Grocery Store Connects Past and Present: The Prince I Raised Ascended the Throne

After a failed entrepreneurial venture, Sang Jueqian inherited her grandfather's grocery store, only to discover that the store's window led to ancient times!

On the first day of open...

Chapter 11 There is indeed a wall between ordinary people and princes!

Sang Jueqian originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard Li Junyan say that he was sending these things on behalf of the people of Tingzhou, he hesitated for a moment and finally accepted them.

Seeing Sang Jueqian nodded, Li Junyan said to Xu San, "Go and bring the things in."

"yes!"

A moment later, Xu San and Lin Qi walked in one after another.

In Xu San's arms was an exquisitely carved wooden dressing box with five layers.

In Lin Qi's hand was a large tray with a lot of fabrics stacked on it, the colors were light and fresh.

Although the cloth was not fully unfolded, one could still see various patterns embroidered on it. As Lin Qi walked, those patterns flashed in the room, appearing dazzling and colorful, making it impossible to look away.

Li Junyan took the dressing box and tray and placed them on the window frame.

His hand couldn't get through the window, but the object could.

Pushing forward along the window frame, both things were pushed onto the conveyor.

Sang Jueqian had seen such a dressing box many times in costume dramas, but this was the first time he saw it in person, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"Can I open it and take a look?" Sang Jueqian asked Li Junyan.

Li Junyan had a gentle smile on his face. "These things have been given to you, young lady. They belong to you, so of course you can open them and take a look."

Sang Jueqian nodded slightly and pulled out the first drawer.

The moment the drawer was pulled out, Sang Jueqian only saw a flash of golden light before his eyes.

Looking closely, I saw that the drawer was filled with gold bracelets, gold rings, and gold chains, dozens of them in total.

Sang Jueqian's hands and heart trembled together, "What are the next few layers?"

Li Junyan's smile remained unchanged as he gently said, "I don't know either. Miss, open it and let's take a look together."

Sang Jueqian took a deep breath and then pulled out the second drawer.

This layer is still filled with gold ornaments, including gold hairpins, step-shaking ornaments, and gold combs.

This comb is relatively small and is not used for combing hair, but is used to be inserted into the head as decoration.

The comb is made of pure gold and feels heavy in the hand.

If I wear this on my head, whether it makes me feel tired or not is secondary. What if someone steals it?

Sang Jueqian thought to himself while pulling out the third drawer. This time there was no gold inside, but a color of deep and light green.

Green hairpins, green jade pendants, green imperial concubine bracelets, jingle bracelets, as well as rings and bracelets.

Even though Sang Jueqian had no knowledge of jade, he could tell that these jade ornaments were definitely not cheap.

After taking a deep breath, Sang Jueqian pulled out the drawer on the fourth layer.

The fourth layer is also a jade ornament, half of which is a dreamy purple and the other half is a delicate red.

After staring at the fourth layer for a long time, Sang Jueqian finally opened the drawer of the fifth layer.

The fifth layer is a lustrous white because it is filled with pearls.

The largest pearl is about the size of a pigeon egg, and the smallest is the size of a rice bead.

No matter big or small, each pearl is very round and shiny, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Pearls of different sizes were placed in different boxes, all individually and not strung together.

Does this allow her to string them together however she wants?

Sang Jueqian took a deep breath and looked at Li Junyan in disbelief, "Are these the little gifts you mentioned?"

Li Junyan nodded seriously, "Yes, they are all small things. Although they are not particularly exquisite, they can be worn for fun for now."

Xu Sansheng was afraid of being scolded, so he quickly explained, "Your Highness, time is tight, this is only the first batch, and I'm still having people buy more. The quality will only be better than this."

"Yeah." Li Junyan responded calmly, "Let them hurry up."

Sang Jueqian: Hurry up? Hurry up what? This box of stuff is already priceless, what else is there?

Even though she was a layman who knew nothing, she could still see that these things were worth a lot of money. However, in Li Junyan's words, these were just some small gadgets of decent quality.

There is indeed a wall between ordinary people and princes!

Sang Jueqian looked serious and decided to have a good talk with Li Junyan.

But Li Junyan spoke before her.

"I know what the girl wants to say. She must be saying that these things are very valuable and you are unwilling to accept them.

I don’t deny the value of these things, but what the girl gave us is also very expensive.

Tingzhou was suffering from a severe drought, with no water or food. Countless people were killed or injured every day. No matter how gorgeous these jewels were, they could not save the lives of the people.

The girl gave us rice, flour and water, racked her brains to help us install a solar generator, and helped us dig a deep well to get water. No matter which one, it was a great favor.

Neither the gold cakes nor the jewels can compare to the great kindness you have shown us. Please accept them, you will not be in any way worthy of them."

Although Xu San and Lin Qi couldn't see Sang Jueqian, they both bowed towards the window and said, "Please accept this, young lady. Otherwise, we will be uneasy, and the people of Tingzhou will be uneasy too."

Looking at the three of them, Sang Jueqian sighed silently, "Okay, I'll take it."

I won’t be so pretentious anymore.

What they give to each other are things that they don’t care much about, but they are what the other party needs. There is really no need to be too pretentious.

Sang Jueqian pushed back the drawers of the dressing box and placed the box in the cabinet under the counter.

It's not safe to keep so many valuable jewelry upstairs or here. When I go out in the afternoon, I have to buy a safe.

While thinking this in his mind, Sang Jueqian's eyes fell on the fabrics.

When he got closer, Sang Jueqian discovered that the patterns embroidered on these materials were actually mixed with extremely fine gold and silver threads. No wonder they could shine so brightly even indoors.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is a dynasty that did not exist in history, the silk brought from there should be considered antiques, right?

Would it be too extravagant to cut up antiques and wear them?

Seeing that Sang Jueqian was staring at the fabric with a frown on his face, Li Junyan's expression also became serious.

After thinking carefully, Li Junyan had a guess in his mind, "Miss, are you worried about how to make clothes? Miss, you can measure your own size, and I will ask them to find the best embroiderer to make clothes for you."

Wearing ancient costumes made by ancient people made Sang Jueqian feel a little moved.

Sang Jueqian's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a solution. "The prince told the embroiderer to make some clothes for me. I can pay her separately and ask her if she wants rice, flour, grain, oil, or anything else."

Although they had only known each other for two days, Li Junyan already had a certain understanding of Sang Jueqian's personality and way of dealing with things.

Hearing Sang Jueqian's words, Li Junyan agreed without any hesitation, "Okay. Xu San, find the embroiderer."
