Chapter 469 Tang Travel (11)
"Miss Wangyou, what brings you here today?" The shopkeeper quickly greeted Wangyou upon seeing her.
"Let's pick out some things we'll need for the wedding." Wangyou looked around. "A lot of people have been looking for me lately, haven't they?"
“Miss Wangyou guessed right. There are two groups of people looking for you, but I have told them what you said before.”
"That's good. These pieces of jewelry aren't very nice. Do you have any high-quality jade?"
“You’ve come at just the right time. I just got a piece of red jade yesterday, and it’s practically flawless.”
"Take me to see it."
"Come with me."
After looking at the red jade, Wangyou smiled and said, "I'll take this piece of red jade. Also, I'll provide a design and have a set of jewelry made for me."
The shopkeeper quickly brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Wangyou lowered her head to draw a complete set of jewelry.
"Miss's designs are getting better and better."
"The sooner the better. You won't be shortchanged on the money, and the technique can't be lacking either. Also, this set of headdresses cannot be sold to outsiders." Wangyou said with a smile, and then painted another set.
"Don't worry, Miss Wangyou." The shopkeeper put away the two sets of blueprints with satisfaction.
"Alright, you go ahead with your work, I'll just wander around by myself."
"it is good."
Wangyou started browsing in the Treasure Pavilion; girls absolutely couldn't miss out on jewelry and the like.
When Wangyou reached the third floor, she immediately spotted a phoenix crown made of pure gold with exquisite craftsmanship. She fell in love with it at first sight.
"Xiao Liu, wrap up this phoenix crown for me."
"okay."
"Wait a minute, I want this phoenix crown."
"If you say you want it, then you have it. Shopkeeper, check please." Wangyou said without turning her head.
"Shopkeeper, I'd like to pay my bill too!"
"A sincere offer of five thousand strings of cash!"
"Five, five thousand strings of cash, that's so expensive!" The arrogant voice suddenly stopped.
"Don't come out and embarrass yourself if you don't have money." Wangyou signed the order directly and told the shopkeeper to deduct it from the next quarter's share. After all, she couldn't carry five thousand taels of silver all the time.
"Let me look at other things. Please pack them up for me first, and I'll take them with me when I leave."
"Okay, don't worry."
Wangyou picked out some basic hairpins and jewelry, and also picked out a few hairpins for herself.
Having made her selections, Wangyou left with her things, then handed them over to her subordinates to return, while she continued browsing.
Wangyou went to a fabric shop again and carefully selected some fabrics, choosing the best and most expensive ones. Although these couldn't compare to the ones she had collected in her space, they were still quite good.
Afterwards, Wangyou went to a carpentry shop and ordered a sedan chair and a canopy bed.
Then, Wangyou couldn't think of anything else and decided to go back and discuss it with the village women.
I happened to pass by a jade shop where many people were gambling on stones.
Wangyou was quite interested in gambling on stones, so she turned and went inside. The few people who were following Wangyou sent someone back to report.
Wangyou naturally noticed, but that didn't dampen her good mood while picking out stones.
Qin Qiong and Li Shimin met at the entrance and decided to come in together.
"It's green! It's green!"
"This, this is imperial green!"
"Open the next one." Wangyou took the fist-sized imperial green jade and handed over a rough stone.
"Young lady, would you be willing to sell this jade?"
"I'm keeping it for later use."
"It's green! It's a tricolor jade stone with the auspicious symbols of fortune, prosperity, and longevity!"
"What incredible luck! She opened several accounts, and not a single one was booked, and all of them saw huge gains!"
"Young lady, shouldn't this be sold?"
"We won't sell any of the jade stones that were unearthed today; just take a look."
Some in the crowd felt regret, while others considered robbery.
Finally, Wangyou came out with a large bag of jade.
After coming out, Wangyou felt that several groups of people were following her. Her eyes flashed, and then she went to the small shop next door to buy some carving tools. Then she pretended not to know anything and walked out of the city.
Upon reaching a secluded spot outside the city, Wangyou put down what she was carrying. "Having followed me for so long, aren't you tired?"
"If you know what's good for you, leave your things behind, and we brothers will spare your life!"
"Brother, with looks like that, he could fetch a fortune even in a brothel!"
"Where did this bastard come from, daring to make a move on my niece?" Qin Qiong broke free from Li Shimin's grasp and rushed out decisively.
Qin Qiong's skills were more than enough to deal with a few petty thieves; they were quickly defeated.
"Send it to the Dali Temple and let them investigate it thoroughly."
"Why is General Qin following me?"
"I found it."
"I know, but what does it have to do with me?"
"I'm sorry, I just found out too."
"It has nothing to do with you. We're just distant relatives. Why are you hiding from the other one?"
Li Shimin walked out from behind with a slightly embarrassed expression, and in a short while, the ground was filled with people.
"Isn't this the most esteemed Emperor? What brings you here?" Wangyou said sarcastically as she looked at Li Shimin who had just emerged.
"You are my daughter."
"Don't try to claim kinship with me. You're so ugly, you're dreaming if you could have a beautiful daughter like me!"
"According to the information we have found, you are indeed His Majesty's biological daughter," Qin Qiong added, trying to clarify.
“If I don’t acknowledge it, then he isn’t him.”
"presumptuous!"
"I'm still putting off five!"
"You, you have absolutely no respect for your elders!"
"I'm sorry, I was born of a mother, but I didn't have a father to raise me!"
These words left Li Shimin speechless.
Wangyou picked up her things and turned to leave.
"Where are you going? I know you've suffered a lot of injustice. I promise I will never pursue what you did before," Li Shimin said in a softened tone.
"I'm going home. Do you think it's such a great favor that you're not pursuing this? Why don't you go and investigate your good empress!" Wangyou said in a bad tone.
"The Empress is not well and doesn't have much time left."
"How hypocritical!"
This time, Wangyou didn't turn around, and no matter what the people behind her said, she didn't reply.
The two followed Wangyou all the way to Qingtian Village, and then Shuilingling was locked out by Wangyou.
"Who are you people, and what business do you have with my young lady?" Caohua asked boldly as she blocked the doorway of Wanhaoya's house, seeing that there were quite a few people standing there. The other girls didn't speak, but they stood silently next to Caohua, watching these people warily.
One of the clever ones went directly to call the village chief, and before long, all the people of Qingtian Village arrived at Wangyou's house with sickles and hoes.
"Who are you? What business do you have with Miss Wangyou?" the village chief asked warily upon seeing the group.
"Miss, a lot of people have come outside. The village chief and the others are here." Qingman heard the commotion outside and got up to go out and check.
"It's Li Shimin and Qin Qiong. I haven't figured out how to deal with them yet." Wangyou was prepared to go back and stir up trouble, but how to get back was the question.
