"Who's a spoiled brat?"

"I just wanted to buy something, but the shopkeeper wouldn't sell it to me."

"Ouch, that hurts." Qi Jun's handsome face contorted in pain. If no one else dared to do that, he, Young Master Qi, would have dragged them out and given them a beating long ago.

But this was Fu Man'er, so all he could do was shout, "Are you going to give me a piece of candy or slap me again?"

"The shopkeeper already said they don't have Yun brocade." Fu Man'er was watching from the side at the time, and Qi Jun's behavior was practically forced buying.

"Who told you that there's nothing good in this town?" Qi Jun muttered. Yun Town was far inferior to the bustling capital.

Fu Man'er nudged him, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Qi Jun's expression became uneasy, and he dared not look directly at Fu Man'er. "How far is it from the capital to Yun Town? I have to be careful, otherwise you'll see me unharmed?"

He suffered a lot on his journey, and it was only when he arrived in Yun Town that he started to act like a young marquis.

"Besides, isn't Yunzhen home to you and the Xu family? I'm already here, can't I even relax a little?"

Not to mention that the three bodyguards he brought with him were all top-notch fighters, he himself also knew some martial arts, so protecting himself was not a problem.

"Is that all?" Fu Man'er was still a little skeptical.

Those piercing eyes fell on Qi Jun, making him feel even more insecure.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and told the truth, "I came from the capital in a hurry, and I was in a rush along the way, so I didn't dare to stop and didn't bring you any gifts."

"I was thinking of looking around in town, but this shabby place of yours doesn't have anything good. I wandered around and finally set my sights on that Yun brocade, but who knew the shopkeeper wouldn't sell it to me."

Fu Man'er racked her brains but couldn't figure out the reason. At first, she thought Qi Jun was just deliberately causing trouble.

This article is first published on the TaDu Novel app.

"I am, after all, a young marquis in the capital, so I can't be too stingy with my gifts, but right now I don't have anything else to give you."

In fact, Qi Jun had already prepared a gift for Fu Man'er, but since he had run away secretly, he didn't dare to bring the gift out in a big way, and he was also worried about the safety of carrying the gift on the road.

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that there's nothing good in this lousy place of yours," Qi Jun emphasized again.

Yunzhen was also a bustling place, but it paled in comparison to the capital, so the arrogant young master Qi naturally looked down on it.

Fu Man'er looked at Qi Jun and suddenly fell into a daze. To be honest, she didn't actually have much of an emotional connection with this younger brother.

She even wondered if Qi Jun, such a high and mighty person, might be hostile towards her, his older sister who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, or look down on her.

But from the moment she met Qi Jun, these ideas were constantly being overturned.

Just like now, Fu Man'er felt a warm glow in her heart.

"Hey, you're not really angry about this, are you?" Qi Jun asked when Fu Man'er remained silent for a while.

Fu Man'er snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "No."

Not only was she not angry, she was actually quite happy.

Qi Jun propped himself up on the bedpost, reached into his pocket, and then casually tossed something to Fu Man'er.

"That's all, here you go."

His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if he were bestowing something upon Fu Man'er.

When Fu Man'er picked it up, she saw that it was a gold medal only half the size of her palm. In the center was the character "Qi" and around it were complex and exquisite patterns, but Fu Man'er couldn't make out what the patterns were.

Later she learned that this was the Qi family crest, a totem personally drawn for the Qi family by the current emperor.

"Is this a token?" Fu Man'er held it in her hand and weighed it. It was heavy, and the gold medal had a very good luster, so it must be made of pure gold without any impurities.

She had seen similar plaques before, such as those belonging to the Cao family. Cao Zixuan had a jade plaque engraved with the character "Cao," which symbolized his status as the young master of the Cao family.

Other families with larger businesses also have them, but they usually have wooden plaques, and a few have jade plaques. This is the first time I've seen a gold plaque like this for a Fuman'er.

"I suppose so." Qi Jun glanced at the gold medal. "You'd better keep this medal safe. You can exchange it for the biggest courtyard house in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital."

You have to understand, land in Beijing is incredibly valuable, and many people with money can't buy it even if they want to. In Beijing, relationships and connections are everything.

Fu Man'er played with the gold medal for a while, then handed it to Qi Jun, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not going to the capital, so I don't need this medal."

