Rebirth of the General's Granddaughter Chapter 27 The First Encounter at the Market

w.a.n.g Yiping, this time I must protect s.h.i.+ 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 away to get her to be on my side.

w.a.n.g Yiping, I would let you experience what.i.t means to have your own means used against you. I would definitely let youexperience the wonderful taste of being betrayed by one of your own people.

After thinking about all that she did tos.h.i.+ Yun, Zi You felt guilty.

Looking at her own servant girlspointing to the street stalls, the handmade clay-people figures, concentricknots, kites, paper cut-outs, embroidery, and masks, she couldn't help butsoftly said, "You guys take a look. Whatever you like, I will buy for you."

The four girls heard, gratefully lookedat Zi You, and embarra.s.sedly shook their heads.

Indeed, since their Xiaojie [Young Lady,Miss] recovered from her illness, she was very good to them. Not to mention thefood or jewelry she bestowed on them, she also taught them to read and learnmartial 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 themheld a scornful contempt.

But now Xiaojie treated them likerelatives. Her warm and soft eyes seemed to be able to see straight into theirhearts.

Seeing someone kneading flour doughfigures, the four girls and Zi You went over.

The person making dough figures was anearly sixty-year-old man, dressed in shabby clothes, sitting in front ofragged bamboo baskets.

Picking up some flour dough, he rubbedand 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 andhelpless hands and her eyes dimmed. She asked softly, "This elder, can you makefigures of us five?"

What a beautiful voice! It was like anOriole singing. The old man looked up in amazement and was stunned when he sawZi You.

The little girl in front of him had eyeslike two deep purple crystals in clear waters. They were clear and bright. The cornerof her eyes lightly swept upwards.

She was wearing a pale blue dress, witha n.o.ble temperament. Her skin was white like snow, similar to a lotus breaking throughthe surface of water: beautiful.

The old man didn't speak. He put downthe work in his hand and picked up new dough. He started kneading and prettysoon a dough figure resembling Zi You was created.

Zi You found it strange. She was wearinga hat, with only her eyes revealed. A veil covered the rest of her face belowthe eyes. This old man could depict her cold and n.o.ble temperament so closely. Evenher high tiny nose and petal-like lips were very similar.

Zi You was amazed. Commoners were reallyhidden tigers, crouching dragons. A humble craftsman was actually a master ofsculpture.

Zi You couldn't bear to put it down and hadn'tyet spoken in admiration before someone s.n.a.t.c.hed the dough figure away. "Thisdough figure, Ye [Lord] wants. How much money?"

The voice resembled a duck's voice, dueto the man changing his voice.

This man knew martial arts and he was abetter martial artist than herself. Zi You immediately realized these twopoints. Because this person's movementswere fast as lightning, as soon as she realized someone came over, the doughfigure in her hand was already s.n.a.t.c.hed away. She didn't have any time toreact.No wonder Grandfatherwas not rea.s.sured to let her go out by herself. Before exchanging moves, shealready lost the first opportunity. Indeed, in the world there were people betterthan oneself. Knowledge was endless, as was martial arts. It seemed she stillneeded to work hard!
