C111 Buying Candied Fruits

The clerk carefully counted the amount before handing the stack of banknotes to Sikou Nianxi. After confirming that there was no mistake, the shop assistant respectfully handed the stack of banknotes to Sikou Nianxi.

Sikou Nianxi took the stack of banknotes and flipped through a few of them with her. She nodded and hid the banknotes in her bosom.

The shopkeeper came over with a smile and said to Sikou Nianxi, "Young Master, since you have already received the banknotes, then leave the pearl hairpin with me. When Young Master has free money, come and redeem it. How about it?"

Sikou Nianxi nodded and turned her head to look at the shopkeeper. "Actually, this was given to me by my brother. I feel a little bad about treating it like this. Help me keep it. When I have money, I will immediately redeem it." "Yes." Sikou Nianxi nodded and turned her head to look at the shopkeeper and said, "This is actually given to me by my brother. I also feel a little guilty about treating it like this. Help me keep it well. When I have money, I will immediately come and redeem it."

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and sent Sikou Nianxi out with a smile.

After Sikou Nianxi had walked out for a long time, the shopkeeper picked up the pearl hairpin and kept it in front of his eyes. He said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really met a treasure. A mere thousand taels of silver actually exchanged for such a good treasure..."

As he spoke, the manager was stunned for a moment. As if he suddenly thought of something, he called back the waiter who was not far away and asked, "You said that taking such a treasure to show respect to Young Master, is it still worthy of his eyes?"

The waiter frowned and thought for a moment, then truthfully said, "Shopkeeper, I don't know how valuable these treasures are, but Young Master is quite interested in these hairpin bracelets. If you give this to him, it should be able to match his wishes."

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement. Then, he continued to fiddle with his precious hairpin.

After Sikou Nianxi received the thousand silver notes, she felt confident and thought to herself that she had the silver notes. Then it would be much easier to gather information from the Flower House.

Both sides of the street were still bustling with noise and excitement. Sikou Nianxi lifted her eyes to take a look. The swaying lanterns on her head made her feel a little dizzy. She sighed. Sikou Nianxi weakly shook her head. It was not easy for her to ask where the pawnshop was located. She had gotten the banknotes, but where were the Hibiscus Pavilion and Drunken Immortal House now? It was not good to ask people again. Sikou Nianxi rubbed her forehead. She could only blame herself for not being fully prepared in advance. Now that they had really come out... But there was trouble everywhere, and it was a headache.

Sikou Nianxi was hesitating whether she should ask the passerby the Hibiscus Pavilion and Drunken Immortal House's location while slowly pacing back and forth. Unknowingly, she had already walked quite a distance.

However, the two sides of the street were still very lively. Sikou Nianxi inadvertently glanced at it and happened to see a small stall selling candied fruits on the right. Her eyes involuntarily lit up.

Sikou Nianxi especially liked to eat candied fruits when she was young. And, of course, he loved osmanthus cake. In fact, osmanthus cake should be better than candied fruits. But in the past, Sikou Nianxi only wanted to eat osmanthus cake. The cook in the mansion would make it for her. And candied fruits needed to be bought outside. Sikou Nianxi was still young at that time. Her parents also took care of her so she did not have much chance to eat the candied fruits. Occasionally, Sikou Zhongyu would sneak out once or twice to buy one or two skewers of candied fruits for her, but her mother said that the candied fruits were not clean. She was not willing to let Sikou Nianxi eat the candied fruits.

That was why it was best not to get the candied fruits. Although the osmanthus cake was delicious, Sikou Nianxi could easily get it if she wanted to eat it. On the contrary, the candied fruits became a knot in Sikou Nianxi's heart and left a deep impression in her heart.

Later on, ever since Sikou Nianxi moved to Prime Minister Mansion, she did not have much chance to eat the candied fruits. It wasn't easy for her to see so many candied fruits, so how could she not be excited?

Swallowing her saliva, Sikou Nianxi began to plan. She thought to herself that she was just buying a skewer of candied fruits to satisfy her craving. As she walked, she would not waste too much time eating. It was precisely a matter of time that could not be delayed. Moreover, normally when you went to buy his things from others, his mood would become better. At this time, if you asked him anything, he would be embarrassed not to answer because you bought his things.

He could take advantage of the fact that he had bought the candied fruits to ask the person selling the candied fruits about the whereabouts of Hibiscus Pavilion and Drunken Immortal House. He would feel embarrassed if he didn't say anything.

Sikou Nianxi thought that her plan was very good. If she went to buy a skewer of candied fruits, not only would she be able to satisfy her craving, but she could also ask for directions along the way. Killing two birds with one stone. It was indeed worth it.

Thinking of this, Sikou Nianxi pulled up a smile and walked towards the stall selling candied fruits with a smile. When the candied fruits seller saw Sikou Nianxi walking towards him, he hurriedly called out, "Does Young Master want to buy this candied fruits?"

Sikou Nianxi nodded. The candied gourd seller laughed even more happily and said, "How many skewers do you want?"

How many skewers do you want? Sikou Nianxi frowned and thought for a while. She felt that she was here to do proper business. If she bought too much, she would remember to eat the candied fruits later. Moreover, could it be that she was going to visit the Flower House with a face full of sugar? Uh, that scene...

Thinking of this, Sikou Nianxi immediately extended a finger to the vendor selling the candied fruits. "One skewer is enough."

"Okay." The owner of the candied fruits immediately took out a large and round candied fruits and gave it to Sikou Nianxi. Sikou Nianxi smiled and reached out to take it. She took out a piece of silver and threw it to the stall owner.

After taking the candied fruit, Sikou Nianxi did not leave. She peeled off a layer of film on the outside of the candied fruit and carefully ate the candied fruit.

The stall owner saw that Sikou Nianxi was fair and handsome, and the way she ate the candied fruits was very interesting. He did not blame Sikou Nianxi for obstructing his business and only looked at him with a smile.

Being looked at like this by the stall owner, no matter how good the taste of the candied fruits was, Sikou Nianxi could not eat them. The stall owner saw that Sikou Nianxi only ate two candied fruits and did not continue eating. It was her own candied fruits that did not taste good. He looked at Sikou Nianxi and asked, "What's wrong with Young Master? But... My candied fruits do not match your appetite?"

Sikou Nianxi heard and quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, your candied fruits are very delicious... but..." Sikou Nianxi paused. She could not say that she could not eat after being watched by you like this. Hence, she smiled and changed her words, "I just ate something and now my stomach is very swollen. This candied fruit... Uh... I will eat it later."

The stall owner smiled and nodded. He handed over a handkerchief. "Then young master, wipe your mouth first." Sikou Nianxi was stunned for a moment. Then, she took the handkerchief and smiled at the stall owner. She nodded. "Thank you."

After wiping her mouth, she could not eat the candied fruits now. Sikou Nianxi lifted her head and carefully looked at the stall owner. Her face was flickering and she was a little embarrassed but she still opened her mouth in the end, "Erm, this... Uh, does little brother know where Hibiscus Pavilion and Drunken Immortal House are located on this street?"
