Chapter 241 The Prodigal Prince
The carriage moved slowly and finally stopped at Nanyi's most bustling commercial center.
Luo Lingyue lifted the car curtain out of curiosity and saw various stalls on both sides of the street selling snacks, accessories, clothes, etc.
She could also hear bursts of noise coming from the distance, some people were bargaining, others were shouting, it was very lively.
Suddenly, her eyes rolled, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.
She turned to the coachman and said, "Stop the car! I want to go down for a walk!"
The coachman stopped the carriage immediately, and Luo Lingyue couldn't wait to get off and walked towards the street.
Xiao Jinghan frowned, but still followed closely with his guards.
Luo Lingyue walked straight into the best gold shop on the street. The shop was decorated magnificently and displayed all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.
She started to choose excitedly, picking up a piece of jewelry and comparing it to the mirror from time to time.
Xiao Jinghan and the guards stood aside and looked at her, with helpless expressions on their faces.
Luo Lingyue walked into the gold shop with a proud look on her face. She threw out a gold ingot and said to the shopkeeper, "Take out all your best jewelry!"
When the shopkeeper saw the gold, his eyes lit up immediately and he smiled widely. He nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, wait a moment, young lady. I will ask someone to get it right away." After that, he turned to the waiter and shouted, "Quick, bring me the most valuable gold, silver and jade ornaments!"
After hearing this, the guys immediately took action. After a while, several large boxes of exquisite jewelry were placed in front of Luo Lingyue.
Luo Lingyue looked at the dazzling array of jewelry in front of her, nodded with satisfaction, and then began to carefully select. She looked at each piece, sometimes picking up a hairpin to try on her head, sometimes trying on earrings in front of the mirror, and she couldn't let go of each piece.
"Miss, you have really good taste. These are the treasures of our store!" the shopkeeper said flatteringly.
Luo Lingyue chuckled and said to the shopkeeper: "Well, not bad, but it's not enough. Is there anything better?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment, miss. I'll send someone to get it right away." After saying that, he gave a few more instructions to the waiters, and they hurried out.
After a while, the waiters came back with several exquisite boxes. The shopkeeper carefully opened one of the boxes, and inside was a hairpin inlaid with a ruby. The ruby was shining brightly and dazzlingly.
"Miss, this hairpin is inlaid with the finest rubies. It is absolutely a one-of-a-kind treasure!" the shopkeeper introduced proudly.
Luo Lingyue picked up the hairpin, examined it carefully, then shook her head slightly and said, "Well, this one... is still a little off."
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but continued: "Then take a look at the others, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Luo Lingyue opened another box, revealing a pair of emerald green earrings, crystal clear and beautiful.
"This pair of earrings is nice, but..." Luo Lingyue still seemed dissatisfied.
The shopkeeper asked nervously, "What do you think is wrong, young lady?"
Luo Lingyue frowned and said, "The color is too light. It would be better if it were a little greener."
Xiao Jinghan folded his arms across his chest, watching the scene in front of him expressionlessly, but from time to time he would cast his gaze towards Luo Lingyue, his eyes revealing an affection that was difficult to conceal.
"Wow, this jade bracelet is so beautiful! It's tailor-made for me!" Luo Lingyue screamed excitedly, pointing at a crystal clear, flawless jade bracelet. She picked up the jade bracelet lovingly, put it on her hand, and looked at it carefully against the light.
"And this golden phoenix hairpin is so beautiful! It is inlaid with dazzling gems and pearls, and the shape of the phoenix is lifelike, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high!"
Xiao Jinghan's mouth corners slightly raised, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Seeing Luo Lingyue so happy, his mood also became cheerful.
"Pack all of this up." Xiao Jinghan said softly to the shopkeeper, his voice low and magnetic. Although his tone was as calm as water, the majesty contained in it could not be ignored.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, saying he would obey, and immediately ordered the clerk to pack the items selected by Luo Lingyue. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he was lucky today to have met such a generous customer.
The guards behind Xiao Jinghan carefully carried boxes of exquisite jewelry onto the carriage. Each box shone with brilliant light, as if carrying endless luxury and beauty. These jewelry were made of precious materials, inlaid with gorgeous gems and pearls, and exuded an intoxicating brilliance.
The shopkeeper looked at the scene with a gleam of joy in his eyes. He smiled and asked, "Sir, how do you plan to pay this amount?" There was a hint of expectation in his voice, as if he hoped that the noble man could give him a satisfactory answer.
Xiao Jinghan glanced coldly at the servant standing beside him, and then replied calmly: "Record it to Marshal Xiao!"
This sentence was like a breeze blowing past, but it shocked the shopkeeper's heart. He immediately understood that the identity of this noble man was not simple, and he could have such a close connection with Marshal Xiao.
The servant pursed his lips and silently followed the shopkeeper to the counter to record the account. Although he felt a little helpless, he understood that his duty as a servant was to obey his master's arrangements.
At this moment, the whole scene seemed particularly quiet and solemn. A faint fragrance filled the jewelry store, making people feel relaxed and happy. Xiao Jinghan stood quietly aside, watching everything with indifference, as if the surrounding bustle had nothing to do with him.
Luo Lingyue sat in the carriage, looking calmly at the street view outside the window. She suddenly remembered something and said to the coachman, "Let's go to the best clothing store!"
Upon hearing this order, the coachman immediately drove the carriage to the destination. Luo Lingyue sat quietly in the carriage, thinking about what to do next.
Soon, the carriage arrived in front of a clothing store called "Ruyifang". The store looked very grand, with red lanterns and a golden sign hanging at the door, which was very eye-catching.
Luo Lingyue and Xiao Jinghan got off the carriage and walked into the clothing store. The interior of the store was very delicately decorated, with all kinds of clothes hanging on the walls, which was dazzling.
When the waiter saw someone coming in, he immediately went over to greet them and asked enthusiastically, "Madam, what kind of clothes do you need? We have the latest styles of winter clothes here, and we guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Luo Lingyue looked around and said to the clerk, "I want to see all the winter clothes in your store."
The guy was a little surprised when he heard this, but he nodded quickly and took Luo Lingyue to a display area.
The exhibition area is filled with winter clothes of various colors and styles, including fox fur cloaks, brocade cotton-padded jackets, etc., all made of fine fabrics.
Luo Lingyue carefully selected the clothes, picking up a piece of clothing from time to time to test it, while the waiter kept introducing the characteristics and advantages of each piece of clothing.
In the end, Luo Lingyue made a big splash and bought all the winter clothes!
When the clerk heard this, he showed a pleasant surprise on his face. He knew that this lady must be a big customer, so he quickly agreed: "Madam, please wait a moment, I will install it for you right away!"
Luo Lingyue nodded and walked out of the clothing store. She stood at the door, waiting for the clerk to bring out the clothes.
After a while, the guys came out with dozens of packages of clothes and handed them to the guards.
Of course, this time it’s still Xiao Jingyi’s fault!
