Chapter 53: Every man's mind
The third princess didn't rush over to beat someone, so it would be her who was embarrassed, she dealt with many women who took the initiative to come up, and none of the concubines in the palace were divided into An'an.
The more angry you are, the more you have to laugh on the surface.
The women standing on the side, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes are full of amusement, I didn't expect such a drama to be staged today, it's really not in vain.
With sharp eyes, he recognized that the person in the arms of the third prince was Zhou Xiwan, and couldn't help but look at the Bai family in the crowd, tsk, what does this mean, is it possible that General Zhou is optimistic about the three princes.
The Bai family naturally recognized his daughter, and couldn't help but be anxious, how could this girl do such a thing and be discovered, how can this be good, let the third princess bump into it, I'm afraid things won't go well.
The third princess walked over slowly, and asked with a smile before speaking, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Yo, what kind of girl is this? ”
The third prince let go of Zhou Xiwan casually, "This girl has fallen, this king helps her, princess, let people help this girl find a doctor." ”
"Why are you so careless, but also, this is the back house of the palace, the girl is not familiar with it, it is inevitable that there will be times when you bump into it, come on, Luping, help this young lady." The princess was smiling on her face, but secretly she was sarcastic about Zhou Xiwan running around without education.
"Lord, princess, is it a little girl, please forgive me princess, the palace is too big, this child may be lost, so he will come here." Bai Shi hurriedly stood up and pleaded guilty, but it was also to help Yuanhua, she didn't want her daughter to have a bad reputation, although she was bumped into by everyone now, but as long as she really married into the palace, sooner or later people would forget about it.
The Bai family can only cover his ears and steal the bell like this. Those ladies from high-ranking families are very disdainful in their hearts, in the end, they are daughters raised by concubines, so unseemly.
Zhou Xiwan lowered her head in annoyance, she was actually bumped into by so many people, which ruined her good deeds.
The third princess glanced at Zhou Xiwan and sneered in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be generous, "Forget it, today is my birthday, forget about it, I originally wanted to take everyone around the garden and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but now it seems that it is still singing and dancing." ”
This sarcasm really didn't give any face, and directly scolded Zhou Xiwan for dirtying her eyes.
She thought that the little maid informed her that the third prince had prepared a surprise for her in the garden was a drama directed and acted by Zhou Xiwan, in order to lure her over and let her admit it, but unfortunately, she was really afraid that the Zhou family would not succeed.
Zhou Xiwan clenched her fists and looked at the third prince with tears in her eyes, hoping that he could stand up and help him speak.
The third prince pretended not to see it, his wife was not as good as a concubine, and a concubine was better than stealing, just play secretly, but in front of his wife, he still had to give his wife face, he didn't want a fire in the backyard.
However, Zhou Jianxiong's face also has to be given, and the third prince took the hand of the third princess, "Is it okay for this king to accompany you to the play?"
The third princess nodded, glanced at Zhou Xiwan proudly, and left with the third prince, followed by several noble ladies, leaving the Bai mother and daughter standing there awkwardly.
"You, it's really useless, you messed up such a good opportunity?" Bai Shi nodded Zhou Xiwan's head vigorously.
"Who knew that the princess would suddenly bring someone over." Zhou Xiwan shouted unconvinced, she was depressed enough, and her mother still said about her.
"Mother, is this something someone deliberately harming me?" Zhou Xiwan suddenly thought, why did the princess appear here without watching the play.
"What do you mean?"
"It must be Zhou Xiya, only if she will do such a thing, she won't be able to see our mother and daughter have a good life, I don't believe she really has amnesia, maybe she is lying to us." Zhou Xiwan felt that everyone in this world was full of malice towards her.
"Let's go, let's go home first." Bai shook his head helplessly, her daughter still has a long way to go, and she protects her daughter too well. However, she felt that it would not be Zhou Xiya's doing, Zhou Xiya would not be so confused, using the reputation of the Zhou family as a bet to discredit them.
"Do you want to ask Zhou Xiya to leave with us?"
"No need, she has her own carriage, let her go back by herself later, let's leave first, don't leave the house during this time." Bai and Zhou Xiwan left the garden.
