Don't be tempted, sir

The food hadn't been served yet, and Shen Yining's hungry stomach was growling. He smiled awkwardly and explained, "I was in a hurry to go out and haven't eaten yet, haha!"

"Sir, your Sichuan tea!" The waiter put it on the table, and Song Xiaoyuan poured her a cup and poured himself a cup. Then the dishes came one after another. She bit her lips and wanted to pick up her chopsticks, but seeing that Song Xiaoyuan didn't move, she didn't move either.

Seeing that she didn't move: "Don't like it?"

"Oh no, Master Song doesn't want to eat?"

"I've eaten, you eat now!"

Shen Yining tasted the milk porridge, his pupils slightly shocked, and raised his eyes in joy, eating one bite after another. Seeing him raise his hand to take a sip of tea, Shen Yining felt a little embarrassed to eat alone, and Song Xiaoyuan picked up a piece of candied cherry and chewed it slowly: "Hmm, delicious."

Shen Yining let go now and picked up a piece of candied cherry and put it in his mouth. The cherry cooked in syrup was sweet and sour, and his tongue was filled with the delicious and soft cheese.

Because her hair was a little loose without a hairpin, her hair kept falling forward when she lowered her head to drink apricot juice. Just when she was about to give up, she saw his slender white hands holding up her loose black hair and said in a calm voice: "Eat!"

Shen Yining looked up and smiled: "Thank you!" He had almost finished eating and was about to drink tea.

Song Xiaoyuan stopped him and replaced it with a warm cup.

Shen's parents looked at the two of them like an ordinary couple, and they couldn't close their mouths in disbelief. Lord Song actually took such good care of their own daughter.

"Is Lord Song usually so gentle?"

Shen Rushan stared at him and replied, "Sir Song is indeed gentle and humble, but it's not that serious! He is busier than anyone else, so how can he have time to have dinner with me?"

The woman on the other side almost tore her handkerchief to pieces, and said angrily: "You vixen, you need someone to serve you even for a meal!"

"Yeah! Did she deliberately not put in the hairpin? She has many tricks up her sleeve."

Shen Yining finished his tea and said with satisfaction: "I'm full! Are we going to look for unpolished jade?"

"Yes, but there is one more thing!", holding out his hand to signal for her to come in! When Shen Yining went out, Song Xiaoyuan told Ah Wu not to drive after him, but to wait at the alley entrance. Shen's parents and two maids followed not far away.

Song Xiaoyuan was tall and slender, and one step of his was equivalent to two steps of the petite Shen Yining. Shen Yining hurried after him, and when she saw him put his right sleeve behind his back and slow down his pace, she was relieved to catch up. The two walked side by side, their moon-white sleeves overlapping and intertwining with their feather-colored silk shirt.

Shen Yining raised her head and looked at him, who was as gentle as jade and a little dazzling in the sun: "Does Mr. Song often go to that restaurant for dinner?"

Song Xiaoyuan tilted his head and lowered it to block the sunlight. His eyes became clear in the shadows: "I've never been there."

"Then how did Lord Song know that this restaurant is delicious!"

Seeing that he didn't answer, she said, "...We're here." and entered a jewelry store.

Shen Yining followed him in and looked around. "Is the unpolished jade here? Is it jewelry?"

"It's not here. See if there's anything you like."

“Ah! I…”

Before he finished speaking, the jewelry store manager saw that the visitor looked very impressive and took the initiative to sell him something. "What would you like to buy, sir or madam? We have the most fashionable jewelry in Beijing."

Song Xiaoyuan said without explanation: "Where is the more luxurious one?"

The store manager was delighted that this was indeed a big customer: "Sir, Madam, this way, please follow me."

Seeing that he didn't explain, Shen Yining didn't explain either and followed the store manager to a counter in the middle.

Shen's parents couldn't get too close, so they just watched from the side. The deputy store manager came forward to ask what they needed, and Shen's mother smiled and replied: "Let's take a look. By the way, what's in the middle display case?"

