Mu Nuan ate the last bite of sesame seed cake:
"We'll go home after shopping this street."
The four of them walked forward slowly. The slanting sunlight shone into the lobby of a jewelry store, and the hairpins dotted with pearls shone with dazzling light.
Mu Nuan squinted her eyes and vaguely saw the appearance of the hairpin. She was stunned and unconsciously walked towards the shop with her short legs.
As soon as she entered the shop, the look of the hairpin caught her eye.
Mu Nuan subconsciously walked towards the hairpin. She stood on tiptoes and reached out to take the hairpin off the shelf.
Caressing her gently, as if treating a fragile treasure, a voice came from behind her:
"Little girl, this hairpin is precious to you, please give it to me."
After the words ended, someone came to Mu Nuan and wanted to take the hairpin.
Mu Nuan dodged aside and avoided the hand.
She tried hard to restrain the tears that were about to overflow in her eyes, raised her little head and asked:
"Uncle, how much does this hairpin cost?"
Looking at the simple clothes of Mu Nuan and the others, the shopkeeper said:
"This hairpin belonged to the sixth princess of the previous dynasty and was made by the master of the previous dynasty. It is worth two thousand taels."
Mu Nuan touched the hairpin and pursed her lips. It was clear that the price of Bailiangzhuo had increased twenty times. This shopkeeper was so cheating.
"Can't it be any less?"
Mu Nuan blinked her little phoenix eyes and asked with a cute little face.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "My boss ordered me not to miss a penny."
Mu Nuan looked at Lu Shiyan expectantly.
Lu Shiyan said: "I only have twenty taels of silver now."
Mu Nuan looked at Liang Heng.
With the expectation and sadness in Mu Nuan's eyes, Liang Heng couldn't bear to refuse:
"I only have one thousand taels."
All he had left.
At this time, a lady came in with someone, and her eyes lit up when she saw the hairpin in Mu Nuan's hand.
"Little girl, the hairpin in your hand is very beautiful. Do you want to sell it?"
When some families are in difficulty, they will bring their wives' jewelry to a jewelry store to pawn it, hence the lady's words.
The shopkeeper smiled and said:
"This hairpin belongs to our store. Since Mrs. Gao likes it, I will sell it to Mrs. Gao."
Mu Nuan said: "Shopkeeper, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. I am collecting money now, can't I wait any longer?"
Mrs. Gao signaled the maid to come forward and get the hairpin, but Mu Nuan dodged aside to prevent the maid from getting the hairpin.
The shopkeeper asked sharply:
"Little girl, are you trying to cause trouble?"
Worried about things getting serious, Lu Shiyan advised:
"Nuan Nuan, you don't need to wear a hairpin now. When you grow up, I will buy you one, okay?"
Mu Nuan pursed her lips and said nothing, with a very reluctant face. This hairpin belongs to her!
"Shopkeeper, I bought this hairpin. I will ask my family to go back and get the money now."
Mrs. Gao asked: "Shopkeeper, who are you selling this hairpin to?"
The shopkeeper said: "Of course it's you, madam. These hairpins total one thousand taels."
"Okay, shopkeeper, you are bullying me for being young and want to extort my money. We will meet with the officials."
Mu Nuan said angrily, this man really knows where the wind comes from!
Mrs. Gao threatened:
"Little girl, please hand over the hairpin quickly, or I will send you to the Yamen."
Mei'er doesn't like others bullying her girl:
"You think the Yamen is owned by your family, and if you want people to come in, just go in!"
"My brother-in-law is the county magistrate, do you think I can send you in?
Don't waste time and give me the hairpin quickly."
Mrs. Gao signaled the two maids to grab the hairpins. She still couldn't get what she wanted.
Mu Nuan glanced at the two maids coldly, then approached Liang Heng and said:
"Put down a thousand taels and let's go."
Liang Heng took out a thousand taels of silver notes and placed them on the counter, pulling Mu Nuan and running outside.
The shopkeeper ordered: "Come here and take down those four little thieves."
Five or six thugs ran out of the shop and blocked Mu Nuan's way.
Meier asked: "Girl, what should we do?"
Mu Nuan touched the small satchel, but Lu Shiyan held her hand down.
"There are too many people here, and innocent people may be hurt."
Mu Nuan glanced around and saw passers-by pointing at them.
Mrs. Gao said: "Look at how good-looking you are, but you commit theft. It seems that your parents didn't teach you well on weekdays, but today I want to teach you how to be a good person."
Someone come and tie them up to my wife."
The servants who followed Mrs. Gao out swarmed up and were bound to catch Mu Nuan and the others.
When the shopkeeper saw Mrs. Gao saying this, he seemed to have a backer and ordered the thugs:
"Didn't you hear what Mrs. Gao said?
Catch the person quickly.
If they resist, I will break their hands and feet and let everyone know the consequences of stealing from my shop."
Lu Shiyan stood in front of Mu Nuan and whispered:
"Nuan Nuan, you can take the opportunity to escape later and go find Aunt Nan to save us."
Liang Heng glanced at the thugs and servants, curled his lips, and asked the old god:
"Nuan Nuan, you said you would let these people apologize to you later and pay you back?"
Mu Nuan glanced at Liang Heng and smiled.
She pointed at Liang Heng, looked at the shopkeeper and Mrs. Gao on the steps and said:
"Mrs. Gao, shopkeeper, are you sure you want to break Prince Xi Liang's hands and feet?
If these two countries fight because of the severed hands and feet of the Prince of Xiliang, can you shoulder this responsibility?"
Liang Heng: "..."
Can you put it nicely? Is it possible for him to cut off his arms and legs?
Mrs. Gao said: "Little girl, if you say that this young man is a prince, who is the prince? Who among the people present will believe it?"
She had never heard that the Prince of Xi Liang came to Qinghe County, it must be this little girl's escape plan.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Gao's husband is Gao County Lieutenant. She doesn't know the news, and ordinary people like them naturally don't know.
Obviously, everyone thinks that Mu Nuan is lying.
Mu Nuan sighed softly:
"No one believes me when I tell the truth these days, so it's up to you. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you."
Seeing Mu Nuan swearing so confidently, the thugs and servants looked at the person above them.
The two parties were in a stalemate for a while, and then a pair of patrol officers arrived.
Mrs. Gao said: "Liu San, you came just in time, hurry up and arrest these four people."
Mu Nuan and the other four looked warily at the official officers headed by Liu San.
Liu San stepped forward, and Mu Nuan and the other three stepped back.
Liu San stepped forward again, and Mu Nuan and the others retreated.
Liu San touched his face. He shouldn't look scary! The little girl at home likes him very much. Why are the four children looking at him so defensively?
Liu San tried his best to stay kind, "Don't be afraid, little girl, I'm not here to arrest you."
Hahaha! There is no way to let them fall into the trap! Mu Nuan and the others still looked at him defensively.
Mrs. Gao looked displeased at Liu San's behavior:
"Liu San, what are you doing? Don't you want to do it anymore? Why don't you hurry up and arrest these four people?"
Only then did Liu San realize that he had put the cart before the horse and quickly ordered:
"Hurry up and arrest them. Do you also want to have a taste of the board?"
The boarding incident on New Year's Eve still causes him pain and discomfort.
Because he arrested someone by mistake and failed to restrain his subordinates, his good job was lost.
He was assigned to patrol the streets on a very cold day, which was really hard!
