Facts have proven that as long as you choose the right style, it won’t be ugly.

The shopkeeper brought another plate of silver and jade jewelry, and the men's silver crowns and jade pendants were also prepared.

Liu Ji took a rare look at the shopkeeper who was talking nonsense with joy. He stretched out his hand to try on the silver crown when a hand suddenly appeared. He took a step ahead of him and gently pushed the men's jewelry to the corner of the plate.

Liu Ji's hand stopped in mid-air, neither retreating nor advancing.

Do you think he would be embarrassed?

No!

Naturally, he put his hand on a white jade hairpin that can be worn by both men and women, and pretended to show it to Qin Yao, "Madam, this one looks good too."

"Really?" Qin Yao expressed doubts about his aesthetics, but in full view of everyone, she still didn't disgrace him and reluctantly took it and gave it a try. It was really good.

Even with this material in her hands, she always felt that it was very fragile. If she was not careful, it would most likely turn into powder.

Qin Yao said to the shopkeeper: "Forget it about the jade ones."

The shopkeeper felt a little regretful. Gold, jade and precious stones were the most profitable, while silver jewelry could only earn some craftsmen's fees.

However, he continued to enthusiastically recommend other silver jewelry to Qin Yao and let her try them all. Finally, Qin Yao was tired of aesthetics and selected a few silver jewelry that she was satisfied with to settle the bill.

Two thick silver snake hairpins for herself, two pairs of safe and auspicious silver necklaces for the twins, and two silver locks engraved with meditation scriptures for Da Lang and Er Lang.

When paying the bill, Liu Ji looked at her with his big sad peach eyes, rubbed his arm gently against hers, and whispered: "Madam, buy me one, buy one, I want the same."

He was shameless, but Qin Yao was even more shameless, giving him a warning look, that's it, don't embarrass me here!

He hurriedly picked up the white jade hairpin he just helped choose from the tray, put it on the checkout counter, and dismissed him.

Liu Ji's eyes suddenly sparkled with surprise. He took it a step further and lowered himself down, asking her to pin it on for him.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, picked up the hosta, and threw it away. The hosta "whooshed" like a dart, accurately passed through the bun on Liu Ji's head, and got stuck in the hair.

Liu Ji had long been accustomed to Qin Yao's actions. He raised his hand and touched the hairpin. He was very satisfied. The hairpin was inserted very firmly!

Little did they know, the store manager and the shop assistants were so surprised that their jaws dropped.

Can I still wear hairpins like this?

The total cost was thirty-two taels, which was already a very small number compared to the ruby ​​head and face which cost thousands of taels of silver.

But back at the inn, Liu Ji weighed the silver jewelry with his heart pounding, "Madam, we have lost at least twenty taels!"

Qin Yao was open-minded, "I didn't intend to use it as a means of payment. I'm so poor that I wanted to use it as jewelry. At least it's only a few taels of silver, which is better than your broken hairpin."

Liu Ji couldn't agree, and proudly touched his hairpin and argued: "Jade is priceless, how can common things like gold and silver compare with it."

"Besides, this is what you gave to me, madam, and it means something even more different." As he spoke, he felt a little moved.

Qin Yao looked at him for a second and felt that her spirit was polluted. She was so narcissistic!

Was that a gift from her?

It was clearly his own shameless request!

Liu Jicai didn't care, it was her who sent it, that's it!

Qin Yao pulled the quilt over her head, closed her eyes, and slept without seeing.

The next day, Qin Yao rarely got up as early as Liu Ji. The couple had breakfast and then went about their business.

She is about to return today, but Qin Yao still has to go to Shopkeeper Fang to order the wood needed for next year in advance so that the stationery factory can start construction after the year.

Liu Ji stayed at the inn to pack his luggage, feed the horses and load the carriage.

When Qin Yao arrived, shopkeeper Fang was very busy. She waited for a full two-quarters of an hour before he had time to come over and order the wood needed for the coming year.

