"Xi Tian, hurry out! I bought you a grand carriage..."
Little Jie Kong stood with his hands on his hips, shouting in his childish voice.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Jin Heng raised an eyebrow. "The little monk really went to buy a carriage. I wonder if the carriage he bought can carry people, or if its wheels will fall off when it runs!"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
You brat, why are you speaking so sarcastically?
The little monk isn't as useless as you say!
"Lord Tu, please continue eating. I'll be right back..."
Little Xi Tian stood up, personally poured a cup of tea for Tu Qing Dong, and then trotted out.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin Heng quickly put down his chopsticks and followed her out, not leaving her side.
Tu Qing Dong, who was utterly confused: "???"
What is all this nonsense?
A mere little monk could make His Highness and the little county princess move?
As soon as Little Xi Tian ran out of the courtyard, she saw Little Jie Kong standing smilingly beside a carriage, his face full of smugness...
It was a luxurious carriage with golden rims on its wheels. The frame was made of the finest pine wood, and the windows were hung with deep purple curtains.
The two horses pulling the carriage were tall and strong, with luxuriant manes and bright, piercing eyes that seemed to hold a light...
Little Xi Tian boarded the carriage again and looked at the interior decoration.
In the center was a small square table, and in the corner, there was a hidden compartment for storing books or various sundries...
Two blankets made of fox fur were neatly folded, and the scent of incense occasionally wafted through the air.
"Little monk, why did you buy such a nice carriage?" Little Xi Tian jumped off the carriage, looking helpless.
The craftsmanship and spaciousness of this carriage were even more upscale than that brat's carriage...
Little Xi Tian counted on her fingers. Such a luxurious carriage in the capital would cost at least five to six hundred taels of silver.
Little Jie Kong pouted, dismissively saying, "Of course, it's for Xi Tian! How is it, do you like it?"
To buy this carriage, he had searched almost every horse market in the capital...
When the shop owner saw he was just a little boy, he refused to deal with him.
With no other choice, the little monk had to use his 'killer move,' forcing the shop owner to sell him the best carriage...
"I can ride a regular carriage, there's no need to buy such an expensive one!" Little Xi Tian sighed, taking Little Jie Kong's hand. "Where did you buy it? Let's go back tomorrow and see if we can return it!"
"Yes, return it..." Xiao Jin Heng walked over and added fuel to the fire.
Little Jie Kong: "..."
Xiao, I'm going to strangle you.
Why are you everywhere?
"Xi Tian, the carriage is already bought, why return it?"
The little monk looked crestfallen, his lips almost pouting to the sky. "Is it... is it because Xi Tian doesn't like it?"
If she didn't like it, he could find the shop owner and exchange it for another one.
"It's not that!" Little Xi Tian put her hand to her forehead and sighed. "I don't need to ride such a fancy carriage when I'm out in the capital. It's too ostentatious. Even without a carriage, I can walk, which also exercises my body..."
Alas, this little monk spends money so carelessly, buying a 'treasure horse' on impulse.
No, where did the little monk get the money?
"Xi Tian, what is 'walking'?" Xiao Jin Heng suddenly asked.
Little Xi Tian rolled her eyes and gestured with her finger, "It means to walk with your legs..."
After speaking, she asked Little Jie Kong, "Jie Kong, how much did this carriage cost you?"
If it was cheap, she would return the money to the little monk, and she would keep the carriage...
If it was too expensive, she couldn't afford it.
Little Jie Kong scratched his face. "I don't know how much it cost!"
Little Xi Tian: "???"
"I just gave him the golden ruyi my master left me, and the shop owner happily gave me the carriage!" Little Jie Kong blinked his big eyes.
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Good heavens, such a valuable golden ruyi was exchanged for a carriage?
Even though your master is wealthy and rich, you can't squander money like this.
Little Xi Tian had seen Jie Kong's golden ruyi before. It was as thick as an arm, and the top was inlaid with a magnificent ruby...
Moreover, the entire ruyi was made of pure gold, with exquisite and delicate craftsmanship, luxurious and precious. Just that ruby, the size of an egg, would be worth one to two thousand taels of silver.
Even if it were pawned, it would fetch an exorbitant price.
And the little monk only exchanged it for a carriage. He was truly the biggest spendthrift in the Great Liang Kingdom...
"I'll go with you to return the carriage tomorrow!" Little Xi Tian's face darkened, and she stomped her feet in anger. "Don't waste money anymore!"
Little Jie Kong: "???"
How can a gift for Xi Tian be called wasting money?
I did it willingly...
Xiao Jin Heng didn't react much, glancing at Little Jie Kong indifferently. "Since the carriage has already been bought, Xi Tian might as well accept it!"
He wanted to see how much money this little monk had and how long he could last.
Little Xi Tian: "..."
You brat, can't you stop causing trouble?
"No!" Little Xi Tian wrinkled her little nose. "Even if we keep the carriage, we must ask the owner to return the difference in price for the golden ruyi, otherwise, the little monk will lose out big time..."
No wonder the shop owner so readily sold the carriage to the little monk; it turned out he paid too much.
Little Jie Kong heard this and dejectedly lowered his head. "Then, then, alright. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll take Xi Tian there!"
In fact, he didn't care about gold or silver at all. His master could make as many golden ruyis like that as he wanted...
But since Xi Tian insisted on helping him find the price difference, the little monk had to comply with her wishes, otherwise, Xi Tian would be angry.
Xiao Jin Heng chuckled. "Then I'll accompany Xi Tian tomorrow!"
The livestock market in the capital was extremely chaotic, with various thugs and bullies permanently occupying it. He was afraid the little village child would get hurt...
"Hey, Xiao, why are you joining the fun? You don't know martial arts!" Little Jie Kong said indignantly.
Xiao Jin Heng hooked the corner of his lips. "Little monk, why use fists when things can be resolved with words? Your reckless actions will lead to great losses in the future..."
"You don't need to worry about whether I'll suffer losses!" Little Jie Kong glared at him. "My master told me, if others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they offend me, I'll kill them!"
When it's time to yield, yield. When it's time to be firm, don't be too soft.
Xiao Jin Heng: "..."
Your master must be a violent maniac.