After the two left, Zhou Xiya appeared and walked out, she saw the previous scene from afar, but Zhou Xiya was not very happy, today's events did not meet her expectations.
She also wants Zhou Xiwan to successfully tempt the three princes, instead of letting people stir things up, this time the matter did not succeed, but it will have a bad reputation for the Zhou family, not only Zhou Xiwan herself is lost, but she, as Zhou Xiwan's sister, will also be affected, and if there is a sister who takes the initiative to throw herself into the arms of a man, she will also be embarrassed.
It's just that the princess suddenly appeared here, is it a coincidence, or is someone deliberately arranged, how can it be so coincidental. Zhou Xiya was also thinking about it.
And the initiator Li Aoxue has returned to the pergola and chatted happily with a group of little sisters, she did that before, not really to help Zhou Xiya, she was not so kind, not only did not help her, but harmed her, Zhou Xiwan lost people, Zhou Xiya's sister didn't want to hide from it, she didn't forget Xiao Jingqing's appreciation of Zhou Xiya, Zhou Xiya's family background is better than her, then she can only smear Zhou Xiya from the side and let Xiao Jingqing divert her attention, but on the surface, she still has to be friends with Zhou Xiya.
Zhou Xiya knew that the Bai family mother and daughter were leaving, and it was not good for her to stay in the palace to accept the strange eyes of others, so she also left, but did not return to the house, but went to the most prosperous East Market in the capital to go shopping.
After returning to the capital, she hasn't had a chance to go shopping, compared with her previous life, she is really homely.
The shops in the East Market are all boutique shops, and they sell high-end products, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, clothes and jewelry, all of which are among them.
However, Zhou Xiya found a difference, how do you feel that this place is a little different from what she saw in her previous life, there are more shops, and these shops are different from the traditional industry, a shop is selling a table clock, she also just returned to the house to know what a table clock is, and she was still very curious at the time, there is something that can show the change of time in detail. I didn't expect the shop that sells table clocks to be here, but I heard Mama Zhou say that this thing is very expensive, and not everyone can use it.
Curious, Zhou Xiya approached the shop, and the second child in the store warmly greeted her, "Welcome, two of you, please." ”
The store was full of all kinds of table clocks, and at this time, the table clocks in the store rang collectively, some popping up birds, and some ringing, which startled Zhou Xiya.
"Don't worry, this young lady, it's the hour." The shopkeeper is no longer surprised by this, and he was still surprised when he first came, but he admires the big boss even more, and it is amazing to be able to make such a strange thing.
"How much does this clock cost?" Zhou Xiya pointed to a very beautiful table clock, which was placed in the girl's room at first glance, and she also had one in her room, but it was not as beautiful as this.
"Miss is very discerning, this is the latest model in our store, and it is a limited edition style, a total of only ten units are sold, this is the last one, five hundred taels, not expensive at all." The shopkeeper's face is not red and his heart is not beating, he almost didn't jump up when he heard this price before, this is a money grabber, a table clock is five hundred taels, but now I have seen more, and I am used to it, there are more expensive than this, and the higher the price of the sale, the more people rush to ask, sell cheaply, but sell not fast, I really don't know what this is thinking.
Zhou Xiya's eyes couldn't help but widen, such a small thing was priced at five hundred taels, you must know that now one penny can buy two meat buns, and one tael of silver is worth a thousand yuan, although Zhou Xiya is not a foodie, but she feels that there are countless buns flying in her head now, it is really too dark.
She herself is also in charge of the shop, and she knows what the profits of doing business are like, and this thing must be profitable. She sells one thing, but she can't turn that much money, and it's good to have a tenth. That is, the antique shop under his control, which has not been open for three years, has been open for three years, and it happens to be able to make a lot of money.
"You are the only one in the capital of this watch shop?" Zhou Xiya asked casually, she wanted to get involved in such a good business.
"Yes, it's the only one, but we have branches in major cities, and we all have sales, but it looks less than in the capital, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the best things are here." The shopkeeper said proudly.
Zhou Xiya nodded, "Wrap it up for me, just go back and send someone to the General's Mansion." "In the entire capital, only her father can be called a general.
