Chapter 67 Go shopping
...
"Oh dear! Her beautiful image has been shattered; this is outrageous!"
Talking to herself, Qiao Wanwan walked straight to her room.
As we turned a corner, we overheard some passing martial arts heroes talking about something.
She stopped in her tracks, took a step back, and listened carefully.
"Brother Lu, we need to prepare supplies here before heading to Biluo Manor."
"Of course! I heard they even have hot spring baths for entertaining heroes over there. It's really great!"
"Haha, it's just the two of us. We've been traveling for so long without a proper break. It's a blessing to get there and soak in a hot spring."
"Yes, we need to wear some nice clothes. Otherwise, what kind of appearance would we make traveling the world in tattered clothes? We might even be looked down upon by other heroes."
"Brother Lu is right, then let's hurry up and buy some clothes today."
"Walk."
"... "
The two swordsmen left the corridor arm in arm, and only then did a head peek out from around the corner behind them.
Qiao Wanwan stroked her smooth chin and thought about it seriously for a moment.
"Our next destination seems to be Biluo Manor as well?"
"There are hot springs there? That's amazing!"
She looked down at herself, thinking about how many clothes she had torn, tattered, and thrown away over the past few days.
She nodded and muttered to herself:
"I still need to buy a few new outfits first, that's the plan."
"Hurry back to your room and call Chunxia, we need to go out and buy some clothes together!"
Qiao Wanwan snapped her fingers, a sweet smile on her face.
She happily skipped back to her room, humming a little tune.
With a creak, the door was gently pushed open.
Chunxia, who was waiting in the room, felt much relieved when she saw her mistress return safely.
"Miss, you're back!"
"Spring and Summer, it just so happens that I came to see you about something."
"Find me?"
"Yes, hurry up and get ready, the two of us are going out shopping today."
When Chunxia heard the young lady say this, her eyes lit up with joy.
Show a happy smile and reply to her.
"Okay, miss."
...
Candied hawthorn berries~
"Selling candied hawthorns!"
Amidst the bustling crowds on the street, a young girl dressed in mint green appeared in the crowd with her maid.
Passing people couldn't help but stare at the beautiful woman as they walked by.
I was deeply shocked:
When has such a beautiful woman ever appeared in town?
Qiao Wanwan didn't pay much attention to the stares of passersby.
Being on a bustling street feels very lively and comfortable.
Unlike when I'm usually on high alert and rushing, I'm much more relaxed now.
Qiao Wanwan didn't suppress her own nature and did whatever she wanted.
She wants to eat candied hawthorn.
He quickly called out to Chunxia behind him.
"Spring and Summer, you have to keep up, I'm going to buy candied hawthorns."
"Okay, Miss, don't worry. Chunxia is always by your side."
"it is good."
Qiao Wanwan lifted her rather long skirt and took a step to catch up with the vendor who was hawking candied hawthorns.
Blocking his path, he held up a finger and said with a grin:
"Boss, boss, I have a candied hawthorn."
The vendor was momentarily surprised to see such a beautiful girl and happily handed her a candied hawthorn.
"Alright, miss, please take this."
"Okay, thank you boss."
Chunxia, who was behind her, also rushed over and paid one or two taels of silver for the young lady.
"Boss, this is yours, keep the change."
"Ouch!"
The owner was flattered to see that they were so generous in giving him one or two taels of silver, enough to buy his entire day's business.
Somewhat disbelieving, he stared at the silver coins, awkwardly reaching out to take them, and excitedly said:
"Miss, you're too kind. I should be the one thanking you."
Qiao Wanwan watched as Chunxia simply followed by, not eating anything.
This won't do. She reminded Chunxia:
"In spring and summer, you should also have a candied hawthorn. It tastes so sweet."
"Yes, Chunxia thanks you, Miss."
Chunxia also received a new candied hawthorn from the shopkeeper, her little face flushed as she followed the young lady, carefree as she savored the sweet candied hawthorn.
Qiao Wanwan saw that she was happy, so it was worth it.
In her mind, there was no distinction between master and servant.
If others treat her well, she will naturally share in their good fortune.
Qiao Wanwan smiled sweetly, just like the candied hawthorn.
Just then, her mint-colored sleeve was suddenly tugged.
"?"
The woman looked down in confusion.
I saw a little boy, about five years old, dressed in tattered clothes, with a little girl hiding behind him, tugging at her sleeve.
His eyes were sparkling, staring intently at her as he smiled.
"Sister, you are so beautiful."
"... "
The owner selling candied hawthorns saw that they were the two little beggars from town.
Fearing they might anger their guests, he spoke to them in a slightly harsher tone, urging them to leave:
"It's you two little brats again. Don't touch this guest with your filthy hands."
The boss slapped away the little boy's hand, which was tugging at Qiao Wanwan's sleeve and was somewhat blackened.
The little boy took a few steps back and hugged the frightened little girl behind him.
The boss smiled and explained to Qiao Wanwan:
"Please don't mind them, young lady. These two children are notorious beggars in our town. They beg from everyone who passes by. They're really annoying. I'll help you chase them away right now."
Qiao Wanwan saw that the boss was about to take a stick to chase people away, so she quickly stopped him.
"Hey, wait."
"?"
The boss stopped what he was doing, looking puzzled.
Watching the girl approach the little beggar with the candied hawthorn in her hand.
Chunxia didn't know what the young lady wanted to do, so she called out to her.
"Miss?"
Qiao Wanwan did not stop. She walked straight to the little boy and his sister and slowly squatted down.
He pushed his candied hawthorn forward.
The children opposite were stunned for a moment, guessing whether this pretty lady wanted to give them candied hawthorns.
It stretched out its dirty little hand, wanting to take it away.
At this moment, Qiao Wanwan snatched the candied hawthorn away.
The little boy's hands were empty; he hadn't gotten anything.
Feeling somewhat deceived, the corners of his lips drooped.
Qiao Wanwan suddenly said to the little boy:
"Little brother, were you telling the truth just now?"
Everyone was puzzled by Qiao Wanwan's question.
The child didn't lie and nodded seriously.
"Mmm, you're so beautiful, sister. I've been begging in this town for two years and I've never seen such a pretty girl as you."
"Yes, I like listening to this."
Qiao Wanwan smiled knowingly, satisfied with what the child had said.
He said to them:
"Okay, then I'll buy you candied hawthorns."
"really?"
"Of course, with your sweet tongue, it would be unreasonable not to buy it for you."
Qiao Wanwan stood up and waved to her boss behind her.
Seeing that he could make money again, the boss quickened his pace considerably.
He walked past with a big, carefree laugh and generously handed the child a candied hawthorn.
The little girl actually got her hands on a luxurious candied hawthorn skewer, made with large, plump hawthorns covered in orange-red caramel.
Her big, bright eyes sparkled as she excitedly said:
"Wow, brother, it really is candied hawthorn! This is the first time Yan'er has ever tried it. It's so sweet and delicious."
"Yes, this is my first time eating it too."
