After lunch, Su Jingning leaned on the couch and read a military book. The hem of her smoky blue silk skirt was embroidered with large crabapple flowers, which made her look delicate and elegant. Her black hair was half-tied up and hung lightly behind her, making her look gentle and noble.

"Miss, the fourth miss, the fifth miss and the sixth miss are here." Yun Qing came in to report.

"Let them in quickly and bring the snacks I brought back yesterday. Xiaowan likes them." Su Jingning put down the book with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes"

"Second sister!" Su Luowan's cheerful and clear voice came. She rushed into the warm room. Su Luoting and Su Luoshu were a step slower and followed her.

"Why are you here?" Su Jingning asked curiously, looking at the three people he hadn't seen for a few days.

"Second sister's injury is better now." Su Luoting looked at Su Jingning's hand and asked softly.

"Much better. I'm fine now." Su Jingning shook his hand and replied with a smile.

"These are the new snacks from Fengting Tower. You can try them." He said to them when he saw Yun Qing bringing in a few plates of snacks.

"Wow, the new snacks from Fengtinglou are hard to get these days, but my second sister has so many of them." Su Luoshu said in surprise.

"Then you guys try it!" Su Jingning smiled and handed a piece of plum blossom pastry to Su Luowan. He said to them.

After eating snacks, Su Luowan’s eyes rolled.

"Second sister, let's go out for a walk today. It's almost the New Year, Shenwu Street must be very lively." Su Luowan looked at Su Jingning with surprise, her big eyes full of expectation. Because her second sister was injured, her mother punished her to study at home, and she hasn't been out for a long time.

"By the way, my mother just told me today that her shop on Shenwu Street has a lot of new jewelry and ready-made clothes. She asked us to pick out whatever we like. How about we go there?" Su Luoshu said to Su Jingning.

"I think it's a good idea too. The weather is good today and it's not snowing. It should be fine if Second Sister wears something thicker." Su Luoting also said in a gentle voice.

"Okay, we sisters haven't gone out together for a long time." Su Jingning smiled softly. If the sisters want to go, I will accompany them.

Shenwu Street is the busiest street in the imperial capital. It is a wide east-west street lined with shops and markets. The streets are filled with a dazzling array of things and gadgets. The noise is endless, and the place is bustling and lively.

The carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion slowly stopped at Yunmiao Pavilion.

Yunmiao Pavilion was the dowry property of Liu, the third wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Yunmiao Pavilion only sold women's ready-made clothes and jewelry. The silk used for the ready-made clothes was the best in the imperial capital. The styles were novel and elegant, and were very popular among the noble ladies in the imperial capital. The jewelry was also exquisitely designed, not inferior to the palace craftsmanship.

Whenever Yunmiao Pavilion releases new models, the Third Madam will not leave out the ladies and girls of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Everyone will have one. In the past, if they didn't want to choose by themselves, she would send someone to deliver it to each of them.

However, the sisters did not seem to be very interested in attending the banquet, and many of the jewelry and clothes had never been worn.

"Miss." As soon as they got off the car, the maid of Yunmiao Pavilion saw Su Luoshu and hurried forward to greet her. Su Luoshu occasionally helped the third wife manage Yunmiao Pavilion, so everyone in Yunmiao Pavilion knew her.

Su Luoting and Su Luowan had been here several times, but this was Su Jingning's first time.

Yunmiao Pavilion is exquisitely designed. The first floor is full of exquisite ready-made clothes, which are very eye-catching. The jewelry is on the second floor. The store is fragrant and very elegant.

Yunmiao Pavilion is doing good business, and many ladies are choosing clothes in the pavilion.

"Mother said that there are new models in the store. Let's take a look." Su Luoshu said gently.

"Miss, please come this way." The maid bowed her head and led them to the elegant pavilion on the other side, where the new models of Yunmiao Pavilion were displayed. There were several ladies in luxurious clothes gathered inside.

"You don't have to stay here, let us choose by ourselves." Su Luoshu smiled and asked the maid to go down.

"Second sister, second sister, pick out the ones you like and I'll ask them to pack them for you." Su Luoshu happily pulled Su Jingning

"I don't need any. Third Aunt gave me two sets of clothes not long ago, and I haven't had time to wear them yet. Go pick some for your fourth sister and Xiao Wan." Su Jingning smiled. She had too many clothes, and she didn't have time to wear many of them.

