Chapter 26 It’s so weird

Calling Shi Qing to inquire about Mu Xichen's whereabouts, and learning that he was discussing state affairs with Emperor Zhaoqing in the imperial study, Lin Jiaying hesitated and finally decided not to disturb him.

She lay down listlessly on the desk and sighed, "Forget it, let's wait until he comes back."

Shi Qing asked Liuli with his eyes: What's wrong with the girl?
Liu Li whispered the matter, and Shi Qing said, "I'm going to ask Eunuch Yang if I can send a message to His Highness."

Lin Jiaying waved her hand, "No need to bother, I'll just wait for him."

Shi Qing kept Yang Deshun's words in mind. Miss Lin's matters were no matter how big or small. As long as she had a request, she must report to His Highness as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she wronged the girl, there would be no good consequences.

Therefore, even though Lin Jiaying repeatedly said not to disturb Mu Xichen, Shi Qing immediately went to the imperial study room.

Of course not just barging in.

What he is looking for is his immediate boss Yang Deshun.

His old man is on duty outside the palace.

"The girl didn't mean to rush her. She even said she would wait until His Highness returns..."

Yang Deshun nodded to express his understanding, "Wait here, we will come back when we go home."

"Yes."

Just when Lin Jiaying fell asleep out of boredom, Shi Qing came back, not only bringing her the token, but also a female guard.

Lin Jiaying woke up instantly. She looked curiously at this tall but ordinary-looking woman, "What's your name?"

The woman saluted, "Please give me a name, girl."

Hearing what she said, Lin Jiaying looked at Liuli in surprise, and Liuli explained to her.

It turns out that the secret guards have no names, only rankings. For example, the woman in front of me ranks thirteenth in martial arts, so she is called Shadow Thirteen. The name is just a code name. To the secret guards, whether she has one or not is the same.

But her identity is different now, so naturally she can no longer be called Ying Shisan.

It must have a serious name.

This name is usually given by the master.

Lin Jiaying was in a bit of trouble.

She doesn't know how to name people anymore.

"What's your last name?"

Shadow Thirteen shook his head, "My subordinates don't have surnames."

How could a person not have a surname? She didn't want to continue the surname, thinking there must be a hidden meaning behind it.

Lin Jiaying lowered her head and thought for a while, "Qingyu, I call you Qingyu, do you think it's okay?"

Originally she thought of a more saucy name, but then she thought about it, she was staying with her as a maid, and the name was special, which was not good, so she racked her brains for a long time and came up with the name Qingyu.

The names are similar to Liuli and Jade, but different.

"Qingyu thanks the girl for the name."

Seeing that she accepted the name, Lin Jiaying was also very happy, and she took her and Liuli out of the palace happily, "By the way, you two can help me figure out what gifts to bring for the first time."

Qingyu was not good at the worldly matters, so Liuli said, "Just be polite. After all, I'm not familiar with it. It's not appropriate to be too polite or too light."

Lin Jiaying nodded, "Then let's buy some wine, tea and dried fruits."

Liuli said "Hello" and then asked, "Do those young gentlemen and young ladies want backup gifts?"

"Then back up, it's our first meeting after all."

It's only human nature to show that you don't take the title of someone's eldest sister.

Lin Jiaying took out Mu Xichen's seal and went to the bank first, and then started shopping. Just choose the best drinks, tea, and dried fruits. No one would think the things were expensive, but she wanted to choose gifts for her younger siblings. It's not that easy.

"That's what you said. When meeting for the first time, it's inappropriate to be too polite or too polite."

Lin Jiaying felt that she was impulsive and should have waited until Mu Xichen had time to ask his opinion before taking action.

It's just that it has come out, and now it's too late to say this.

"Young men, just give them the Four Treasures of the Study. This is the safest." "Girls..."

Lin Jiaying thought for a while and said, "Let's give it a gold noodle set. No girl dislikes too much jewelry."

As she said this, she looked up and said, "It's getting late, let's split up. Qingyu goes to the bookstore to buy the Four Treasures of the Study, and Liuli and I go to the jewelry shop to buy some noodles."

"Four suites of study and four treasures, um, give her two thousand silver notes."

After saying that, she asked worriedly, "Is two thousand silver enough?"

Liuli said, "That's enough."

"It's better to give me a thousand more, just to be prepared."

Hearing what she said, Liuli took out another banknote and handed it to Qingyu, "It's getting late, we need to hurry up..."

Qingyu turned around and left, "Meet you here in a quarter of an hour."

Liuli opened her mouth wide.

Picking out jewelry is like picking out cabbage.

Lin Jiaying burst into laughter, "Let's go, let's hurry up."

The two of them entered the jewelry shop and asked the shopkeeper to bring out the latest model of gold-headed noodles. Seeing that both their master and servant were well dressed and had good looks and temperament, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect and hurriedly brought out the new ones. Several head noodle styles.

Lin Jiaying pointed to one of the heads and faces inlaid with shell beads and asked, "How much silver is this?"

"This set of head and face inlaid with shell beads is of the highest quality, both in terms of craftsmanship and materials..."

"Oh, who do I think I am? Isn't this the eldest lady from the Lin family who came from the country?"

A sharp voice suddenly broke in. Lin Jiaying, Liuli and the shopkeeper all looked up in surprise and saw five or six girls walking in together.

The leader is Xu Jiayi from Chengen Houfu.

Of course she was the one who spoke.

"Miss Xu San..."

Liu Li called her a name. Before she could speak, Xu Jiayi changed her face, "No wonder she was assigned to a wild girl from the countryside. She has no eyesight. She even called me by the wrong name. I don't know what you have been doing all these years." How did you survive in the palace?"

[There is something seriously wrong with this guy. He acts like a machine gun when he comes up, spraying everywhere. 】

Lin Jiaying now knows the relationship between the Cheng'en Houfu and Dingguo Dukefu, and also knows that Xu Jiayi is the niece of the current queen, so she doesn't want to get entangled with her, "Liu Li, pay the money."

The shopkeeper originally thought that the business would definitely not work out if the Marquis Chengen interfered like this. Unexpectedly, Lin Jiaying actually wanted to buy it, and she was so happy that she almost bared her teeth.

"Chenghui, 300 taels."

Liu Li's expression didn't change, "Four sets."

"what?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic, "One set of noodles is 300 taels, and four sets are 200 taels."

As she said that, she turned around and ordered, "Hurry and wrap up this lady's things."

"Yes."

Liuli took out a thousand-yuan banknote and two hundred-yuan banknotes from her purse. After confirming that they were correct, she put them together and was about to hand them to the shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly came over and took away the banknotes. .

"Miss Xu San! What are you doing?"

Liuli's face turned red with anger, "Give me back the money."

Lin Jiaying originally thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so she ignored Xu Jiayi. However, she wanted to settle the matter, but people thought she was easy to bully. She even took things away from her even if she cursed her!

It's simply not a thing.

"It's been robbed! It's been stolen! Everyone, come and catch the thief!"

Xu Jiayi was startled, "Who are you calling a thief?"

"Of course I'm scolding the money thief."
