Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Chapter 475 Cannon Fodder Concubines in the Deep Palace 38

Before they knew it, it was New Year's Eve. Although this house was only a temporary place for them, Xiao Qing and Qing Yi still enthusiastically decorated the entire courtyard, creating a festive atmosphere.

Yu Nuan was also dressed in green, wearing a bright red dress, looking very festive. Qingyi was very happy to see the change in Yu Nuan. In fact, Yu Nuan did not want to continue living the life at Yunqi Temple, but she was just used to that kind of life.

"Miss, let's go shopping together!"

Xiao Qing came in from outside in a lively manner and invited Yu Nuan to go for a stroll in the street. It seemed that she had heard the lively sounds in the street and wanted to go out and see.

Yu Nuan was wealthy, and she treated Xiao Qing and Qing Yi like family, so she never skimped on their material possessions. In welcoming the new year, she not only bought clothes for Yu Nuan, but also made several outfits for Xiao Qing and Qing Yi at Yu Nuan's request. Xiao Qing was wearing jewelry that Yu Nuan had bought for them, and from a distance, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.

"can."

Yu Nuan thought about it for a moment, and since she didn't have anything else to do, she accepted Xiao Qing's invitation. Yu Nuan herself also wanted to go out and experience the New Year's atmosphere.

"Oh, right, go and call Qingyi to come along."

"Okay, I'll go call Sister Qingyi right away." Xiaoqing jumped up with joy when she heard that Yu Nuan had agreed to go shopping. Her tone was excited as she eagerly went to call Qingyi, who was checking the accounts in the room.

They had been living here for half a year. Qingyi contacted the manager of the capital and sent over the year's income ledger. With the end of the year approaching, there were many ledgers to check, so Qingyi was the busiest of the three.

"Sister Qingyi, let's go shopping."

"I'm not going. I still have a stack of account books to finish reading." Hearing Xiao Qing's voice, Qingyi didn't even look up and directly refused Xiao Qing's invitation.

Following Qingyi's gaze, Xiaoqing saw a thick stack of account books and instantly felt a headache coming on. Xiaoqing disliked books the most. Qingyi had tried to teach Xiaoqing how to check accounts before, but every time Qingyi tried to teach her, Xiaoqing would either have a headache or a backache. In short, she just didn't want to learn.

Seeing this, Qingyi stopped pressuring Xiaoqing to learn how to read account books.

Xiao Qing knew that Qing Yi had been busy lately, but since her mistress had finally agreed to go out and have fun, Xiao Qing didn't want to miss this opportunity. So, with a snap, she closed the account book that Qing Yi was looking at and said, "Sister Qing Yi, you can do the accounting tomorrow too. Your mistress finally agreed to go out for a stroll, so you can't spoil the fun."

As she spoke, Xiao Qing pulled Qing Yi up and walked towards the door. Xiao Qing was afraid that Qing Yi would refuse, so she used all her strength. And sure enough, in her excitement, Qing Yi couldn't hold her back.

After stepping outside, Qingyi shivered as a gust of cold wind blew past her. Only then did she realize that when Xiaoqing dragged her out, she was only wearing a thin coat that she usually wore at home.

Yunxian County just had a snowfall of about a foot thick. Today the sun is out, and the snow is melting, so the weather is very cold.

"Xiaoqing."

"I won't listen, I won't listen, you have to go shopping with us today."

When Xiao Qing heard Qing Yi calling her, she assumed that Qing Yi still insisted on looking at the account book, so she shamelessly stopped Qing Yi from speaking.

Looking at Xiao Qing's childlike temperament, Qingyi smiled helplessly. Over the years, the two of them had been by the young lady's side, and the young lady treated them like family. So, gradually, Xiao Qing also let go of her true nature and became more and more like a child.

"No, Xiao Qing, let me put on some clothes first. I'm going to freeze to death if I go out like this!"

Xiao Qing stopped and turned around to see Qingyi wearing only thin clothes. She immediately let go of Qingyi's hand and said apologetically, "Sister Qingyi, it's all my fault for not noticing that you're not wearing enough. You should go back to your room and change your clothes. A few days ago, when we were making clothes for Miss, she had the embroiderer make several outfits for us as well. You can change into that red outer garment so that we can all wear the same color."

"Alright, as you wish."

After the snow this year, Yu Nuan had the underfloor heating turned on. Yu Nuan is not short of money, and the heating made the house warm, which is why Qingyi changed into thin clothes inside.

After Qingyi went back to her room to change her clothes, Yu Nuan and Xiao Qing were already waiting for her. Perhaps Qingyi had just reminded Xiao Qing that the weather was cold, so while Qingyi was changing, Xiao Qing went back to her room to fetch a new cloak for Yu Nuan, which was prepared by Jiang's mother for Yu Nuan.

Knowing that Yu Nuan was traveling, Jiang's mother still prepared many winter clothes for her. When Yu Nuan instructed Qingyi to deliver New Year's gifts to Jiang's parents, Jiang's mother learned where Yu Nuan was. However, Yun County was far from the capital, and Jiang's mother missed her daughter but could not come. So she sent the things she had prepared for Yu Nuan to Yun County, and this cloak was one of them.

The cloak was made of the finest fox fur, making it exceptionally beautiful and warm. Even in the capital, such a cloak was hard to find, but Jiang's mother, loving her daughter dearly, didn't care about the cost.

After the three of them had finished getting ready, it was already quite late. Fortunately, the rented house was located in the center of the county town, so they didn't need a carriage to get to the bustling streets.

The bustling market was on another street, so it wouldn't disturb Yu Nuan's peace and quiet.

Upon arriving at the market, it was exceptionally lively, filled with the shouts of vendors. The pedestrians in the crowd had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that everyone, young and old, was looking forward to the arrival of New Year's Eve.

Yu Nuan was infected by this atmosphere, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Yu Nuan saw a group of young girls and young wives surrounding a vendor and wanted to go and take a look. When Yu Nuan got closer, she realized that it was a jewelry shop. The owner saw Yu Nuan and her two companions and said warmly, "Ladies, would you like to buy some jewelry? All the jewelry here is unique. Even Yuezhen Pavilion doesn't have it."

Yu Nuan knew that Yuezhen Pavilion was the largest jewelry chain store. Yu Nuan had just bought some jewelry there last month, but of course, it wasn't for her. Instead, she gave it all to Qingyi and Xiao Qing. Yu Nuan didn't want to dress plainly herself, so she had the two of them come with her. On the contrary, Yu Nuan liked to dress the two of them up beautifully.

"Really? Then we'll have to take a good look."

Yu Nuan carefully examined the jewelry on display. It had an exotic feel and shouldn't be from the Li Dynasty. So Yu Nuan asked, "Boss, these aren't from our dynasty, are they?"

“Miss has a good eye. These are some jewelry I brought back from beyond the borders. They are unique to that region. Look at the hairpins and earrings, they are very beautiful. Miss, you can buy some to take back.”

Xiao Qing also picked up the bracelet to examine it. The colors were vibrant, and she wondered what it was made of. It was indeed beautiful. "Miss, these look different from what we usually see."

"Okay, Qingyi, you and Xiaoqing pick out two items you like, I'll pay for them," Yu Nuan said generously.

"Thank you, miss."

"Thank you, miss."

The two women didn't stand on ceremony with Yu Nuan and immediately looked for what they liked. Seeing that Yu Nuan and the other two were big customers, the shopkeeper began to bring out his rarest and most valuable jewelry for them to choose from.
