NCCnovel Chapter 244 Sandalwood Hairpin
Chapter 244 Sandalwood Hairpin
This was the first time that Lin Jiaojiao went out for a trip with Qi Yao.
When two people walked down the street, they attracted a lot of attention.
She held his arm and walked on the busy street, but the surprised, amazed and envious looks from passers-by still made her shyly lower her head and stay close to him.
She didn't expect so many people to turn around to look at her. If she had known earlier, she would have worn a veil hat when going out.
She looked up at Qi Yao, who was also not wearing a veil. She suddenly felt that if he wore a veil, their rate of turning heads would not be so high.
I'm so jealous.
Why do boys look so good with makeup? She also wanted to put on makeup, but Qi Yao just drew her eyebrows and that was it.
"It's all your fault."
Qi Yao simply ignored the gazes of the people around him. This was his first time showing up in front of the world in broad daylight, so he was not worried about his identity being discovered.
He lowered his eyes to look at the woman leaning against him, listening to her soft complaints, a low voice rising from the corner of his mouth.
"Why blame me?"
"It's because you're so good-looking. You'll definitely get people turning their heads to look at you."
"Jiaojiao is also pretty."
"Hate…"
Although the people passing by were surprised by their appearance, what shocked them most was their intimate actions.
I suddenly couldn't tell which one was the girl and which one was the boy. How strange.
The country of Chaoqi is relatively open to married women and men, but men are used to being conservative and are not very open even after marriage.
Therefore, the intimate actions of the two people aroused the envy of people around them, and the relationship between husband and wife was so good.
The two stopped in front of a jewelry stall. Most of the jewelry was made of cheap materials, but they came in many styles and were small and cute.
Lin Jiaojiao fell in love with a sandalwood hairpin at first sight. She picked it up and looked at it again and again, feeling that it looked familiar.
"Sir, you have good taste. This is the best-selling model in our store. It's a pity that the carving master no longer does this business. There are only a few left out of so many. It is considered out of print."
The stall owner was flattered to see the two people visiting her shop, and she introduced them nervously but enthusiastically.
She didn't expect that the hairpins she collected in Nanshan City were so popular. The shop was originally clearing out the store and it seemed that they were no longer in stock, so she was not lying. It was indeed out of print.
Lin Jiaojiao suppressed the strangeness in her heart, picked up the hairpin and held it in front of Qi Yao to ask.
"Is my brother good-looking?"
Instead, Qi Yao reached out to take it, looked at the jade crown on her head, found the right position and gently inserted it.
Upon seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly took out his best bronze mirror and held it in front of them with both hands. Lin Jiaojiao smiled and looked at herself in the bronze mirror in front of her. They were so mismatched. The exquisite and complicated jade crown and the plain and simple wooden hairpin formed a sharp contrast.
She glanced at Qi Yao, who was smiling, with a coquettish look, then picked up another sandalwood hairpin carved with a plum blossom pattern and inserted it into his hair, which made the red camellia in his hair look even more gorgeous.
hateful.
As expected, if you have a beautiful face, it won’t be affected no matter what you do!
Qi Yao also came to the bronze mirror and admired her masterpiece.
"Well, it looks better on Jiaojiao."
She knew he was coaxing her, but she couldn't suppress the wild upward curve of her mouth corners and snorted proudly.
He reached out to help take the wooden hairpin out of her hair, then reached out to take the one on his own head and handed them both to the stall owner.
"Wrap it up."
"okay."
The stall owner put down the bronze mirror, respectfully stretched out her hands to take the hairpins, and then took out her best brocade box to put the two sandalwood hairpins in each.
When Lin Jiaojiao saw her packing, she immediately took off the purse from her waist. She had begged for it shamelessly, as she also wanted to experience the joy of spending money in ancient times.
"how much is it?"
"One, two, three hundred coins."
The stall owner didn't look at the price people were bidding. Originally, the sandalwood hairpin was sold for 500 wen each, and the brocade box was the best one, 150 wen each. He packed it up and handed it out.
Lin Jiaojiao also took out two taels of silver from her purse and gave it to her, then took the brocade box, opened it and looked at it again.
I always feel weird.
She felt like she also had a hairpin like this.
As she was thinking about this, a hairpin with similar workmanship suddenly appeared from the brocade box. She immediately widened her eyes and blinked.
