Chapter 21: Buying Cloths
Jiang Shuyao secretly glanced at Xie Xun's face fearing that he would blame her.
She secretly regretted it. Who would have thought that she would meet a man who had been entangled by the original owner as soon as she went out?
Xie Xun's chest was tight.
He knew about the absurd things Jiang Shuyao did before she got married. Since he married her, he wouldn't count on her previous affairs. Besides, marrying her is nothing more than avoiding the Queen's gift of marriage, just to deal with it. Now he shouldn't be angry about it.
He was sulking, and Jiang Shuyao was also a little embarrassed, but she was quickly attracted by the dazzling array of gold ornaments.
She was dazzled by the jewelry on display. These hand-made jewels can be so exquisite and gorgeous. Hairpins, hairsticks, back combs are extremely luxurious, hooks inlaid with beads, and complex craftsmanship.
The shopkeeper knew that she had an extraordinary background when he saw her. He came to her and asked politely, "Madam, did you want to buy some jewelry? Why don't you go up to the second floor and look at the store's collections on the second floor."
Jiang Shuyao nodded and agreed. Having money feels so good.
The shopkeeper led her up to the second floor, and her maid naturally followed behind. Xie Xun paused and followed.
Ordinary people can't step on the second floor. There are guards outside the door. After opening the door, you can see several sets of wooden cabinets.
The shopkeeper's lead Jiang Shuyao to sit down, opened one of the wooden cabinets with the key, brought it over and placed it on the table to show Jiang Shuyao.

Xie Xun was standing aside and bored. He wanted to leave to go to the teahouse and wait for her. Before he could speak, Jiang Shuyao suddenly stood up and walked towards him.
The room is different from the liveliness on the first floor, it is very quiet, and there is no sound when people step on the Persian carpet.
Jiang Shuyao stood still in front of him, Xie Xun turned his head and met her obsessive eyes.
Her skin is white and tender, and her eyebrows were dazzling. When Xie Xun is close to her, he discovered that she has a thin layer of rouge today. Her facial features are delicate and beautiful, and her eyes were full of waves.
Suddenly his heartbeat slowed by half a beat.
It was the first time that he was looked at by Jiang-shi like this, the obsession in her eyes was amazing and it has no restrain.
It should be so. She wanted to marry him at the risk of her life, how could she not like him?
He thought this way, and a flush quietly raise up at the back of his neck.
As for the right and wrong in the past, it was nothing more than the little girl's ignorance. There is nothing he can't compare to those people—
He was still thinking about it, and Jiang Shuyao pushed him away.
Then she bypassed him, and cast her obsessive gaze on the beaded headgear of a golden qilin and phoenix pattern behind him.
Xie Xun: ...?????????
"Shopkeeper, I want this set of headgear." Jiang Shuyao's eyes glued to the luxurious and exquisite hair accessories, authentically surprised.
＊
A group of people walked out from the jewelry shop. Jiang Shuyao bought the beaded hair jewellery she liked. The maid also feasted her eyes. Their faces are happy and cheerful, but Xie Xun's face looked strange.
Jiang Shuyao was about to step into the cloth shop, but Xie Xun suddenly stood still, and said to her calmly, "I'm going to that bookstore to find a book. If you have something, ask someone to call me." After he said that, he fled.
Jiang Shuyao watched him leave without thinking anything. After all, men don't like shopping, especially jewelry and clothes.
She is wealthy and could spends money like dirt. She started to buy left and right as soon as she entered the cloth shop. No matter the price, just let people wrap it up. The shopkeepers are prancing around following her everywhere.
Jiang Shuyao has bought enough clothes and jewelry, so she thought about going to the spice shop to see if there are any spices that could be used as ingredients for cooking.
As soon as she walked towards the door of the cloth shop, she was stopped.
Jiang Shuyao looked for the voice and saw a young girl staring at her.
Bai Zhi saw that Jiang Shuyao is looking confused, and whispered, "This is Tao family's young miss. Young lady had quarreled with her because of young master that day. Did you forget?" Bai Zhi said tactfully. That day was not as simple as arguing. It was pulling each other's hair directly and fighting.
Jiang Shuyao was speechless. This trip was too difficult. She met the original owner's rotten peach blossom on the front foot and Xie Xun's admirer on the back foot. From now on, she should stay at home to raise her tummy.
Jiang Shuyao nodded to Tao Junyu, turned around to leave, but she was stopped, "Wait!"
"You..." Rivals are extremely jealous when they met, and Tao Junyu's gaze swept over Jiang Shuyao's hibiscus face, and even more resentful, "You don't stay at home and stay there, come out and misbehaving. You still think that young master Xie didn't get enough critism caused by you. Or did you feel overwhelmed after marrying young master Xie and came out to swagger in the market?"
Jiang Shuyao didn't want to entangle with a stranger and didn't talk. She just lead her maid out.
Tao Junyu is even more annoyed when she saw her like this. She stepped in front of her, and was about to speak, but she was berated by the man behind her, "Little girl, don't be rude."
The man didn't know Jiang Shuyao, and only saw that his little sister was being rude. He hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Jiang Shuyao, " My little sister is spoiled, I hope Madam will forgive me."
