Chapter Eleven Unexpected
"Da Lang, no need! Just buy this one! I like this one quite a lot."
After Qin Yu said he wanted the jade hairpin, Shangguan Wan casually grabbed a wooden hairpin on the stall and expressed that she wanted that hairpin.
The happy look on the seller's face instantly froze. The hairpin in Shangguan Wan's hand only cost a few tens of pennies, and there was no profit at all.
Qin Yu glanced at the hairpin on Shangguan Wan's hand. According to his analysis, it was not a good wood carving, and in terms of craftsmanship, it was inferior to the jade hairpin on his hand!
He seemed to remember the scene where Shangguan Wan was bargaining with the water stall owner just now. The corners of his mouth raised slightly and he said with a smile: "I still think this hosta looks better! It matches you quite well!"
"This young master is absolutely right! Since ancient times, swords have been paired with heroes, and jade hairpins have been given to beauties. If my wife wears this jade hairpin, it will be really... very beautiful!"
The salesman got stuck on the last adjective and could only use a popular word instead.
Shangguan Wan ignored the salesman's statement, but gently pulled Qin Yu around and whispered: "Dalang, this hairpin is too expensive! Why don't you just buy the hairpin in my hand?"
"Why are you so obsessed with money? It's just a hairpin. It's not something expensive. Just buy it! Besides, there probably won't be anything more valuable than this hairpin in his stall! What a big deal.
When I get home, I’ll give you the money!”
Qin Yu laughed and said, Shangguan Wan's current calculating appearance makes it hard for people to tell that she lives in the General's Mansion.
Shangguan Wan saw that Qin Yu had made up his mind to buy the hosta. At that moment, he felt that there was nothing to persuade him, so he just said: "That's no need! Da Lang, you should keep the money to buy books!"
Qin Yu was a little touched and wanted to laugh a little. The books on the wall in his room were enough for him to read for a long time!
Buy a book?
It is absolutely impossible to buy books!
"Salesman, please..."
As soon as Qin Yu was about to open his mouth to pay, Shangguan Wan grabbed him and snatched the hosta from his hand. After looking at it carefully, Shangguan Wan said to the salesman: "Salesman, I see that this hosta of yours is nothing."
What a good product! Look here, there is a knife mark! This jade is not orthodox white jade!"
The salesman glanced at Qin Yu and saw that Qin Yu showed no sign of taking care of it. He knew that the hosta wanted to be sold and he had to convince the lady in front of him.
Qin Yu stood nearby and listened to Shangguan Wan and the salesman bargaining over the price. It was quite interesting.
It’s real life to worry about every detail of daily necessities and daily necessities!
In the end, Shangguan Wan bought the jade hairpin for one to two eight cents. Seeing her feel a little painful when she took out a piece of silver, Qin Yu felt even more interesting!
After cutting off two coins, do you still feel that you are at a loss?
"Shall I put it on for you?"
Seeing the pain in Shangguan Wan's body, Qin Yu began to divert her attention. He was afraid that Shangguan Wan would be distressed on the way back.
Shangguan Wan's entire face turned red instantly, and she let out a weak 'hmm'.
Qin Yu inserted the jade hairpin into Shangguan Wan's shiny black hair. The head and tip of the hairpin were exposed, which contrasted with Shangguan Wan's fair and tender skin.
"Dalang, do you look good?" Shangguan Wan asked softly after Qin Yu put on the hairpin for her.
"It's beautiful! Of course, the main thing is that the person is beautiful, and these external objects are just the icing on the cake!"
How could an ancient woman like Shangguan Wan hear such oily words? The blush that had subsided immediately filled the air.
Even my neck is red!
Shangguan Wan's appearance made Qin Yu feel like he was teasing a good woman, and he could only sigh in his heart, how shy women were in ancient times!
"Ignore you! You know how to bully others!" Seeing Qin Yu staring at her intently, Shangguan Wan stomped her feet angrily, turned around and ran away.
Qin Yu looked at Shangguan Wan who was running away, and stood there shaking his head and laughing softly.
Shangguan Wan ignored Qin Yu and only waited for the shyness in her heart to get over before she ignored him. She also pulled out the hosta on her head and carefully wrapped it up with a handkerchief.
