Of course, the people were not fools. Although they had heard that Princess Ji An, Feng Jin Yuan, and Yao shi had come to Lan Zhou, they still had reservations about the rumors that Princess Ji An had cut ties with His Ninth Highness and had turned to seek refuge with His Highness the eighth prince. Everyone felt that this was not too likely. Princess Ji An and His Ninth Highness had gone through trials and tribulations together. They had even worked together to take down Qian Zhou. How could they suddenly break up at a time like this? This imperial daughter would not be a fake, right?
These sorts of whispers gradually began to spread. One after another, the jewelry shop that had become solemn because of Fu Ya's arrival was suddenly filled with discussion. Everyone began to doubt the authenticity of Fu Ya's identity.
Fu Ya saw this and began to feel anxious, but there was nothing that she could do. She wanted to open her mouth and argue, but she felt that this was not the case. It was her maidservant, Xiao Tao 'er, that quietly said to her: "Imperial daughter, please calm down."
Fu Ya calmed herself down. At a time like this, if she did not calm down, there was nothing that she could do. Before she had left, Feng Jin Yuan had told her that she absolutely could not reveal her fear. In Lan Zhou, she was Feng Yu Heng. Regardless of who came out to point it out, this identity could not be changed.
The people continued to discuss for a while before someone finally voiced their own opinion: "You said that Princess Ji An has cut ties with His Ninth Highness. This is indeed an outrageous matter. But no matter how outrageous it is, that is something between the two of them. Now that Princess Ji An has come to Lan Zhou, she did not come alone. The former left prime minister and her mother, Yao shi, have both come with her. Also, our lord prefect often brings his madam to visit personally. I have personally seen lord prefect kneel and salute Princess Ji An when he met her. "
"Right!" Someone agreed, saying: "It is indeed like this. I also saw it that day. Lord prefect is the parent official of Lan Zhou. In the past, aside from His Highness the eighth prince, when has he ever kneeled to anyone! If Princess Ji An is fake, lord prefect should be able to tell. "
"If you ask me, it can't be fake. The Prefect and his wife went to the capital last year and met with Princess Ji 'an. I also heard that they had dealings with each other before and were very familiar with each other. We're all familiar with each other. How could I get it wrong? "
"Right, right, right! It was impossible for the Prefectural Magistrate to be wrong! The one before me really is Imperial Daughter Ji An! " Someone took the lead and shouted. Everyone immediately reacted and knelt down, shouting in unison, "Greetings to Princess Ji 'an! Greetings to Princess Ji 'an! Long live the princess! "
Fu Ya's heart that had been in her throat this entire time finally relaxed. She thought back to Feng Yu Heng's habitual expressions and actions, as well as the way she spoke when she interacted with Feng Yu Heng. Then, she did her best to get closer to her. She gently raised her hands and said to everyone, "Everyone, rise! This is not the palace, nor is it the capital. There aren't that many rules. We're all here to look at jewelry, so there's no need to be so polite. "When she spoke, there was a faint smile on her face. That face really did look like Feng Yu Heng's.
After confirming her identity, everyone relaxed. At the same time, they became even more convinced that Princess Ji 'an had come to the South. Someone came up and tried to talk to her. Fu Ya responded with a faint smile. It wasn't intimate, but it definitely wasn't distant either. There were also some young misses who were very familiar with her. They brought two pieces of jewelry that they couldn't decide on and asked her to help them decide. Fu Ya looked at them for a while and then shook her head with a bitter smile, "If you want me to distinguish between good and bad weapons, I can do it, but when it comes to jewelry, I've always been a layman. Even when I opened my own jewelry shop in the capital, I left it all to the servants to manage. So I'm truly sorry, but I can't tell. " This was her own analysis of Feng Yu Heng. Ever since they met in the North, Feng Yu Heng's jewelry had always been very simple. Although she was very particular about the material of her clothes, she rarely wore jewelry. Occasionally, she would wear a hairpin, which was an extremely expensive item, but that was all she had. Later, when she returned to the capital and took off her battle armor, she didn't seem to have changed much. So she analyzed that Feng Yu Heng liked to fight and didn't like small things that women liked, so she came to the South. Although Lan Zhou's Prefect had given her quite a few good things, she still did her best to make herself more like Feng Yu Heng. She didn't wear it easily.
Fu Ya's words caused the madams and young misses to agree even more. Rumors of Princess Ji 'an's martial arts had already spread to the South. Although this place was the Eighth Prince's world, it did not affect the madams and young misses' secret admiration. Now that they heard the imperial daughter 'personally' say that she wasn't good at distinguishing jewelry, they felt even happier. They felt that they hadn't worshipped the wrong person in the past.
Fu Ya looked at everyone's satisfied expressions and felt even happier. However, she was still able to maintain her composure. She said to everyone, "Although I don't really like jewelry, when I first came to the South with my father and mother, I still wanted to buy some special jewelry for my mother. Since everyone is here today, why don't you recommend some for me! "
She still knew how to conduct herself and didn't go to the second floor alone. She stayed on the first floor with the madams and young misses, chatting and laughing. She was very peaceful and very down-to-earth. The things she bought were ordinary, but they had the characteristics of the South. For a time, these madams and young misses, as well as the owner of the jewelry store, all praised her. Even when Fu Ya left, people were still kneeling on the ground to send her off, making Fu Ya feel very happy.
