Qian Ruoyu only smiled slightly after hearing these words.
After all, Yan'er is just his maid, so naturally everything she says is directed towards her.
But Qian Ruoyu took a look at Yan'er and found that the rouge and gouache used by Yan'er was just ordinary and even pitiful, so Qian Ruoyu decided to buy some for her too.
Then Qian Ruoyu left the palace with Yan'er, asking Yan'er to take dozens of taels of silver with her.
Yan'er was carrying a small bundle and looked very tired.
Naturally, Qian Ruoyu also planned to reward Yan'er well. During this period of time, Yan'er has done hard work without any credit.
Qian Ruoyu considers himself a person who distinguishes between rewards and punishments.
She then took Yan'er to the largest and most prosperous street in the entire capital, which is the commercial center of the capital.
Those selling rouge, gouache, silk, and clothes can all be found on this street.
Moreover, this street is not full of mud like other streets. Instead, it is clean and refreshing.
Qian Ruoyu said to Yan'er beside her.
"You have been in the capital for such a long time, so you should know the capital best. Take me to the cheapest rouge and gouache shop in the capital."
After Yan'er heard this, she immediately looked at Qian Ruoyu in confusion and asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty...don't you often bring me here on this street? Don't you know this place better than me?"
When he heard these words, Qian Ruoyu suddenly realized that there seemed to be some fragments in his memory, and he was indeed very familiar with this street. It seemed that he often brought Yan'er with him before.
Here we are.
Qian Ruoyu was too lazy to clean up the remnants of those memories, so she said to Yan'er beside her.
"Oh, I haven't been here for a long time. It's more convenient for you to take me there."
Yan'er had no choice but to take Qian Ruoyu to an alley on the street. There were various grocery stores in the alley, some selling various small tools, such as chisels and nails, and some playing chess in the streets.
Looks very happy.
Fortunately, Qian Ruoyu was wearing such a simple coarse cloth, and she was still doing her own thing.
Qian Ruoyu thought to herself, isn't this the Mouse Street in a modern city? Everything is available there, and everything is sold, and the prices are cheap.
I followed Yan'er to the front of a very small shop, and saw three or four wooden boards already placed at the door of the shop, which were painted with various colors of rouge and gouache for easy comparison.
The shop owner is an old lady with a big mole at the corner of her mouth. She has a fat face and a big belly, but she is able to walk around in this small shop.
The entire store looks extremely narrow, with the width only being the distance between a person's open hands, but there is a very long depth inside, as much as five feet long.
There were four or five other people in the shop who were also choosing their favorite rouge and gouache. They were all wearing ordinary clothes. Qian Ruoyu could also see that the clothes they wore were extremely suitable.
This place is indeed a place where ordinary people come back. It seems that Yan'er was not mistaken.
After Yan'er brought Qian Ruoyu here, she also said to Qian Ruoyu.
"Mother, this is your favorite store. If I don't give you any pocket money, you will come here with me to buy some rouge and gouache..."
"Although they are all rouge and gouache that are not very popular, miss... no... empress, you are my favorite."
"It's just...it's just that you still owe this landlady some money..."
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu nodded slowly. After all, she didn't know whether she owed money or even how much she owed.
These were debts owed by the original owner, and she really didn't know.
"But don't worry, Madam, the proprietress of this store is a good person. Although we owe her some money, she never asks us to ask her to know that we are from the Prime Minister's Palace..."
Just when Yan'er said these words, the landlady also noticed the arrival of Qian Ruoyu and Yan'er, and hurriedly walked towards Qian Ruoyu in a beautiful manner.
Although the landlady is fat, she has a very pleasant appearance, especially when she saw Qian Ruoyu, she immediately opened her smile.
"Ouch! You haven't been here for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come. By the way, I still have a lot of good products here that are new."
Qian Ruoyu smiled, but she didn't expect that the landlady in front of her would be so hospitable.
Although this body comes often, Qian Ruoyu herself has never been here. However, just seeing the proprietress's enthusiastic look, Qian Ruoyu already felt that Yan'er had brought her to this place.
Then Qian Ruoyu spoke directly.
"Madam boss, how much money did we owe you before? Let's talk about it together. Now I just want to pay you."
When she heard Qian Ruoyu's words, the landlady was a little surprised.
Then the landlady seemed to have thought of something and said quickly.
"Oh...I remembered, you are no longer the eldest lady, but the princess..."
Before she could say this to her, Qian Ruoyu quickly covered her mouth.
"Shh, we are out on a plainclothes trip this time, so you'd better not tell us."
The fat boss lady nodded quickly after hearing this, and Qian Ruoyu let her go.
"You have become an extraordinary person now... I didn't expect you to come to my small shop. In fact, before you make my small shop prosperous, the money you owe is nothing... It's a big deal..."
But Qian Ruoyu shook his head after hearing these words.
Although she, Qian Ruoyu, is not a fussy person, she will naturally have to pay back the money she owes, and she may not be able to avoid this shop in the future.
"No, just tell me how much money you owe. If you don't want the money, we won't come next time!"
Hearing Qian Ruoyu say such serious words, the landlady had to think for a moment and then said to Qian Ruoyu.
"No more, no more... you only owe our shop one or two taels, it's not too much."
But after hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu was shocked in her heart. One or two taels of money is equivalent to 1,200 Wen, which is not a small sum!
How many things did the original owner and Yan'er buy here, and they actually owe so much money!
How could the original owner be so shameless and owe so much money here?
The prime minister's daughter was reduced to debt.
You know, 1,200 cents is enough for an ordinary family of three to have enough food and clothing for a month!
You must know that this shop was originally located in the streets of Mouse Street, and the profit was definitely not high. The proprietress was actually willing to let herself and Yan'er owe so much money, which made Qian Ruoyu look at the proprietress particularly highly.
