Rebirth of the General’s Granddaughter Chapter 27 The First Encounter at the Market
Wang Yiping, this time I must protect Shi Yun and not let her be defiled by your beast of a brother . I want to see how you would send Yan Hong to me?
But that wicked servant, I would find a way to get her to be on my side .
Wang Yiping, I would let you experience what it means to have your own means used against you . I would definitely let you experience the wonderful taste of being betrayed by one of your own people .
After thinking about all that she did to Shi Yun, Zi You felt guilty .
Looking at her own servant girls pointing to the street stalls, the handmade clay-people figures, concentric knots, kites, paper cut-outs, embroidery, and masks, she couldn’t help but softly said, “You guys take a look . Whatever you like, I will buy for you . ”
The four girls heard, gratefully looked at Zi You, and embarrassedly shook their heads .
Indeed, since their Xiaojie [Young Lady, Miss] recovered from her illness, she was very good to them . Not to mention the food or jewelry she bestowed on them, she also taught them to read and learn martial arts . She was amiable and never lost her temper .
The really liked this kind of Xiaojie . Although the old Xiaojie would reward them, her eyes when she looked at them held a scornful contempt .
But now Xiaojie treated them like relatives . Her warm and soft eyes seemed to be able to see straight into their hearts .
Seeing someone kneading flour dough figures, the four girls and Zi You went over .
The person making dough figures was a nearly sixty-year-old man, dressed in shabby clothes, sitting in front of ragged bamboo baskets .
Picking up some flour dough, he rubbed and knead and used a small bamboo knife to cut and carve a body, face, hands, hair and clothing . Instantly, an artistic lifelike figure was completed .
Zi You looked at the old man’s thin and helpless hands and her eyes dimmed . She asked softly, “This elder, can you make figures of us five?”
What a beautiful voice! It was like an Oriole singing . The old man looked up in amazement and was stunned when he saw Zi You .
The little girl in front of him had eyes like two deep purple crystals in clear waters . They were clear and bright . The corner of her eyes lightly swept upwards .
She was wearing a pale blue dress, with a noble temperament . Her skin was white like snow, similar to a lotus breaking through the surface of water: beautiful .
The old man didn’t speak . He put down the work in his hand and picked up new dough . He started kneading and pretty soon a dough figure resembling Zi You was created .
Zi You found it strange . She was wearing a hat, with only her eyes revealed . A veil covered the rest of her face below the eyes . This old man could depict her cold and noble temperament so closely . Even her high tiny nose and petal-like lips were very similar .
Zi You was amazed . Commoners were really hidden tigers, crouching dragons . A humble craftsman was actually a master of sculpture .
Zi You couldn’t bear to put it down and hadn’t yet spoken in admiration before someone snatched the dough figure away . “This dough figure, Ye [Lord] wants . How much money?”
The voice resembled a duck’s voice, due to the man changing his voice .
This man knew martial arts and he was a better martial artist than herself . Zi You immediately realized these two points . Because this person’s movements were fast as lightning, as soon as she realized someone came over, the dough figure in her hand was already snatched away . She didn’t have any time to react . No wonder Grandfather was not reassured to let her go out by herself . Before exchanging moves, she already lost the first opportunity . Indeed, in the world there were people better than oneself . Knowledge was endless, as was martial arts . It seemed she still needed to work hard!
