn’t ask if there was a higher bidder, and immediately offered the sword with both hands: “Twenty taels agreed, this sword belongs to the girl.”
She spent twenty taels of silver to buy a broken sword. Some people around her felt sorry, some shook their heads, and some praised her for knowing the goods. Hong Ning didn’t care, she took the silver and handed it to the scholar, and took the sword and played with it.
The sword body is cold and murderous.
Just like a martial artist who changed his career, he would feel itchy when he saw a good weapon. He had no intention of buying a good sword. He knew that he would not need to subdue demons and eliminate ghosts in the future. Hong Ning still liked it very much. “Hold on.”
It was a well-dressed woman with snow-faced eyebrows and a very eye-catching dress, followed by two maids and a few servants. The crowd that was about to disperse immediately gathered again. Who did not know that this well-known beauty was Miss Su, the daughter of the prefect of Su.
Hong Ning didn’t know her and frowned, “Is something wrong?”
Miss Su didn’t answer, she just looked at the maid next to her. The maid understood and threw two silver coins to the scholar: “My lady bought this sword for twenty-five taels of silver.”
Looking at the money in his hand, the scholar froze for a moment, then immediately looked at Hong Ning with a smile: “This…Miss Su’s price is higher than that of the girl, the girl looks…”
Hong Ning understood what he meant and smiled: “One hand pays the other hand, you have already accepted my money in front of so many people, can you change your mind?”
The scholar knew that he was wrong and was speechless for a while.
The maid stepped forward and said, “Our lady is going to buy this sword for the master. It’s better for the girl to be a favor, let it go.”
The other party’s words were euphemistic, but his expression was very arrogant. Hong Ning was even more disgusted, and said indifferently: “I bought the sword, and your master is the king of heaven, can you still rob me?”
The maid grimaced to speak, but was stopped by Miss Su: “Since this girl has already bought it, we will pay 30 taels and ask the girl to resell it.”
When the scholar heard that the money was going to fall into someone else’s hands, he was in a hurry and stepped forward to pull Hong Ning: “I won’t sell it!”
I have decided to say goodbye to the past. Hong Ningyuan didn’t have to use this sword, but it was because he was in urgent need of money at the time, so he had the intention to buy it. Now, after hearing what Miss Su said, he was about to let go, but he took the initiative instead. Pulling, aroused his temper for a while, raised his eyebrows and took two steps back: “The things that were sold are taken back, is there any reason in the world?”
The scholar blushed and pointed at her, then turned to the crowd: “This is my family’s treasured sword, but she is only willing to give twenty taels. It’s clearly deceiving me and ignoring my money!”
Some people say that he is not, some say that he is deceived.
Hearing what he said was outrageous, Hong Ning became angry: “What if I lied to you, you handed the sword to me, did I rob you?”
Seeing that she was leaving, the maid next to her hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her, and deliberately slowed down her speech: “Miss, it’s better to do it conveniently, let it be for our young lady.”
Some kind-hearted people also persuaded implicitly: “Since the lady of the Su Zhifu family likes, the girl will let it go.”
At this moment, the scholar has come to stop her: “You… why are you unreasonable, all the neighbors, hurry up, this girl can’t afford the money, so she wants to deceive my sword!”
Knowing that the transaction has been made, and if you really want a sword, you can discuss it with yourself in private. Now that the prefect is making an offer in front of so many people, it is clear that she has no fear and wants to force herself to give up the sword. Hong Ning sneered and was about to speak. , but heard a voice from the crowd: “Who can’t afford the money?”
The five people came out. The first was a young man. The white robe embroidered with gold trim, the finest fabrics, and the most exquisite workmanship seemed to be only suitable for this person. With the description of handsome, the temples were like ink, and the eyebrows were smiling. Naturally suave and suave, he just stands in the crowd at will, which is already a dazzling scenery.
Soon someone recognized him and spread the word in a low voice, and they felt incredible. This girl was very neatly dressed, and she looked like him.
Miss Su also looked at him in a daze.
He didn’t look at anyone else, grabbed Hong Ning’s waist, and rebuked softly: “Beauty wants to buy a sword, why don’t you explain it clearly, just ask him to go to the silver number to get the money.”
Hong Ning smiled.
Miss Su returned to her senses and greeted softly, “Young Master Duan.”
Duan Fei was surprised when he saw her: “It turns out that Miss Su is also there.”
Hong Ning specially emphasized: “Miss Su also wants to buy a sword.”
