Chapter 150 Shopping Maniac
Chapter 150 Shopping Maniac
The two spent a very late night in the kitchen, enjoying each other's company, before returning to their bridal chamber to rest.
The next day, when Qiu Ziyue woke up, she was surprised to find Qi Yuxuan propping his head up with one hand and looking at her.
"Hmm, Qi Yuxuan, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"My wife, I've been waiting for you to wake up so I could apply scar cream to you."
"What are you putting on? You're the only one who's ever seen me like this. Why are you disgusted with me?"
"How could that be? I just feel sorry for you. You always overthink things."
After Qi Yuxuan finished speaking, he sat up, gently applied a small amount of scar cream to the scars on Qiu Ziyue's shoulder and arm, and then gently spread it evenly.
"I asked Lin Bo to buy this from the best Chinese medicine shop in Yangzhou. I heard it's very effective and the scars will disappear in no time," Qi Yuxuan said.
"Hmm, that's fine too," Qiu Ziyue mumbled.
As he touched her, Qi Yuxuan looked at Qiu Ziyue's beautiful face and couldn't help but kiss her lightly again.
"Qi Yuxuan, what are you doing? I want to sleep a little longer. Don't move around. All that scar cream will have been for nothing."
"I don't care, it's your fault for hiring so many people."
The two were all lovey-dovey again that morning.
When the sun was high in the sky, the two of them finally got up lazily.
Liu Xu made up the bed for the two of them, and she picked up a white handkerchief with bloodstains on it.
She went to report to Madam Qi, feeling both shy and happy.
Qi Yuxuan, carrying a large amount of flying money, dragged Qiu Ziyue along to go shopping.
Before leaving, Qiu Ziyue told Qi Yuxuan that she must keep it a secret, a complete secret, about her regaining her memory.
Qi Yuxuan said he would listen to whatever his wife said, and then the two of them went out happily.
Yun Feiyang, Liu Qingluo, and Zhuifeng followed closely behind.
Over the years, the Qi family has never had to worry about food, clothing, housing, or transportation.
After all, Emperor Xuanzong and Consort Yang had previously provided a large amount of wealth as aid.
The Valley of Passion, the Valley of Heartbreak, the Valley of Resentment, and the Valley of Empty Love all offer endless riches and honors.
In addition, Jueqing Valley has been the leader of the four valleys for several consecutive years because it has won the championship in the Qin and Jian martial arts competition. It definitely has a say in the allocation of funds.
In modern terms, Qi Yuxuan would be considered a hidden tycoon CEO.
Even though the president doesn't have to work, he can still enjoy the fruits of others' labor, and Qiu Ziyue has become the president's wife without even realizing it.
What pleased Qiu Ziyue the most was that the Qi family didn't have so many formalities.
She was very kind to the servants, and they all liked her.
Yangzhou is hailed as "the most prosperous city in the world, with Yangzhou being the foremost".
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou, this ancient city, was not as prosperous as it was during the height of the Tang Dynasty, but it was still very lively and interesting.
The midday sun shines on the bluestone pavement, and a bustling crowd is moving along this vibrant street.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue strolled hand in hand along the bustling East Market street.
The streets are lined with all kinds of shops, from silk shops to teahouses, from pharmacies to taverns, you name it.
The air was filled with various aromas: fresh fruit, sweet pastries, and the fragrance of flowers wafting from afar.
They first arrived at a tea shop.
The shop is filled with a faint aroma of tea, which is refreshing.
Various teas are neatly arranged on the shelves, from Longjing to Biluochun, from Pu'er to Tieguanyin, with a wide variety of types.
The shop owner, a kind old man, warmly greeted them: "Please come in, gentlemen. What kind of tea would you like to try?"
Qi Yuxuan selected a packet of fine Longjing tea and handed it to the old man: "Let's try this one."
The old man skillfully brewed a pot of tea, and the aroma of the tea instantly filled the air.
Qiu Ziyue took a sip and praised it highly: "This tea is really fragrant, with a mellow taste and an endless aftertaste."
Qi Yuxuan nodded in approval: "It's really good. Take some back for your masters, okay?"
Qiu Ziyue nodded.
Next, they went to a pastry shop.
The shop is filled with all kinds of pastries, from crispy mooncakes to soft and glutinous osmanthus cakes, from sweet mung bean cakes to rich walnut shortbread, making one's mouth water.
