Chapter 155: Buying Cakes and Encountering a Thief
Yuan Qianqian followed the path pointed by the guard and walked towards the center of the provincial capital. The post station was very large and was surrounded by guards.
It's quiet and safe here, with almost no other people around.
Facing the setting sun, walking on the bluestone tiles that are illuminated into orange-red.
Occasionally a breeze blew, picking up her flying hair, entwining and tickling her face, causing a slight itch. She used her slender white fingers to tuck the messy hair behind her ears.
But soon, the hair was messed up again by the breeze.
She simply stopped moving and let her hair fly around her face.
Yuan Qianqian tilted her head slightly, took a deep breath, and had a faint smile on her face.
She felt the taste of freedom and longed for it.
If only I could always be free like this.
It took about a quarter of an hour.
There were gradually more and more roadside vendors and pedestrians.
"Girl, do you want to see the hairpin?"
"Girl, the sugar figures here are delicious, buy one!"
"Girl, I have a new handkerchief here, take a look!"
"..."
Every time I pass by a stall, I get a warm greeting.
Other pedestrians have become accustomed to it and basically just ignore it and walk past.
It was the first time that Yuan Qianqian was treated so warmly. Seeing the genuine smiles on the vendors' faces, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and her sad thoughts disappeared along with their smiles.
The happiness of these people is simple!
As long as someone buys their things and they can earn money, they are happy.
In order to prevent the people of Da Shang from seeing that she was an unfavored princess, her father prepared a lot of dowry for her, and she now had some silver in her hands.
She bought candied haws and candied figurines.
The sweet taste melts directly in my heart.
The hairpins sold at the stalls here are of novel designs and good workmanship, and they don’t attract attention when worn.
Xi Qiu had been suffering since she was a child. Other maids had hairpins and bracelets given by their masters, but Xi Qiu didn't have any jewelry.
She picked out two simple silver hairpins and two pairs of head flowers for Xi Qiu.
"Auntie, here's some silver for you." She handed the silver to the woman selling hairpins, and the woman happily accepted it.
"Auntie, I want to ask where can I buy snacks here?"
The woman smiled and said, "Girl, is this your first time here?"
Yuan Qianqian was surprised and asked, "How did you know that, Auntie?"
"The girl's accent doesn't sound like she's from Wanzhou."
The woman smiled brightly.
"You've asked the right person. I've been setting up stalls in Wanzhou City since I was a child. I'm very familiar with all the delicious and fun things to do."
As she spoke, she pointed, "Go west, there is a shop called Chen's Pastry Shop over there, it's the best pastry shop in Wanzhou City."
"If you don't mind the distance, there's a branch of Chen's Bakery in the Fuyun Shopping Center on the far west side. They sell clothes, fabrics, jewelry, food, and so on. You can go take a look."
The woman was very enthusiastic and introduced a lot of things to Yuan Qianqian.
Yuan Qianqian had heard of the shopping mall.
She knew that Da Shang had built a Fuyun Shopping Mall in the capital, and in the past two years, it had built many more in other state capitals.
She wanted to go and take a look, but there was not enough time today.
"Thank you, ma'am."
After thanking the woman, she ran to Chen's Pastry Shop in the west.
Along the way, she did not forget to look at the streets.
I heard that the queen of the Shang Dynasty built a charity house and took in all the beggars. Now there are really no beggars on the street.
What an amazing woman.
If only I were as capable as she is.
Not far away, three men with shifty eyes exchanged glances with each other, and one of them nodded and walked towards the crowd.
"what!"
Yuan Qianqian was almost knocked down by someone.
"I'm sorry, girl. I was in a hurry and bumped into you by accident. I'm so sorry..."
The man who bumped into her kept apologizing with a serious and anxious look, so she was too embarrassed to say anything.
She just got bumped on the arm, nothing serious.
"It's okay. No matter how urgent the situation is, you have to watch the road."
"Thank you girl, thank you girl."
The man lowered his head, a smile flashed across his lips, and he turned and ran away.
He hid in the crowd and handed the embroidered purse to another person.
Not far away, Ruan Ning'an and Mu Dong saw all of this.
Ruan Ning'an looked at the thin figure who seemed to be unaware of anything and said softly, "Mu Dong, take back the girl's purse."
"Yes, son."
Mu Dong strode away in the direction where the three people left.
The three men separated and walked to an empty alley, opened their purses, and burst out laughing.
"There's a silver note for one hundred taels, twenty taels of silver, and ten taels of silver change. Hahahahaha... we've got it, we've got it..."
"Hurry up and divide the money. After that, we can try our luck. I don't believe our luck will be bad tonight."
"Yes, yes, yes, divide it immediately, and then we will go..."
"..."
These people were gamblers. They had just lost all their money in the gambling house and saw Yuan Qianqian when they came out.
Although she was dressed simply and plainly, with only a plain hairpin on her head.
But with that kind of temperament and appearance, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
Maybe it was a young lady from some family who secretly ran out to play. A young lady who is kept in seclusion is the easiest to deceive.
Sure enough, they saw her take out a bulging purse.
They didn't expect there would be so much silver.
When several people were about to divide the money, their purses were suddenly taken away.
Mu Dong took the purse and dropped it lightly to the ground.
He moved so fast that they didn't have time to react. They were stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.
Turning around and looking at Mu Dong holding the purse, his face suddenly became ugly.
One of them said viciously: "What are you doing? Return our purses to us."
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
"I want to try to be rude. Besides..." Mu Dong shook the purse in his hand and shot a cold gaze at the few people, "Is this your purse?"
The aura that he had been nurtured with in the Ruan Mansion since childhood was not something that ordinary people could compare to. Several of them suddenly felt weak and a little scared.
But today I finally met a fool, a stolen purse, and so much silver, I can't give it up.
"Of course it's ours. If it's not ours, who else could it belong to?" Even though he was scared, the man pretended to be very powerful. He gritted his teeth and threatened, "Give it back quickly, or I'll report it to the police."
"Just go and report to the authorities, and I'll take the money."
Mu Dong put away his purse and turned away.
Several people looked at each other and rushed over to snatch the purse.
boom!
Before they got close, the bodies of several people flew out in an arc, hit the wall, and slid down again.
“Ah! It hurts~”
“It hurts… it hurts…”
Mu Dong originally didn't want to take action, but he didn't expect them to be so tactless.
They brought this upon themselves.
