Chapter 78

Seeing the bright red five-fingerprints on Xia Ao's face, Duan Muyao was stunned for a moment, but she never thought that this slap would hit Xia Ao's face so firmly, she actually slapped the dignified prince!
But it was only a moment of panic before he came back to his senses.

Since he was at fault first, why should he be afraid? Thinking of this, Duan Muyao puffed out his chest without confidence.

"Duanmuyao." Xia Ao's tone gradually calmed down, but the three simple words hit her heart every single word, every inch of it was icy.

Xia Ao took a deep look at Duanmuyao, the strangeness in her eyes hurt her again.He abandoned the prince's self-esteem to come to her time and time again, but as for her, she trampled on his pride and self-esteem under her feet time and time again.He is crazy to stick to it again and again after being thrown away so shamelessly!

"I won't pester you anymore, please do it yourself." Xia Ao left without looking back after leaving this sentence coldly, without any nostalgia.

Why did things become like this?Duanmuyao stared blankly at Xia Ao's receding back and suddenly panicked, she never thought that one day he would leave.

Xia Ao would not have seen it, but at the moment he stepped out of the door, Duanmuyao gently raised his hand to grab at the void, but he didn't grab anything, and when he spread his hand, there was nothingness.

From that day on, Qinglong Baihu could clearly feel that the little master became more silent, this time there was a trace of lifelessness in the silence, lifelessness from the inside out.

Sure enough, since then, there has been no strange noise from outside the yard, and the man has never appeared in her sight again.

"Sister, today is Hongxiu's birthday, let's go to his house to celebrate him."

Duan Mufeng also noticed something was wrong with his sister these few days, but he didn't ask too much because he was always busy with business. Today was just fine and it was Hongxiu's birthday, so he might as well take his sister out for a stroll.

"Okay, I'm ready to go out."

Sitting in front of the mirror, Mu Yao took a deep breath, with an indistinguishable expression on his face, after a long silence, Duan Muyao finally said slowly, "Yu'er, give me a pleasing bun Well, make good preparations later and follow me to Yushifu to attend Hongxiu's birthday banquet."

"Okay, miss." Yu'er got the order and started to work on Duanmuyao's head, her fingers dexterously flipped up and down, and after a while, a delicate and beautiful hairstyle was formed.

"Sister is really getting more and more beautiful." Duan Mufeng was in a daze for a while when he saw Duan Muyao at the door, and then realized that this woman with picturesque eyebrows and eyes was the milk doll when he was a child.Time passed so quickly, and my sister grew up in a blink of an eye.

"Then I would like to thank my brother for the compliment." Duanmuyao said with a charming smile, completely gone from the look of sadness just now, since they are all out, let's keep a good mood and have fun!

"You are really thick-skinned, you should be humble when you are praised." Duan Mufeng was a little funny, his sister was really not polite at all, but didn't he just want her to be like this, dare to love, dare to hate, not affectation.

"No, no, I am obviously getting better and better, so what is there to be humble about, if I am more humble, it will be called hypocrisy!" Duan Muyao said with reason and evidence, which made Duan Mufeng laugh out loud.

"Brother, do you have any gifts for brother Hongxiu?" Duanmuyao remembered that he had been dressing up just now, and he hadn't prepared a gift for Hongxiu yet.

Brother Hongxiu?Duan Mufeng raised his eyebrows, and Hong Xiu really took a big advantage.

"He's one of his own, don't care about those red tapes, don't worry about gifts." Duan Mufeng knew that his sister didn't prepare any gifts, but Hongxiu didn't pay much attention to this aspect at all, it was just a formal thing, so it didn't matter if he didn't give it.

"How can this be done? Since I'm going to attend someone's birthday banquet, there's no reason not to bring a gift." Duan Muyao curled his lips, no matter how you put it, it's a wish, and I still want it.

"Yu'er, I remember that our 'Yishixuan' is near here, take me there." Since she had Ji Le and Qinglong Baihu as her powerful right and left hands, her shop in Yandu is like They have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and industries of all walks of life, large and small, have emerged one after another.

