Chapter 22 Eat Another Meal With Me
Chapter 22 Have another meal with me
Aunt Bai gently pulled Zhang Anchu from behind. She couldn't bear to bargain like this.
"I want to be benevolent, but I also want the shopkeeper to give me an honest price." Zhang Anchu ignored Aunt Bai's obstruction and saw that no one was reading or buying the book. Maybe he could miss it.
"Hey...three hundred liters, it can't be lower." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, thinking that someone would take this book away, and it would be better than leaving it gathering dust in the shop.
"Okay." Zhang Anchu was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, so he decided to book this book.
Next, Zhang Anchu selected two more poetry collections before leaving the bookstore.
Aunt Bai left the bookstore. Although Zhang Anchu saved a lot of money by negotiating the price, she was still a little petty and worried that if she continued to be so fussy after entering the palace, she might suffer a loss.
It was difficult for her to talk to Zhang Anchu in the bookstore, but it was easier to talk when she went out.
"Chu Chu, you must not be like this in the future. You must be more generous in your conduct and work," said the provincial person." Aunt Bai was unavoidably worried, so she started to preach.
Zhang Anchu felt a little aggrieved. If she just said a few more words, she could save a lot of money. Isn't that good?
Aunt Bai looked at her above the veil with a pitiful look, and whispered beside her: "If you are still so stingy after entering the palace in the future, even the flowers, plants and trees in the palace will make things difficult for you."
Zhang Anchu understood that Aunt Bai was also thinking about her. It was different in the palace than in Youzhou.
"I know, I just want to save some money for my aunt." Zhang Anchu muttered. Although he knew that Aunt Bai was doing it for his own good, he still felt aggrieved.
"Okay, I know you are a good person. I just want to tell you that you should be more generous in your actions and behavior in the future. This will save you a lot of trouble." Aunt Bai looked at her appearance, softened her heart, and comforted her,
Don't forget to remind her that she can't do this in the future.
"Yeah." Zhang Anchu nodded, and the matter was over.
Afterwards, Aunt Bai took her to the jewelry shop. Siyu looked back and felt that something was not right, as if someone was watching her, and she felt like a hairy person all over her body.
Lian Xin, who was not far away, was wearing thick clothes. Even though he was good at hiding, he still felt uncomfortable. He thought to himself, it's really cold in Youzhou!
At this moment, I saw Siyu frowning and turning her head, looking around, and then entered the jewelry shop in confusion.
Lian Xin hurriedly hid, trying not to let this girl find her.
"I'm not that bad at hiding. It seems this girl found out." Lian Xin muttered.
After receiving the prince's order, he immediately went to the teahouse to inquire, but the shopkeeper said he didn't know and was not a regular customer, so he had to follow them all the way to see where they were going.
It’s just that I’ve been going all this way. It’s been so cold and it’s been so long. I haven’t finished shopping yet. I don’t know how long I will continue shopping.
Siyu entered the jewelry shop. Aunt Bai was choosing jewelry for Zhang Anchu. She walked to the nanny and whispered: "Nanny, I don't know why, but I always feel like someone is following me. It feels hairy on my back."
The wet nurse was wary. Zhang Anchu couldn't let anything happen outside. She immediately went outside to take a look. She looked around and found nothing unusual.
"Maybe you are too worried. It's normal outside. Don't worry. There are four boys following you today. They are all strong and can fight off the gangsters." After the wet nurse came back, she comforted her.
Siyu added, "My heart is with Third Miss. If anything happens, I will definitely protect Third Miss."
"Yeah, don't worry, nanny, even if something happens, I will definitely protect the third lady."
Siyu is very honest, and the third lady treats her well. She also wears more winter clothes than the maids in other courtyards wear, and they are all specially prepared by the third lady.
He also knew that if something happened to the third lady, the lives of these maids would not be any easier than death.
Siyu thought of this and said in her heart: Bah, bah, bah, nothing will happen to the third lady!
Zhang Anchu took a look at the jewelry placed on the plate by the shopkeeper, and immediately noticed a hairpin that looked like stars. The small pearls were connected together, just like the stars in the sky. They were messy and had a different kind of beauty.
She picked it up, looked at it, and asked, "What's the name of this hairpin?"
In the jewelry shop, every hairpin has an elegant name, and she knows it too.
"Miss, you have good eyesight. This hairpin is called Xingyao."
"But you like this hairpin?" Aunt Bai asked. If Zhang Anchu liked it, she would buy it.
"I've always wanted to give Teacher Shen a gift, and I asked her today. She said she wanted stars in the sky. Do you think this hairpin looks like stars in the sky?" Zhang Anchu showed Aunt Bai the hairpin, as if she was very proud of it. .
She thought that it was fate that she came across such jewelry.
Aunt Bai covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Well, shopkeeper, wrap this up."
"Okay, ma'am."
Later, Zhang Anchu chose a white jade bougie, a simple and elegant style, and Aunt Bai also bought it for her.
This time, Zhang Anchu did not negotiate the price, fearing to make Aunt Bai unhappy again, so he lectured again.
I bought some snacks for Zhang Hongze on the way. Seeing that it was already lunch time, I thought I would eat at a restaurant on the street.
The group of people returned to the teahouse just now. Opposite was the best restaurant in the city. When the group of people entered, they were greeted by the prince and the third prince.
Although Zhang Anchu was wearing a veil, His Highness the Crown Prince immediately recognized that this was the woman in the teahouse just now and stopped immediately.
"Third brother, look, who is that?" His Highness the Prince felt that it was fate to meet again!
The third prince held a sword in his hand and looked over. His eyes narrowed slightly and his face was stern. Instead of answering the prince's words, he said: "It's getting late. Don't you think it's cold outside? Come back to the inn quickly."
"I'm hungry again, let's go, third brother, come and have another meal with me." The prince turned back to the restaurant. He didn't want to miss such a fate. It would be great if he could catch up with him today.
The third prince was disgusted with such a lecherous person as the prince, who would do nothing serious, but he could only follow the prince back to the restaurant.
Since they were all female guests, it would be better to stay in a private room, so I asked the shopkeeper to find a private room.
After the group of them went up, His Royal Highness called the shopkeeper over and said, "Give me a room next to the one where the group just came."
The shopkeeper didn't know who he was, but judging from his appearance, he must be from a wealthy family.
Their restaurant is the best restaurant in the city. Many dignitaries will order a table of food to be delivered to the mansion. He has also met the person just now. Not long ago, the family banquet of the Marquis Mansion in Beiping was held in their restaurant. Ready to send over.
