He went to a jewellery shop while Jein went to a grain shop.
Prince sha entered the shop and asked to show the best jewel in the shop .
" yes sir . But it's quite expensive "
" don't worry about money "
The shopkeeper nodded and showed some hairpins.
The moment he showed the hairpins, prince sha's eyes was attracted to one of the those pins.
He took that hairpin and looked it with a smile.
It had Lilly made of white pearl with dropping of ghungroos ( beads that make sound) . The bronze was carved with small dragon design. It was so beautiful.
Prince sha showed the hairpin and asked the price .
" sir , you have a good eye. It's 3 gold coins"
" Sure.pack that "
The shopkeeper packed it and handed it to him.
Prince sha kept it safely.
Jein reached a grain market and asked the price of grain.
" one kg of rice is 15 silver coins "
" what ? 15 silver coins ? Aren't you robberying in the broad daylight?"
" robbery ? "
The shopkeeper came near Jein and whispered ," aren't the government robberying from the merchants?"
" what ? I don't understand ."
" so , you are new here . Listen , the tax payed by a merchant for a month is 20 silver coins. We have daughters , how can we save dowry? "
" then for how many coins did you bought this grains?"
" 12 silver coin for 1 kg "
" what? Who sold it to you ?"
" I bought from the majestrate . And they get this imported from Daxin."
" Daxin? Isn't it far from changan?"
" it is . That's why the price is high "
" okay then I am leaving "
Jein left the shop and went back to the inn.

Xiao and her group came and sat in their places .
Looking at her , Palin and xue smirked .
Xue uttered to Palin," bro , I couldn't control my laugh "
" same here . My mind thinks something"
" same here " a voice came from Mailing.
" you know that thing ?" Asked Xue.
" of course. "
They laughed together.
Ruyi: Fao, something is weird . The class use to be silent but today it's different .
Fao: they are gossiping today. But i don't know what they are gossipping about .
Soon the teacher came and everyone greeted him and stopped their chit chats . Mr.Omin was teaching calligraphy . So , the students were asked to write an essay on nature.
The students started writing. Their hands were busy writing while their mouths were busy talking .
Xue asked Wang," can we do something?"
Wang : wait until the class interval.now bite your tongue . We should be perfect in our things . At least on the surface .
Xue nodded and continued writing.
The bell rang after some time and the students went out .
Xiao was sitting on the last seat and when she came front to go out, she got slipped and before falling she held Xue's shoulder.
Xue immediately covered her chest with both hands. Wang and Palin laughed while Xiao didn't understand anything and took her hands from her like she has touched a hot pan.
Xiao didn't say anything and left the class .
After her legs stepped out of the class , lavender group laughed loudly.
Ruyi , shana and Fao watched them.
Ruyi: they are singing a different tune today . ( behaving differently )
Fao: yeah . Let's go out now.
They three went out . After watching them leaving , our boys left too.
Zayi went to Ruyi and said ," you did a great job"
Ruyi looked him with perplex .
" what did I do?"
Zayi looked at Fei and Mailing.
Fei: don't look at me . I don't know anything .
Mailing : me either.
It was a pure lie .
Zayi with no choice fluttered his eyelids .
Fao: spit it out man!
Shana: yeah ,shoot .
Zayi went near Shana and whispered ," I heard that Xiao peeked at Ruyi while bathing and Ruyi poured water on her "
Shana hearing this pulled her coat and folding her hands looked at Ruyi. Mortifying herself she uttered ," they are speaking about the thing happened in the morning in a different way"
Ruyi: what happened in the morning ?
Shana: in the bathroom.
Ruyi interrupted and said ," Oh, that thing . She threw lizard on the water and I poured the same water on her . "
Fei blinked his eyes and asked," only this happened ?"
Fao replied him ," yeah , she was willing to put the lizard on me but due to my fortune I escaped ."
Hearing this the three boys laughed until their stomach ached.
Ruyi asked," why?"
And Shana explained it .
Ruyi's throat choked a second .
" what ? Is everyone speaking about this nonsense? "
" yes " replied mailing .
Fei sighed and said ," so this is the reason why Xue did like that "
Fei chuckled.
Ruyi : it's so embarrassing even though it's not true.
Everyone laughed again.
In white group ,
Han went to Xiao in a weird way while the nerd and skinny chuckled.
Xiao: are you two laughing because my legs slipped in the class? You're never fallen ?
Nerd: we didn't laugh for that
" then for what ?"
Same here . How could they say this openly ? Han had already told these to Chi.
And Chi came to Xiao nervously and whispered these things .
" what ? Whaak ! Who spread this rumour ? Do i look like a pervert ?"
" rumour ? Was it a lie " asked Han. He felt relieved .
She explained everything to them .
And again the news was spread and everyone knew the truth.
From then on , Xiao was called as lizard behind her back .
Nicknames are an important part of a student's life. Some hate it and complain about it to teachers while some call each other with nicknames. Non- matured lovers have more nicknames . And that will be funny for others to hear. 😁
