Chapter 14 Chapter 14 She is like a pearl on the grassland, she should not leave...
The young man had a handsome appearance and was wearing a fur coat that was out of place among the people around him. He sat there quietly with several animal skins in front of him, all of which looked freshly tanned.
Xuanling Street was very busy. Logically, the good-quality animal skins in front of him should be popular with people, but for some reason, his stall was very deserted.
Cuiping whispered in her ear, "This guard brother has to sell leather to make a living. I imagine his family must be quite miserable."
Wu Jingxun listened to her words and hummed vaguely.
Pei Huaiguang just felt it was a bit strange to meet her again, but he unexpectedly read some compassion in her clear eyes.
Is she feeling sorry for herself?
Pei Huaiguang snorted softly, lowered his head and concentrated on weaving the grass ring in his hand.
The next moment, the skirt embroidered with orchids appeared in front of him.
"Excuse me, how much is this fox fur?"
Wu Jingxun wanted to repay his benefactor.
But her benefactor had a rebellious look and would not easily accept other people's kindness. He might even think that her way of thanking him by hastily handing over the purple pearl that day was too arrogant.
She thought about it and changed her approach.
Pei Huaiguang lazily lifted his thin eyelids: "Thirty taels of silver."
Cuiping, who had originally felt sorry for the guard, screamed, "Thirty taels of silver? Why don't you just go and rob him?"
The quality of this fox fur is... well, it does look pretty good, but it's worth thirty taels!
Mrs. Tong usually doesn't give her any pocket money, and the master never thinks of giving it to her, so it all depends on her uncle who lives far away in Jiangzhou to send some things over from time to time.
Cuiping felt sorry for her wife's purse.
Wu Jingxun did not hesitate. Pei Huaiguang saw her carefully take out three silver fish from the purse embroidered with orchids.
He subconsciously pressed his chest.
It was from that purse that she took out the purple pearl that day.
After the payment and delivery were settled, Wu Jingxun didn't linger for long. He turned around and was about to leave when he heard a low voice from behind: "Wait."
He didn't know her name, but he didn't want to call her sister-in-law now.
Wu Jingxun lowered his eyes and saw the grass ring in his hand floating in the breeze, the tiny ears swaying slowly, which was quite wild and interesting.
He held up the grass ring as if offering her the most pious gift.
She smiled. "Thank you."
Pei Huaiguang would not admit that he was distracted by this smile, so he lowered his head and ignored her.
Wu Jingxun didn't take it seriously, but when the carriage was shaking, he suddenly thought that if he was short of money, would he pawn the purple pearl?
On second thought, this purple pearl was originally her thank you gift. If it could help him solve some of his urgent problems, then this purple pearl would be his destiny.
Maybe one day I can meet that purple pearl again and buy it back.
Wu Jingxun thought so and felt happy.
After the exceptionally beautiful girl boarded the carriage and left, the sisters-in-law and young ladies who had been frightened by the boy's cold face and dared not approach her before happily surrounded her again.
result--
"Not selling it anymore?"
"Yeah, let's wait—uh, now that we're here, why don't you sell it?"
After a lot of effort, they waited for someone brave enough to go and claim the opening bonus. When they saw that the handsome young man with a cold face didn't curse at them, they kindly stepped forward to take care of his business!
This group of Jinling women started chattering, and they were no different from the women on the grassland.
Pei Huaiguang clenched the silver fish in his palm. Anyway, he was sure to win the bet today, so it didn't matter whether the remaining things were sold or not.
The young man, who was dressed strangely but was indeed handsome, carried his things and left, leaving the big guys standing there muttering and cursing for a long time.
Wu Jingxun looked at the fox fur and thought, "It's a little small. I'll make a stove cover for my mother, a pair of gloves, and a pen cover for my brother..."
The girl's happy expression froze when she was severely punished by Mrs. Tong.
"I allowed you to attend the Changyi County Princess's banquet so I could broaden your horizons and meet more people. This would help you advise your brother on his wedding day. But you've only done shameless things!" Madam Tong blushed with anger. "Now the news of your pre-wedding meeting with Prince Pei is everywhere in the streets and alleys. You've ruined the good reputation I worked so hard to build for you!"
Her tone was agitated, and Wu Jingxun was somewhat at a loss: "Mother, things are not as they are said outside."
"No?" Madam Tong didn't believe a word of it. "Then why didn't you take the initiative to tell me that you met Prince Pei at the banquet?"
Wu Jingxun was tired of Mrs. Tong's always sharp attitude.
Madam Tong seemed oblivious, saying bitterly, "Would a man cherish a woman who throws herself at him before marriage? No matter how beautiful a woman is, once she's got her, she won't cherish her anymore. I painstakingly told you to keep your distance from the Prince of Pingning before marriage because I didn't want your value to drop. But you're so good, you just keep throwing yourself at every man you see!"
This is really an exaggeration.
Wu Jingxun's face turned pale, but she did not lower her head as usual. She looked directly into Madam Tong's eyes filled with anger: "Mother, I didn't do that."
Even though he was used to his mother's harsh criticism and scolding, Wu Jingxun could no longer tolerate such derogatory and derogatory words.
She did not deliberately try to get close to Master Pei out of self-deprecation. Master Pei was even more open and honest. Not only did he save her out of kindness, but everything he did was in accordance with etiquette and did not make her feel uncomfortable at all.
Seeing that she dared to talk back, Madam Tong was furious and raised one hand high -
Wu Jingxun raised his eyes completely, which were usually drooping, and looked at Mrs. Tong with a clear and stubborn gaze without any dodging.
The expected pain never came.
Wu Peifeng's face turned pale and he held Mrs. Tong's hand.
"Are you crazy?"
