Chapter 152 Once you miss it, it’s no longer yours
Nan Yan began to wander around this small town called Nan'an.
The local customs and habits here were indeed different from those in Jinling. Many people were wearing strange and colorful clothes that she had never seen before. They were obviously the attire of the Yue people.
The things these people were selling were also very special. Of course, she had seen some of them before, such as the gorgeous silk. She went through several silk shops, all of which were run by people from Yue. The satin there seemed to be similar to the one used by the ladies in the palace.
However, Nan Yan was not very interested in these things. She only looked at them for a while and stopped in front of a small vendor's stall.
She saw something familiar on the stall, a bright red string, and reached out to pick it up.
The young man immediately smiled and said, "Do you like it, girl? Buy one."
“…”
"This kind of love bracelet looks best on young ladies like you."
Nan Yan didn't say anything, but just looked at the bright red bracelet seriously.
It was somewhat similar to the one Ye Zheng had given her before, no wonder she recognized it at first sight, but it was not made of coral beads.
She asked, "What kind of beads are these?"
The stall owner said, "These are not beads, they are acacia beans."
"Love beans?"
"Yes, look how beautiful this red one is."
It’s really beautiful.
Nan Yan held it in her hand and looked at it carefully for a while. It was indeed a bit similar to the coral bead bracelet. In fact, to be honest, she really liked that bracelet. She liked it the first time she got it in her hand. She liked it for some unknown reason. So even though Ye Zheng was mysterious and didn't tell her the origin of the thing, she accepted it against her usual habit and even found a jewelry box to keep it carefully.
But I didn't expect——
She looked up and asked, "How much?"
"It's not expensive, ten cents."
"oh."
It was indeed not expensive, Nan Yan immediately reached into her arms, but when she touched it, it was broken.
She forgot to bring money with her.
At this moment, a familiar and gentle voice came from behind: "Nan Yan, what are you looking at?"
Looking back, she saw Jian Ruocheng, who looked particularly handsome and elegant in a green robe, walking over. Nan Yan felt a little embarrassed and was about to put the bracelet back, but the stall owner understood immediately and said, "This girl wants to buy this bracelet."
Nan Yan was anxious and said quickly, "No, I won't buy it."
Jian Ruocheng came over, looked at the bracelet in her hand, smiled and said, "It's very beautiful and suits you very well. Why don't you buy it?"
The stall owner said quickly, "Really? I thought it would suit this girl, too. People here are all dark-skinned, and such bright colors wouldn't look good on them. This girl is fair-skinned, and such bright colors are perfect for her."
“…”
Nan Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You know so much."
"Of course. I've been in this business for over ten years. I can tell at a glance what's suitable for a girl."
“…”
Nan Yan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Jian Ruocheng smiled and said, "The boss is right. This thing is very suitable for you."
Nan Yan then said embarrassedly: "I-I don't have any money."
The stall owner sighed with regret, but immediately, his shrewd eyes looked at Jian Ruocheng. Jian Ruocheng looked at the bright red love bracelet thoughtfully, then reached out and took out his purse.
Nan Yan got anxious when she saw this and said hurriedly, "Master Jian—Master Jian, no, I won't buy it."
Jian Ruocheng smiled and said, "I know what you're afraid of. Consider this money a loan from me. Just pay me back later."
"borrow?"
"Yes," he said with a smile, "Nan Yan, sometimes you can't hesitate when you like something. Once you hesitate, you'll miss it, and once you miss it, it's no longer yours."
