Chapter 36 Shopping Frenzy

"Xiyue, what are you standing there for? Come on!" Liu Ruxuan waved to Xiyue, and Xiyue hurriedly followed.

"Miss, where did you get so much money?" Xi Yue voiced her question.

"Xiyue, I'll tell you later. Don't overthink it now. This is a time to spend money!" Liu Ruxuan said, turning and entering a clothing store. The shop owner greeted her with a smile: "Miss, do you have any styles you like? With such a great figure, you'll look good in anything."

This clothing store mostly sells women's clothes, with very few men's items. Liu Ruxuan glanced at them all and said, "Hmm, not bad, I'll take them all!"

"What?! They...they want them all?" The proprietress's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. Not only was she surprised, but even Xi Yue's jaw dropped: 'How much money does her young lady have...?'

"Okay, I'll take them all. Let's calculate the cost," Liu Ruxuan said calmly.

The proprietress did a rough calculation and cautiously held up three fingers: "About three hundred taels."

"Are you sure these clothes are worth three hundred taels?" Although Liu Ruxuan had plenty of money, she wasn't someone who could be easily extorted. "One hundred and fifty taels!"

"Oh dear, my lady, these clothes are made of the finest materials!" The proprietress was quite unwilling to have half the price cut off. But Liu Ruxuan was not to be outdone: "Just one hundred and fifty taels. If that's acceptable, pack it up and send it to my residence."

Having finally secured such a large order, the proprietress, though unwilling to give up the less-than-ideal price, said after much consideration: "Young lady, could you raise the price a bit more? It's just a small business."

"...Well, then I'll add another twenty taels for you." Seeing the proprietress's pitiful appearance, Liu Ruxuan decided to give her an extra twenty taels, which was her biggest concession.

"Alright, alright, then it'll be one hundred and seventy taels. Which household are you from, young lady?" The proprietress finally gave in.

"The Liu residence." Liu Ruxuan said, taking out one hundred and seventy taels of silver and handing it to the proprietress. The proprietress took the silver, beaming from ear to ear: "Alright! I'll deliver it in a bit! Which young lady of the Liu family are you? I must make sure I deliver it to the right place!"

Liu Ruxuan nodded, thinking that the proprietress was quite capable: "Third Miss." After saying that, she turned around and left, and asked Xiyue to hand over the jewelry in her hand to the proprietress so that she could send it back to her residence.

"Third Miss..." the proprietress murmured thoughtfully.

Liu Ruxuan spent less than a thousand taels of silver before stopping. Xiyue had never seen so much money in her life, but Liu Ruxuan didn't care at all, because she could earn several thousand taels of silver for treating a rich family's son once, which was unprecedented.

"Selling myself to bury my mother, ten taels of silver, five years as a slave." A man with some literary talent read these words, catching Liu Ruxuan's attention. Liu Ruxuan squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw two girls, about seventeen or eighteen years old, kneeling on the ground, dressed in mourning clothes. The two girls looked almost identical, with pretty faces, their eyes red from crying, which would evoke pity in anyone who saw them.

"Miss, shall we just leave it alone?" Xi Yue tugged at Liu Ruxuan's sleeve and said softly.

“But they are so pitiful.” Liu Ruxuan frowned. As soon as she finished speaking, she squeezed through the crowd, helped the two girls up, took out one hundred taels from her pouch, and put it in one of their hands.

The young girl collecting the money immediately pushed it back when she saw so much silver: "Miss, ten taels is enough."
