Chapter 165: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 45
"Oh, auntie, this headdress is so beautiful!" Jiang Yueshu exclaimed in amazement, and it was obvious that she particularly liked this headdress.
Yunxi: "......"
"Yeah, it does look good."
After she finished speaking, she leaned over to Jiang Yueshu's ear and said, "Shushu, this headdress doesn't look cheap. I'm afraid your aunt doesn't have enough money."
She had a sad face, as if she was regretful and sorry.
"Ah? Is that so?" Jiang Yueshu frowned in disappointment.
"Why don't you ask how much silver it is, then write an IOU, and your aunt will pay you back when the time comes. This headdress is so beautiful!" Jiang Yueshu thought for a while and began to make plans.
Yunxi: "......"
She smiled awkwardly, "Shushu, let's ask first! Auntie heard that some young ladies from wealthy families would book this kind of headwear in advance. I wonder if this thing has been booked?"
She raised her voice at the end to make sure the two servants in the front hall could hear her.
When the servants heard the two people's calls, they were guessing wildly in their minds. Now, after hearing the suggestive words of the master, although they were confused, they still obediently took over the conversation.
"Oh, look at my brain. This lady's words reminded me that this headdress has been ordered out. I heard it belongs to the Marquis's Mansion. It's all my fault for my brain. I have affected the young lady. I really deserve to be beaten! I deserve to be beaten!"
The servant slapped himself a few times as he finished speaking.
Yunxi was satisfied and liked the servant more and more, so she stopped him immediately.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Fortunately, it didn't cause any misunderstanding, otherwise you wouldn't be able to bear it."
The servant immediately thanked him with a smile.
The two of them worked together in perfect harmony. When Jiang Yueshu heard that it was someone from the Marquis' Mansion who ordered it, she instantly lost interest.
This young servant was quite clever. Perhaps Yun Xi had intentionally or unintentionally boasted in front of everyone that his daughter would soon marry into the Marquis's Mansion. So, he remembered what he heard after hearing a few words.
"Okay, then I'll take a look at the others." Jiang Yueshu said unhappily.
Yunxi then followed her in a very good mood and started watching with her.
After what happened just now, the servant in the shop realized that the master did not want to sell her the valuables, so he intentionally or unintentionally took her to see several pieces of jewelry.
"Okay, just wait here, we'll ask you when we need anything."
Jiang Yueshu had no patience for the man who kept following her around and recommending some jewelry that looked good but was useless, so she quickly waved him away.
The servant then stopped and waited behind.
Jiang Yueshu took this opportunity to make a careful selection. She didn't care about the price or quantity. As long as Yun Xi didn't say anything, she would just keep walking around and choosing.
When Jiang Yueshu had ordered about ten pieces of jewelry, Yun Xi saw that she had no intention of stopping and quickly pulled her back.
"Okay, Shushu, that's all I need. I don't have much on hand. If you like, you can come back later."
Jiang Yueshu looked at Yunxi's gentle face but anxious eyes, and spoke with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt. She's so nice to me. Shushu will ask her to go shopping with him next time."
Yunxi: "......"
What the hell! !
This prodigal, did he really think his money was hers?!
She decided that during this period of time, everyone in the mansion must avoid her to reduce the number of times they met. After Jiang Yueshu left today, she would also inform the shop assistants not to notify her if they met this lady.
While thinking this in his mind, Yun Xi smiled and ignored Jiang Yueshu's question, thinking that he had already responded to her.
Although she was dealing with Jiang Yueshu, she kept urging the servant to be quick with her eyes. After all, the longer she and Jiang Yueshu stayed in the store, the more likely it would be that they would run into the customers she brought in. Wouldn't that make it easier for her to expose her identity?
After the servant had packed up the things, Yun Xi swiftly handed over the silver to pay the bill. After finishing everything quickly, she pulled Jiang Yueshu and hurried out.
However, the situation that Yunxi least wanted to encounter also happened.
Just at the gate, they bumped into a lady and a young lady coming towards them.
As soon as the lady saw Yunxi, her eyes lit up and she quickly pulled her daughter to bow to Yunxi.
"This must be the Prime Minister's wife, right? I am Lu, the wife of the Imperial Academy's accountant. I am here to greet you, Prime Minister's wife."
Yunxi: "......"
She had no choice but to stop and speak to the woman.
"Get up."
Yun Xi was just about to say that he had something to do and had to leave first, but the woman's words stopped him at the door.
