An Cheng realized what was happening and immediately took out a silver note from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the change and gave him twelve taels of silver.
I received the bracelet.
An Cheng stared at the box in his hand, looked at it, and followed Xiahou Meng out of the shop.
We hadn't gone far.
Xiahou Meng suddenly turned around. Fortunately, An Cheng was some distance away from her, otherwise the two of them would have bumped into each other.
"An Cheng, how is it? Is it okay?"
"Um."
An Cheng nodded.
Xiahou Meng saw that he didn't say much, and assumed he was dissatisfied. She said, "Eighty-eight taels for these jade bracelets is not bad. They do have a few minor flaws, but they're still suitable as gifts."
An Cheng looked at Xiahou Meng and said, "I don't think it's expensive, I just find it a bit unbelievable. I didn't expect that a bracelet with such a high asking price could be so cheap."
Upon hearing this...
Xiahou Meng smiled and said, "You still don't buy enough. If you shop often and watch others shop, you'll know that the prices they ask for are inflated. As long as there's a profit, and a decent profit, the shopkeeper will sell. But don't try to negotiate prices randomly. When I first started shopping alone, I tried to negotiate prices randomly, and ended up reducing someone's jewelry, which cost over a hundred taels of silver, to only twenty or thirty taels. Then they kicked me out of the shop with a dark face..."
As they talked...
An Cheng didn't laugh, but she herself burst into laughter.
Xiahou Meng noticed that An Cheng wasn't laughing and asked, "Isn't what I said funny? Why aren't you laughing?"
"no."
An Cheng blushed. He didn't find it unfunny, but he was just too embarrassed to laugh.
Xiahou Meng teased him, "Why do you blush so easily? You're like a young girl."
"I'm not a young woman."
An Cheng's face turned even redder than before, but he walked to a place where there was no light, so Xiahou Meng did not see him.
Xiahou Meng then joked, "Then I'll call you little girl..."
"You silly girl..."
An Cheng was so angry at Xiahou Meng that he laughed, and he changed how he addressed her.
Xiahou Meng's face inexplicably flushed. Sensing her own discomfort, she turned and ran, saying, "An Cheng, I'm not going with you anymore. I'm going to buy some food."
He ran away after saying that.
An Cheng was worried about her, so he followed her.
Xiahou Meng bumped right into her as she came out with the snacks, and she quickly took a few steps back.
"I didn't mean to, are you alright?"
An Cheng wanted to get closer to take a look, but then realized it was inappropriate, so he could only stand still and ask.
"I'm fine, let's go."
Xiahou Meng rubbed her head, picked up the snacks, and walked out.
Along the way.
They didn't say much.
I walked to the main gate.
Xiahou Meng thought it wouldn't be right to eat alone, so he took out two pastries from the paper bag: "Here you go."
"I won't eat it, you eat it."
An Cheng did not answer.
Xiahou Meng saw that he really didn't intend to take it, so she didn't insist on giving it to him.
It was at this time that...
The door opened from the inside, and it was An Wanwan who opened it.
An Wanwan didn't know that Xiahou Meng had also gone out until she realized there were no lights on in her room.
They had no servants, and their parents went to bed early.
An Wanwan waited at the door for them to return, and opened the door when she heard any noise.
Upon seeing that it was An Wanwan, Xiahou Meng reached out and handed her some snacks.
"Thanks."
An Wanwan asked for one piece.
An Cheng, worried that An Wanwan might overthink things, explained, "Wanwan, you're not asleep yet. I didn't know what gift to buy for my master's wife, and I happened to run into Miss Xiahou who was going out to buy something, so I asked her to help me look."
An Wanwan blinked and said, "Big brother, I wasn't thinking anything, why are you explaining?"
