"Miss Lin, there are three most famous clothing stores in Linzhou City, namely Madam Mu's Clothing Store, Shui Lianyi, and Mo's Clothing Shop."

Gu San introduced the ready-made clothing shops in Linzhou City. This was information he had obtained after inquiring for a long time.

His attitude was extremely respectful, completely different from his usual strong character. Even Chang Qing couldn't help but suspect that he was a "lackey" in disguise.

After listening to Gu San's introduction, Lin Qiu'er didn't know which one to go to first, so she asked him, "What are the differences between these three stores?"

"Well, Mo's Clothing Shop is the property of Lord Mo, the co-governor of Linzhou. Shui Lianyi is said to be opened by aristocrats from the imperial city, and Madam Mu's Garment Shop is an old store opened by the Mu family, a local clan in Linzhou." Gu San explained.

"Then let's go to Madam Mu's clothing store first." Lin Qiuer said.

Gu San nodded in agreement and led the way, and the group walked towards Madam Mu's clothing shop.

Along the way, Lin Qiuer observed that the three garment shops were lined up in a row, with Mojia Clothing Shop and Shui Lianyi located at the two ends of the street respectively, and Mrs. Mu's Garment Shop was located in the middle.

Walking into Madam Mu’s clothing store, Lin Qiuer immediately felt that this shop was interesting.

The clothes in the shop come in a variety of colors, looking rich and harmonious.

Solid-colored ready-to-wear clothes come in both bright tones and calm black, white and gray.

"Boss, first bring me three sets of men's clothing that are suitable for me, in black, white and gray."

Lin Qiuer was still not used to clothes with too bright colors, so she made a decision quickly and spoke to the female shopkeeper sitting behind the counter.

The female shopkeeper secretly praised Lin Qiuer for her accurate vision. She stood up and went to the inner room to take out three sets of men's clothes in black, white and gray.

"My lady, these three sets of clothes are made of the finest Liusha cloth in our embroidery workshop. You can go to the inner room and try them on. Once you put them on, you will be able to feel their quality."

Lin Qiuer observed that the female shopkeeper's eyes revealed her love for the three sets of ready-made clothes.

This was the first time she had seen such a strong feeling of love since she came here.

It was precisely because of seeing this look in the female shopkeeper's eyes that she became more convinced that she had come to the right place.

After taking the clothes, Lin Qiuer went into the inner room to try them on, while Gu Anqing and Lin Nanye brothers stayed outside waiting.

When Lin Qiuer changed into black clothes and walked out from the inner room, everyone's eyes brightened.

Although Chang Qing has become accustomed to his young master's handsome appearance, he still can't help but sigh, what a smart and handsome young man!

When Gu Anqing saw Lin Qiuer in men's clothes, he was stunned for a moment.

Lin Qiuer in women's clothing is as elegant as a chrysanthemum. Although she is extremely powerful, he can't help but want to protect her behind him.

Lin Qiuer, dressed in men's clothing, is as calm and steady as a pine tree. Although she is small in stature, she makes people believe that she can solve all problems.

"How do you feel about this outfit?"

Lin Qiuer looked down at the clothes she was wearing and felt that they fit her very well. After turning around proudly, she couldn't help but ask everyone for their opinions.

Different from the hidden appreciation between Gu Anqing and his servant, the praise from the two brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue was direct and straightforward.

Lin Nanyue exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Little sister, if you dress like this, people in the village will think that your mother gave birth to another boy."

"It's much more beautiful than Nanyue." Lin Nanye praised sincerely.

Lin Nanyue pointed at her nose in disbelief. Just as she was about to say something to Lin Nanye, she saw Lin Qiuer's expectant look. She immediately took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and praised,

"Not only is he more handsome than me, he's also more handsome than Third Brother. Don't you think so, Third Brother?"

Lin Nanye felt helpless about Lin Nanyue's childishness. It was just an analogy, so why did he take it so seriously?

