Nishishi is a famous snack street in Kyoto, and from the street to the end of the street, people from the north and south gather the most exquisite north-south □□ in Dai-in. As a place where powerful and wealthy businessmen are concentrated, there is no shortage of people from all over the world who want to squeeze into Kyoto, and these people not only bring local culture and customs to Kyoto, but also bring the most unforgettable hometown food from all over the world. Agile businessmen immediately seized these lucrative opportunities, and delicacies from all over the world began to appear in Kyoto's markets, with the highest concentration of delicacies in the Nishi Market.

Xu Zhuqing took Xu Yaqin and Shen Junqian to visit the street of Xishi. Although there are many famous street markets in Kyoto, it is estimated that the only one suitable for their group is Nishiichi.

Although the West Market is famous for snacks from all over the world, it is not only snacks, there are also many small vendors selling all kinds of gadgets, such as masks, kites, sachets, etc., and there are also some novel and small shops on both sides of the street, which are very suitable for little girls like Xu Yaqin and Shen Junqian.

At this time, Shen Junqian and a few people stood at the door of a peach wood jewelry store, watching the wood carver at the door, carving a simple and generous wooden hairpin little by little. A peach wood that could only barely see the appearance of a hairpin at first, under the polishing and carving of the master, presents a feeling of rebirth like a phoenix nirvana.

Shen Junqian and the others were amazed, and they didn't bother the master, just stood quietly at the door and watched. After a while, a floating cloud hairpin appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

After the shape of the hairpin is carved, the wood carver begins the extremely delicate sandpaper polishing process, and the ordinary-looking wooden hairpin is hard to polish out a trace of simple and atmospheric charm. Listening to the exclamations and cheers of Shen Junqian and a few people, the wood carver raised the hairpin with a smile and said to Shen Junqian and a few people: "It is rare that the old man's craft can enter the eyes of a few young ladies and gentlemen, and today is also fateful. ”

Shen Junqian is very fond of this hand-carved jewelry, hearing him say this, with an excited red face and bright eyes, a little embarrassed to ask: "Really? Great, stain clothes, quickly, quickly give money." ”

Shen Junqian took the hairpin from the wood carver's hand, and touched it while looking at it carefully, I don't know how to do it, the hairpin is polished everywhere and is extremely round, without any prickly places. was looking at it, and suddenly felt that the sleeve of his shirt was pulled by someone, and his eyes looked at the hand that pulled him, and what he saw was a rare and somewhat difficult stain on his face, and Shen Junqian looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Dipping clothes cautiously approached Shen Junqian, and secretly said in her ear: "Girl, we have run out of money." ”

Shen Junqian was surprised, "Ah?!", and suddenly the eyes of Xu Zhuqing's brother and sister looked at the same time, and when they heard Shen Junqian's exclamation, their faces became a little anxious, and they couldn't wait to reach out to cover their girl's mouth when they saw her.

"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, Shen Junqian reacted quickly, and immediately smiled with Xu Zhuqing's brothers and sisters, "The more I look at this hairpin, the more I like it, this hairpin is really good, it's so good." Hey. ”

Seeing that Xu Zhuqing's brother and sister didn't suspect anything, they hurriedly leaned aside with their clothes and asked, "I remember that I always carried a purse with me before, and there would be a lot of money in it?"

"The girl forgot jì, when she went out, you thought that the purse was too little girl, and your current outfit didn't match, so I took it off, and I and Xingyu brought some silver out, but not much, I used some in the teahouse, and you just walked all the way to the girl, and you bought something all the way......" Zhanyi and Shen Junqian looked at each other in pairs, Shen Junqian saw that he had already taken a bunch of things in his hands, and looked at Xingyu who was standing on the side with his hands empty, and he didn't forget to stuff things into his mouth while holding things.

Under the gaze of the faint clothes, Shen Junqian suddenly had a fever and was a little embarrassed, he hadn't been shopping for a long time, and now he was used to making clothes to reach out for food to open his mouth.

Shen Junqian silently glanced at all kinds of delicious and fun things in the hands of Dip Yi and Xingyu, and was a little reluctant to hold the hairpin in front of him for a while, and finally made up his mind to send it forward with both hands, just as he was talking, suddenly his hands were empty, and he heard a voice behind him.

"This hairpin is good, how to sell it, I want it!"

Shen Junqian looked back, a girl wearing a moon-white large-sleeved shirt and a long skirt was holding the floating cloud hairpin in her hand and looking down, followed by a few people, the girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, with a double bun on her head and a few braids hanging down on each side. Shen Junqian was about to sigh that she was a jade person, but she didn't want the girl to raise her head and sweep Shen Junqian's face, directly facing the wood carver, and continued to ask, "How are hairpins sold?"

