After the dinner, everyone went back to their own rooms.
Everyone in the Jiang family felt that they were not used to being served by servants, so they sent back the maids and servants sent by the Mu family.
There is a separate small kitchen and well in the courtyard where they live, and they boil the water for washing at night.
Just a moment after Jiang Zhiyue returned to the house, there was a knock on the door.
She walked over and opened the door and found Mrs. Mu standing outside the door.
As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Mu smiled and asked, "Is Miss Jiang still used to living there?"
Jiang Zhiyue invited the people in and said, "Madam has made thoughtful arrangements and everything is fine."
"It's so late, why did Madam come to see me?"
Mrs. Mu took two steps in and said: "There is indeed something. Butler Mu has told me what happened here this afternoon. It was our mistake. I have also sold that maid. I am here.
Ask Miss Jiang if she was frightened in any way?"
Jiang Zhiyue understood in her heart that it was because of this.
Mrs. Mu, a matron of the house, can come to kiss her and ask her about this 'frightened' victim, which is already full of sincerity.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't care about anything, she said directly: "It's okay, Mrs. Lao is worried about me."
Mrs. Mu expressed her apology and left on the grounds that she would not disturb Jiang Zhiyue's rest.
…
On the morning of the second day, everyone got up early, because it was agreed yesterday that they would go shopping in Luo City today to buy some things, and then say goodbye to the Mu family tomorrow.
Mu Qi knew the Jiang family's plan and originally wanted to keep them for a while, but the Jiang family was resolute, so he could only let Mu Yingming take them around Luo City.
There was something going on in the Mu family's shop, so Mu Qi and Mrs. Mu went to the shop to solve the problem together, while brothers Mu Yongming and Mu Zhiming also went to the school in Luo City to continue their classes.
The remaining people, together with father and daughter Bai Wu and Mu Qiqi, were taken shopping in Luo City by Mu Yingming.
Mu Yingming glanced at Jiang Zhiyue shyly, and happily continued the matter.
Before leaving the house, Ouyang Ming glanced at Mu Yingming unhappily, and then called out to Jiang Zhiyue.
He lowered his head and said softly: "Zhiyue, I have to go out for something. Please go out and have fun."
Jiang Zhiyue didn't ask him what he was going to do. She nodded and said, "Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."
The Jiang family changed into their own clothes and followed Mu Yingming out of the Mu Mansion.
Guhuai Village is not far from Luocheng, but it is not too close either. When they return to Guhuai Village, if they want to buy something, it will be more convenient to buy it in the town over there.
Therefore, the main purpose of their trip is to inquire about the situation and take a look at the local customs and customs.
The group of people just felt that everything they saw was novel, especially the lively atmosphere on this street, which was simply unmatched by the ten places where they lived before.
Little Wang was too old now, and everyone was worried that she would bump into each other when she came out, so they didn't take her out. Jiang Yulai also stayed in Mu Mansion to accompany her.
Six people, Sanlang, Shilang, Wulang, Liulang and Ming Yixi, Ming Yuanqing, were walking in the front, looking left and right.
Suddenly a shout came: "Tanghulu, red and round candied haws."
Sanlang, Liulang and Ming Yuanqing who were walking in front ran directly over and asked the vendor to give them a bunch of candied haws.
The vendor selling candied haws on a stick looked at the three children and there were many adults and children following them, so he happily picked off three bunches of candied haws and handed them to them.
Then he looked at Mr. Jiang and the others and said, "Sir, please give a bunch to the other children in the family."
Ming Yuanqing took a bite of the candied haws and said, "Well, it's sour and sweet, so delicious."
Rokuro, on the other hand, was so sore that his mouth watered.
Several other people were also excited to see it, and they all ordered a bunch each. The straw target carried by the candied haws hawker was immediately more than half empty.
A bunch of candied haws cost three cents. Mrs. Jiang counted the copper coins she had prepared and handed them over to the vendor.
Everyone had a bunch of candied haws in their hands and started walking to other places.
Whenever they encounter snacks along the way, they will buy some.
Fortunately, they came out in large numbers, so even if Mu Yingming went out without anyone, he could still take them.
Mu Yingming was also extremely enthusiastic and was always eager to help them buy things.
The Jiang family just thought that Mu Yingming had listened to the instructions of the Mu family and his wife and did not think about anything else.
After walking around, everyone bought a lot of food and didn't buy anything else.
Walking to a jewelry store, Mu Yingming took a secret look at Jiang Zhiyue and found that she had no jewelry on her head.
It's so simple, all the girls in Luo City wear gold and silver.
He suddenly stopped and the people behind him also stopped.
Jiang Dalang asked: "Brother Yingming, why don't you leave?"
Mu Yingming felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't say that he wanted to go in and buy some accessories for Jiang Zhiyue.
No, it will definitely be considered frivolous by them.
When he turned around, he happened to see Mu Qiqi walking not far from him without any accessories on her head.
He coughed lightly and said, "Sister Qiqi has just come back. I want to go in and help her buy some jewelry."