Qi Jun's eyes widened. "You don't want it?"

"Do you know how much it costs, and how many connections it takes to buy the largest courtyard house in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital?" Qi Jun thought to himself. She must not know the extent of this, which is why she did not realize how important this gold medal was.

"I don't know." Fu Man'er shook her head honestly.

"You!" Qi Jun was so angry that he didn't want to say anything. He had never seen such an ungrateful person.

"Just take it. I, Young Master Qi, have never taken back anything I've given away."

Qi Jun felt that he had become worthless after coming to this run-down town. Back in the capital, so many people wanted the things he gave them, but now he couldn't even give them away. It was outrageous.

"I really don't want it. Even if I go to the capital in the future, I won't need to buy a house there." The implication was that giving her the gold medal would be a waste.

Qi Jun tossed the gold medal back into Fu Man'er's arms. "Even if you don't buy the house, you can keep it. You can use it to smash dried fruit, okay?"

What was originally just a spiteful remark from Qi Jun turned out to be something Fu Man'er actually agreed to: "Yes, this should be quite suitable for cracking walnuts."

She had already cracked walnuts with gold when she was five years old. Her hands were so small back then that she couldn't even hold that lump of gold properly.

This piece is not only flat, but also the right size, making it easy to smash.

"Perfect timing, I'll crack some walnuts for you." Fu Man'er pulled over a small table, picked up some walnuts from the plate, and started cracking them.

"I've heard that walnuts are good for the brain, you should eat more of them."

In the blink of an eye, the walnuts were cracked open. Fu Man'er picked out the tender white kernels and handed them to Qi Jun, saying, "Here, eat up."

Qi Jun took it with a dark face, then looked at the small table. For a moment, he didn't know which thing to be angry about.

Only Fu Man'er could crack walnuts with this gold medal. If the people in the capital saw it, they wouldn't dare eat the walnuts; they would have to enshrine them and even collect the walnut shell fragments.

"What are you standing there for? Eat up! Eat more to replenish your energy." Fu Man'er picked up a few more pieces of fruit and put them into Qi Jun's hand.

Qi Jun had already lost his temper, and Fu Man'er was no longer beating around the bush; she was blatantly saying that he was brainless.

Qi Jun took a step back and bowed deeply to Madam Ru. "Mother, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"I will never sneak away again next time."

Upon hearing this, Fu Man'er unconsciously raised her voice, "There will be a next time? That's not what we said back then."

"There won't be a next time," Qi Jun quickly corrected himself.

Lady Consort stared blankly at her son, then at her daughter, feeling both surprised and delighted.

What surprised Qi Jun was that he could actually listen to Fu Man'er, and what pleased him was also that he could listen to her.

What does this mean? It means that the siblings have accepted each other.

"Alright, alright, Mother believes you." Madam Ru helped Qi Jun up and then took Fu Man'er's hand.

"Our family is finally reunited today." This was a day that Madam Ru had longed for, and it had finally come true.

Fu Man'er didn't speak, but let Madam Ru hold her hand.

Xu Yi escorted the person to the house and was about to leave when he said to Fu Man'er, "You should rest well in the mansion for the next few days. I'll take care of everything else."

They were to get married in five days, and according to custom, they could not see each other for the first three days.

Now that Madam Ru has arrived, Fu Man'er has settled down in town, partly to keep Madam Ru company and partly to follow local customs.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, and at this moment, they would usually share a loving hug.

Xu Yi had already stretched out his hand when a spoilsport voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other too intimately? We're not even married yet, you have to follow the rules, or I'll break your hand."

Qi Jun appeared beside the two of them at some point, his eyes fixed on Xu Yi's hand, his voice so loud that even Madam Ru, who had just entered the gate, turned around.

In front of his elders, Xu Yi restrained himself and subtly withdrew his hand.

Qi Jun took the opportunity to pull Fu Man'er inside, saying, "Hurry up, I got up too early and I'm so sleepy, I want to go back and continue sleeping."

They had only taken a few steps when Qi Jun's cry of pain rang out, and Xu Yi at the door laughed without any restraint.

With Qi Jun around, Man'er shouldn't be too bored during these five days.

I just don't know if this young Marquis Qi can withstand it.
