Chapter 27 Departure from the Capital



During the meal, Wang Simeng and Madam Wang had a very pleasant conversation.

Wang Simeng learned that the Wang family next door were actually relatives of Prefect Wang.

Prefect Wang was the eldest son in his family, and Wang Jianlin, who lived next door, was the second. One was an official, and the other was a businessman. Wang Jianlin was in the cloth business, and the cloth sold in Wang Ling'er's shop was sourced from Wang Jianlin.

After dinner, Madam Wang and Xiao Jin'er prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Goodbye, Sister Simeng~" Xiao Jin'er waved her chubby little hand.

"Goodbye, Jin'er! Come visit again anytime." Wang Simeng waved with a smile.

"Simeng, come visit me at my residence whenever you have time," Madam Wang said with a smile.

Okay~

Since its opening, the shopping mall has been bustling with people every day, and business is booming.

Every time Wang Simeng entered the shop, she felt happy seeing the lively scene.

October arrived in the blink of an eye. During this time, Wang Simeng either stayed at home, ate delicious food with Xiao Jin'er next door, or went out shopping with Wang Ling'er with two maids.

That night, I had hot pot with Xiao Jin'er and her son.

The next day, Madam Wang sent a servant with a rare piece of cloth from the capital—Ruan Yanluo. Gradually, the two began to get along amicably.

With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, Wang Simeng planned to first deliver Mo Beichen and Mo Mingxuan's goods to the capital, then travel around before returning to Qingshan City to hold a New Year's event.

Wang Simeng thought that this was the first New Year in ancient times, so it was necessary to make a good impression and hold an event to make the people happy, which would also allow them to earn some money.

"Shuang'er, go and call the steward, Uncle Chang Gui, over here," Wang Simeng said, calling Shuang'er over.

"Yes, Miss."

"Uncle Changgui, I have to go out for a few days. I'll leave everything at our residence to you. Here's the key to the storeroom. Please keep it safe."

On the day she moved into her new house, Wang Simeng put some money, snacks, and general merchandise in the storeroom.

In the past, the storeroom was managed by the housekeeper. Yesterday, Wang Simeng planned to put some more things in the storeroom before leaving, so she took the key from the housekeeper.

"Alright, Miss, don't worry. I wonder if you'd like to take a maid or servant with you when you go out? I'll go and prepare them." The butler said, taking the keys.

“Nothing needs to be prepared, I’ve already prepared everything.” Wang Simeng shook her head.

"Miss, aren't you taking me and Cui'er with you?" Shuang'er quickly asked upon hearing Wang Simeng's words.

"I won't be taking you this time, things are a bit urgent. Maybe next time, I'll take you next time."

"Yes, Miss, we'll wait for you to come back." Shuang'er knew that her young mistress was a very capable person, so she didn't insist that her mistress take her with her.

Seeing Shuang'er nod, Cui'er nodded as well, though she was somewhat disappointed.

Seeing Cui'er's expression, Wang Simeng comforted her, "I'll definitely take you out next time. This time it's a bit rushed, so be good and wait for me to come back."

Cui'er was deeply moved to see her fairy-like mistress comforting her.

My young mistress is so kind, so approachable, so wonderful—how could I possibly deserve her comforting me? Thinking this to myself, I quickly and apologetically replied, "Okay, Miss, please be careful on your journey."

Wang Simeng asked the steward for a map of Qingshan City to the capital. The map was a bit rough, with many places only roughly drawn, but it was enough for Wang Simeng to find the way to the capital. According to the map, Qingshan City was about 2,000 li (1,000 kilometers) away from the capital.

As night fell, Wang Simeng slowly flew towards the capital in her Golden Bell Cloud Flying Machine.

The Golden Bell Cloud Flying Vehicle can reach speeds of up to 500 kilometers per hour. Its direction and speed can be adjusted by the pilot's thoughts. Given a map, the vehicle will analyze several routes, which the user can choose and the vehicle will travel automatically.

The journey by carriage would take a month and a half, while Wang Simeng could reach the capital in as little as two hours.

Wang Simeng adjusted the speed of the Golden Bell Cloud Flying Vehicle to 100 kilometers per hour, deciding to travel over two nights. She planned to visit a town during the day and then continue traveling for another five hours at night, thus arriving directly in the capital.

Wang Simeng had calculated the journey perfectly. Sitting inside the spaceship, she activated the Golden Bell Shield, revealing an invisible, transparent protective membrane around her. She then pulled out a bag of fries and a bottle of fragrant milk tea from her spatial storage, eating while browsing online shopping pages.

Whether or not to buy the goods is one thing; whether or not to look at them is another. Wang Simeng planned to just browse casually and not buy anything. After all, she didn't lack anything.

"Wow! This high-tech phone is amazing! I have to buy it. I knew I was missing something. Turns out, I was missing a phone." Wang Simeng immediately pressed the buy button, and the phone was successfully obtained.

"Now I have everything I need." Wang Simeng felt very happy.

In the high-tech world, mobile phones are shaped like watches and can be worn on the wrist like a watch. They feature fingerprint unlocking.

After the phone is powered on, it automatically connects to the internet, and the screen appears in front of you. Music, videos, and offline games can be used without downloading or an internet connection.

Playing games can even allow ideology to enter the game world, making the player experience more realistic.

Wang Simeng was very satisfied with the phone, playing with it and eating snacks along the way, living a carefree life.

Meanwhile, Mo Beichen and Mo Mingxuan spent two days browsing the Wonderful Series shops in Qingshan City, and have now been away from Qingshan City for more than half a month.

Mo Beichen and his companion chose to return to the capital by carriage. They traveled along the way, stopping frequently, and rested in Liangzhou at one point.

Liangzhou, Tongfu Inn.

“Uncle, I saw that Miss Wang has a lot of novel items at the mall, but we’ve been looking around Qingshan City for two days and haven’t found anyone selling that lamp. Why don’t we ask her if she sells it before we leave?” Mo Mingxuan asked.

“Miss Wang has many novel items. Since she hasn’t chosen to sell them, she must have her reasons. We shouldn’t put her in a difficult position.” Mo Beichen gave Mo Mingxuan a look that said, “How could you be so insensible?”

"Huh??? Oh..." Mo Mingxuan looked completely bewildered.

In the past, when his uncle encountered something like this, he would definitely take the initiative to ask and try to buy it. Why is he acting a little different this time when he meets Miss Wang? Could it be that he has taken a liking to Miss Wang? Mo Mingxuan stole a glance at Mo Beichen, guessing in his heart, but dared not voice his thoughts.

Wang Simeng traveled for five hours to reach Liangzhou City. She stopped not far from the city gate, put away her flying vehicle, and flashed into her spatial dimension.

With some time still to go before dawn, Wang Simeng slowed down the spatial time speed and went to the array room on the fourth floor to read some array books for a while.

Suddenly remembering that since the system was upgraded to level 4, floors 5, 6, and 7 had been opened, but she hadn't gone up to check them out yet, Wang Simeng decided to go up and take a look.
