"More than half a month before the grain store opened, the store manager sent some grain to various households to attract customers. However, the grain was not enough to last for so long, so many people were waiting here early today."
Bai Miaoqing talked to herself, and Shen Yu'an just listened.
The two of them did not take a carriage, nor did they have servants or maids follow them. They just walked around along the way, and also bought some small items in their hands.
When they could hardly carry the things in their hands, they finally arrived at the rouge shop that Bai Miaoqing mentioned.
The rouge shop was doing very good business. Looking around, you could see that all the people standing inside the shop were beautiful young ladies, each with their own unique looks.
As soon as Bai Miaoqing pulled Shen Yu'an in, the shop owner came over hurriedly and took away the bags they were carrying and put them away.
“Miss, Miss Shen!”
Bai Miaoqing waved his hand and told him to go do his work, saying, "Go ahead, I'll take a look myself."
"Hey, if there's anything you need from me, just give me a shout, young lady."
Chen Yu'an was pulled by Bai Miaoqing and took several kinds of rouge and powder and asked the servant to pack them up.
Just when the two were enjoying themselves, an inappropriate voice interrupted their laughter.
A rather sarcastic voice said, "Hey, isn't this Baozhu's great benefactor? He dares to come to a place like this even though he is dressed so poorly."
As soon as the voice was heard, the noisy voices of the women in the shop slowly quieted down, and they all looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The person who spoke was Qi Yiran, the third daughter of Xiangnan General's Mansion, who had once had a conflict with Shen Yu'an over a piece of clothing and was punished.
Qi Yiran looked at Shen Yuan, sizing her up and down.
She sneered and said, "Poor people shouldn't go out and embarrass themselves. If you don't steal other people's clothes, you won't be able to wear presentable clothes when you go out."
"I did buy a few sets of clothes for my servants when I went out this time. If Miss Shen really doesn't have any clothes that are presentable, I can kindly give you two."
Qi Yiran's words were full of sarcasm. People who didn't know the situation heard her words and looked at Shen Yuan with something wrong in their eyes.
Shen Yu'an was choosing lip balm, and Bai Miaoqing walked not far away to choose other things.
The young ladies in the shop saw that Shen Yu'an's clothes were out of tune with their own, as if he was a beggar in front of them, and they all covered their mouths and noses and took two steps back.
A cute girl standing with Qi Yiran looked at Shen Yu'an with disdain and asked, "Third Miss, who is this?"
Qi Yiran said in a pretentious voice: "This person is the great benefactor of my uncle's precious daughter! He tried to establish a relationship with our general's mansion by deceiving the child."
Because of that dress, Qi Yiran was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for several days. Although her brother secretly sent her food every day, General Xiangnan would still send people to monitor her from time to time, and her knees were swollen.
She hated Shen Yu'an in her heart, but when she was released from the ban, Shen Yu'an was gone, so she couldn't take revenge even if she wanted to.
Now I meet her in this place, huh!
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shen Yu'an with even more unfriendly eyes.
The cute girl tutted and said loudly, "What great benefactor? He is just a poor fellow. Otherwise, why would he steal your new clothes, Yiran?"
The two of them sang in unison, and immediately everyone looked at Shen Yu'an with contempt.
Bai Miaoqing quickly squeezed into the crowd and stood next to Shen Yu'an, glaring at everyone and angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Shen Yu'an is my friend."
