I returned to my room to change my clothes, and then came out. The shopkeeper helped me pack my clothes and gave it to Xia Shui.
"Miss, why are you wearing that red one?" Xia Shui did not understand.
"While it's true that it's pretty, it's still too gorgeous. I don't want to attract people's gazes by wearing such flashy clothes. It's better to keep a low profile." I mysteriously smiled at Xia Shui.
When we came out of the shop, the coachman had already brought the carriage over. Bai Jing and Qi Mo were about to get on the carriage when they saw me coming over.
"Why did you change your clothes?" Qi Mo had a puzzled expression as well.
"I don't want to wear red today." "No," I said.
"Then where are we going next?" I asked.
"Buy something else."
"About that, I don't want to be a carriage. Can you take a stroll by yourself?" I asked Bai Jing.
Bai Jing turned around and looked at me. "Why?" He coldly spat out a few words.
"I'm speechless, why did you say that?" It's rare for me to come out, so of course I want to take a look around. "
"What's there to look at?"
"You guys often look at it, so of course you'll feel that there's nothing to see. But this is the first time I've seen it, so of course I'm curious and want to look around." I put my hands together and said a prayer to Bai Jing.
"Then let's go for a walk as well. It's not comfortable making this carriage." Qi Mo said to Bai Jing.
Knowing that he was speaking up for me, I immediately gave him a grateful look. After which, I continued to look expectantly at Bai Jing. Under both of our gazes, Bai Jing finally opened his mouth and said, "Sure."
After that, Bai Jing, Qi Mo, and Xia Shui all looked at me with a baffled expression. I awkwardly smiled, lowered my head, and pulled Xia Shui along.
Qi Mo's undisguised laughter came from behind me. I turned my head and glared at him, and he immediately covered his mouth with his fan to prevent himself from laughing. I then turned my head.
I walked very slowly and looked at the merchants on both sides of the road. Although they were covered by light muslin, it didn't affect my enthusiasm. I had already completely forgotten that there were two men behind me.
Xia Shui was dragged over here by me and over there in a while. Xia Shui was younger than me, and although there were times when she was a little mature, shopping was the nature of every girl. She was also full of zest as she strolled around excitedly with me.
"What is this?"
"What is this for?"
"Why does this look so strange?"
"What is this thing made of?"
Along the way, I kept chattering away about how every strange zone had to hold onto Xia Shui. Xia Shui patiently explained each and every one of them to me.
"Sugar gourd." As I walked, I suddenly saw a trader selling candied fruits in front of us. I excitedly ran over to him. "I've finally found the delicacy that has been passed down for a thousand years."
"Xia Shui, you come too." I took two skewers of candied fruits from the peddler, and saw Bai Jing and Qi Mo, who had been following behind us the entire time.
I waved the candied fruits in my hand at them. "Are you eating or not?" Bai Jing looked at the candied fruits in my hands in disdain, and rejected them with a face full of disapproval.
Qi Mo glanced at it for a moment, then said, "This is something that only a child would like, how can you like it?"
"One look and you won't enjoy it." I looked at him sympathetically. After Xia Shui paid me from behind, I handed her a bunch of candied flakes. She was a little bashful, probably because of Qi Mo and Bai Jing's presence.
I pushed it into her hand without saying a word. "Eat quickly, otherwise the syrup will melt."
I took a bite of the candied fruit. It had a hint of sour, sour, sweet taste, a taste from memory, but it tasted much better than what I'd bought in a modern supermarket.
I quickly finished a stick of candied fruits, and Xia Shui very meticulously took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth.
When we arrived in front of a shop that was beautifully decorated, Bai Jing stopped his steps. I also stopped behind him, "Jade Stone Pavilion." When I looked at the signboard at the entrance, I couldn't help but read it out loud.
"Is this a jade store?" I asked Xia Shui who was behind me.
"This is the largest gold, silver, and jade exchange in the capital. The items here are all of the best quality." Xia Shui said excitedly behind me.
"Why are you so excited? Are you going to steal them?" I teased Xia Shui.
Miss, you don't know, those who can enter this place are all rich and powerful families. Without a special pass, even if you are a noble, you are not allowed to enter as you please. I have heard about the splendor and splendor of this place before, but I could only take a glance from afar. Xia Shui's face was full of anticipation.
"Good luck." I smiled and pinched Xia Shui's cheek. The baby fat on Xia Shui's face was easy to touch.
Bai Jing's follower took out a sign. It should be the pass for this place. Then, the guard respectfully invited us in.
Bai Jing and Qi Mo were extremely familiar with this place. After Bai Jing and the others entered, they walked straight up to the second floor. There was a big hall on the first floor and a stage in the middle.
"What's that table for?" I'm curious.
Xia Shui was also doubtful, and she shook her head. Qi Mo was not far ahead of me, and upon hearing my words, he slowed down his pace, came to my side and said, "That is the rock gambling platform, and also the auction stage. If there is a high quality rock alive, the best jade would be displayed there, this way, we can clearly see the surroundings, the people upstairs, and the people downstairs, and we can also bid."
I made an "oh" to show that I understood.
"Where are we going?" I followed him for a while, but Bai Jing didn't stop.
"Everyone who comes here is a person of status. Everyone here has their own private room, so of course we have to go there to choose something." Qi Mo waved the fan in his hand and said slowly.
I curled my lips. You evil capitalist, couldn't you just buy something and pick it yourself? Why don't you send someone else to the box to pick it?
Finally, we arrived at Bai Jing's private room. The private room was very large with a table and a soft couch. I was speechless. How was this a resting private room? It was simply a luxurious private room for hotels. Sure enough, the rich were different.
"Prince, please wait a moment. I will bring you the best jade artifacts from the shop." Then he left.
A few attendants came up with tea that had been brewed and a few plates of pastries. I looked at the pastries and saw that they looked pretty good. However, I didn't know how to taste them and couldn't help but to swallow my saliva.
