Upon hearing that it was so cheap, everyone eagerly took out their money to buy it.
Zhao Xiaonian, however, did not forget to remind them: "My peach blossom bracelet only brings good fortune to those who are destined to have it. If the connection is not strong enough, the effect will naturally be poor. Don't come looking for trouble with the master then."
You must each bear the consequences of your actions.
Jiang Yimian looked at Zhao Xiaonian, who was completely surrounded by the crowd, and could only shake her head helplessly.
It's been a few months, and this kid's swindling and cheating skills have improved!
They even chose a good spot to set up their stall.
Although the people on this street are not as wealthy and noble as those on Changyue Street, they are not bad off either. They don't care at all about buying a bracelet for thirty coins; they just want some psychological comfort.
Therefore, even if the bracelet really has no effect, I guess no one will come looking for him.
If it works, they might all be as grateful to him as Miss Sun.
After entertaining everyone, Zhao Xiaonian was so engrossed in looking down at his day's haul that he grinned from ear to ear, completely oblivious to the familiar figure not far away. He was just counting his coins while humming a little tune.
He really made a lot of money today from this peach blossom bracelet. As expected, Song Er was right. Even if fortune telling is cheap, not many people will come.
Selling bracelets is still the most profitable.
He feels really bad that everything he eats, wears, and uses in the Jiang family is taken care of by Sister Yi Mian's family. It's good that he can come out and earn some money now.
It would be fine to buy some snacks for the two kids, so they wouldn't have to eat for free at the Jiang family's house.
Just as he was feeling happy, he suddenly felt the light in front of the stall dim. When he looked up, he met two scrutinizing eyes.
Two young women were sitting in the carriage, looking at the peach blossom bracelet on his table.
Xue Lingyu glanced at it briefly and was about to tell the driver to leave when the maid beside her said with a smile, "Miss, why don't we try this peach blossom bracelet? I heard it's quite accurate."
"Didn't you say, Madam, that your marriage to the heir of the Marquis of Anding seems to be settled?"
Xue Lingyu smiled smugly, but still pretended to be shy and said, "Nothing like that, don't talk nonsense, or people will laugh at us."
Her mother only told her that the Marquis of Anding seemed to have relented and had brought up the marriage between the two families with her father. She was very likely to marry into the Marquis's mansion soon.
This is the only good thing that has happened to her in the past few months.
A few days ago, because of the dispute with Baoxiangfang, she was confined to her home by her father. She was finally able to go out to attend a banquet, but people kept bringing it up and laughing at her, openly and secretly, for not being as good as Miss Xue.
She couldn't refute it, and now that her marriage to Prince Lu was imminent, let's see who dares to laugh at her.
Seeing her embarrassment, the maidservant said, "Miss, I've heard that this peach blossom bracelet can help lovers get married and even rekindle the relationship between estranged couples."
Although I don't know if it's real or not, the meaning is good anyway, so I'll buy one for you.
The atmosphere in the mansion was originally quite good. The master and mistress had a respectful relationship, though not exactly good. However, ever since the mistress and young lady returned from Jincheng, they have been disliked by the eldest princess.
The atmosphere inside the mansion was somewhat strange.
The master is often away from home, and when he does return, he always has a cold face and seems to be in a bad mood, making all the servants tremble with fear.
Now that there's finally a happy occasion in the household, they are naturally delighted.
Today, I noticed that the master had a smile on his face.
Xue Lingyu glanced at the items on the table, a flash of disdain crossing her eyes. Then, thinking of Prince Lu, she nodded and said with a smile, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll take one."
When she learned that Prince Lu had returned to the capital, she felt a faint sense of anticipation, hoping to marry him as soon as possible.
Originally, her favorite person was the Prince of Chu, but unfortunately she didn't have many opportunities to get to know him. In addition, after hearing about the Prince Lu's work in the Censorate, she was quite satisfied with him.
Especially now that Prince Lu has returned from Qingnan and will soon be promoted, he is so young and has a bright future. Marrying him would not be as good as becoming a princess, but it would not be any worse.
On the day the Inspectorate's entourage returned to Beijing, she caught a glimpse of Lu Cijian from afar.
The young man rode on a tall horse, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the people around him. But when he looked in one direction, the corners of his lips curved into a smile, and his already handsome face became even more dazzling.
Just thinking about that day made her heart race.
She was quite satisfied that she could marry Prince Lu.
That day, she saw many noble ladies in the capital secretly looking at that person. If it weren't for the engagement between Prince Lu and her, those people's gazes would have been even more blatant.
In a few days, there will be a palace banquet, a day to reward the officials who have returned from Qingnan. She will have the opportunity to say a few words to Prince Lu.
Presumably, the other party is willing as well.
Although she was not as talented as her sister, who was considered the most talented woman in the capital, she was still a lady from a respectable family and quite beautiful. Anyone who saw her would surely like her.
Zhao Xiaonian listened to their conversation, glanced at Xue Lingyu, and muttered to himself, "Brother Cijian actually has a fiancée, but compared to Sister Yimian, she's nothing special."
In terms of being a perfect match, no one can compare to Brother Cijian and Sister Yimian. Just seeing the two of them standing together is a pleasure to behold.
Moreover, they are all so amazing.
If Ci Jian Ge were to give up Yi Mian Jie to marry the person in front of him, he would think Ci Jian Ge was blind.
Just then, a disgruntled voice rang out, "Hey, old man, bring me the bracelet, my young lady wants it."
As the maid spoke, she tossed a handful of copper coins out of the carriage, completely ignoring the coins scattered all over the ground, and looked down at Zhao Xiaonian with an air of superiority.
Zhao Xiaonian glanced at her and said irritably, "I'm not selling anymore. We don't have any today."
As he spoke, he put away the bracelet on the table, stuffed the copper coins he had just counted into his pocket, and also put away the low stool.
What kind of person is this? He's a businessman, not someone who's here to be humiliated. He'd be crazy to sell to someone like this.
Xue Lingyu frowned.
The maidservant angrily retorted, "What are you doing? Quickly bring me the bracelet! Do you know who my young lady is?"
Zhao Xiaonian didn't even glance at her, just hummed a little tune and continued tidying up the table.
Seeing that she was being ignored, the maidservant cursed, "You old fool, what do you mean? You gave me copper coins but not anything else? You're not leaving today if you don't hand over the bracelet."
"Old Chen, arrest him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the coachman hurriedly got off the carriage and kicked over the stall.
Instantly, all the pebbles and fortune slips on the table scattered all over the floor.
As if that wasn't enough, the driver stomped on the fortune slip on the ground and said impatiently, "Are you deaf? Hurry up and bring me the bracelet."
Zhao Xiaonian was furious and shouted, "What are you doing? I already said we don't have any left. Are you trying to force me to buy or sell? Get out of here right now!"
The maid said irritably, "I clearly saw another bracelet. Why won't you sell it to us? Bring it here right now."
It's an honor for you to be favored by my young lady, so don't push your luck.
"A fortune teller at a street stall has dared to challenge our Minister's residence!"
Although Xue Lingyu didn't speak, she didn't stop the maid's actions, clearly indicating that she approved of it.