Lin Qiu'er was also very satisfied with her new outfit, and asked Gu Anqing and Changqing, "Mr. Gu, Changqing, what do you think of this outfit?"

Gu Anqing came back to his senses, a proper smile appeared on his face, and he said what Lin Qiuer wanted to hear, "Brother Lin is really a handsome young man."

Chang Qing smiled exaggeratedly, clapped his hands, and said, "After Miss Lin shows up in this outfit, I'm afraid the most popular young man among the girls in Lingao County will have to be replaced."

Lin Qiu'er was overjoyed by their praise, but she forced herself to put on an indifferent expression and waved her hand,

"No, no, I'm still a little inferior to Master Gu. When I grow up a little more, I will definitely surpass Master Gu. Hahahaha..."

After saying that, she excitedly tried on two sets of men's suits, one gray and one white.

After trying them all, Lin Qiuer decided to buy two sets of men's clothing, one in black and one in white, and also matched them with two pairs of shoes and a headband.

It was already lunch time after they finished their shopping, so they found a nearby restaurant to eat.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively and the lobby on the first floor was full of guests.

There were too many of them, so they chose a private room on the second floor.

It was only shortly after they started eating that they heard a commotion coming from the private room next door.

Gu Anqing didn't care and continued to enjoy the meal calmly. After running around for a whole morning, Lin Qiu'er and her two siblings were very hungry, and no one was interested in what happened next door.

However, the quarrel next door was getting louder and louder.

Seeing this, Chang Qing stood up and went to check the situation, and returned after a while.

"What's going on next door?" Gu Anqing noticed which dish Lin Qiuer liked to eat, and quietly moved the plate towards her, and asked casually.

While Lin Nanyue was eating with big mouthfuls, she raised her head and looked curiously in the direction of Changqing.

"It was the second and third young masters of the Tongzhi family who were arguing.

I heard from the waiter in the restaurant that the second young master was born to the wife of the Tongzhi, while the third young master was born to the concubine.

In Linzhou city, everyone said that the second young master of the Tongzhi family was uneducated and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

The third young master is the opposite. He is already a student of Qinglan Academy in the prefectural city at a young age and is very outstanding. "

"Is that so..." Gu Anqing nodded thoughtfully.

"I didn't expect that we and the Tongzhi family are so destined to be together." Lin Qiu'er suddenly said,

"I remember that old woman in the flower house said that the night before my eldest brother disappeared, there was a commotion in Cuiyun Tower all night because the third young master of the Tongzhi family was hosting a dinner there."

She paused, glanced at Gu Anqing, and continued, "But speaking of which, Master Gu, the Tongzhi is also considered an official family. Can the child born by the concubine challenge the son born by the principal wife?"

Gu Anqing could see that Lin Qiuer was extremely disgusted with concubines, or more accurately, she was very disgusted with men who casually took concubines.

So he explained, “In the Gu family, there has never been a custom of taking concubines.”

"But there is a maidservant." Lin Nanyue remembered what Gu Anqing had said before, so she added.

"Miss Lin, you probably don't know that in the imperial city, if a man doesn't have a maid before getting married, it's disrespectful to his wife." Chang Qing explained, "All well-established families do this. Besides, our young master hasn't gotten engaged yet."

In fact, Lin Qiuer just disliked those men who fell in love with every woman they met, and she didn't want to ask about the affairs of the Gu family.

The topic suddenly developed to this point, which made her a little confused. How did it develop like this?

"I'm just curious whether the situation in Tongzhi's family is abnormal. Why are you suddenly so excited?" Lin Qiuer asked puzzledly.

Gu Anqing realized that he had overreacted. Miss Qiu'er didn't seem to care whether she had a maidservant.

Thinking of this, he felt a little frustrated and didn't know how to express his thoughts to her.

"Miss Lin is right. The situation in Tongzhi's family is indeed abnormal." Changqing saw the young master's disappointment and took over the topic to explain.

"But the waiter at the restaurant also said that outsiders say that the Tongzhi and his wife have a deep relationship."
