After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

Tang Wenshu, who had already turned and was about to leave, paused at the sound of that familiar voice. "Sister Qiuhua!" She exclaimed in surprise, a bright smile spreading across her face. She quickly stepped forward, instinctively extending her arms, wanting to link arms with Dai Qiuhua's as intimately as they had in the Imperial City and go shopping together.

However, just as she was about to touch Dai Qiuhua's arm, Tang Wenshu suddenly stopped, as if realizing something. A thought flashed through her mind: I was now presenting myself as the prefect's nephew, even dressed as a little boy. Men and women should maintain distance, and avoid physical contact. If I rashly became too intimate with Sister Qiuhua, I feared it would damage her reputation.

Thinking of this, Tang Wenshu couldn't help but bite her lip in annoyance, but she quickly regained her composure. She gave Dai Qiuhua a slightly apologetic smile, took a step back, bowed respectfully, and said, "Sister Qiuhua, how are you?"

At the same time, the young lady who had previously helped Tang Wenshu out of trouble also walked over gracefully, bowed to Dai Qiuhua, and softly said, "May the Deputy Envoy of Appeasement be well and safe." The young lady secretly felt fortunate. Seeing that Tang Wenshu and the Deputy Envoy of Appeasement were so familiar with each other, she couldn't help but once again lament her good fortune today. Fortunately, she hadn't made a hasty judgment based solely on appearance like Miss Liu had just done, otherwise she would have offended others.

Dai Qiuhua simply nodded and said "OK," then ignored the young lady. Instead, she reached out and gently tugged at Tang Wenshu's sleeve, turning and walking towards the lounge area of ​​the Zhenyi Pavilion. After the two of them sat down in a quiet and comfortable corner, Dai Qiuhua looked at Tang Wenshu with concern and asked softly, "Shushu, what's wrong with you? How did you get yourself into this state? If the princess knew, she would be heartbroken."

Tang Wenshu smiled faintly, gathered his thoughts, and began to recount to Dai Qiuhua the events of the recent period. "Sister Qiuhua, to be honest, we just arrived in Yangzhou from escorting grain and fodder from out of town. We've been so exhausted from the long journey, we haven't even had time to change clothes..." Tang Wenshu then recounted his current position as the magistrate of Liu County, his responsibility for tax collection, and other related matters.

As for the matter of Mu Huaisheng, Tang Wenshu chose to keep it secret and did not reveal the inside story to anyone. Just as the two were chatting animatedly, a loud noise suddenly came from the door again.

"Why won't you let me in? That gentleman didn't even try to stop me!" A sharp, piercing cry came from Miss Liu. Her usual dignified and refined demeanor had long since vanished. Her face was distorted, her emotions utterly agitated, and she even screamed hysterically, "You, the Zhenyi Pavilion, are truly going too far!"

Unexpectedly, Dai Qiuhua didn't hesitate and directly called the shopkeeper over to inquire about the situation. The shopkeeper was wearing the latest exquisite clothing style launched by Zhenyi Pavilion. The dress perfectly outlined her graceful figure, making her look even more charming and beautiful.

She quickly walked up to Dai Qiuhua, bowed slightly, and said, "Second Master, since this young lady has offended your friend, we must naturally stop her. From now on, she will be on our blacklist and will never be allowed to set foot in our Zhenyi Pavilion again. I wonder if you are satisfied with this handling of the matter?"

Although the shopkeeper's words were full of flattery, her expression and movements seemed very natural and appropriate, as if she was just an ordinary subordinate obeying the orders of her superior.

"She, she..." Hearing this address, Tang Wenshu's mind raced, and she instantly guessed that Zhenyi Pavilion must be the property owned by the Deputy Princess Fuhui. In that case, she had to ask Sister Qiuhua to give her a good deal! So, she couldn't wait to ask, "Is this actually the shop owned by the Princess Sister?"

Dai Qiuhua smiled and nodded slightly to express her affirmation: "Yes, this is the property purchased by the princess in her early years. Later, after she came to Yangzhou, she opened it here." While speaking, Dai Qiuhua deliberately omitted the word "marry", and the intelligent Tang Wenshu naturally understood it - after all, the princess is still alone now, but it is said that her brother-in-law has always been by her side.

At this moment, Tang Wenshu could no longer contain her excitement and joy. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, filled with excitement, and her gaze was fixed on the beautiful dresses hanging on the wall. She shouted loudly, "Give me the lowest discount! This one, this one, and that one, I want them all!"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Wenshu had already thrown herself into the joy of choosing dresses like a happy little bird. She was so excited that she completely forgot herself and didn't even have the mind to continue chatting with Dai Qiuhua. Her eyes were only on those exquisite clothes.

However, Dai Qiuhua, who was standing by, raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw this. She looked at Tang Wenshu's little boy's outfit with a half-smile and said softly, "Are you sure you can wear these clothes?"

Tang Wenshu was startled by Dai Qiuhua's question, then turned away, pouting, "Oh, I'm buying this for my sister, huh!" Even then, she suddenly realized she was still wearing men's clothing, and felt a little annoyed. But she quickly calmed down and picked out several more shirts and pants suitable for boys.

Of course, the yamen runners who followed closely beside her couldn't be forgotten either. Tang Wenshu turned her head slightly and whispered to Sister Qiuhua beside her, "Sister Qiuhua, please arrange for my men to go with me to pick out some suitable clothes." Then, turning her gaze to the yamen runners behind her, she smiled and said, "Don't be idle either. Each of you go pick out a few sets. With Sister Qiuhua watching over us, there won't be any problems with safety."

After receiving the order, several yamen runners happily followed the servant away, while the remaining big man named Kuang Tie followed Tang Wenshu closely all the time, like an indestructible iron tower.

Tang Wenshu glanced at Kuang Tie's incredibly strong body and thought to herself: With his burly physique, it would be difficult to find suitable ready-made clothes on the market! Thinking of this, she turned to look at Sister Qiuhua again and asked, "Sister Qiuhua, do you offer custom-made clothing services here?"

At this moment, the shopkeeper, who had been standing silently nearby, suddenly perked up after hearing this. He hurried forward and said, "Of course, young lady, don't worry. My eyes are my ruler. Just take your measurements and I guarantee that within two days I can make you an exquisite and well-fitting dress and personally deliver it to your house."

After solving Kuang Tie's clothing problem, Tang Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly asked the shopkeeper about Miss Liu's situation: "By the way, how is Miss Liu now? There shouldn't be anyone making a fuss at the door anymore, right? After all, this is the princess's property, so it's only natural for me to pay more attention to it."

The shopkeeper chuckled and replied, "She's completely disgraced herself this time! I heard she's been blacklisted because of this, so she left in disgrace a long time ago."
