Chapter 448: Buying Tang Yuan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At this moment, it was already winter. The weather in Nanhe Town was cold. Little Ah Yu was extremely happy to receive the cloth.

She originally wanted to bring these cloths home and hand them to Second Aunt. Second Aunt’s sewing skills were good, and one bolt of cloth was enough to make three sets of clothes.

She did not want to use it to make clothes anymore. When the time came, she would cut it and make more than ten soft cloth waistbands. The warm cotton on the inside would be used by the entire family.

Tang Yuan carried the bolt of cloth. Little Ah Yu was holding a wooden box with rough workmanship. It contained the rags and hair ornaments given by the shopkeeper.

Little Ah Yu tried her best to open the box and she reached out to pick out the hair ornaments.

She took out a light blue magnolia-shaped ornament.

“Big Sister Tang Yuan, this suits you very well. Why don’t you wear it for me to see?” Little Ah Yu tiptoed, wanting to put the hair ornament on Tang Yuan’s head.

Tang Yuan dodged and pursed her lips. “Little Master, it’s a waste for me to wear a hair ornament. Keep it for yourself.”

She did not like these things much either.

Although her little master and family were very generous to her and did not let her starve, she still had to know her place.

This was not something she should be wearing now. When she saved up enough money in the future, she would be able to casually buy this hair ornament without her heart aching. At that time, she would wear it.

Wearing it now was like a hen pulling off a phoenix’s tail and insisting on pretending to be a phoenix. There was no need.

Little Ah Yu did not care about this. “You look good with it. I deliberately asked the shopkeeper to give it to me just now. This color is just right for you.”

This was because Little Ah Yu noticed that Big Sister Tang Yuan’s hairpiece had not been changed for a few days.

Unlike her, Second Aunt was skilled. Her mother would make new ones for her from time to time, and her father would bring home a box of accessories for her when he came back.

Not to mention the others in the family, as long as they saw those cheap, practical, and beautiful things on the way, they would not be able to help but buy them for her.

Sometimes, because it looked good, they gritted their teeth and bought the expensive ones.

It was only because they felt that Ah Yu would look better with it.

She had new ones every day, even a few a day.

But Big Sister Tang Yuan didn’t. Although Big Sister Tang Yuan was at home, she didn’t have her family. She would be sad, right?

“It’s you, the little girl again? Hey, you brought your little master to the streets? Aiyo, you still want to trick your little master into giving you a head ornament? That’s a natural brocade, right? Your identity is not worthy of wearing it.”

On the way home, a person suddenly appeared, followed by two servants and a little attendant.

That person looked to be 16 or 17 years old. He clearly looked like a young man, but he was wearing dark purple clothes. The material of the clothes looked sturdy. There was a golden belt on his waist and he was wearing dark blue boots. He was dressed a little old-fashioned.

Tang Yuan instantly took two steps forward and protected Little Ah Yu behind her. When she looked at the person, her gaze was very calm. “Thank you for your reminder, Young Master Qi. I’ll remember it.”

The young man called Young Master Qi chuckled and said, “If you really want to thank me, come and be my maidservant. You didn’t agree the last time I called you, so you missed a good opportunity. My mother has already arranged a new concubine for me. There’s no room for you.”

Now, Tang Yuan was only 11 years old, but she knew what concubines meant.

Little All Yu raised her neck and her two little hair buns appeared from behind Tang Yuan’s body. She asked softly, “Big Sister Tang Yuan, what’s a concubine?”

[Cough, cough, cough! 1 Meatbail had just found out the meaning of this word from the Comparison Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Words and hurriedly pretended to cough.

Chi Tu was also prepared. He held a stone in his hand and aimed at the young man’s mouth.

If that young man did not know etiquette and spouted nonsense, his mouth would inevitably be swollen.

“Children shouldn’t interfere in adults’ matters,” the young man said loudly.

Chi Tu’s fingers that were holding the stone relaxed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Little Ah Yu raised her chin and said indignantly, “I’m not a child. I’m already four years old!”

“I don’t care if you’re four or five years old. I’ve taken a fancy to your maidservant. Go back and tell your adults to sell her to me. How much did you pay for her back then? I’ll pay double.” The youth smiled and said, “You can use the extra money to buy better cloth and candy..”
