The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug 159 Chapter Buying A Hairpin

159 Chapter 159: Buying A Hairpin
When the stall owner saw a customer approaching, his face broke into a warm smile.
“Mister, Missus, take a look and see if anything catches your fancy. There are all kinds of designs.”
“Mm-hmm,” Song Que answered and lowered his head to browse the goods.
Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, seemed to be a little disinterested.
However, she felt bored, so she also browsed through the goods with Song Que.
Thereafter, she discovered a bright, white jade hairpin.
Qin Xiaoyao felt it looked quite nice and reached out for it.
“Missus has good taste. This hairpin is lustrous and white. The quality is top-notch. Paired with your husband, it will definitely complement him well!” the stall owner said hurriedly.
When the stall owner looked at Song Que, he could not hide the admiration in his eyes.
This husband’s appearance was indeed extraordinary. No matter what kind of hairpin he used, he still looked absolutely stunning and peerless.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and agreed with the stall owner’s words.
Thus, she turned her head to look at Song Que.
“Hubby, come over here. I’ll put it on for you to have a look,” she said.
Sigh! When she thought about it, she had never given her husband any decent gift.
Today’s outing could be considered an opportune time.
If the price was right, it was not a bad idea to give her husband a love token.
Hehe! Thinking of the words’ love token,’ that woman was so happy that she wanted to wag her tail like a dog. Unfortunately, she could not.
Song Que was caught by surprise.
Looking at the jade hairpin in Qin Xiaoyao’s hand, he realized that it was indeed made of jade, but the quality wasn’t very good.
However, he didn’t mind and agreed with a smile.
After that, he allowed Qin Xiaoyao to remove the wooden hairpin from his head and replace it with the jade hairpin.
Qin Xiaoyao grinned widely in satisfaction as she admired her ‘masterpiece’.
Indeed, her attractive husband appeared even more attractive after she put the jade hairpin on him.
Song Que didn’t feel uncomfortable under Qin Xiaoyao’s infatuated gaze, and his eyes even revealed a look of adoration subconsciously.
He completely ignored the stall owner, who was busy praising and flattering him.
Then, he also picked out a jade hairpin from the stall and inserted it into Qin Xiaoyao’s somewhat disheveled hair.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao come back to her senses.
She reached out and pulled the jade hairpin off her head.
“Hehe! I don’t want it.”
“Hubby’s jade hairpin is still the most beautiful.” She displayed a look of infatuation again.
Song Que simply smiled and reached out to take the jade hairpin from Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
“How much is this jade hairpin?” he asked the stall owner.
“Mister, the one in your hand is two taels of silver, and the one on your head… I can give it to you for one tael and five copper coins.”
Qin Xiaoyao, who was by his side, was shocked.
She quickly pushed Song Que’s hand to return the jade hairpin.
“I don’t want this. Two taels of silver is too expensive!” she said.
Song Que smiled, but he avoided Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
Then, he took off the hairpin on his head and changed back to the wooden hairpin he had used before.
“Although these two jade hairpins are indeed made of jade, the quality is not good.”
“One tael and a half is enough for this. The other is worth at most 800 copper coins.” As Song Que spoke, he waved the two jade hairpins in his hand.
The stall owner’s face froze.
He knew that he had encountered an expert.
As for Qin Xiaoyao, she was already looking at Song Que with the utmost admiration.
She had always thought that her husband wasn’t good at haggling, but she didn’t expect that this man was even more ruthless than her when it came to haggling.
What surprised her even more was what the stall owner said next.
“Since Mister has such a discerning eye, I’ll go along with the price you have quoted. For a total of two taels and three silver coins, these two hairpins are yours.”
The other party had given him some leeway in the price he had stated. If the stall owner were to sell at his price, he would still make some profit.
Moreover, he had displayed these two jade hairpins for a long time, but no one had been interested in them.
It would be good to take this opportunity to sell them off so that he wouldn’t have to keep them on his hands.
Song Que smiled and was about to agree.
However, he was stopped by Qin Xiaoyao.
“Let’s just buy this one that costs 800 copper coins. I don’t even like the one you chose,” she said.
The truth was, it wasn’t that she didn’t like it, but it was just too expensive.
At one tael and five silver coins, it was almost twice as expensive as the one she had chosen for her attractive husband.
...
Song Que smiled. “Then which one do you like?” He turned to browse through the jewelry on the stall again.
In his eyes, none of these things were exquisite enough.
However, now that he was short of money, he could only give a small token to express his feelings.
Qin Xiaoyao followed Song Que’s gaze and understood that her husband also wanted to give her a gift. After thinking about it, she decided to accept his goodwill.
“Give me a silver hairpin then!” she said.
Silver was good, valuable, and resistant to breakage.
“Price must be within one tael of silver!” Qin Xiaoyao added as an afterthought.
Song Que smiled in amusement.
He looked at the stall owner.
“Do you have any silver hairpins that are below one tael of silver?” he asked the stall owner.
“Yes, I do!” The stall owner quickly replied.
...
Then, he began to introduce his wares to Song Que.
Regardless of whether he was buying a jade hairpin or a silver hairpin, they were all precious items in his stall.
He could earn more by selling these goods than other jewelry.
After that, Song Que saw the three silver hairpins handed over by the stall owner.
Their designs were very ordinary, and only one of them was barely acceptable.
Song Que stretched out his hand and took the silver hairpin that was barely acceptable.
“How’s this one?” he asked Qin Xiaoyao.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao’s chubby face was slightly red, and she nodded repeatedly when she saw the silver hairpin in Song Que’s hand.
Song Que then looked at the stall owner.
“How much is it?” he asked.
The stall owner spread out his hands. When he saw Song Que’s serious expression, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “If you really want it, it’s 850 copper coins.”
He then added, “No bargaining.”
Qin Xiaoyao frowned and was about to bargain, but Song Que stopped her.
“Deal!” Song Que replied, then reached for his money pouch.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say anything more.
As she watched Song Que make payment, her heart was filled with joy.
Surprisingly, Song Que only paid for the silver hairpin.
“Mister, you don’t want this jade hairpin?” The stall owner accepted the money and looked at Song Que in surprise.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly came back to her senses.
“I want it! I want it!” she blurted out.
Then, under Song Que’s gaze, she quickly took out her money.
She was so happy that she became muddleheaded.
Since they were giving each other gifts, both of them had to pay for their respective gifts.
Very quickly, Qin Xiaoyao took out her money and paid for the jade hairpin.
Then, the young couple, one holding the jade hairpin and the other holding the silver hairpin, continued to move forward with a tacit understanding.
After walking for about ten meters, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Why don’t I put it on for you?” she said to Song Que.
The corners of Song Que’s lips curved up.
“Mm-hmm. Then I’ll put yours on for you too,” he responded.
The couple then gave each other the gifts they had bought.
Thereafter, when the two saw the hairpins they had chosen for each other attached to the other party’s head, they each felt that the other party had become even more attractive.
Following that, Qin Xiaoyao’s actions gradually changed. She was now holding Song Que’s hand…
An atmosphere of ‘romance’ enveloped the two of them.
That was until they bumped into Madam Liu and the rest.
After seeing Madam Liu and the rest, Qin Xiaoyao immediately let go of Song Que’s hand as if it was a conditioned reflex. She switched her hand-holding gesture back to supporting Song Que.
However, everyone had seen the two of them. Her overreaction had attracted attention instead.
Madam Liu and the rest all had ambiguous and thought-provoking expressions on their faces.
