The next day, just after noon, Xin Nianyan went to Qiu Mansion to pick up Qiu Li'er.

Her father had just left, and Xin Nianyan was worried that she would feel uncomfortable at home alone, so she simply called the two sisters from the Chen family to hang out in the city, just to relax with her.

Several girls were walking from the clothing store to the jewelry store, talking and laughing all the way, and were very happy.

When he was tired from walking, he naturally wanted to take a rest, but Chen Jinyan couldn't move her feet in front of the pastry shop.

"Yan'er, let's sit down for a while and have something to eat."

Xin Nianyan nodded, and suddenly there was a commotion on the street behind him.

Several people looked sideways and saw the leader of the Jinwu Guard running towards the city gate with a group of people.

"What's going on here?"

Chen Jinyan was stunned, leaning on her neck and looking out curiously.

"I don't know, maybe something happened outside the city."

Xin Nianyan raised his eyebrows and smiled a little intentionally or unintentionally.

"General Zhou, what's going on?" Qiu Lier walked quickly towards the commanding general and asked.

"Miss." General Zhou bowed his hands to her and saluted: "Something happened in Qinglin Mountain. The carriage of Pingnan Palace was robbed by bandits."

Several people here looked at each other,

"Then young lady, I will take my leave first."

Qiu Li'er nodded and stepped aside: "Go ahead, General Zhou, walk slowly."

General Zhou, who was about to leave, was startled and subconsciously looked back at Qiu Li'er.

Qiu Li'er smiled and waved to him, and General Zhou turned around thoughtfully and walked out of the city, but it was obvious that his feet had slowed down.

After Qiu Xuanji left, the Jinwu Guard was temporarily led by Zhou Yi, the General of the Right Jinwu Guard under him.

General Zhou has a good relationship with Qiu Xuanji, and he has watched Qiu Lier grow up, so he can quickly tell if there is something strange about Qiu Lier.

Xin Nianyan watched the Jinwu guards go away and sat down with a few sisters in the refreshment shop.

"Princess Pingnan doesn't look at the common people as human beings, but she is still a Buddhist?"

Chen Jinyan chewed a piece of tea cake, tutted and shook her head.

"Maybe this is retribution." Chen Jinge was not polite and sarcastically said.

Everyone in the capital knew about the unpleasant quarrel between Prince Pingnan's Mansion and Duke Guo's Mansion, so there was no need to save any face either overtly or covertly.

Xin Nianyan took a sip of tea and didn't answer. Suddenly she raised her eyes and saw Qiu Li'er looking at her thoughtfully.

"What's wrong, Sister Qiu?" Xin Nianyan asked her with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qiu Li'er waved her hand and pushed a plate of delicious pastries in front of her.

She just vaguely remembered the conversation between Xin Rou'er and Gu Jiaojiao yesterday, and after learning the whereabouts of Mrs. Pingnan Wang, she actually had a feeling that this bandit attack might have something to do with Yan'er.

.

You are so capable of random thoughts, Yan'er is so kind and gentle...

After resting for a while, the women regained their strength and went shopping for half the afternoon.

It wasn't until everyone was tired that Xin Nianyan took his two cousins ​​and close friends to Liuyun Pavilion.

When the waiter at the door saw her, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"I've met my boss."

Xin Nianyan nodded and invited a few people around him in.

"Sisters, let's see if there's anything you like. Just pick it up and I'll pay for it."

The generous girl boss raised her hand and pointed to the dazzling shops, which were very generous.

"Really!" Chen Jinyan's eyes were filled with stars and she started walking around the store.

"Of course, I have never lied to anyone before." Xin Nianyan said with a smile and nudged Qiu Li'er with her elbow.

"Go and see if there is anything you like. I still remember that you were attracted by the clothes I designed before, and that's how we formed an indissoluble bond."

Qiu Lier felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the previous incident.

"By the way, I heard that Liuyun Pavilion will also produce new Ziyun gauze summer clothes in summer."

As soon as they heard Qiu Li'er's words, the two Chen sisters, including other customers in the store who were looking at clothes, all turned their eyes over.

It seems that everyone is paying special attention to new products.

After all, it is so beautiful. It happens once every six months. Which daughter from a high-ranking family in Beijing wouldn’t look forward to it?

"We are making preparations and it is estimated that it will go on sale next month." Xin Nianyan said with a smile.

"I want to make a reservation this time. I want a set of everything!"

Qiu Li'er smiled and took Xin Nianyan's arm.

"We want it too!" The other two sisters quickly came closer, surrounding Xin Nianyan on the left and right.

Xin Nianyan was so tormented by them that she had no choice but to nod in amusement.

"Order, order everything."

Others looked at it with envy. Just saying that a set of clothes costs eight hundred taels, with different styles and the same one, is not something ordinary people can easily decide on.

Just when a few people were having a good time and Xin Nianyan was greeting Han Lu to write down the order number, there was a burst of neat footsteps at the door, accompanied by the crisp and clear sound of armor hitting each other.

People in the store looked sideways and looked outside.

But I saw the Jinwu Guards marching neatly past the street at the entrance, followed by a shabby carriage, which was already in disgrace with the sword.

Four or five wounded were brought back, including some who lost mobility and were carried away on frames.

Zhou Yi rode a tall horse and held the reins and passed by Liuyun Pavilion. He saw Qiu Mansion's carriage outside Liuyun Pavilion and gave the deputy general next to him a look.

The deputy general turned around and walked towards Liuyun Pavilion, saluting Qiu Li'er.

"Miss, the general asked me to convey that the rescue was successful."

"Princess Pingnan was so frightened that she fainted. Prince Pingnan's Crown Prince Gu Chen has a broken hand. I'm afraid she will need to be nursed for a year and a half."

"As for the other servants, six were slightly injured and eight were seriously injured, but no one died."

Qiu Li'er's brows jumped when she heard this, but she didn't say much.

"Thank you, General Zhou, for me."

The deputy general nodded, bowed to Qiu Li'er and the other ladies around her, and then retreated.

"He has today too!"

As soon as the deputy general left, Chen Jinyan burst out laughing.

"When you bullied me, Yan'er, did you ever think that there would be bandits who would do justice for heaven?" Qiu Li'er also sneered in a dignified manner and mocked.

"It's really satisfying." Even Chen Jinge's eyes were full of relief.

No one thought that this matter would be related to Xin Nianyan.

Xin Nianyan pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Sisters, don't forget about business, hurry up and choose clothes!"

In the end, the Chen sisters and Qiu Li'er couldn't stand it anymore, so they both chose the one they liked and accepted it, and Xin Nianyan sent them out of Liuyun Pavilion.

As dusk fell, Xin Nianyan did not leave with the ladies, but stayed in Liuyun Pavilion to supervise the layout of summer clothes.

In the inner hall, the embroiderer showed the prototype to Xin Nianyan. Xin Nianyan took a cursory glance, nodded, and asked her to leave.

"Well done, just keep doing what you understand and go get busy."

Before the embroiderer left, she added another sentence to her.

"Call Han Lu in."

After a while, the cold dew entered.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Give three hundred taels of silver to Zhuang Zili for a good meal tonight."

Xin Nianyan stood up with a smile on her lips.

She was rarely so happy from the bottom of her heart, and Han Lu's always cold expression was filled with a bit of a smile.
Chapter completed!
