Zhong Fengyue couldn't help chuckling when he heard this. Seeing Su Xiaoliu talking excitedly and non - stop, he couldn't help saying, "After seeing all the qins in the room, one will naturally find this one the most pleasing. Since my lady is bent on selling good and expensive qins, how could she bring out an ordinary one?"
Su Xiaoliu hugged the qin and pouted discontentedly. She glanced at him and said, "I sell qins according to the customers. For the rich, the poor and the ordinary people, I'll bring out the corresponding qins. But sometimes it also depends on their identities. If a qin enthusiast comes, even if he is very poor, I'll still recommend a good qin to him. You know, those who are crazy about the qin won't be willing to take back a shoddy one. But if a noble young master who doesn't know how to appreciate the qin comes, I'll only pick a flashy one to sell to him. I can't let the good qins be wasted." After saying that, she looked up at Zhong Fengyue. Her almond eyes were extremely vivid and charming. She hooked her lips and smiled, "Right, my lord?"
Zhong Fengyue was slightly stunned. His ink - black eyes flashed. He reached out and gently put his arm around Su Xiaoliu's waist, pulling her in front of him. He said softly, "My lady, don't treat others like this when selling qins. Otherwise, people may think you're not selling qins but..." He didn't finish the following words. There was just a fleeting, mischievous smile on his face, making him look extremely charming.
Su Xiaoliu stood there blankly, allowing him to hold her. Two pink clouds gradually appeared on her cheeks. When she came to her senses, she hugged the qin and turned around. She lowered her head and whispered, "Situ Qianyue, if I sell myself, will you still help me calculate the silver?"
Seeing Su Xiaoliu with her head down, looking depressed, Zhong Fengyue blamed himself for saying the wrong thing in his heart. He pursed his lips and said, "My lady, I said the wrong thing... How could I let others buy you?"
Su Xiaoliu turned around, raised her eyes and glanced at him. Seeing him looking at her seriously, her unhappiness vanished immediately. She stopped frowning. She gently put down the qin, walked up to him, reached out and grabbed his sleeve. Looking up at him, she said, "Situ Qianyue, you're a person in the jianghu and a member of the Tianci Cult. If you don't go back and just stay here selling qins, won't the Cult Master and the Star Master mind?" It was impossible for them not to mind. But if he left, what was the meaning of her opening this shop? The money from the Dai Mansion was enough for her to live on for a lifetime.
When it came to the Tianci Cult, Zhong Fengyue paused slightly. Then he calmly looked at her, hooked the corner of his mouth and lowered his head, saying, "I'm not selling qins. I'm just living with you."
Su Xiaoliu stared blankly at him. She moved her lips and couldn't help smiling. She couldn't help pointing at him and bending over with laughter.
Zhong Fengyue was a bit puzzled. He looked at her strangely, wondering in his heart if he had said something wrong again.
Su Xiaoliu leaned on the table while laughing. She reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes caused by laughter. It took her a while to catch her breath. She looked at Zhong Fengyue with a smile and said, "Situ Qianyue, I never expected that you could say such romantic words..."
Zhong Fengyue looked a bit wooden. His jade - like, ink - black eyes blinked.
What...
Su Xiaoliu walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, held his face and quickly kissed him on the cheek. Then she took a step back, curved her lips and said, "However, I like to hear such words."
Zhong Fengyue looked down at her. The soft touch on his face hadn't faded yet. When he came to his senses, he slowly hooked the corner of his mouth, smiling in a soul - captivating way. He slowly said, "My lady, you kissed the wrong place."
That smile was so dazzling that Su Xiaoliu didn't react for a moment.
When she finally came to her senses, Zhong Fengyue had already walked up to her. He gently lowered his head. His slender fingers gently lifted her chin, and a warm pair of lips covered hers...
Su Xiaoliu slowly widened her almond eyes. A faint fragrance wafted from his nose.
The passers - by who noticed this scene in the shop began to whisper. Some watched the show, some walked away blushing, and some left in groups while pointing and talking.
This... This was in broad daylight!
Su Xiaoliu's face instantly turned red to the roots of her hair, but Zhong Fengyue seemed not to notice at all and didn't get up.
A sound of footsteps slowly stopped, and a figure stopped at the door of the shop.
The man was wearing a dark red robe. There were red crabapple flowers embroidered on the gorgeous robe, and the cuffs were plated with delicate gold - woven patterns. A black cloak outside the robe covered his whole body, only revealing half of his fair and flawless face. His long, black hair hung in front of him. The tip of his jade - like nose glistened, and his perfect lips were a light pink - white color.
Su Xiaoliu noticed that a customer had come. She quickly took a step back, too shy to look at Zhong Fengyue's face. She lowered her head, picked up the excellent qin from the table, raised her head and looked at the visitor. For a moment, she was stunned.
How should she put it...
This customer in front of her was strangely dressed. She couldn't see his face clearly, so she had no idea whether he was a poor man, a rich man or an ordinary person. As for his identity, it was even more unclear.
She paused for a moment, then, with a determined heart, she decided to give it a try. She put on a smile, stepped forward and repeated the words she had prepared before.
"Sir, this seven - string qin is very fateful to you. Not to mention how good this qin is, just based on your attire and temperament, you must be the one who can master this qin..."
Fang Xie walked over. He seemed to be looking at Su Xiaoliu and ignored her unrefined words. He said calmly, "Let me have a look at this qin."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted. But Su Xiaoliu didn't feel angry at all. She carefully looked at the man in the black cloak. For a moment, she thought he must be extremely rich, so she didn't hesitate to hand the qin over.
Zhong Fengyue raised his eyes and sized up the visitor. Besides thinking his attire was strange, he also felt a faint sense of familiarity.
After taking the qin, a hand with long fingers stretched out from under the cloud - like sleeve. The red jade finger - ring on his thumb glistened. His fingertips gently stroked the surface of the qin, and immediately a melodious sound of the qin flowed out like a stream, orderly, gentle and clear.
Su Xiaoliu was stunned. She was even more convinced of this man's extraordinariness.
She quickly took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and flattered, "Sir, your qin - playing skills are outstanding. This qin and you are just a perfect match, like made for each other, seamless..." She wasn't good at making up fancy words. The words that came out on the spur of the moment became more and more exaggerated. Even Zhong Fengyue couldn't stand it.
Before Zhong Fengyue could interrupt, Su Xiaoliu stopped by herself. She was in a daze for a moment. She felt as if she had said such words to someone somewhere...
Fang Xie gently pressed the strings to suppress the lingering sound. His thin lips moved slightly, and he slowly said, "Ten thousand taels of gold."
Throwing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Su Xiaoliu instantly widened her almond eyes when she heard the price the customer offered.
What, what... Ten thousand taels of gold?
She only spent a hundred taels of silver when she got it from Boss Qin. But this man offered ten thousand taels of gold. Could it be that she had really got off to a good start and met a noble person?
