Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

"Hmm, that's more like it!"

Xuexue reached out and patted her head.

"Young Master, don't pet people like that, I'm not a puppy."

"Right, you're not a puppy, you're just a bit scatterbrained."

"Why say things like that about me, I'll be very sad."

"If you don't want to be sad, then eat more walnuts."

"Why eat walnuts?"

"To nourish your brain." After tossing out that remark, Xuexue walked ahead.

Coming to her senses, Zi Xia stomped her foot and couldn't help but blurt out, "Miss, you're just bullying your maid."

After speaking, she realized she had said something wrong again, quickly covered her mouth, sneakily glanced around, and then hurriedly chased after Xuexue.

The street was lined with small vendors, all selling little items to earn some living expenses.

Although they were small merchants, their goods were a dazzling array with everything one could need.

"Young Master, buy a hairpin, I see you don't have many." At a small vendor, Zi Xia held a hairpin, looking as if she was reluctant to part with it.

This little girl obviously liked it, yet purposely asked him.

"If you want to buy it, go ahead, I don't lack hairpins."

"Oh!"

Zi Xia lowered her head to select hairpins again, suddenly feeling an unusual gaze upon her. Looking up, it was the jewelry vendor, staring at her with a strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like that!"

"N-no reason, it's just seeing a man buy women's items feels a bit odd."

"What's so strange? Can't I buy for my younger sister? Can't I buy for my older sister? Or for my mother?" Zi Xia was a bit angry and threw the hairpin back onto the stall.

Buying a hairpin feels like a household inquiry.

It made her lose interest completely.

The vendor, seeing the business slip away, became a bit anxious: "This young lad, I misspoke, don't take offense, take a look, our jewelry's quality and craftsmanship are top-notch."

"No thanks."

"Don't be angry, young lad, let me apologize, what about a discount?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Xia stopped in her tracks, as her mother taught her from a young age, if there's a bargain, seize it or you're a fool.

"How much of a discount?"

"Twenty percent off."

"No way, fifty percent off."

The vendor's face fell instantly: "Young lad, the hairpin is just one tael of Silver, if it's fifty percent off, I'll be at a loss, I need to eat too."

"Don't fool me, do you ever lose money in business?" Zi Xia was incredulous as she pulled a piece of Silver from her pocket, tossing it before the vendor: "It's agreed, you said you'd give me a discount and apologize, here's just right, five hundred wen money."

"Young lad, five hundred wen money really won't do."

"Don't lie to me, I'm familiar with this trade! This hairpin is worth at most one hundred wen money, you're brutal, daring to sell it at one tael of Silver, giving you five hundred wen, it's already flipping profits for you, you should be laughing."

The vendor was bewildered: "How are you so clear about this?"

"My family used to live off this trade, do you think I wouldn't know?"

Oh! Dear heavens! Turns out today was a lucky day, met an expert.

Fearing Zi Xia would cause a scene, the vendor didn't dare say anything more, and tucked the five hundred wen money into his pocket.

Zi Xia happily toyed with the hairpin in her hand, clearly she really liked this hairpin.

Xuexue curiously asked, "Your family used to make jewelry? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Hey, no such thing, I was just bluffing him!"
