She had plundered the imperial palace and emptied the mansions of several wealthy families and corrupt officials. The jade articles and jade pendants that had passed through her hands were worth at least tens of thousands of dollars. Even if she was not proficient in jade, she could easily see that the jade pendant was not worth so much silver.
Seeing Feng Jiuyan's big move, the vendor's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to his fawning smile.
"Oh, my dear, don't worry, the price is negotiable." The vendor said hurriedly, picking up the jade pendant that Feng Jiuyan had just thrown back to the stall, but his eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about something.
Feng Jiuyan snorted and glared at the vendor, "You profiteer, you're asking for eight taels of silver for this broken jade pendant? You really think I'm a sucker!"
The vendor hurriedly picked up the jade pendant with a smile, "Then name a price, sir. If it's suitable, I'll give it to you."
"No, please don't. My status is not worthy of it." Feng Jiuyan waved his hands quickly and took a small step back.
She was just trying to hide the panic on her face so that Fu Yanci wouldn't see it, not that she was really going to buy anything.
Having said that, she pretended to leave.
But who would have thought that Fu Yanci would walk towards her with big strides, then stand firmly in front of the stall, and use his inner strength to transmit a message to her: "Someone is following us."
Hearing this, Feng Jiuyan quickly glanced around with the corner of his eyes. As expected, a few stalls away, there were a few young men looking at them furtively.
Feng Jiuyan quickly retracted his gaze, pretending to look at the items on the stall, and asked in a low voice, "Then what are we going to do?"
Fu Yanci didn't show any strangeness on his face, and didn't answer Feng Jiuyan's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since you're here, just pick one out. Since you don't like that jade pendant, we can look at other things."
As he spoke, Fu Yanci glanced at the items on the stall. Finally, he picked up a white jade hairpin and placed it in front of him to examine it carefully.
Feng Jiuyan's gaze also shifted to the white jade hairpin, and a burst of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This white jade hairpin grew on her heart.
This white jade hairpin is soft and flawless, as smooth and delicate as sheep fat. A small and exquisite fox is carefully carved on it. The fox is lifelike, with each hair strand clearly visible. Every line is smooth and natural, showing the charm of the fox to the fullest. Its agility is amazing, as if it will jump out of the hairpin at any time.
Although the jade quality of this white jade hairpin is not the best, the beauty lies in the vivid little fox on it. The little fox has a cunning look in its eyes, and the exquisite carving makes this little fox the finishing touch of the whole hairpin.
Fu Yanci held the white jade hairpin in his hand and studied it attentively. Then he slowly turned around and glanced at Feng Jiuyan. He nodded repeatedly, "Well, they are very similar."
"What do they look like?" Feng Jiuyan asked in confusion.
Fu Yanci smiled and chuckled, "Like you. Look, the little fox's cunningness is just like you."
Feng Jiuyan's heart choked. She? Cunning?
"Okay, just consider it as a compliment." She said with a frown.
Fortunately, there was not a pig on the white jade hairpin. If he said she looked like a pig, she would definitely be angry!
When the vendor saw that Fu Yanci liked the white jade hairpin in his hand very much, he immediately smiled and said flatteringly: "Sir, you have a good eye. Although this white jade hairpin is made of leftover materials, its texture is as smooth as jade, pure white, and the carving is even more exquisite.
Look, this little fox seems to be about to rush out. To be honest, the best thing in my stall is this white jade hairpin. "
Feng Jiuyan admired the vendor's shamelessness. She had just heard him say the same thing to the previous buyer.
She looked at the vendor and said faintly, "Boss, I just heard you say the same thing to the last customer."
The vendor was exposed, and an awkward smile appeared on his face. "Haha, yes, that's right. I have another white jade hairpin here, which is made of the same scrap as the one in your hand."
As he spoke, the vendor took out a wooden box from the side. When he opened the box, he saw another white jade hairpin with a little fox carved on it lying quietly in the brocade box.
However, the white jade hairpin in the box is obviously larger than the one in Fu Yanci's hand, and is more suitable for men. The fox white jade hairpin in Fu Yanci's hand looks smaller and more suitable for women.
Fu Yanci picked up the white jade hairpin from the brocade box and placed the two hairpins together for comparison.
Feng Jiuyan glanced at the two jade hairpins. The vendor did not lie. The two hairpins were indeed made of the same piece of white jade.
Although Fu Yanci did not reveal his feelings at all, Feng Jiuyan could still tell from his eyebrows that he liked the pair of white jade hairpins very much.
Thinking that he had no money, she would probably have to pay for it. So, she quickly asked the price. "Boss, how much are these two white jade hairpins?"
The vendor rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of smiles, "Haha, I see that I get along very well with you today, and it's getting dark, and I'm in a hurry to close the stall and go home, so I'll give you a discount, two hairpins for only eight taels of silver, how about that?"
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
What a profiteer!
Those two white jade hairpins are nice, but they are definitely not worth so much silver!
Fu Yanci said cheerfully, "Well, wrap them up."
