Since it's his granddaughter's birthday, Wu naturally has to prepare a gift. Qiao Xin thought that there was a generation gap between her and her grandchildren's aesthetic tastes that was even greater than the bark of an old tree.
Girls of their age may not like what they like. It is better to take them to the shop and let them choose by themselves. They just need to pay!
Qiao Xin deliberately chose a sunny day and went out with servants, maids, and a large group of people. She even arranged for guards to lead the way in front to avoid bumping into others or preventing any emergencies.
This was already arranged according to Qiao Xin's most low-key request. If everything was arranged according to her current second-rank Hao Ming's ceremonial procession, there would be more people, making travel more troublesome and more conspicuous!
It wasn't that Qiao Xin was showing off, but she was bringing her granddaughter with her today, so the necessary safety measures had to be in place. Also, the place they were going to was the largest jewelry store in Beijing, and those who entered were either rich or noble. She had to show off a bit!
But in the end, Qiao Xin did not ask Butler Yu to prepare so many carriages. It was more than enough for several masters to take Nanny Qin to sit in the big carriage given to her by His Majesty.
All the servants in the Qiao family are strong and know some martial arts skills. The personal maid of the third daughter of the Qiao family is one in a hundred. She was promoted from among the servants after passing layers of tests.
Going out for a stroll, taking a walk, these small requests are necessary for the masters, but when it comes to them, they become pretentious.
He can't even walk three or two miles, but he's still thinking about protecting his master. Who is protecting whom?
So Butler Yu responded to everyone's request and worked hard for a few days to build a carriage.
It seems like I haven’t adjusted it yet!
When Nanny Qin came to check, she smiled and comforted him, "It doesn't matter if we are not satisfied, as long as the old lady is satisfied. It's not easy to persuade him to set up a ceremonial procession. It's good to have these. If she hadn't been traveling with the young ladies, the old lady would probably just ride a horse!"
Butler Yu chuckled and said, "That's right, there is no master as worry-free as ours. Take another look and see if you still need anything?"
"It's all right. Once the carriage that His Majesty has given us is unveiled, who dares to ignore it?"
.....
Not far from the Qiao residence, Tianmen Street was bustling with traffic and people. The shops on both sides of the street were lined up one after another, and the buildings had flying eaves, which was very beautiful.
Looking at the people coming in and out, they are surrounded by people and their attire shows that they are either rich or noble. If you are dressed shabbily, you will probably feel cramped when you walk into the shops here.
Qiao Xin is busy on weekdays and seldom takes the children out shopping. Instead, it is Zhang who is most familiar with this place in the mansion. The Qiao family's rouge shop is also on this street, but it is located in a remote area and not in the core area.
Looking at her granddaughter who looked a little restrained, Qiao Xin clapped her hands and smiled, saying, "Lift your heads up. What are you thinking of being so timid? Remember, no matter how beautiful the shop is, it is to attract people to spend money, so we are the ones who pay the money. Yin'er, you own a shop, so you should understand this principle better than your grandmother!"
"Grandma is right!"
"Madame Qin, I regret a little that I didn't listen to you and bring them out to see the world earlier!"
Nanny Qin said, "Madam, the young master is still young, there is no need to rush. The old Lord never goes to the store in person to buy things, but always has people deliver them to the door for selection."
Qiao Xin joked to herself: "I just like to go around the shops like this. I'll never be elegant in my life. At this age, I won't embarrass myself!"
A few people got out of the car chatting and laughing, and as soon as they entered the gate of Guzhenzhai, they saw a good show!
The two little girls from the Dingbian Marquis's family and the little girl from the Fuguo Duke's family started arguing on the spot over a hairpin.
The teenage girls are all of noble birth. One of them has a father who holds great power, and the other has a father who is a veteran of the current dynasty. In fact, both families are nobles and founding heroes of the dynasty.
There was a procession of ceremony behind this, and the little girl was very competitive. It was a matter of both parties' face, so naturally they were unwilling to give in.
However, as they argued, the two sisters from Dingbian Marquis's Mansion had a disagreement.
It was obviously the elder sister who caused the trouble, and the younger sister stepped forward to help, but she was stabbed in the back by her elder sister on the spot and was sold out as a favor!
The eldest lady and the other girls felt that the young girl's thoughts were not right, but they couldn't put their finger on it. However, how could this little trick be hidden from the eyes of Qiao Xin and Nanny Qin?
The first floor of Guzhenzhai was very spacious. Originally, there were only a few groups of people choosing jewelry and antiques, but the dispute here had already attracted a lot of people's attention. In addition, there was an old lady eating snacks next to her with shining eyes and very interested. This attracted people's curiosity even more!
"You're smart, otherwise I would have asked my eldest brother to come and make the decision for me!"
"Sister Yao, you misunderstood. This hairpin was originally bought as a birthday gift for you. Since you like it, it can be considered to have found a good home."
"Sister, didn't you say you wanted it? How did it become hers?"
"Shut up, when did I say I wanted it? You were just guessing!"
The youngest girl looked at the older sister who stopped him from speaking in disbelief, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes: "I..."
"Forget it, I don't want this hairpin anymore. Otherwise, if it gets out, I'll be branded as someone who is trying to sow discord between you sisters!" After saying this, the young lady from the Duke's Mansion handed over the hairpin herself, but she dropped it on the spot whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Tsk tsk tsk, that’s too much!
This arrogance and domineering attitude is too much. Director Qiao Xin, who was watching the show, thought this girl was quite interesting.
