Gu Shengyin alighted from the carriage with Jianjia and Zhilan following behind her as they strolled along the Street of Strange Objects.
On this street, there were many young ladies like her who wore a veil and had servants following behind them. Therefore, they did not stand out.
Although the Kingdom of Qi was not very strict with women's etiquette and they were allowed to go out without a veil, some young ladies from noble families would usually cover their faces to show off their noble status.
Although the things on this Street of Strange Objects were not considered expensive, they were interesting in their own way.
Gu Shengyin looked around as she walked. The two servants behind her clicked their tongues in wonder.
"Young Lady, what are you looking to buy?" Zhilan asked curiously.
They had seen many things along the way, but they had never seen their young lady interested in anything.
Gu Shengyin smiled mysteriously, "Of course, it's something that everyone likes."
Zhilan did not understand, but Gu Shengyin did not intend to say much.
Soon, she saw her target.
Western Mansion.
This was a shop that specialized in selling all kinds of western and overseas items. It was said that the owner of this shop was a big sea merchant. The items here were considered to be the best in the entire Street of Strange Objects.
Gu Shengyin walked in because the person she wanted to see was here.
Sure enough, the moment she entered, she saw a figure in white followed by a servant girl. The two of them were looking at things.
Gu Shengyin actually admired Zhang Mingshu. Every time she saw her, she would wear a different plain white dress.
In the Kingdom of Qi, white was not a popular color. For the ladies of the Liang Family, there were all kinds of clothes, pink, red, yellow, green, and so on. Only white clothes, other than the winter cloaks and cloaks made of white fur that were beautiful, there were basically no white clothes.
Which elder did not like their juniors to wear festive clothes? Instead, they liked to wear white as if they were in mourning.
However, it was said that some men liked this kind of soft and delicate appearance.
Didn't Qin Yuanzheng like this?
Zhang Mingshu did not wear a veil or a curtain when she went out. Gu Shengyin walked to her side and found that she was looking at a pile of red and blue gemstones.
Gu Shengyin had a lot of these things. Every time a foreign country sent a tribute, the Emperor liked to give some to the important officials. As the Imperial Tutor, Grand Tutor Liang always got the best portion.
Of course, most of those "flashy but impractical" things ended up in Liang Chenyu's courtyard.
Therefore, although these things were precious, they were not enough to catch Gu Shengyin's eyes.
On the contrary, there were some things that were suspicious.
Gu Shengyin watched Zhang Mingshu pick and choose silently.
After a while, she seemed to have finally chosen. Gu Shengyin took a closer look, and sure enough, she held the most beautiful red gem in her hand.
The shopkeeper beamed with joy. This red gem was one of the most expensive ones. If he could sell it, he would make a lot of money.
Zhang Mingshu was about to pay the bill when Gu Shengyin walked to her side lightly.
"Shopkeeper, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper looked at Gu Shengyin in confusion.
Gu Shengyin laughed softly and said, "This red gem is precious, but it has to be worth the price for the customer to buy it. Don't you think so, Shopkeeper? "
Zhang Mingshu looked at her in surprise. She carefully thought about the meaning of her words and looked at the shopkeeper with uncertainty.
