The shopkeeper looked at the little girl in front of him in confusion. He looked up and down, not as if he was here to buy a gold weapon. However, the shopkeeper still asked," Little girl, what do you want to see?"
"No, shopkeeper, I' m not here to buy things."
"If you don' t buy anything, why are you here?"
"I' m here to deliver things."
When the shopkeeper heard Qin Si'nan said that he was here to deliver goods, he thought that he was another peddler of mountain goods. He waved his hand in annoyance and said," We' re not buying things. You should go somewhere else to take a look!"
Qin Si'nan did n' t get angry when he heard the shopkeeper's words. He took out the box and unwrapped it. With a single glance, the shopkeeper recognized that this was something in their shop, and it was an old-fashioned box in their shop. Seeing this, he suddenly remembered something.
Thus, he had Qin Si'nan wait in the main hall for a moment before running to the back hall to report the matter to the young master. Coincidentally, this "Ruyi Square" young master had just visited Mingyue County branch yesterday.
The shopkeeper respectfully stood outside the curtain and said with his head lowered," Young master, there's a young lady outside. She came with a box that we designed ten years ago. She said she was giving us something."
"Miss? "Could it be that another family wants to climb the ladder and find another reason to meet me!" He could only hear a voice filled with temptation and disdain.
"Boss, I don' t think so. That girl is wearing some coarse clothes."
"Heh, this is fun! Go invite her over!"
Soon, the shopkeeper brought Qin Si'nan into the back hall. Through the curtain, Qin Si'nan could not see what the person behind the door looked like, but could smell the room full of fragrance.
"I heard you came to deliver something?" The person inside the curtain spoke lazily through the curtain.
"Yes." Qin Si'nan took out the box.
The moment the people in the curtain saw the box, they instantly lifted the curtain and rushed over. He grabbed the box and opened it with a trembling hand. When he saw the box full of golden leaves, he was momentarily stunned, but soon recovered his composure.
Only then did Qin Si'nan see clearly that the person in front of him was a man, but he was even more handsome than a woman. His pair of peach blossom eyes faintly glowed.
"Where did you get this box from?" The man did not return to the curtain, but his voice was clearly more lonely than before.
"I dug it out when I was in the wasteland."
"Do you know that the golden leaves in this box is priceless."
"All I know is that Ruyi Square three words are engraved on this box, so I came to find its owner."
"Are you really not tempted by money?"
"No matter how valuable these things are, they aren' t mine. What I want, I' ll rely on myself to fight for them!"
After speaking, the man carefully examined the Qin Si'nan. Even though Qin Si' nan clothes were ordinary, his tone was neither servile nor overbearing. Faced with this box full of golden leaves, he only treated it as an ordinary object. The man was filled with curiosity towards Qin Si'nan.
"Thank you. My name is Xu Zi'an. "The owner of this box is my mother."
"You' re welcome. Since I' ve found its master, I' ll leave."
Xu Zi'an was even more curious about Qin Si' nan turning around and leaving. He had seen too many Zhuli people, but he had never seen such a magnanimous person.
"Wait, I still don' t know your name?"
"Qin Si'nan, my mother liked to eat pumpkin cake when she was pregnant, but she didn' t eat it either, so she gave me this name."
Xu Zi'an heard Qin Si' nan explanation, he laughed and said," Miss Qin, since you gave me this great gift, I can not let you go empty-handed. I can promise you whatever you want!"
When Qin Si'nan heard Xu Zi' an say this, his eyes suddenly lit up as he happily said," Really, is everything possible?"
Xu Zi'an saw that Qin Si' nan suddenly seemed to have changed, and felt a bit disappointed. She had originally thought that she was different from others, but she had never thought that she would be such a greedy person.
Qin Si'nan didn' t know Xu Zi'an had thought so much, but she suddenly had a good idea to make money!
###Chapter7
"Young Master Xu, when I was waiting in the restaurant, did I take a look at the furnishings in your restaurant?"
"Oh, then..." Xu Zi'an resumed his lazy tone.
"I discovered that although your shop is very large, the furnishings are very empty. Moreover, many of the styles of those jewelry are the same as those from a few years ago. The others are like new models, but the styles are too heavy. I think it's difficult for you to Mingyue County your shop here." Qin Si'nan calmly analyzed the situation.
"Oh!" Xu Zi'an raised his eyebrows, as if he was skeptical of Qin Si' nan words. Even though he knew in his heart that what Qin Si'nan said was true, ever since his mother left, Ruyi Square had not found a suitable craftsman. His craftmanship had been plummeting. However, he still didn' t know Qin Si' nan purpose, so he didn' t want to reveal his trump card.
Qin Si'nan saw that Xu Zi' an expression was calm, so he wasn' t in a rush. He only asked Xu Zi' an to bring the four treasures of the study.
