Chapter 231 Mid-Autumn Shopping
After Cheng Yunshuo came back, the first thing he thought of was to say to Du Ruo, "I found the sachet you embroidered for me."
"Did you find it?"
"I guess so. Someone else picked it up and will give it to me tomorrow."
Cheng Yunshuo gave an explanation, and after Du Ruo listened, she immediately felt something strange in her heart.
It seems that her master actually cares about her very much.
He remembered what she told him and did it.
But, he treated her like that yesterday, sleeping alone with his back to her.
He didn't even know how sad he made her!
She couldn't help but snort.
"What are you still angry about?" Cheng Yunshuo looked at her frowning expression and said, "How come you have learned the ways of the women in the backyard? You don't talk things out properly, but just throw a tantrum and make people guess."
"I didn't!" Du Ruo snorted coldly, "It's all your fault, Master."
"What's wrong with me? You told me that the sachet was lost, so I went to find out for you today. If you had explained it to me clearly, I would have fooled you."
Du Ruo thought about it and it seemed to be true.
It seems that she didn't understand.
She couldn't help but explain the frustration in her heart, "You fell asleep immediately after you came back yesterday and ignored me. I thought you were angry with me."
"How could I be angry with you? I was tired yesterday and just wanted to rest. The palace has been very busy these days. In addition to patrolling, I also have to move things. I have no rest every day." Cheng Yunshuo explained carefully.
After hearing what Cheng Yunshuo said, Du Ruo immediately lost his temper.
She even felt sorry for Cheng Yunshuo immediately, "Master, are you tired now? A Ru will give you a shoulder massage."
"No need, my little ancestor, it would be better if you stop giving me humiliation." Cheng Yunshuo said like coaxing a child.
Hearing the words of the little ancestor, Du Ruona's heart felt as sweet as honey.
She was no longer angry, no matter how much she wanted to be angry, she blinked coquettishly and hugged Cheng Yunshuo, "Master, you must be nicer to me, you don't know how sad I am when you treat me badly."
Cheng Yunshuo: "...Okay."
"By the way, I made a pair of socks for you, Master. Come and try them on!"
Cheng Yunshuo: "...Okay."
He coaxed Du Ruo like he was coaxing a child, and went with her to try on socks.
the next day.
Lu Lingyun arranged the carriages and horses and waited for everyone to arrive.
"Where's Aunt Du? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Everyone is gathered together, except Du Ruo.
"You won't be drinking alone again, will you?" Linglong fanned herself and looked at the arched gate.
The news that Du Ruo had been having trouble with Cheng Yunshuo these days spread to everyone in the mansion.
But everyone is used to this kind of thing.
Du Ruo and Cheng Yunshuo can't get along well for a few days, so there's no need to make a fuss.
These past two days, she was so busy that she was too lazy to even sew the lining of his socks for him and didn't even bother to ask them to help.
"If you don't come again, let's just leave." Qiu Ling couldn't help but say.
In her opinion, Du Ruo is confused after all. Her whole heart is focused on men. How can anything good come from this?
Maybe she cried and complained all night again, and couldn't get up in the morning.
It makes me angry just hearing it.
There was disgust in her tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Ruo ran towards them with a happy face, "Wait for me, I'm coming!"
Today, Du Ruo ran towards them happily, unlike the sad and resentful look she had in the past two days.
Linglong saw this and said, "He must have been coaxed again yesterday!"
Qiu Ling said, "What a loser!"
Lu Lingyun: "......"
Du Ruo happily ran over and said, "I guess everyone must be waiting anxiously. I got up late."
"You had a lot of trouble yesterday," Linglong said jokingly.
"No way." Du Ruo's face immediately turned red.
"You, once you have a man, you forget about everyone else." Qiu Ling said.
Du Ruo's face was so red that she wanted to find a place to hide. "Okay, at worst, if you guys like something later, I'll buy it for you."
"Okay, that's what you said." Qiu Ling and Ling Long said in unison.
Du Ruo hurriedly raised his head and added, "It's the same for everyone, and each item cannot exceed one or two taels of silver."
"cut!"
"Humph, this is your sincerity!"
Du Ruona's face couldn't get any redder. She couldn't help but glance at Lu Lingyun. Lu Lingyun looked at the three of them making a fuss and chuckled, "Okay, let's go."
After Lu Lingyun spoke, everyone stopped teasing Du Ruo and got on the carriage, holding up their skirts.
Lu Lingjun was in one carriage, while Du Ruo, Qiu Ling and Linglong and the other three concubines were in one carriage. There were also a few maids following the carriage, and the group left the mansion.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the streets are bustling and things related to the festival have already started to be sold in advance.
The lantern shops were filled with all kinds of riddle-guessing lanterns, and the snack shops were all stocked with moon cakes.
Some roadside stalls and vendors have also started selling crude handmade mooncakes made at home.
Lu Lingyun first ordered dozens of boxes of mooncakes from the newly opened fresh meat mooncake shop. In addition to using them for his own residence, he also wanted to give them to his relatives and friends.
For example, the Lu family, the Wang family, the Xu family, etc.
This year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Old Marquis Qin, Qin Shaojing and the others will all be back, so there is no need to send gifts to them individually.
In addition, we also bought some lanterns, firecrackers, and snacks for the festival.
After a while, all the things needed in the mansion were ready, and Lu Lingyun took the three concubines for a stroll and bought some things they wanted.
Qiu Ling and Ling Long got a promise from Du Ruo, which meant they would rip her off mercilessly. If she bought them something worth one or two taels of silver, they would have to spend one or two taels of silver on it.
Not more, not less.
Seeing how interested they were in calculating, Lu Lingyun was too lazy to interrupt them, so she let them ask for prices and compare prices on the street while she went ahead to the teahouse to rest.
"I'm going to have some tea first, you guys take your time shopping."
"Yes, Madam!"
Qiu Ling and Ling Long became more interested and went into a more expensive jewelry store.
Du Ruo followed behind, "You guys are almost done, the one just now was good enough."
"No, we have to spend your money, not a penny less."
Du Ruo said angrily, "Then you guys pick yourselves, and I'll go in to check out after you're done."
"Thank you, Aunt Du." Qiu Ling and Ling Long smiled at each other and went in to carefully select.
Du Ruo was standing at the street corner, wondering whether she should go to Lu Lingyun's place and sit there and wait together, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman in emerald green clothes walking towards her.
Hanging around her waist was a sachet that was crudely made and ugly in embroidery.
The woman in the emerald green uniform was walking towards him while talking to a young woman behind her. When they passed each other, Du Ruo grabbed the woman who was passing by.
She moved very quickly, and the woman in the emerald green uniform was completely unprepared. She was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder and turned around staggeringly.
Du Ruo looked at her angrily, "Why is my sachet here with you?"
But when she saw the appearance of the woman in front of her, she was stunned.
