"Ningxiang, call the people in the manor later, let's go out and buy New Year's goods together."

"Yes, Master."

"Any news about Jinxiu going to the capital?"

"Jinxiu wrote that it's snowing heavily in the capital, making the roads difficult to travel, and she might not be able to return before the New Year."

"As long as there's news, it's not too late to come back once the road is open."

Let me formally introduce you again. This is the eldest young lady, Liu Ruyun; the second young lady, Liu Ruxue; the third young lady, Liu Ruyu; the fourth young lady, Liu Ruyue; and the fifth young lady, Liu Ruxing.

"I've met with all five ladies. May they be well!"

"This is Ningxiang, the steward of the manor. Let's all get to know each other and go shopping together."

"The one in my arms is your young mistress, Liu Shuyao."

"Yao'er, come and greet everyone."

Liu Siyue grabbed her hand and waved to everyone, "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Shuyao, it's so nice to meet you all!"

"Greetings, young master!"

Liu Siyue held Yao'er up and showed her to Yun Chenxin, "Yao'er, look, this is your Aunt Yun."

When this group of women went out on the street, they were quite eye-catching. Not only were they beautiful, but they were also very young, attracting the attention of many men.

"Chenxin, I have something to tell you. Your family went to the Lu family to look for you. I heard they made a scene and left without getting anything in return."

"It was expected. They must be short of money to remember their daughter."

"I just wanted to let you know so you can be careful. If we run into each other in the county town, you'll be on guard. I really wanted to take you to Liujia Village for the New Year, but our house is too small for you."

I'll stay in the village for the New Year, so you can celebrate with everyone.

After chatting for a while, the two quickly caught up with the people ahead. "The county town is so lively! Everyone can buy whatever they want, but don't get separated!"

"Mom, we want to buy candied hawthorns and sugar figurines."

"Don't you have money? Go ahead and buy it if you want."

Ruyue and Ruxing counted the people who came today. "Grandpa, we want to buy candied hawthorns. How much is a skewer?"

"The large ones cost eight coins a string, and the small ones cost five coins a string."

"We want 15 large ones."

The two sisters each contributed 60 coins and gave each of them a candied hawthorn.

"Oh my, Ruyue and Ruxing are so generous! They're treating everyone to candied hawthorns today. The hawthorns must be very sweet and delicious, right?"

"Everyone, try it! Isn't it delicious?"

Everyone cooperated and took a bite. Mmm, so sweet and delicious!

"Thank you, Ruyue Ruxing."

"Thank you, Miss Fourth, Miss Fifth."

"Let's go to the fabric shop; I want to buy some fabric as a gift for them."

"When the group arrived at Zhiyun Cloth Shop, they immediately filled the entire shop."

"Madam Liu, you've arrived. What would you like to buy today?"

"My mother wants to buy some fabric, can you recommend some?"

"What kind of fabric do you want to buy? If you see something you like, I'll get it for you."

Feng pointed to five different colored fabrics and said, "Bring these fabrics over so I can take a look."

Ah Fu brought over all the fabrics. "Madam, look, these are all top-quality cotton fabrics, perfect for young women to make clothes."

Madam Feng then selected a bolt of cloth for each of her parents, saying, "I've chosen them. How much do you think they cost?"

After Afu calculated the money, Liu Siyue was about to go up and pay, but Afu said, "Siyue, Mother has money, Mother will pay herself."

"Okay, then Mom will pay for it herself and experience the joy of spending money."

"Ah Fu, could you deliver these fabrics to the Yun residence when you have time?"

"Alright, madam, I guarantee it will be delivered to you."

As they walked out of the cloth shop, four wealthy young men approached from the opposite direction, their eyes immediately focusing on the Liu Ruyun sisters.

"Look at them, those young ladies are really beautiful, and those older ones are also very charming. They are much better than those vulgar women in Chunmenglou."

"Brother Gu, you're usually very good at dealing with young ladies, why don't you go and scout ahead first?"

Gu Nanting snapped his folding fan shut and clapped it in his palm. "Alright, just watch me."

Gu Nanting took a liking to Liu Ruyun at first glance. Liu Ruyun was walking on the outside, protecting her two younger sisters. Gu Nanting lowered his head and pretended to walk forward in a hurry. He bumped into Liu Ruyun and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Gu Nanting got up to help Liu Ruyun up, but Qingwu immediately stepped in front of him and helped Liu Ruyun up.

"I'm so sorry, I was careless and bumped into you, young lady. Please forgive me!"

Liu Ruyun blushed. "Young master, there's no need to blame yourself. You didn't do it on purpose."

"To express my apology, I would like to offer a small gift. Please wait a moment, young lady."

"No need, no need."

"Cousin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, let's go."

They had walked quite a distance when Gu Nanting caught up with them, holding a box in his hand. "Miss, please wait a moment."

I have offended you today, young lady. Please accept my apology gift.

As Gu Nanting spoke, he placed the box in Liu Ruyun's hand, turned around and left, and Liu Ruyun couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.

"April, what should we do about this?"

"Qingwu, return the things."

Qingwu, carrying the box, caught up with Gu Nanting in a few steps. "Young master, here's your thing back. Our young lady can't accept it."

Qingwu blended into the crowd and immediately hid. Gu Nanting, seeing that he hadn't delivered the gift, felt a little embarrassed. His good brothers immediately surrounded him, "Brother Gu, you didn't deliver this gift? Looks like they didn't like you."

"Brother Gu, it seems the girl isn't interested in you. Look to us brothers."

Brother Li, Brother Zou, let's go and have a look. How can we let such a wonderful treasure slip by?

"Brother Wu is right, Brother Gu, just look after us."

The three quickly caught up with them. Their group of about ten people was very conspicuous on the street. The three walked past them and deliberately struck up a conversation.

"Where are you ladies from? You look unfamiliar. Are you going shopping? We can show you the way; we know this town very well."

"What would you like to buy? We have shops in the county town, why don't you come to our shop? We guarantee you a good price."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we don't need it."

"How could we not need it? Our Lingshui County is not peaceful. The county magistrate and the county assistant magistrate have both been killed. We are prominent figures in the county, and no one dares to mess with us. Let us protect the young lady."

Young Master Wu reached out to pull Liu Ruxue, but Ruxue slapped him across the face, saying, "You shameless scoundrel!"

"Oh, you're quite the feisty one, aren't you? I love your fiery spirit."

"I, being a gentleman, will not hold it against you. How about having a meal with me instead?"

"Shameless scoundrel, get out of here right now, or I'll report you to the authorities."

"Alright, go report it to the authorities! See if Magistrate Fang will take any action?"

To tell you the truth, the county magistrate and I are like brothers.

Do you know who we are? The Four Young Masters of Lingshui. Don't you even know who we brothers have our eyes on? No one can escape our grasp.

The Feng family was terrified. Liu Dawang was about to rush forward to protect his daughters when Liu Siyue stopped him. "Second Uncle, Mother, don't worry about it. Ruxue and the others didn't suffer any loss. Consider this a good opportunity to train them."

You might encounter similar situations frequently when you go out in the future. If you don't have any problem-solving skills, how can you navigate the world?

We'll go over if we really need help.