This matter was done very quickly. Once the contract was signed and the deposit was paid, it only took about half an hour.

Seeing that shopkeeper Fang was busy counting the newly delivered goods, the two of them didn't exchange much greetings. Qin Yao left the New Year's greetings and left.

The sun rarely showed a smile today. When Qin Yao returned to the inn, the sky was sunny and it was a good weather for traveling. Liu Ji bought the food for the two of them to eat on the way. The small charcoal stove was heated and placed in the carriage. Qin Yao went to check out the guest room and settle the room fee.

Everything in Fucheng was arranged. Qin Yao got in the car and sat down. Liu Ji took charge of driving and set off.

After walking for a while, a familiar young man's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Liu Ji slowed down the car and turned around to see that it was Qi Xianguan.

"The teacher asked me to see you off." Qi Xianguan jumped out of the car, took a small wooden box handed over by Shitou, and banged it on the shaft of Qin Yao's car.

Qi Xianguan glanced at Qin Yao sheepishly. The box was a bit heavy and his hand slipped. He didn't mean to smash the shaft of her car.

Qin Yao shook her head amusedly, "Master, be careful. My carriage shaft is fine. You scholars are very valuable."

"What is it?" Liu Ji asked, reaching out to open it and take a look.

He was stopped by Qi Xianguan, who mysteriously told him: "I'll see you when you get home."

Liu Ji agreed immediately, thinking to himself, I will open it when I get out of the city soon!

Qi Xianguan still doesn't know who his junior brother is? This country man has no credibility at all.

So he asked Qin Yao to help supervise.

Qin Yao happily agreed.

Qi Xianguan waved his hand to Liu Ji, "Then you have a safe trip."

Liu Jifei quickly reached out and patted the top of his hair. Seeing that the other person was angry, he swung his riding crop proudly and shouted: "Drive!"

Go out of the city.

Qi Xianguan took a deep breath and told himself in his heart that he should not be as knowledgeable as a bastard like Liu Laosan. A gentleman should have grace. Then he barely violated his own principles and impulsively yelled at the speeding carriage: Shameless man!

Shitou suppressed his laughter and called out seriously: "Sir, it's windy outside, please get in the car."

Qi Xianguan glanced at him, "Don't think that I don't know that you want to laugh!"

Shitou immediately put a dull face on his face and helped his young master into the carriage.

"Sir, what exactly did Sir give Mr. Liu?" Shitou asked curiously.

Qi Xianguan's angry face relaxed, and he showed a successful evil smile, "The teacher gave it to me, of course it is a very good thing."

Shitou: Master, you know nonsense.

"Ah!"

As soon as he left the city, Liu Ji was hit by a gust of cold wind and sneezed so hard that his nose almost spit out bubbles. He quickly reached out to take off the spare cotton-padded jacket hanging by the car door, and put it through his hands in reverse. It is better to use the back as the front and cover the chest to block the wind.

After the carriage drove onto the official road heading towards Kaiyang County, Liu Ji held a riding whip in one hand and couldn't wait to reach behind the curtain of the carriage with the other hand, trying to grab the wooden box sent by Qi Xianguan to see what was inside.

My hands were empty.

He quickly lifted up the car curtain and looked back, and saw Qin Yao holding the wooden box on her knees at some point. She reminded him with a righteous face: "Liu Ji, you must be honest in life. Since I have promised Qi Xianguan to supervise you, I It will be carried out to the end.”

Liu Ji looked at her fists as big as sandbags, and then at her body that was shivering with cold, and decisively lowered the car curtain, taking a step back to open up the world.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was lowered, Qin Yao opened the wooden box herself.

After all, Qi Xianguan didn't say she couldn't watch it.

Qin Yao glanced at it curiously and raised her eyebrows "Wow~", Liu Laosan, you are lucky!

Inside the box are all the ‘winter vacation homework’ assigned by Gong Liangliao to his third son! (End of chapter)
