"Oh, no, no, I can't take advantage of you. This thing is really worthless, nobody wants it. I don't have much change to give you. Why don't you help the young lady pick out a couple of things from here?" The old man was unwilling to take advantage of others.
In the end, Lu Qian couldn't persuade the old man otherwise and let Zhuzhu choose two items.
Zhuzhu looked and looked, and then picked out a round ball that looked dark to give to Xiaopiaoliang to play with. She also picked out a wooden cigarette holder to give to her grandfather.
The old man was only happy after they took three items.
Lu Qian had no choice but to secretly follow the old man back to his home. Knowing that the old man lived in a nearby village and was a lonely old man, Lu Qian quietly left him thirty taels of silver so that he could have enough to eat and wear.
After Lu Qian took the things back, Old Master Lu was so happy he almost fainted.
Silver Moon, the legendary Silver Moon, has actually entered the Lu family.
Those discolored silver skins might be beyond the capabilities of others, but the Lu family possessed them, and could easily restore the Silver Moon to its original brilliance.
When the Lu family learned that it was Zhuzhu who had led Lu Qian to find this item, they felt even more favorably toward Limai and Zhuzhu.
Grandpa Lu originally wanted to invite Li Mai's family to dinner today to thank Zhu Zhu, but after learning that Li Mai's shop was opening today, he changed the date to a few days later.
"Little Qian, what are you daydreaming about? Let me introduce you. This is my elder brother, you can call him Brother Yun. This is Chu Yan, and this is Zhong Hui. They are my land deities, you can call them Young Masters." Li Mai glanced at the dazed Lu Qian and called out to him.
They don't leave after delivering the goods, isn't it because they want to get to know their customers?
This kid has been behaving very well these past few days, and she and Zhou Quan treat him like a friend, so naturally they are willing to introduce him to Yun Chang.
"Brother, this is Lu Qian, the eldest son of Lu, the richest man in Qingshi Town. This Yingxiang Tower is the Lu family's property, and he usually manages it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qian quickly bowed to Yun Chang, Chu Yan, and Zhong Hui, and addressed them respectfully.
Although he didn't know the identities of these three people, he had traveled all over the country with his father and had seen a lot of people. These three people were obviously not ordinary people.
Especially Li Mai's older brother, although I don't know why he doesn't share the same surname as her, his aura is too strong.
Especially when he was given that casual glance, he felt as if he were being stared at by a great general commanding thousands of troops, as if he were a disobedient deserter.
How strange!
"Thank you, Young Master Lu, for taking such good care of my sister and brother-in-law." Yun Chang returned the greeting with her arms clasped.
Chu Yan and Zhong Hui quickly returned the greeting, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for taking such good care of my master!"
"No, no, hehe, no!" Lu Qian quickly replied with a smile, told Li Mai to go out and urge the vegetables to be cooked, and then ran off.
He had originally intended to sit and have a drink with them, but now he dared not. He had realized that these three people were definitely not ordinary people.
He noticed that Chu Yan and Zhong Hui wore jade pendants with the shapes of a qilin and a phoenix on their waists.
Those are not things that ordinary people can wear. At least, the ones they wear can be paired with fish, birds, the Vermilion Bird, or the White Tiger, but they dare not pair them with the Qilin or the Phoenix.
As for that young master Yun, although he didn't wear a jade pendant on his waist, he did wear a jade belt.
Those who can afford to wear jade belts are either rich or noble.
Moreover, they were all from the wealthy and powerful in the capital.
Take his family for example. Although they are the richest family in Qingshi Town, they are only considered wealthy in larger towns like Yongzhou City. Naturally, they would not dare to wear jade belts.
They all wore embroidered belts, which could be adorned with beads, but not jade.
After Lu Qian left, he gave the manager and waiters some more instructions. The guests at Lotus Pavilion were important people and they must not be disturbed or have any accidents happen. The dishes should be served by quick and efficient people.
Inside the Lotus Pavilion, while waiting for the food, Zhuzhu became everyone's source of joy, making them happy.
Suddenly, a loud "whoosh" was heard, and everyone looked towards the window at the same time. They saw an ugly cat jump in from outside and pounce on Zhuzhu.
Yun Wang was closest to Zhu Zhu. When he saw the ugly cat heading at Zhu Zhu, he didn't think twice. He swayed his body to protect Zhu Zhu and raised his hand to strike the ugly wild cat.
Seeing that things were going to get bad, and that if they really clashed, it was hard to tell Yun Chang to stop, so Li Mai had to take matters into her own hands.
Zhou Quan was about to make a move when he saw Li Mai make a move, so he stopped.
Li Mai grabbed the Qilin even faster than Yun Wang, turned around, and hugged it in her arms. She looked at Yun Wang, who was staring at her in surprise, and said, "Sorry, big brother, this is Zhu Zhu's pet. You can't kill it."
Yun Chang: ......
Yun Chang turned around and looked at Zhuzhu with a puzzled expression, "Zhuzhu, do you like cats? Do you want your uncle to find you a nice-looking cat?"
Li Mai chuckled and looked down at the Qilin in her arms.
The little guy glared angrily at Yun Chang with his big eyes, seemingly angry that he said he was ugly, and even angrier that he wanted to find a prettier cat for Zhu Zhu.
How can that be? I'm supposed to stay with my little master and protect her all the time. What if she falls for a cute cat and doesn't want me to protect her anymore?
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Therefore, Qilin jumped out of Limai's arms and quickly landed in Zhuzhu's arms.
Zhu Zhu chuckled twice, then looked up at Yun Wang and said, "Thank you, Uncle, but I just like Xiao Liangpiao, so I'll keep it."
Upon hearing this, Qilin felt reassured and went to sleep.
I no longer want to care about the outside world.
However, when he closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them and looked at Chu Yan, his gaze falling on the jade pendant at his waist.
Qilin Jade Pendant?
There was a familiar scent inside!
Qilin narrowed his eyes, decided to go check it out that night, and then closed his eyes to continue sleeping.
Both Li Mai and Zhou Quan noticed this scene.
The two looked at each other but said nothing.
It seems that the Qilin sensed the presence of its kind within the Qilin jade pendant.
Zhuzhu carried Qilin over to sit next to Zhao Shi and went to eat with her grandmother.
Yun Chang glanced at Li Mai and gestured for her to sit down next to her.
Li Mai smiled, went over and sat down next to him, and reached out to feel his pulse.
After Li Mai finished taking her pulse, Yun Chang asked her, "Your skills have improved so much in this short time? You seem to be faster than me too."
Li Mai coughed lightly, "Actually, I suffered a minor internal injury before, and it only gradually healed after I came back!"
Yun Chang believed her and said, "Now that you have these skills, I'm relieved about your safety. I'm always worried about you being bullied."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan was taken aback, then sat up straight and looked at Yun Chang.
