Treat her differently?

To be honest, before she knew the value of this ointment, Shangguan Qingyue didn't realize it at all. That man had a ruler in his hand almost all the time, and he either beat or scolded her, without any awareness of sympathy for her. How could he be good to her?!

As for this ointment, it is extremely precious to them, but to him, it may just be something within reach. Shangguan Qingyue didn't want to become a self-indulgent joke, so he retorted:

"Eldest sister, you must be overthinking it. The Third Prince said a long time ago that the teacher-student relationship between the two of us is limited to the days in the village. After he leaves, we will have no connection anymore."

Shangguan Yunxin shook her head in disapproval.

"Then how do you explain this ointment? Yue'er, you are the one who is confused."

"What are you sisters talking about? Do you want me to take you out shopping?"

Baili Nanqing's arrival interrupted the conversation between the two sisters. With her came Xiao Shitou, who had been quiet and well-behaved in the past few days.

He was very sensitive at a young age, and his intelligence was far beyond his peers. Since coming to Beijing, he had put away his lively and active personality, and spent his days in the yard playing with his pets.

Shangguan Qingyue was shocked to realize that she had not paid enough attention to the little guy recently. So she looked at Baili Nanqing and said:

"Mother, please find a teacher for Little Stone. Although he is smart, he still needs guidance.

Also, I hope to bring him along to the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner."

Baili Nanqing rubbed the little guy's furry head and said as a matter of course:

"That's natural. Little Stone is one of our family members, so it's only natural for him to attend the family dinner. If someone doesn't welcome us, I, your mother, will prepare another set of food so that our family can celebrate the holiday more comfortably.

As for a teacher, I have asked your elder brother to look for one a long time ago. But this child is too smart, and it is not easy to find a teacher who can teach him. "

Little Stone shook Baili Nanqing's arm and said coquettishly:

"My beautiful mother-in-law, I want to be with Ruoxi. Just find a husband for us. Anyway, whatever Ruoxi likes, I like too!"

"You little fledgling have already decided on Ruoxi, right? You love to stick to her no matter what you do."

Little Stone nodded seriously, "Yes! Ruoxi is the best. Besides Ruoxi, my second favorite is the beautiful mother-in-law!"

People who heard the childish talk couldn't help laughing. Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but pull the little guy over and kiss him on the little face.

"Let's go shopping and buy lots of delicious food and fun things for our little Shitou!"

Little Stone: "Then Ruoxi, can you buy me a sword that's right for me? I don't want to use a small wooden sword anymore. It's not impressive at all!"

Shangguan Qingyue: "Well, wait until you grow up a little bit."

Little Stone: "But I think I have grown up!"

……

When they went out that day, Xiao Shitou took off the Confucian scarf that covered her hair, and Shangguan Yunxin combed her hair meticulously, for fear that it would block her cheeks.

The two Baili brothers, who had never been able to find a chance to please the beauty, finally came in handy this time. Baili Nanqing, her mother and daughter, plus a little kid were responsible for shopping in the front, while the two brothers were responsible for acting as guards and servants to carry things.

It is said that shopping with a woman is the most tiring thing. The two brothers were holding things that almost covered their faces, but they did not seem to be impatient at all. The only difference was that one was smiling brightly, while the other had a calm face and a resolute look.

The combination of them was really strange, attracting passers-by to stop and watch and whisper about it. But the parties walked with their heads held high, open and generous.

In less than half an hour, the news that Shangguan Yunxin's face was ruined spread to everyone. Some people sighed, some gloated, and some sympathized.

However, the sympathetic people were divided into two groups. One group naturally sympathized with Shangguan Yunxin for suffering such a disaster and fearing that she would have to live in pain for the rest of her life. The other group sympathized with Yang Chengping, the youngest son of the Yang family, who was engaged to her.

Marrying an ugly wife would be disgusting, right? Even if you just leave her at home and ignore her, it would still be disgusting.

After walking around most of the street market, even the most energetic Xiao Shitou became a little wilted and kept shouting that he wanted to go to the teahouse to rest.

Baili Nanqing did not agree, but took the group to the door of a dim sum shop.

The shop was in a prime location, right next to Chang'an Street and only a mile away from the imperial palace. All the people living around it were families of princes, nobles, or officials of the third rank or above.

Shangguan Qingyue looked up at the two-story dim sum shop with envy. She had recently been planning to open a store in the capital, but she was still slowly planning what to do.

But in a place like this where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to find a satisfactory place.

Baili Nanqing put his arm around his little daughter's shoulders and asked:

"It looks good, doesn't it? But the food inside is a bit monotonous."

"It's more than good. I really envy the owner of the shop. This location will be great for any business!"

"That's great. Then mother will give it to you. You can do whatever you want."

Shangguan Qingyue looked at Baili Nanqing in surprise.

"Mother wants to buy this shop? Let's not talk about whether the owner will agree or not, the price alone will be sky-high!"

Shangguan Yunxin smiled and said, "Why would you buy anything? This is my mother's shop!"

Shangguan Qingyue: (⊙o⊙)

Shangguan Qingyue was still confused when they walked in and were escorted to the private room on the second floor by the shopkeeper. Is this place hers from now on? ? ?

She suddenly stood up with great enthusiasm, rolled up her sleeves twice to reveal two white wrists, which were quickly put back by Shangguan Yunxin.

Baili Jinlin's face flushed and he quickly turned his head away. Baili Jinheng, who was usually stern, also had an unnatural blush under his wheat-colored skin. He picked up the teacup to hide the discomfort on his face.

Shangguan Qingyue chuckled twice and said:

"Mother, you guys take a rest first. I want to look around and draw a sketch when I get back. Please hire the best craftsman for me. This shop needs a thorough makeover!"

An idea has already taken shape in Shangguan Qingyue's mind. She has to plan it well. Maybe the idea she had always dreamed of in her previous life can be realized in this strange world. Just thinking about it makes her excited!

"My little cousin, I'm not tired at all. I'll accompany you so that your aunt can feel more at ease."

Baili Jinlin stood up first, and smiled provocatively at Baili Jinheng. He was lively and outgoing, and he was not comparable to the taciturn third brother.

Baili Jinheng was not annoyed at all and said:

"Leave the renovation of your cousin's shop to me. I helped my mother run it a lot back home, so I have some experience in this area."

Baili Jinlin's eyes widened instantly, "Third brother, when did you manage Second Aunt's shop? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Oh, when you were following other boys around to tease cats and dogs."

Baili Jinlin: Puff——kill people and destroy their hearts!
