Wishful Things

"Return to Miss Xu, that's right."

The female shopkeeper was very grateful to this rich and generous girl, and her tone of reply became more polite: "She has been a jade carver in the store for eight or nine years. At first, I couldn't believe that she could do it Come up with something like this."

In Xu Mingyi's mind, a vague appearance of a young woman in her mid-twenties appeared.

Because she often came to Shangyu Pavilion in her previous life, she also had some impressions of this jade carver.

It is rare for a woman to be a jade carver, not to mention that the other party is young and skilled, and is quite famous in Beijing. Many female relatives will call her to handle jewelry. And because I haven't married yet, I will occasionally be talked about after dinner.

Such a person has seen countless good things, how could he think of stealing a ruby ​​alone?

But there are no absolutes in the world, and she doesn't know what kind of person the other party is.

Xu Mingyi didn't think about it any more, and followed Princess Yufeng out of the elegant room accompanied by the female shopkeeper.

However, as soon as he got down to the corner of the stairs, he faintly heard a few familiar girl's voices coming into his ears.

"...This bracelet was obviously chosen by us first, Miss Xia can't be so unreasonable, can she?"

"The one you chose? Have you paid the money? Tell the shopkeeper to come over, so I can ask who the bracelet is going to be sold to—"

"you……"

Xu Mingyi stopped subconsciously, and looked through the gap between the two screens, only to see Cui Yunqing shaking his head slightly and saying: "Sister, stop talking."

Cui Yunwei, whose face was flushed red with anger, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "That's something we've been looking at for a long time, how could she just snatch it away!"

That day they came to hang out with their mother, and the mother took a fancy to this bracelet, but the price of the bracelet was one hundred and twenty taels-although the price was far from sky-high, but the mother had always been frugal, and the family gift was even from the mother. The dowry is still in the hands of the grandmother...so for the mother, one hundred and twenty taels can be used in other places, but it cannot be used to buy a bracelet at will.

But their sisters kept it in their hearts.

It's just that I haven't saved enough money at that time, and I just took the monthly silver to make up enough money this month, so I hurried over here.

But who would have thought that Xia Xi would get in her way!

In the lobby, the clerk looked embarrassed, so he could only invite his shopkeeper.

He knew very well that the two girls from Yong'anbo's mansion had their eyes on this bracelet first, but Miss Xia was the daughter of Mr. Xia Ge, so they really couldn't afford to offend them.

Looking at Beijing, the only one who has dared to find Miss Xia unhappy all these years is Miss Xu from Zhen Guogong's Mansion!

If the girl in Yong'an Bofu was replaced by Miss Xu today, then their shop would have to be demolished...

The waiter muttered in his heart, and the next moment he saw Xu Mingyi standing beside his shopkeeper at the corner of the stairs.

"The villain has met the princess, met Xu, Miss Xu..."

The clerk stammered for a moment before saying, "Shopkeeper, Miss Xia Si wants to see you..."

The female shopkeeper had only half-heard and half-guessed, and knew the possibility, so she couldn't help looking at Xu Mingyi in deliberation.

Yong'an Bo's Mansion is the in-laws of Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion.

"Don't be in trouble for the shopkeeper, you can do whatever you want." Xu Mingyi said calmly.

The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Xu meant that she didn't plan to stand up for the two girls in Yong'anbo Manor, so it's really a blessing.

The female shopkeeper walked over and said yes.

Cui Yun smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a bracelet. Since Miss Xia likes it so much, then we just let it out."

As he said that, he was about to pull Cui Yunwei away.

Xia Xi reacted for a moment, then stopped him with a sullen face.

What is "letting go", does she need them to let her go!

This little slut seems to give in, but she is actually ridiculing her every word!

"Is Miss Xia still doing anything?" Cui Yunqing looked neither humble nor overbearing.

Their family is not as good as Xia Xi's. Although she won't argue with others like the eldest sister, it doesn't mean she can let others bully her.

Xia Xi opened her mouth to speak, but found that she couldn't pick out the other party's fault at all. If she carefully studied the meaning of the other party's words, she would appear to be narrow-minded!

She has an irritable temperament, and seeing Cui Yunqing's desolation and desolation at this time, which was somewhat similar to the Xu Mingyi she saw in the palace that day, her expression became even more ugly.

"You can leave, but you still need to apologize to me first—" Xia Xi said to Cui Yunwei.

"You want the villain to sue first!"

Cui Yunwei was very annoyed.

They gave in again and again, but the other party was so aggressive, obviously not because of the bracelet at all, but deliberately targeting them!

"Xi'er, don't be rude."

At this time, a man's light reprimand came.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

I saw a man wearing a stone blue robe, about twenty-four or five years old, walking in accompanied by a young woman.

The man looks elegant and handsome, and the woman is also beautiful. Her abdomen is bulging, showing that she is pregnant. The man is holding one arm lightly, and the servant girl is at her side.

Xia Xi was stunned, and looked at the man with a guilty conscience: "Second brother, second sister-in-law...why are you here?"

This is her biological elder brother, Xia Han, who is valued more by her father than her eldest brother, and two years ago, she won Tanhualang and was admitted to the Imperial Academy.

But this second brother is good everywhere, but he likes to restrain her the most on weekdays, and he has to talk to her every now and then. At home, besides her father, she is most afraid of seeing her second brother.

"If I don't come, I don't know how you will mess around."

Xia Han looked at the sisters of the Cui family, and apologized: "Sister She has always been willful, and I ask the two girls to forgive me for being rude."

When such a reasonable person came suddenly, the Cui family sisters were a little overwhelmed for a while.

In the end, it was Cui Yunqing who said: "Young Master Xia is serious. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."

Xia Han nodded slightly.

Seeing the two leave, Xia Xi clutched the handkerchief unwillingly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Second brother, you didn't even ask what's going on!"

"Do you still need to ask?" Xia Han frowned slightly.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood when he frowned, Xia Xi didn't dare to look into his eyes, she pouted and lowered her head.

"Okay." The second youngest mistress of the Xia family, Mrs. Lu, came forward with a smile and took her hand, smoothing things over and saying, "If there is anything to do, we'll talk about it when we get home. Let's accompany my sister-in-law to see if she can sleep well..."

Only then did Xia Xi's expression relax.

Over there, Xu Mingyi and Princess Yufeng came out from behind the screen.

She didn't show up just now, not because she wanted to see the two cousins ​​being embarrassed -- but if she appeared rashly, it would make a small matter worse. She is not afraid of Xia Xi's troubles, nor is she afraid of being hated again, but in this way, Xia Xi will definitely anger the Cui family sisters even more in the future. She is present today, but there is no guarantee that she will be there every time in the future.

Of course, if Xia Xi really insisted, she wouldn't just watch.

Fortunately, the Xia family still has a sensible Xia Han.

At this time, she came out like Princess Yufeng, so Xia Xi naturally took notice of her.

Xia Xi frowned secretly.

Thank you Nuo Qinghan for your reward.
