Chapter 177 Visiting the Capital
After returning to the capital, the prisoners were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also returned to the palace.
Xiao Yifeng looked at Jiang Yutong and said, "Come back to Pluto's Palace with me. We'll buy a house for you to live in later."
Jiang Yutong shook his head. "No need. I sent someone to buy a house in the capital."
Before she could finish her words, a servant came up and said, "Miss, the house has been taken care of. Shall we go back now?"
Xiao Yifeng smiled, "Tongtong is really thoughtful. I'll take you back so you can get to know the place."
Jiang Yutong nodded, and Xiao Yifeng asked the others to pull the accompanying carriage back first, and then followed Jiang Yutong to Jiang Yutong's new house.
Jiang Yuwen followed, "Yutong, when did you buy the house? How come I didn't know about it?"
"That's because you're so busy every day that you never see anyone. I don't have the chance to say anything even if I want to."
A few people went to the new house chattering.
The house has a good location. Although it is not big, it looks quite new. Xiao Yifeng walked around for a while.
"The house is pretty good."
Jiang Yutong was also quite satisfied, but houses in the capital are expensive. This place is not as big as the house in Yinbai County, but it is ten times more expensive than the one in Yinbai County.
Jiang Yuwen was also very satisfied.
Xiao Yifeng didn't stay long, "I'll go back first. If you have anything, please send someone to find me."
Jiang Yutong nodded. He knew that Xiao Yifeng must have a lot of things to do.
After seeing Xiao Yifeng off, Dongmei and her men packed up their belongings. Jiang Yutong took the opportunity to explore the mansion and stretch out his stiff muscles from sitting in the carriage for so long. Because they had only been there so long, they hadn't had time to renovate the mansion, so it remained largely as it was. While it certainly wasn't as comfortable as Yinbai County, it was a decent place to live in for the short term.
Dongmei worked efficiently and cooperated with the maids and servants here to quickly prepare a sumptuous dinner.
We hadn’t eaten properly on the road, so we were finally able to sit down and have a meal in peace and quiet. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Jiang Yutong settled down in the capital for the time being. She didn't know when the emperor would summon her. Maybe he was forgetful and had forgotten her. She couldn't just sit there and wait. Jiang Yutong took people to visit the capital the next day.
As expected of the place where the emperor lives, the people here are more affluent, their clothes are brighter than those in Yinbai County, and their hair accessories are also more beautiful.
Dongmei asked curiously, "Girl, the people here are dressed so beautifully."
Jiang Yutong smiled and said, "Since our Dongmei is envious, I will buy you a few sets of clothes so that you can look better too."
Dongmei was a little shy. "Girls always make fun of me. I was just saying it."
The scar on Dongmei's face is so faint that it is not noticeable unless you look closely. Dongmei was originally beautiful, and her demeanor changed when she was with Jiang Yutong. She is even more beautiful now.
"Let's go. Now that we're here, we have to go shopping."
Then Jiang Yutong took Dongmei, Xia Zhu and others into a clothing store.
There were a lot of clothes hanging inside, and the styles looked good. When Jiang Yutong and his men walked in, someone came to greet them.
"Sir, please come in. If you like anything, you can try it on."
Jiang Yutong thought to herself, it’s worthy of being the capital, the service is pretty good.
Jiang Yutong bought a few sets of clothes for Dongmei and the others, and also picked out two sets for herself. The clothes in the ready-made clothing shop were still a little lacking, so she still needed to find someone to make them custom.
Then they went to a jewelry shop.
The jewelry shop is even more beautifully decorated. There are not many people inside, and there is also an elegant room upstairs.
Jiang Yutong looked at the styles and shook her head. She didn't like any of them very much. Jiang Yutong had quite a few of these things. Among the rewards given by Xiao Yifeng, there were many headdresses.
This time I came here thinking of meeting an important person, so I brought some with me.
Seeing that Jiang Yutong didn't like it, the waiter quickly ushered her upstairs, "Please go upstairs, young lady. There are more exquisite dishes upstairs."
Jiang Yutong followed the group upstairs.
There were private rooms upstairs. Passing by one of them, I heard a woman's laughter coming from inside. "Mom, this looks good. It will be perfect for the banquet in a few days."
The other woman said in a gentle voice, "Then take them all, as long as Tong'er likes them."
Then they started discussing other things in low voices.
Jiang Yutong was a little curious about this person whose name was similar to hers, so she raised her head slightly and took a look inside.
I saw a girl who looked about the same age as me, facing me, and the woman with a gentle voice, with her back to the door. The two of them, mother and daughter, showed a deep affection for each other, and they lowered their heads to look at the jewelry in their hands.
Jiang Yutong took a look and then looked away, following the waiter into the private room.
Only those customers who are selected by the waiter as potential customers can enter the private rooms.
The waiter had developed a good eye for judging people. Although Jiang Yutong didn't look like someone from the capital, the hairpin in her hair alone was no ordinary item. Not to mention the jade bracelet on her hand.
If Jiang Yutong knew that the waiter let her go upstairs to the elegant pavilion because of the hairpin on her head, she would probably have to sigh. He first offered her the silk dress and then the clothes. She thought the service in the capital was so good.
These things were the rewards given to her by Xiao Yifeng last time. She brought them out just because she thought they looked nice.
The waiter brought out some fine items that were not available downstairs and that only some special guests could see.
When the thing was taken out, Jiang Yutong's eyes lit up. It was a set of gold-inlaid jade butterfly headdresses. Jiang Yutong picked up a gold-inlaid jade butterfly hairpin. The butterfly's body was made of white jade, with a layer of gold edge inlaid on the outside, and red jewels as the butterfly's eyes, which was eye-catching.
Seeing that Jiang Yutong liked it, the waiter praised her, "Young lady, you have good taste. This is a new style that has just been released. There is only one of this kind in the whole capital."
Dongmei also liked it and said, "Girl, you are so beautiful."
Then she took another butterfly hairpin and placed it on Jiang Yutong's head and gestured.
The waiter brought a bronze mirror with good eyesight. Jiang Yutong looked at the center of the mirror and found that it was indeed quite beautiful.
"Take this set."
The waitress was delighted, she knew she had not misjudged the man, and the man was ready to take it without even asking the price.
Then he took out a few more things and showed them to Jiang Yutong. The others were pretty good, but still not as eye-catching as the first set.
In the end, Jiang Yutong chose the first set.
When Jiang Yutong paid the money and walked out, she didn't expect that the mother and daughter from next door also came down from upstairs, holding hands and smiling.
Jiang Yutong took a look and then looked away, walking towards the carriage.
And it was this glance that met the woman's eyes.
The woman paused and her body stiffened slightly.
The little girl gently tugged at the woman's sleeve, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
The woman shook her head. "Nothing. I just saw someone I know."
The little girl didn't care. "Let's go back quickly. My brother should be back from the Imperial College."
The woman nodded and subconsciously looked outside the door again, but the girl was no longer there.
