We originally planned to go shopping together, but we met at a teahouse. We happened to have breakfast and then we strolled casually on the street together.
"Where do you want to go, Miss Yuzhu?" Yuan Rongcheng glanced at the bun on Li Yuzhu's head. It was a girl's bun with only one or two simple hair accessories. It was extremely simple and elegant.
Li Yuzhu shook his head, "I don't have anything to buy, what do you want to buy, Third Young Master?"
"I am a grown man and have nothing to buy. I just have a girl to accompany me shopping today, so I will buy the right items when I see them later." Yuan Rongcheng looked at her with a smile on his face: "Either we go to the front.
Check out a jewelry store?"
Li Yuzhu met Yuan Rongcheng's gentle eyes and panicked, "Ah? The third young master wants to buy some jewelry to give to the Yuan family members?"
Yuan Rongcheng smiled and shook his head, "When I came to Lingnan, I never gave the girl a formal gift. Why don't you choose a piece of jewelry that you are satisfied with today?"
Li Yuzhu didn't expect that he wanted to give him a gift, but this was a bit strange, "Didn't you already give me a set of jewelry last time you visited the palace?"
What's the point of not giving her a formal gift?
Could it be that the meeting gift I gave you when you came to the palace last time was not formal?
Yuan Rongcheng was dumbfounded. Could he say that the gift he gave last time was prepared by the housekeeper at home?
"Ahem, the gift I gave you last time was because I thought it suited you. The difference this time is that after I met you, the gift I gave you must be more suitable for your temperament."
When Li Yuzhu heard this, it became clear that gifts given in person were forced to be given based on etiquette.
But this time when they met, he was satisfied with her and liked her in his heart, so he willingly gave her gifts to compensate her.
From the change in Li Yuzhu's mind, it can be seen that the Yuan family man's ability to coax people with his mouth is really good.
Seeing the rare shyness on her face, Yuan Rongcheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Let's go, if the jewelry here is fashionable, you can pick a few more pieces. It will be my gift to you for this year's festivals."
Chun'er, the maid Xu, supported Li Yuzhu. After listening to his words, she leaned into Li Yuzhu's ear and whispered: "Miss, Mr. Yuan San is so considerate. I want to replenish you with the gifts for this year's festivals."
The year is almost over. I am giving gifts for each festival. What is this if it is not compensation?
She has lived in a royal palace since childhood, and her life in the capital was extremely luxurious. After coming to Lingnan, although her life is not as good as that in the capital, it is not bad compared to other major families in Lingnan.
Clothes and jewelry for each season are distributed on time by the government, and her mother will also subsidize her with some jewelry. Coupled with what she has accumulated in the past, she is actually a little rich woman.
Although Li Yuzhu has no shortage of jewelry, the feeling of being remembered and cared about makes her a little nostalgic.
When she came out of the jewelry shop, the maid Chun'er had a wooden box in her hand, which contained jewelry worth more than two thousand taels.
The two of them continued wandering with their servants, and not far away they saw a plaque saying Xia Ji Salt Shop.
"What a coincidence, Xia Ji Salt Shop is so famous in Lingnan, almost everyone in Fucheng knows about it. I didn't expect that we would end up here while shopping."
Saying that, Yuan Rongcheng turned around and smiled at Li Yuzhu: "I heard that Xiaji Salt Shop is the property of the princess?"
This matter is not a secret in Lingnan. Li Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "It was a property purchased by my grandmother after she came to Lingnan. There are three branches in Fucheng."
Yuan Rongcheng: "Since we passed by the princess's shop, let's go in and have a look."
When the salt shop opened, Ding Daqiang was in charge of these shops. Later, after the salt shop's business stabilized, Ding Daqiang was transferred to Huaxia Real Estate Company by Xia Jing.
Now the shopkeeper of the salt shop is Ding Daqiang's former deputy, a clever young man named Changdong.
Since Changdong belongs to Xia Jing, he may not necessarily know everyone in the palace.
No, when Li Yuzhu and Yuan Rongcheng came in, he didn't recognize them.
The most important reason is that Li Yuzhu is a female member of the royal family and lives in the back house and rarely goes out.
"Welcome, what do you two gentlemen need?"
Yuan Rongcheng looked at the furnishings in the store and smiled: "Just take a look."
"Okay, sir, please feel free to do so." Changdong took a step back to make room for them to look around.
Li Yuzhu felt the coolness in the store, "I just walked outside for a while and it was a bit hot, but it's so cool in this store!"
The maid Chun'er pointed to a corner and reminded: "Miss, don't forget that the princess's ice is also sold through the salt shop."
Li Yuzhu followed her guidance and found a few huge ice cubes placed in a corner of the store. "Having ice means being willful. Putting a few such big ice cubes in the store, I don't even think about cooling off!"
After hearing what they said, Yuan Rongcheng asked in surprise: "It doesn't seem to snow in Lingnan in winter, right? Where does the princess transport ice to sell? She transports ice from other places to sell, but she is afraid that the ice cubes will turn into water halfway?"
"
He had never heard of Princess Qian selling ice before.
Li Yuzhu explained: "The ice here is made artificially, not transported from other places."
"Ice making?" Yuan Rongcheng was a little confused, "Can this ice be made? Is this a magic trick?"
Put water into a bucket, and when the spell is cast, the water in the bucket turns into ice, just like the description in a fairy tale.
Changdong, who was standing aside, listened to their conversation and couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled.
Yuan Rongcheng caught a glimpse of him smiling from the corner of his eye, turned his head and asked: "Can the shopkeeper help us clear up our doubts?"
Changdong smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, ice making is a secret recipe in our shop and will not be shared with others."
"Sorry, I was rash." Yuan Rongcheng smiled and patted his forehead. He was so shocked that he ignored the important point.
The secret recipe is an undisclosed secret for others to make money, so how could it be revealed to others?
Changdong smiled and said he didn't mind.
Yuan Rongcheng walked around the store and found that there was also jasmine tea for sale. Smelling the rich fragrance of jasmine, his eyes lit up, "This tea is good, give it to the women at home, they will definitely like it. The shopkeeper, this
Plant jasmine tea and help me prepare a few pounds."
Changdong: "The guest has good taste. Jasmine tea is a specialty of Lingnan. It is deeply loved by ladies and ladies and is sold well in our store."
"Really?" Yuan Rongcheng waved his hand, "Then prepare twenty kilograms for me!"
I can just give some to all my relatives when I get back. I hope they will all fall in love with this scented tea. It can be considered as a publicity for the princess.
After coming out of the salt shop, Yuan Rongcheng was about to suggest that he go shopping in the north of the city when he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. After a while, a fast horse galloped through the street.
When Yuan Rongcheng saw the letter flag stuck on the back of the man on horseback, his expression became solemn.
When Li Yuzhu saw the fast horse galloping past, she was so frightened that her face changed.
She asked Yuan Rongcheng in a trembling voice, "Third Young Master, is this a messenger from the front line?"
