Shen Qiyin pointed in the direction of Zhuijin Hall.

Shen Yaozu was puzzled.

Honeysuckle then "deciphered the secret" for him and said, "Second Master, don't misunderstand. It's not that my young lady doesn't want to go, but that the old lady won't let her."

Shen Yaozu mentioned this matter that night, and Shen Qiyin brought it up the next day when he went to pay his respects to the old lady.

She said that she needed some money to buy medicinal herbs to treat Aunt Zheng's injuries, but was rejected on the spot by Old Madam Shen.

You can't blame her for that.

Shen Yaozu's brows furrowed, and he was obviously displeased.

Just as he was about to say something else, Shen Qiyin suddenly handed him a piece of paper.

He opened it with full of doubts, but in a moment, the doubts in his eyes were replaced by ecstasy.

"Yin'er, you are worthy of me!" He was like a madman: "Good, good, good!"

He said "OK" three times in a row and left laughing.

Aunt Zheng and the like had long been thrown behind his neck.

As soon as Shen Yaozu left, Shen Qiyin threw the hairpin together with the box of rouge.

After resting for a day in the mansion, Shen Qiyin felt much better when he went to Guangrentang the next day, but his throat still hurt. He continued to stay silent if possible, and when he had to speak, Chunsheng would speak for him.

Da Zhuang and San Wa went up the mountain to collect herbs, leaving only her, Chun Sheng, and a dog, Ah Huang, in the clinic.

There were not many patients today, and most of them came just to get medicine. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she went to Qingyin Pavilion again.

When she was almost there, she saw an "acquaintance" not far away.

Feng Ruoying!

There was a little sister of similar age beside him, and the two of them walked towards this side, talking and laughing.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Qiyin stepped into Qingyin Pavilion.

All the musical instruments in the world can be found here.

The dazzling array of items is dizzying.

Shen Qiyin walked straight to the place where the flutes were displayed and picked up a brown flute.

This flute is called Yuping flute.

Although the name contains the word "玉", it is actually a bamboo flute made from the best water bamboo in Yongzhou. The body of the flute is carved with cursive, official and regular scripts, which is fluent and elegant.

Its sound is mellow and pure, and it is the best among all flutes.

"The shopkeeper..."

"Shen Qiyin!"

A sudden voice interrupted Shen Qiyin's words.

She turned her head and saw that it was Feng Ruoying leading her little sisters to "attack" over.

Seeing the other party's aggressive look, Shen Qiyin thought she was going to fight, but Feng Ruoying actually said: "If I meet you today, I don't see where you can hide!"

"I advise you to tell me as soon as possible. What are you hiding from me?"

Shen Qiyin: “…” No, she still remembers it?

When she used this trick to disgust Feng Ruoying, she thought it would be powerful, but she didn't expect it to be this powerful!

It's been so many days, and she's still thinking about it?

Seeing Shen Qiyin's look of "Is this person sick?", Feng Ruoying immediately got angry, grabbed her wrist, came in front of her and threatened her fiercely: "If you don't tell me today, don't even think about leaving this door!"

It’s just that the voice was not loud and lacked some momentum.

Shen Qiyin frowned and leaned back.

Feng Ruoying felt that she was afraid, and smiled mischievously: "Want to run?"

"No." Shen Qiyin's brows tightened, and he raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose: "Your breath smells so bad, it's irritating."

Shen Qiyin spoke seriously, without any pretense, which caused the shopkeeper of Qingyin Pavilion nearby to couldn't help but sneak a glance at Feng Ruoying's mouth.

If Shen Qiyuin's words were very hurtful to Feng Ruoying, then the shopkeeper's look was also very insulting to her.

What a shame!

"You...you, you..." She pointed at Shen Qiyin and kept saying "you" for a long time but no one came up with a follow-up word.

However, whenever she opened her mouth to speak, Shen Qiyin would frown and back away, which made her even angrier.

But Feng Ruoying's fighting ability was no match for her temper. In the end, she became so angry that her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Qiyin said sympathetically, "Hey, don't cry."

"Are you afraid that I'll cry?"

"Well, I laughed out loud because I was afraid you would cry too ugly."

