Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

"I don't think there are many! Leave them all."

Ai Shutong said calmly.

The clerk immediately flattered her with a smile on his face, "Miss, you have good taste. The jewelry in our store is the best of the best. When we learned that you were going to buy a trousseau, the shopkeeper specially picked out the best ones to send to you."

But I couldn't help but feel regretful in my heart. If I had known that the young lady of the Jin family was so generous, I should have brought more!

Liu Shun frowned and was about to say something when Ai Shutong quickly walked out of the hall.

Thinking of the master's specific instructions two days ago that he should take good care of her during this period, Liu Shun could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of his throat.

She waved her hand at Cailian who was looking at her eagerly, "Didn't you hear what the young lady said? Why don't you take the jewelry and follow?"

Cai Lian hurriedly knelt down to greet him, picked up the box of jewelry, and hurried out the door.

When we returned to Chunyi Pavilion, Ai Shutong had already sat down and was drinking tea.

"Cai Lian, put your jewelry on the table, go see what snacks are in the kitchen, and bring me a plate."

Cai Lian lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

She put down the jewelry box and walked out.

After a while, Ai Shutong put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the door. She looked around and saw no one.

He quickly returned to the table, folded the silk cloth in the box in the middle, tied a knot neatly, and put it in the space.

Then flip out the lid from the bottom of the empty box and close it.

Put it directly into the cabinet.

After thinking about it, it’s not safe.

He took out another copper lock and locked the cabinet with a "click".

Only then did Ai Shutong feel relieved.

Slowly walked to the table, sat down and continued drinking tea.

At lunch, Ai Shutong took advantage of Cailian and Shuangxi being there and said, "I have locked the jewelry sent by Lanting Gold Shop in the cabinet. Don't tell anyone else."

Then, he gave the two of them a meaningful look and said, "Otherwise, if it's lost, it won't be clear—"

Cailian and Shuangxi quickly promised that they would never tell anyone else.

November 4th, sunny.

Ai Shutong asked Jin Hengshu for a hundred yuan in the name of buying gifts for her classmates.

He turned around and was about to go out with Shuangxi.

"Take Kui Man with you. You can ask him to carry the things you buy. I'm not going to the Education Bureau today. Let Jin Cang drive you to the mall."

Ai Shutong was very obedient and followed whatever Jin Hengsu said.

"Okay, thank you, sir. I want to go to Mary's house first and pick her up to go to the mall together."

"She has good eyesight, so let her help me choose carefully. As a reward, I will treat her to lunch today, so she won't be back for lunch."

Jin Hengsu was eager for her to interact more with the ambassador's daughter, so he waved his hand and asked Liu Shun to give her another hundred dollars.

"Please have something good, Miss Mary, and don't be stingy!"

Ai Shutong smiled and replied, "Yes."

When we arrived at Mary's house, she was taking a Chinese class.

When she heard that Ai Shutong asked her to go shopping together, she immediately skipped her Chinese class.

Mary's Chinese teacher was a middle-aged man who was not even as tall as her. He patted the table seriously and said, "Our progress has been very slow recently. Miss Mary, it would be better for you to finish the class before going out to play."

Mary responded in Chinese, "You said before that real-life conversations can help me learn Chinese quickly."

"When Ai chats with me, isn't it a real situational dialogue?"

These two sentences made her speak fluently and confidently.

Perhaps she had run out of Chinese words in her mind, so she said in English, "You are blocking me and Ai from going out, which is a heinous crime!"

The short middle-aged man didn't dare to really use the whip in his hand to whip Sir John's daughter, so he could only grit his teeth and glare at Ai Shutong, the culprit.

This kind of visual attack was nothing more than a drizzle to the battle-hardened Ai Shutong.

Ai Shutong didn't even look at him and went downstairs with Mary.

Walking down the stairwell, Ai Shutong chatted, "Is Allen busy lately? Why haven't I run into him?"

Mary pouted unhappily, "He has a new girlfriend and hasn't been out with me for a long time."

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "What a guy who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty!"

Mary snorted twice in anger.

Ai Shutong suggested: "Why not give him a call and ask him to come and carry our bags for us!"

Mary agreed with both hands, "Great! Great! He has always claimed to be a gentleman, and the job of carrying bags is perfect for him."

"Da da da"

Mary trotted downstairs, picked up the lobby phone, and dialed.

Reedex & Co., general manager's office on the second floor.

Alan was looking at the latest sales data when the phone on the desk rang and he picked it up.

"Riders, who is this?"

After listening to the phone for a while, he laughed out loud, "Okay! Mary! I was wrong."

He looked at the data sheet in his hand again before putting it in the drawer. "Okay, I'll treat you at noon today."

Putting down the phone, he pressed a button on the corner of the table.

After a while, a handsome young man in a suit and tie came in. "What do you want?"

Allen: "I have to go out for something. I may be back in the afternoon, or I may not."

"Find the list of goods you sent to the head office last time. I'll use it when I get back."

After saying that, he picked up the coat on the hanger and walked out of the office.

When he arrived at Wangfujing Street, Mary and Ai Shutong had already bought a lot of small things at Dong'an Market.

Ai Shutong said, "Let's find a place to rest and eat something."

After Mary agreed, Alan began to look for a place consciously.

There are many shops here, of all kinds, selling all kinds of food and drinks.

It’s dazzling to see.

Alan had no choice but to ask, "What do you want to eat?"

Ai Shutong said to Mary, "There are many Chinese specialties here, and of course there are Western restaurants. Do you want Chinese or Western food?"

Mary looked around and was overwhelmed with decision-making.

"They all want to eat."

Alan shook his head helplessly, "It looks like I'm going to bleed a lot today."

Ai Shutong smiled and said, "Alan is familiar with Western food, please treat us to some."

"I'm familiar with Chinese food. Can I treat you to some Chinese food?"

Mary clapped her hands and said, "Good."

Alan escorted them through the crowd, and soon they entered a Western restaurant called "Jishilin".

Ai Shutong directly drove Kuiman and Jincang to "Donglaishun".

"Western food is expensive, so I won't treat you two. You can go to Donglaishun and reserve a good table for us. We'll go over and eat later."

Kuiman and Jincang nodded, and before leaving, they instructed Shuangxi to serve the young lady well.

After Shuangxi nodded, the two turned around and left.

Ai Shutong ignored Shuangxi who was standing aside and started communicating with Mary and Allen in English.

After the bread, pork chops, sausages and wine arrived.

Ai Shutong then revealed the purpose of this trip.