Who would have thought that as soon as she left the jewelry store, she would see a wounded person covered in blood lying in front of the store. With a 'putong' sound, everyone nearby was shocked.
It was a young man around twenty years old. His hands were clutching his chest. It was clear that his chest was heavily injured. Blood would occasionally come out of his mouth. It was the blood that came out of his mouth that dyed his clothes, making him look very terrifying. It was unknown how far that person had walked. Looking in the direction he came from, there was a trail of blood. The pedestrians were all pointing at him and someone recognized the injured person, "Isn't this the little brother from the northern part of the city who helped write letters?"
"Right, right, right, it's him." There were witnesses who saw how he was injured and explained to everyone, "He was trampled by a horse. I saw it with my own eyes. The person riding the horse was a soldier from the Southern Army. He had a dark complexion and was very strong. That horse was very fast. This little brother had just written a letter to someone and said that he was closing up his stall early today. There was a restaurant on the western street that wanted him to help write a new menu. Who would have thought that when he reached the street, he would be trampled by a horse and become heavily injured. The person riding the horse didn't even stop to take a look and even hit him with a whip, scolding him for blocking the road. The Southern Army has always been arrogant and treats people's lives like grass. This is truly intolerable! "
That person spoke with resentment and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction towards the Southern Army. Even the commoners agreed, "In the Southern Border, the Southern Army is the heavens. Even Sir Ji has to give them some face, let alone a little scholar. Ai, this little brother is already injured like this and is still walking this way. Could it be that he wants to go to the restaurant and write a menu to earn a few hundred copper coins? "
While speaking, the little brother on the ground regained consciousness and muttered, "I have to go. My mother is still waiting for me to bring the copper coins back to get medicine for her."
"Aiyo! You're already injured like this. Even if you earn some copper coins, you should treat your own injuries first! You don't even know if you can live and you're still thinking about earning copper coins! "
Everyone sighed, but seeing the little brother still crawling on the ground step by step, they couldn't help but sigh. Their resentment towards the Southern Army soared to the heavens.
At this time, there were quite a few madams and young misses that came out of the jewelry store. Some of the young misses were timid and used handkerchiefs to cover their eyes, not daring to look. However, there were some young misses that had good hearts and pitied the scholar. They begged Feng Yu Heng, "Princess, your medical skills are high, quickly take a look at this little brother! With his injuries like this, he will definitely die on the streets. "
There were even madams that kindly reminded her, "I heard that princess is walking with his highness the eighth prince. His highness the eighth prince is the commander of the Southern Army! This kind of thing will have a bad effect on the army's reputation. Princess cannot just watch someone die. "
Fu Ya felt a headache coming on hearing this. It wasn't that she didn't want to save him, but how could she save him? After all, she was not the real Feng Yu Heng. She didn't have any medical skills and didn't even know how to take a pulse. What should she do?
Xiao Tao 'er beside her was smart and spoke up for her, "But our princess came out to buy some jewelry for the madams. She didn't bring a medicine box or medicine! How can she treat him without medicine? "
When the people heard this, they felt that this was right! Even the cleverest housewives couldn't cook without rice. The Princess Ji An was empty-handed, so how could she treat him?
Fu Ya's thoughts were not for nothing. At this time, she rolled her eyes and thought of an idea. She quickly said to Xiao Tao 'er, "No matter what, saving him is more important. I am not familiar with the Southern Border. Do you know if there is a medical clinic nearby? "
Without waiting for Xiao Tao 'er to reply, someone from the crowd loudly said, "There is a medical clinic not far from here!"
Feng Yu Heng immediately said, "Alright! There is no need to be afraid if there is a medical clinic! This princess is here today to ask two kind people to help carry this little brother to the medical clinic. I won't let you carry him for nothing. Each person will pay five silver taels. Also — — "She said to Xiao Tao 'er," Take out all of the money we have! "
Xiao Tao 'er immediately understood her meaning and didn't hesitate. She quickly took out the silver taels and banknotes in her sleeves. She had just used some to buy jewelry, so she still had a hundred silver taels left in banknotes and a dozen silver taels. She handed it to Fu Ya and said, "Princess, it's all here!"
Fu Ya nodded. After thinking for a bit, she turned around and said to the clerk from the jewelry store, "Little clerk, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip. This is the medical fee, so it shouldn't be enough. Go and send him over first and have the people at the medical clinic use the best medicine to treat him. If there isn't enough money, you can come to my residence to get more. Don't worry, I won't forget your share. "
When the clerk heard this, he immediately said in a loud voice, "Princess Ji An is truly a living Buddha! What kind of karma did this little brother accumulate to be able to meet such a kind person like you! Princess, don't worry. This little one will definitely take care of this matter for you! " After saying this, he turned around and asked for leave from the shopkeeper. He immediately went forward to arrange for people to help carry the injured person away. When the people on the street saw this scene, they finally understood. It turned out that this kind girl was the Princess Ji An that was rumored to have already arrived in Lan Zhou!
Someone immediately said in a loud voice, "I heard that Princess Ji An is a divine doctor and has opened many Hundred Herb Halls in Dashun to benefit the people. Now that the princess has arrived in Lan Zhou, it is our good fortune! "