Qiu Ziyue was drawn to a small, exquisite osmanthus cake. After picking up a piece and tasting it, she praised it repeatedly.
"This osmanthus cake is so delicious. It has the fragrance of osmanthus and the soft and chewy texture of glutinous rice."
The shop owner smiled and introduced, "This is our signature pastry, made with fresh local osmanthus flowers and high-quality glutinous rice, guaranteeing that every bite is the authentic taste of Yangzhou."
Qi Yuxuan bought several boxes of osmanthus cakes, intending to bring them back to the Valley of Passion to share with his disciples.
They then went into a handicrafts shop.
The shop displays a variety of exquisite handicrafts, from finely carved jade pieces to hand-woven bamboo baskets, from antique ceramics to colorful paper-cuts, each piece is unique and ingenious.
Qiu Ziyue took a keen interest in a beautiful jade pendant, picked it up and examined it closely: "This jade pendant is really beautiful, the patterns carved on it are very delicate."
The shop owner explained, "This is an antique-style jade pendant, carefully carved from high-quality jade, symbolizing good fortune and auspiciousness."
Qi Yuxuan decided to buy the jade pendant as a gift for Qiu Ziyue.
He handed her the jade pendant and said affectionately, "May you always be safe and happy."
Qiu Ziyue said softly, "Thank you, Yuxuan."
"I've heard that the fabric shops and general stores here are exceptional."
After that, they came to a silk shop.
Several colorful silks hung at the shop entrance, swaying gently in the wind, as if welcoming guests.
The shop was filled with a variety of exquisite fabrics, from soft silk to thick brocade, a dazzling array.
Qiu Ziyue stood in front of the shelf, gently stroking a piece of pale pink silk, praising it highly:
"This fabric is beautiful and feels very soft."
The shop owner, an elderly woman, came over upon seeing this and introduced the shop with a smile:
"This young lady has a good eye. This piece of silk is the prized possession of our store. It comes from the Jiangnan region, and the weaving is exquisite. It is very suitable for making high-end clothing."
Qi Yuxuan also stepped forward and carefully examined the silk: "It is indeed very nice. I want to make a few more new clothes for my wife."
Qiu Ziyue blushed slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Yuxuan."
However, at that very moment, danger quietly descended.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past from the corner of the shop and quickly approached Qiu Ziyue.
It was a child of about ten years old, with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.
He held a short knife in his hand, clearly acting on orders to assassinate someone.
Qi Yuxuan keenly sensed something was amiss and immediately stepped in front of Qiu Ziyue, staring intently at the child.
With a swift movement, he drew his sword and subdued the child.
"Who are you? Why are you hurting her?"
Qi Yuxuan asked sharply, the tip of his sword gently pressing against the child's throat.
The child was pale, but tried to remain calm: "I...I was following orders!"
Qi Yuxuan calmly observed the child's expression, and already had some guesses in his mind.
He gently lowered his sword and asked in a low voice, "Who sent you?"
The child hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up: "They are from the five major gangs... They said that as long as I get rid of Qiu Ziyue, they will give me a lot of money and let me leave this place... But now I regret it."
Qiu Ziyue felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.
She gently tugged at Qi Yuxuan's sleeve, signaling him to handle the situation carefully.
Qi Yuxuan nodded, sheathed his sword, squatted down, and said gently to the child, "You are a brave child. It's already quite an achievement that you told us all this. We can help you protect your family, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us."
The child looked up, tears welling in his eyes: "Really? You'll help me?"
Qiu Ziyue stepped forward and gently comforted her, "We will do our best to help you, but you need to tell us more about the five major gangs."
The child nodded and began to recount in detail the conspiracy of the five major gangs and their action plans.
After learning the truth, Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue quickly devised a response strategy.
They also gave the child some money so that Yun Feiyang could move the child and his family to a safe place.
After shopping, the two gave the items to Yun Liu Qingluo and Zhuifeng, asking them to take them home in the carriage.
They went back in another car.
"Today was truly a thrilling day."
Qiu Ziyue sighed.
Qi Yuxuan held her hand tightly:
"Every day is wonderful as long as you're by my side. However, we need to be extra careful to ensure everyone's safety."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts drawing even closer.
