Chapter 270

When she woke up during the day, her body was still limp and weak. Before she was completely awake, she was pulled into the arms of the man beside her. He gently kissed her on the forehead and said with a low and hoarse voice, "Wan Niang, did you sleep well?"

Sang Wan turned her eyes in a daze and exclaimed, "What time is it?" The bright light in the room and the warm temperature in the air reminded her that it wasn't early anymore.

Shi Fengju saw her struggling to get up and couldn't help but laugh. He held her in his arms and said with a smile, "Sleep for a while more and wake up in time for lunch. My wife, you can do whatever you want when we're outside. Don't worry about him! "

Sang Wan was both angry and amused. She said, "You've spoiled me. When we return to Qingzhou, don't blame me if I do something wrong."

"Why would I blame you? If you do something wrong, I'll naturally take responsibility for it. I just want you to be happy. "Shi Fengju rubbed against her and smiled ambiguously," Wan Niang, did you have fun last night? "

Sang Wan was so embarrassed that she lost all her strength. She hit him and said, "I was afraid that you'd be tired out these past few days, so I kindly let you rest today. Who knew that you, you — —"

Shi Fengju grabbed her hand and rubbed it on his face. He smiled and said, "Wan Niang, I'm a man!"

Sang Wan rolled her eyes at him. If you weren't a man, how could I marry you?

Shi Fengju smiled and said, "What nonsense am I talking about? Whether I'm a man or not, my Wan Niang should know better than anyone else!"

"The more you talk, the less serious you are!" Sang Wan was so embarrassed that she hid in his arms. This person usually looked decent, but when he talked nonsense, he was better than anyone else! She didn't know where he heard it from! Come to think of it, what kind of person hadn't he come in contact with? He had probably heard even more ridiculous words than this. The words he said to her were probably filtered out!

Shi Fengju laughed out loud and hugged her delicate body tightly in his arms. Touching her smooth skin, a faint sweet fragrance lingered around his nose. His mind swayed, and he almost couldn't help but press her down again.

The two of them messed around for a while and got up. Sure enough, it was already noon. After washing up and having lunch, they spent half a day in the garden. The only interlude was the steward coming over with a bitter smile to ask for instructions, saying that the Second Young Master wanted to invite the Eldest Young Mistress over for a chat.

Before the butler could finish his words, Shi Fengju's face darkened. He was so frightened that he swallowed the rest of his words and turned to look at Sang Wan pitifully.

Before Sang Wan could say anything, Shi Fengju rushed over. "If he feels bored and wants to find someone to chat with, you can just accompany him there! Wan Niang is his sister-in-law. Tell him to restrain himself! "

Why did these words seem to have a hidden meaning? The butler was slightly startled. Before he had time to think, Shi Fengju said, "Why aren't you leaving?" He was so frightened that he hurriedly left.

In the evening, Shi Fengju took Sang Wan out in a carriage. The two of them had dinner at the Misty Rain House by the West Lake, and then strolled into the city. Hangzhou was the wealthiest city in the world. At night, everywhere was brightly lit, and there were many shops with dazzling goods. People came and went, and it was as lively as it was during the day.

There was no lack of goods here, especially all kinds of silk brocades, gold and silver ornaments, rouge and face powder, antique furnishings, and the most prosperous and famous. Fashionable designs that could not be seen anywhere else, rare and precious goods that could not be bought could all be found here.

The two of them got off the carriage. Sang Wan put on a gauze hat and walked hand in hand with Shi Fengju. Everywhere they passed, people would exclaim in admiration.

Shi Fengju took her to an entire street that sold high-end goods. There weren't many people, but all the goods were exquisite.

Shi Fengju wanted to pull her into a tall and majestic jewelry shop, but Sang Wan smiled and said, "I can't even wear all the jewelry you gave me. What's the point of buying more? Let's go shopping somewhere else! "

Shi Fengju smiled and said, "Let's go in and take a look first. We have to bring some things home since we came out. You can pick a set for mother, second aunt, and third aunt! Later, I'll take you to a shop owned by a westerner. It's full of novel western goods. I think you'll like it! "

Hearing him say this, Sang Wan had no choice but to agree with a smile. The two of them went in together.

The people who entered this shop weren't ordinary people. The shopkeeper and the shop assistants all had a pair of sharp eyes. Although the two of them didn't wear luxurious clothes, the shopkeeper glanced at Sang Wan's hair bun and saw the half blooming magnolia white jade hairpin. He hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

"Madam, this Shang Pin Lou is a famous shop in Hangzhou that has been around for more than a hundred years. The things here are the best. Do you see anything you like?" Shi Fengju said with a smile. He leaned closer to her and whispered, "Wan Niang, I don't think I've taken you to buy jewelry with me. You should pick a few things."

"Young master has good eyesight! Our Shang Pin Lou's products are without a doubt. We have the best craftsmen and jewelry. The jewelry we make is unique and unique. You can't see it anywhere else! Even the things in the capital can't compare to ours! "The shopkeeper chimed in with a smile on his face.

Sang Wan smiled at Shi Fengju, "Since you've said so, if I don't pick a few things, wouldn't I be letting you down?"

Shi Fengju chuckled and said to the shopkeeper, "My madam might not be interested in ordinary things. If you have something good, take it out!"