"you……"

Feng Ruoying tried to fight again and again despite repeated defeats, but was stopped by a woman in red beside her, who advised her softly, "Forget it, Ying'er, why bother condescending to engage in these verbal disputes?"

This is interesting to say.

Shen Qiyin looked at her twice more unconsciously.

Different from Feng Ruoying's cute and coquettish appearance, that woman was charming and enchanting.

She has a long face, black hair, and piled up cloud-like temples, with only a red thread tied around her hair, which is quite remarkable.

Thanks to the memories of his previous life, Shen Qiyin remembered that her name was Xie Qing, and she was Feng Ruoying's cousin.

After the Xie family fell into decline and her parents died, she was taken in by her uncle Feng Yuan to live in the Minister's mansion permanently.

After hearing what Xie Qing said, Shen Qiyin rarely responded, but just said, "That's right, you should leave quickly, don't delay me from shopping here."

"Funny! What valuable things can you buy?"

Shen Qiyin ignored her and continued choosing the flute.

Seeing this, Feng Ruoying's eyes flashed with calculation. She pointed at the Yuping flute that Shen Qiyin had just chosen and said to the shopkeeper, "Pack this flute for me!"

Shen Qiyin narrowed his eyes and said, "I was the first one to see this flute."

"You chose it first? Did you pay for it?"

"The deposit was paid yesterday."

"Ha!" Feng Ruoying sneered: "It's just a deposit, I'll return it to you."

Shen Qiyin refused: "I just want the flute."

"But I won't give in. What can you do to me?" These are what Shen Qiyin once said to her. Now she has returned it in full, and she feels so happy.

She was sure that Shen Qiyin could not do anything to her, but she did not expect that the latter would reply very calmly: "What? Report to the police."

Feng Ruoying was immediately confused: "What official should I report to?!"

"You are bullying people by taking advantage of your power and oppressing innocent people." Shen Qiyin took out a document from his sleeve, which was written when he paid the deposit for the flute yesterday: "This flute has been reserved for me. If you insist on buying it by force, then we can only go to the court."

"It would be best to make a big fuss about it and let the officials in the Censorate know about it. Then we can accuse Minister Feng of the crime of indulging his daughter in bullying others."

She picked up the flute and played with it, waving it in front of Feng Ruoying mischievously, and asked her provocatively, "How is it? Do you want to buy it again?"

"If you don't buy it, I'll have to pay the remaining money."

Feng Ruoying was so angry that her teeth were itching.

But she didn't dare to implicate her father because of a momentary anger, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Xie Qing suddenly stood up and said softly, "Ying'er just said it casually. I really don't understand why the young lady is so aggressive."

"Why don't you try to shake the water out of your brain? Maybe you can figure it out."

"you……"

A beautiful woman with a hint of anger is still beautiful.

Since coming to Beijing, Xie Qing has met countless women, and some of them are difficult to deal with. However, when they argue, the harshest curse they can get out of their mouths is just "You are shameless!"

I have never seen someone like Shen Qiyin who can hurt others, making people not know what to say when they want to retort.

What she said just now was originally intended to give Shen Qiyin a reputation of being sarcastic and unreasonable, but she didn't expect that she was not swayed by her words at all. It was really like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain herself clearly.

But I have already spoken, and it would be cheap to stop here.

So, Xie Qing said again: "If the young lady is so rude, then we don't have to give in."

"You made a good choice for this flute, but what if the owner suddenly changes his mind and doesn't want to sell it anymore?"

When the shopkeeper heard that, he immediately waved his hands and said, "No way! Who said I don't want to buy it!" What a joke, it's okay to go back and forth to ruin his business!

A crack appeared on Xie Qing's almost perfect smile.

But she still tried to remain calm and asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this flute?"

"Seventy taels."

"I want twice as much. I wonder if the shopkeeper is willing to sell it to me?"

"Sell!"

The shopkeeper immediately switched sides.

Without saying a word, he quickly arranged for his men to pack it for her, then turned to Shen Qiyin and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen, look at this... I run this small business just to make money, I'll return the ten taels of deposit to you, please be merciful and don't let the officials cut off my source of income."

Hearing this, Xie Qing looked at Shen Qiyin with a smile, like a winner: "Now, girl, do you have anything else to say?"
