There is a happy inn in the capital.

A carriage was parked at the entrance of the small garden. After getting into the carriage, Princess Changning said…

"I have never seen a mirror that reflects a person so clearly."

Li Shuchen raised an eyebrow; it really was her vintage rose gold miniature mirror.

Gu Ziying asked, "Where did you meet Princess Changning?"

Princess Changning answered earnestly and with good temper: "I met a girl two streets in front of the small garden. She was holding a small mirror, which she said was a vintage rose mirror."

I borrowed it and looked at myself closely. I was so fair and beautiful in the mirror, even prettier than I had imagined. Unlike the bronze mirrors we used, which made people look sallow.

Moreover, the mirror is surrounded by rose shapes, the color of which is like gold, but a bit darker than gold, making it very exquisite.

Gu Ziying's eyes widened: "Such a thing exists? I've never heard of it before!"

Li Shuchen started acting, widening her eyes and opening her mouth wide.

Li Shuchen: "I've never heard of this thing before, it's so powerful."

After all, she is Li Shuchen now, not a 'rich young master', and she knows nothing.

Princess Changning added, "That young lady said she bought it at Liuli Pavilion, so I rushed back to find you. Luckily, my people knew to prepare a carriage for me in advance."

Princess Changning looked smug.

Li Shuchen patted Princess Changning on the shoulder and said, "Good friend, you're loyal."

Princess Changning raised her head and replied, "That's right."

During the conversation, they arrived at Liuli Pavilion.

Princess Changning went down first, followed closely by Li Shuchen and Gu Ziying.

As soon as Princess Changning entered, she said, "Shopkeeper, bring out the vintage rose mirror."

Seeing that the three were dressed in traditional attire, Manager Xu immediately invited them to the second floor.

Manager Xu: "Ladies, please wait a moment."

A moment later, Manager Xu came out carrying a brocade box: "Ladies, please take a look."

Changning took out the mirror, glanced at it, and saw that it was exactly the same as the one she had seen in that young lady's mirror.

He then handed it to Li Shuchen, who pretended to look at it from all angles.

Handed it to Gu Ziying

Gu Ziying was shocked when she saw the mirror; such a thing really existed in the world, exactly as Princess Changning had described.

Gu Ziying carefully examined the mirror and put it back in the box.

Princess Changning asked, "Shopkeeper, how much silver does this mirror cost?"

Manager Xu said calmly, "Three hundred taels of silver per piece."

Li Shuchen inwardly exclaimed, "Wow, just by putting it in a brocade box, they've made an extra hundred taels of silver!"

Princess Changning didn't think it was expensive; it was much cheaper than she had expected.

He then said, "I want three interviews."

As expected of a princess, she casually spent nine hundred taels of silver.

After a moment's thought, Gu Ziying softly said, "I also want three rounds."

Li Shuchen knew they were wealthy, but she hadn't expected them to be this rich.

She has some money now, but she can't spend it, which is frustrating.

Shopkeeper Xu took out six brocade boxes: "Ladies, the vintage rose mirrors are all ready."

After they paid, Princess Changning invited Manager Xu aside and they talked about something.

When Changning returned, Li Shuchen pulled the two of them aside, and the three of them formed a circle.

Li Shuchen: "Does anyone have any money left? Lend me some; I want to buy more mirrors."

Gu Ziying took out her purse and handed it directly to Li Shuchen, saying as she did so, "I still have four hundred taels on me, here you go."

Princess Changning took out two 1,000-tael silver notes: "I have 2,000 taels on me, here you go."

Li Shuchen took the money: "Thank you."

Li Shuchen took the money and walked towards Manager Xu, saying...

I want an eight-sided vintage rose mirror.

Shopkeeper Xu thought to himself, "These are selling really well!" and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, young lady."

Li Shuchen paid and took the goods.

Shopkeeper Xu was ecstatic all morning. He'd easily sold twenty mirrors—they were selling like hotcakes! He just wondered when the wealthy young master would come to restock.

He's going to raise the price for the remaining ten mirrors.

After the three finished shopping, they headed back home, boarded the carriage, and settled in.

Li Shuchen looked at Princess Changning, his attitude upright and his tone earnest, and said, "I have something to ask of Princess Changning."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changning paused and said, "Speak properly. You're not usually so polite to me. Just say what you want to say."

Li Shuchen could tell from the fact that she bought three mirrors that she didn't intend to sell them at the Precious Pavilion, so he spoke up.

"I'll keep one of these eight mirrors for my mother. I'd like to sell the remaining seven at your Precious Pavilion. You set the price, and we'll split the profits 30/70. Is that alright?"

Princess Changning: "Sure, I thought it was a big deal, but you have to treat me to another meal."

Li Shuchen: "No problem, no problem."

Gu Ziying pulled Li Shuchen aside and asked, "Shuchen, aren't you going to save one for yourself?"

Li Shuchen grinned and squeezed Gu Ziying's hand in return, saying, "I don't like looking in the mirror. Besides, I can buy one when I have the money."

Gu Ziying was about to say something more when Princess Changning suddenly spoke up.

Princess Changning said proudly, "I think Li Shuchen is right."

I asked around, and the mirror was made by a 'wealthy young master,' who appears and disappears mysteriously. Since he could appear in Yangzhou's largest jewelry store...

My precious pavilion, being the most grand, luxurious, and stylish jewelry store in the capital, has no reason not to come.

When he arrives, I'll save you a seat.

Li Shuchen thought Princess Changning's analysis made a lot of sense, and that she could visit the Precious Pavilion if needed in the future.

Li Shuchen: "Then I, Li Shuchen, thank Princess Changning for owning the most magnificent, luxurious, and stylish jewelry store in Weijing City."

Princess Changning was particularly pleased and lowered her head, softly humming in agreement.

Perhaps because he went to bed too early, Li Shuchen woke up in the middle of the night. He checked the time and it was midnight (11-1 am). He was starving and spent 1,000 taels of silver to upgrade his in-game store.

I thought about eating instant noodles, opened the online store, and placed my hand on a packet of braised beef noodles, unsure whether to buy one or two.

One pack isn't enough, two packs are too much to finish.

After hesitating for a while, I'll just buy two packs. I'd rather be stuffed than go hungry.

Grabbing the instant noodles, I quietly went to the kitchen, started a pot of water to boil, added the noodles, then the seasonings, covered the pot, and cooked for three to five minutes.

While the noodles were cooking, Li Shuchen threw all the packaging bags into the fire to burn them. By the time they were all burned, the noodles were almost ready.

Li Shuchen lifted the pot lid and exclaimed, "Wow, it smells amazing! This is exactly the smell!" She then tossed in a few small green vegetables and cooked them.

Carefully scoop it out and place it in the bowl; the bowl is too small to hold so much.

This dish was difficult to carry, so Li Shuchen decided to eat it in the kitchen.

I sat down, slurped up a mouthful of noodles, and oh my god, it smelled so good!

I took a second bite, and just as the noodles entered my mouth, the kitchen door opened.

"Li Shuchen, you're cheating on me with food!"

Princess Changning walked briskly to Li Shuchen, her face flushed with anger.

Li Shuchen sighed and looked up at her, "If you don't mind, bring me a bowl."

Princess Changning was very obedient and went to get the bowl herself.

"Shu Chen, it smells so good! What are you eating?" Gu Ziying walked over gracefully.

Li Shuchen: "Get a bowl, I'll serve you some."

After she had divided everything, there wasn't much left in her bowl.

Li Shuchen quickly slurped up another bite, "So delicious!"

Princess Changning took a bite and was clearly amazed by the noodles: "What kind of noodles are these? I've never eaten them before!"
