However, Xia Qingqing was not familiar with the ancient martial arts world, so she still sent Fan Sheng a message saying that if the glass cup was not valuable in the ancient martial arts world, she would still support Fan Sheng with silver of equal value.
The moment Fan Sheng saw the glass cup, he suddenly let out a gasp, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Because it was time to go to sleep, the candles in the room had been extinguished early on. Luo Suyue was startled when she suddenly heard her husband exclaim in surprise.
"Husband, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Fan Sheng subconsciously shook his head, and only after realizing that his wife couldn't see him did he stammer, "Wife, I...do you know what Miss Xia gave me? It's glass cups! Miss Xia gave me two crystal clear glass cups!!!"
Luo Suyue's eyes widened suddenly: "A glass cup? You mean the glass cup that's priceless?"
Luo Suyue suddenly jumped out of bed, relit the candle, and held it in front of Fan Sheng. She saw that he was holding a crystal-clear cup in one hand.
The transparent cup shimmered beautifully under the candlelight.
"It's so beautiful," Luo Suyue couldn't help but say.
"These two glass cups must be worth a lot of money. Miss Xia is too generous."
Fan Sheng thought of the message Xia Qingqing had sent him and lowered his voice to explain, "This glass cup isn't worth much in Miss Xia's world. She said she could give us a few more if we wanted more."
"Ah, give us a few more?" Russell repeated incredulously.
The couple stared blankly at the two glass cups.
After a long pause, Fan Sheng suddenly said in a deep voice, "My wife, I plan to go to the prefectural city tomorrow to sell these two glass cups."
Although there are many wealthy people in Ping'an County where they live, Fan Sheng didn't want anyone to know that the glass cup was passed from his hands for safety reasons, so he had to go to the prefectural city.
"Ah, oh, okay," Luo Suyue responded unconsciously, still somewhat dazed.
This night is destined to be a sleepless one.
After carefully storing the glass cup in the system's warehouse, Fan Sheng closed his eyes and pondered what he needed to do the next day.
The next morning, Fan Sheng set off for the prefectural city. Because of the long distance, he could not return that day and needed to stay overnight in the prefectural city.
Before leaving, he specifically told Luo Suyue not to take the two children out for the next two days and to stay home and wait for him to come back.
Fan Siyuan knew his father was worried, so he clenched his little fists and gestured a couple of times: "Father, don't worry, I can protect Mother and my sister."
"Good son, take good care of your mother and sister for your father. When your father comes back, he will bring you and your sister candied hawthorns," Fan Sheng said with a smile, rubbing his son's head.
“Okay~” Fan Siyuan replied happily.
He only knew that his father was going to the prefectural city to take care of some business, but he didn't know exactly what he was going to do. When he heard that he could eat candied hawthorns when his father came back, his eyes narrowed with joy.
After Fan Sheng left, Luo Suyue was preoccupied with something and spent the whole day in fear, with countless bad thoughts swirling in her mind.
Will my husband be able to sell the glass cup successfully? What if someone sees it and tries to steal it?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she even began to regret sending Fan Sheng to the prefectural city to sell glass cups.
This feeling of worry lasted for two days, and because I was so distracted, I even burned the food.
It wasn't until the evening of the second day, when Fan Sheng returned home covered in dust and carrying large and small bags, that Luo Suyue finally felt relieved after two days of worry.
With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into Fan Sheng's arms: "Husband, you're finally back."
Fan Sheng, somewhat flustered, put his arm around her waist: "Wife, what's wrong? Has something happened at home? Or has something happened to the child? Tell me quickly."
Luo Suyue quickly explained, "No, the children are all resting peacefully in their rooms."
"That's good. Your reaction just now almost scared me to death," Fan Sheng patted his chest. In fact, he had been on tenterhooks for the past two days, worried about his mother and two children at home.
Luo Suyue rubbed her eyes sheepishly. She was so worried about her husband that she couldn't help but cry.
"Husband, didn't you say you'd be home this afternoon? Why are you only coming back now? I thought something had happened to you on the way."
"I was targeted after I sold the glass cups, and it took me some time to shake them off," Fan Sheng said casually.
After arriving in the prefectural city yesterday, he did not immediately sell the glass cup. Instead, he inquired with people in the prefectural city about which pawnshop was the most fair and trustworthy.
He rested at the inn that night and went straight to the pawnshop he had scouted out the next day.
After entering the pawnshop, he told the clerk that he had business to discuss with the manager. Fortunately, the manager of the pawnshop did not look down on him because of his clothes and took him to the inner room of the pawnshop.
When he took out the glass cup from his bag, the pawnshop owner stared wide-eyed.
After some negotiation, Fan Sheng pawned the two glass cups to the pawnshop for 2,000 taels of silver.
After the transaction was completed, the pawnshop manager warmly saw Fan Sheng out of the pawnshop, which may have attracted the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
Not long after Fan Sheng left the pawnshop, he discovered that someone was following him. He dared not go home immediately and drove around the city several times before he finally shook off the person following him.
After realizing he had shaken off his pursuers, Fan Sheng immediately rented a horse-drawn carriage and had them take him back to Ping'an County.
After arriving safely in Ping'an County, Fan Sheng remembered the candied hawthorns he had promised his son. Thinking about how much money he had made, he decided to go on a shopping spree.
I bought gifts for the mother and her two children. Their clothes were worn out, so I bought two bolts of fabric to make new clothes. I also bought more of the pastries the children like. We were running low on grain and oil, so I bought a lot!
After he had finished shopping, he realized that he had bought far too much stuff, and if he took it all back, the whole village would probably stare at him.
So he hired a horse-drawn carriage to take him to the village entrance, and only went home with his things after it got dark.
After hearing Fan Sheng's explanation, Luo Suyue angrily punched his chest lightly: "You're so annoying! Do you know how worried I was about you? And you still have the mind to go shopping?"
"I was just thinking of bringing back some gifts for you and your children after I made some money," Fan Sheng said with a smile, taking out a silver hairpin from his pocket.
"My wife, this is a gift I bought for you. Do you like it?"
Luo Suyue looked at the delicate plum blossom hairpin and nodded shyly: "Yes, I like it very much. Husband, please put it in for me."
Fan Sheng gently helped her insert the hairpin into her hair bun, his eyes full of love: "My wife, you are so beautiful~".
"You're good at making me happy," Luo Suyue hummed softly.
