The shopkeeper wasn't angry, but smiled and said, "Lady doesn't know, this Agarwood is also called Jia Nan Aromatic Wood, it's the same thing, and there's even someone called Agarwood, Daughter's Incense, or Agarwood Incense."

Mu Qian Xue took a careful look at the sunlight, and nodded: "Not bad, how much silver?"

"Two hundred taels!" Hearing that, Xia Yue's eyes became round, "Isn't it just a few wooden beads and a little bit of golden thread, it's only two hundred or so, you really dare to ask too much."

The shopkeeper didn't argue with her. He looked at the faintly discernible face behind the white gauze and said, "200 taels of silver is the lowest price I can give you, it's not even a tael lower. Please forgive me."

"It has so much value." Mu Qian Xue responded and said to Xia Yue: "How much silver did you bring?"

Even though Xia Yue felt that it wasn't worth it, once Mu Qian Xue opened her mouth, she could only say it honestly: "Three hundred silver." Dong Fang Su had Tsai give her five hundred silver, she had originally planned to take fifty silver, but when Mu Qian Xue said that she wanted to buy a birthday present, she brought a lot more.

Mu Qian Xue placed the bracelet back into the case and handed it over to Xu Li to hold, then said: "Pay up."

Xia Yue responded as shsheunwillingly took out two hundred silver and put it in the shopkeeper's hand. When she helped Mu Qian Xue out, he raised his head and saw the signboard hanging above his head.

Seeing her like this, Mu Qian Xue found it funny. "I really can't tell that you're a little rich slave."

"Your servant …" Xia Yue had just said two words, when a person rushed over from behind him and rammed head first into his back, who had just walked down the stairs. Mu Qian Xue was pulled until she staggered, but luckily Xu Li was quick of eyes and was able to hold him in time so that she would not fall down.

"Who are you? Why didn't you say anything when you bumped into him? How rude." Xia Yue rubbed her left shoulder that was in pain from the impact, grumbling angrily at the figure that had left without a care.

One of the guards standing behind Xia Yue suddenly had a change in expression, and anxiously pulled her up the stairs. Just as Xia Yue was about to ask what was going on, she suddenly saw a large group of people jostling each other as they ran forward, their faces full of excitement. At the same time, faint voices came from behind them, and when they got closer, she could finally hear them clearly, "Pick up the money, hurry and pick up the money!"

Xia Yue's face turned white, if the guards had been one step slower and rushed over like crazy, she would have had her bones broken.

One of them ran a little slower and was forced to the ground, losing out by falling onto the stairs, if not who knows how many pairs of shoes would step on him. Even so, after being stepped on a few times, his face turned pale from the pain, but he still forced himself to stand up.

"Someone is throwing money in front of us, it's spilled a lot, don't block the way!" The man anxiously replied, he impatiently pushed Xu Li away, and rushed forward with bright eyes.

Xu Li stood there in a daze. He had never heard of anyone stealing money on the streets, this was the first time he heard of such a thing. Without waiting for him to find someone else to ask, a "ding ding ding ding dang" sound came from not too far away.

Along with this voice, the packed crowd once again rushed forward crazily, similar words constantly came from the black mass of people, "Money, so much money, quickly pick it up!"

The copper coins seemed to be sprinkled in the same direction. The crowd that was blocking the street all rushed to the left, while the right side became unusually empty.

Xia Yue looked at the crowd, all of them desperately trying to pick up the money, and said in shock: "This Jinling is truly different from other places, there is even money spilled on the streets, Xu Li, do you know who is the person who sprinkled the money?"

"This is also the first time I've encountered something like this, this …" Halfway through his words, Xu Li saw a carriage with a vermillion roof slowly driving over from the right with his sharp eyes. He quickly said, "Quick, look!"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at, and as the carriage drew closer, they were able to see everything clearly. It was an extremely gorgeous carriage, surrounded by exquisite golden bells, and as the wheels rotated, they emitted a crisp sound of metal hitting stone, and in addition, there were silk tassels hanging down, and a curtain embroidered with large peonies. It was extremely luxurious, and the people riding on the carriage were either wealthy or rich, not to mention there were dozens of knights escorting them.

A slender jade hand with a scarlet gold ring on it stretched out of the carriage's curtain and threw a handful of copper coins into the crowd, causing them, who were crowded together, to become more and more aggressive in their snatching.

"I was wondering how Sister Shen would manage to pass through this street in the time it takes a stick to burn an incense stick to burn. From within the carriage came a crisp voice that sounded like rolling beads.

"Money can cause ghosts to whine, let alone disperse a mere group of mortals. It seems like this multicolored parrot is destined to belong to me." This voice was even more lazy and gentle than the previous one. From his words, he should be the one who spilled the money.

The woman from before anxiously replied, "No way!" We've agreed on it. Passing through this street within the time it takes a stick of incense is your win. It's only halfway through now, so you might not necessarily win. "

"It seems like you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Fine, I'll make you accept your loss wholeheartedly." As he said this, another copper coin was spilled out of the carriage. At the same time, a voice came through the curtain, "Drive faster, I want to drive out of this street within half an incense's time."

"Yes." The coachman responded and increased his speed with the whip. He then sped along the empty street to the right.

The carriage happened to pass right in front of him, and Xia Yue heard the conversation of the people inside clearly, her mouth twitched: "So whoever is so kind-hearted, to use money like that, she is definitely not a good person."

"Ugh …" Mother … "I want my mother, wuuuuuu …" At some point, a child of about three or four years old, wearing a patched blue smock, stood in the middle of the road, rubbing his eyes with his small hands, crying bitterly.

The place where the child stood happened to be in the middle of the road, blocking the path of the carriage. The driver had no choice but to stop.

To reply Zongji, there is a child blocking our way.

"Zongji?" This was the first time Xia Yue had heard such a title, and she blinked her eyes in confusion.

Mu Qian Xue said indifferently: "Zongji is the daughter of a king, and is the same as the princess of West Chu. In addition, in Northern Week, the emperor's daughter is called Di Ji, and only those of the same generation as the emperor can be called the eldest Princess.

"So that's how it is." Xia Yue suddenly nodded her head, and silently remembered what Mu Qian Xue had said.

At this time, a handful of copper coins flew out from the carriage and landed head first on the boy's body. The one called Zongji urged: "This money is all for you, hurry up and move aside."
