Traveling through the ancient times

Chapter 57 Anxious Madam Du

At the beginning of the year, the couple looked around the first floor and then went up to the second floor. The styles upstairs were indeed much better than those downstairs. Each set of jewelry was displayed separately, each with its own beauty.

At the beginning of the year, I fell in love with a pair of smoky purple agate carved hairpins, matched with a pair of earrings in the same color, also in the shape of flowers, crystal clear, lifelike, and very beautiful.

Nianchuhua called the maid who was waiting on the side, "Let me take a look at this."

The maid came over with a smile, took out the tray with the hairpins on it, and placed it in front of the New Year's Eve painting. "Young lady, you have good taste. This pair of carved hairpins is a new model that was made just yesterday. They were displayed today and you chose them. It shows that you are destined to be with me."

Chushul Hua smiled without saying anything. She took the hairpin in her hand and looked at it carefully. The workmanship was indeed ingenious, and every stamen in the flower was made very delicately.

"The firework purple color is very lively. Young lady is pretty and charming, and she will look more radiant with it. Shall I try it on you?" The maid also saw that Nian Chuhua liked the pair of hairpins, so she strongly recommended them.

Jiang Ruixue also thought that the pair of hairpins were beautiful and the colors were suitable for the beginning of the year, so she asked her to try them on.

When Chushunhua heard this, she agreed and sat in front of the mirror while the maid helped her put it on.

"It's really beautiful. This hairpin suits you very well. Let me put the earrings on you as well!" After saying this, the maid took off the earrings she had painted at the beginning of the year and put them aside, then put on the carved earrings of the same color.

"It suits you very well. It looks even better once you put on the earrings!" Jiang Ruixue praised.

Nian Chuhua looked at herself in the mirror. This hairpin made her whole temperament more lively. She had never bought much jewelry when she was studying in the academy. She would attend Lu Jinse's birthday party in a few days, so she couldn't be too shabby.

"How much is this?" Even if you like it, you still have to see if your wallet agrees.

"You two young ladies look unfamiliar. I guess this is your first time to Diancui Tower. We have a rule in our building that new guests who come for the first time can get a 20% discount. This set of hairpins is 64 taels of silver after the discount." The maid kept a professional smile and gave the New Year's Eve poster the discounted price.

It’s OK, the price is acceptable, “Let’s take it, help me pack it up.”

"What about you? Do you have any favorites?" Nian Chuhua asked Jiang Ruixue

"I like that set, but it's too gorgeous. I have to wear formal clothes to show it off. I can't wear it out even if I buy it. Forget it!" Jiang Ruixue said, pointing to a set of orange-red coral tiaras in the cabinet on the right.

Jiang Ruixue had no shortage of jewelry. She would buy some when she had nothing to do while shopping, and her mother also bought her a lot, and she couldn't wear them all.

Looking along Jiang Ruixue's fingers at the beginning of the year, the painting was indeed very gorgeous. Not only did she have to dress up, but she also couldn't make any big movements after putting it on, otherwise the beads would probably get tangled together.

Nanny Du looked up at the set of jewelry that Jiang Ruixue pointed to and took note of it.

After leaving Diancui Tower, they passed by a restaurant. The foodie Nian Chuhua couldn't walk when he smelled the delicious food, so he pulled Jiang Ruixue in and ordered a few signature dishes.

Nianchuhua cordially invited Aunt Du to have dinner with her, which made Aunt Du feel very uneasy.

Seeing Mingyue and Hualing acting calm and at ease, Madam Du felt both terrified and touched. No servant had ever eaten at the same table with their master.

From this we can see that Jiang Ruixue and Nian Chuhua are both very kind people, and they are very tolerant and generous to their servants. Wouldn't it be a pity not to marry such good girls as the prince's consort?

After having lunch and taking a short rest, Chushouhua and the other two were full of energy again and were ready to go out and walk the remaining half of the street.

