Chapter 281 They are all masters

Princess Lingxi's expression changed instantly.

This was the first time in three months since she came to the Great Zhou that she had been refuted in person, and it was such a ruthless refutation.

So much so that she didn't react for a moment: "What did the county lady say?"

Xu Rongrong looked at her and said, "Why should I, the county lord of the Great Zhou, give face to you, the princess of the Northern Frontier?"

Princess Lingxi's face flushed red: "You! You! You! How could you be so unreasonable!"

"I'm unreasonable? The princess came in uninvited, so how can you say I'm unreasonable without any reason?" Xu Rongrong sneered.

She looked very different now from the taciturn person she was at the New Year's Eve dinner, and even more different from the sickly and weak person she was in Zhuxiang Yayuan before.

Although he is still as thin as before, he looks very sharp-tongued...

Princess Lingxi's eyes widened. "I'm a distinguished guest in the palace. Is this how you treat your guests in the Great Zhou?"

"The princess also knows that she is a guest?" Xu Rongrong glanced at her calmly, "Since she is a guest, she must naturally abide by the rules of the host family."

After saying that, she turned around and said to Luo Shu, "We've been out for so long and still haven't chosen any clothes. We need to hurry."

Luo Shu smiled and replied, "Yes, what do you plan to choose?"

Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly: "I don't think Zou Ji will have any good things. Come with me to Yang Ji Cloth Shop across the street."

"Yes."

Before Xu Rongrong left, she glanced at the bewildered shopkeeper kneeling on the ground and said, "As for you... since you dare to neglect me like this, then kneel here for a full hour." After saying that, she looked up at Princess Lingxi and said, "Princess, do you think she dares to get up?"

Princess Lingxi: "..."

Xu Rongrong left leisurely with Luo Shu, leaving behind Princess Lingxi and her servant, as well as the shopkeeper and the maid in the house.

Seeing Xu Rongrong walking away, Lingxi shouted coldly, "What are you still kneeling for? Get up now!"

The shopkeeper raised his head and stammered, "An hour... not long at all. I'll just kneel down..."

Lingxi gasped in anger when she heard this: "Are you afraid of her? A mere county lady has frightened you to death?"

The shopkeeper hung her head and said nothing. The last time she saw the eldest daughter of the Xu family was on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Back then, she was just a timid young woman, cautious in her words and actions, her every move dependent on Madam Xu's expression. Had he ever seen her so eloquent and imposing? Not only did she use her status as a county lord to bully herself, she also dispelled the arrogance of Princess Lingxi...

How could a shop owner who only takes advantage of the high prices and sells at low prices dare not listen to her?

Seeing this, Princess Lingxi stamped her feet in anger: "Waste! You are also useless. You are afraid of offending her, but aren't you afraid of offending me?"

The shopkeeper said nothing, but muttered to himself: "Although you are a princess, you will leave the Great Zhou sooner or later..."

"Okay!" Lingxi's eyebrows were raised in anger, and she shouted to the maid behind her, "Let's go!"

While everyone was feeling indignant, Xu Rongrong had already bought a suitable wedding dress at Yangji.

The last time Xu Rongrong came to Yangji to choose riding clothes for the hunting palace, she came with Mu Rong. When the shopkeeper saw the marquis dismiss the woman he wanted to take his measurements of, he knew that she must be special in the eyes of the Weiyuan Marquis. Now that she had been named the county lord, she naturally could not be neglected even more.

Not only did he serve her personally, he also specially invited the most experienced embroiderer to change the pattern for Xu Rongrong on the spot.

Xu Rongrong, who owned three shops and a pharmacy, was naturally not short of money. In addition to choosing a wedding dress for herself, she also selected two sets of four-season clothes for Wen Yao, Luo Shu, and Nanny Xiao, and also selected a set of four-season clothes for Wu Zhu and the others.

After a busy period, when she walked out of Yangji with Luoshu, the owner of Zouji Cloth Shop also stood up.

She rubbed her aching knee and was about to call a carriage to take her home when she saw the owner of Yang's shop seeing someone off outside the door: "These four boxes of clothes that the county lady has selected, I will send to your house right away."

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. It's a rare trip for you. I also want to take the girl for a walk."

"I dare not..." The owner of Yang's shop smiled.

Zou Ji on the opposite side looked at the four heavy sandalwood boxes and felt very regretful.

Xu Rongrong didn't even glance at her. She turned around and asked Luo Shu with a smile, "Do you want to go to the jewelry store?"

"Yes!" the girl answered crisply.

……

Xu Rongrong was used to wearing a plain appearance on weekdays, and she had not worn some of the head ornaments given by the palace before, so she went to the jewelry shop just to take Luo Shu for a stroll. However, she did not expect to see an acquaintance as soon as she entered.

"I saw this hairpin first. You are so unreasonable. How could you just come up and snatch it?" The voice was soft and cute. It was Xiao Ling'er who had not been seen for a long time. Standing opposite her was Princess Lingxi who had lost face in Zou Ji Cloth Shop before.

Xiao Ling'er didn't know Lingxi, nor did she know her identity. She just wanted to take her favorite hairpin back because it was stolen.

"How dare you! Do you know who is in front of you?" Lingxi was just filled with anger, and now it finally subsided. The maids around her naturally did not dare to let these outsiders make their princess angry again.

But just as she finished her words, she heard a light female voice: "Whoever she is, she should know the principle of first come, first served."

Lingxi suddenly turned around and her face froze!

Why is it her again!

"Sister Xu!" Xiao Ling'er heard the voice and immediately ran forward, grabbing Xu Rongrong's sleeve and asking coquettishly, "Why are you here? I heard that you were not feeling well, and mother told me not to disturb you. Did you receive the gift I gave you?"

When Xu Rongrong first returned to Beijing, she stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to see guests. Later, she moved to Zhuxiang Yayuan. Due to her physical fatigue, she turned down some visits. When Mrs. Xiao knew about it, she did not send a letter to disturb her, but instead sent some supplements and a sachet embroidered by Xiao Ling'er herself.

Seeing Xiao Ling'er asking, Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Of course I received the pigeon sachet you embroidered. It's hanging on the head of my bed."

"What pigeon? That's a wild goose!" Xiao Ling'er pouted, but her temper only lasted for a blink of an eye. The next moment, she smiled and asked, "Sister Xu, are you feeling better?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

"I think it's fine." Xiao Ling'er smiled.

As the two of them chatted, they left Princess Lingxi aside, making her feel embarrassed again.

The aura around her turned icy cold. Seeing this, the maid yelled at Xiao Ling'er, "Hey! How dare you ignore the princess!"

Xiao Ling'er turned her head and was about to speak when she heard Xu Rongrong speak first: "She's not called Hey. She's the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She can also be considered... the master."

After saying that, she raised the corners of her mouth.