"Then, Second Sister, go to the second floor to look at the jewelry. I heard that there are several new sets of jewelry in the pavilion, all of which are very good. I will accompany Second Sister to pick some." Su Luowan saw that Su Jingning was not interested in clothes, so she wanted to pick some jewelry for her. Second Sister was very beautiful, but she didn't like wearing jewelry.

"It's okay, I'll go by myself. Xiaowan is calling you, go quickly." Looking at Su Luowan waving at them from a distance, she pushed Su Luoshu over there.

"Okay then, second sister, go upstairs first, we'll come find you later." Su Luoshu had no choice but to go to Su Luowan first.

Su Jingning went up to the second floor alone. The second floor of Yunmiao Pavilion was filled with all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous jewelry, divided into three layouts. Each compartment had a painting of a plant.

The Peony Pavilion is elegant and graceful. The Lotus Pavilion is elegant and exquisite. The Orchid and Bamboo Pavilion is cool and unique.

Each type of jewelry is unique, exquisite and dazzling.

As expected of Third Aunt, she comes from a wealthy family. The decoration is very extraordinary. No wonder Yunmiao Pavilion is so popular among the wealthy ladies in the capital.

Su Jingning walked and stopped, carefully observing, and finally stopped in front of a blue jade bracelet in Lanzhu Pavilion. The crystal clear jade bracelet was stained with a few wisps of smoke, like blue and green, very unique. When she saw this jade bracelet, she thought of someone. She remembered that her elder sister liked to collect jade bracelets the most, and this bracelet was very suitable for her.

"Please wrap her up for me." Su Jingning said gently to the maid beside her.

As soon as she finished speaking, a proud and domineering female voice sounded from behind her.

"I want this bracelet. Please wrap it up and send it to the mansion of Duke Qing."

Su Jingning turned around to see who it was. The woman was wearing a goose yellow brocade dress. She had beautiful eyes, a delicate face, and was lively and proud.

Shen Zhiyi, the youngest daughter of Duke Qing. She is the niece of Concubine Shu, and has been spoiled since childhood. She has an arrogant and domineering personality, and is somewhat like the style of the Duke Qing's mansion that bullies the weak. There is also a man standing behind her. The man is wearing a dark green robe with a gold cloud pattern. He is dignified, tall and handsome. He is the Prince Mu Heng who was assassinated not long ago.

The women around him were blushing and shyly glancing at him.

Su Jingning glanced at them, then turned around and whispered to the embarrassed maid, "Please pack it for me, I'll come get it later." Then he wanted to turn around and continue looking around.

The maid responded and picked up the bracelet and tried to wrap it up.

"I've already said that I want this bracelet. Please pick another one, young lady." Shen Zhiyi pointed at Su Jingning and ordered arrogantly.

"Looking at the girl's exquisite clothes, I think she must have been educated and can read." Su Jingning raised his head, looked at Shen Zhiyi with cold eyes, and said in a gentle voice.

"Of course." Shen Zhiyi raised her head proudly and looked at Su Jingning with disdain. She looked unfamiliar, dressed simply, and had only a few hairpins on her head. It was unclear whether she was the girl from that small family.

Su Jingning had a noble and elegant temperament. She smiled slowly at Shen Zhiyi. The Prince Chen behind her was amazed when he saw Su Jingning. This girl was bright and delicate, but she had a cold and noble temperament like an orchid, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.

"That girl should know the principle of first come first served." Su Jingning noticed the look in Prince Chen's eyes and felt a little displeased. He frowned slightly and said to Shen Zhiyi.

"You! Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that?" Shen Zhiyi was choked by Su Jingning and wanted to threaten her.

"So what if I know? So what if I don't know?" Su Jingning was annoyed and didn't want to bother with them.

"I am Shen Zhiyi from the Duke of Qing's Mansion. How dare I take advantage of something that this young lady likes! You are dressed so poorly. Can you afford this bracelet from Yunmiao Pavilion?" Shen Zhiyi looked at Su Jingning with even more disgust. Seeing that there was no maid behind her, he was even more certain that she couldn't afford it.

"Someone, come here, how much is this bracelet? I want to buy it." After saying that, she looked at Su Jingning with disdain.

The people around saw someone bumping into the arrogant Shen Jiazhiyi and all watched the fun from the side.

Su Jingning's red lips curled slightly, her beautiful eyes were cold, and she looked at Shen Zhiyi coldly. Want to snatch the things you like from her? Dream on!
