When Wang Yanran heard this, she snorted indifferently: "So what? The emperor is different. He belongs to the queen, I know that. But I entered the palace just because I can eat delicious food and live a good life."
"I've inquired about it. The Queen is very virtuous and won't make things difficult for me. I don't ask for anything else. It's actually quite good to enter the palace."
What a naive kid! Qian Jiujiu didn't know what else to say, so she kept silent. Just at this moment, Qingye came back with the man in black.
"Master, we have found out that these people want to kill Miss Wang, and then send someone to replace Miss Wang into the palace to assassinate the emperor."
Qian Jiujiu raised an eyebrow. They were really bold. They actually wanted to assassinate the emperor. I wonder if these people were the same group
Wang Yanran was also shocked: "Oh my God, there are such bad people who actually want to kill me and take my place. It's so scary."
Seeing Wang Yanran just reacting, Qian Jiujiu suddenly didn't know what to say, so Butler Wang spoke up: "Please, heroes, save us and send us to the next city until I find enough people to protect my young lady. Rest assured, heroes, our Wang family will never mistreat anyone who has done us a favor."
Qian Jiujiu had already made this decision, not for the benefit of the Wang family, but because she thought Wang Yanran was quite interesting, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Ye Feifei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. Just like that, Qian Jiujiu and his group joined Wang Yanran and others and continued to head towards the next city.
The mountain city is also a city with a very large population. It is quite lively and prosperous. After Qian Jiujiu and his group arrived here, Wang Yanran excitedly insisted on getting off the carriage.
After getting off, he kept bothering Qian Jiujiu: "Madam, come down and take a walk together. What's the point of you walking around in the carriage? Is that okay?"
This girl really had no ill will towards her, she was just a little naive. She didn't hate Qianjiujiu Island, and she hadn't had a good time shopping after traveling for so many days.
I got off the horse and followed Wang Yanran down the street. After entering the city, there was a busy street with all kinds of things for sale. Even the hairbands that Beibei and his friends had made some time ago were there.
At this time, Wang Yanran took a fancy to one of the hair ties and rushed to it. She took it in her hand and looked at it from left to right: "Vendor, how do you sell this thing? It's so beautiful, and it's actually on a small stall like yours."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. This person's words were really not pleasant at all. Fortunately, the vendor boss was not angry. Instead, he smiled and joked that the girl in front of him was a big fat sheep, and it would be a waste if he didn't kill her.
"Girl, you are really good at joking. Although my stall is a little small, everything I sell here is good stuff. If you like this hairband, take it for fifteen taels of silver."
Fifteen taels? Qian Jiujiu blinked his eyes. This person was really evil. The factory price of a hairband like this was less than two hundred wen, but he wanted to sell it at a sky-high price. Only a fool would be fooled.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard Wang Yanran's voice: "Xiaoyu, pay."
Poof! What a fool! He didn't even ask for the price and just paid. She shook her head and thought, "Forget it. The Wang family has plenty of money anyway. She should stop talking."
At this time, Mu Yexiao walked to Qian Jiujiu's side and also took out a jade hairpin: "This style is quite special, do you like it?"
It was a white jade hairpin. It seemed that the peddler was right. Although the stall was small, the things sold were pretty good. The peddler had now received fifteen taels of silver and was very happy!
Seeing that Mu Yexiao was also planning to buy his things, he hurried over to introduce: "This young man has a good eye. This white jade hairpin only costs eighty taels, and it can also make your wife happy..."
"Five taels, will you sell it?"
Huh? The vendor was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face turned awkward: "Sir, you are joking, right? You don't look like a poor person with the clothes you wear. Why only five taels? Besides, how can something bought with five taels of silver be worthy of your wife?"
Qian Jiujiu curled her lips and said, "Actually, I don't particularly like this white jade hairpin. It's just okay. You can have it or not."
Mu Yexiao said, "Forget it, let's look at something else."
The vendor's face became even worse. Seeing that the two were really going to leave, he was about to make up his mind when he heard a pleasant voice: "Eighty taels is not expensive. How about I buy it and give it to you?"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes. What a silly girl! She is addicted to being ripped off. She shook her head and said, "I don't want it from you."
After saying this, Wang Yanran looked at Qian Jiujiu with some frustration: "Why? They are the same things, so doesn't it matter who buys them?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Of course it's different. I don't like such things at all. But if it's bought by my husband, it's different. I can barely accept it. For others, forget it."
