Since we're staying here for a few more days, we need to arrange meals.
Shen Qingyu went out to buy groceries.
Not far from Xinghua Lane is the market.
As expected of the capital city, it has all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and there are also places to buy seeds.
They also sell bean sprouts here, but the quality is much worse than the ones I sprout myself using the spiritual spring water.
Shen Qingyu picked out some of the various types of seeds that were not available in the space and bought them.
I also picked out some fruits and vegetables from the space and bought some, then casually put them into the basket (space) on my back, replacing them with the fruits and vegetables I grew in my own space.
After buying all the meat and vegetables, Shen Qingyu saw someone selling puppy puppies.
Thinking of her own little treasure's abilities, Shen Qingyu looked at the litter of puppies.
The woman selling the puppies said, "Young lady, these dogs have been raised for two months. If you like one, you can pick one. They're only fifty coins each."
The six puppies, all purebred mongrels, reacted differently to Shen Qingyu.
The strongest one was the fiercest, baring its teeth as it stared at Shen Qingyu, and even howled menacingly in a cute but menacing way.
Two small stray dogs huddled together, trying to hide.
The thinnest, weeping eye looked at Shen Qingyu, neither barking nor moving, but simply curled up beside its mother dog.
The mother dog had probably been feeding her puppies too much, and they weren't getting enough nutrition. She looked very thin and was observing Shen Qingyu without saying a word.
Just as Shen Qingyu was about to buy them, a woman with a delicate yet assertive voice suddenly spoke up: "How much are these puppies? I'll take them all!"
Shen Qingyu turned around and saw a woman with wild and bright features. The fabric of her clothes was quite nice, and although she wore few pieces of jewelry, they were intricately crafted hairpins inlaid with gold wire and gemstones.
If she wasn't from a noble family, she was at least a young lady from a wealthy family. Why would she be interested in such a mongrel?
Zhao Yuzhu mentioned in a chat yesterday that Shih Tzus are currently popular among the elite circles in Beijing.
It's a scam.
If you want to buy it, then buy it; we won't argue.
Shen Qingyu took a step back without making a sound.
But when the woman saw Shen Qingyu take a step back, she frowned slightly.
After a three-second silence, she pointed to the thinnest puppy and looked at Shen Qingyu.
"I don't want this one. Didn't you want one? I'll give you this one, so you won't say I came from behind."
Shen Qingyu almost laughed out of anger.
He asked first; if this person really wants to be reasonable, he should let him choose first!
They came from behind and stole my opportunity to choose, yet they still want to maintain a facade of virtue.
However, upon glancing at the tall, imposing man behind her, Shen Qingyu sensed a murderous aura: this was someone who had seen blood.
Shen Qingyu's wariness led her to back down again: "Fine."
The woman was dumbfounded: she had been pressing him relentlessly, but he had been yielding step by step, showing no sign of anger whatsoever.
What do we do?
You can't exactly beat him up, can you?
Is this woman really that cowardly?
How could she possibly be worthy of her cousin?
Shen Qingyu pointed to the thinnest puppy: "Give me that puppy, and it'll cost you fifty coins too?"
The old woman was so frightened by the scene before her that she couldn't think straight and nodded blankly.
Shen Qingyu took out fifty coins and handed them to the old woman, then picked up the puppy and was about to leave.
The puppy whimpered and looked at its mother dog in the bamboo basket.
The mother dog looked at her puppies, whimpering as she stood up.
What was even more touching was that tears were streaming from the eyes of both the big and small dogs.
How can anyone bear to do this?
As Shen Qingyu was struggling with her inner turmoil, she heard the noblewoman sneer again: "This mother dog is so reluctant to part with her puppies, isn't it too cruel of you to separate them? Shouldn't you take the mother dog back with you?"
Shen Qingyu had the same idea, so she didn't care about the noblewoman's attitude and just looked at the old woman: "Would you sell this female dog?"
The old woman said in alarm, "This female dog is old, already eight years old, and may not be able to have more puppies in the future..."
The old lady dared not sell it.
The two women in front of me were both beautiful and not ordinary people. In the capital city, where powerful and wealthy people were everywhere, the thing that ordinary people feared most was offending the powerful and wealthy.
She would rather forgo the money than sell the old dog to this woman, for fear of being held accountable later.
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me how much it costs, I don't mind."
Since you've said that...
The old woman felt a little relieved: "Then I'll give it to you. I don't want any money."
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Then give it to me."
The mother dog had a leash around her neck, and the old woman handed her the leash.
The female dog, somewhat frightened, tucked her tail between her legs and was led by Shen Qingyu, who then turned to leave.
But the noblewoman wouldn't give up, and said again, "You got this dog for free, are you planning to take it home and stew it?"
Shen Qingyu was truly angry. She turned to look at the noblewoman and said, "Miss, did I desecrate your ancestral graves?"
The noblewoman wondered if she had misheard: "!!!"
When she realized what was happening, the noblewoman flew into a rage: "How dare you! What did you say?"
Shen Qingyu wasn't swayed by her emotions, and said seriously, "We've never met before, but you've been constantly arguing with me since we met. I've tolerated it time and time again, but you keep pushing me..."
"If I didn't desecrate your ancestral graves, did I steal your man?"
Thinking about Qi Yunxiao's dark forehead, Shen Qingyu couldn't help but wonder: Does a man like that attract women?
Is the noble lady of the capital blind?
The probability is low!
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the noblewoman jumped up in anger: "What nonsense are you spouting? Who would want that black pot lid?!"
Shen Qingyu raised an eyebrow, understanding.
Sure enough, this person knew Qi Yunxiao, so he deliberately made things difficult for him.
Is this some enemy that Qi Yunxiao offended?
Or was it to stand up for Qi Yunxiao and vent his anger?
Although she had her own suspicions, Shen Qingyu did not attack the other party further. She only asked, "May I ask how this young lady is addressed? Should I go home and tell my husband that you call him Black Pot Lid?"
The noblewoman: "!!!"
Who says this woman is weak and easily bullied?
Look at that sharp tongue! When it comes to a direct confrontation, she doesn't give an inch.
After her chest heaved twice, the noblewoman suddenly laughed: "I'll go with you, right here in front of you, and you can tell your husband that I called him 'Black Pot Lid'! See what he says!"
Shen Qingyu said lightly, "Fine, I'll go."
So the tall man paid the money, then casually picked up the bamboo basket containing the puppies. Shen Qingyu carried one puppy and led another, and the three of them and the seven dogs headed towards Xinghua Lane.
When they got back to their door, Qi Yunxiao knocked and opened it. He saw Shen Qingyu with a calm expression, and behind her was the Third Princess, who was smiling smugly.
Oh, and there's Long San following behind, carrying a dog basket.
Qi Yunxiao's eyes widened: "What are you doing here?"
The third princess chuckled, "Cousin, I heard you were back, so I came to see you!"
"Thank you, now go!"
The third princess glanced at him disdainfully: "What? Afraid I'll bully your wife?"
Qi Yunxiao glanced at Long San, then gave the Third Princess a disdainful look: "As long as you don't let others take action, you can't bully her."
Third Princess: "!!!"
Hey! You underestimated me because of that black pot lid!
