Chapter 2262: Wind and Love 05
Although I haven’t found my hairpin yet, with Meng Xiangdong around, I’m not afraid of that bastard swallowing my hairpin.
Besides, it’s just a hairpin. How can it be more important than catching a Water Bandit’s spy?
Feng Yingying giggled, as if she could already see the moment her parents would look at her in a new light.
"Pearl hairpins, pearl hairpins, come and take a look! Guaranteed to be both beautiful and affordable!"
The cries of the vendors caught Feng Yingying’s attention. Since she lost a hairpin, she might as well buy a new one to wear.
"Boss, how much is this hairpin?" Feng Yingying picked up a hairpin with pearl-embedded round petals and admired it with great liking.
"This one is Five taels of silver. If the young lady likes it, I can give you a discount! Just look at the quality of these pearls. These are pearls from our very own Yunshui Town Pearl Breeding Factory!"
The boss was a smooth talker, but what he didn’t know was that the young lady radiating nobility before him was the Young Master of Yunshui Town Pearl Breeding Factory!
Whether the pearls were from her own factory, Feng Yingying could tell at a glance. She casually placed the hairpin back: "Pfft, you dare claim these crappy pearls are from Yunshui Town’s factory? Ha, if Mrs. Yun finds out, do you think she’d come over with a club to smash your stall?"
Yun Shu’s fierce reputation was well-known in the nearby towns. Her past deed of bravely storming the Bandits’ Death Island alone was still a favorite tale even after more than a decade.
The boss immediately started sweating, awkwardly laughing: "Miss, please don’t joke. Mrs. Yun is too busy to care about my little stall. By the way, I heard an envoy from Dayong has arrived. It seems Mrs. Yun is busy receiving them!"
Did someone from Dayong really come?
Feng Yingying immediately thought of the bastard who stole her hairpin and tied her up with a whip. Her expression turned ugly. But now it’s fine, she’s already taken revenge and locked that bastard up!
"Alright, alright, I know perfectly well what Mrs. Yun is up to! Don’t change the subject, just give me an honest price. If it weren’t for the novelty of your hairpin’s craftsmanship, I wouldn’t bother talking to you this much."
The boss saw that Feng Yingying was a savvy expert and didn’t dare to ask for more than was fair, so he offered a price: "Miss, you’re spot on. While the pearls might not be top-grade, the design is nice! How about this, it’s my good luck for my hairpin to catch your eye, one tael of silver, just one tael and the hairpin is yours, how’s that?"
In just a few words, he dropped the price from Five taels of silver down to one tael. Who knows how many naive young girls he’s swindled under the Yunshui Town Pearl Breeding Factory’s name.
Feng Yingying rolled her eyes but ultimately couldn’t bear to put the hairpin down. As she reached for her purse, she remarked: "The pearls from Yunshui Town are renowned throughout Dongling. Not just Dongling, even the royal families of Dayong and Xiliang come from afar to buy them! Don’t go around cheating people under the name of Yunshui Town pearls anymore. If I catch you lying again, I’ll surely... huh?"
Feng Yingying’s hand paused in mid-air, her expression suddenly tense.
Where did her purse go? It was clearly hanging at her waist just now, so how did it suddenly disappear?