The corner of the peddler's mouth twitched when he heard this. He acted as if he was so awesome. A person who came to his stall to buy something and bargained for the price actually said that he didn't like his stuff. The peddler was furious.
What made him even more angry was that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao really didn’t seem to plan to sell it. The vendor gritted his teeth and looked at the two of them: “Wait a minute, five taels is five taels, I’ll sell it to you.”
Now it was Wang Yanran's turn to be dumbfounded: "You really sold it for only five taels?"
Mu Yexiao paid the money, Qian Jiujiu looked at Wang Yanran and said, "This thing is only worth five taels of silver at best. It's normal to buy it with five taels."
Wang Yanran looked down at the hair tie in her hand, then looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Then how much do you think this hair tie of mine costs?"
Qian Jiujiu did not hide it: "This hairband of yours is a more complicated one. It costs 50 wen to make it. If you sell it, it usually costs between 80 and 100 wen."
The things sold at the stalls of small vendors in the city are generally priced at this price. If it is anything else, it is estimated to be worth only a few Wenqian. Of course, this one is expensive because it has gems on it, although they are small pieces.
At this moment, Wang Yanran's mind was filled with eighty coins? But she spent fifteen taels, how many times that? When she turned to look at the vendor, Wang Yanran was a little angry: "You actually lied to me."
The vendor quickly packed up the items on his stall, then quickly hid in the crowd and ran away.
Wang Yanran was stunned by this series of actions: "Why is he running?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "The total value of the items on his stall is only about fifteen taels. He made fifteen taels from you, but you're not running away. I'll wait for you to come back."
Wang Yanran was a little depressed: "Madam, you really are a fool. You knew that this thing was worthless, but you didn't stop me."
Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows. She was to blame for this. "The Wang family is rich enough to rival a country. Besides, a thousand gold coins cannot buy a loved one. Do you think a mere fifteen taels of silver will be worth it?"
This seems to make sense, but Wang Yanran is still a little unhappy: "But I still feel like I've been cheated."
The hairband in her hand suddenly felt dull. She grumbled, but unfortunately Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao ignored her. Wang Yanran could only snort and continue shopping. She was simple-minded and didn't think too much. Anyway, she had a lot of money and didn't care much.
Not far ahead, they saw a large group of people gathered together. Wang Yanran was a person who liked to be lively, so when she saw this situation, she subconsciously ran over. Butler Wang and the maid beside him also followed immediately.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, and then followed. In fact, the reason for following was because Qian Jiujiu was also curious about why there were so many people gathered here.
After squeezing in, they found that in the center of the room was actually a woman, dressed in white, with a pitiful expression on her face. In front of her was a piece of white cloth covering a corpse. Seeing this, Qian Jiujiu seemed to understand what they had encountered.
Could this be the legendary "that guy" who buried his father with his own body? After coming to this world for so many years, Qian Jiujiu had never encountered such a situation before. Curiosity flickered in her big eyes: "Mu Yexiao, in our Great Zhou Kingdom, are there still such people now? Who die without money to bury them?"
Of course, it was not only Qian Jiujiu who was curious, but also Wang Yanran. Wang Yanran was a very compassionate person, and subconsciously wanted to give money, but she didn't know how much to give, because she didn't know how much the burial would cost. She was asking the maid beside her to calculate it slowly. She didn't want to be a sucker this time.
After Mu Yexiao took a look at the woman and heard Qian Jiujiu's words, he couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that Madam also likes to watch the fun, you should take a closer look."
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and carefully observed the girl who needed to bury her father. He found that the girl was very clean and most importantly, beautiful. There were no calluses on her hands. She looked like a young lady raised by a rich family.
So this woman was most likely coming for someone, but who was she coming for? Just when Qian Jiujiu was curious and Wang Yanran was still settling accounts, a large group of people suddenly arrived.
The person rushing in the front was actually a fat woman with an exaggerated hairstyle and heavy makeup. One could tell at a glance that she was a mother.
The old woman looked at the girl who needed to bury her father, and her eyes lit up instantly: "What a good seedling, girl, what's your name? Come with me, I promise you will have a good life in the future."
After this old lady appeared, people around her sighed, obviously knowing her.
