Even He Thinks Lu Cijian Is Blind
When everyone heard it was so cheap, they took out their money to buy them.
Zhao Xiaonian did not forget to remind them, “My Peach Blossom Bracelet only brings luck to those with fate. If there isn’t enough fate, the effect will naturally not be good, so don’t come looking for Master for trouble.
Everyone will have to bear the consequences of karma.”
Jiang Yimian looked at Zhao Xiaonian, who was surrounded by the crowd, and shook her head helplessly.
He hasn’t been seen for a few months, and this kid’s skills of swindling and cheating have improved!
He even chose a good location for his stall.
Although the people on this street are not as rich and noble as those on Chang Yue Street, they are not bad either. They wouldn’t care about spending ten Wen on a bracelet, just for peace of mind.
In this way, even if the bracelet really has no effect, it is estimated that no one will come looking for him.
If it has an effect, they might all be as grateful to him as that Miss Sun.
After attending to everyone, Zhao Xiaonian only looked down at today’s harvest, smiling so much that his eyes disappeared. He didn’t notice the familiar figure not far away at all, and hummed a little tune while counting the copper coins.
He really made a lot of money today because of this Peach Blossom Bracelet. Sure enough, Song Er was right, even if fortune-telling is cheap, not many people would come.
Selling bracelets is more profitable.
Now, his food, clothing, and expenses at the Jiang Family are all taken care of by Sister Yimian’s family. He is really embarrassed, so it’s good to be able to come out and earn some money.
Even if it’s just to buy some snacks for the two children, so they don’t feel like they’re eating for free at the Jiang Family.
Just as he was happy, he felt the light in front of his stall suddenly dim. He looked up and met two scrutinizing gazes.
Two Young Girls were sitting in the Carriage, looking at the Peach Blossom Bracelet on his table.
Xue Lingyu just glanced at it lightly, and was about to tell the Carriage Driver to leave when the Maid beside her said with a smile, “Young Lady, why don’t we try this Peach Blossom Bracelet too? I heard it’s quite accurate.
Didn’t Madam say that your marriage with Duke Anguo’s Heir seems to be settled?”
A triumphant smile rose on the corner of Xue Lingyu’s lips, but she still pretended to be shy and said, “That’s not true, don’t talk nonsense, or people will laugh at us.”
Her Mother only told her that Duke Anguo’s side seemed to have loosened their stance, and mentioned the marriage between the two families to her Father. It was very likely that she would be able to marry into the Marquis Residence soon.
This was the only good thing that had happened to her in the past few months.
Because of the dispute with Bao Xiang Shop a few days ago, her Father had confined her. She had finally been able to go out to a banquet, but people always mentioned it, and ridiculed her in subtle ways, saying that she was not as good as Eldest Miss Xue.
She couldn’t refute it. Now that her marriage with Lu Cijian is approaching, let’s see who dares to ridicule her.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, the Maid beside her said, “Young Lady, this Servant heard that this Peach Blossom Bracelet can bring lovers together and make estranged Husband and Wife reconcile.
Although I don’t know if it’s true, it’s still a good omen. This Servant will buy one for you.”
Originally, the atmosphere in the Mansion was quite good. Master and Madam’s relationship could not be said to be good, but it could be described as respectful. However, since Madam and Young Lady returned from Jincheng Prefecture, and were disliked by the Princess.
The atmosphere in the Mansion became a little strange.
Master is often not in the Mansion, and when he occasionally returns, he has a cold face and looks to be in a bad mood, making them, the Servants, tremble with fear.
Now that there is finally a happy event in the Mansion, they are naturally happy too.
Today, they saw a few more smiles on Master’s face.
Xue Lingyu looked at the things on the table, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but thinking of Lu Cijian, she nodded and said with a smile, “This Young Lady is in a good mood today, so I’ll take one.”
When she learned that Lu Cijian was returning to the Capital, she felt a faint sense of expectation in her heart, hoping to marry him as soon as possible.