Hearing his tone, he wanted to see his private collection of treasures. The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed. Although the people who entered the shop were all customers and ordinary people wouldn't step in, the private collection of treasures in their Shang Pin Lou wasn't something that ordinary people could afford. It wasn't something that just anyone could look at.

"There are a lot of good things on the counter here. Young master and madam, why don't you take a look first? Maybe there's something suitable! "The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic as he led them to the shelves with a smile.

The shelves in Shang Pin Lou had already been replaced with western glass. They were clean and transparent and could be seen at a glance. Every item was marked with a price. His intention was to let them look at the price first before saying anything.

Shi Fengju understood his intention. He gently hugged Sang Wan and said with a smile, "Madam, let's go take a look first!"

Sang Wan didn't care. She smiled and said, "En," and walked over with him.

Although it was late at night, the shop was brightly lit. It didn't affect the quality of the jewelry at all. The shopkeeper wasn't exaggerating. Gold, jade, and all kinds of gemstones were embedded in each other. The golden threads were coiled around the ornaments and the carvings were exceptionally delicate and exquisite. The shapes were also unique and ingenious. Matched with pearls, gemstones, jadeite, agate, and red coral, they were brilliant and dazzling.

The shopkeeper carefully took out a phoenix head ornament with pearls in its mouth. "Madam is graceful and generous. This ornament is very suitable for Madam. Why don't Madam try it?"

Sang Wan and Shi Fengju looked over and saw the phoenix head looking back. Its wings were behind it, and it dragged five tail feathers of different shapes. The tail feathers were embedded with teardrop-shaped rubies, sapphires, and emeralds of the same size. The body of the phoenix was decorated with fine rice pearls and golden threads. The golden color set off the spotlessly white rice pearls and resplendent gemstones. The bottom of the ornament was supported by golden auspicious clouds. It was especially dazzling.

Shi Fengju looked at Sang Wan with a smile. Sang Wan shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "It's too dazzling. I don't like this kind of ornament. Even if I buy it, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it more than a few times. Moreover, I already have four or five ornaments with pearls in its mouth. I don't want it! "

Shi Fengju naturally agreed with her and signaled the shopkeeper to put it back.

The shopkeeper introduced a few more ornaments, but Sang Wan didn't like any of them. Shi Fengju smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "My Madam doesn't like them. You can pick two of them for me. I'll bring them home as gifts for my two elders. Take us to the ones that are better!"

The shopkeeper saw that he was playing it down and felt a burst of joy in his heart. He picked a pair of emerald hibiscus hairpins and a pair of jade rabbit hairpins with auspicious grass in its mouth. Shi Fengju didn't even look at the price. He nodded and said, "I'll take these two. In a moment, find me two exquisite boxes to put them in!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed with a smile. He handed the items to the shop assistant and gave him some instructions. Only then did he lead Sang Wan and Shi Fengju to the back hall.

Shi Fengju said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Your Shang Pin Lou's rules are quite strict!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, please don't lower yourself to my level. To tell you the truth, there are a lot of swindlers these days. It's not easy to do business! Please forgive me if I've neglected you! "

"That's true. I've made things difficult for you!" Shi Fengju smiled.

"It's good that you understand!" The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled.

The shopkeeper seemed to want to make up for his previous neglect. He presented the best things in the shop. There were the latest and most exquisite ornaments. There were also some that were carefully preserved and handed down from ancient times. The shopkeeper introduced the items in an endless stream. He wanted to talk about each and every one of them to the heavens.

Shi Fengju smiled and looked at Sang Wan, "Madam, do you see anything that you like?"

Sang Wan smiled. She only took a set of Guanyin Bodhisattva's design. It was inlaid with gold inlaid with jade heart, hair covering, flower ornaments, flower hairpins, and so on. She smiled and said, "Can I buy these two and give them to Mother? I think Mother will like them! "

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam has good taste. This set of jade Guanyin ornaments is an item from the Tang Dynasty's palace. It passed through the hands of our boss. Who knows which concubine has worn it! Look at the corner of each piece. It has the mark of the Tang Dynasty's imperial workshop and the mark of the famous craftsman, Yu Hezi! This Zhennan bead bracelet is also an antique item that is more than two hundred years old. It has the entire set of Diamond Sutra engraved on it. It's perfect to buy it and give it to the elderly! This is a good thing for accumulating good karma! When the Old Madam sees it, she will definitely praise you for your filial piety! "

Sang Wan listened and unconsciously nodded. She looked at Shi Fengju to ask for his opinion.

"It's rare for you to be so considerate. Then let's buy it and take it back!" Shi Fengju looked at her with a gentle gaze.

The shopkeeper carefully picked out the two items and said with a smile, "The jade Guanyin's heart costs one hundred and sixty thousand taels. This Zhennan bead bracelet costs eighty thousand taels. I won't tell the two of you the difference!"

Shi Fengju didn't comment, but said, "Is there anything else? My Madam hasn't picked anything that she's satisfied with yet! "

The shopkeeper suddenly felt a bit awkward. He had been in this business for nearly thirty years and had long become a sophisticated person. He could see that this Madam's mind wasn't on this. It was just that her husband insisted on picking something that she was satisfied with, and she didn't want to refuse his good intentions.

After thinking for a moment, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly said with a smile, "This little one almost forgot. We still have a good thing here. Maybe it can enter Madam's eyes! Please wait a moment. This little one will go and get it. "
