The tailor shop sells ready-made clothes. Judging from Yu Nanqing's figure, he must be over 185 cm tall.
She picked and chose two sets of inner garments, two sets of middle garments, and two outer robes for Yu Nanqing, and also picked out two nice belts before asking the shopkeeper to pack them up and pay for them.
The clothes here are all hand-embroidered, and the workmanship is superb. The fabric is also very comfortable to the touch.
Su Wanyan looked at the dazzling array of clothes and originally wanted to buy herself a set, but seeing that she had less money in her purse, she gritted her teeth and decided against it.
If she can't go back to the modern world, she'll have to live here for the rest of her life. There will be plenty of opportunities. She's quite comfortable wearing maid's clothes now.
She had just stepped out of the store with her packed clothes when she suddenly heard someone shouting from the street, "Catch him! Help me catch him!"
Su Wanyan turned her head and saw a dark-skinned beggar, about eight or nine years old, dressed in tattered clothes, with a steamed bun in his mouth and several others in his arms, running towards her.
In an instant, Su Wanyan thought of what she had been going through these past few days: not being able to eat well, not being able to sleep well, and struggling every day just for a bite to eat.
In an instant, the hand that had been instinctively reached out was pulled back.
The little beggar darted past her, chased by a large, panting fat man wielding a wooden stick, yelling, "You brat, you're always stealing food! I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing this, Su Wanyan quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, brother! Don't chase him, don't chase him."
The man selling steamed buns watched helplessly as the little beggar ran away, then angrily turned around and vented his anger on Su Wanyan: "Who are you? Why are you stopping me? Do you know I was about to catch up with him!"
Impossible! It's a far cry from that!
While thinking to herself, Su Wanyan smiled gently and said, "Brother, please calm down. I'll pay for it."
Upon hearing this, the man selling steamed buns calmed down considerably. He glanced at the little beggar who had disappeared, then at Su Wanyan, and said with some skepticism, "One coin each, and she took five."
Huh? Five coins? She didn't exchange them for copper coins!
You're so stupid, you should have gone to the bank to exchange the loose change immediately.
In ancient times, was it possible to make money?
Giving a small coin for five coins and asking for 145 coins in change seems a bit too much for ordinary people, doesn't it?
"What? Changed your mind?" The man selling steamed buns got angry again when he saw her hesitate.
"How could that be? Do I look like that kind of person?" She pulled a small piece of silver from her purse, her heart bleeding. "Here you go, keep the change."
Upon seeing this, the man selling steamed buns immediately became much more polite: "Oh, so you're a distinguished guest!"
He accepted the silver coin with a forced smile: "It was my fault for not recognizing your greatness. Um, have you eaten yet? My steamed bun shop is not far away, would you like to come and sit down?"
"I haven't eaten! Pack me a few!" Su Wanyan immediately replied.
"Alright, all set!"
As Su Wanyan emerged from the steamed bun shop, her body was once again laden with a cloth bag full of steamed buns.
She didn't want to be so stingy, but she was just too poor!
"Next, let's go to the bookstore." Before giving Yu Nanqing acupuncture, she wanted to learn about acupuncture from books.
Although she can master acupuncture knowledge without learning it after the [Acupuncture Skill] is activated, as a medical student, it is right to treat it with caution before understanding this medical technique.
As she walked, she kept an eye on the shops on both sides. What were bookstores called in ancient times?
As she was walking, she was suddenly pushed aside by the crowd. She couldn't help but take two steps back. Before she could figure out what was happening, she saw a huge carriage in the distance.
The carriage was pulled side by side by two horses. The carriage was open on all sides and separated by rows of pale yellow gauze curtains. The pale yellow gauze curtains were embroidered with wisps of smoke, which made the people sitting in the carriage look very mysterious.
As the carriage drew closer, upon closer inspection, it became clear that a man sat inside. The gauze curtains fluttered gently in the wind, allowing Su Wanyan to see the hem of his white brocade robe.
The carriage was surrounded by guards, with soldiers following in front and behind. The people on the street spontaneously made way for it. Su Wanyan was amazed by the grand spectacle.
"Tsk tsk, I wonder which young master the Princess has taken a fancy to this time."
Someone in the crowd whispered something.
Su Wanyan immediately perked up her ears, and then heard someone next to her say, "Don't you know? It's the musician who teaches music at the Mo residence in the south of the city, Young Master Su."
"What? Wasn't it said that Young Master Su refused? How come he's going to enter the Princess's residence now?"
"She is the eldest princess. Even if she doesn't comply, what can Young Master Su do?"
"This princess is really... It's just a pity for our prince consort. What's wrong with being a prince consort? He's so majestic."
"Shh, you can't say that anymore."
After listening intently on one side, another voice rang out from the other: "I heard that the Princess is going to hold a banquet in her mansion, and this Young Master Su was just invited in to play the zither. I wonder if it's true or not."
"Judging from this pomp and circumstance, it's hard to say. In the past, when male concubines entered the manor, didn't they all say the same thing?"
"We'll find out whether it's true or not after the banquet."
Princess Yu Tingyi of the Great Jin Dynasty, according to the original owner's memories, was about twenty-five years old. When she was fifteen, the late emperor recruited the top martial arts scholar of the time to be her consort.
As the youngest princess in the court, Yu Tingyi was greatly favored by the late emperor, who granted her military power, which was then taken over by her husband, a former martial arts champion.
This imperial son-in-law did not disappoint the late emperor. Before becoming the imperial son-in-law, he had been ordered to lead troops to suppress bandits on several occasions and won many victories. He was a brave and skilled warrior.
However, this princess did not seem to like this consort. In the same year that the late emperor had chosen this consort for her, she used the military power given to her by the late emperor to help her half-brother, Yu Nanyi, seize the throne and help Yu Nanyi consolidate the court.
At that time, the late emperor had three sons. The legitimate prince, Yu Nanjin, was imprisoned and died in the struggle for the throne. He was accused of colluding with foreign countries and plotting to usurp the throne.
The eldest prince is none other than the current emperor, Yu Nanyi.
The third prince is Prince Gong, Yu Nanqing, who is currently bedridden.
Su Wanyan heard that Yu Nanqing went to the frontier at the age of 10 and went to the battlefield at the age of 11. When Yu Nanyi ascended the throne at the age of 20, Yu Nanqing, who was only 16 at the time, was still fighting on the battlefield, thus avoiding the struggle for the throne.
If he hadn't been seriously injured in the Battle of Xiaoshui in the East China Sea when he was 20, Yu Nanqing probably wouldn't have returned to the capital by now.
Returning to Princess Yu Tingyi, she and her husband had been married for ten years, but not only had they failed to have a child, her household was filled with male favorites one after another, a fact known to everyone in the capital.
Even the original owner, a sheltered young lady who rarely left her home, knew about it.
