Zhao Qingyan turned to look at Zhao Qinglin, "So this is what you're like, Second Sister."
Zhao Qinghe was a little confused as to what it was all for.
"You two, stop playing games and bullying me because I'm not well-educated."
Zhao Qinglin gently patted her younger sister's head.
“Our family is not what it used to be; we are now from an official family.”
One should not go too far in anything, otherwise it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives and damage one's reputation.
Zhao Qinghe suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. How much silver do you have in your purse, sister?"
Zhao Qinglin said with a slight pang of heartache, "Oh dear, that's more than ten taels! It breaks my heart."
Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Qinghe were amused and laughed.
This is what they call it: it feels good when you're showing off, but it hurts so much when you turn around.
Zhao Qinglin's act of wielding the whip was clearly seen by Prince Rui, who was drinking tea upstairs.
He summoned the guards.
"Go downstairs and ask the girl wielding the whip where she got her whip made."
If possible, ask her for her address.
Be polite and don't anger them; getting beaten up isn't worth it.
"Please wait, young lady. The young lady who just cracked the whip, please wait."
A sudden male voice rang out.
The three Zhao sisters stopped at the same time and turned to look at the guards chasing after them.
"What is it?"
The guard explained his purpose, and Zhao Qinglin really didn't know where the whip was made, since it was a gift from Zhao Qingyan.
He turned to look at Zhao Qingyan.
Zhao Qingyan looked the guards up and down.
"Could you tell me which household you belong to? And where did this whip come from?"
The guards clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"I am Mo Yi, a guard of Prince Rui's mansion."
My master felt that the young lady's whip was a rare weapon, so he sent me to inquire about it. Please forgive my intrusion.
Zhao Qingyan nodded; she had heard of Prince Rui's reputation.
She might not have said it if it were someone else, but it doesn't matter if Prince Rui says it.
"Sister, this whip isn't anything special."
It's simply made of python skin, with gold thread and silkworm silk added during the weaving process.
Therefore, it is simply more sturdy and durable than an ordinary whip.
The guard clasped his hands in greeting and said...
"So it was made by the young lady herself, I admire you. That whip looks very powerful, but I wonder how big the python was?"
Zhao Qingyan chuckled, beckoned with her finger, and the guard indeed lowered his head to listen.
"See that wooden barrel over there? That barrel is thick."
After saying that, she left with her sisters.
The guard's face turned deathly pale; he was clearly terrified.
The wooden bucket that Zhao Qingyan just pointed to was so large that even an adult man couldn't wrap his arms around it.
That means the python must have been at least 20 or 30 meters long.
Who would dare provoke this behemoth? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a spirit.
Once upstairs, he repeated Zhao Qingyan's words, which piqued Prince Rui's interest.
"Go and find out whose family those three sisters are. I want to buy that snakeskin."
The guards had no choice but to send people to investigate the Zhao Qingyan sisters.
The Zhao sisters did not walk very fast, and were soon caught up by the guards.
Zhao Qingyan quickly realized she was being followed, but since there seemed to be no ill intent, she didn't pay any attention to it.
I took my sisters shopping as usual, and we also went to a restaurant for a meal.
I'm about to leave Beijing, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to eat Beijing food again.
The sisters weren't going to the Zhao family, and the person in charge of tracking them was getting anxious.
The three sisters were eating and drinking in the restaurant, while they could only watch from the rooftop across the street.
Zhao Qingyan ordered quite a few dishes, and asked people to pack up the ones she thought were delicious to take away.
Just before leaving, he called over a waiter and asked him to lead the way so he could leave through the back door.
Prince Rui sat in the teahouse and drank several pots of tea. He went to the outhouse several times, but no scouts came to report. He knew that he had lost track of the person.
Without waiting any longer, I prepared to return home.
Coincidentally, as they walked along, they passed by Han Xuri's rouge shop.
When Han Xuri came out, he immediately spotted Prince Rui.
"Your Highness, why didn't you even ride in a carriage? Aren't you afraid of being swarmed by bees and butterflies?" Han Xuri teased.
Prince Rui shook his head.
"Young Master, please don't tease me. Where would so many philanderers come from? They would have been killed by a single glare from me."
Han Xuri laughed heartily and put his arm around Prince Rui's shoulder.
"Come on, come with me to meet someone, and we can freeload a meal while we're at it. I'm sure you'll like it."
Prince Rui glanced at Han Xuri and said, "If I remember correctly, I am older than you."
Han Xuri grinned, "That's not important, it's not important. Anyway, we're brothers."
Prince Rui stopped worrying about the issue and got into the carriage with Han Xuri.
It was only after getting into the carriage that they realized something was wrong.
"Young Master Xu, when did you end up using a carriage as a freight truck?"
Han Xuri glanced at the things piled up in the car.
"Hey, it's not important. It's not far anyway."
The weather isn't very warm, and one carriage can fit everyone, so why bring two?
The driver suffers, and the horse suffers too; it's completely unnecessary.
We, as masters, should be considerate of our subordinates.
Prince Rui remained silent, watching Han Xuri perform.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Zhao family's house.
The gatekeeper went in to announce their arrival, and Han Xuri, familiar with the place, entered the living room. His entourage quickly unloaded the items from the car.
Xu Dongsheng quickly appeared in the living room.
Prince Rui stood up in shock, “Aunt.”
Xu Dongsheng knew that his brother had brought outsiders, but he never expected that these people would not distinguish between men and women.
Han Xuri suppressed the urge to burst out laughing.
"Let me introduce you. This is the renowned War God, King Rui, from our Divine Dragon Kingdom."
He is also our cousin and uncle's son.
This handsome, dashing, elegant, and exceptionally intelligent young man is my younger brother, Xu Dongsheng.
Aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised? My brother, who had been missing for over ten years, has been found!
Prince Rui was naturally surprised.
Who would have thought that the little one born would grow up to look so much like her aunt?
"You're Dongsheng? It really is Dongsheng! Oh my god, I even held you when you were little."
I never imagined that when we met again, you'd be such a big young man.
Before Xu Dongsheng could reply, Han Xuri started bragging again.
"He's no ordinary young man; he's the top scholar in this imperial examination. He's incredibly learned and exceptionally talented..."
Xu Dongsheng simply couldn't resist his brother's mindless flattery.
"Brother, please, it's just a top scholar, don't praise me so much, it's making me feel embarrassed."
Seeing that his younger brother's face had turned red, Han Xuri stopped teasing the child.
"I brought some things for you."
How are your travel preparations going? This journey is long, so safety must be the top priority.
Especially your life, you absolutely must be saved.
My brother is still waiting to hold his little nephew.
Xu Dongsheng glanced at Han Xuri and said, "My wife is still young, there's no rush to get married. But it's your older brother who should hurry up."
