"Anyway, I’ve learned how to make it, too. When I go back, I’ll have someone make it! I’ll send some to you once it’s done! This stuff can last a long time once it’s dried!" Shen Songming declared.

Pei Qin didn’t bother with him, just asked him when he was leaving. If he stayed longer, who knew what trouble he’d stir up!

"I’m just staying for a few more days, what’s the rush to kick me out!?" Shen Songming complained, disgruntled, "You haven’t explained the mechanical watch to me again. What if there are parts I don’t understand when I’m getting someone to make it!?"

Pei Qin stepped forward and aimed a kick at his butt, "You idiot! After explaining so much, you still don’t understand!?"

Shen Songming yelped, "I understand, I understand! If you say I get it, then I get it, alright?"

Pei Qin kicked him again before stopping, "Get lost as soon as possible! Don’t dawdle here!"

Shen Songming could only use his eyes to express his strong dissatisfaction, saying he’d stay for two more days before leaving, hoping to wait until the soy sauce was ready.

Pei Qin almost kicked him again, but on his last day, she made him a whole table full of all the food he wanted to eat.

Sun Xiujin came over again to bring rice cakes and was taken aback by the full table of various foods.

"I’ve already said I’m leaving tomorrow, and you still can’t let me spread it over two days!" Shen Songming adopted a wronged look, as if humiliated, holding his chopsticks and getting full with just a bite of each dish.

"Young Master Shen is leaving tomorrow!?" Sun Xiujin exclaimed in shock.

Shen Songming grunted in affirmation.

"Back to... Jinan Prefecture?" Sun Xiujin felt a chill in her heart.

"Back to Capital Jingcheng!" Shen Songming ate a few more bites stubbornly and decided not to write to Pei Qin for the next two months, hmph!

Sun Xiujin’s face turned a shade paler, "Young Master Shen, your family is from Capital Jingcheng?"

Shen Songming grunted again.

Pei Qian watched Sun Xiujin leave in a hurry with a cold look and pursed her lips.

Shen Songming packed two sacks of sweet potatoes to bring with him and, before leaving, threw a box to Pei Qin, "Your Coming-of-Age birthday is in December, and I might not be able to make it. Here’s your birthday gift, I’ll give it to you in advance!"

Pei Qin caught the box.

"My birthday is next year on March third, you’d better remember to prepare a gift for me, too! We must reciprocate!" He was about to board the carriage yet didn’t forget to lean out and remind her again.

"Got it!" Pei Qin responded irritably.

Seeing her not the least bit reluctant to part, Shen Songming sullenly dropped the carriage curtain. He wouldn’t bother with her for two months!

Sun Xiujin watched the carriage drive away, her face flushed with embarrassed anger. She glanced at Pei Qin, bit her lip, and turned to leave.

Back at home, Pei Qian reached out to take the box he had given, "Let’s see what it is!"

Opening the box, inside lay a jadeite hairpin carved entirely from emerald jade.

Pei Qian’s eyes lit up as she picked it up to examine it, trying it on Pei Qin’s hair, "Big sister! You like to wear your hair in a bun, so from now on use this hairpin! The emerald color isn’t as glaring as a gold pin, and it can even be worn during mourning period!" That’ll show that no-good Sun Xiujin!

Pei Qin didn’t particularly care; she wasn’t good at doing her hair and didn’t have the patience for complicated hairstyles. She simply tied her hair up in a bun, which was simple and convenient. She glanced at the jadeite hairpin, "Jade things break easily; they’re not as good as my silver hairpin!"

The silver hairpin she wore on her head was the Fish Head Pure Silver Hairpin that Pei Yuan had bought her during the Lantern Festival, which she was now used to.

"Then save it to wear for your Coming-of-Age ceremony!" Pei Qian was very pleased with the jadeite hairpin that Shen Songming had sent.

Feng Bo was also very pleased with his new Silver Step Shake. Girls all liked these things; he had seen that Pei Qin always wore a Fish Head Silver Hairpin on her head, now worn and tarnished, not even pretty. This Silver Step Shake would surely be to her liking as a gift.
