Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

"Young girl, you have really good taste. This is made of top-quality white jade that we specially dug up from the Western Regions. We are the only store selling it on this street!" After hearing the store owner's introduction, Jiang Yan turned his head to look at the jade in Xu Ning's hand.

"The Western Regions." Xu Ning picked up the jade and pointed it towards the sun. He found that it was indeed translucent without any impurities. It really looked like top-grade white jade.

"Boss, why don't you keep such fine jade for yourself?" Xu Ning played with the jade, feeling its smooth and delicate texture which was very comfortable.

"No matter how good this thing is, it's just a stone. If it can't be exchanged for food, then it's no different from the stones on the roadside."

After hearing this, Xu Ning looked at the boss's clothes and found that he did not have anything valuable on him.

There are two psychological explanations for this situation. One is that this person is actually very poor, and the other is that this person is very strong inside and does not need expensive external objects to show off himself.

Judging from the boss's measured speech, it must be the latter.

"Boss, don't mind. I just want to ask you how much this piece of jade costs. I'll buy it."

"Two hundred taels for Chenghui." The boss naturally didn't mind. He had met all kinds of customers. Xu Ning didn't say anything unpleasant. He just asked a few questions. It was harmless.

The price is indeed very fair. If she put this jade in her shop and decorated it with some meaning, it would be dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive.

Xu Ning picked some more and spent a total of more than one thousand taels. The boss was generous enough to give him a small bonus.

Jiang Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end. It was not until Xu Ning finished his purchase and left with the things that he took the gift and handed it to the subordinate behind him.

"Aning, a jade mine was recently discovered in the Western Regions. Are you interested in going to take a look?"

Xu Ning was thinking that she had stayed in the Western Regions for such a long time, why didn’t she think of picking up stones?

Then when he heard Jiang Yan's words, his eyes lit up. Jade mine, that sounds very impressive.

"Jiang Shaoheng, are you very knowledgeable about jade?" Xu Ning only knew a few types of jade, the common ones such as white jade, jadeite and agate.

"Some research." Jiang Shaoheng quickly started talking to Xu Ning about the jade. They walked around for the day, bought some new things, and it was evening in a flash.

Tonight is even more lively than last night. Xu Ning was attracted by the various lights on the street and ran to the street again.

Jiang Yan followed Xu Ning for a day's shopping. For the first time, he felt his feet were a little sore. He also realized how exciting it was for girls to go shopping.

As the night deepened, some young men and women were still lighting lanterns by the river. Xu Ning and Jiang Yan stood not far away and watched the scene.

"Aning, aren't you going to release a lantern?" Jiang Yan asked Xu Ning.

Xu Ning shook her head. She had just secretly heard that the theme of this lantern display was love, so she gave up immediately.

"Aning, I actually have a question I want to ask..."

Xu Ning was in a daze, and nodded casually: "You go ahead."

"Aning, are you hiding from me because you're afraid?"

"Ah?" Xu Ning suddenly woke up.

"Aning, may I know what you are afraid of?"

Xu Ning opened his eyes wide, mouth slightly open, looking at Jiang Yan's serious expression in surprise.

"Ah, actually, how should I put it..." Xu Ning opened his mouth for a long time but failed to explain clearly what he wanted to say.

In fact, Xu Ning has always resisted feelings because he is afraid that gaining will mean losing.

But she couldn't just tell Jiang Yan directly, nor did she want to tell him. This was only her own problem.

"Is it difficult to answer? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if Aning doesn't want to tell me. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Aning is nervous because she cares about me, right?" Jiang Yan chuckled. Xu Ning's helpless look was a little cute but also a little sad.

He actually always knew that Xu Ning had a secret because he also had a secret.

He didn't know what secret Xu Ning was trying to hide, but he wanted to tell her his secrets, his past that seemed a little shocking.