Tao Junyu is a little afraid of her elder brother, and she didn't dare to let him know that she is jealous because of Xie Xun. She glanced at the cloth shop shopkeepers, who took the cloth and wrapped them up one by one, and said aggrievedly, "How can there be such a domineering person? She picked all the nice cloth in this cloth shop."
Young Master Tao was also surprised at Jiang Shuyao's magnanimity, and when his younger sister complained, he couldn't laugh or cry, "What's the matter with you? We can't force people to buy or sell. If this shop is not what you want, let's change shop."
Tao Junyu didn't dare to whinge anymore, she just pouted, "No need, today I was picking cloth and tailoring clothes for my elder brother." After that, she added sourly, "Some people just care about themselves, but don't buy anything for their husband. It's ridiculous. It's great just to have a few stinky money."
"Little girl!" Young Master Tao's face turned dark, and he couldn't believe that his little sister was so mean and rude. He was about to apologize to Jiang Shuyao again, but suddenly he heard Jiang Shuyao said, "Ha, you reminded me."
She turned and walked towards a wall where the most expensive men's cloth are hung. "I really should buy some clothes for my husband."
She raised her hand, and her sleeves fall, revealing a slender wrist with a jade ring. She tapped her finger lightly, "This one, this one... and this one."
It seems like she ordered a few pieces of cloth at random, but Tao Junyu took a closer look and found that these cloths are all slightly poorly made cloth.
Oh, her eyes seems to be nothing more than that.
The sneer on her face was not hidden, but she heard Jiang Shuyao continue to say, "Except for those few, I want the rest."
Tao Junyu's face suddenly stiffened, and her expression was a bit distorted and extremely funny.
The shopkeeper was also shocked and looked at Jiang Shuyao in surprise.

Bai Zhi is surprised, "What are you doing? Our young lady's family is the Lin family. Do you think we can't even get this money?" The Lin family, is the richest merchant in the world, is rumored to be extremely rich.
The shopkeeper sighed with relief, and hurriedly asked people to take down the cloth covering the wall.
Tao Junyu was dumbfounded, and said to Jiang Shuyao, "You, are you crazy?"
Jiang Shuyao smiled, "Sorry, it seems that Miss Tao and Young Master Tao can only find another cloth shop, or you can buy the cloth I didn't choose."
Tao Junyu was so angry at her violent appearance with her wealth, "Don't you just have a few stinky money? Why are you so arrogant?"
Jiang Shuyao carelessly corrected her, "I don't have a few stinky money, I have a lot of stinky money. Besides, it is not important for money to be stinky. Stinky, not stinky, it is still easy to use."
Tao Junyu was choked by her. After a while, she said, "How can you buy so much? Why bother to waste money in order to run on me."
"Look at what you said, why am I did it for you? I did it for my husband. To please him, why would it matter to spend some money? "Jiang Shuyao played the speech from a lovestruck woman effortlessly, "What if these cloths are not used? As long as I am willing, I can sew the uppers for my husband to make shoe soles, so my husband will be happy."
Everyone was startled by what she said, they were all stunned.
"Cough..." Hearing from the maid that someone was bullying Jiang Shuyao, Xie Xun, who hurriedly stepped into the cloth shop, saw this scene and was choked and coughed.
He suppressed the itching in his throat, desperately pretending to be calm.
Young Master Tao stood aside and looked at Jiang Shuyao's beautiful and charming face. There is a feeling of envy in his heart. He didn't know who is the husband of this woman, but he really married a good wife.
He was thinking about it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xie Xun. He was quite pleasantly surprised, "Master Xie." He had always admired Xie Xun's talent, he wanted to make friends but didn't have the chance to meet Xie Xun. He hurried walked forward to talk today.
Jiang Shuyao was taken aback when she heard this call and looked up, only to find that Xie Xun had appeared at the door.
Thinking of what she said just now, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to place her hands and feet.
Xie Xun didn't know Young Master Tao, so he just nodded to him, and then strode to Jiang Shuyao, pretending to be natural, "Just pick it and go."
"Oh." Jiang Shuyao nodded obediently, seeing Xie Xun's face stiff, thinking that he will not still angry about the scholar, right? Or did he feels uncomfortable after hearing what she said just now?
She pondered to herself, ignoring Xie Xun's blood red ears.
The two left the cloth shop one after the other. Jiang Shuyao didn't dare to go shopping anymore, so they went home.
She was sitting on the carriage, secretly raising the curtain to look at Xie Xun, and she couldn't help but being discouraged when she saw that he was still stiff and cold.
After all, the relationship with him has eased a little, so how could she displeased him again. Although Xie Xun has no relationship with her as husband and wife, she can live freely in Duke Xie's mansion also relying on his indulgence to some extent.
She doesn't know if she can make him something delicious to bring back his good feelings.
She was thinking wildly there, but she didn't know that Xie Xun was riding on the horse, and only hated that the spring breeze is not cold enough to blow away the enthusiasm in his face.
He looked up at the sky, always feeling that the changing white clouds and Jiang Shuyao are exactly the same, unpredictable and incomprehensible.
