After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

It was a small shop with a counter as the door. There was a curtain next to the counter leading to the backyard. There were several shelves on both sides, on which were some ordinary-looking porcelain items, such as vases, tea cups, bowls and plates, most of which were just ordinary white porcelain.

The shopkeeper, who had his eyes closed, raised his eyelids and watched the three people come in. He had no interest in entertaining them. He gathered his sleeves, shrank his neck, and muttered in a low voice, "Just take a look." He changed his sitting posture and did not even stand up. It was obvious that he felt that these three exquisitely dressed girls would look down on his teacups.

Yuan Ge was also uninterested and stood aside with his arms folded.

The cousin seemed to be selecting very carefully, looking at each set one by one. After a while, she turned back and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you have any white porcelain with gold borders?"

Perhaps he hadn't expected that the girl really wanted to buy it. The shopkeeper looked up at her, sized her up from head to toe, and said, "Maybe it's in the warehouse, but the warehouse is messy and hard to find. If the girl is sincere, I'll go look for it."

This businessman is also strange, with a sense of forcing a sale, as if he must buy it if he finds it. No wonder there are so few customers. Yuan Ge complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just waiting for his cousin to show her true colors.

Miss cousin didn't seem to think the other party's attitude was bad. Instead, she happily tried to get closer. "Then let's help you find it together? It will be faster if we have more people. If there are extra ones, I will buy two more as backup."

The shopkeeper frowned more and more as he looked at this strange young lady who seemed to be from a wealthy family but was attracted by his ordinary teacups. After a while, perhaps bewitched by her words "buy two more sets", he nodded and said, "Okay, follow me."

"Cousin, you can wait for me here." Wang Shanshan turned around and said to Yuan Ge, "Cousin, you can wait for me here. I'd like to trouble you to accompany me here today. You know, I... I'm short of money and can't afford to buy something too expensive as a gift to you. But I think this teacup with a gold border is pretty good. If I can find it, I'll give you a set as a return gift... How do you think?"

How? Of course not.

Fortunately, she was able to say it. Pei's jewelry was so expensive. It would be fine if she didn't ask for a return gift, but she wanted to use this low-quality teacup as a return gift? Yuan Ge sneered in his heart, but smiled meaningfully on his face, "It's okay, don't take it to heart."

"No. My mother said that if someone does you a favor, you should repay them with a thousand times the gratitude." The other person smiled shamelessly, "Please wait a moment, cousin. I'll be back soon." After saying that, he grinned and followed the shopkeeper to the warehouse.

Jianshu was stunned by this cousin. He looked at the white porcelain teacup on the shelf beside him and muttered after a while, "Cousin, don't you know what it means to repay kindness with gratitude?"

It's rare to see such humor in book reviews.

Yuan Ge chuckled, "Maybe... it's a regional difference. This is how the Wang family understands 'repaying the kindness with gratitude'."

Jianshu just nodded and said nothing more. This explanation was irrefutable.

The cousin had been in there for a while. Yuan Ge, who never had the patience to wait for anyone, walked around the container, knocking on this, shaking his head, weighing that, and shaking his head again. He seemed to be having a lot of fun.

A man in a moon-white gown walked past the door at a brisk pace. He paused for a moment, then turned back and peered into the store. He let out a "Yo-hoo" in surprise, "Yuan..."

The name that was almost blurted out was swallowed back when he saw the other person. Master Xu opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap, fanned himself lazily in a self-proclaimed romantic manner, and greeted, "What a coincidence, I was just about to look for you... Why is the young lady here?" Could this damn girl be interested in the things here?

Yuan Ge pointed inside and said, "My cousin said that her servant broke a set of white porcelain cups, and she wanted me to accompany her to buy a new set, and also buy another set for me as a return gift for the Pei jewelry I gave her."

The girl said it calmly, but Xu Chengjin twitched his lips. The teacup here is a gift for Pei's Jewelry? Are all girls these days so shameless? Xu Chengjin rolled his eyes very obviously, pulled Yuan Ge and walked out, "Don't worry about the return gift. I was just looking for you. Let's go to Sanpinju. There is news about the matter you asked me to find out. Let's talk while eating."

Inquire about the news? Yuan Ge's eyes lit up instantly, and he pulled Xu Chengjin in the opposite direction, "Is there any news about the snow lotus seeds?"

"Of course!" Xu Chengjin looked like he was trying to take credit for it. "Don't you see who I am? Apart from the Zhong family, I am the one who knows the most about the news in Shengjing. I heard that Sanpinju has a new chef who cooks delicious Jiangnan dishes. Come on! I'll treat you!"

It didn't matter whether it was Jiangnan or not, the important thing was that the snow lotus seeds were finally found, and Yuan Ge instantly forgot about the cousin and put it in some corner. Jianshu still remembered, but he didn't say it... After all, there was really no need to mention the cousin who was so grateful, and it was a simple matter to rent a carriage in the East Market.

The cousin found the gold-painted white porcelain cup and lifted the curtain to come out. She just happened to see Xu Chengjin raising one arm to lead Yuan Ge out. From her angle, she could see the other person's smiling eyes that were infinitely gentle and indulgent.

Wang Shanshan was slightly stunned, and her ears turned red... The shopkeeper next to her raised his hand, but before he could call out, he was stopped by Wang Shanshan.

Most people in Shengjing City knew Xu Chengjin's face, including the shopkeeper. He became more and more confused, "Is the girl a cousin of the Xu family?" Why was the wealthy Xu family so stingy when entertaining their own cousin?

Wang Shanshan tilted her head to look at the shopkeeper, "You also think... that's my cousin?"

The smile on her face looked particularly strange. Somehow, it always felt a bit creepy. The shopkeeper gathered his sleeves and said awkwardly, "Isn't it? I saw your cousin's wife and him..." They were very close. The last few words were swallowed down. It was a rich family affair... It couldn't be said, it couldn't be said.

Retracting her gaze from the empty door, Wang Shanshan pursed her lips gently, without saying yes or no. She just told the shopkeeper to pack the two sets of teacups into a box and leave the shop.

After leaving the shop, the cousin stood on the busy street for a long time. After a while, she lowered her head and looked at the two sets of tea sets in her hands and smiled strangely... Wen Qian, even the shopkeeper thinks that there is something unclear between you and Xu Chengjin, so don't blame me for throwing dirty water on you.