Originally, the person she admired was Chu Prince, but she didn’t have many opportunities to come into contact with Chu Prince. In addition, she heard about Lu Cijian’s affairs in the Censorate and was quite satisfied with him.
Especially now, Lu Cijian has returned from Qingnan and will be promoted soon. He is so successful at such a young age, and his future is limitless. Although marrying him is not as good as becoming a Princess, it won’t be much worse.
That day, the Censorate’s team returned to the Capital, and she took a distant glance at Lu Cijian.
The Youth rode on a tall horse, looking coldly at the people around him. However, when he looked in one direction, the corners of his lips curved up, and suddenly, his already handsome face became even more dazzling.
When she thought of the scene that day, she felt her heart beating faster.
She was quite satisfied to be able to marry Lu Cijian.
That day, she saw many Noble Ladies in the Capital secretly looking at that person. If Lu Cijian didn’t have an Engagement with her, those people’s eyes would be even more blatant.
The Palace Banquet is in a few days. That day is the day to reward the Officials who returned from Qingnan for their merits. She can take the opportunity to say a few words to Lu Cijian.
She thought that he should also be willing.
Although she is not as good as her Elder Sister in becoming the number one Talented Woman in the Capital, she is also a Daughter of a Prominent Family, and her Appearance is not bad. He will definitely like her when he sees her.
Zhao Xiaonian listened to the conversation between the Two People, sized up Xue Lingyu, and muttered in a low voice, “Brother Cijian actually has a fiancée, but compared to Sister Yimian, she’s only so-so.”
In terms of compatibility, no one can compare to Brother Cijian and Sister Yimian. He finds them pleasing to the eye just standing together.
Moreover, they are both so amazing.
If Brother Cijian abandons Sister Yimian to marry this woman in front of him, he would think that Brother Cijian is blind.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a dissatisfied voice, “Hey, Old Man, bring the bracelet here, my Young Lady wants it.”
As she spoke, the Maid threw a handful of Copper Coins out of the Carriage, completely ignoring the Copper Coins scattered on the ground, and looked at Zhao Xiaonian condescendingly.
Zhao Xiaonian glanced at her and said unhappily, “I’m not selling anymore, I don’t have any left today.”
As he spoke, he put away the bracelet on the table, stuffed the Copper Coins he had just counted into his arms, and put away the low stool as well.
What kind of person is this? He is doing Business, not here to be humiliated. She actually threw the money on the ground for him to pick up. He would be crazy to sell to this kind of person.
Xue Lingyu frowned.
The Maid then angrily said, “What are you doing? Quickly bring the bracelet here. Do you know who my Young Lady is?”
Zhao Xiaonian didn’t even look at her, and continued to pack up the table while humming a little tune.
Seeing that she was being ignored, the Maid cursed, “You damned Old Man, what do you mean? You took the Copper Coins but won’t give the item? If you don’t hand over the bracelet today, don’t even think about leaving.
Old Chen, arrest him for me.”
After she spoke, the Carriage Driver hurriedly got out of the Carriage and kicked over the stall.
Instantly, the Pebbles and fortune sticks placed in the table were all scattered on the ground.
As if that Carriage Driver wasn’t satisfied, he stepped on the fortune sticks on the ground, and said unhappily, “Are you deaf? Why don’t you quickly bring the bracelet here.”
Zhao Xiaonian was so angry that he cursed, “What are you doing? I already said I don’t have any left. Are you trying to force a sale? Get out of here!”
That Maid then said unhappily, “I clearly saw that there is still one bracelet left. Why won’t you sell it to us? Quickly bring it here.
It is your honor to be noticed by my Young Lady. Don’t be ungrateful.
A fortune-teller with a stall is actually standing up to our Minister’s Residence.”
Although Xue Lingyu didn’t speak, she didn’t stop the Maid’s actions, clearly agreeing with doing so.
