Chapter 395 - 395: Shopping (1)

Countless brightly-dressed scholars and beauties were walking back and forth on the streets with folding fans or umbrellas.

When Pei Xiangjun returned to the capital, she completely became a madam from a wealthy family. She was walking along the street with a dignified bearing and watching the small pleasure boats coming and going. Xiuhe was following behind, carrying various items bought from the vendors.

Luo Ning was walking beside Third Lady with a cold and serious temperament. Beside her were Little Yunli, who was walking the bird, and Ping’er, who was full of curiosity since this was her first time in the capital.

This trip was to buy small daily necessities for the new residence, such as handkerchiefs, rouge, and small ornaments.

Because Zhe Yunli would also live in the new residence, Luo Ning brought the two of them along. In order to explain their relationship to Ping’er, she had spent a lot of brainpower. The general reason was that in order to hide her identity in the capital, she had deigned to pretend to be Ye Jingtang’s female friend, but many people misunderstood that she was Ye Jingtang’s lover. So she had told Ping’er that even if she heard about it, she shouldn’t explain it. It was fine as long as she understood the situation.

Ping’er knew the risks of hiding in the capital, so she naturally understood and didn’t ask further. She quickly got into character and treated herself as a new maidservant to avoid arousing suspicion.

Now that she had returned to the capital, Luo Ning could no longer be jealous and quarrel with Third Lady like when they were outside. She only maintained an aloof attitude while thinking about what had happened last night.

Thinking of last night, Luo Ning was a little annoyed. She had clearly discovered an unexpected situation, so she had rushed to Third Lady’s room. In the end, Third Lady, that petty woman, had refused to let go of her and forced her to choose between protecting the front or the back.

Ye Jingtang had been heartless. He only knew how to laugh foolishly and didn’t help her out!

If they were alone, the little thief would definitely have taken a different approach. She might have acted as if she had no choice and gritted her teeth to endure the humiliation. But with the Third Lady around, how could she do such shameless things?

Since she really couldn’t push her away, she could only choose the lesser of the two evils…

Luo Ning was walking on the street, finding it hard to describe her feelings. It was as if she wasn’t wearing any underwear. She didn’t have the face to see anyone at all. No one knew how much perseverance she used to maintain her cold fairy aura.

At the thought that it would take a couple of months for her to recover the appearance of a mature woman, Luo Ning felt very uneasy. If Yunli found out that she was so ridiculous in private, she would probably not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life…

While Luo Ning’s imagination was running wild, the five of them walked up a street and bought many daily items. They gradually arrived near Literary Virtue Bridge.

The people living at Literary Virtue Bridge were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The stores around them mostly sold luxury goods, and most of the pedestrians on the streets were members of prominent families in the capital.

Pei Xiangjun had a clear goal and planned to go to Fan Jiuniang’s store to pick out some sexy smallclothes. But halfway there, she saw a few young masters surrounding a traveling merchant on the street and talking.

“… Isn’t this a thousand-kilometer mirror? Last time, Brother Wang asked me to borrow a jade artifact from the previous dynasty, but he lost it and compensated me with this. Other than being able to look far away, it’s meaningless…”

“Young Master, what you said is wrong. This thousand-kilometer mirror is not simple. It was made by the Northern Liang’s military ordnance department. I spent a lot of money to get it from the Northern Liang border army. In the past, the former Fist Chief, Liu Qiansheng, could only detect the movements of grass a few kilometers away during his most powerful period. This thing is different. Even if it’s ten kilometers away, as long as you stand high, you can see the movements clearly…”

“Heh~ There really is the inscription of the Northern Liang’s military ordnance department… This thing sounds very good, but in reality, it can’t compare to Martial Chiefs. Liu Qiansheng could discover movements through a wall without even needing to raise his head. Wherever this thing can see, people with good eyesight can see it without using this thing…”

“Oh? Young Master, could it be that you have seen a formidable character like Liu Qiansheng in Jianghu?”

“I met him at Dragon Creek Alley a few days ago. I even learned a few fist moves…”

“Yo~! It looks like your identity isn’t ordinary. Sorry for being disrespectful…”

Zhe Yunli, who was walking behind, also heard the conversation. She turned around and saw two large baskets of strange objects, so she wanted to go over and take a look.

Luo Ning knew that the young masters of Literary Virtue Bridge all had extraordinary identities. She didn’t want to cause trouble for Ye Jingtang, so she pulled Zhe Yunli back and went over to Third Lady. “Didn’t Ye Jingtang say that Liu Qiansheng only teaches Grandmasters and not mediocre people? Who is that noble young master?”

Pei Xiangjun glanced over and continued walking forward. “The young marquis of the Marquis of Ding’an, who made meritorious contributions during the founding of the country. He is good friends with Wang Chihu, who is the Prince of Jing’s cousin. Liu Qiansheng has already been recruited. No matter how arrogant he is, he still has to understand the ways of the world. He definitely has to give face to the children of nobles. Anyway, they won’t be able to learn anything…”

“Oh.” Luo Ning nodded in understanding.

After Pei Xiangjun walked a little farther, she turned around and looked back. “Ordinary people can’t get the things made by the Northern Liang’s military ordnance department. This peddler probably found a way from the Hong Mountain Gang. A thousand-kilometer mirror is only ten taels of silver in Northern Liang, but he can sell it to noble young masters in Yun’an for a starting price of two hundred taels of silver. The profit is really enviable…”

Luo Ning blinked. “Your family business is so big. Can’t you just set up a workshop and make it yourself?”

“It’s not that simple. I’ve arranged for people to replicate it, but the color of the mirrors was too mixed, and it couldn’t be polished so smoothly. It looks out of shape…”

“You don’t know how to polish a mirror©?”

“I… What kind of mirror are you talking about?”

The two of them chatted along the way and unknowingly arrived at the Wang family’s medical clinic.

Luo Ning asked Pei Xiangjun to take the girls shopping while she entered with the controlled medicines that had been issued by the Imperial Court.
