Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, rubbed Xia Xiaobei's head and said with a smile: "Hu Ling, where did you find such a cute sister? Look at this cute little sister, she is so cute, she is yours
Classmate?"
I also laughed. Although we both grew up alone, Xia Xiaobei is much more lively and lovable than me when it comes to dealing with people.
This may be related to her lively and cheerful personality.
Xia Xiaobei, who has left the Northeast and the shadow of his parents, will definitely make many, many friends in the future.
When we walked out of the flower shop, Xia Xiaobei kept chattering to me, all about his yearning and expectations for life in the new school. Xiao Han left after having lunch with us, and I accompanied Xia Xiaobei to go shopping.
Xia Xiaobei came to Jiangzhou City for the first time, and she hadn't done much shopping before. She showed her curiosity and excitement about this city that always carries the moisture of the river, and dragged me around.
When I was passing by Jiangzhou No. 1 Hospital and going to the pedestrian street, I saw a man in a silver-gray suit walking towards our direction from a distance. My heart tightened, and I pulled Xia Xiaobei around and entered a shop next to me.
That's Qi Yue.
It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I haven't figured out how to face him yet.
This is the ostrich character I have always had since I was a child. I often stay away from people because I don’t want to talk too much.
Thinking of everything that happened before and what Xiao Han said to me, I developed an instinctive resistance to Qi Yue.
It is impossible for me to question Qi Yue about those things, but I believe that Xiao Han will not lie to me. After so many things, I am more willing to believe Xiao Han. At the same time, I also realize that Qi Yue is not what I seem on the surface.
Such a simple person.
Xiao Han once told me that there was a demon spirit sealed in Qi Yue's home. If what he said was true, then the depth of Qi Yue's scheming was far beyond my imagination. At that time, I thought that he and Bai Xiaohe had learned a lot from me.
When I was young, the reason why I tried to get close to me was related to the strange blood on my body. Now that I think about it, it should also have a lot to do with my destiny.
It's a pity that I don't know what Bai Xiaohe said to his fourth uncle and grandma, which made her fourth uncle and grandma willing to abandon the home she had lived in for decades in Liuqiao Village and join my parents who regarded me as a disaster star.#@$&
My fourth uncle and grandma never told me. As for what Bai Xiaohe said to me, I have no way of judging how much of it is true.
So now I just want to avoid Qi Yue, as long as I can avoid it.
After entering, I discovered that it was a jade shop.
"Hey, Hu Ling, what are we doing here? Do you want to buy jade?" Xia Xiaobei was confused by me and asked me as he looked at the furnishings in the jade shop.
I had no idea about her, and looked out of the transparent glass window uneasily.%&(&
Fortunately, Qi Yue didn't notice me and just hurriedly walked towards the parking space on the street.
"Hey, Hu Ling, what are you looking at? Why are you so worried?" Xia Xiaobei pulled my arm from behind me.
"Oh, I didn't see anything. I'll tell you when I get back." I calmed down and turned back to Xia Xiaobei with a forced smile.
The counter girl in the jade shop had already come up to us, looking at Xia Xiaobei and I with warm and standard smiles, "You two want to see some ornaments or jewelry? We just got a few pendants in the store, Shuitou."
Excellent, very suitable for beautiful little girls like you."
Xia Xiaobei waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Thank you, we are not buying, we are just shopping."
As he said that, he pulled me out.
Suddenly my heart moved, I looked at the counter, grabbed Xia Xiaobei and said, "Xia Xiaobei, I haven't given you anything yet. You will be living in school tomorrow, so I'll give you a jade pendant."
I have always had a piece of jade left by my fourth uncle and grandma hanging on my body. When I took a shower on the day I returned to Jiangzhou City, I was surprised to find that the piece of black jade that was originally dusty and like a piece of stone had completely changed at some point.
The shape looks like a dragon that is about to take off in the auspicious clouds. The color is dark, and it looks like ink is slowly flowing inside when facing the light.
In the past, I always heard people say that jade has spiritual properties. I didn't really believe it. Now, seeing the piece of jade given to me by my fourth uncle's grandma slowly change with my experience, I really believe it.
So I thought about getting one for Xia Xiaobei.
"Oh, this thing is very expensive, and I don't like it either. Let's go, and you can give me something else when you have the opportunity in the future." Xia Xiaobei glanced at the price list on the counter, and pulled me to go out.
"I won't choose the most expensive one. I'll just give you a pendant. It doesn't cost much." I grabbed Xia Xiaobei and refused to leave.
Since it was fate that we came in, maybe a piece of jade here is destined to Xia Xiaobei.
Xia Xiaobei couldn't resist me, so I had to drag him back to the counter.
After dragging her around the store, our eyes fell on a white jade nine-tailed fox pendant at the same time.
The texture is pure white and delicate, with a faint radiance like newly boiled lard. A small fox with soft lines is half squatting and half standing, squinting its high eyes and showing a smile, with nine big fluffy tails.
It rises high behind it and spreads out into a fan shape. Under the light, it is as beautiful as if it has come alive. You can't take your eyes away at the first sight.
Seeing Xia Xiaobei and I staring at the nine-tailed fox pendant, the counter sister smiled and put on her gloves, carefully took out the pendant and put it in the black velvet tray and said: "You two little sisters have really good eyesight. This is
The mutton-fat jade that just arrived this morning, look at the density and oiliness, it is the best among Hetian jade, and, look at the shape of the nine-tailed fox, it is the best tool for attracting peach blossoms."
Xia Xiaobei and I don't care whether it attracts peach blossoms or not, and I don't know whether it is the best or not, but because of Mrs. Hu's nanny, I think this jade is really suitable for Xia Xiaobei.
"How much?" I raised my eyes and asked the counter sister.
"Fifteen thousand and eighty, but you are lucky. You are the first order today. According to the rules, we can give you a 10% discount. After the discount, the price is 14,220 yuan." The counter sister said with a smile.
When Xia Xiaobei heard the price, he pulled me away and said to the counter sister: "I'm sorry, we are still students and we can't afford such expensive things. Please put them away!"
After saying that, he pulled me out and said, "I told you these things are very expensive, Hu Ling. I know what you mean, but I really can't buy such expensive things."
"It's okay, I can afford this price, it's not very expensive!" I comforted Xia Xiaobei and said, "And you see, we are so lucky and there is a discount, how nice it is."
After saying that, I said to the counter sister: "That's it, wrap it up for us!"
"Okay, do you want to put it on this little sister now? It's best to wear jade on your body. It can nourish both jade and people." The cabinet girl asked with a sweet smile.
I pushed Xia Xiaobei, and seeing that she was still a little nervous, I straightened my face and pretended to be angry: "I just bought you a piece of jade, but we are not sisters anymore. If you keep doing this, I won't go shopping with you."
"Okay, then put it on for me!" Xia Xiaobei is a straightforward person. When he saw what I said, he no longer refused. He walked over and said to the counter sister.
"Your sister is so kind to you!" the cabinet sister said to Xia Xiaobei with a smile.
Xia Xiaobei looked at the mirror with a smile, and it was obvious that she liked this pendant very much.
Seeing that she likes it makes me very happy. This chapter has been completed!
