"Mom, if you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you, but there's no need to go to the market, right?"

Zhou Luming followed the instructions and put on the worst clothes, but he was still much taller than the ordinary people in the market.

When she received the invitation, she was chatting about yesterday's gossip with her third brother, and the two of them accompanied Jiang Shuyue out together.

Zhou Sesheng also said worriedly: "Mother, there are many people in the market, all kinds of people, just let the servants buy what you want, why come out in person."

"Because it's fun! When I was out, I suddenly thought of making something fermented, so I wanted to buy some ingredients to give it a try."

"Boss, how much are these rotten vegetable leaves? I want them all. Give me a discount."

The vegetable vendor picked up some rotten leaves and yellow vegetables that looked unsightly and threw them aside. He had originally intended to let the uncle who feeds the pigs take them away, but he didn't expect that someone would want them.

"Two cents. If you want it, take it away."

"Okay, I want these ones that are about to go bad too. Xiao Tao, give me the money."

Huahua: [You can take it for free, why do you have to pay? ]

Jiang Shuyue: [Because I want to experience the joy of spending money! The Marquis' Mansion has everything you need, it's really boring, and I don't even have anywhere to spend my pocket money, it's so frustrating.]

Zhou Luming and Zhou Sesheng didn't know that their mother had this worry.

However, the way she spends money is indeed hard to agree with.

Huahua disagreed: "I won't stop you from cooking, but there's no need to buy crappy food."

That’s right, the Marquis’ Mansion only buys blue cabbage leaves. It would be so devalued if it got out!

Both the Zhou siblings were embarrassed to look directly at the vegetable leaves.

Jiang Shuyue confidently blamed the system: [Huahua, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've been a little bit arrogant since arriving at the Marquis' Mansion!]

"Have you forgotten the hard times we had when we first arrived? We're going to cook for Mei Yunqi, and he deserves good food. Besides, who can tell what it was like after fermentation? Anyway, it doesn't matter if the ingredients are a little inferior for him."

Huahua suddenly felt that it made sense.

This approach saves money and achieves the goal. How come its host is so smart?

Jiang Shuyue taught: [So, even if we are rich, we can't be arrogant. We should save when we should and not waste money.]

Isn’t this what people often say, spend money where it counts?

Daddy always said that as a member of the Marquisate, as long as you don't plot rebellion or regicide, you don't have to worry about anything else and you can have whatever you want.

For the first time, they learned something different from their elders.

It’s really better to have mother around.

"How dare you, peasants, look down on me? I tell you, it's an honor for you to be willing to buy on credit. You'd better send the goods over, otherwise, when I become the most powerful official, I will definitely make you pay!"

There was a chattering of people in front, and Jiang Shuyue, in line with the principle of enjoying the fun, trotted over to join the crowd.

Lan Ruoyue pointed at the porters with a proud look on her face and cursed, "I'll give you one more chance. Deliver the stones to the city gate obediently. You can't afford to delay things!"

Jiang Shuyue: [What's going on? Is there a melon? Why didn't you warn me?]

Huahua: [Because the melon is too small to be worth mentioning, doesn't she have money to buy the stone? She wanted to go to the Second Prince's bank to get silver, but the Second Prince has been having troubles lately, and she lost her token of love, so the bank didn't give her the money.]

Zhou Luming and Zhou Sesheng knew about this.

When they went to pray, the queen hastily arranged a marriage for the second prince, but the other party did not appreciate it and she also offended the Minister of Rites inadvertently.

The Minister of Rites was upset when he saw that his beloved daughter was being bullied, so he revealed the Second Prince's private accounts.

The Second Prince is now extremely preoccupied and has no time to care about Lan Ruoyue's affairs.

Lan Ruoyue continued to curse: "Are you deaf? Low-class people are low-class people. Seeing you like this is really disgusting."

The porters didn't want to make things difficult for the little girl.

But she became more and more excessive, and the porters could no longer bear it.

The older one immediately stood up and cursed, "You little bitch, how unreasonable! Three cents a load is the market price, and it's the same everywhere. Not only did you bargain it down to two cents, but you also want to buy on credit, and you're not sure when you'll get paid. Who do you think you are? Queen Mother, whatever you say is yours!"

"Why do you have such a big face?"

The onlookers were also pointing and making Lan Ruoyue jump up and down in anger: "I'm doing a good deed for the country and the people, and it's something that brings honor to our family. Not only did you take the money, but you also refused to do it. Are you so short-sighted?"

Jiang Shuyue was speechless: [Oh, so if you don’t have money, you’re using moral kidnapping. Have modern people watched too many videos and memorized this kind of rhetoric?]

Huahua: [This is just a personal idiocy, please don't escalate it to a group, okay? Lan Ruoyue is already quite arrogant. Last night, she went to the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial capital, but because she had no money to pay, she pawned the jade pendant given to her by the Second Prince.]

[That was the token of the Second Prince's meeting with her. Lan Ruoyue felt it was okay to leave it there; she could redeem it once she got the money.]

[But the boss didn't know, he just thought it was a high-end item. He tricked Lan Ruoyue into thinking the jade was worth a thousand taels, which would allow her to live in the Tianzi Room for a month with good food and drink. Then he bought the jade pendant for twenty thousand taels overnight.]

She lost her token, couldn't get money from the bank, and couldn't find the Second Prince, yet she still thought she was so awesome, that's why she was so stupid.

[This little melon is boring. I'm too lazy to eat it.]

Jiang Shuyue found it amusing: [After being with the overbearing CEO for so many years, she couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad jade. What on earth was she doing all those years?]

Huahua thought for a moment and said seriously, "Maybe I'm busy establishing my image as a self-reliant heroine who never relies on men..."

Zhou Sesheng was young and couldn't help laughing.

Lan Ruoyue was already annoyed. When she heard someone laughing at her, she immediately turned around to scold, but then she saw Jiang Shuyue standing there in simple clothes, and she laughed on the spot.

"So you're the Marquis' wife? Yesterday you were wearing something incredibly expensive, but why are you so plain today? Were you pretending before? Was it just to show others that you're living well in the Marquis' mansion?"

"My Lord, you are such a fool. You only know how to put on a show and you're putting Sister Jiang through such hardship."

Huahua: [Congratulations to the host, your Green Tea Value has increased by 20 percentage points!]

Jiang Shuyue smiled. Haha, a younger sister left just as an older sister came. She even hinted in the street that her man was hypocritical. It really... made her very excited!

The two juniors wanted to get angry, but Jiang Shuyue stepped forward first, tucking her hair behind her ears and pretending to be pitiful.

"Yes, this dress is indeed not very good. Although it is worth one hundred taels, the workmanship is too poor. It is not worth it!"

"When I get back, I'll tell the Marquis to find a new tailor. This guy is no longer wanted."

Lan Ruoyue was shocked: "What? This dress costs one hundred taels? It's not silk, how can it be so?"

System: "It's certainly not silk, but it's high-quality stuff. One hundred taels is even after a discount!"

Lan Ruoyue thought of her one hundred taels again and was so angry that she wanted to strangle someone.
