There are many clothes sellers on this street, most of them are gorgeous clothes. Many maids of princes and nobles accompany their wives and daughters to the shops to choose clothes.

Their clothes were all bought by Qi Rong at the beginning. Because they were poor, they had not thought of buying more sets. Now looking at these colorful clothes, he could not control his urge to spend money.

Yuan Lai and An An entered a clothing store that didn't look that expensive.

"We don't have much money, so just take a look." He said just take a look, but after a while, An An was holding three sets of clothes in her hands and smiling brightly, and the boss behind her was smiling even brighter than An An.

"This girl is obviously a connoisseur of goods. I have a lot of new ready-made clothes in the back. Would you like to take a look?"

"No, no, no," Yuan Lai quickly stopped An An and pulled her out of the store.

An An woke up as if from a dream, looked at her empty pockets, and felt extremely regretful. "What happened? Where's my money? Did it grow wings and fly away?"

A gorgeous carriage stopped at the fabric shop opposite. The servant helped a man down from the carriage. Yuan Lai looked at the man's face and finally, the third person appeared.

This person looks exactly like Geng Yun, and judging by his clothes, he should be of high status.

"Oh, Your Highness, you're here! The fabric prepared for the princess is on the way, but it will take a few days to arrive! If I had known you were coming, I would have hurried the guys."

"No problem. I came here today to pick out some plain and elegant fabrics for Princess Yunhe. Last time she attended the palace banquet, she usually wore clothes that were too bright and colorful, and the Queen Mother didn't like them."

"Okay, I'll have my guys prepare it right away!"

When the prince entered the store, the owner immediately kicked out the other customers who were shopping.

"Is there anyone who chases customers away in business? Aren't customers God?" An An was born in modern times and had no concept of the supremacy of imperial power. She circled around the prince's carriage and Yuan Lai couldn't stop her no matter how hard he tried.

Hearing An An's complaints, the people eagerly asked, "You're not from Xihu, are you? You don't even recognize Prince Jing Murong Zheng? This is the third prince of the late emperor, the current emperor's favorite brother. He saved the emperor from danger twice, and he holds military power. Who wouldn't be afraid of him?"

Wow, what a great male lead setting.

Yuan Lai thought that Geng Yun's face was actually quite suitable for everyone, from royals to peddlers.

But this Prince Jing looks quite serious, and he is probably on a parallel line with them, so there is not much chance for them to come into contact, but it would be nice to take a look at him.

After Prince Jing finished selecting the fabric, he walked out of the shop and got into the carriage. There was always someone staring at him, but there was no murderous intent at all. He lifted the curtain and looked for the source of the gaze.

Unfortunately, everyone who caught his eye lowered their heads and dared not look at him. He lowered the curtain and said, "Go back home."

An An and Yuan Lai hid behind the float and only emerged when the carriage had gone far away. "Luckily I was smart enough. That guy looked like he wanted to eat us!"

Zhao Zhao poked Yuan Lai's back with a lantern and asked, "Sisters, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Lai turned around and was almost blinded by Zhao Zhao's dazzle. The little beggar of the past was now dressed in gorgeous clothes, with pearls and jade all over his head. He was covered in jewels and gems, and he wished he could wear all the precious jewelry in the world.

An An held her head, "Isn't your head heavy?"

"It's not sinking." Zhao Zhao boasted proudly, "These pieces of jewelry were bought for me by Daddy. If you like any of them, feel free to take them!"

The two men walked forward with smiles on their faces, leaving Yuan Lai and Qi Rong behind.

Yuan Lai was about to leave when Qi Rong stopped him.

He took out a peculiarly shaped golden hairpin and handed it to Yuan Lai.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a cat.

No, aren't there more phoenix, peacock, or butterfly jewelry like this? Who would give a cat as a gift? How bizarre!

"You...this is?"

"Our fate started with a cat, so I specially asked someone to make this hairpin. I hope you like it."

Well, although the design is unprecedented, the aesthetics are good. The kitten is lifelike and quite cute. Most importantly, it is made of gold! It is worth a lot of money! If you fall into poverty in the future, this is a life-saving artifact!

"As long as I'm here, you won't be in trouble." Qi Rong vowed.

"Don't set a flag lightly, it could backfire easily." Yuan Lai realized it later, "Didn't you say you couldn't read minds? How come you know everything I'm thinking?!"

Qi Rong smiled and took the hairpin and put it in Yuan Lai's hair. "I told you that you can't pretend. Everything you think and feel is reflected on your face."

"What's wrong with that? Isn't it better to be like you, hiding your emotions?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. In peacetime, this is a sign of happiness."

Qi Rong grabbed Yuan Lai's hand, frightening her so much that she took a big step back, very alert. "What are you doing?"

Retracting his hand that had missed the target, Qi Rong smiled and helped Yuan Lai put the nameplate on her waist back in place. "You said you liked me, but you don't act like it like that."

Yuan Lai blushed, "I'm going to look for An An and Zhao Zhao. They're both children. Don't let them get kidnapped by bad guys."

It is not known whether the two children encountered any bad guys, but they were already busy preparing for the Ghost Festival dinner in the evening.

When the little boy closed his stall early and he and Gengyun rushed back home, An An had already started cooking.

"It seems that my great chef is useless today!"

"Come on, little boy, let's go make river lanterns." Gengyun looked at the small river lanterns bought by An An in the yard and felt that what he made was more meaningful.

Blessings? The more the better, and there is no conflict. They went to the wall and carefully selected some bamboos suitable for bending operations and began to prepare the river lanterns.

An An picked up the knife and cut the pork into small pieces, then marinated it with various seasonings.

Zhao Zhao was responsible for clapping and cheering on the side, providing sufficient emotional value.

The brothers who had been setting up stalls outside came back one after another, sat together and chatted, and some went to help move the tables out.

When Yuan Lai and Qi Rong returned home, they saw the mansion bustling with activity, filled with music and singing.

Hongbao followed Zhuangzhuang and ran in the yard, with Zhaozhao following behind. The three figures ran from the front mansion to the back mansion, panting.

"Hongbao, please run slower. Everyone, please be quicker! We'll have dinner soon. After dinner, we'll go to the river to release lanterns together." As an expert at steaming rice, Haohao lifted the lid of the pot and smelled the aroma of the rice, feeling very proud.

An An is the head chef, Xiao Tong and Yuan Er is the assistant chef. The three of them showed their skills in the kitchen. The originally crowded kitchen became much cleaner after tidying it up.

Everyone sat together. Zhuangzhuang took out a piece of paper and with a few strokes, everyone's image came to life on the paper. "I want to show the guardian that the kings are very happy outside!"

Zhaozhao had difficulty picking up food because she had too many jewelries on her arms, so Dundun picked up some food for her and put it in her bowl.

"Thank you, brother."

"Great King, do you have any gifts for us?" Haohao walked behind Yiheng with a bowl and asked with ill intention.
