In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

It was a simple and elegant shop with a small table in front of the shelf where tea was brewed. Only one waiter and one shopkeeper were sitting in the shop.

When the servant saw a distinguished guest coming, he hurried forward.

Respectfully ask:

"Please come in, sir~"

"The shop has everything from white jade to gold and silver earrings."

"May I ask what you would like to see?"

In response to the servant's question, Chi Yu, who was obviously more experienced, shouted:

"Bring out all your finest gold and jade jewelry."

"Okay!" the waiter responded and ran towards several counters.

All the fine jewelry was brought to the counter where the shopkeeper was standing.

The most important thing for them in this line of work is insight.

The clothes these people are wearing show that they are very rich.

Coupled with that confident look, how could he dare to neglect it.

The shopkeeper was even more so. He stood up straight, lifted the red cloth covering the jewelry, and introduced it carefully.

But Chi Yu was too lazy to listen.

He just picked up the jewelry that he liked and tried it on Shen Qian.

If I find something good, I will definitely put it on Shen Qian myself.

He even specially did Shen Qian's hair for this purpose.

With such intimate behavior, those who don’t know would think that the two are close friends.

But in fact, Shen Qian and Chi Yu only met twice.

The total number of days we met was not even four.

The shopkeeper is not afraid of bumps or breaks.

Glad to see such a noble person take action.

He would even praise Shen Qian every time after wearing it.

Shen Qian and Chi Yu were so happy with the praise.

One is happy that his vision is recognized.

One, is happy when someone is dressing up for you.

After being reborn as a mother twice, this was the first time Shen Qian felt dressed and cared for by someone, and she was extremely happy.

"Hey, Sister Shen is really naturally beautiful."

"She looks good no matter how she dresses. These jewels seem to be tailor-made for Sister Shen."

"Pack all these for my sister Shen." Chi Yu said to the owner of the jewelry pavilion after selecting for half an hour.

The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw this.

He really likes customers who don't even ask the price.

No effort was spared, even the boxes for the jewelry were made of fine wood.

On the side, Xiao Qi blinked his eyes constantly as he watched Chi Yu buy a lot of jewelry for his mother.

The envious fingers were placed in the mouth.

Seeing this, Chi Yu realized that he had overlooked something.

The shopkeeper picked out a piece of fine white jade with his hand, which he put directly on Xiaoqi's neck.

"And our most adorable Xiaoqi, of course, must also wear suitable jade jewelry." Chi Yu said, pinching Xiaoqi's face.

Xiao Qi immediately laughed happily.

The shopkeeper saw this and did not stop it.

After a quick calculation, he quoted the price:

"A total of six thousand eight hundred and fifty taels. I'll round off the difference for you, my dear gentleman. Six thousand eight hundred taels!"

Wang Wu stood at the door of the shop. He had been shocked by the beauty of his mother when she was dressed up.

At this moment, after hearing the price of the jewelry.

He even took a deep breath inwardly.

Six thousand eight hundred taels.

Just...just the price of some jewelry?

This is too exaggerated.

Marrying a wife...seems to only cost three or five taels?

These six thousand eight hundred taels of silver are enough for me to marry... I don't know how many wives.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Chi Yu was actually ignored by Wang Wu who was standing stupidly at the door.

After paying the money, Shen Qian's headdress was replaced with a new one.

The momentum of his walk also quietly rose to a higher level.

When passing by the door, Shen Qian naturally threw the package that Chi Yu was holding to Wang Wu.

Wang Wu realized it belatedly and took on the responsibility of carrying the bag.

Silently following behind Shen Qian and her group.

Inside the Juxian Building.

The county lieutenant waited left and right, but there was no sign of Princess Chi Yu.

This made him so anxious that he swayed back and forth at the door of Juxian Building.

Look around from time to time.

I just hope to see Princess Chi Yu.

The shopkeeper watched as an hour passed and came over to the county lieutenant and asked:

"Sir County Lieutenant, an hour has passed, and the distinguished guest you were waiting for hasn't arrived yet?"

"Should they start cooking in the kitchen, or... continue waiting?"

Facing the questions from the owner of Juxianlou.

The county lieutenant showed a trace of irritation on his face and shouted angrily:

"Why are you rushing me?"

"Since the distinguished guest is not here, will I eat the food you cook by myself?"

"If the noble man fails to entertain you well this time, your Juxian Building might have to fight with the ruffians."

The threat in these words was overwhelming.

The shopkeeper of Juxianlou listened and unconsciously wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

Whispered apology:

"Sir, I see you've been waiting for so long, so I'll make two dishes first, so you don't have to wait for me when you come."

"Well, I was too talkative."

As soon as he finished speaking, he went back to the counter.

He no longer looked at the county lieutenant.

Who would make themselves unhappy for no reason?

"Hey! Isn't this County Lieutenant Zhu?"

"Why don't you go in? Are you waiting at the door?" The county magistrate watched the county lieutenant Zhu Da swaying left and right from afar, quickened his pace, and asked closer.

Zhu Da watched the county magistrate walk towards him, and suddenly felt annoyed.

The person I was waiting for didn't arrive, but the person I didn't want to see arrived first.

Is there anything in the world more annoying than this?

"You go in first. I'll get some fresh air outside." Zhu Da snorted coldly at the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate saw this, he immediately understood: the princess had not arrived yet, and he was standing at the door anxiously!

Thinking of this, the county magistrate quickly interrupted:

"I can just get some fresh air outside. Why do I have to stay inside? It's so stuffy."

Having said this, the two of them were as silent as two husband-waiting stones, one looking towards the left side of the street, the other towards the right side, looking at each other eagerly.

Another quarter of an hour passed before Shen Qian, Chi Yu and their group of four finally appeared from the right side of the street.

From a distance, County Lieutenant Zhu Da couldn't even make out the person's face.

Just ran over first.

If nothing else, who else could be this woman dressed so luxuriously and elegantly on such a big street?

After walking in, Zhu Da thought to himself: Sure enough!

I was not mistaken.

After Zhu Da greeted respectfully, he called out to Shen Qian and her four companions as they headed into the Juxian Building.

He just caught a glimpse of the little girl holding Shen Qian's hand out of the corner of his eye.

I understood it instantly: No wonder the princess ordered to prepare some dishes that children like.

The county magistrate was furious when he saw that the county lieutenant had gotten there first, but he put on a smile and walked towards Chi Yu.

"My dear princess, we are so sorry for not welcoming you!"

As soon as he said this, it was as if he was the host of today's dinner.

This behavior made Zhu Da very unhappy.

But in general, a higher-ranking official still has more power over others.

It's not easy for him to tear his face directly.

What's more, since we are in front of an important person, we can only endure it.

After taking a seat.

Shen Qian and Chi Yu were chatting with each other.

The county lieutenant and the county magistrate had no chance to get a word in.

The two of them just sat there, staring at each other.

Not a moment.

There was a knock on the door.

Zhu Da subconsciously thought it was the waiter who was serving the food, and shouted:

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, the door opened.

A figure in a black and red robe came into view, and it was just a glance.

Both the county magistrate and the county lieutenant felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, and the same thought came to their minds at the same time: How could this person appear here?
