Chapter 534: Chapter 534, Buy, Buy, Buy (38th Update)

Before, there was no way to resist, nor did anyone dare to resist; after all, two fists are no match for four, and an arm can’t twist a thigh.

But now things are different, Gaocheng County has got a Xie Zhinuan.

For those merchants who ingratiated themselves with the County Magistrate, the arrival of Xie Zhinuan was an absolute disaster.

With her arrival, would the Prince Regent follow suit?

To those who diligently and sincerely worked, it was hope, absolute hope. If His Highness the Prince Regent were to come, he would surely save them from the dire straits and let the corrupt officials who covered the sky with one hand be splattered with blood on the spot.

The Xie Residence sent out quite a few people to make purchases.

There are four essentials when setting up a household: clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. Right now, apart from the furniture, the residence was rather empty, so Xie Zhinuan dispatched quite a number of people to buy food, fabric, and various other things.

List after list was written, and in groups of three or five, people went out shopping with these lists in hand.

These individuals had been bought only a few days ago, but they knew one thing: as long as they worked hard, their master would eventually grant them their freedom.

Instantly, the residence became bustling with activity…

Xie Zhinuan had originally intended to keep a low profile, but she also understood that there was no way for her to remain inconspicuous at this time; thus, she simply went all out, accompanied by Jiao Shi, Mu Rourou, and Cui Meng on her shopping trip.

Jiao Shi spruced herself up, undergoing a change in appearance.

“Is this your actual appearance?” Xie Zhinuan asked.

“No, after the servant dressed up like this, do I look the same as before?” Jiao Shi asked.

Xie Zhinuan shook her head.

She truly was unrecognizable.

“Miss, that man surnamed Sun won’t let me be; he is bound to come knocking and cause trouble. The servant thought that after changing my appearance, he wouldn’t recognize me, and when the time comes…” Jiao Shi explained, reminding Xie Zhinuan to be cautious at this moment.

And Sun Yian was not a good person; he was capable of all sorts of vile deeds, a real mad dog. There was even more reason to be extremely careful.

“I understand; let’s go!” Xie Zhinuan whispered,

signaling to Jiao Shi that there was no need for further discussion.

Mu Rourou then came running over, asking to join them.

“Sure, let’s all go together!”

They weren’t far from the bustling street. After thinking it over for a moment, Xie Zhinuan decided to walk there, but they brought a carriage to follow behind in case they needed to rest.

She took two guards with her, and with their group of several dozen, it was certainly not an insignificant procession, although it wasn’t exactly grand either.

As soon as they entered the main street, Xie Zhinuan realized that when women had money in hand, they truly spared no expense.

Mu Rourou’s purchasing power was simply astounding.

She liked everything she saw and wanted to buy everything she saw, regardless of whether it was expensive or a mere one or two-wen piece of scrap silk flower, or even a doll made from cloth—she wanted it all.

Along the way, stall owners continuously called out to Mu Rourou, “Miss, come take a look over here!”

“Miss, take a look at this…”

“Miss, come over here and try our glutinous rice cakes—they are the best in Gaocheng County!”

Mu Rourou, with her delicate beauty, lit up at the sound, tasted a piece, and immediately exclaimed, “I’ll take it, all of it!”

“Right away!”

The stall owner responded promptly and wrapped it in banana leaves.

Mu Rourou also discovered someone selling wild hawthorns, tried one, tart and a bit astringent, “I’ll take that, all of it!”

She even learned to haggle.

“…” Xie Zhinuan rested her hand against her forehead.

Mu Rourou was simply out to experience life, a young lady who knew nothing of the hardships of the world.

However, the things Xie Zhinuan bought were all practical, even the small ornaments she chose. She picked out porcelain or bronze items, nothing extravagantly upscale, as true opulence is something to be accumulated, not something that just having silver can buy.

And she certainly had no intention of spending a lot of silver on things she simply couldn’t tell were real or fake.
