These two women despised Song Xiangsi in their hearts, but they smiled lovingly and wanted to chat with Song Xiangsi.
"So it's the Lovesick girl. Where are you going?" one of them asked.
Song Xiangsi coldly swept a glance at them and pursed his lips without replying. A cold light flashed through his eyes.
Seeing that she actually ignored him, the woman became angry and couldn't help but twitch her mouth. "What's the big deal, a stupid girl that doesn't care for her father and dares to pretend to be noble in front of us."
Song Xiangsi could not help but roll her eyes. She sighed in her heart, thinking that wherever she went, she would meet a weirdo.
The other woman's gaze shifted and landed on Meng Lianxuan. The man was very good-looking, causing a woman like her, who had already married, to blush and feel her heart palpitating just by looking at him.
"Young man, where do you live? Why must you follow a lovesick girl? "
What a waste of a good leather bag. Seeing this kind of girl, the woman thought to herself.
Meng Ling Xuan didn't even bother to give the two of them a glance. He closed his eyes and frowned slightly, looking a bit impatient.
The two women could not help but twitch their mouths when they heard that. They secretly rolled their eyes in their hearts and their stiff smiles disappeared.
Seeing the two of them humiliated, Song Xiangsi wanted to laugh. In her heart, she gave a Like to Meng Liuxuan.
After such an unhappy conversation, the two women hated Song Xiangsi in their hearts. Their expressions were not very good the entire way. They muttered softly and cast sidelong glances at Song Xiangsi from time to time.
Song Xiangsi could not be bothered with them. After all, even if her mouth grew on a pig, she could not shut the pig up.
Indeed, their legs could not compare to that of the four-legged beasts. After riding on the ox-cart, they arrived at the provincial capital in just two hours.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Song Xiangsi had come to the provincial capital, and she was very curious about everything. As soon as the ox-cart stopped, she impatiently jumped off the vehicle and walked into the city with her hands behind her back.
The two women curled their lips and glared at Song Xiangsi secretly. The two of them supported each other as they walked in.
Indeed, the provincial capital was much more lively than the town. There were stalls everywhere, and all kinds of snacks and snacks. All kinds of small items could be found here.
Song Xiangsi narrowed her eyes slightly as she scanned the streets. Her slender hands caressed her chin as her brain worked quickly, trying to figure out what kind of business she was going to do.
While thinking, the two of them went to the shop that sold pen and paper. She chose a pen and ink, and chose a relatively fair piece of paper before she paid the bill.
The shopkeeper glanced at it and said, "A total of two taels of silver."
Song Xiangsi frowned. She sighed at the price of this ancient paper and brush. No wonder even the children of poor families could not read a book. When she thought about how she had stayed in modern times, the paper there was sold by weight.
Just as she was about to pay, a slender white hand reached out and pressed her hand down.
Then, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "This ink should be ordinary ink, with a market value of five hundred words. This paper is also ordinary paper, with a market value of fifty words. We took a total of twenty paper pieces, and in addition to that brush, which was worth two hundred pieces of paper, the total amount of these things added up to one thousand and seven hundred pieces of paper."
The shopkeeper didn't expect to meet someone who understood the situation. Hearing him say so, beads of sweat began to drip down his forehead.
When Song Xiangsi heard that, she looked at the shopkeeper's expression and could not help but frown. Her face turned cold, "You actually dared to frame me!"
She had never bought pen and paper in the ancient times and didn't know the market price. If it weren't for Meng Ling Xuan, she probably would have become a fool.
He wiped his sweat away and explained with a chuckle, "Oh, the ones you took looked extremely similar to the ones in our shop. I must have seen wrongly, hehe …"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
When he first saw the two of them, he thought they were just normal villagers. He thought that he had met two fat sheep, but he didn't expect that the man was actually someone who understood how to do things.
Song Xiangsi laughed coldly, "Did you see wrongly? Since you don't have good eyes, why are you opening a shop here? This is clearly a scam! "
Her voice was not soft, and everyone in the shop could hear her clearly.
The storekeeper's expression was also a little ugly. He was afraid that if Song Xiangsi caused such a ruckus, his reputation in the shop would be ruined. He hurriedly pleaded in a low voice.
"Oh, my dear grandaunt, please don't reveal yourself. I really saw wrongly. How about this, I'll erase a small part of it for you and I'll pay you 1500 gold coins for it, how about that?"
Song Xiangsi raised her eyebrows as her expression turned slightly better. She snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for my companion saying that earlier, and if he didn't happen to understand this, I'm afraid you would have made a huge profit!"
She was extremely angry. Even though the shopkeeper had already paid her gift, she was still indignant. Ever since she came to this damned place, she had been bullied time and time again.
Thinking of this, Song Xiangsi gritted her teeth.
However, Meng Ling Xuan stopped her. Without batting an eyelid, he hid her behind him, took out the money and handed it over to the shopkeeper. With a cold voice, he said, "Alright. We'll do as you say, one thousand and five hundred taels."
The shopkeeper secretly let out a sigh of relief. He withdrew the stern look in his eyes without any change in his expression, paid the bill, and handed the item over to Song Xiangsi.
Exiting the shop, Song Xiangsi was still a bit unsettled. She glanced at Meng Ling Xuan unhappily and said, "Why didn't you expose him directly, hmph — he actually dares to harm consumers. This is simply excessive. If we don't cause trouble, won't more people be harmed?"
Meng Ling Xuan grabbed her shoulder, dodging the oncoming charge. He calmly explained, "You aren't the first one to be cheated, but we can't interfere in this matter."
He sighed, remembering the fierce look in the shopkeeper's eyes as he said, "Someone who can open a shop in the county, and even dare to openly raise the price, must not be someone easy to deal with. Since he wants to be kind, then we have no reason to cause trouble for ourselves."
Song Xiangsi was not stupid. Once he said this, he immediately understood that the shopkeeper must have some tricks up his sleeves. He had just arrived at this place and was only a powerless village girl. He was afraid that the shopkeeper would crush her with a wave of his hand.
She took a deep breath, thinking that she had been too careless. It seemed that she still hadn't completely accepted her identity and couldn't differentiate between the two. Next time, she had to think clearly before acting.
Seeing that she had finally thought things through, Meng Ling Xuan smiled. He raised his hand, took the item she was holding, and led her away.
What Song Xiangsi did not know was that right after she left the paper and pen shop, there were people secretly watching them.
The two women looked at each other and smiled maliciously. "This girl actually has the money to buy paper and brushes. Let's go and tell Lady Wang."
"So it's the Lovesick girl. Where are you going?" one of them asked.
Song Xiangsi coldly swept a glance at them and pursed his lips without replying. A cold light flashed through his eyes.
Seeing that she actually ignored him, the woman became angry and couldn't help but twitch her mouth. "What's the big deal, a stupid girl that doesn't care for her father and dares to pretend to be noble in front of us."
