"You damn girl, you actually dared to snatch the horse from me. Do you know who I am? We bought a lot of horses. If you don't give up this horse, we won't buy these horses!"
Then he set his eyes on the shopkeeper.
"You decide for yourself whether you want to sell this one or all the horses to me."
Upon hearing this, the boss became obviously very embarrassed. Chu Weiyue sneered disdainfully and took out a thick stack of silver bills from his arms.
"Boss, don't be afraid of him. At worst, I can buy all your horses! Are you acting like someone who has no money and looking down on others?" Chu Weiyue put his hands on his hips and confronted them aggressively.
The man became angry and pointed at the pony next to him and shouted at it.
"You are just a little girl. What's the point of buying so many horses? I think this pony is suitable for you. Go wherever you like. Don't delay our business. I need these horses urgently!"
Chu Weiyue despised him silently in his heart. Wen Chenxuan was in a hurry to rebel, so of course he was in a hurry to use these horses.
She sighed helplessly and continued to compete with him.
"I'm so sorry, I'm in a hurry to get these horses. I'll buy more horses later and open a horse racing hall. You can come and support me!"
"Do you know who we are? How dare you steal horses here? If you don't leave, I will be rude to you!"
Seeing that Chu Weiyue refused to budge, the other party could no longer control his anger, and the fire in his eyes rose to his head.
Chu Weiyue raised her chin with contempt: "Then do you know who I am? My name is Chu Weiyue, and I am the future princess of Wen Jingchi. The only one who can be rude to me is the emperor. Are you the emperor? But the emperor doesn't look like you..."
There was a violent shock in the man's eyes. He never dreamed that he would meet Chu Weiyue. Of course, he had heard of her name.
No wonder this woman is so fierce and aggressive!
Since he couldn't afford to offend him, he could only avoid him. He snorted in dissatisfaction and fled with his men.
Watching their backs gradually going away, Chu Weiyue's expression was somewhat unpredictable.
He glanced at the boss and asked with pretended curiosity.
"Boss, who is this man? He is so arrogant. Is he a bully here?"
The boss was at a loss for words and scratched his hair awkwardly: "Miss, I'm not too sure about this. We've only met a few times when we were doing business. I know they are a caravan from the Western Regions and they seem to need horses to carry goods. I don't know anything else..."
Chu Weiyue couldn't help but sneer coldly: "That's just nonsense!"
Ordinary people may not know this, but she knows it very well. In the society she lived in in the past, geographical knowledge was not learned in vain.
Their place is equivalent to the Central Plains. To the east is a vast ocean, and to the west is a desert covered with yellow sand. Except for camels, other animals coming here would be sending their heads off after walking a few steps, let alone carrying any cargo.
Horses are only needed when marching or traveling an 800-mile express route. Such a large quantity must be used for fighting.
She should have bought camels to carry the goods! She had just gone to the place where the camels were sold and found that there was no movement there, which was enough to show that something was wrong.
He bought the best Arabian horse, paid the money and asked the owner to send it back home. He also bought an old felt hat and put it on his head, then quietly followed the caravan.
They were big men with beards and messy hair, and they were dressed like people from the Western Regions, but there was nothing unusual about the accent they spoke just now, it was almost the same as theirs.
The caravan stopped at a large restaurant, ordered several plates of beef and wine, and the group began to eat and drink.
They were sitting in a private room. Chu Weiyue did not go in, but peeked through the window at the back and found that their behavior and eating habits were exactly the same as theirs.
One of the men, in particular, almost vomited after taking a bite of the mutton. The others also laughed. They had only eaten a few bites of the mutton and were obviously unable to stand the smell.
This made Chu Weiyue frown and mutter in confusion.
"How could people from the Western Regions not like to eat mutton?"
The staple food there is beef and mutton, and most of them are Muslims and don't eat pork at all, but you won't know how delicious it tastes to them.
There is no need to think too much, it is almost certain that they are not from the Western Regions!
After observing for a while, she found that among these ten people, all of them spoke with accents from the capital, and their pure tones were better than those of her, the daughter of a marquis.
After a few clicks of the tongue, Chu Weiyue had a general understanding of their background. Without hesitation, he left quietly.
As soon as Chu Weiyue returned to the Marquis' Mansion, a pungent fragrance almost sent her away.
After sneezing several times in a row, he rubbed his nose and found that Chu Ranxin was wearing new clothes.
She wore a beautiful and luxurious phoenix hairpin on her head and a gold collar as thick as a dog chain around her neck, which made Chu Weiyue think of the word "walking the dog"...
The clothes they wore were inlaid with gold threads and sparkled in the sun.
She looks good, but she has a charming and tender appearance, full of girlishness. When she puts on the golden clothes, she looks ten years older!
When she found Chu Weiyue coming back, she immediately smiled arrogantly, wishing she could raise her head to the sky.
"Oh, it's my sister who's back! Look at my clothes. They were all given to me by my prince. He also designed and made the jewelry for me personally. It's said that he spent 10,000 taels of silver on them! And this pair of gem bracelets, each of which is worth a lot of money..."
She deliberately exposed her fair wrists and neck, on which she wore five thick bracelets inlaid with various gemstones, all blue and red.
Such a gaudy outfit made Chu Weiyue almost burst out laughing!
"Sister, you look so beautiful in this outfit, like a fairy from heaven or a beauty from the Bamboo Fragrance Tower..."
Zhuxianglou is a newly opened brothel, and the girls inside are all as beautiful as fairies.
This was clearly a satire on Chu Ranxin's weird appearance, but she only listened to the word "beauty". She was so proud that she wanted to lift her tail up to the sky, and was completely intoxicated in her own stunning beauty.
Chu Weiyue felt a bit of sympathy in her heart. It was really awkward and ugly for a young girl to dress up as the wife of a nouveau riche!
At this time, Song happened to come over.
Chu Weiyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Sister, the way you are dressed today makes you look like a sister to your mother!"
"No, you should be the elder sister and your mother should be the younger sister!"
Chu Ranxin was excited and didn't expect Chu Weiyue to say this suddenly.
It took him a while to react, and he was so angry that he threw a cup.
She yelled at Chu Weiyue's receding back: "Chu Weiyue, I think you are just jealous that I am prettier than you! You are an out-and-out old woman, old and ugly..."