After saying that, he looked back and invited: "You guys can go in together and help me refer to it."
Mu Qiqi was surprised when she heard Mu Yingming say that he wanted to help her buy jewelry.
On the second day after she arrived, her aunt had already prepared jewelry and other items for her, but her eldest brother suddenly mentioned this matter.
Just when she looked at Mu Yingming in confusion and wanted to refuse, she saw that her cousin kept glancing back.
Mu Qiqi followed his eyes and looked back, and found that the person he was looking at was Jiang Zhiyue.
Mu Qiqi secretly smiled. It seemed like her cousin was not interested in drinking.
Anyway, she doesn't plan to get married in this life, so she will definitely stay in Mu Mansion.
She also likes Zhiyue very much. If her elder brother is interested in Zhiyue, it would be a pleasure to marry her.
However, that Ouyang Ming, who was also Prince An, seemed to be interested in Zhiyue and had the upper hand.
Although he is in trouble now, there is no telling what day he will become a high-ranking heir again and the future prince.
Her elder brother's situation is not optimistic.
But if Ouyang Ming really returns to Beijing and reclaims his identity, and if Zhiyue follows him, won't he have to compete with a group of women all day long?
In just that moment, Mu Qiqi had a lot of things on her mind.
Having been together day and night for five months, Mu Qiqi had already regarded Jiang Zhiyue as a close friend, and naturally she also wanted her to find a good husband.
She will not interfere with Jiang Zhiyue's decision, but she can give her more choices.
So facing Mu Yingming's expectant gaze, Mu Qiqi also persuaded: "Now that we are here, let's go in and take a look."
Everyone had no choice but to follow Mu Yingming and walk in.
The waiter in the store knew Mu Yingming.
Mrs. Mu is a frequent customer of this store and has asked him to help pick up things several times.
The waiter looked at the long line of people following Mu Yingming, walked up to him and asked respectfully: "Mr. Mu, what do you want to buy today?"
Mu Yingming looked over at Jiang Zhiyue and Mu Qiqi, as well as the other two little girls, Zhang Xiaoyan and Ming Yuanqing.
He said: "Help my sister and... a few friends buy some jewelry and take a look at your new models."
The clerk quickly brought out several pieces of newly made jewelry, all of which were the latest models of rockers and hairpins.
Mu Qiqi took the initiative to take Jiang Zhiyue to watch together.
In order to help Jiang Zhiyue buy it less abruptly, Mu Yingming called Zhang Xiaoyan and Ming Yuanqing and said, "See if there is anything you like."
Zhang Xiaoyan glanced at the jewelry that seemed to be worth a lot of money and shook her head sensibly: "I don't need to buy them."
Ming Yuanqing had already fallen in love with the shiny jewelry the waiter brought out.
She pulled Zhang Xiaoyan, Jiang Zhiyue and Mu Qiqi who were about to retreat to the back and gathered around to watch.
Mu Qiqi chose one she liked, and then asked Jiang Zhiyue to choose.
"Zhiyue, please choose one too."
Jiang Zhiyue really saw something she liked. It was a simple wooden branch with only an auspicious cloud engraved on it.
When Jiang Zhiyue took it in her hand, the wood was heavy and had a fragrant smell.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "I'll take this."
The waiter next to me said: "The girl has really good eyesight. Although this wooden branch looks simple, it is made of the finest agarwood. Even the carving of the pattern on it was made by a master."
Jiang Zhiyue responded lightly.
Ming Yuanqing was dazzled by the choices he had made, but in the end he still picked up a silver jewelry.
She still prefers silver to gold jewelry or other jewelry made of beads.
Only Zhang Xiaoyan had nothing in her hand.
Ming Yuanqing gave her a strange look and asked, "Sister Xiaoyan, why didn't you choose anything?"
Zhang Xiaoyan was a little embarrassed and said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "I...I don't like these, so I won't choose them."
Jiang Zhiyue was close to her, so she naturally heard her voice.
She looked up at Zhang Xiaoyan's timid expression, rubbed her head and said, "Choose the one you like and I'll give it to you."
Zhang Xiaoyan quickly refused: "No, cousin Zhiyue, I don't need these things."
She is now separated from her family. Now she depends on her aunt and uncle for food, clothing and shelter. She can no longer trouble them.
Jiang Zhiyue gave some words of persuasion, and Mrs. Zhang heard the movement and came over.
Once you know the reason, let her get one.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoyan took the most inconspicuous one among these accessories.
Mu Yingming saw that they all chose jewelry, asked the waiter to wrap it up, and wanted to pay.
It's just that Jiang Zhiyue paid for the four things they took faster.
He took back the money that the clerk had just received and wanted to return it to Jiang Zhiyue.
Mu Yingming looked at Jiang Zhiyue, who had already paid, and said hesitantly: "Miss Jiang, this... this is neither emotional nor rational. I agreed to give it to you."
Jiang Zhiyue said directly: "Young Master Mu, you won't get paid for your merits, and we can't even afford to buy a few jewelry."
