Chapter 8 Chance Encounters in the County Town

Han Yixuan's sudden new cotton clothes on his body aroused enthusiastic speculation from the villagers, and a few of them even jokingly asked if it was given to him by a girl. Han Yixuan smiled elegantly every time, looking unfathomable.

Xiuhe and Yun Niang had already noticed his new clothes, and tried a few words from time to time, but Han Yixuan always kept silent, which made them hate the root of their teeth.

Xiuhe had long wanted to make a cotton coat for her husband, but she was not loose in her hands, and she didn't have so much money to buy silk. She felt that only clothes made of silk and satin were worthy of such a noble and handsome gentleman, and ordinary cotton clothes on him were simply an insult to him. She also wanted to do more embroidery work to earn some money to make a cotton coat made of silk for her husband, and she even thought about how excited her husband would be when he wore a cotton coat made of silk, maybe he would like her because of it. But now it's good that Mr.'s cotton clothes have been taken first, and it's no wonder that she doesn't resent it.

Seeing that her husband was still in the wind in ordinary cotton clothes, she once again resented the person who made cotton clothes for her husband. If she made this cotton clothes by herself, she would have made a white one for her husband, who wore white as if he was a fairy, and when he wore other colors, he seemed to have a lot less fairy energy.

Han Yixuan was very satisfied with his new cotton clothes, not to mention the fit, and it was very warm. The style of this dress is also what he likes very much, it is not as heavy as ordinary cotton clothes, and the outer layer can be removed and cleaned, which is really convenient for him.

This Xiao girl has put a lot of thought into it, maybe he ...... him, but he doesn't dare to think about it. In any case, he can't pretend to be stupid after people have put so much effort into him. Han Yixuan thought that he would wait for a few days and take a day off, he would go to the county seat to take a look, and he must choose a gift for her.

Xiao Ruyu has been very busy these days, she just took over a pair of embroidery jobs and made a dowry for a girl from a wealthy family in the county. The family asked for some fresh embroidery, preferably something that was not available on the market. They pay a lot of money, and if she can earn it, she can have a good year. In order to meet the requirements, she decided to go to the market to see what the patterns were, and when she came back, she painted one herself, and the embroidery would be fresh and beautiful when the time came.

The winter sun also seems to be frozen, and some sluggishly hangs in the sky to release its little heat. Han Yixuan shook his hand with cotton gloves, feeling almost numb. Fortunately, I wore new cotton clothes, otherwise this winter would have been really difficult.

The gloves that Miss Xiao made for him are very useful, and this outfit is indeed a lot warmer. He hesitated and didn't wear the socks, always feeling that if such a private thing was worn on his body, it seemed to have a different meaning.

He doesn't have any thoughts about her now, and if he wears socks made by others before he is sure of his thoughts, he seems to be a little sorry for others.

In front of him is the county seat, and he has never been to the county seat since he came here. Usually, the things he needs are entrusted to come to the county seat to buy, and everyone respects him very much and is willing to help him. The name of the county seat is Leping, which is very ordinary and easy to remember.

I inquired with someone and knew that there was a good jewelry store in the county, so I walked in the direction that people guided. Yes, he wanted to give her a piece of jewelry. Although the people in the mountains are poor, those big girls and little daughters-in-law like to wear jewelry. Even the hardest widow Ding had a silver bracelet on her wrist. But he observed carefully, Xiao Ruyu didn't have any jewelry.

I heard about Xiao Ruyu's life experience, and I knew that she fled here because her family was in distress, and she didn't have much money in her hand, otherwise how could Ruhua not even have a decent piece of jewelry at her age. Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. He feels miserable when he is alone in a foreign land, let alone a girl's family.

"This son, do you want to buy jewelry?" As soon as I entered the Jin Ji jewelry store, a warm guy came over to say hello.

"Well, I'd like to see it first." He nodded slightly, and the man led him to a pile of gold and jade jewelry on the counter, "Childe, please look, this is the best jewelry we have here." Would you rather send a girl or a lady? ”

"Oh, I'll take a look." A little can't stand the enthusiasm of the guys, Han Yixuan walked in front of a jade jewelry, it was a pair of emerald green bracelets, looking at the luster and color, the jade quality should be good, if it is carried in Miss Xiao's hand, it must look good.

"How much do these bracelets cost?" Han Yixuan touched his pocket, hoping that the money in his pocket was enough to buy this pair of bracelets.

"Childe has good eyesight, this is the best thing in our shop. 850 taels of silver. The guy smiled and replied.

Han Yixuan's hand on his pocket was put down again, it was too expensive, and his dozens of taels of silver were not enough to stuff this bracelet between his teeth. Now he deeply understands the feeling that a penny is difficult for a hero, and he who didn't care much about money before, fully understands the embarrassment of having no money at this moment.

