Lan Yuxiang looked at the jade token presented to him with both hands, his eyes dim. This was already the third time. Did his promise really make her avoid it?
"Hey, sir, I didn't get the jade medal!"
Ye Yun didn't expect that he would just throw away his sleeves and leave without any intention of taking the jade token.
After two steps, he looked at the hot potato in his hand and shook his head helplessly.
"That's all, it's better not to use it until it's absolutely necessary. Just stuff it back when we see you again."
The first batch of customers broke through the morning fog and walked into the bookstore.
Ye Yun was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor. The tailor shop next door had not yet made a name for itself. Only some people saw the wooden models and walked in curiously to inquire.
Ye Wan went to the only leaky kettle in the town where the hour could be read, looked at the hour and came back hurriedly.
"Mom, please watch first. I will take the patterns to the Huang Mansion and let Miss Huang choose the one she likes."
"When I come back, you can go to the bookstore to help my little sister."
She wrapped the pattern in cloth, got a response from her mother, and went out.
The first business of the ready-made clothing store was because Miss Huang was thinking about her little sister's life-saving grace, so she specially brought the grain merchant Wei's family and the daughter of the county government to take care of the business.
People mean well, so she has to do her best to make something they like and suit them.
As long as this business is successful, it will be a sign, and no one will come to make ready-made clothes.
Ye Wan was calculating, her fighting spirit burning in her heart, and without paying attention, she bumped into a solid chest, knocking her straight back.
Then he was firmly held by a hand, which prevented him from falling to the ground.
Ye Wan apologized hurriedly, and at the same time bent down to pick up the cloth bag that fell on the ground. Next to the cloth bag were two pitiful nests of wotou, which made her feel even more guilty.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too careless. I'll pay you for the loss."
She looked up and found that Scholar Junxiu, who picked up the wowotou and shook his head repeatedly to express that he was fine, looked familiar.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm at fault too. I didn't pay attention when walking. Hey, you?"
Scholar Junxiu patted the dirt off his head, looked at her slightly surprised, and then said suddenly.
"You are a family member of Dr. Ye and the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper of the clothing store, right? It's okay, you don't have to worry about it."
"Yes, but compensation should be paid."
Ye Wan also recognized him as the Junxiu scholar who pointed out the fakes that day. He was an upright scholar.
She trotted to the side and bought some steamed buns for him, then left and continued to the Huang Mansion.
Don't give him a chance to say no.
Scholar Junxiu couldn't refuse, so he had to take four steamed buns. When he saw her walking away, he turned around helplessly and wanted to leave.
The owner of the Wowotou stall pointed to a pink handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms on the ground and called him to stop.
"Sir, when the girl was taking out the money just now, she dropped her handkerchief. I guess you know her, right?"
"I recognize it. Thank you very much. I'll take it back to her right now."
Scholar Junxiu was worried about how to thank her for her apology, so he picked it up and chased her in the direction where Ye Wan had just gone.
He kept apologizing to others along the way, and finally saw Ye Wan's dark green figure not far away.
Two beggar children stopped her, and without knowing what to say, they were led into an alley.
The scholar trotted over and saw the dark green skirt quickly disappearing around the corner of the alley.
He hurriedly chased after him, but there was no one in sight. The cloth bag Ye Wan was holding just now fell on the ground.
"It's broken. It must have been kidnapped by someone."
Scholar Junxiu turned around and ran to the bookstore without stopping, forced his way through the people in line, and took out his handkerchief.
He didn't dare waste time to relax his rapid breathing and finished speaking in one breath.
"Owner of the handkerchief, something happened to the owner of your sister's tailor shop. She was taken into the alley by two beggar children and then disappeared."
