Chapter 1021: Lang Riding a Bamboo Horse ()
"Little girl, do you want to buy any ironware?" A man's voice came from the shop entrance.
Ning Yun turned around and saw a tall man walking in.
The man had a cloth tied on his head, a half-sleeved vest on his body, and a "black cloth" apron on the outside.
Dressed like a coolie but with the temperament of an aristocratic family, this man looks extremely contradictory.
Perhaps because he often stunned people, Xue Yao asked again, "Little girl, are you looking for some ironware?"
Xue Yuan, who was in the inner room, heard his father's voice. He quickly opened the door curtain and came out: "Dad, why are you here so early today?"
"The wine you drank yesterday wasn't enough to make me drunk, so I woke up early and came here earlier!" Xue Yao said with a smile, "How could you leave the guests outside like this?
I've told you countless times that what you're doing is the same as driving customers away."
"I didn't!" Xue Yuan denied reflexively, but he immediately realized that his voice was too high, so he quickly bowed to Ning Yun using the posture his father had taught him, and apologized, "Sister Ning, I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now!"
"It's okay!" Although Ning Yun felt that the father and son were a little strange, she didn't say much. She just came to get a tool. "Just have you found my brother's tool box?"
Xue Yuan's face flushed, and then he explained, "Wait a moment. I clearly remember putting the box on the shelf after I repaired it a few days ago. I don't know why I can't find it now."
"Box?" Xue Yao turned his head and asked, "But there's a wooden box with brass decorations on it?"
"Father, did you see it?" Xue Yuan asked immediately, "Inside that are the tools that the eldest brother of the Ning family asked me to repair. Did you touch anything inside?"
"Nothing!" Xue Yao stood up and walked towards the counter. Then he squatted down and took out the box from a compartment inside. "Here!"
Knowing that his son might scold him, Xue Yao chose to take the initiative: "After you repair the things yourself, you should put the box at the pick-up area instead of leaving it on the shelf casually.
It's on the third floor, and if it gets knocked down, your repairs will be in vain. Your wages won't matter, but if it delays the customer's business, it will be bad."
Xue Yuan nodded repeatedly, then took the box from his father Xue Yao's hand and turned around to give it to Ning Yun.
"Thank you!" Ning Yun handed the bill to Xue Yuan. "Here! My brother said the bill has been settled. Please check it!"
Xue Yuan took the order, said "OK", and put it in the drawer of the counter without even looking at it.
Seeing this, Xue Yao immediately realized that his son Xue Yuan was not normal today. He looked like he had drunk a love potion and seemed to have intentions towards the girl. Wasn't this kid too precocious? He was only eleven years old and already had such thoughts.
Alas! It must be like his biological father who has been a playboy since childhood. It has absolutely nothing to do with him.
In fact, from the outside, Xue Yao and Xue Yuan don't look like father and son.
One has cold white skin, the other has dark skin.
Although both are very strong, Xue Yao is tall and thin, while Xue Yuan is tall and strong.
I believe that in a few years, Xue Yuan will be taller than Xue Yao.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Ning Yun. After saying goodbye to the Xue family father and son, she went to deliver tools to her brother Ning Xiu.
"What a pity! This girl looks good, I wonder what her future will be like?" After the people walked away, Xue Yao suddenly said this.
Xue Yuan was still wondering if he could run into Ning Yun tomorrow when he went to buy almond tea. When he heard his father's words, he instantly became unhappy: "Dad, what are you talking about! You don't even know her identity, so why are you cursing her?"
"Although I don't know her identity, I can tell her age!" Xue Yao said confidently, "You just called her sister, so she must be over eleven years old. Judging from her bun, she must not have reached the age of marriage."
"So what?" Xue Yuan said unhappily, "You are still young and in your prime years, why are you sighing?"
It turns out that Xue Yao is not an ordinary blacksmith. He is actually a weapons caster, and quite famous at that.
Among those who came to him to forge weapons because of his reputation, there were people of noble status. The day before yesterday, when he was chatting with the guest, he mentioned that the current emperor was interested in holding a selection of concubines.
"Actually, the girls from aristocratic families are not so bad. Most of them can be paired with someone, or if they are not chosen, they will return home!" The guest sighed. "The girls chosen from the common people are miserable. Most of them will stay in the palace as maids."
When Xue Yao heard this, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had a son. If it was a girl, he would have to find a marriage for her as soon as possible.
"How could this happen?" Xue Yuan immediately became anxious after hearing the news revealed by his father. "Sister Ning, how can you do the work of serving others? I once heard the eldest brother of the Ning family mention that Sese is very favored at home.
Her parents and brothers all treat her like a treasure. If she enters the palace, she won’t know when she’ll be able to leave. If she makes a mistake, she’ll be beaten with a stick!
"Sese?" Xue Yao asked doubtfully, "Is that the nickname of the little girl just now?"
