Never casually save a man. If you are dazzlingly beautiful, then even more so, lest you be coveted and unable to escape.
Nan Qianyue saved not just one, but three; saving them both physically...
Having made her decision to move south, she knew she had her own plans. Since it was a gift, she naturally wanted to cater to the recipient's preferences.
It's just a gift. If it affects his academic path, it only shows that he's not cut out for it.
If someone is truly promising, it wouldn't be a bad thing for them to excel in both literary and martial arts.
"How much silver do I have here?" Nanqianyue asked, because it's hard to get things done without money.
The woman in green answered quickly, "Miss, I still have five hundred taels."
"How come there are so many?" Nan Qianyue was very surprised.
The woman in green smiled and said, "Miss, you don't know this, but since you came back two years ago, your monthly allowance has never stopped. In addition to the red envelopes from the Prime Minister and his wife, it's more than five hundred taels."
"You're still getting paid even when I'm not around?"
Nanqianyue's eyes lit up. She had never lacked money since she was a child and had no concept of money, so she never experienced the joy of acquiring money.
But now I realize that the process of going from having no money to having money can be so enjoyable.
Seeing the young lady happy, the man in green smiled even more. "Yes, young lady, the Madam and the Prime Minister dote on you very much."
Nanqian Yue nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go, take the money and go out for a stroll."
"Miss, Madam wants you to rest well and not go out these days." The woman in green seemed a little embarrassed.
Without hesitation, Nanqian Yue got up and walked out of the courtyard. "Mother's suggestion was just that, not a house arrest. How can I buy gifts if I don't go out?"
——
An elegant carriage slowly made its way through the streets, while the sounds of excitement outside drifted in.
"Have you heard? Xingtian Auction House has acquired another batch of good items!"
"I know, and the auction is scheduled for today; many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are attending!"
"Alas, it's a pity that I come from a poor background; I don't even have the right to go in and watch the excitement."
Inside the carriage, Nanqianyue became interested. She looked at the woman in green with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Xingtian Auction House, is it very powerful?"
Upon hearing these words, the woman in green revealed a hint of admiration. "Miss, you may not know this, but the Starry Sky Auction House is renowned far and wide. It not only attracts the dignitaries of Dongling, but also the nobles from Nanjing and Xiqiu who come here to witness its splendor."
"That's amazing, let's go take a look." Anyway, it's still early, even if we just look and don't buy anything, it's fine to just feast our eyes.
"Good girl!"
Green-clad couldn't hide her excitement. She had followed the southward migration for several months, and her personality was inevitably affected. Her soul, which had been bound by rules and etiquette, was gradually being liberated.
Just by looking at the magnificent gate of Xingtian Auction House, one can imagine how grand it must be inside.
Green-clad men helped Nanqian Yue put on a veil and then helped her down from the carriage, followed by four cold-faced guards.
The gatekeepers at Xingtian Auction House were all very perceptive. They could tell from the woman's splendid silk robes that she was of extraordinary status. They also glanced at the insignia on the sleeve armor of the guards behind her and were immediately taken aback.
This is actually the daughter of the Prime Minister's family!
"Hurry up and greet our distinguished guests!" the gatekeeper shouted inside, and immediately a servant came running over, bowing and scraping.
"Please, sir!"
Nan Qianyue nodded and, led by Xiao Si, stepped through three doors before entering the hall.
"Sir, would you like to reserve a private room on the east side or the west side? The north side is full, but we still have rooms B and C left on the east side, and rooms C and D left on the west side."
Xiao Ston observed the noblewoman's reaction, but unfortunately, she was wearing a veil and his eyes couldn't see her expression. However, the noblewoman didn't speak. Was she dissatisfied?
Xiao Si's eyes darted around, and he quickly explained, "My lord, the gold, silver, and bronze shops have already been reserved by other esteemed guests today. You'll just have to make do..."
"No need." Nan Qianyue didn't listen carefully to what Xiao Si was saying; she was observing the layout of the hall.
In conclusion, aside from the exorbitantly priced private rooms, the side of the main hall is also an excellent spot for enjoying the view.
Why waste money?
She looked at Xiao Si and said, "Now that the gold, silver, and bronze have been decided, I can just look at them in the hall."
Xiao Si was stunned for a moment. Although the private rooms on the east and west sides could not compare to the gold, silver and bronze ones, they were still more impressive than the main hall. Which noble person would be willing to lower themselves to sit in the main hall with ordinary people?
In fact, those who can enter the Starry Sky Auction House cannot be considered ordinary people. Xiao Si couldn't figure out the thoughts of the Prime Minister's daughter. Given the Prime Minister's status, how could his family members be willing to show their faces in public?
The commotion here was naturally observed by the private rooms upstairs.
The auction had not yet begun, and the dignitaries were mostly drinking tea or chatting indoors, with only their servants keeping a close eye on the situation.
On the viewing platform of the premium private room, Qingyi frowned.
Isn't that Miss Nan? Why is she sitting in the hall?
He hurried inside. "Your Highness, Miss Nan is downstairs."
Qin Yi paused in his tea-drinking motion. It seemed that it was time to replace those guards; they were already here, but the news hadn't arrived yet.
"Go and invite her up," he ordered casually.
The man in green clasped his hands and said, "Yes."
“Wait a minute,” Qin Yi raised his eyes, knowing she was not easy to talk to, “Just say that the mastermind behind that group of bandits has been found out.”
"...Yes." It's not easy for the prince; he needs a reason to invite people.
In the private room of the Silver Shop, the servant noticed a graceful woman suddenly appear downstairs and couldn't help but stare at her for a while. His gaze then shifted to the four guards standing behind her, and he immediately understood what was going on.
A servant rushed into the room and bowed to the two masters sitting on the carved pear wood chairs. "Your Highness, Second Prince, the young lady from the Prime Minister's residence has also arrived and is downstairs."
Upon hearing this, a shadow fell over the richly dressed woman's eyes, and a dark light flickered within them.
The man in the brocade robe beside him remained calm; he had yet to see the true face of the Southern Prime Minister's daughter.