And this Yishixuan is one of the spring bamboo shoots that just popped up, a shop specializing in jade articles.Duanmuyao thought for a while, Hongxiu is also an official son, he must have seen a lot of worldly things, if you can't get ordinary things, just give a piece of jade.Just a few days ago, the shopkeeper said that a piece of precious jade is very rare, and it should be considered a good gift for Hongxiu.

Duan Mufeng was taken aback by the words 'Our Yishixuan', why didn't he know when his younger sister owned this property, and it seemed that Yu'er knew about it and was familiar with it, only he was kept in the dark.

"Sister, when did you open Yishixuan?"

"Just a few days ago, Qinglong Baihu started a family when he said he was idle and bored." Duan Muyao shamelessly blamed Qinglong Baihu for everything.

Hidden in the crowd, Qinglong and Baihu, who silently protected the little master, staggered and almost fell down. Without such slander, it was obviously the young master who said that he would open another jade shop for the convenience of buying jade in the future.

When they came to Yishixuan, a chubby shopkeeper immediately came out to greet him, with a friendly smile on his face, and the two waiters who were sitting in the seat gave off a bright light when they saw Duanmuyao's eyes .

Duan Muyao was used to seeing this kind of eyes and didn't feel any discomfort, but Duan Mufeng was taken aback, he always felt that he was being looked at by a buddy.But soon he found that the man was not looking at him, but kept staring at his sister, and he was used to seeing her.

"Master!" The two guys said excitedly, since the master rescued them from the world and the people, they have never seen the master again.Later they were sent to train, until they came to work in this shop not long ago, and they were still paid.

At this time, their gratitude to Duan Muyao was not to mention how strong, and they worked harder when they knew that they were helping the master to take care of the store.

"Yeah." Duanmuyao smiled lightly, asked the shopkeeper how his business has been these past few days, and then got to the point, "Shopkeeper, you said last time that you bought a piece of rare jade, take it out."

"Okay, miss, wait a minute." After a while, the shopkeeper took out a brocade box from a seemingly inconspicuous cabinet, with a cautious look, as if shaking it hard would break the jade inside.

"Miss, this is it." The shopkeeper gently placed the brocade box on the pear-blossom table, Duan Muyao opened the brocade box, and inside lay a small piece of jade, no more than the size of a thumb. From Duanmuyao's point of view, it is extremely exquisite and clear, without a trace of impurities.

All she can see is this... As for where it is rare and expensive, she really can't see it.

The shopkeeper didn't wait for Duan Muyao to say anything, "Miss, this piece of jade is a very rare kind of 'Laokeng Glass Jade', which is invaluable in itself, and what's even more rare is that its color is very uniform. , pure and free of impurities, very high transparency..." He couldn't shut up the chatterbox when he mentioned his industry shopkeeper.

"Then what's the estimated price of this piece?" Duanmuyao wiped off the cold sweat silently in his heart, and told her that she didn't understand. She just thought that this piece of jade looked pretty good. As for the collection value... ...It is better to tell her that the price is more reasonable.

"Miss, without 5000 taels of gold, I will definitely not be able to get this piece!" The shopkeeper said firmly.

5000 taels of gold, Duanmuyao's hand holding the jade trembled, and the shopkeeper's heart trembled when he saw it.

Whether it's true or not, the price is on par with Suo Hong's worth, Duan Muyao twitched his mouth, "Then how did you get it, this shop doesn't seem to have such a big expenditure."

"Hey." The shopkeeper smiled treacherously and completely lost the appearance of the kind little old man before, "It's just my luck that I missed it. One day when I went to buy goods, I happened to see this rough stone lying on the ground. I saw it immediately. Seeing its extraordinary features, I picked it up, but I didn't expect it to be such a top-quality product!" He recalled that day with excitement on his face.

