Chapter 262 Meeting an acquaintance
In the carriage, Bai Li sat quietly, her hands clasped together on her legs, her manners graceful and elegant, the look of a true lady from a noble family.
Wu'er was too happy just now and agreed to take her out. After she came to her senses, she couldn't go back on her word, so she had to bite the bullet and stay alert to accompany her.
Seeing her so well-behaved, I felt a little relieved.
It seems that the young lady has made up her mind to get married.
That’s right, what woman would dare to despise a man with a good family background and good looks after marrying him?
She has found a good marriage!
The carriage continued along the way and soon arrived at the downtown area.
After a while, the carriage stopped and the driver announced, "Miss, Ruyi Jewelry Shop has arrived!"
Wu'er was the first to jump off the carriage. For some reason, Bai Li wanted to jump too after seeing her agile figure. But when she thought about her own body, she gave up. It would be so embarrassing if she fell down.
She stretched out her foot, stepped onto the stool Wu'er brought, lifted her skirt and slowly got off the carriage.
Her outstanding appearance and graceful movements inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by.
When Wu'er saw her, she quickly raised her fan to block her and helped her quickly enter the store.
Li Dong was stunned and rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was seeing things.
"Brother Li, what are you looking at?"
His friend came out of the teahouse and saw the person who had come out earlier still in a daze at the door, staring at the Ruyi Jewelry Store next door, so he called him.
"If you want to buy some jewelry to please your sister-in-law, go in and take a look. There's no rule that prohibits men from entering here."
"this……"
His friend thought he was embarrassed to go in, so he enthusiastically pulled him in.
Li Dong couldn't break free and was half-pushed and half-pulled into the bed.
In the shop, the person who came in first was being warmly welcomed by the shopkeeper and taken to the second floor.
At the corner, Bai Li paused and glanced at Li Dong. He felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Seeing that she stopped, Wu'er panicked a little and half-pushed and half-pulled her to the second floor.
Bai Li only had time to open his mouth and silently say two words: "Wait for me", and he was pushed up without knowing whether anyone saw him or not.
At the corner of the stairs, Li Dong saw the familiar face again.
"Isn't that General Bai's daughter Bai Li?!"
Li Dong rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was definitely not seeing things this time.
But that mischievous girl is lively and smart, while this lady is quiet and elegant. They look like the same person, but their expressions and temperaments are completely two different people!
Her mouth opened as if to say something, but he didn't hear a word.
"She's talking to me?"
"Brother Li, what are you mumbling about? If there's nothing suitable here, we can go upstairs and have a look."
The accessories on the first floor are of the styles that ordinary people need. The gold and silver accessories are simple, plain and economical.
The second floor sells higher-end accessories with novel styles, and the prices are naturally more expensive than those on the first floor.
Li Dong went up to the second floor full of doubts. There were not many people there at the moment. Apart from the master and servant in front, there were Li Dong and his friends.
"Hey! I say you two scoundrels are going too far.
Not only were you staring at my young lady at the door just now, but now you're chasing me here. Do you think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
When Wu'er saw Li Dong following them, she immediately protected Bai Li like a hen protecting her chicks, glaring at them.
"Hey! You little maid are so arrogant! This shop is not owned by your family. Only you are allowed to come in, but we can't come in?"
Li Dong's friend Wei Wei couldn't stand it anymore and started arguing with Wu'er. Bai Li took the opportunity to give Li Dong a look for help, but he didn't know if he could understand it.
Wei Wei and Wu'er refused to give in to each other and argued until their faces turned red. The shopkeeper hurriedly tried to mediate between the two sides. Everyone was a guest, and he couldn't offend one party for the sake of the other.
As Bai Li watched, his expression suddenly turned ugly. He put his hand on his forehead and his body was swaying. But Wu'er was busy arguing with others and didn't notice at all.
"Stop arguing! You've made the young lady faint!"
Li Dong didn't dare to step forward to help the person, so he shouted and brought the two people who were arguing back to reality.
Wu'er hurriedly supported Bai Li and asked repeatedly, "Miss, how are you? Don't scare me!"
With someone to support him, Bai Li rolled his eyes and fell limply onto Wu'er.
"Your young lady has fainted, go get a doctor quickly!"
Li Dong wanted to go up and carry the person to the clinic, but he couldn't ruin the person's innocence by saving him.
"Miss!"
Wu'er was so anxious that she almost cried. If she had known, she would not have brought her out even if she was afraid of being blamed by the young lady!
"Little girl, help your daughter to the tea room and sit down, then go get a doctor. Your daughter looks very bad!"
The shopkeeper also advised that the young lady was so frail that she looked like she was about to die, and that nothing could happen to her in his shop, otherwise his job as shopkeeper would be over!
This maid is the same, why don't you go and call a doctor? What's the point of rushing?!
Wu'er half supported and half carried Bai Li to the tea room next door. This was a place for entertaining guests to rest. It was equipped with a low coffee table and a chair.
He helped Baili sit on the armchair, let her lean on the armrest, and then fed her tea.
"Hey, little girl, your daughter has fainted, why don't you go get a doctor quickly? What's the point of feeding her tea?
If something happens to her, can you afford it?"
Wu'er glared at Li Dong fiercely. It was all his fault, otherwise the young lady wouldn't have fainted.
Li Dong touched his nose. No one would feel good if someone repeatedly criticized him for meddling in other people's affairs. He wanted to walk away, but he held back when he saw Bai Li with his eyes closed.
Even if this lady is not Bai Li, she must have a great relationship with her, otherwise, apart from their temperament, their eyebrows and eyes would not be so similar.
Forget it, he had "happy cooperation" with Bai Li during his exile. For her sake, he would be a good person and help this young lady!
Li Dong and the shopkeeper urged the maid to fetch a doctor, but Wu'er remained unmoved. The shopkeeper slapped his forehead and said, "You're worried about your young lady, aren't you? So, go out and have your coachman fetch a doctor. Then come back and see your young lady. It'll only be a few moments. I'll have a maid come over here to look after her. Now you can rest assured, right?"
After the shopkeeper had said this, he told the handyman to go to the backyard and call the cook.
The shop was large enough, divided into front and back yards. The front was the shop, and the back was where the shopkeeper and handymen lived, a total of four or five people, so a housewife was hired to cook.
The old woman came up, and the shopkeeper and Li Dong and others left the tea room, but Wu'er still didn't move.
"Or should I send for a doctor?"
The shopkeeper discussed and asked at the door, "I've seen cautious people, but I've never seen such cautious maids and servants!"
