Qian Ruoyu just smiled slightly after hearing these words.

After all, Yan'er was just his maid, so naturally she would be on his side in everything she said.

But when Qian Ruoyu took a look at Yan'er, he found that the rouge and powder Yan'er was using were just ordinary, and even pitifully little, so Qian Ruoyu decided to buy some for her.

Afterwards, Qian Ruoyu took Yan'er and left the palace, letting Yan'er take several dozen taels of silver with her.

Yan'er was carrying a small bag and looked very tired.

Qian Ruoyu naturally planned to reward Yan'er well. During this period of time, Yan'er had made some contributions but had worked hard.

Qian Ruoyu considers himself a person who clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments.

She then brought Yan'er to the largest and most prosperous street in the entire capital city. This street is the commercial center of the capital city.

This street sells everything, including rouge and powder, silk and cloth, and clothes.

Moreover, this street is not muddy like other streets. Instead, it is clean and tidy, which makes people feel refreshed when looking at it.

Qian Ruoyu said to Yan'er beside her.

"You have been in Beijing for such a long time, you should know Beijing best. Take me to the cheapest rouge and powder shop in Beijing."

As soon as Yan'er heard this, she looked at Qian Ruoyu in confusion and asked in surprise.

"My lady... Isn't this the street you often bring me to? Don't you know this place better than I do?"

When hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu suddenly realized that there seemed to be some fragments in his memory. He was indeed very familiar with this street. It seemed that he had often brought Yan'er here before.

Qian Ruoyu was too lazy to clean up those scraps of memory, so he said to Yan'er beside him.

"Oh, I haven't been here for a long time. It would be more convenient if you take me there."

Yan'er had no choice but to take Qian Ruoyu to an alley on the street. There were all kinds of grocery stores in the alley, selling various small tools, chisels, nails and the like. There were also people playing chess in the streets, and they looked very happy.

Fortunately, Qian Ruoyu was wearing a simple piece of coarse cloth. Everyone else was still doing their own things.

Qian Ruoyu thought, isn't this the rat street of a modern city? There are all kinds of things in it, and everything is sold, and the prices are cheap.

Following Yan'er, I came to a very small shop. I saw three or four wooden boards placed at the door of the shop. They were painted with various colors of rouge and powder to make it easier for people to compare.

The shop owner is an old lady with a big mole at the corner of her mouth. Her face is fat but not greasy, and she has a big belly, but she can move around in this small shop.

The whole store looks extremely narrow, with a width barely enough for a person to stretch out his arms, but the inside is very long, with a depth of as much as five meters.

There were four or five other people in the shop who were also choosing their favorite rouge and powder. They were all wearing ordinary clothes. Qian Ruoyu could see that the clothes they were wearing were very fitting.

This place is indeed where ordinary civilians come from. It seems Yan'er did not bring me to the wrong place.

After Yan'er brought Qian Ruoyu here, she also said to Qian Ruoyu.

"Madam, this shop is your favorite. If the master doesn't give you any pocket money, you will come here with me to buy some rouge and powder..."

"Although they are all low-end rouge and powder, Miss... no... Madam, you like them the most."

"It's just that... it's just that you still owe this lady boss some money..."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu nodded slowly. After all, she didn't know whether she owed money or not, and she didn't even know how much she owed.

These were debts owed by the original owner, and she really didn't know about it.

"But don't worry, Madam. The proprietress of this store is a good person. Although we owe her some money, she never asked us to let her know that we are from the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Just as Yan'er said this, the proprietress also noticed the arrival of Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er, and hurriedly walked towards Qian Ruoyu in a gorgeous manner.

Although the proprietress was fat, she looked very likable, especially when she saw Qian Ruoyu, she immediately smiled.

"Oh! You haven't been here for a long time. I thought you were not coming. By the way, I have a lot of good stuff here that are new."

Qian Ruoyu smiled. She didn't expect that the proprietress in front of her would be so hospitable.

Although this body comes here often, Qian Ruoyu herself has never been here before. However, just by seeing the proprietress being so enthusiastic, Qian Ruoyu felt that it seemed that Yan'er brought her to this place.

Then Qian Ruoyu spoke directly.

"Madam, how much money did we owe you? Let's tell you all at once. Now is a good time to settle your bill."

When the proprietress heard Qian Ruoyu's words, she felt a little surprised.

Then the proprietress seemed to have thought of something and spoke quickly.

"Oh... I remember now. You are no longer a young lady, but a princess..."

Before she could say this to her, Qian Ruoyu quickly covered her mouth.

"Shh, we are here in plain clothes this time, so you better not tell anyone."

After hearing this, the fat proprietress nodded quickly, and Qian Ruoyu let her go.

"You are already of a high status... I didn't expect you to come to my little shop. It really is a great honor for my little shop. The money you owe me is nothing... I can just let it go..."

But Qian Ruoyu shook his head after hearing this.

Although Qian Ruoyu is not a petty person, she will of course pay back the money she owes, and she might have to visit this store frequently in the future.

"No, just tell us how much money you owe us. If you don't want it, we won't come next time!"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say such serious words, the proprietress had to think about it for a while before speaking to Qian Ruoyu.

"Not much, not much... You only owe our little shop a few cents, not much."

But after hearing this, Qian Ruoyu was shocked. One tael and two cents is equivalent to one thousand two hundred coins, which is not a small amount!

How many things did the original owner and Yan'er buy here that they owed so much money!

How could the original owner be so shameless as to owe so much money here?

The prime minister's daughter has fallen into debt.

You have to know that one thousand two hundred coins is enough for a family of three to spend on food and clothing for a month!

You have to know that this shop is originally located at the end of a remote street, and the profit is definitely not high. The fact that the proprietress was willing to let Yan'er and I owe so much money made Qian Ruoyu look up to the proprietress even more.
