Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Several ladies in fancy dresses were talking to each other, sending mocking looks with their eyes as they spoke.

The young lady in the lead had a face as white as a silver plate and delicate features. She looked at the thin young lady who was being protected with great disdain.

She just brushed her sleeves away vigorously, made a light "swish", and spoke directly.

"Lin Qianqian, let me tell you, this time for disaster relief, our Jin family was the first to respond to your call and made a great effort in donating money and grain!

You are an orphan girl without any family background, and you can only live the life of a lady by relying on the mercy of adults. You must recognize your current situation. "

It turned out that the thin lady was called Lin Qianqian. Luo Xiaoran was choosing clothes while listening to the gossip over there.

"But my young lady liked this fabric first. Miss Jin, you are from a wealthy family, so there is no need to compete with my young lady for this."

Lin Qianqian's maid was trembling with fear, but she still dutifully protected her mistress with her arms outstretched, and complained for her.

"She saw it first? My young lady had agreed with the shopkeeper a long time ago that this cloth would be kept for her when the goods arrived. How could she have seen it first?"

Miss Jin's maid was not to be outdone and she directly tried to push the little maid who dared to challenge her lady.

Seeing that the situation was about to turn from verbal to physical, the chubby shop owner hurried out to smooth things over.

"Yes, Miss Jin left a message. Miss Lin, you were in a hurry to get it just now, and I didn't have the time to explain." After saying that, he quietly wiped the sweat from his head with a handkerchief.

Why didn't she explain? She explained very clearly to Miss Lin that the material was reserved for Miss Jin, as had been agreed upon earlier.

But although Miss Lin looked weak, her tone was very persistent and she insisted on having the piece that Miss Jin specifically mentioned.

Later, they happened to be bumped into Miss Jin who came out with a group of young ladies to get fabric, and the two sides started arguing.

If this continues, I will no longer be able to do business!

Luo Xiaoran: I can do it. We are two grown-ups who are still picking out clothes! You are busy trying to smooth things over, and you didn’t even send a maid to take care of things…

"Then our young lady..." Miss Lin's maid hadn't finished her words when her young lady held her hand and said, "Qing'er", signaling her to shut up.

Then the thin young lady came out from behind the maid, looking weak and frail, and bowed slowly.

When he raised his head, a pale face was revealed. Although not absolutely beautiful, it was very handsome.

The pair of clear eyes beneath the willow-leaf brows were now covered with a thin layer of mist. They looked at everyone hazily and innocently, making people unable to help but feel pity.

"In that case, it is really my fault. However, Qianqian did not want this cloth herself. Instead, my cousin asked me to buy it to make clothes for my lost cousin."

He changed the subject and pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Because my cousin and I have the same body shape, I bought the clothes and made them according to my body shape. When I find her one day, I can give the clothes to my cousin.

Miss Jin, you also know that the master loves his sister very much and has sent many people to look for her. "

What a great white lotus!

I wonder if Miss Jin, this domineering and arrogant flower, can defeat her.

The prefect of Changzhou is really a male beauty who brings disaster. Even when he bought a piece of cloth, there were people who were jealous of him.

Luo Xiaoran had already chosen her clothes and cloak, and asked the little girl who came late to the store to take her inside to try them on. She might not be able to hear clearly what happened next.

Miss Jin couldn't stand her any more. "Don't use the excuse of being the adults' sister. I think you just want it. This cloth was shipped from Kyoto. It's very expensive. How can an orphan like you get so much money?"

"Sister Jin, you are a forgetful person. Qianqian just said that this fabric is for my cousin, so the money is naturally paid by my cousin."

"Humph, my Lord has been working so hard for this disaster relief effort that he barely eats a meal. How could he ask you to come out and buy expensive fabrics at this stall?

It's obvious that you knew I had been fond of this fabric for a long time, and you came here on purpose to steal it away!"

"Sister Jin really wronged me. Didn't the shopkeeper just say that I didn't know about this before?"

Shopkeeper: You know the truth, but you insist on it. You are being unreasonable. I can’t offend both sides, so I can only smooth things over...

Oh, how long will this drag on?

Luo Xiaoran had already tried them on and decided to pay and leave. She had other things to buy and didn't want to delay too long.

What a pity, I can’t eat melons anymore.

She hasn't walked in an environment with law and order for a long time.

The street is full of small vendors, shops with a wide variety of goods, bustling with people, and filled with the atmosphere of life.

Even the clumsy fight just now seemed very interesting to her, letting her know that she was still alive, still living among the comings and goings of people, basking in the gentle sunshine.

Luo Xiaoran also wanted to go to the bookstore to look through some books to see if the words here were very different from the words in her previous life.

She also needed to buy some books introducing Daliang's history, territory, laws, and customs. She needed to understand the country she was in as soon as possible.

Although I had gotten some information out of Uncle Li and Qiu Niang before, it was all very scattered and general.

She has no memory of her original body and is not a native here. If she doesn't learn more about the place, she might make a fool of herself by showing her lack of common sense.

Walking along this street, I soon saw a bookstore called Xurixuan.

As soon as I entered, a waiter came to greet me, "What would you two ladies like to order?"

"Let's take a look ourselves first."

"Please, let me know if you need anything." The servant then stepped aside and continued with his work, very politely.

Luo Xiaoran glanced at the bookstore.

The counter is right at the entrance, and the shopkeeper is doing the accounting in the back.

Further inside are bookshelves and tables of various sizes.

The bookshelf is filled with papers and books, and the table is filled with pens, inks and inkstones of various styles.

She pulled Qiu Niang towards the bookcase filled with books and picked up a book at random. The characters were similar to the ancient characters in her previous life and she could mostly recognize them. Luo Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief.

I just don’t know how to write. Traditional Chinese characters have many strokes, so I’ll have to put in a lot of effort when I learn to write them.

"Qiu Niang, is there anything else you want to buy?" Luo Xiaoran looked at Qiu Niang, who had accompanied her all the way, and was as well-behaved as a porcelain doll.

"I have nothing else to add."

"Well, let's go back to the inn to find Uncle Li and Chen'er. Don't let them wait anxiously."

"it is good."

······

"Sister, you're back!" As soon as Luo Xiaoran and Qiu Niang entered the inn, Xiao Xingchen came running over happily, followed by Uncle Li.

"Sorry for waiting so long!" Luo Xiaoran rubbed Xiao Xingchen's head and looked at Uncle Li.

"Not really, Caicai, you're shopping much faster than most women. I've already ordered a table of food, come and have lunch!"

Luo Xiaoran: Uncle Li, you talk as if you have accompanied many women shopping...

Qiu Niang: I think so too...
