Chapter 41 The Value of Stories

Chapter 41 The Value of Stories

"Where did you two go?"

After finally finding Feng Yunxian and Xiao Longbao, Mu Xuanyi saw them each taking a bunch of candied haws. Didn't they say they wanted to go shopping with him and look for ancient books? They actually ate the candied haws secretly without telling her!

Mu Xuanyi put her hands on her hips and glared at the two of them. Okay, you guys, no one can run away today! Before she could start questioning her, Feng Yunxian had already handed over the candied haws.

What does this mean, bribery? I don't want to do this! Mu Xuanyi turned her head to the side and made up her mind that she would not accept anything she said.

"I saw you were enjoying yourself just now, so we didn't want to disturb you. I also heard from Xiao Long Bao that you like sweets. I met a candied haws seller, so I bought a bunch for you two."

"Why don't you try it and see if it suits your taste?" Feng Yunxian handed the candied haws to her again with a light movement.

When the sweet smell came to her, Mu Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, then took it.

"Even if you can talk, I'm not that easy to fool." As soon as she took a bite, Feng Yunxian took the porcelain in her hand.

"I'll hold it for you, you eat first."

Mu Xuanyi took Xiao Longbao's hand and turned her head, but she couldn't help but smile. Mom, he is so good! He is so sensible!

"Although this porcelain vase is made in an antique style, it looks quite exquisite. It would be good as a decoration at home. How much did Miss Mu buy it for?" Feng Yunxian looked at the porcelain vase in his hand and looked at Mu Xuanyi.

Mu Xuanyi bit the candied haws in her mouth and said vaguely: "The boss wants five hundred taels."

"Although the money is a little more expensive, Miss Mu's love is priceless. It is also a blessing for this thing to be chosen by Miss Mu." Feng Yunxian nodded, and what he said was very pertinent.

"...I gave him five taels." Mu Xuanyi then said the second half of her words, and she could clearly see Feng Yunxian's expression changing.

"As expected of Miss Mu, she could tell at a glance that this bottle was not worth five hundred taels, and she was able to buy it at the right price. She really has a sharp eye for discerning pearls." Feng Yunxian turned his attack and praised Mu Xuanyi again.

once.

Mu Xuanyi doubted that he was the reincarnation of a flatterer. How could he speak so smoothly? Maybe he complimented others more often...but for some reason, today's candied haws were a little sweeter than usual.

The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, deciding that she would not remember the faults of villains and would not argue with Feng Yunxian.

"This hairpin..."

While walking, Feng Yunxian stopped first, his eyes fell on a stall, and he frowned slightly.

Mu Xuanyi also followed and looked over. Most of the items on this stall were jewelry. The traces of the broken moon remaining on the jewelry were not heavy, but they looked a bit primitive.

"What can you say about this kind of jewelry?" Mu Xuanyi took the initiative to squat in front of the stall and asked the stall owner.

"Although these jewelry are very old, the stories and memories contained in them are incomparable to anything else."

"For example, this hairpin was left behind by a general of our dynasty. The general fought on the battlefield and passed between life and death several times. Every time he survived, he would take a look at this hairpin, because it represented that in the capital,

Waiting for his wife, so that he can rekindle the hope of life."

The jade material used for the hairpin does not look very good. There is even a corner missing where the jade beads were originally hung. It also looks gray and inconspicuous.

Mu Xuanyi picked it up carefully: "There is still such a thing, what about the general?"

"Of course he died in battle. We also found this thing in the battlefield ruins. If you like it, girl, you can take a good look. I can tell you all the stories here."

The stall owner had a smile on his face. Although he was setting up a stall in a busy city, he didn't shout around like other people trying to attract customers for himself. Instead, he sat here quietly, waiting for people to come up to ask and tell the story.

At this time, his tone was neither urgent nor slow.

Mu Xuanyi felt that this person should be the clear one here. She held her chin and asked about a few other accessories. After listening to the stall owner's story, she turned back to look at Feng Yunxian: "What do you think?"

Feng Yunxian nodded: "It's a good idea."

It is not certain whether these ornaments really have the story told by the stall owner, but the stall owner’s selling method is indeed very novel.

"Then give me this. How much does it cost?" Mu Xuanyi finally pointed to the hosta from the first story.

The stall owner said with a smile: "I don't care how much you want, fifty taels of silver is not negotiable."

"Actually, I have several stories here. How about I give them to you? Just give me the hosta." Mu Xuanyi hesitated for a moment. Is this thing so profitable? Just pick up anything.

Sold for so much money.

"This thing in your hand is not real. The story you are telling her is just a story that has been circulated in the streets for a long time." Feng Yunxian couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Mu Xuanyi. "If you really want to read it, I'm here."

It’s true.”

"You also like to collect this kind of stuff?" Mu Xuanyi looked at Feng Yunxian in surprise. She didn't expect that this gentle man would actually like to collect these women's accessories.

Feng Yunxian opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer the question for a moment. After a moment, he sighed in frustration: "I mean the things in his first story. I have the real thing. You can go back with me and look at it."

"How is that possible? General Feng has been dead for many years, unless you are Feng... Master Feng?" The stall owner raised his head in surprise, and after carefully studying Feng Yunxian's expression, his attitude towards him immediately changed.

"Since it's Master Feng, we won't accept cash. As long as a girl likes anything here, she can take it away directly." The stall owner said respectfully.

"No need, my face isn't worth much money. Just give me a fair price and we can buy it." Feng Yunxian shook his head. He didn't know the stall owner, and he wasn't willing to accept other people's kindness for no reason.

In the end, Mu Xuanyi took away the hosta for one tael of silver.

She wrapped the hosta and put it in her arms: "Your father is a general? I have never heard you say that."

She originally only knew that the Feng family was a scholarly family, and that Feng Yunxian's parents had passed away when he was young. She really didn't know the rest.

"Why bother mentioning the past?" Feng Yunxian asked in return.

Mu Xuanyi closed her mouth knowingly, and heard Feng Yunxian's voice again, "I have been with my grandparents since I was a child, and I don't know much about my parents. Later I only knew that he died for the country.

After the news came back about the brave and skillful general, my mother couldn't bear the blow, so she followed him."
