In a flash, two months passed by.

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival1. Officials third-ranked2 and higher brought their wives and children into the imperial palace to attend the banquet. The Xie family was also included in this category.

Xie Fei sat in a carriage rushing to the imperial palace, passing by the shops on the street. For some reason only the demons and gods knew, he had the driver stop.

Precious Soulmate3 was a famous jade ornament shop in the capital, and was also a store managed under Xie Fei's name. Now, it was already dusk; the store didn't have many customers anymore.

Manager Lu was calculating the day's profits on an abacus. When he raised his head and saw the Young Master walking towards him, he immediately set down his account book, excitedly bringing Xie Fei into the private room to sit. He said, "Young Master, coming today, are there some matters to instruct this humble one?"

Xie Fei asked, "Are there any special ornaments suitable for young ladies to play with?"

Manager Lu's shrewd eyes circled the room. He chuckled. "Don't say any more, there really is. Just the day before yesterday, a perfect piece of milky white warm jade was sent back from Jiangnan, but one side had two red dots. Originally, I thought this was a flawed product. I never thought that Wang De's magic hands could compete with nature, creating an ornament in the shape of a rabbit. It's so good that even I, this kind of rough person, was interested!"Please read this at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com

"Bring it here to let me see." Xie Fei instructed, casually lifting his eyebrows.

Manager Lu made a noise of agreement, turning and leaving the private room. Not a moment later, he brought a box inside: "Young Master, please have a look." When he finished, he opened the box and passed it to Xie Fei.

Xie Fei took it, taking out the jade ornament from the box, a piece of warmth turning in his palm. This piece of jade looked like a rabbit, exquisitely wrought, the two red dots exactly like the Moon Rabbit's red eyes. It was exceptionally cute. The other side was a lustrous white, fine and smooth. The entire piece of jade exuded faint traces of spiritual influence. It really was a hard-to-come-by item of the highest quality.

Seeing this jade ornament, Xie Fei inexplicably thought of Xi Wen. That day, her eyes were red just like this, smiling to Xie Fei that she "believed in him". His heart suddenly softened. Xie Fei blurted, "This jade ornament, I want it."

When he was leaving, Xie Fei also instructed Manager Lu, "If there's any similar jade ornaments in the future, send them directly to the residence."

Manager Lu nodded in agreement.Please read this at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com

Because he delayed for a while, by the time Xie Fei arrived, the participants of the banquet had already gathered in the guest hall. Men and women were separated into seats on two sides. On one side were the ladies and young misses; on the other side were the officials and young masters. As for the imperial family's princesses and princes, they were all arranged at the host's seats on an elevated platform.

Xie Fei had just stepped into the hall when he attracted everyone's eyes. There were even some women who exclaimed in low voices, "Young Master Xie, it's Young Master Xie!"

The crowd's gazes were full of exceptional beauty. Although this Young Master Xie was famous everywhere, he rarely appeared in public. Many people had only seen the painting of him passed around the marketplace; it was the first time seeing the real person.