It's a pity that this good figure. Shen Junqian immediately had such a sentence in her heart, this girl didn't look up and looked at it from afar, she felt that she was a beautiful woman, but unfortunately the moment she looked up, she saw that her surprisingly plain facial features were so plain that people couldn't remember them. If you really say that the facial features are not good, it is not, just looking at the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth, it is not bad, I don't know why the combination in one place seems ordinary, and even the seven-point temperament has been forced down to three points.

"Thanks to this girl, I like the little old man to make this hairpin, I could have gotten the girl's blue eyes is the old man is also the blessing of this hairpin, but the old man I have just promised to sell this hairpin to this little girl, and I hope to forgive me, if the girl does not dislike, you can go to the small shop to see, there are a lot of beautifully made hairpins, wooden combs and other jewelry, the girl is interested in picking and choosing. "Without Shen Junqian speaking, this old man opened his mouth first to say that the hairpin has a master, but he is quite honest.

However, Shen Junqian was still worried about going out today, which saved trouble, and quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay, if this sister likes it, let it be given to this sister, and I'll come back next time." ”

"I don't need you to let me," I didn't want the girl to refuse Shen Junqian's kindness in an indifferent tone, and she didn't care about Shen Junqian's embarrassment and asked the master instead, "How much money she pays, I will give double it, and Liu Er will give money." ”

"Yes. From behind the girl came a maid of her age, and went up to pay the old man who carved wood.

Shen Junqian glanced at the maid on the side, and said "Huh" in her heart, this maid is a few points more beautiful than the young lady.

The old man who did wood carving did have some credit, so he didn't take the money handed over by Liu Er, but confirmed with Shen Junqian whether he really didn't want it, and then said to the young lady in the white shirt that he was supposed to accept Shen Junqian's hairpin without hand, just pay the price of the wood, since Shen Junqian and a few people transferred, there is no need to increase the price, just give it at this price.

Fortunately, the young lady only frowned and didn't say anything, and left with someone after the Liu Er maid finished paying.

After walking for a while, Xu Yaqin suddenly said out loud: "Why did you suddenly give up and give up what should have been your own to others?"

Xu Yaqin and Shen Junqian were originally walking on both sides of Xu Zhuqing on one left and one right, Shen Junqian was walking around with her head around, as soon as Xu Yaqin's headless words came out, Xu Zhuqing first glanced at Xu Yaqin, and then looked at Shen Junqian.

Shen Junqian walked a few steps quickly and ran to Xu Zhuqing and turned his head to look at Xu Yaqin on the other side, "Is my cousin talking to me?" I don't know what's going on recently, why it seems that the people around me like to suddenly come out with a sentence.

Xu Yaqin's eyes, which she didn't know where to see, finally turned around, looked at Shen Junqian expressionlessly, and said: "You should have liked that hairpin very much just now, since you liked it very much, that old man even said that he sold it to you cheaply, I think you also let the maid pay for it, and in the end, don't let it go of what should have been your own?"

Seeing Xu Zhuqing's gaze also looking over, he knew that he also had this question, so he simply said generously: "No way, I didn't bring enough money to go out today, and I have no money." ”

"It's just because you don't have money why don't you just say to my brother, if you really like that hairpin, I'll buy it and give it to you. Xu Zhuqing laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a hairpin, next time I have the opportunity to bring enough silver, it's not a problem to come to this shop and choose ten or eight of it." ”

"How can those be the same as the one just now?" Shen Junqian had just finished speaking, Xu Yaqin's words blurted out, and she looked at Shen Junqian with burning eyes. Shen Junqian suddenly became timid, feeling as if he was being targeted by something invisible, and unconsciously rubbed his arms.

Shen Junqian hurriedly said: "The same is the same, what is the difference, it is all the craftsmanship of that master, and it will definitely not be bad." ”

I went shopping for a while before, and then stayed in that wood carving shop for several hours, and now that the sun is setting in the west, Shen Junqian looked at the sun that was about to set, and hurriedly urged Xu Zhuqing's brothers and sisters, "Do you go back together, I'm going back." ”

After shopping for so long, Xu Yaqin was already tired, and seeing that Shen Junqian didn't answer her question or speak, Xu Zhuqing said on the side: "Since that's the case, then let's go back." ”

Although it was the gate that followed Xu Zhuqing's brothers and sisters into the gate, as soon as they separated from Xu Yaqin, Shen Junqian immediately trotted with his clothes and Xingyu, and looked around all the way, seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly ran into Linyuan Hall.

Returning to the room and quickly changing his clothes, Xingyu secretly went out to inquire, saying that the Xiao family had not come back yet, and the three masters and servants suddenly put their minds at ease, and were dismantling the things they bought from the West Market, and Yaohuang beside the Xiao family asked to see them at the door.

Yaohuang said a word with a smile, which immediately made Shen Junqian's master and servant's heart immediately lift. "Madame said to ask Miss Six to bring the things she bought outside today and wait for her in the main room. "A noble family
