The master and servant were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard a noisy sound, and several slightly shrill female voices sounded from downstairs, and the content could be faintly heard on the second floor.

Ruan Qinge frowned slightly, but continued to pick up the jewelry, and there were already a variety of hairpins and hairpins on the plate in Lingyu's hand on the side.

Not far away, the maid of an official lady went downstairs curiously to take a look, and came up to her master and said, "It seems that there are two young ladies who have taken a fancy to the same jewelry and want to buy it, so they have some quarrels." ”

"Oh? The jewelry on the first floor is all ordinary material styles, and some people even have disputes about it. The official lady pursed her lips with some disdain after hearing this, she also looked like she was from a rich family, she was very exquisitely dressed, and her face was good, but her slightly raised eyebrows added a touch of arrogance to her.

"The slave and maid look like it's just an ordinary hairpin, I don't know why the two young ladies are arguing." The handmaid chimed in.

The noise downstairs was getting louder and louder, and Ruan Qinge couldn't help but put down a hairpin he was holding.

"Why does Fifth Miss have to compete with me for this hosta?" A soft voice came from downstairs, and it seemed to have some crying.

Another, more crisp and bright voice sounded, "This hairpin is obviously the first thing I took a look at, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to use the word scramble." ”

The weak voice seemed to be choked, but continued to say softly, "This hairpin is just a plain ordinary hairpin, but Qingqing has always loved lotus, and when she saw the lotus pattern on the hairpin, she felt that she liked it very much, and I hope that Miss Fifth can give this hairpin to Qingqing." ”

The other person seemed to be laughed angrily, and his voice was slightly louder, "If you like it, I will give it to you, what is the reason, let me tell you Sun Qingqing, your set will not work in front of me." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Tingge's heart moved.

Sun Qingqing? She remembered the favored concubine Rou in the palace in her previous life, and it seemed that her name was Sun Qingqing.

She was slightly interested, and listened intently.

"Fifth sister, don't be so aggressive," a clear male voice sounded, with some accusations, "You can't put down a lot of jewelry in your room, why should you be so stingy with a hairpin." Qingqing loves this hairpin so much, what can you do if you give it to her. ”

"Second brother, listen to your words yourself, I really don't know where the partiality goes." The crisp female voice seemed to be angry and became a lot sharper.

Listening to the quarrel downstairs, although Ruan Tingge was a little curious, he didn't plan to go down to watch the excitement, and when he was about to pay the bill, the sound of the system's machinery suddenly sounded.

"The temporary task has been issued, please open the light screen to view."

Ruan Tingge's mind moved, opened the light screen, and looked at the task column:

5. Tasks

1. Main quest (1): Help Ling Chengsi ascend to the throne of Dongyun Kingdom

Reward: A gift package for the country

Failure Penalty for Mission: Talent attribute cleared

2. Temporary Mission: Help Lin Yunxi regain the lotus hosta that originally belonged to her

Bonus: 20 stat points

Mission Failure Penalty: Reset a talent attribute to zero at random"

Seeing the content of the temporary task, the corners of Ruan Tingge's mouth couldn't help twitching, could it be that this system is still a system that likes to meddle?

She didn't have time to think about the purpose of the system, and when she heard the noise and quarrel downstairs, she was worried that the task would fail, so she hurriedly ordered Banxia, "You put these jewelry in checkout, Lingyu, you go down with me to have a look." ”

After speaking, she called the shopkeeper on the side and whispered something to the shopkeeper.

The smiling face of the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Pavilion showed a little embarrassment, and when she saw this, she asked Lingyu to stuff a purse for him.

Holding the heavy purse in his hand, thinking of Ruan Tingge's identity, the shopkeeper still made up his mind, nodded at Ruan Tingge and said, "That little one will listen to the nobleman, try your best." ”

The upstairs arrangements are not mentioned for the time being, and the dispute downstairs continues.

Lin Yunxi looked at the two people in front of him, and felt aggrieved and depressed for a while.

She is the daughter of Lin Jinyu, the head of the household, and has been pampered by her family since she was a child, and her temperament has always been innocent and straightforward.

Half a year ago, Sun Qingqing, the niece of the second aunt's family, came to the Lin family to live temporarily, but she didn't expect that the hearts of her brother and brother would be all collected by her.

Sun Qingqing doesn't know why, she always likes to stumble her openly and secretly, and she is not as good as Sun Qingqing who can speak well with a mouth, nor is she as sensible and obedient as she can pretend to be in front of others, so she falls behind again and again, and she is accused of being coquettish and willful.

It's the same this time, the hosta was obviously the one she saw first, and she felt that she liked it inexplicably, but this Sun Qingqing didn't know what was crazy, and she must have taken this hosta from her hand.

Lin Yunxi had some feelings in her dark that if she missed this hosta, she would miss something that was very important to her.

Seeing that Sun Qingqing still put on that weak and pitiful look, Lin Yunxi hated it in his heart, but he couldn't beat the second brother's blind favoritism.

Lin Yunxi's maidservant Ming'er was also upset with Miss Miss, so angry that she puffed out her cheeks, plucked up her courage and said, "Second Young Master, Miss also likes this hosta very much, and besides, this is also the first thing Miss took a fancy to, and she is already planning to buy it, why do you have to give it to Miss Biao?" ”

"Ming'er, don't talk too much!" The second young master of the Lin family looks polite, with fair skin and a thin body, he doesn't like to argue with the maidservant, so he lowered his voice and scolded.

The second young master of the Lin family turned his head and saw Sun Qingqing Yingying's eyes with water, as if he was very aggrieved, so he said with some distress, "Qingqing, don't pay attention to this girl's words." ”

Sun Qingqing shook her head slightly, and said with a smile, "It's okay, second cousin." ”

Lin Yunxi listened to Sun Qingqing's delicate "second cousin", and felt sick in his heart, obviously he was the niece of the second aunt in the next room, but he called his own brother so affectionate.

Sun Qingqing saw Lin Yunxi's disdainful look, and showed a provocative smile to her behind the back of the second young master of the Lin family, and then turned to the second young master of the Lin family and said, "Qingqing doesn't want to compete with the fifth miss for this hosta, just because my mother also loves lotus, Qingqing wants to buy this hosta and give it to her mother, and I hope that the second cousin and the fifth miss can understand." ”

The second young master of the Lin family hurriedly said, "This is Qingqing's filial piety, of course I can understand it." After he finished speaking, he looked at his sister with some displeasure, "Yunxi, why have you become so calculating recently?" ”

Lin Yunxi was annoyed by Sun Qingqing's provocative smile just now, and when he heard his brother say this, he glared at the second young master of the Lin family and Sun Qingqing without showing weakness, "Why do you always want me to give in?" Just now, Sun Qingqing said that he likes lotuses, and now he says that his mother likes them, I really don't know which sentence is true. ”

Sun Qingqing said softly, "My mother has always loved lotus, and I have also liked the clean and elegant atmosphere of lotus since I was a child, so this hairpin, Qingqing expected that my mother would like it like Qingqing." ”
