Chapter 410: One Strike
Song Ruize rode away on his horse without even glancing at Tang Yichen.
Tang Yichen asked Qin Huiyin to borrow his horse, then he mounted the tall horse and chased after Song Ruize. When he rushed forward, he brushed past Song Ruize.
Qin Huiyin looked at this scene and shook her head: "Compared to the scenes in the original plot where they plotted against each other to the point of death, this kind of elementary school students quarreling is still quite nice."
Li Taohua took her two daughters shopping. Her mouth had blisters from all the gift-picking she'd been doing, and they'd only gotten better after she drank the heat-reducing tea Tang Yixiao had prescribed. Now she had to buy some new clothes and jewelry, lest her daughters be ridiculed as country bumpkins whose clothes and appearance were so unfashionable. Her daughters couldn't be criticized for any mistakes in etiquette.
"Madam, we have just received new goods in our store today. Please come in." The shopkeeper received the elegant mother and daughter Li Taohua attentively.
Qin Huiyin looked at the person in front of her doubtfully and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young lady, you have good eyesight. This is the Rong family's shop, and I work for President Rong. I went to see President Rong before, and you met me once."
"I see." Qin Huiyin said, "Then take out all the good things you have here!"
The shopkeeper ordered his servants to bring out all the new products.
Li Taohua had also seen good things before. Seeing the jewelry in front of her, she said, "The style is beautiful and fresh, but the material is lacking. This pearl is too small, this jade isn't transparent enough, and this coral... Shopkeeper, bring out the best you have, don't hide it."
"Shopkeeper, are our things ready?" An old maid came in and said to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "Madame Gong is here. Don't worry, all the jewelry ordered by your master is ready. Please check it first. If there are no problems, you can take it away."
Nanny Gong glanced at the people around her. She originally thought that if it was a lady or young lady she knew, she would greet her. However, she found that they were unfamiliar faces and had never seen them before, so she looked away.
No...someone looks familiar.
Nanny Gong turned around again and looked at Li Taohua in front of her.
She looked at it carefully and identified it carefully.
This appearance, this figure, is exactly the same as the person in my memory. But, isn't that person dead?
Li Taohua noticed the gaze from the side and looked over in confusion. When she saw the familiar old face, she clenched the handkerchief tightly, and there was a moment of panic in her eyes.
However, it happened in a split second and no one noticed it at all.
From the moment Li Taohua decided to return to the capital, she knew it was a matter of time. She had already made preparations, but when she saw these "old friends", she couldn't help but panic.
No, this is not possible.
The old man's eyes were blurry and he couldn't notice anything unusual about her. If it were that scheming woman, she would definitely discover her identity from these small details.
She still needs practice.
"Boss, do you have anything better here? If not, we'll go look somewhere else." Qin Huiyin said.
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll take it out right away."
The shopkeeper had seen Qin Huiyin before, but he didn't know her true identity. He had been in the capital for many years and knew all the noble ladies there. Since this face was unfamiliar, he assumed she wasn't from an aristocratic family, so he only selected some moderate styles to display. He was also worried that if he offered something too expensive, the other party wouldn't be able to afford it, which would only embarrass her.
However, a closer look revealed his mistake. Although the ladies in front of him were not dressed to impress, their clothes were made of the finest fabrics, every inch of which was worth its weight in gold.
The shopkeeper took out new jewelry, and Li Taohua was satisfied with the new jewelry. She took a hairpin and tried it on Tang Luwu's hair, then took a bracelet and put it on her wrist.
"Mom, I don't need to wear so many." Tang Luwu said with a smile, "I already have a lot of jewelry. If you buy me more, I will have to grow several more heads to wear them all."
"A girl can never have too much jewelry. When you get married, you will take all these things with you. They are all your property." Li Taohua said, "You are the only silly girl who is honest. Now you start to complain about it."
"Mom, I don't think it's too much. Please buy me some more." Qin Huiyin acted coquettishly.
"Buy it yourself." Li Taohua said unhappily, "How can I afford so much money to buy it for you?"
When Madam Gong heard the two little girls next to her calling her mother, the doubts in her heart disappeared.
It can't be her.
If it were her, not to mention where she would give birth to a child at such a big age, it would be impossible for her to give birth to a child with her physical condition.
But this person looks too similar.
After Nanny Gong left, Li Taohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she felt even more depressed when she thought about the upcoming birthday banquet at the Censor's house.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will officially reunite with that person this time.
"Boss, pack all these up and send them to the Tang residence for me," Li Taohua instructed the shopkeeper. "If you have any good quality jewelry, you can send it to the Tang residence for us to choose from."
"Okay, ma'am." The shopkeeper took their address and had a plan in mind.
The mother and daughter continued to stroll around and ate outside at noon. They tried the local delicacies, but they had spoiled their appetites and felt that the food was tasteless, so they decided to have a barbecue at home in the afternoon.
The mother and daughter enjoyed this comfortable life.
Li Taohua was flipping through the barbecue in her hand while watching the two sisters picking flowers and having fun in the garden.
"Yinyin, where did you go to play last night? I saw my little brother acting suspiciously, as if he had done something wrong. I thought he was in trouble and even gave him a lesson, but he said you took him out to play. I asked him where you went to play, but he kept silent. Tell me the truth, what did you do behind my back?" Tang Luwu asked.
"Let's go..." Qin Huiyin said close to Tang Luwu's ear.
Tang Luwu exclaimed, attracting Li Taohua's attention.
"What's wrong?" Li Taohua asked.
Qin Huiyin quickly said, "It's nothing. Sister Luwu was pricked by a thorn on a flower."
Tang Luwu's cheeks flushed red as she pinched her face and said, "You're so brave! Is that a place we can go to? If big brother knew about this, he would definitely punish you by making you copy books."
Qin Huiyin: "...So, don't let him know, otherwise I won't be able to go out and play in the future."
"You still want to go play?" Tang Luwu was shocked.
"That Mr. Bai Qiu is really an interesting person." Qin Huiyin said, "After all, it's just to listen to music. Two taels of silver for an entire night of music is a good deal!"
