"Miss, I came here to buy goat milk silk and pearl soap. I apologize for offending you just now. Please sell me a few pieces."
For the sake of her appearance, the woman was able to bend and stretch, and spoke in a calm and gentle tone.
Qiu Yinong looked at her and replied calmly, "The store will open in five days, and you can buy it yourself."
"Since the shop is yours, why can't you give some to my young lady in advance? It's not like we won't pay you. Just name your price."
Seeing that Qiu Yinong didn't give her any face at all, Chunxiang started to challenge him again.
Qiu Yinong also spoke calmly again: "I told you, the shop will open in a few days. If you want to buy anything, just go there by yourselves."
"There's a reason why you have to pre-order or wait for the soap. The soap isn't ready yet, and I won't give you half a piece of land no matter what you say."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the counter without paying any more attention.
Chu Hongyun soon followed, and Jing Xu walked to the rest area on the other side and asked the waiter to serve him a pot of tea.
One person drinks tea while the other plays chess.
The woman's expression changed again and again, but she finally suppressed her anger and yelled at Chunxiang to shut up again.
"Miss, you are the daughter of a prefect. You should just reveal your identity and put pressure on her. Why do you have to endure this?"
"This Qingquan Town is said to be the richest town in Huaiqin Prefecture. In my opinion, it is nothing more than that."
"It's almost as if poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people." Chunxiang said with disdain.
Qiu Yinong paused his writing for a moment, and Jingxu's hand on the chess piece also paused.
Chu Hongyun picked up the handkerchief, held her hand, and wiped off the ink that accidentally touched her fingertips.
"Qingyuan, go and bring a bowl of red dates and bird's nest for your master." Chu Hongyun instructed Qingyuan who was standing not far away.
Qing Yuan bowed quickly. The commotion here also attracted the attention of the prefect's daughter.
She frowned slightly, Master?
It’s not that I haven’t seen servants of merchants calling their masters “masters” before, but it’s not so open and aboveboard to call them that.
Could it be that this girl has another identity?
"Chunxiang, come here." The woman called to Chunxiang, and Chunxiang leaned over.
"Go find someone and ask them where the people in Tianxianglou come from."
Chunxiang's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly. She went to a servant and whispered a few words to him.
The latter quickly ran out.
After a while, the dishes were served.
It was indeed delicious. The young lady picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the sweet and sour spare ribs. Her eyes lit up instantly.
It was surprisingly delicious. She had never eaten such delicious ribs before.
After eating the spareribs, she tried other dishes. Every dish made her eyes light up. It seemed that the chef had some skills.
The prefect's daughter put aside her previous unhappiness and ate happily.
The servant came back soon.
"Miss, this Tianxiang Tower was bought by that girl as a gift for her fourth brother. Her family is just peasants in the countryside, but she has another identity."
"Oh?" The prefect's daughter put down her chopsticks and waited for him to continue.
The servant whispered again, "She was taken away by mistake and raised by the Zhao family, the richest family in Qingquan Town. She was only switched back not long ago."
"Originally, everyone in town thought the Zhao family had given up on their daughter, but in reality, they hadn't. The Zhao family still dotes on her like the apple of their eye."
"The real Zhao family girl also treats her as her own sister. Her family, once a poor peasant, is now prosperous because of the Zhao family's relationship."
"So you're just a pheasant that has taken over the magpie's nest. Do you really think you're a phoenix?"
"The Zhao family is also a foolish family. Such a vicious family actually protects her like a treasure."
Chunxiang sneered disdainfully.
The servant quickly said, "No, Sister Chunxiang, when they were fleeing famine, the mistress of the Zhao family and the wife of the Qiu family gave birth at the same time, and it was the midwife who got the baby wrong."
"That's why the two girls were swapped."
"That's shameless. Now that you have been exchanged back, why are you still clinging to the Zhao family?" Chunxiang glared at the servant.
The servant was sweating profusely: "Sister Chunxiang, please don't talk nonsense. This Zhao family is definitely not ordinary."
The magistrate's daughter was also curious and looked at the servant.
"Not long ago, the mistress of the Zhao family was granted the title of Fifth Rank Concubine by the Emperor."
The prefect's young lady's eyes widened instantly, and she almost stood up in shock.
"What did you say? She is a merchant's wife, how could that be possible!" Her mother still has not received the imperial edict.
How could a merchant's wife possibly receive an imperial decree?
No, no, there must be something fishy going on.
"Also, it seems that the Qiu family went to the capital not long ago, but no one knows why they went there."
The prefect's daughter looked towards the counter and her expression changed.
She had just felt strange, wondering how a little girl could so unconsciously exude such noble airs.
She is not simple.
His eyes left the counter and fell on Jingxu.
Recalling Jingxu's accent just now, she quickly determined that Jingxu was not from Huaiqin Mansion.
Go to the capital and obtain the imperial edict. Perhaps the secret lies with this young man?
No, how could it be possible? How could the imperial decree bestowed by the court bypass her father and go directly to the hands of the Wen County magistrate?
No, no, don’t act rashly.
I have to say that this young lady from the prefecture has some brains.
She quickly stood up, asked Chunxiang to put down the silver and money, and walked out of Tianxiang Tower without even saying goodbye.
Chunxiang looked puzzled and really didn't understand what was wrong with the young lady.
Chunxiang reluctantly put down the two taels of silver and chased after him.