It really exists.
Seeing this, Qi Yao immediately reached out and closed the lid of the brocade box, and this action also brought her back to her senses.
She immediately looked around at the people around her, but her eyes met with the person who had been silently watching them on the street, and both of them were startled.
Her face turned red and she looked at the person next to her for help with some fear, and he leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. No one saw us."
She didn't dare look at anyone else and replied in a low voice with her head down.
"I didn't mean to do it. I just thought about it and it just appeared out of nowhere."
"It doesn't matter, even if someone sees it, brother will protect you."
Big deal, kill them all.
The stall owner had also given the change and looked up to see the two people whispering sweet nothings. It was unknown what the man said, but it made the woman blush.
Weird.
She seriously suspected whether this was a romantic interest between husband and wife, and that they had swapped identities?
"Sir, I have the change. Please take it."
Lin Jiaojiao then blushed and looked up and stretched out her hand to take it. Then she looked at the string of copper coins in her hand and became worried. Her purse could not hold so many copper coins, and it would be too ostentatious to hold them in her hand.
She picked out five red-string jade-bead bracelets and then spent the entire string of copper coins. Finally, she put the remaining copper coins into her purse, which was now heavy with money.
It was too heavy to hang around the waist, so she simply carried the purse by the ropes on both sides, like a small handbag.
"Brother, come quickly. There are sugar paintings here."
"Jiaojiao, slow down."
not far away.
Two men wearing veiled hats stood in front of the bun stall, waiting for the fresh big meat buns to come out of the oven.
But the two men did not look at the busy master in the stall, but looked at the motionless figure not far ahead. In the end, the man in dark green brocade clothes spoke first.
"Brother Jiu, am I seeing things right? The one in front is really not Eleven?"
The man in black brocade clothes next to the man in dark green brocade clothes did not say anything. He just looked away absentmindedly and watched the stall master packing the fresh meat buns skillfully.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Lan Shi thought he didn't see it, and immediately wanted to reach out and pull him over to gossip, but he was ruthlessly pushed away and moved to the side.
But Lan Shi didn't care. He had been rejected countless times by him. No, it was their small group that didn't like him.
He doesn't care.
He is thick-skinned anyway.
He also moved to his side, but his eyes continued to look at the woman holding a string of rabbit candy paintings not far away. She put the candy paintings in her hand to the man's mouth.
But the man opened his mouth with a smile on his face and bit off the rabbit's ears. The woman first looked coquettish and then asked something expectantly.
"Sir, your buns are ready."
Lan Jiu reached out to take the food box, gave the money and walked straight forward.
When Lan Shi saw that Lan Jiu was about to collide head-on with his master and the others, he wailed in his heart.
Brother Jiu, if you want to die, don’t take me with you!
But he still quickened his pace and followed. After all, Lan Jiu had already appeared, and it would be too obvious that he was just watching from the side. Now the two of them just walked past like this, just like they accidentally passed by. Presumably, the master behind them would not punish them.
Lin Jiaojiao picked up Qi Yao's cat sugar painting, but she didn't hand it to him immediately. Instead, she bit off the cat's tail.
hum.
Revenge for the rabbit ears.
Qi Yao watched her proudly hand him the candy painting of a cat without a tail. He took it with a charming smile and licked the part she had just bitten off.
"So sweet."
Looking at his captivating appearance, she felt her whole body getting hot and her mouth became extremely dry.
At this time, Lan Jiu and Lan Shi passed by them. When Lan Shi heard this, he paused for a moment, and then his eyes swept lightly over him.
……
Why is Brother Nine so calm!
He expressed his unwillingness to accept it, and calmed himself down and continued to walk forward calmly. Only when he could no longer hear their voices behind him did he dare to turn around and look.
However, the two people were no longer there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Lan Jiu who was not waiting for him.
"Brother Jiu, what's wrong with you? You are too cold to me today. You are not like this usually, eh? Do you think our eyes will be gouged out if we see this side of our master? Tsk tsk... You know what, our master actually has this side. Who is that woman? She is so capable! She even took down the King of Hell..."
Lan Jiu only felt his chattering voice filling his ears. He was already upset, and now he felt even more annoyed.
In fact, he had hoped that she would recognize his figure and then call him.
It turned out that he was just daydreaming.
