I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

It would normally take half a day to walk, but Yuan Feng set out alone and walked faster, so it only took less than an hour.

If he hadn't wasted time practicing Shadow Escape, he would have been even faster.

When he arrived at the gate of Ping'an County, he saw two lines of troops standing in neat rows, holding gongs and drums, as if they were there to welcome some important person.

Of course Yuan Feng would not be so narcissistic as to think that this was a chance to pick him up, as the news of him being the Prince's Guardian had not yet spread.

Seeing so many people, he walked in through the side door.

When I walked through the side door, I was strictly checked by the security guard.

Now it was even more certain that an important person was coming, otherwise the gate guards would not have the time to check the people entering the city one by one.

After entering the city, Yuan Feng had a clear goal and his first stop was to go to the rouge and powder shop.

"Shop owner, give me ten sets of your best rouge and lipstick!" As soon as he entered the store, Yuan Feng didn't hesitate and asked for ten sets with a wave of his hand.

Being rich means being willful.

The shop owner was taking a nap behind the counter when he suddenly heard someone shouting for the most expensive rouge and lipstick, and he instantly woke up from all sleepiness.

Yo! Big customer!

"Look at this, sir. This is Hongxia Rouge. It's the signature product of our store. Young girls and young women all love it. The color is soft and beautiful, bright red but not eye-catching. It's only 288 yuan per piece!"

"Two hundred and eighty-eight? Copper coins?" Yuan Feng was stunned.

"Sir, you are such a joker. It's two hundred and eighty-eight silver rouged. This rouge is made through ninety-nine eighty-one processes. The color is natural and red like clouds. I think it's worth the price."

Looking at the shop owner holding a rouge cake that was not even as wide as his fist, Yuan Feng suddenly felt a little toothache.

Damn it, you’re showing off. I shouldn’t have ordered ten sets.

The lipstick is not included. Just these ten pieces of rouge will cost him 2,880 silver coins, and another three spirit stones.

But it’s already been packed, and I can’t take it back: “Pack it up first, and then look at the lipstick.”

"Lipstick, sir, please come this way. I will introduce you to the best one."

After half a stick of incense.

Yuan Feng bought ten sets of rouge and lipstick, spending a total of three spirit stones.

This was even after the store owner saw that he bought a lot and gave him a discount.

After leaving the rouge shop, he realized that he had no limit to spending money. He thought that buying rouge and lipstick would cost a few hundred taels of silver at most.

Having learned his lesson, he became much more low-key when he went shopping for clothes. He did not seek the most expensive ones, but only the ones that looked good.

But nice looking ones are also expensive.

"How much is this underwear?"

"Sir, you have good taste. This is top-quality material with a gold thread pattern. It costs ninety-nine silver coins per piece."

A piece of underwear costs ninety-nine silver coins, which is a bit expensive.

But there is a reason why it is expensive. Yuanfeng likes this style very much.

"I want this one. Three sets each of the extra large and small sizes."

"Extra large? Are you sure you want this size?"

"determine."

"Okay, I'll pack it up for you right away. Are you going to buy it back home as a gift for your wife or concubine? They are so lucky."

"Here's the money."

Yuan Feng was too lazy to explain. The shopkeepers all guessed this about the women's clothing he bought. It was difficult for him to explain, after all, his family relationships were complicated.

This trip to buy clothes cost him another full spiritual stone.

After shopping, he was exhausted and felt that shopping was not something a human being should do.

Instead of having this much time, he would rather do more farm work at home and take care of herbs.

The shopping was finally over and it was time for him to get down to business.

The place to do business is Wang's house, to sell the tail hair of his treasure beast.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, it was so lively.

The scene was crowded with people, and Yuan Feng had a hard time squeezing in.

Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by the servant.

"What are you doing? This is the Wang family, can you just walk in casually?"

"I'm here to sell the tail hair of the treasure beast. I've discussed it with Young Master Wang Wencai." Yuan Feng explained quickly.

"So you are doing business." The servant's tone was much better. "We have a distinguished guest coming to our house today. Please go in through the back door. Liu Guanjia is over there. If you want to talk about business, go to him."

"understood."

Yuan Feng didn't waste any time, he pushed through the crowd and went around to the back door.

Seeing that the back door was closed, he went forward and knocked twice.

Soon someone came out to watch the door.

"Who?"

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with an easy-going appearance.

"Is that Butler Liu? I'm a businessman. Young Master Wang Wencai asked me to come here."

"It's me, really doing business?" Butler Liu frowned, "It's so busy today, business has been suspended, why did Master Wencai still let people come?"

Yuan Feng was not easy to talk to. Today was a day he chose himself, and it had nothing to do with Wang Wencai.

"Come in, now that you're here, we can't let you go back." Butler Liu made way and motioned Yuan Feng to go in.

"I just saw that it was quite lively over there. What was going on?" Yuan Feng asked as he walked.

"You're talking about this." Butler Liu puffed out his chest, his pride evident in his words, "The governor of nine counties is visiting our Wang family today, so of course it's going to be lively."

"Governor of Nine Counties? Guo Mingdao?"

