Hu Miaomiao only slept for half an hour, then had several nightmares, and finally woke up with a fright.
Because she was still a little confused when she first woke up, and she couldn't see Qi Mao anywhere, so she wandered out.
Sure enough, Qi Mao was still hammering, and the sound she heard was not a dream.
Hu Miaomiao yawned, feeling weak all over, and hugged the rough man who was blacksmithing from behind.
Qi Mao froze, turned around slightly and asked, "Are you awake so soon?"
"I had a nightmare." Hu Miaomiao felt aggrieved and rubbed his back a few times, "Brother Mao, I dreamed that you beat me and sold me to someone else."
Qi Mao smiled and said that she was overthinking. After all, she was so charming and couldn't even kiss her with just her mouth. How could he possibly sell her?
"But, you said you were going to take a nap with me, but you secretly ran out to strike iron without asking me to get up." The more Hu Miaomiao talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she kept rubbing against his back.
Qi Mao was so aroused by her that he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop rubbing against me, I can't even make iron!"
"do not do it……"
Qi Mao was angry and funny. Why didn't he know before that this woman loved to act coquettishly? She was like a piece of maltose, but he didn't feel bored and even enjoyed it.
Suddenly, the man from the blacksmith shop ran in. When he saw Hu Miaomiao hugging Qi Mao, he immediately covered his eyes, feeling inexplicably shy.
Hu Miaomiao felt even more shy and immediately let go of Qi Mao, her eyes wandering.
"What's the matter?" Qi Mao asked.
The young boy said eloquently: "Master, two distinguished guests came to the store and fell in love with the Longquan Sword. However, because I don't have enough silver, I would like to ask if I can owe ten taels of silver first and make up for it tomorrow."
"Longquan Sword" is Qi Mao's favorite work. The sword is eight feet long. The sword body is as cold as ice and can break gold and jade. It has been hanging in the shop for half a month. Although people often ask for it, it has been sold out because of the price. It’s expensive and no one can afford it yet.
Nowadays, it is difficult for customers to afford it, but there is a little money difference, and the boy can't make the decision, so he comes to ask Qi Mao what he wants.
Hu Miaomiao was bored, so she immediately volunteered: "Brother Mao, I'm going to greet the guests!"
Before she finished speaking, she ran out immediately, and Qi Mao couldn't even shout.
At this time, the two noble gentlemen were waiting. After hearing the footsteps, they both looked over.
The next moment, a light and beautiful figure burst in. She was not very old, but she had a fairy-like appearance, her eyes were as clear as water, like a deer in the forest, and her every smile was very delicate.
The two of them stared at her blankly, their hearts seemed to have been hit hard, and they were beating very fast in an instant.
"Are you here to buy the Longquan Sword?" Hu Miaomiao took the initiative to greet them when he saw them dumbfounded.
"Oh, yes, it's raining. I want to buy this Longquan Sword, but I'm still ten taels short of silver. Can I give it a day's grace?"
The person who spoke was as tall as a jade tree and was wearing a long blue gown. He had an aura of nobility that could not be cultivated by someone from a small family.
The other person also had an extraordinary temperament. He was holding a folding fan, and his gestures were a little more bohemian. He said, "Xue Bufang, I have met the girl."
Hu Miaomiao nodded, wondering if she had kept their words in mind. All she could think about was completing this deal, which made Qi Mao look at her with admiration.
"I can put the sword away and you can come back tomorrow to buy it."
Du Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, we have to say goodbye to our friend today, and we want to give him the sword today."
Hu Miaomiao thought for a while and felt that the two of them seemed to be not short of money, so she didn't have too many worries and said, "It's okay, but what if you run away?"
"I come from the Du family in Fuzhou. This is my personal jade pendant, so I'll keep it with you for now."
Hu Miaomiao took the jade pendant and saw that it was very expensive and cost more than ten taels of silver, so she agreed.
At this time, Xue worried and joked: "Girl, we don't know you and we don't know where you live. If you run away, aren't we exaggerating?"
"I won't run away! My name is Hu Miaomiao. I live next to the big banyan tree in the east of the city. I am a very good person!"
The two of them were slightly stunned, as if they didn't expect her thoughts to be so simple, so they couldn't help but smile.
"It turns out to be Miss Hu, we are polite!"
Hu Miaomiao smiled sweetly and saluted them.
Seeing her beauty, Xue Bufang couldn't help but think about it and said with a smile: "Miss Hu, thank you very much today. We will personally give you the money tomorrow and thank you in person."
Immediately, Xue Bufang put the packages of preserved fruits he bought on the table, "Miss Hu, I'm being careful, please accept them."
"No, I can't take your stuff." Hu Miaomiao quickly postponed and asked him to take the preserved fruit back quickly.
At this time, Du Yu had something to say: "Miss Hu, we don't like to eat preserved fruit. If you don't want it, we will throw it away. It would be a waste."
Hu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, still feeling that something was not right, but she said it out loud and stopped thinking about it.
Soon, the boy wrapped up the Longquan Sword.
Hu Miaomiao took the money bag and stared at the white money inside.
Wow, it turns out that five hundred taels is so much money. Brother Mao is really amazing.
Because he wanted to claim credit, after saying goodbye to the two of them, Hu Miaomiao immediately ran to the yard and shouted: "Brother Mao, look, Longquan Sword has been sold, and we are rich!"
"Get rich?"
Qi Mao smiled, but he didn't expect that she was still a little money addict.
Immediately, Qi Mao asked about the situation. After learning that Hu Miaomiao had accepted Du Yu's personal jade pendant, asked for their preserved fruits, and told him where he lived, his expression suddenly changed.
Hu Miaomiao didn't realize it at all, and kept talking excitedly: "Brother Mao, they said they would send the money tomorrow. I think they are good people and will not break their promise."
"Good people? Do you know them? How do you know they are good people?" Qi Mao interrupted her with a cold face.
Because Qi Mao's face was so ugly, Hu Miaomiao, no matter how stupid he was, noticed something was wrong and said carefully: "They don't look like bad people, and they also gave me the jade pendant."
"Haha, Hu Miaomiao, you are so awesome, you can even accept a man's personal jade pendant."
She even told her which family she was from and where she lived. It should be said that she was too stupid, but she was still too naive.
Can't she see the two men's blatant overtures? Or is it that she has such an indifferent attitude towards men and women?
Qi Mao's face was gloomy, and he stopped looking at her and began to strike again, but he dropped the hammer with extra force, as if he was venting the anger in his heart.
Hu Miaomiao was confused, her face turned a little pale, and she asked in a low voice: "Brother Mao, are you angry?"
"Bang bang bang..."
The only answer she received was the dull sound of iron striking.
Hu Miaomiao became even more panicked and asked again, but Qi Mao still didn't speak and seemed to be sulking alone.
At this time, Hu Miaomiao was also angry. He felt that he was inexplicably angry. He was obviously very happy just now, but now he suddenly became angry.
"Okay, if you prefer to talk or not, then I won't ask!"
Hu Miaomiao held back her tears, buried her head and rushed out.