"Childe can take a look at this." The guy saw Han Yixuan's embarrassment, and he led him to another jade bracelet, "This only needs eighty taels, although the jade quality is not as good as the pair just now, but for our county, it is not bad." ”

Han Yixuan's fist clenched and put it away, put it and clenched it, and asked stubbornly, "Is there anything cheaper?" "He only had twenty taels of silver in his pocket, and this was all his possessions.

The guy was stunned for a moment, although the son in front of him was dressed in general but had a good temperament, not like a person with no money, so he led him to this high-end consumption area, but he didn't expect this good-looking son to be a poor man, he didn't say anything, and led him to the low-end consumption area with his head down.

"Childe pick slowly, we all have a price here, you fancy which one, I'll wrap it for you." The man said, pointing to a pile of gold, silver and jade ornaments.

The things here are obviously not a grade, not to mention the poor workmanship, and the color and style are also very old, Han Yixuan was immediately disappointed when he saw it.

Just as he was thinking about whether to change something else, a pair of small jade earrings came into his eyelids. Although the jade of the pair of earrings is very small, the color is very moist, and at a glance, you can see that the jade quality is good, and the other parts of the earrings are silver, lying there quietly with a burning light, Han Yixuan liked it at a glance.

"How do you sell these earrings?" He pointed to the man, he had an idea in his heart, as long as he could afford the money, he would buy it even if he had everything. Xiao Ruyu didn't even have the earrings that the girl carried, and if this pair of earrings were brought to her jade white ears, they would look very good.

"This one costs eighteen taels of silver. Although the jade inlaid on it is small, the jade quality is the same as the material of the pair of 850 bracelets just now, if it is not a leftover, it will not be so cheap. The guy brought the pair of earrings over to Han Yixuan to see.

Hold the earrings in your hand and look at them carefully, it's really good. The style is generous, delicate and not eye-catching, it is rare that the jade inlaid on it is really good, and the price is not high, Han Yixuan decided to buy it.

After paying the silver and carefully carrying the earrings into his arms, Han Yixuan was about to go out. Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, and all the guys rushed to the door of the shop, and the guy who had just finished the bill for him was sorting things, and someone ran to him and said, "Quick, the eldest lady is here." As soon as the man heard this, he immediately put down his work and came out of the counter and quickly ran to the door, his hands drooping and his head slightly lowered, a typical action of welcoming a big man.

Han Yixuan saw that there were many guys standing at the door, but it was not good to go out immediately, so he could only stand by the counter and look at the door, I don't know what the eldest lady in this guy's mouth came from, she actually had such a big posture.

"I've seen the eldest lady." The men at the door waved from the door in unison, and as they walked, a woman in a red silk dress and a snow-white fox cloak walked in.

She is very tall, a little strong, and not ugly, but with a large face, big eyes, and a big mouth, she looks less detailed, especially with intricate gold ornaments on her head, which makes people feel like an upstart. She dragged a long whip in her hand, and there was a slight anger on her face, as if someone had provoked her.

"Hey, who's that, go and lead my horse to the back and feed it well, if something goes wrong, take care of your skin." He pointed a whip at a fellow closest to her and said sharply, so frightened that the fellow nodded hurriedly and trotted out.

"Who is this?" The two middle-aged women in the store who hadn't gone out just now got together and whispered.

"You don't know, this is Jin Yumei, the only daughter of Jin Ji Jin Zhenyuan, a famous tigress in Leping County. It's amazing. A woman quietly covered her mouth and told the people around her that Han Yixuan was close enough to listen carefully.

Looking at the girl's posture, she is indeed worthy of the word tigress. He used to see too many gentle women, and he didn't have much interest in rough women.

"It turns out that this is the eldest lady of the Jin family, she is indeed very powerful." Another also whispered.

"You keep your voice quiet, she hears you can't eat and walk around." Another caveat.

"Hey, what bad things do you say about our young lady?" A loud voice in an emerald green jacket that had been standing behind Jin Yumei shouted, her hand pointing straight at the two women behind Han Yixuan.

"Nothing? We didn't say anything, this son, isn't it? The two looked at Han Yixuan's eyes with deep pleading.

"Yo, this son is so good-looking, may I ask your surname?" Jin Yumei's attention was immediately attracted by Han Yixuan, she pinched her waist with one hand, and looked up and down at Han Yixuan generously. That gaze was a little unscrupulous, in addition to admiration and envy, there was also a trace of greed, which made Han Yixuan very uncomfortable.

"You really didn't say anything bad about the girl, I can testify." Han Yixuan said with a cold face, and after speaking, he flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave. Seeing that Jin Yumei was about to eat him, he couldn't help but wave his fist in her face for a while.

"Childe, you haven't told me your name yet." Jin Yumei shouted and chased out, and the two women in the store quickly ran away.

Han Yixuan walked briskly, Jin Yumei chased after him, and several people came out of the street to watch the excitement for a while. Han Yixuan frowned, hid around a corner and jumped over the high wall in front of him to another alley, he still didn't believe that this Jin Yumei could still catch up.
