After school, Shen Yue walked in front of Shen Miao and said with a smile, "Today Young Lady Yi invited me and Eldest Sister to the residence and will not go back with you. Fifth Younger Sister, you should return first. "
Yi Pei Lan and Shen Yue were naturally close and only ignored Shen Miao when she sent them invitations. It was a common thing in the family. Hearing that, Shen Miao did not have much reaction and only responded with a sound.
These few days the Shen family's attitude towards Shen Miao was extremely warm and one would know that they were definitely planning something. Shen Miao was also too lazy to bother with them as the urgent matter now was naturally not these trivial matters.
On the way back, the horse carriage had to pass through the most prosperous street in the Ding capital. Gu Yu said, "In front is the Osmanthus Flower Workshop. Does not Young Lady like the flaky cakes there the most? This servant will go and buy some back."
"Go." Shen Miao said with a smile.
After Gu Yu got off the carriage, Jing Zhe opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out. When her gaze passed by a place, she made an 'yi' sound. Shen Miao followed her gaze and saw that the horse carriage stopped at the side of the Osmanthus Flower Workshop. There was a pawnshop and there were a lot of people surrounding it, as if they were arguing about something.
The pawnshop assistant seemed to be somewhat impatient and his voice was so loud that even Shen Miao could hear it clearly, "Said ten taels of silver, if you want to sell it or not! It is only a sword. Gentleman need not make things difficult for us. "
"It seems that there was no business with the shopkeeper." Jing Zhe said.
Shen Miao could also see that the pawnshop was doing business and naturally the price would be lower and it was obvious that this was an unacceptable price for the person who came to pawn but was unwilling to leave, thus there was a stalemate.
"There is nothing to see." Seeing Shen Miao shifting her gaze, Jing Zhe put down the curtain of the carriage. After a moment, Gu Yu came back with two big paper bags and Jing Zhe opened the curtain to let her in. The moment the curtain was opened, Shen Miao's gaze landed outside of the carriage and saw that the person who was arguing with the pawnshop assistant turned around and walked out of the crowd with a sword in his hand. Most likely he did not manage to close the business as his expression was somewhat dejected.
After Gu Yu got on the carriage, she wanted to close the curtain but was stopped by Shen Miao. She carefully stared at the person who was holding the sword. It was a young man who was dressed ordinarily and his looks were even more ordinary. Seeing their Young Lady staring at this strange male, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were somewhat baffled.
Shen Miao frowned. Why was this person so familiar?
The young man shook his head and sighed. He looked deeply at the sword in his bosom and clenched his teeth. He turned around and walked back to the pawnshop. It seemed that he had finally made up his mind to complete that unsatisfactory business deal.
"Guyu!" The moment he turned around, Shen Miao suddenly shouted, "Go down and stop him. Tell him that I want his sword!"
"Young Lady …" Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at her in surprise as they really did not know what Shen Miao was doing.
"Hurry!" Shen Miao said coldly.
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Yu did not dare to ask more and immediately jumped off the carriage and walked towards that young man.
Just as the young man took a step forward, he heard someone behind him say, "Young Master, please wait."
He turned around and saw a woman dressed like a maid smiling at him, "Young Master, are you going to the pawnshop to pawn your sword?"
The young man was startled, but he didn't hide it and said, "That's right."
That female continued, "Coincidentally, my Young Lady wants the sword in your hands. Is Young Master willing to make this deal?"
The young man glanced at the other party and saw that the female's expression did not seem to be fake but he still shook his head, "This sword of mine is not exquisite but it is better in terms of practicality. If your noble residence's Young Lady wants it, it is better to go to the weapon shop to forge one. " He was also surprised in his heart. How would an ordinary female be interested in these swords? It was nothing more than looking at it for fun. Unfortunately his sword was too sharp and it would not be good if he accidentally hurt himself.
Gu Yu's expression eased up slightly and her heart also sighed in admiration. This person in front of her was obviously in urgent need of money but he was still thinking of the other party. It seemed that he was an upright person. Previously when Shen Miao inexplicably wanted to buy this person's sword, she was still somewhat worried but now it seemed that the other party was not a bad person.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu's expression became softer as she said, "My Young Lady sincerely wants to make this business deal with Young Master. Young Master might as well step aside to talk. "
The other party most likely did not expect Gu Yu to be this stubborn and after glancing at the pawnshop, he helplessly nodded, "Alright."
When they reached an empty alley, one saw a horse carriage parked in the alley. Gu Yu walked to the front of the horse carriage and softly said, "Young Lady, he is here."
The young man walked to the front of the horse carriage and hesitated for a moment before finally cupping his fists, "This Young Lady, this one's sword is indeed not suitable for females to use. It is too heavy and too sharp and would easily injure oneself, so …"
"What is your name?" Before he finished speaking, a female's voice was heard from the horse carriage. This voice did not sound old but there was an indescribable feeling, as if it was a person who had experienced ups and downs of a high position, making one unable to determine the age of the person.
"This one is Mo Qing." After hesitating for a moment, the young man cupped his fists.
After this sentence, there was no response for a long time. Just when that young man called Mo Qing and Gu Yu were somewhat puzzled, a female's voice was heard from inside, "I am not interested in your sword. Broken iron to me does not have any meaning. "
Hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Mo Qing's face as he said, "Could it be that Young Lady is playing with Mo Qing? Even though this sword's quality is average, it was forged by a famous sword master and accompanied me for many years. If Young Lady called this one over just to insult, then forgive this one for not accompanying. "
Finishing, he turned around and was about to leave but just as he lifted his feet, he heard a sigh coming from the horse carriage. That sigh was light but it seemed to contain an inexplicable emotion that made one's heart clench for no reason.
"Mo Qing, you are lacking in money." The person in the horse carriage said.
Mo Qing was surprised for a moment. He did not know why but when the other person called his name, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart. That feeling was very familiar but also somewhat inexplicable. But the moment he heard the other person's words, his footsteps involuntarily stopped, as if he could not reject every word that the other person said.
"Your sword is indeed not worth mentioning to me, but your swordsmanship is worth hundreds of gold, even thousands of gold."
Mo Qing was startled for a moment before shaking his head, "Young Lady has overpraised. This one is only an ordinary person." But his heart was surprised as how did this person know that his swordsmanship was outstanding.
"A single coin stumps a hero. Even the treasured sword that accompanied you for so many years had to be sold. This kind of days is really a waste of your swordsmanship. "The curtain of the horse carriage was suddenly lifted and a purple clad young female walked out.
Her appearance was young and delicate but there was a rare noble and dignified air between her brows.
"Mo Qing, are you willing to sell all your martial arts skills to my Shen family?"
She asked with a smile and her eyes had a faint joy of meeting an old friend.
The commander of the guards in the previous life, Mo Qing, it is really … How have you been?