Duan Mufeng watched and silently praised his sister's management ability. If such a thing happened in his shop, I'm afraid the shopkeeper would not report it to the master but take it for himself.

"Next month, half of the profit in the store will be shared with everyone." Duan Muyao was also surprised. In fact, if the shopkeeper didn't take the initiative to tell this kind of thing, no one would find out, but he did.Duanmuyao has always been generous, especially to those under her command. To her, the profit of a shop for half a month is really nothing.

But the shopkeeper and the two guys were too excited to speak.

"Okay, I'll take the jade away, you guys continue."

"You must live up to the high expectations of the master/Miss!" Duanmuyao's subordinates naturally called her Miss, and the rescued slaves were more accustomed to calling her Master Duanmuyao, because the lady belonged to everyone and the master belonged to them.

"Sister is really good at hiding things so deeply." Duan Mufeng said with a sour tone, why doesn't he know everything about his sister? If he didn't buy a gift for Hongxiu today, he wouldn't know anything.

Moreover, thinking about the 5000 taels of gold being given to Hongxiu by my sister without blinking an eye, it really hurts my heart.Why is it not his birthday, Duan Mufeng was annoyed.

"No matter how deeply I hide, I'm still your sister." Duan Muyao said to Duan Mu Feng Shunmao with a good temper, "I'll give you a better gift than this next time."

"Okay." I don't care whether the gift is expensive or not, as long as my sister is willing enough.

Finally came to the Yushi Mansion. At this time, the Yushi Mansion was full of people, and there were many people coming and going at the door, so it was lively.

"Brother, they seem to be asking for invitations. Do you have any invitations?" Duanmuyao couldn't help but smacking his lips. It's just such a grand celebration for a birthday. Fortunately, she specially prepared it, otherwise it would be too shabby up.

"No, but our faces are invitation cards." Duan Mufeng smiled and led his sister in, and sure enough, the boys didn't stop them, and they went in without any hindrance.

"Wow, it turns out that the young master of Duanfu is so beautiful!" said a female nymphomaniac.

"Young master, he's just a bastard." A man's tone was full of jealousy.

"Hmph, that's better than you. He's at least an in-line successor now." A woman glanced at the man with disdain and continued nympho.

Then a group of people began to discuss about Duan Mufeng's status as a concubine. If Duan Mufeng didn't care, it didn't mean she didn't care either.

The corner of Duanmu Yao's mouth curled up in a place where no one could see, very good, she remembered the man just now!
"Don't worry about irrelevant things." Duan Mufeng frowned. It was not the first time he heard such words, and he already had immunity.

"That's right, miss, we just want to come here happily and go back happily." Yu'er also persuaded, she didn't expect that the people outside are so bad now, and the young master didn't provoke them to slander them so maliciously.

"It's here." Duan Mufeng stopped in his tracks, and there was a burst of laughter in the distance, "This is all Hongxiu's mother's idea. She wanted to hug a grandson early, so she came up with such an idea." Duan Mu Feng explained.He still remembered the expression on Hongxiu's face when he told him about it.

This is too anxious, Duanmu Yao's forehead twitched.

"Let's get together inside first, and then go out after the banquet officially begins."

It turns out that there are grades here too, Duanmu Yao pouted.

Duan Mufeng and Duan Muyao walked in and the laughing crowd quieted down. This battle was really big. There were still five magnificent princes, Bei Ling'er, Zhang Yu, and Suohong who just got married. Such a beautiful family... This is not a big battle, especially since I haven't seen him for a long time, I will inevitably feel a little flustered when I suddenly see him now. Although Duanmuyao's face is still calm, no one knows that her heart has already been stirred up. stormy sea.

"Here, sit here." Hongxiu invited Duanmuyao and his sister to sit down, "Why are you here so late?"

"It's not because my sister heard that brother Hongxiu is going to celebrate his birthday and went to pick out a gift." Duan Mufeng gave Duan Muyao a spoiled look and explained, and then greeted everyone present, politely lose arrogance.