The shopping lasted until four or five in the afternoon. Everyone was tired and had bought a lot of things, so we got on the carriage and went home.

Several people returned to the prince's mansion. Chushunihua and the other two went back to the small courtyard where they lived and lay down directly on the couch. They didn't feel tired while walking around, but after taking a break, their legs felt like they were no longer their own.

But Nanny Du was waiting in front of the mansion gate, waiting for her Royal Highness the Prince to return.

Lu Mingcheng was given a pile of memorials by the king. After reviewing them all, his neck became stiff. He finally made it to the end of his get off work day and thought about going back to ask Yanqi to give him a good massage.

But who would have thought that just as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by Madam Du, "Oh, my prince, you are finally back."

"What's wrong, Madam?" Lu Mingcheng was totally confused. What happened made Madam so anxious?

"It's an important matter. Come out of the house with me quickly." Nanny Du pulled Lu Mingcheng and was about to go out.

"No, where are we going?" Lu Mingcheng was dragged forward by Madam Du.

"Diancui Tower"

"What are you going to do in Diancui Tower?"

"Buying jewelry, Your Highness, please hurry up. If you're late, they will be bought by others..." Nanny Du was very anxious.

"No, Mammy, why would I buy jewelry? What kind of jewelry do you like?"

"It's not me who likes her, it's your future prince consort who likes her." Nanny Du believed that Jiang Ruixue was her prince consort.

Lu Mingcheng was stunned. "My future princess? Who is she?"

Madam Du looked at Lu Mingcheng with a look of disappointment, "Of course it's Miss Jiang. Miss Nian is not bad either. Both of them are good girls."

"Wait..." Lu Mingcheng was a little confused. "Madam Du, don't say anything careless. Don't have any ideas about Miss Nian."

Madam Du was stunned. If she couldn't make plans for Miss Nian, then she could make plans for Miss Jiang.

"I have no intention of hitting on Miss Nian. I am targeting Miss Jiang. Hurry up. Miss Jiang has seen a set of jewelry in Diancui Tower. Your Highness, go buy it and give it to Miss Jiang."

Lu Mingcheng was dragged into the carriage by Madam Du and headed straight for Diancui Tower.

"Mammy, are you sure Miss Jiang likes that set of jewelry?" Lu Mingcheng wondered.

"I am sure that it was Miss Jiang who said it herself," said Madam Du in a firm tone.

"Then why didn't she buy it then?" Lu Mingcheng felt that Madam Du was cheating him.

"Miss Jiang felt that the jewelry was too gorgeous and inconvenient to wear out, so she didn't buy it." Nanny Du looked at Lu Mingcheng and saw that he and Jiang Ruixue were indeed a good match.

Lu Mingcheng felt a little uncomfortable under Madam Du's scrutiny, "Madam, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your Highness, please pay attention. Miss Jiang is such a good girl. If you miss her, where else can you find her? I am so anxious that my mouth is covered with blisters. You must marry Miss Jiang!" Madam Du persuaded her Highness earnestly.

"Madam, do you like Miss Jiang so much?" Lu Mingcheng was a little curious. This should be the first time that Madam Du met Jiang Ruixue, so why did she insist on him marrying her?

"That's right. Miss Jiang is such a good girl, beautiful and kind-hearted. Your Highness, please buy the jewelry back and then go and customize a set of clothes for Miss Jiang to match the jewelry." Nanny Du is almost an expert in love.

Arriving at Diancui Tower, Madam Du went straight to the second floor and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the set of jewelry was still there. "Your Highness has this set."

Lu Mingcheng looked at it and found that it was indeed a gorgeous piece of jewelry. It would require a set of gorgeous clothes to match it. No wonder Jiang Ruixue didn't buy it. She really couldn't wear it in ordinary occasions.

Lu Mingcheng called the maid and bought the set of jewelry. Madam Du went downstairs contentedly, walking with a breeze, as if Lu Mingcheng was going to marry Jiang Ruixue tomorrow.