"Wan'er, isn't it good to wear this hairpin? Why do you need to take it off?"
Seeing Shangguan Wan's behavior, Qin Yu asked curiously.
"This hosta costs one or two eight cents! It's very expensive! You have to keep it."
Qin Yu suddenly became a little speechless. In the memory of his predecessor, he didn't see Shangguan Wan being so obsessed with money, right?
"This kind of stuff shouldn't be considered a good thing in our house, right? Why are you so precious?"
Shangguan Wan gave Qin Yu a flirtatious roll of the eyes and said, "Being in the house was really not a good thing before, but now it's been half a year since I've been paid monthly money, and..."
As a girl who has not yet left the government, she cannot say the next words.
"You haven't received any monthly payment in half a year?" Qin Yu didn't pay attention to what Shangguan Wan said next, but focused all his attention on what Shangguan Wan said before.
In the homes of powerful people, before the children of the family reach the crown, they will be given monthly money, which is equivalent to their pocket money. Even if they are crowned, if they can't find a job to support the family, the family will still pay the monthly money.
But by then, it would be a bit embarrassing to take the monthly payment.
The same is naturally true in Qin Yu's family. Shangguan Wan's status is a bit special. She has been responsible for taking care of Qin Yu's daily life since she was a child. However, she is not paid like a servant, but like Qin Yu, she gets a monthly salary.
Now Qin Yu heard that Shangguan Wan had lost his monthly money half a year ago. He felt very surprised and even a little angry!
The person in charge of taking care of the house is Qin Hu. His damn father died in the war within a year, but she stopped Shangguan Wan's monthly payment for half a year?
"Da Lang, you are wrong! It wasn't Er Niang who did it. It's because the family really doesn't have any money. I don't need to spend any money anyway, so I agreed to Er Niang's decision."
Shangguan Wan saw that Qin Yu's expression was wrong, and seemed to have thought of something, so he immediately explained.
Shangguan Wan's words made Qin Yu feel even more wrong.
He thought there were quite a lot of servants in the family. He didn't dare to say how luxurious the meals were these days, but the meat and variety of the three meals a day were not too repetitive.
"After all, the price of my meals these days is not that small! Is my family still short of your monthly payment?"
"That's because the old lady feels sorry for you, otherwise how could it be so rich?"
Shangguan Wan's answer made Qin Yu smile bitterly.
It turns out that it was a sick meal!
"Even so, you don't feel bad about this small amount of money, right? I remember that your monthly payment is ten taels of silver. The silver you have accumulated should not be considered a small amount, right?"
In his memory, Shangguan Wan entered the mansion when he was six years old. The money accumulated over the years was enough to make her a rich little woman!
"Isn't this Da Lang? You were unconscious some time ago. I took the money to ask the doctor." At this point, Shangguan Wan's eye circles turned slightly red. Fortunately, Qin Yu woke up.
Qin Yu took a deep breath, feeling a little depressed.
I'm afraid that all the money Shangguan Wan saved was spent on hiring a doctor for him, otherwise he wouldn't have been coerced by his second mother!
So much so that now I have to worry about drinking a bowl of water, and even buying a hosta is too expensive!
What a silly girl!
Qin Yu's eyes were full of tenderness towards Shangguan Wan!
Shangguan Wan couldn't stand Qin Yu's gaze, so she glanced at him secretly and hurried forward.
"What about my money?" Qin Yu asked after catching up with Shangguan Wan. He also planned to give Shangguan Wan more money after returning, so as to save her heartache when buying anything.
He didn't bring his wallet when he went out today. It was also influenced by the TV series he watched. Do you need to bring your own money when you go out?
Doesn’t the money belong to the servants and followers?
"Dalang, where do you have any money? For monthly money, you either buy books or entertain friends, so there is no money left!"
Qin Yu had a bitter smile on his face!
His Yiyue Guang clan still wants to buy a hosta for Shangguan Wan?
Is it okay for people to buy it with their own money?
Suddenly, I feel like I’m eating too much!
"Then let's return the hosta! When the monthly payment is paid, I will buy you a good hairpin!"
"No! I quite like it!" Shangguan Wan said in a serious tone with her hands on her chest.
All right!
What do you say, that’s right!
