Chapter 17: Visitors from the Imperial Capital



"No money, no money. Since you are so polite, grandpa will give it to you." The stall owner was an old man. He looked at the lively girl in front of him as if he was looking at his own granddaughter.

"Ah? Really? Thank you, Grandpa." Shui Yaoyao was overjoyed and ran away happily with her beloved hairpin.

"Gurgle..."

Shui Yaoyao stopped, touched her belly, and a hint of complaint appeared on her face.

"It's all Brother Ye's fault. You came all the way here and didn't even take me out for dinner. Instead, you just went to talk about things. Talk, talk, talk until you die!"

Muttering to herself, Shui Yaoyao was attracted by the fragrance and walked to a bun shop.

"Boss, boss, give me ten buns!" Shui Yaoyao wrinkled her nose. She felt like she could eat a mountain now!

"Ten?" The owner of the bun shop was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and kept wiping his sweat. It turned out to be Uncle Yang.

"Little girl, my buns are big. Two are enough to fill you up. Why do you need so many?"

Gu Yuan was chewing on the bun in his hand. The first thing he did after returning from the city was to run to Uncle Yang's place to eat buns. However, it seemed that he had met a silly girl today.

Gu Yuan looked at the girl in the green dress with great interest. She was looking at the buns pitifully and swallowing her saliva. He couldn't help laughing. What a cute girl.

"If I say I want ten, I want ten. How can you be so unwilling to do business?" Shui Yaoyao pouted and muttered.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, if you want ten, I'll give you ten." Uncle Yang laughed and handed over ten freshly baked buns.

"Is it meat buns? Yaoyao only likes to eat meat." Shui Yaoyao looked at Uncle Yang with anticipation.

"Hahaha, it's all meat, it's all meat!" Uncle Yang laughed as if he was amused.

"That's good." Shui Yaoyao looked excited and was about to pay the bill, but she was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she had no money on her!

"It's over. Brother Ye is responsible for our meals on the road. I don't have any money." Shui Yaoyao slapped her face, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"Boss...um...I forgot to bring money when I went out..." Shui Yaoyao whispered with her head down, and it was almost impossible to hear what she said at the end.

"Um...it's okay, take it. I can buy on credit." Uncle Yang looked at Gu Yuan indifferently. "I don't even know how much this guy owes."

Gu Yuan looked aggrieved. What does it have to do with me?

"No, mother... Mother taught me not to ask for things from others casually. So, I'll leave this with you."

"Here, this is for you. You must keep it well. I'll bring money to redeem it when I go back later." Shui Yaoyao took off the jade bracelet on her hand and handed it to Uncle Yang with a sincere look on her face. She completely forgot where she got the hairpin on her head...

"I can't take this." Uncle Yang shook his head. This thing looked very valuable. How could an ordinary person afford it?

"I'll pay for you, so you don't need the bracelet." Gu Yuan shook his head, walked forward to take the bun and said, such a cute girl, she really does everything for food.

"Uncle Yang, let's settle the previous accounts and pay them together." Gu Yuan turned to Uncle Yang and said.

"Did Gu Xiaozi make money?"

"Hehe, I made a little profit." Gu Yuan touched the tip of his nose and said embarrassedly. If it weren't for Uncle Yang's help over the years, he would have starved to death long ago.

"Mmm, your bun."

"For me?" Shui Yaoyao looked at Gu Yuan and asked cautiously.

"What else?" Gu Yuan asked back.

"Hehe, thank you. What's your name?"

"Gu Yuan, Gu means to take care of, Yuan means origin."
