"Why did you take off someone's clothes?"
Ji Nianqin was questioning the foreman at the roast duck restaurant, but the employees pretended not to hear and went outside to dance to attract customers.
"Oh, you little girl, I was just worried I couldn't find you and almost let you run away. But you came to me on your own."
The supervisor grabbed Ji Nianqin by the collar, like dragging a little roast duck, and led her all the way out of the roast duck restaurant. The staff of the roast duck restaurant were dancing outside. Seeing this situation, they actually started dancing with torches, wrapping Ji Nianqin in the middle, and escorting the supervisor all the way to the corner. They slowly came back, as if this had become an unwritten custom for dealing with people who evaded debts.
"Let me go. Do you know that's the real prince's clothing? I owe you the money for the roast duck. Just give it back to me quickly. Otherwise, I won't be able to pay you back even if I sell you off."
"Hey my! How dare you, little girl, speak so arrogantly? I want to know how powerful you are. Do you think this little money is enough? How much did you eat? Do you have any idea? A whole roasted lamb is 1680."
The foreman counted the money in his hand and it was only 168.
"Isn't that man washing dishes? How much does it cost to wash a dish?"
"If that's what you're saying, then I have to do the math with you. Didn't he tell you that he broke 16 bowls? Do you know how expensive one is? Look at the decoration of our store..."
The foreman kept talking, as if he would not let Ji Nianqin leave unless she returned his money.
"What is that?"
Ji Nianqin pointed to the sky. The foreman's favorite thing to study was UFOs. He quickly took out the telescope on his waist and looked towards the sky. There seemed to be no suspicious object, but a pigeon. It had urinated and pooped on the precious telescope lens that he had bought with half a year's salary, and it had also had some diarrhea.
Ji Nianqin finally escaped, but after thinking about it, she realized that without the prince's clothes, it would be really difficult for her and the so-called "elder sister" to survive in the modern world. Money is needed everywhere here, and even if they try their best to learn, there are still many things they cannot understand.
"No, I have to go there. I have to find out where it is. If it's been sold, there must be a buyer. If I follow the clues, I'll definitely find it."
As soon as Ji Nianqin raised her front foot, something grabbed it tightly. When she turned around, she saw it was the little pug.
"Lulu? You're finally back."
Ji Nianqin hugged Lulu in front of her and put her face against his furry and fleshy body, not minding that it was dirty.
"Put it down, that's my dog."
A legless beggar actually stood up. Wow, those two long legs were so long that they seemed like they could even jump over hurdles.
He walked over quickly, holding the "prosthetic limb" used for begging, and pointed at Ji Nianqin.
"This is mine, no, it's not, it's Princess Mingyue's."
"Don't tell me these useless things. Look around the streets. You're everywhere wearing ancient costumes like you. Who are you trying to fool by making up this story about Princess Mingyue?"
"Then do you have evidence to prove that he is your dog? Do you know his name?"
"I usually call it puppy. In this day and age, who still gives dogs human names? How unfashionable."
"Its name is Lulu. Look, it has a bell around its neck with its name engraved on it. I'm afraid it'll get lost, so I also engraved our studio's contact information on it."
The beggar felt bored and stopped arguing. Instead, he picked up a yellow robe, put it on, and prepared to leave.
"Wait, the prince's clothes have been found. This also belongs to Princess Mingyue."