"Isn't this Lord Guo? You too, don't shout Lord Guo's name so loudly. He is right at the front door now. If he hears you, I will punish you for disrespect, and I will also be implicated."

"He can't hear me from this far away. Besides, I just came through the gate and he's not here yet."

Yuan Feng didn't say that his official title was much higher than the governor of nine counties, but he just didn't want to show off.

"You have to be careful, Master Wencai is really something. He had to pick such an important day to ask you to come." Butler Liu complained again, "You always do things so carelessly."

"Just last time, he told me that a poor boy named Yuan Feng would come to sell the hair of a precious beast in a few days, and asked me to bargain hard. The hair of a precious beast is scarce now, and the price of ordinary hair has doubled. The price of high-quality hair has even increased to five spirit stones. Asking me to bargain hard is like destroying the business. But there is nothing I can do. I am just a servant and can only do what the young master tells me to do."

Yuan Feng raised his eyebrows, having heard something extraordinary.

It turned out that Wang Wencai was waiting here to trick him, no wonder he made such harsh remarks before leaving.

Yuan Feng also sighed that he had chosen a good day to come here today. If the Wang family had not been so busy, he would not have been able to hear such exciting content.

"By the way, little brother, you said you came here to do business, what kind of business is that?"

"The tail hair of the treasure beast."

"Hmm." Butler Liu was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked Yuan Feng up and down. A bad premonition came to his mind, "May I ask your name, little brother?"

"Yuan Feng."

Butler Liu's hand holding the scale froze in mid-air.

After a long while, he said awkwardly: "Brother Yuan Feng, I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

"I regarded those things mentioned above as nonsense by Butler Hu. But these ounces of top-quality tail hair and five spirit stones are not nonsense, right?" Yuan Feng said deliberately.

"Ah, of course not." The words had been spoken, and Butler Liu did not dare to follow Wang Wencai's instructions. After all, he had told everyone clearly, and if he still tried to lower the price, the other party would go and sell it to someone else.

"That's good." Yuan Feng handed over the prepared package, "Master Wang Wencai checked it last time and it's top-quality tail hair. Please check it again and weigh it again."

"Okay." Butler Liu took the package, opened it, and grabbed it regularly. "It is indeed top-quality, without impurities. You can weigh it."

The result from weighing was the same as last time, still 2.3 jin, not one liang less or one liang more.

"Two catties and three ounces, one ounce and five spirit stones, a total of 115 spirit stones, do you have any objection, little brother Yuan Feng?"

"No, give me the spirit stone."

"Please wait a moment. I'll take it."

Soon, Butler Liu came back with a bulging small package. He handed it to Yuan Feng, who counted it and confirmed that it was 115 spirit stones, without any mistake.

"Hey, isn't this Yuan Feng? You finally made it into the city?"

Just as I put away the spirit stone, I heard a sarcastic voice coming from not far away.

Yuan Feng remembered this voice, it was none other than Wang Wencai.

"Butler Liu, did you just collect the Yuanfeng tail hair? How is it? Did you follow my instructions and give a high price?"

Wang Wencai asked the housekeeper Liu arrogantly, but the housekeeper Liu did not dare to answer and just avoided his eyes.

Of course the price was high, but it was a high price after the failure, not what Wang Wencai meant.

Wang Wencai frowned, and seeing the expression on Butler Liu's face, he immediately knew what was going on. Now that Yuan Feng hadn't left yet, he couldn't get angry, so he just said viciously:

"Butler Liu, everyone says you are very considerate, but it seems you didn't treat our distinguished guest Yuan Feng well. Wait, I will settle the score with you later."

"Master Wang, don't say anything nonsense. Butler Liu does a good job." Yuan Feng deliberately disgusted Wang Wencai, "The price is fair. One pound of top-quality tail hair is five spirit stones for me."

"Five dollars?!" Wang Wencai gnashed his teeth in anger, "Butler Liu, I really wronged you."

"Ouch!" Butler Liu knelt down hurriedly, "Master, it's my fault."

"You are right. Go ahead and get your reward in the kitchen." Wang Wencai said with a gloomy face.

When Butler Liu heard this, his face turned pale. The kitchen was not a place to receive rewards; it was clearly a place to receive punishment.

But as a servant, he had no right to refuse: "Thank you for the reward, Master. I am leaving now."

Butler Liu left in a lonely manner. Wang Wencai didn't even look at him. He put on a kind smile and looked at Yuan Feng.

"Yuan Feng, you are here. I have never forgotten the promise we made last time to come to my Wang family for tea. It just so happens that the Governor of Nine Counties, Lord Guo, is visiting today and has set up a few tables for a banquet. Come and have a meal with us."

Yuan Feng sensed the meaning of the weasel's greetings to the chicken, and knew that Wang Wencai had no good intentions.

But considering the assassination, he had already planned to give Guo Mingdao some peace of mind. Now was a good opportunity to meet him and it would be a pity not to seize it.

"Okay, it would be a waste if you don't eat it."

"I can't hold you to death!"

Wang Wencai sneered in his heart. A meal was nothing to his Wang family, but he was extremely excited when he thought about being able to regain some face in Yuan Feng's side with the help of his relationship with the governor of nine counties.

He will severely humiliate Yuan Feng later.