This left Xu Zi'an confused, but he still sent people to pick up the items according to Qin Si' nan request. After Qin Si'nan got the brush and ink, he laid the paper on the table and began to paint.
Xu Zi'an saw Qin Si' nan start painting and did not disturb him, so he picked up a pot of wine and sat down to drink. Normally, he would drink tea, and he would always feel that drinking would be a mistake. However, today, when he accepted his mother's old possessions, he would always have a feeling of depression in his heart. He only wanted to drink quickly.
A pot of wine was soon lowered, and Qin Si'nan finished painting. She placed the paper in front of Xu Zi' an.
With a single glance, Xu Zi'an eyes lit up. Qin Si' nan only drew a hibiscus flower, but with just a few simple strokes, the flower's shape was beautiful. If he were to beat this style into a golden hairpin, it would be even more beautiful.
Qin Si'nan saw the light in Xu Zi' an eyes, he knew that her opportunity to earn money had come. Qin Si'nan was still very confident in her painting skills. After all, her embroidery was so vivid that she could draw the scenery. In addition to her extraordinary embroidery skills, a good embroidery was formed. However, ever since her father left, no one had brought back the silk embroidered cloth from the county. She had not embroidered it for a long time.
"What do you think? Young Master Xu, this model isn' t inferior to yours!"
"Miss Qin, your skills are exceptional. I won' t go around with you either. If you sell this design to me, can you offer me a price?" Xu Zi'an now needed an exquisite piece of jewelry to make Ruyi Square famous in the Mingyue County.
"Young Master Xu, how much do you think this is worth?" Qin Si'nan asked.
"One hundred taels, how about it?" The Xu Zi'an from the merchant family considered the price.
Qin Si'nan was very satisfied with this price, which greatly exceeded her expectations. With this money, the family would be able to buy a lot of things.
The two of them quickly signed the agreement, and then Qin Si'nan looked at Xu Zi' an with a spirited expression." Young Master Xu, I think you don' t just want this fine item!"
Xu Zi'an was very happy when he received this exquisite drawing, and his voice became much more cheerful." What, Miss Qin, do you mean by cooperation?"
"That's right, Young Master Xu. I still have a lot of these designs in my heart. Why don' t we sign another agreement? I' ll provide you with five unique designs every month. You give me silver monthly."
Looking at Qin Si'nan high-spirited appearance, Xu Zi' an recalled how her mother had been like this when she had designed golden leaves. He couldn' t help but agree to Qin Si' nan request.
The two of them once again signed an agreement. After that, Qin Si'nan carried a silver note and went home contentedly. Xu Zi'an had originally given him white silver, but when he heard that Qin Si' nan still had to hurry home, he sent someone to exchange for a silver note and a few more silver pieces to carry.
Qin Si'nan took the silver and walked out of the Ruyi Square's door. He first went to the cloth shop and pulled a few pieces of cloth. This color was given to Mother, and this green one was given to Qing Chen. Then, he picked two sturdy coarse cloths and brought them back to Fourth Uncle's family. He agreed with the shop owner that he would send him to the city gate later.
He went to the market to buy a lot of food, cut two kilograms of meat, and spent half a day in the market. Then, the big bag and the small bag carried something and headed towards the city gate.
Qin Si'nan thought about how to divide these things when she went home, but suddenly, she felt as if someone had followed her. She suddenly turned her head, but she didn' t see anyone behind her.
Qin Si'nan shook his head, thinking that he had probably heard wrongly and walked forward again.
However, as they walked, the footsteps behind them grew closer and closer. Qin Si'nan saw that there was a corner in front of them. With a flash, he hid inside.
However, as soon as she hid inside, someone used a dagger to hold her neck.
"Speak, where is the treasure map?" The person behind Qin Si'nan asked in a low voice.
"Treasure map, what treasure map? I don' t know!"
"Don' t pretend to be stupid. It's the box you sent Ruyi Square today. If you open the box, don' t you know?"
It turned out that he was asking about that box. However, when the box was opened by himself, there was nothing golden leaves except a box. But now, if he said that he did not know, he would be in trouble.
Qin Si'nan was still trying to answer this question when the cold sensation on his neck suddenly disappeared.
Qin Si'nan let out a long sigh of relief. As soon as he picked up the scattered items on the ground, he saw Qing Chen face appear in front of him in a daze with a look of grievance.
"Qing Chen, why are you here?"
"Wife, I' ll go wherever I go."
"Then why did you come here ……"
"That's right," Chu Feng said. ."
As soon as Qin Si'nan lowered his head, he saw Qing Chen shoe dust pouncing on him, and more than half of the soles of his shoes were worn off. He must have followed Uncle Niu carriage all the way here. It would be hard for him to catch up with the ox carriage.
Thinking like this, Qin Si'nan rubbed Qing Chen face with heartache and said," Foolish Qing Chen, don' t follow me again next time. You' ve even broken your shoes."
