After listening to this, Sun Guiying nodded in agreement, "That's right. We should go find two maids who are good at leg and footwork to serve Yuwan."
"Mom, don't worry. I will arrange it after returning to Beijing." Mu Yunzheng quickly responded.
Sun Guiying said yes: "Let's go, let's go shopping too."
…
An hour and a half later, Qiu Yinong and the others returned to the boat.
Qiu Hansheng and his friends were holding a lot of things in their hands, all of which were delicious food bought by Qiu Yinong or clothes, shoes and other items bought for the Qiu family.
"Oh, why did you buy so many things?" When Mrs. Qiu saw her daughter coming back, she hurried forward and took the bag from her hand.
Qiu Yinong poured herself a cup of tea, drank it in big gulps, and then said, "There's a market in the city today, it looks good, so I bought some things for you."
"Qingyuan, you and Ziyao will deliver the things for our grandparents."
"Okay girl."
"These are for you and Dad. There are ready-made clothes and some accessories. Take a look at them, Mom. Do you like them?"
Qiu Yinong opened the bundle and saw that the ready-made clothes had nice colors and beautiful embroidery.
Mother Qiu liked it at first sight. Inside the brocade box were some silver jewelry. Qiu Yinong said, "I asked the Gu family to make a set of pure gold jewelry for you. It should be ready when I return from the capital."
"Mom has enough jewelry and clothes, so there's no need to spend money." Mother Qiu looked at her daughter lovingly and said gently.
"Mother, don't you know that a woman's wardrobe is always missing a set of clothes, and her jewelry box is always missing a set of jewelry?"
Qiu Yinong said seriously.
"What a ridiculous idea!" Mother Qiu was amused by her and couldn't stop laughing.
Sun Guiying just happened to come in, and when she heard this, she happily agreed and said, "Yier, what you said is right. When we get back to the capital, grandma will take you shopping. If you like anything, grandma will buy it for you."
"Thank you, grandma." Qiu Yinong thanked her obediently without spoiling Sun Guiying's mood.
Seeing this, Mother Qiu didn't know what to say. She just bought it for her daughter and told her to wear it.
"What? This boat is not very big." There was a complaint from outside. Qiu Yinong frowned slightly, which meant that another weirdo had come on board.
"Xiaolan, go tell the boatman that I want the biggest and best cabin." The spoiled and willful voice sounded again.
"Yes, girl."
After a while, footsteps were heard coming towards the cabin. The largest and best cabins on the ship were rented by my uncle-in-law.
This woman wanted to live in a big and nice cabin, so she would definitely compete with them for it.
Well, here comes the troublemaker.
Qiu Yinong stood up and walked to the cabin door.
The leader was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a pink and green dress. She had a pretty face and was a pretty little beauty.
Two maids led the way in front of him, and four old women and two maids followed behind him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that his family background must be good.
The girl also saw Qiu Yinong, and she walked up to her with an arrogant look on her face.
"I heard from the boat owner that the best cabins have been bought by you. I will pay double. Now you leave this cabin."
"I don't ask you to give up all of them, just give me two."
A woman came forward, holding five taels of silver in her hand: "Pack it up quickly."
Qiu Yinong looked at them with amusement: "When did I promise you that I would give it up?"
"You!" The girl was furious. She glared at Qiu Yinong and asked, "What? You think it's not enough?"
"Five taels is indeed not a lot." Qiu Yinong glanced at the silver in the old woman's hand, then looked at the girl.
The girl frowned, and Qiu Yinong spoke again: "Young lady, I think you understand the principle of first come, first served!"
"We are unwilling to give it up, can you still snatch it away openly?"
"Very good." The girl smiled instead of getting angry.
The old woman who took the money angrily said, "Our daughter is the new bride of the Wei family in the capital. If you know what's best for you, pack up your things and get out!"
"Wei family? I don't know them!" Qiu Yinong was not afraid at all.
Sun Guiying also came over, looked the girl up and down, and then said, "Are you talking about the Wei family, the seventh-rank ceremonial master?"
"That's good to know. Our girl is the legitimate daughter of the Qinyang Prefecture's prefect's advisor. She came to the capital this time to get married." The old woman said with a proud look on her face.
Sun Guiying smiled and said, "If you can talk it over nicely, there won't be any problem in giving up one room."
"But if you are so arrogant and domineering, then forget it."
"How dare you!" the old woman roared angrily.
Sun Guiying smiled, stopped Aunt Xu who was about to step forward to teach her a lesson, and chuckled at the old woman: "How dare you?"
"Who are you to yell at us here?"
"When you're out and about, it's best to keep a low profile. You're not supporting your master, but bringing disaster upon her."
After Sun Guiying finished speaking, she looked at the boatman standing not far away.
"And boatman, you are too dishonest in your conduct. You won't be able to keep doing business this way for long."
"We have already rented this cabin. How dare you bring people here to rob it?"
Sun Guiying's expression turned cold. She had been an old lady for many years and still had some aura of oppression.
The boatman broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained: "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Well, this girl just now said she wanted the best and largest cabin, and I told her that all of them have been rented."
"We still have two better cabins, but this girl didn't want to stay and insisted on coming over. I was in a difficult position, so I didn't stop her."
"She thought that if you were unwilling, she would naturally give up."
Sun Guiying sneered and looked at the girl with an ugly expression again.
"We've made it clear that we're happy living in this cabin and we don't want to go through the hassle of moving around."
"Since the boatman still has the better cabin, you can choose that one. Don't wait until even these two are gone."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the cabin.
"Why are you so arrogant!" the girl cursed angrily, and also realized that this old lady must be from an unusual background.
Although he was not forgiving in words, he actually didn't dare to continue making trouble.
He glared at Qiu Yinong angrily and said to the boatman, "Give me the cabin you mentioned."
"Okay, okay." The boatman breathed a sigh of relief. He almost offended both sides.
Seeing that he didn't want to offend either side, Qiu Yinong said nothing and turned back to the cabin.
Qing Yuan stayed outside the cabin to guard.
The girl turned away angrily, and the old woman who took the silver and money glanced at Qing Yuan with a suspicious look.
He walked away behind the girl.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the other passengers returned to their cabins or went to the deck to continue watching the river view.
…
"Damn it! Go check who those people are." After settling down, the girl became angrier and angrier, and ordered the people around her.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will go and check it out right away." The woman who spoke was named Han, and she was the one who took the silver and money.
She also felt uncomfortable, feeling that she had lost face in public today.
