Warm my heart

The shopkeeper carefully took the wooden box and slowly opened the lid.

When his eyes fell on the dazzling night pearl, a hint of incredible surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.

"This... this, this, is this the legendary night pearl?" His voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously deeply shocked by the treasure in front of him.

He had never seen such a huge night pearl in his life, and even in the imperial palace, there were few such treasures.

He thought to himself that if he could get this treasure and present it to the palace, the young master would definitely look at him with admiration.

"Young master, are you going to sell this bead?" the shopkeeper asked tentatively, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

Ye Bingshang had no expression on her face and said calmly, "That depends on whether the shopkeeper can offer a fair price."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was delighted and immediately held up five fingers, saying with a smile, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, what do you think, young master?"

Ye Bingshang just glanced at it lightly, as if she was not satisfied with the price. She wanted to take the night pearl back without even looking at it again.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly changed his words: "Add another ten thousand taels, young master, what do you think of this?"

Ye Bingshang remained expressionless as she said coldly, "Seventy thousand taels. If I didn't need it urgently, I wouldn't be selling this bead."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, could you please wait a moment? I'll go and ask my young master to come over."

Ye Bingshang showed a hint of impatience: "How long will it take? I'm in a hurry."

The shopkeeper took one look and quickly assured him, "Soon, soon, it will only take an incense stick of time."

Ye Bingshang reluctantly agreed: "Okay then, hurry up."

The shopkeeper immediately ordered the servant to ride as fast as he could to find the young master in the courtyard two streets away.

Not long after, a handsome man hurried into the store. He had sharp eyes and extraordinary temperament.

He smiled at Ye Bingshang and asked politely, "Shopkeeper, is this young master the one who brought the treasure?"

The shopkeeper bowed respectfully to the man and replied, "Indeed, Young Master, please have a look."

The man took the wooden box. Although he was prepared, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when he saw the night pearl with his own eyes.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said with a serious face, "Okay, let's do as the young master said, 70,000 taels of silver."

In this way, the two completed the transaction in a friendly atmosphere.

After Ye Bingshang and Jiahui left the pawnshop, they turned left and right alertly, cleverly shaking off the tail that might be following them.

After confirming that it was safe, the two of them quietly returned to their yard through the small door.

Back in the yard, the two quickly changed back into their normal clothes.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was the delivery person who arrived.

Ye Bingshang directed the servants to move the items into the courtyard.

Afterwards, Ye Bingshang and Jiahui sorted out the newly purchased items together, and asked Jiahui to go out and make some contacts to have some firewood sent over.

Although they didn't like her very much, at least they had a big share of the yard where she lived.

Now they have so much money that it will last them a long time.

Ye Bingshang pulled Jiahui into the house and took out a book for her.

Ye Bingshang: "Jiahui, I met an old immortal on the way when I went to collect herbs. She taught me the method of cultivation. We will practice together in the future, and when we grow up, we will leave this cage."

Jiahui burst into tears when she heard this: "Wow, wow, wow, miss, you are too good to Jiahui. Wow."

This was what she owed her. In that piece of heart-protecting scale, she finally pushed Jiahui out to block the knife for herself.

In this life, as long as she doesn't betray her, she will treat her well.

Jiahui suddenly noticed the crow outside the window and asked in confusion: "Miss, why do these crows keep landing at our window?"

Ye Bingshang's gaze also shifted to the crow. She remembered that Dan Tai Jin seemed to be able to control the crow.

Will this crow be his?

Ye Bingshang waved to the crow. The crow was puzzled for a moment, then flew near Ye Bingshang.

Jiahui was surprised: "Miss, this crow is so strange, it can actually understand."

Ye Bingshang smiled and said, "Jiahui, go prepare some grains and berries. It looks pretty cute. Let's raise it."

Jiahui felt warm at the sight of the young lady's long-lost smile. Without giving it much thought, she immediately went to get some grains and fruit.

Ye Bingshang put the food in a bowl and took two steps back.

Seeing that she was no longer coming forward, the crow walked over to the small bowl and started eating.

Ye Bingshang watched the crows eating their food adorably and said to Jiahui, "Jiahui, go build a nest for the crows."

Jiahui also agreed with a smile: "Yes, Miss."

Jiahui was very good at embroidery. In a short while, she took cotton and cloth and skillfully made a warm and comfortable bird's nest for the crow.

Ye Bingshang didn't care whether the little crow could understand or not, and said to it gently: "How about you live in our house from now on?

Look, we made a warm nest for you."

The crow seemed to be able to sense Ye Bingshang's kindness. It looked at Ye Bingshang, then looked at the newly built bird's nest next to it.

Then it took small steps and went straight into the bird's nest, chirping happily.

Seeing this, Ye Bingshang was delighted: "Jiahui, you see the little crow likes this nest very much. What do you say we give it a name?"

Jiahui also looked at the little crow curiously, her eyes full of love: "Well, Miss, please think of a name for the little crow."

Ye Bingshang thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about calling it Little Crow?"

Jiahui immediately agreed. She was a loyal supporter of Ye Bingshang. "Well, Xiao Yaya, this name is good."

At the same time, Tan Tai Jin observed Ye Bingshang and Jia Hui's every move through the eyes of a crow.

He couldn't understand why they wanted to build a nest for a little crow.

Did they feed it?

Why didn't anyone feed her?

Could it be that I am not as cute as a crow?

Or is it because I can't fly?

His mind was filled with doubts.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the house through the window, Ye Bingshang woke up and was surprised to find a shiny little bead placed on the window.

She immediately picked up the beads, walked to the bird's nest, and whispered to the little crow, "Little crow, did you bring this back?"

The little crow seemed to understand her words and chirped twice, as if to say, "Yes, this is for you."

At noon, the little crow disappeared. Ye Bingshang asked Jiahui worriedly, "Jiahui, have you seen the little crow?"

Jiahui thought for a moment and replied, "Miss, I didn't see it. Maybe it went to play with other crows."

During lunch, the little crow flew back again, and Ye Bingshang immediately fed it some more grains.

Ye Bingshang asked curiously, "Little Crow, do you have an owner?"

Unexpectedly, the little crow nodded and chirped twice, as if answering her.
