Chapter 5 Mood

Relying on the memory of Qin Shuang after she came to Tianqin Town, she walked to the door of a refining shop. Shopkeeper Zhang Jiaxun saw Qin Shuang standing in front of him, with a smile on his face and said:

"It's Your Royal Highness, is there anything I can do for you?"

The words were respectful, but there was no respect in the expression.

Qin Shuang bowed to Zhang Jiaxun and said, "Boss Zhang, I'm here to buy something."

"Oh?" Zhang Jiaxun immediately showed a friendly smile on his face and said, "Go in and pick it yourself, and bring it over after you pick it up, and the little old man will settle the score for you."

"Thanks."

"Go!" Zhang Jiaxun waved his hands with a smile. But he didn't even lift his butt.

Qin Shuang walked into the shop and searched around. After a while, she came to Zhang Jiaxun with three carving knives and said:

"Boss Zhang, how much are these three carving knives?"

Zhang Jiaxun glanced at the three carving knives, his eyes showed a trace of surprise, but he still said with a smile:

"The carving knife on the left is one hundred taels of silver, the carving knife on the right is twenty taels of silver, and the carving knife in the middle is five taels of silver."

"oh!"

Qin Shuang nodded, and walked into the store again with a carving knife. This time, Zhang Jiaxun did not sit on a chair to watch the scene on the street, but watched Qin Shuang's back, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Shuang came to Zhang Jiaxun with three kinds of jade, and asked softly, "Boss Zhang, how much are these three kinds of jade?"

Zhang Jiaxun had already seen Qin Shuang's choice, and immediately said: "These three kinds of jade are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Such a piece of high-quality jade costs three hundred taels of silver, and the middle one costs eighty taels of silver. This inferior one also needs thirty-five taels."

Qin Shuang pointed to the thirty-five taels of jade and asked: "Boss Zhang, can this piece of jade be cut into more than a dozen pieces?"

Zhang Jiaxun looked at the piece of jade and said, "Well, fifteen pieces can be cut out."

"How much does it cost?" Qin Shuang asked a little nervously, she really didn't have much money.

Zhang Jiaxun took a look at Qin Shuang, and felt that there was a clear difference in temperament from the Seventh Princess he had seen before, so he smiled and said:

"Forget it, the little old man will cut it for you for free."

Qin Shuang said happily: "Thank you, Boss Zhang."

While speaking, he took out forty taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Jiaxun, "Boss Zhang, this is forty taels of silver. I still want the carving knife."

"Well, Seventh Princess, you wait here, and the little old man will cut the jade for you."

After saying that, he took the piece of jade and walked into the inner room. Qin Shuang returned the two pieces of jade to the counter, then took the carving knife of five taels of silver in her hand, sat on the chair by the door and waited for Zhang Jiaxun.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Jiaxun came out from the room, handed Qin Shuang a cloth bag and said, "It's all here, take a look."

Qin Shuang opened the cloth bag and saw that there were fifteen pieces of jade neatly placed in the cloth bag. She stood up happily from the chair and smiled at Zhang Jiaxun:

"Thank you, Boss Zhang, I'm leaving!"

"Welcome again!" Zhang Jiaxun happily sat down on the chair, and waved to Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang also put the carving knife into the cloth bag, then put the cloth bag into her arms, and walked towards her home excitedly.

Just when I ran back to the gate of the mansion, I saw a young man standing in front of the mansion, about fifteen years old, seeing Qin Shuang coming in, he hurriedly ran over with a smile on his face, and called out:

"Princess, you are back!"

This boy was born a head taller than Qin Shuang, with a small handsome face, wearing the clothes of a book boy, Qin Shuang thought about it quickly, and then remembered that the boy in front of him was the book boy of the third son of the Li family in Tianqin Town.

The third son of the Li family is a person with poor cultivation qualifications,

So I gave up martial arts very early. The boy in front of him is Li Wenhai's bookboy Li Yan.

After Qin Shuang came to Tianqin Town, Li Yan was one of the few partners who had goodwill towards Qin Shuang. Li Yan was two years older than Qin Shuang and took good care of Qin Shuang. Knowing that Qin Shuang is greedy, she often saves some delicious food from her own mouth and secretly gives it to Qin Shuang.

At this time, Li Yan saw that Qin Shuang didn't see him like before, so he came up to call himself Xiaoyanzi affectionately, with a smile on his face, and he was taken aback. However, he quickly took out an oily paper bag from his bosom, ran to Qin Shuang in three steps at a time, opened the paper bag, revealing a golden chicken leg, and said like offering a treasure:

"Princess, see what I brought you?"

Qin Shuang looked at the big chicken leg and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but after all, she was not the thirteen-year-old Qin Shuang before, so she said embarrassedly:

"Xiaoyan... son, you should keep it for yourself!"

Li Yan was stunned again, before he secretly gave Qin Shuang something to eat, but Qin Shuang had never been polite. Every time, he snatched things from his own hands like a robbery and devoured them hungrily. This time...how did she give in?

However, when he saw Qin Shuang's eyes staring closely at the big chicken leg in his hand, he suddenly felt puzzled. The princess is just embarrassed! Then he proudly pushed the big chicken leg towards Qin Shuang's body and said:

"I'll eat it for you, and you will eat it. Xiaoyanzi will give it to you later."

"Oh well!"

Qin Shuang happily took the big chicken leg, took Li Yan into the mansion, and came to a stone bench under a tree, first put the chicken leg in a paper bag, and then put it on the stone bench. Come to the well, pick up the bucket, fill a bucket of water from the well, pour it into a wooden basin, wash your hands clean, and then dry your hands. He returned to the stool and sat down, took the chicken legs out of the paper bag, tore the chicken gently with his hands and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

Li Yan looked at Qin Shuang in a daze, and a voice in his heart shouted: "The seventh princess has changed!"

Qin Shuang ate half of the chicken leg gracefully, and wrapped the other half in a paper bag again. Li Yan woke up from his daze, and asked puzzledly:

"Princess, why don't you eat!"

Qin Shuang smiled gently and said, "Leave it to the nanny."

Li Yan was stunned, and said in a somewhat embarrassing manner: "Princess, I will take more things next time."

Qin Shuang shook her head lightly and said, "Xiao Yanzi, no need."

"Princess, I..."

Before Li Yan finished speaking, Qin Ying walked in from the outside, saw Li Yan and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan is here!"

Li Yan's face turned red, and he said, "Hi Aunt Qin, I'll come and see the princess."

"Well, let's play!" As she spoke, Qin Ying walked into the house, Qin Shuang clearly saw the tired smile on the nanny's face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Li Yan hurriedly said with some guilty conscience: "Aunt Qin, I should go back, the third young master might be calling me!"

Qin Ying didn't look back, but just waved her hand lightly. Li Yan waited until Qin Ying entered the room before softly saying to Qin Shuang:

"Princess, I'm leaving first, and I'll come see you again in a few days."

"I send you!"

After sending Li Yan out of the door, Qin Shuang looked at Li Yan's disappearing figure in the night, feeling a sense of sadness in her heart...

"Does my Qin Shuang have to rely on other people's charity to live?"
