"Shopkeeper, wrap it up!"
"Old Zhao, pay up!"
"Yes, sir."
The shopkeeper looked at the father and daughter and thought they were very pleasing to the eye. This young master and girl were obviously raised in a wealthy family.
"Old Zhao, this Chang'an Street is really bustling!" Yun Beiye said to Zhao Zhongquan, looking at the crowd.
“Yes, sir, this is much more lively than our courtyard.” Zhao Zhongquan originally wanted to say the palace, but then changed his mind and said the courtyard instead.
"Yes, after we've finished touring this place, let's go check out the place mentioned in the memorial."
"Yes, sir."
Yun Duoduo and Yun Yishu walked in front, while Yun Beiye and Zhao Zhongquan followed behind.
"Third Brother, Duoduo likes this butterfly hairpin." Yun Duoduo picked up a clay hairpin and held it up to her head.
"Boss, wrap this up." Yun Yishu nodded.
"Alright, young master, here you go!"
"Daddy, look at these two embroidered fans, which one is prettier?" Yun Duoduo saw a crowd gathered in front of her and squeezed in to take a look. It turned out to be a fan shop.
"Shopkeeper, wrap up every style of fan," Yun Beiye said.
"Zhao Zhongquan, take this to go."
Yun Duoduo carried the items, while Yun Yishu and Zhao Zhongquan paid behind her, much to the shopkeeper's amazement.
"Young master, you look like you come from a wealthy family. You're so generous!"
"Young lady, you are truly blessed!"
...
Along the way, Yun Yishu and Zhao Zhongquan were both carrying a lot of things in their arms.
"Master, this old servant will go and put these things on the carriage first, otherwise, our journey will be difficult."
Zhao Zhongquan spoke to Yun Beiye, and then had Yun Yishu put all the things into his arms.
The group continued walking, and the number of people on Chang'an Avenue increased.
Suddenly, Yun Duoduo spotted a shop with a very beautiful and exquisite exterior.
The shop's walls were painted pink, and bells and white feathers hung from the eaves, making it quite peculiar.
This shop is quite peculiar.
This shop is so beautifully decorated!
She was drawn to the shop, lifted her leg, stepped over the threshold, and went inside.
"Little sister, come in and have a look!"
Walking towards the clouds was a woman in her thirties. She had deep-set, bright blue eyes, very fair skin, and large, curly golden hair.
Wow, wow, he's a foreigner?
Beijing is still a big city; my great Celestial Empire attracts many foreigners.
This was the first time Yun Duoduo had seen a foreigner in Nanyang.
Yun Duoduo looked at the items in the shop. It was a shop that sold crystal balls. The shop was dark, and there were many mirrors and some pink or purple crystal balls on the shelves.
[Could this crystal ball be from a shrine maiden's shop?]
Is there anyone else in the shop? It feels eerie.
Yun Duoduo felt a chill all over her body, which suddenly reminded her of divination and Gypsy women.
"Little sister, this crystal ball can see your past. Would you like to take a look?" The beautiful foreign woman tempted Yun Duoduo.
In Nanyang, people believe in their past lives, and it is often described in folk tales that people would go to the Three Lives Stone or a fortune teller to find out about their past and future lives.
But Yun Duoduo is different; the world she lives in is completely different from ancient Nanyang.
Yun Duoduo shuddered. This won't do!
If her father and third brother saw her past life in the modern world, they would definitely think she was a witch.
"No, no, thank you."
Yun Duoduo quickly waved her hand, her heart pounding with panic, and turned to run outside.
Unfortunately, that foreigner grabbed Yun Duoduo's hand.
[Kamming, huh? Kick him until he's weak?]
[Raising position!]
Yun Duoduo listened to the foreigner's thoughts and was completely dumbfounded.
ha?
It happened quite suddenly.
What does this mean?
Say it again, what do you mean?!
Why doesn't this spying service come with a built-in translation system?
Yun Duoduo's head was like mush, and as she was thinking, two curly-haired, burly men suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
A few foreigners were chattering away, and I couldn't make out what they were saying.
Is this... them trying to take me away?
Yun Duoduo looked at the group's posture; they had ropes and other similar items in their hands.
Yun Duoduo felt a sense of foreboding.
"Duoduo?"
Yun Beiye turned his head and, not seeing Yun Duoduo, his heart clenched. He looked around frantically, [Where did Duoduo go?!]
[Oh dear, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Duoduo out!]
Yun Beiye called out anxiously, "Duoduo!"
He suddenly heard the sound of clouds.
"Father!"
Following the shout, Yun Beiye strode into the eerie and gloomy shop, grabbed Yun Duoduo, and hugged her tightly.
"Alright, it's alright now, Father is here."
Yun Beiye stroked Yun Duoduo's head and gently comforted her.
He picked up Yun Duoduo and walked outside, leaving the proprietress standing there in a daze.
Yun Beiye stood at the entrance of the crystal shop, looking at the store, just as Zhao Zhongquan returned.
"Master, has something happened?"
Seeing Yun Beiye's displeased expression, Zhao Zhongquan asked worriedly.
"Zhao Zhongquan, check this store for any cases of child trafficking," Yun Beiye whispered to Zhao Zhongquan.
