Chapter 226 Master got drunk and went crazy
Seeing that the fat lady was so scared that her face turned pale, Nan Xuan curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
He didn't take anything else but the wooden hairpin he had just picked.
"How much?"
The fat lady's flesh was trembling all over: "Fifty... fifty cents!"
The hairpin turned around between his fingers and was pinched between two slender white fingers.
Nan Xuan smiled gently, picked up a green jade bracelet next to him, and exerted force on it.
Fat Lady: ...
"Three...thirty cents?"
"How much did the hairpin that young man in blue buy just now cost?"
The fat lady didn't dare to hesitate: "Ten taels!"
"That's more like it!" Nan Xuan rolled his eyes at her and held out his hand, "Change!"
The fat lady trembled as she rummaged through her purse, took out four silver ingots, and placed them in Nan Xuan's hand.
“Is…enough?”
Nan Xuan took the ingots, took the wooden hairpin, and took out a string of copper coins, threw them on the stall, and then left without looking back.
The fat lady let out a breath and collapsed to the ground like a piece of soft steamed cake.
Passing by Ling An, Nan Xuan casually put the wooden hairpin into his hand.
Ling An looked at the ordinary hairpin and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "...Pavilion Master?"
"Hey, no need to thank me too much," Nan Xuan waved his hand carelessly, "You're twenty this year, right? I won't give you a red envelope. Just consider this a New Year's gift."
Ling An clasped his palms together and could still feel the residual warmth on the hairpin.
His cheeks flushed slightly, and he put the hairpin into his arms. Then he followed the snow-white piece of clothing and turned into the restaurant.
In the Xiaoya Hall on the second floor, Jingzhen sat cross-legged in front of a small table.
Opposite him was a gentle and expressive young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old.
There were several exquisite dishes on the small table, but neither of them touched them.
The young man with a gentle face pursed his lips and smiled: "Jingzhen has lost weight."
"Royal brother." Jingzhen lowered his head and called him softly.
Ye Jingtian nodded: "You've been away for so many years, it's been hard."
Jingzhen did not answer.
Ye Jingtian sighed softly: "I feel more at ease knowing that you and Pavilion Master Nan are outside."
"Ye Jinghua has returned from the reunion banquet. According to my father, if he has any achievements next year, he will be recalled to the capital at any time."
"But according to the laws of Dakang Kingdom, he..." Jingzhen frowned.
Ye Jingtian shook his head: "You have delayed him for several months, and he is already very good. I tell you this to remind you and Pavilion Master Nan to be more careful."
Jingzhen wanted to say something else, but Ye Jingtian chuckled and curled his lips: "It's New Year's Day, let's not talk about this."
"It's rare for us brothers to meet, so let's not mention these unlucky people anymore."
"Your Highness is right."
A lazy and casual voice sounded from the door of the small hall.
Immediately afterwards, Nan Xuan walked in with a smile.
He placed the silver ingots he had received from the fat lady on the table in front of Jingzhen, and then sat down next to Jingzhen.
"You're so young, yet you're still a spendthrift. Look, how much silver did I get back for you?"
Ye Jingtian was still there. Jingzhen's face suddenly turned red and he glared at Nanxuan.
Ye Jingtian said helplessly: "Master Nan, please bear with me. My brother has a bad temper and has caused trouble for you."
"It's no trouble, no trouble," Nan Xuan waved his hand and glanced at Ling An standing behind him, "Our Ling An is also causing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trouble."
Ling An was caught off guard by being mentioned, and his hand holding the sword tightened, his face red all the way to his neck.
He was picked up by Nan Xuan and brought back to Xuantian Pavilion. After being trained by him for three years, he was sent to serve as a personal bodyguard to the Crown Prince Ye Jingtian.
Because of this, he was depressed for a long time, and always thought that Nan Xuan picked him up and trained him just to send him to Ye Jingtian as a bodyguard.
But today, he seemed to have discovered something different.
…
Jingzhen and Nanxuan returned to Feishui Village in the evening of the fourth day of the New Year.
The crimson sunset made the bare open space at the foot of the mountain behind the village look very beautiful.
Nan Xuan leaned against the wall with a piece of straw in his mouth, and Jing Zhen knocked on the door of the Yun family.
"Who is it?" With a crisp and soft sound, the door creaked open.
Baoya and Gu Wang stood at the door and saw a young man in a blue brocade robe.
"Brother Xiaojing!" Baoya laughed happily, "Are you here to take me back?"
Jingzhen nodded, took out the silver hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Baoya: "This is a New Year's gift for you."
The silver hairpin was sparkling, and it was shaped like two fluttering butterflies. The design was simple and pretty. Baoya took it in her hand, and her starry eyes curved with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaojing! Did you just get back? Come to my house and sit for a while and rest your feet."
Jingzhen shook his head: "It's getting late."
Baoya noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Then he asked carefully, "Are you going to visit your family members for the New Year?"
Baoya remembered that except for the time when Jingzhen took the initiative to mention that he wanted to use the big turtle raised by his father to treat her mother's leg, he seemed to have never mentioned his family on his own initiative.
I thought Jingzhen wouldn't answer, but the boy nodded gently: "I went to see my brother."
"It turns out that Brother Xiaojing also has a brother," the little girl blinked her eyes, her pink little face showing her cleverness.
"Then, Brother Xiaojing's brother should also be a very good person, right?"
Jingzhen pursed his lips: "Yeah."
"I'll take you to see him if there's a chance."
"Okay!" Baoya nodded happily.
"Oh, that's right!"
She suddenly pulled out two red paper packets from her bosom and handed them to Jing Zhen: "Little Brother Jing, has Master become stupid from drinking?"
"Um?"
"He gave me and my second brother a red envelope of fifty taels of silver each. Return it to him quickly. If he can't find it when he sobers up, he might scold you."
Jing Zhen: ...
Nan Xuan, who was hiding behind the wall: ...
Jingzhen caught a glimpse of Nan Xuan's face turning dark, and quickly stuffed the red envelope back into Baoya's arms.
"That's right, just take it."
"But," the little girl said with an embarrassed look, "this is fifty taels!"
Do you usually give children so much New Year’s money?
"The thing he has the most is money," Jing Zhen said seriously, "Giving you fifty taels is stingy. Remember next time, ask for a hundred taels."
"Really?" Baoya looked unconvinced.
Fifty taels of silver would take them two months to earn even with their family's current financial resources.
"real."
Jingzhen nodded and glanced at someone who was hiding outside and refused to show up.
Nan Xuan rolled his eyes at him.
Jing Zhen ignored him and waved to the lonely king, saying, "It's time to go."
The lonely king was very reluctant to leave, and rubbed against Baoya's legs and hummed.
Just as Jingzhen was about to call out again, the lonely king, who was acting coquettishly beside Baoya's legs, suddenly perked up his ears.
It looked back vigilantly at the small figure running out of the house, shuddered all over, and followed Jingzhen quickly.
Yunyue ran to the door, but only caught up with the backs of Jingzhen and the lonely king leaving.
Wu Bu said with regret: "Bao Ya, I am leaving, why didn't you tell me? I didn't even say goodbye to it properly."
Baoya thought of the wolf fur scattered all over the floor by Yunyue and smiled: "Next time, I'll bring it home to play."
