Dengzhou Prefecture is less than a hundred miles away from Shancang County. If they continue to walk and play, they should arrive in three days at most.

Shangguan Qingyue and Wan Linglong were responsible for carrying things, while Xuanyuan Yan and Shangguan Lan were responsible for... well, doing the labor.

As for the servants they brought with them, in order not to attract attention, they hid in the dark or took care of other things.

It has to be admitted that women of all ages have a special passion for shopping. Especially when two like-minded girlfriends get together, they become more and more addicted to shopping.

In addition, Shangguan Qingyue and Wan Linglong are different from those noble ladies who are raised in seclusion. Their legs and feet are more nimble than the other.

More than an hour passed, but I didn't feel tired at all.

Xuanyuan Yan was fine, but Shangguan Lan was a little overwhelmed. Helplessly, the two of them went to a teahouse to rest, while the two girls went to Zuiyuxuan excitedly.

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly thought that she had never given her fiancé a piece of valuable jewelry, but her dressing box was filled with various jade jewelry and... gold jewelry given by him.

Well, the love for gold should be a mark from the previous life.

Of course, there is not only jade in Zuiyuxuan. The first floor is filled with common objects, the second floor is filled with more valuable items, and the third floor is filled with treasures.

Shangguan Qingyue planned to pick out some pearl flowers, silver hairpins and other things on the first floor to give to the villagers, so she found a corner to sit down and asked the shop assistant to bring the things to her.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they reviewed the accessories, keeping their voices low so as not to disturb other guests.

Suddenly, in the midst of peace, a sharp voice was heard:

"Where did this country girl come from? She has no manners at all in public, and she keeps chattering and annoying me!

Shopkeeper, when did Zuiyuxuan become so cheap that you let in all kinds of people?! Get them out now, or I will have to go to the Treasure Pavilion to spend money!"

The shopkeeper hurried over upon hearing the sound, and following the woman's gaze, he saw two little girls picking pearl flowers.

Both of them were dressed in cloth, with almost no jewelry on their bodies. I guess they must be girls from ordinary families.

But even so, according to the rules of Zuiyuxuan, they couldn't just kick people out. Moreover, he was always there, and the two girls spoke in a low voice, so they wouldn't disturb others at all.

Are you kidding? This is not a bookstore. There is no reason why people are not allowed to talk.

So he bowed to the arrogant girl in front of him and said apologetically:

"It's my fault for disturbing your pleasure. How about I take you upstairs to have a look? We have recently launched several new pieces of jewelry, which are very popular..."

The shopkeeper was interrupted impatiently by the woman before he could finish his words. She pointed her bright red nail polish finger at Shangguan Qingyue and said angrily:

"Didn't you hear what I just said? How can such a nobody be qualified to enter Zuiyuxuan? Is this a vegetable market?

Why don't you drive them away quickly? "

Shangguan Qingyue was not someone who would swallow her anger. She glanced at the other person and thought to herself: So that's how it is.

This woman was none other than Zhao Qianyan, the eldest daughter of the governor's mansion who had just gotten engaged.

So she responded bluntly:

"Miss Zhao shouldn't be someone who despises the poor and loves the rich. Why do you look down on us because we come from the countryside?"

Zhao Qianyan didn't understand why she couldn't despise the poor and love the rich? Isn't that the case for everyone in the world?

So she asked directly: "What do you mean by that?"

Wan Linglong also understood what her friend meant, so she immediately said:

"Didn't Miss Zhao just get engaged to a poor scholar? Why are you speaking nonsense here and looking down on us?

Could it be that... you had no choice?"

If a woman was forced to get engaged, there was basically only one possibility, that was that she had lost her innocence. Moreover, the fact that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family was approached by someone to marry her was already known to everyone.

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the guests around her start whispering.

Zhao Qianyan clearly felt that there were several malicious eyes staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

When she first saw the appearance of Prince Yong'an's fiancée on Mount Dengyun, she felt that the woman must have been someone the prince had casually grabbed to use as a shield.

How could a bean sprout with ordinary looks and short stature be the future princess? ! (Shangguan Qingyue: You are the bean sprout, and so are your whole family!)

If it hadn't happened to rain heavily that night, and she had tried harder to show more of her talents and charm, maybe the prince would have looked at her differently!

Now that she has met him today, how could she let go of such a good opportunity? Naturally, she has to humiliate him!

Retracting her thoughts that had run away, she pointed her finger at the store manager who was standing respectfully by her side:

"Why are you still standing there? You are just a small jewelry store, are you really planning to go against our Governor's Mansion?!"

There was also a young lady from an official family who accompanied Zhao Qianyan shopping. She echoed in a tender voice:

"Why are you so stubborn and inflexible? Those two village girls probably can't even pay a tael of silver. Is it worth offending the governor's mansion for these two worthless things?"

To be honest, the shopkeeper is not afraid of offending a small governor's office. He is able to open Zuiyuxuan throughout the Da'an Kingdom. The identity of the boss behind them must be extraordinary.

But there seemed to be no need to confront them. Just when he was about to compensate the two girls and let them leave, he saw one of the girls in green clothes raised her hand and lifted her hair.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide. The bracelet...

So he walked quickly to Shangguan Qingyue and asked respectfully:

"Excuse me, both of you. I have a humble request. Could you please take another look at the jade bracelet on this girl's wrist?"

Shangguan Qingyue was a little surprised, but still extended her hand generously. The shopkeeper leaned forward to examine it carefully, and his eyes lit up more and more.

"A green peak enters the water, and a green dragon emerges from the pond. I was fortunate enough to have seen this exquisite jade bracelet once at Zui Yu Xuan in the capital, but I never thought I would be able to see it again in person today..."

Zhao Qianyan lost her composure when she heard this. "What good bracelet can a village girl wear, you dog slave..."

She was choked in the middle of her words. The jade bracelet was obviously of top quality, and she couldn't lie with her eyes open.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhao Qianyan's face turned very ugly.

"This jade bracelet is extremely rare in the world. Could this person have picked it up from somewhere or stolen it?" The girl who came with Zhao Qianyan exclaimed softly, covering her mouth.

Although the sound was not loud, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Shangguan Qingyue put the bracelet back on her wrist. She felt scared when she thought about how she had worn such a precious bracelet while climbing trees to pick fruits and diving to catch fish.

The key is that the person who gave it to her never mentioned it! Thinking of this, she wanted to run back to her residence immediately, find out the makeup box, and ask about it one by one.

If she accidentally broke something and only realized later that it was the treasure of someone else's store, she would probably not be able to eat for a long time!
