Chapter 122 Wandering around the capital
"Tsk, you're just bragging! Will the master listen to you?" Qingqing retorted with disbelief, but she had a faint expectation in her heart, hoping that what Qingyi said was true.
"Hey, don't be so unconvinced. When you get back to me, you'll know how powerful I am." Qing Yi raised his eyebrows with a confident look on his face.
She curled her lips slightly, rolled her eyes, and ignored him, instead examining the small items on the street. The streets of the capital were bustling with activity, the cries of vendors echoing one after another, and all kinds of novel items were on display.
Seeing this, Qing Yi said very generously: "Qingqing, just pick whatever you like, and I will give it to you. I am in a good mood today, so you can choose freely!"
"Ah? Did I hear it right? What did you say, Hero Qingyi?" Qingqing deliberately tilted her head, pretending not to understand.
"Hey, you girl! If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. Take it or leave it!" Qing Yi was also looking around to see if there were any new gadgets that caught his eye.
"Oh, yes, yes, thank you, Master Qing Yi, but do you have enough money?" Qingqing asked anxiously. Why was this guy suddenly so generous? After choosing for so long, he finally paid for it himself, right?
"Hey, hey, I'll let you pick. Anyway, you don't have to spend any money. I'm a hero who keeps my word, so you can put your mind at ease."
Seeing this, Qingqing didn't hesitate. Since the boy had asked, she decided to choose first. She had brought some money with her, so she could just pay for it herself.
Her eyes lit up, she picked up a silver hairpin with a pearl flower, looked at the hero Qing Yi who was about to pay her the silver, and said, "This hairpin is nice! But this silver hairpin probably can't be cheap!" Will this guy feel sorry for the money?
"Buy it! Do you need anything else? I think this silver bracelet is pretty good, do you like it?" Qing Yi said generously, but Qing Qing felt something was wrong. Could it be that this boy was teasing her again? She looked at the silver bracelet hesitantly.
"That's fine, but..." Qingqing was undecided.
"Hey, this young man has good taste. This pair of silver bracelets was made by a famous craftsman. Look at how delicate the carvings are. They are on par with those worn by the ladies in the palace. Wearing it will make you look both beautiful and noble." The shop owner saw that the young couple had taken a fancy to his things and hurriedly started to sell them.
"Well, I bought it!" Qing Yi waved his hand like a rich man and said proudly.
"Oh, no need, just the hairpin will do." Qingqing was not used to the boy's generosity. She thought to herself, this boy has always spent the master's money. He is so generous today, could it be that the master has given him a lot of money? Forget it, even if he doesn't save money for him, he can't let the master spend money!
"Boss, pack up the hairpins and silver bracelets, we want them all. Qingqing, take another look and choose one for Qingfeng." Qingyi said.
"Ah? Qingfeng's too?" Qingqing asked in surprise, her eyes widening. What's wrong with this kid? What good thing happened to him? Why is he so abnormal?
"What are you waiting for? Choose quickly." Qing Yi urged.
"This one, I think Qingfeng's belts are old, this one is pretty good." He gently picked up a black belt with dark patterns and looked at it carefully.
"Okay, this is it!" Qing Yi took a look and didn't object. He held a headband with dark patterns in his hand and said, "How about buying this for your master?"
He leaned over to take a look, shook his head and said, "The things the master uses on a daily basis are all made by a professional. He is very particular about what he wears. He won't use these things."
Qing Yi didn't care and said with a smile: "Specially made? I can't do needlework! This is it, just consider it as my token of my appreciation. Boss, how much is this worth?"
"Sir, the total amount is three hundred and twenty taels." The boss had already calculated it and his face was full of smiles. Hehe, he met a rich man today.
"Okay, wait a moment." Qing Yi agreed, but did not take out the money. Qing Yi turned around and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Gone?" Qingqing's face was full of disbelief.
"He's afraid of spending money?" The boss was also bewildered. The things had already been packed, waiting for the rich man to pay for them. Why did this man just turn around and leave? The boss took the things and cast a look at Qingqing who was standing there stupidly. His eyes seemed to say: "Do you still want the things? This young master of yours is too unreliable!"
Qingqing's face flushed red, and she stamped her foot in anger, cursing inwardly, "I knew this brat was playing tricks on me. How could he be so kind as to buy something for a little maid like me? I'm never going to talk to that brat again!"
Qingqing had no choice but to reach into her purse, but there was only a silver note worth one hundred taels, and the rest were just a few taels of loose change. How could this amount of money be enough?
Qingqing looked at the boss's slightly sympathetic eyes and felt even more ashamed. She had to bite the bullet and said, "Boss, I...well...I only want this belt. I don't want the others for now." After picking for a long time, she didn't want any of them. Qingqing felt that she couldn't afford to lose face in front of him, so she had to take the belt that was chosen for Qingfeng and planned to pay for it herself.
"Okay, this belt is thirty-five taels. Girl, when choosing a person, don't just look at the appearance, but also pay more attention to the character." The boss also saw the girl's embarrassment and couldn't help but persuade her.
"Ah, that, we are not..." Qingqing wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start, and her face turned red with anxiety.
Just as Qingqing was about to pay, Qingyi came back, accompanied by a young man. Qingqing recognized him immediately. Wasn't this Xue An, the man Qingyi had once thrown into the lake when they were out playing together?
"Great hero, great hero, spare me, spare me!" Xue Anben was drinking in a restaurant. He sat by the window on the second floor, just in time to see the bustling market outside. Coincidentally, he spotted a young man in blue clothes selecting something at a small jewelry stall. He looked familiar, and after a closer look, he said, "Oh, it's Qing Yi from the Northwest Palace! How did I run into this idiot?"
Xue An was severely punished by Qing Yi last time, and he was really scared to the core. He shrank his neck and wanted to hide.
