Based on the memories of Qin Shuang's arrival in Tianqin Town, she walked to the entrance of a smelting shop. The shop owner Zhang Jiaxun saw Qin Shuang standing in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on his face as he said:

"It's your Royal Highness Princess. What can I do for you?"

The words were respectful, but the expression showed no hint of respect.

Qin Shuang bowed to Zhang Jiaxun and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm here to buy something

Oh? "Zhang Jiaxun's face immediately showed a friendly smile as he said," You can go in and pick it yourself. Once you have it, bring it over and the young man will settle the bill for you

Thank you

Go ahead! "Zhang Jiaxun smiled and waved his hand. But he didn't even lift his butt up.

Qinshuang walked into the store and searched around. After a while, she came to Zhang Jiaxun with three carving knives and said:

Mr. Zhang, how much do these three carving knives cost each

Zhang Jiaxun glanced at the three carving knives with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he still smiled and said:

The left carving knife costs one hundred taels of silver, the right carving knife costs twenty taels of silver, and the middle carving knife costs five taels of silver

Oh

Qinshuang nodded and walked into the store with a carving knife. This time, Jiaxun did not sit on the chair watching the scene on the street, but stared at Qinshuang's back with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Fifteen minutes later, Qinshuang came to Zhang Jiaxun with three types of jade and asked softly, "Mr. Zhang, how much does each of these three types of jade cost

Zhang Jiaxun had already seen the choice of qin pairs and immediately spoke up, "These three types of jade are divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. A top-grade jade requires 300 taels of silver, a medium one requires 80 taels, and this lower grade one also requires 35 taels

Qin Shuang pointed to the 35 taels of jade and asked, "Mr. Zhang, can this jade be cut into more than ten pieces

Zhang Jiaxun examined the piece of jade and said, "Hmm, it can be cut into fifteen pieces

How much does it cost? "Qin Shuang asked nervously, her silver was really not much.

Zhang Jiaxun glanced at Qinshuang and felt a significant difference in temperament from the Seventh Princess he had met before. With a slight smile in his heart, he said:

Never mind, let me cut it for you for free, little old man

Qin Shuang exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang

As he spoke, he took out forty taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Jiaxun, saying, "Boss Zhang, this is forty taels of silver. I also need that carving knife

Well, Princess Seven, wait here. The little old man will go and cut the jade for you

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the piece of jade and walked into the inner room. Qin Shuang returned the two pieces of jade to the counter, then held the five taels of silver carving knife in his hand and sat on the chair at the door waiting for Zhang Jiaxun.

In about 25 minutes, Zhang Jiaxun came out of the room and handed Qin Shuang a cloth bag, saying, "It's all here, take a look

Qin Shuang opened the cloth bag and saw fifteen neatly arranged jade pieces placed inside. He happily stood up from the chair and smiled at Zhang Jiaxun, saying:

Thank you, Boss Zhang, I'm leaving

Welcome back! "Zhang Jiaxun happily sat down on the chair and waved his hand towards Qinshuang.

Qin Shuang also put the carving knife into the cloth bag, then put the bag into his arms and walked excitedly towards his home.

Just as he ran back to the gate of the mansion, he saw a young man standing in front of it, about fifteen years old. Seeing Qin Shuang come in, he quickly ran over with a smile on his face and called out:

Princess, you're back

This young man was born one head taller than Qin Shuang, with a slightly handsome appearance and dressed in the attire of a scholar boy. Qin Shuang quickly pondered in his mind and remembered that the young man in front of him was the scholar boy of the third son of the Li family in Tianqin Town.

The third son of the Li family is a person with poor cultivation qualifications, so he abandoned martial arts and studied literature very early. The young man in front of me is Li Yan, the bookboy of Li Wenhai.

After arriving in Tianqin Town, Li Yan was one of the few friends who had good intentions towards Qin Shuang. Li Yan was two years older than Qin Shuang and took good care of her. Knowing that Qinshuang is greedy, he often saves some delicious food from his own mouth and secretly gives it to Qinshuang.
