Chapter 21 Dressing Up Together as a Couple (2)

Seeing Rong Zhuo's indifferent expression, Wang Qing felt awkward to continue pushing. She reluctantly paid for the set of clothes she had picked out.

Xiao Hu whispered, "Young Master doesn't like this set anyway. Miss Wang Qing, why waste money?"

But the shopkeeper didn't care and happily handed over the packaged clothes.

Wang Qing attempted several times to buy jewelry, calligraphy, antiques, and other items for Rong Zhuo, but each time she was refused.

Heartbreaking! This shopping trip was too heartbreaking. Why was it so difficult to buy something for Rong Zhuo?

It's really heartrending!

...

"Miss, it's not that I don't want to sell, but these clothes are on consignment. There are only two sets, and once they're sold, they're gone!" The shopkeeper looked regretful, feeling frustrated that she couldn't seize the opportunity.

"I'll pay double. I'll give you twice the amount of silver."

"Miss, I really can't..."

"Triple it."

"It's not about the money; it's just that..."

"Five times. Will you do it? This is your last chance." Wang Qing rolled her eyes, feeling her patience wearing thin with the greedy shopkeeper.

She knew all the tricks; she was familiar with them.

"Okay, okay..." The shopkeeper hastily agreed. Who wouldn't take advantage of a good deal? Refusing would be foolish. She couldn't afford to miss out on this opportunity.

After seeing Wang Qing leave triumphantly, the little girl in the shop asked tentatively, "Boss, since they're not buying, what should we do with this order?"

The shopkeeper glanced at her askance. The girl was still too young. "We have embroiderers in our shop, right? Let's just copy it!"

The little girl nodded thoughtfully, learning from the experience.

...

Xian Xia's days seemed to fall into a routine. She slept in every day, woke up to freshen up and stretch her muscles, then enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

The morning was for studying, reading books, writing articles, and pondering over questions.

After lunch, she took a refreshing nap, then spent an hour practicing calligraphy and doing some sketching or puzzles in the afternoon.

There were no evening entertainment activities. The room was brightly lit, and Xian Xia lounged on the soft couch, reading ancient books borrowed from Dean Liu.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, most of these books were about governance. At first, they seemed uninteresting, but the more she read, the more intriguing they became. She had to admit, the authors were very wise.

Sometimes, she would become so engrossed that she wouldn't feel sleepy and would often stay up late. Luckily, she hadn't lost any hair, so there was no risk of balding for now.

Every ten days, she would go to the academy to register and return with some new books. Life was dull and monotonous.

...

"Xian Xia, why are you in such good shape?" Liu Xu's complexion was sallow and oily, showing signs of malnutrition.

Xian Xia glanced at her disheveled appearance. "I'm doing alright. But you, are you studying or hanging out with people? You look like your kidneys are depleted."
