With Qinshuang's memories of coming to Lyra Town, she walked to the door of a refining shop. When the shopkeeper Jiaxun saw Qin Shuang standing in front of him, a smile appeared on his face and said:

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess, is there anything you need for the little old man?"

The words were respectful, but there was no respect in that look.

Qin Shuang saluted Zhang Jiaxun and said, "Boss Zhang, I'll buy something." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Jiaxun's face immediately showed a friendly smile and said: "You go in and pick it yourself, pick it and bring it over, and Xiao Lao'er will settle the account for you." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Go!" Zhang Jiaxun smiled and waved his hand. But he didn't even lift his buttocks.

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

"Boss Zhang, how much do these three carving knives cost?"

Zhang Jiaxun's eyes swept over the three carving knives, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he still said with a smile:

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

"Oh!"

Qin Shuang nodded, took the carving knife and walked into the store again, this time the Zhang Jiaxun did not sit on the chair and look at the scene on the street, but looked at Qin Shuang's back, his eyes showed a trace of interest.

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 at this time: "These three kinds of jade are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower, such a high-grade jade needs three hundred taels of silver, the medium one needs eighty taels, and this low-grade one also needs thirty-five taels. ”

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

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

"How much does that cost?" asked Qin Shuang, a little nervously, her money was really not much.

Zhang Jiaxun glanced at Qin Shuang, and felt that there was a significant difference in temperament from the seventh princess he had seen at the beginning, and said with a smile in his heart:

"Forget it, Xiao Lao'er will cut it for you for free. ”

Qin Shuang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Boss Zhang." ”

As he spoke, he took out forty taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Jiaxun: "Boss Zhang, this is forty taels of silver, and I still want that carving knife." ”

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

After the words fell, he took the piece of jade and walked into the inner room. Qin Shuang sent the two pieces of jade back to the counter, then took the five taels of silver carving knife in his hand, sat on the chair at the door and waited for Zhang Jiaxun.

In about two quarters of an hour, Zhang Jiaxun came out of the room, handed Qin Shuang a cloth bag and said, "It's all here, you can take a look." ”

Qin Shuang opened the cloth bag and saw that the neat fifteen pieces of jade were neatly placed in the cloth bag, and he happily got up from the chair and smiled at Zhang Jiaxun:

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

"Welcome back!" Zhang Jiaxun happily sat on the chair and waved his hand to Qinshuang.

Qin Shuang put the carving knife into the cloth bag, then put the cloth bag in his arms, and walked towards his home in high spirits.

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

"Princess, you're back!"

This young man was born a head taller than Qin Shuang, his face was a little handsome, and he was wearing the dress of a scholar, Qin Shuang thought quickly in his mind, and then remembered that the young man in front of him was the scholar of the third son of the Li family in Tianqin Town.

The third son of the Li family was a person with poor cultivation qualifications, so he gave up martial arts and practiced literature very early. The young man in front of him is Li Wenhai's scholar Li Yan.

This Li Yan is one of the few partners who has good intentions towards Qinshuang after Qinshuang came to Tianqin Town, Li Yan is two years older than Qinshuang, and he takes care of Qinshuang very much. Knowing that Qin Shuang is greedy, he often saves some delicious food from his mouth and secretly gives it to Qin Shuang.

At this time, Li Yan saw that Qin Shuang did not see him like before, so he came up affectionately and called himself Xiao Yanzi, and his expression was stunned. However, he quickly took out an oily paper bag from his bosom, ran to Qin Shuang in three steps and two steps, opened the paper bag, revealing a golden chicken leg, and said as if offering treasure:

"Princess, see what I've brought you?"

Qin Shuang looked at the big chicken leg and swallowed a mouthful of saliva very angrily, but after all, she was not the thirteen-year-old Qin Shuang before, and she said with embarrassment on her face:

"Little Rock...... Son, you might as well keep it for yourself!"

Li Yan's expression was stunned again, he had secretly given Qin Shuang something to eat before, but Qin Shuang had never been polite. Every time, he snatched things from his own hands like a robbery and gobbled them up. This...... How did she push it?

However, when he saw Qinshuang's eyes shining and staring at the big chicken leg in his hand, his heart suddenly changed. The princess was just embarrassed, so she straightened her chest and pushed the big chicken leg in front of Qin Shuang and said:

"Give it to you, and you will eat. Xiao Yanzi will send it to you later. ”

"That'...... Alright!"

Qin Shuang happily took the big chicken leg and took Li Yan into the house, and came to the stone bench under a tree, first put the chicken leg in a paper bag, and then put it on the stone bench. When you come to the well, you pick up a bucket of water from the well and put it into a wooden basin, wash your hands, and then dry them. He sat down in front of the stool, took the chicken thighs out of the paper bag, and tore the chicken with both hands and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

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

Qin Shuang elegantly ate half of the chicken thighs 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 it!"

Qin Shuang smiled gently: "Leave it to the nurse." ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with some sneering: "Princess, next time I will take more things." ”

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

"Princess, I ......"

Before Li Yan's words fell, Qin Ying walked in from outside, and when she saw Li Yan, she smiled and said, "Xiao Yan is here!"

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

"Well, then you guys can play!" As she spoke, Qin Ying walked towards the house, and Qin Shuang clearly saw the tired smile on the nurse's face, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart.

Li Yan hurriedly said with some weakness: "Aunt Qin, I should go back, the third prince may be calling me!"

Qin Ying didn't look back, just waved her hand gently, and Li Yan waited until Qin Ying entered the room before whispering to Qin Shuang:

"Princess, I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you in a few days. ”

"I'll send you!"

Sending Li Yan out of the door, Qin Shuang looked at Li Yan's back as he disappeared in the night, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart......

"Do I have to rely on other people's handouts to live?"