"It is the work of Mr. Zhu, a famous craftsman in the capital. It is also the treasure of our store, the golden hairpin with flowers and pearls! There is only one! Madam, would you like to see it?"

Mother Shen smiled and replied, "Thank you, we can just take a look here!"

The deputy store manager asked the waiter to greet Shen's parents and then went back politely. The two maids could not go in, so they stood at the door and waited.

On the hairpin is a lifelike bird inlaid with gold gems, holding a ruby ​​in its mouth, standing among golden double-petaled flowers, and decorated with gold and jade tassels that resemble petals, which is luxurious yet agile. It was the first time that Shen Yining saw such a skillfully crafted hairpin, and she thought it was very beautiful. She looked at it carefully and asked, "Shopkeeper, how did you make this bird so delicate?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed. "Madam, you really stumped me. This is Mr. Zhu's family craft. I didn't know about it...haha."

"Like it?"

Shen Yining looked at it and said, "I like it!"

Song Xiaoyuan gently arranged Shen Yining's hair bun, picked up the hairpin from the box and was about to insert it. Shen Yining stepped back, "Ah! I don't..." Before she finished speaking, the hairpin had been firmly inserted into her bun.

Song Xiaoyuan admired the look and said, "Yeah, it looks good!"

Shen Yining was embarrassed to take it off, but the shopkeeper smiled happily, "Madam, why should you reject your husband's feelings! Madam, you are as delicate as a spring flower! This golden hairpin with flowers and pearls is very lively and just right for you!"

Just as he was about to shake his hand to explain, Song Xiaoyuan asked, "Where can I pay at the store?"

The shopkeeper happily held out his hand to show the way, "This way, sir!"

Shen Yining couldn't walk too fast with Bu Yao, so he could only follow slowly, "Master Song! Master Song, I..." [I like it very much, but it's too expensive]

Song Xiaoyuan did not bring much money with him, so he asked the store owner to take the deed to the Song Mansion to get the money. The store owner did not dare to neglect it when he heard that the Song Mansion did not dare to neglect it. He politely wrote the deed and handed it to Song Xiaoyuan, "Master Song, please take a look!"

Seeing him write his name in elegant calligraphy: Song Xiaoyuan, the shopkeeper was amazed at the words [The brush and ink are as free as clouds and smoke! ] At this moment, he changed his address to "Sir Song, Miss, take care! This hairpin is the only one in the world!"

Shen Yining smiled and replied, "Thank you!" Song Xiaoyuan extended his hand to signal for a visit. Shen Yining left the store, followed by Song Xiaoyuan, and Shen's parents also quickly followed.

The shopkeeper was about to leave when two maids asked, "How much silver did the hairpin cost for the woman who just left?"

The shopkeeper politely replied, "One thousand taels of silver, the only one in the world." Then he went towards the direction of Song Mansion.

The two maids were surprised, "What a trick!"

"Yes! I have never seen one thousand taels of silver in my life!"

"Ten ingots of gold! How heavy would that be? It would crush her to death! Bah~"

The shopkeeper came to the door of the Song Mansion and knocked on the door. The doorman opened the door and asked, "Who are you?"

The shopkeeper said politely, "I am the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion, and I am here to deliver the deed and collect the payment."

The servant asked the shopkeeper to wait for a moment. After a while, the accountant came over to look at the deed. The signature was indeed from his son. Although he was puzzled, he still paid ten ingots of gold. He politely sent the shopkeeper away and took the deed to the front yard to ask Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song also didn't understand after looking at the deed, so she asked the servant to quickly invite the shopkeeper to come.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper had not gone far. When she entered the Song Mansion, she was amazed by the layout of the pavilions and waterside pavilions. Seeing Mrs. Song, she bowed and replied. When Mrs. Song heard the shopkeeper's description of "a pretty and beautiful girl", she knew it was Yi Ning. She happily went to the store with the shopkeeper to pick out some jewelry, necklaces, and earrings to match the hairpin. [This child! She has come to her senses! But not much, and I won't buy a full set.]

Who would have thought on this day that it was all a misunderstanding!
