Chapter 187 Our Master Has Always Been Frugal
Although Xiaolan felt a little scared, she forced herself to remain calm, walked gracefully to the stall, and softly inquired:
"Gentlemen, what are you all busy with...?"
The constable remained silent, but the short-bearded man next to him spoke with a forced smile.
"This is..." He casually lifted the lid of the wooden box, but when he saw that it was full of dazzling jewels, his eyes widened. He coughed lightly and said, "These are items for your master to sell."
"Yes, our mistress is always frugal and dislikes extravagance. That's why she sent me here to sell some jewelry so that we can buy some winter clothes for the sisters." Xiao Lan smiled radiantly, her expression full of innocence.
"Your master is indeed considerate of his servants."
A sudden surge of envy welled up in Shen Zhishi's heart. His superior had never shown him such consideration. He simply served his superior step by step every day. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and found a new master midway through, which allowed him to earn a little money.
But then he had a sudden thought and wondered to himself, "Which family is so poor that even the servants' clothes need to be prepared by their master? It can't be a family that is really poor."
“You’ve done your best to serve your master, but…” he suddenly chuckled, “we have to check things here.”
Xiao Lan was startled, only then remembering the examination fee.
In fact, she and her sister knew beforehand that they would have to pay inspection fees to set up a stall on the street. After all, the two sisters had set up stalls on the street to make a living, but they were unable to afford the inspection fees and had no choice but to give up.
But this time it's for selling jewelry for a young lady, so she can't decide how to handle the money on her own.
"Sir, could you do me this favor and allow me to report back to the young lady, and then inform you of the result tomorrow?"
"Why go through all this trouble?" Governor Shen reached into the box and grabbed the jewelry. The warm and beautiful jewels flowed through his fingers, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"You can use these to pay for the examination fee. I think your daughter will understand."
Xiaolan immediately snatched the jewelry back from Governor Shen's hand, then locked the box containing the jewelry and hugged it tightly to her chest.
"This...I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
Governor Shen glanced at her and raised his hand to stroke his chin.
“What’s wrong with it? I’m doing this for your own good! If you don’t accept the inspection, and it causes trouble for ordinary people, then it won’t be something that can be resolved with just a few pieces of jewelry.”
Then he glanced at Duan Li beside him and ordered, "Go, bring me the box."
However, the separation seemed to go unnoticed, and nothing happened.
Governor Shen's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he glared at the boy. He already knew that the boy was disobeying orders, but he never expected that even though it was he who had reported him, the boy would still act this way.
Fine, let him go by himself then. In any case, this little girl looks only twelve or thirteen years old, so she probably can't beat him.
But before he could take a few steps closer, he heard the sound of broken bows behind him.
"Prince, Aran."
Upon hearing this, Governor Shen turned around, and after truly seeing Nangong Ming and Xiao Ran, he immediately bowed his head in respect.
"Young Master Nangong, Miss Xiao... what brings you here?"
Nangong Ming glanced at him and said irritably:
"What? Do you think the streets of this capital city belong to you? Can't I come here?"
Although Chief Secretary Shen did not know why the Crown Prince was so hostile towards him, he still respectfully said:
"Of course not! Your Highness may do as you please! I am willing to pave the way for Your Highness so that you may tour the capital in a pleasant manner!"
