Chapter 721: Incognito Visit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Since the shop was about to open officially, Li Xiaoran wanted to take a look.
However, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng disguised their appearance. At the same time, she also disguised Shu Ruyue and Zi Zheng’s appearances.
Luo Cheng went from a handsome man to an inconspicuous middle-aged man.
Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran, who had the appearance of a middle-aged woman, and asked helplessly, “Xiaoran, what are you doing?”
Li Xiaoran said, “If the emperor can visit incognito, we can as well! Besides, if we don’t disguise ourselves like this and pretend to be customers, how will we know how the shop is doing?”
Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe felt that this was a good idea, so they were very excited.
“Then what identities will we use now?” Shu Ruyue asked excitedly.
“He’s the big brother, while I’m the sister-in-law! You, Wu Qinghe, are the second son, while Shu Ruyue is your wife! Remember your identities. You have to act well later. Don’t expose yourselves!” Li Xiaoran quickly arranged everyone’s identities.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and added, “We came out together to see if there was any business to do! As soon as we arrived, we heard that there was a grilled fish shop here, so we wanted to try it out!”
They nodded, then took the carriage to town.
“Consort, who should I disguise myself as?” Zi Zheng, who was sitting in front, suddenly asked.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, ‘You don’t have to pretend to be anyone else. You’re going to the shop on behalf of Mr. Luo and me. If the owner asks, tell him that Mr. Luo and the consort couldn’t come in person!”
“That’s fine!” Zi Zheng accepted the mission happily.
Soon, the carriage arrived in town.
Before entering town, Li Xiaoran and the others got out of the carriage and walked into town.
The grilled fish shop was usually open at noon and night. It was still early, so there was no one in the shop.
Li Xiaoran went to the nearby market to buy some fresh ingredients.
“By the way, husband, grilled fish isn’t our family’s only shop. Why don’t we try other shops?” Bored, Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of a good idea to kill time.
“Where do you want to go? The wine shop? As long as Uncle He isn’t around, they probably won’t recognize us!” Luo Cheng wanted to give it a try.
“That’s simple. We’ll take a look after we get there. If Uncle He is around, we won’t go in. If Uncle He isn’t around, we’ll go in!” Li Xiaoran said with a sly smile.
“That’s a good idea! It doesn’t matter if Uncle He is around or not. If he is, Wu Qinghe and I can go in! They might not know us!” Shu Ruyue said.
The four of them looked at each other. Then, it was decided.
Li Xiaoran had just taken a few steps when she thought of something and said,
“After we take a look at the wine shop, let’s go to my parents’ shop!”
“Alright, we can go to the grilled fish shop as well!” Luo Cheng nodded in agreement.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Don’t go to the wine shop now. No one goes to the wine shop so early. Let’s go to my parents’ shop first to take a look. Then, we’ll go to the wine shop, then go to the grilled fish shop afterwards! To be honest, I think we should go to the grilled fish shop when there are many people at night! Only then can we see the true situation!”
“Then it’s settled. We’ll go to Father and Mother’s shop first, then the wine shop at noon, and the grilled fish shop at night!” Luo Cheng decided on their schedule.
Therefore, the four of them changed their route and went to Luo Cheng and Zhao Xiu’s shop first.
This shop had a very unique name. It was called ‘Half-wood and Half-silver’.
At this moment, the door of the shop was open and they could see that there were already customers.
“Sir, I wonder if you want to choose furniture products or silver jewelry? Our shop sells furniture and silver jewelry. If you like them, you can come in and take a look!” A clerk welcomed them warmly.
Li Xiaoran disguised her voice and said, “Husband, there’s actually a silver jewelry shop here. It just so happens that Mother’s birthday is coming up soon, so why don’t we buy a silver jewelry for her birthday?!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran spouting nonsense, he held back his laughter and nodded. “Sure! It just so happens that we just bought a house and will be moving here soon. After accompanying you to look at the silver jewelry, let’s go look at the furniture!”
“Alright, let’s go take a look at the silver jewelry first!” Li Xiaoran said as she pulled Shu Ruyue to look at the silver jewelry.
The clerk brought Li Xiaoran and the others to the counter very enthusiastically.
“Owner, a few customers want to see the silver jewelry!” The clerk shouted as he walked.
When Hu Xi saw that there were customers, he immediately welcomed them with a smile.
“I wonder what silver jewelry you want to see? Do you want a silver hairpin, a silver bracelet, a silver necklace, or snow earrings?”
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she said, “We all want to see it, so why don’t you show us?”
Hu Xi nodded.
“In that case, why don’t we take a look at each of them?!” Li Xiaoran nodded, indicating that she agreed.
Therefore, Hu Xi took out a small wooden box first.
As soon as the box was opened, they saw that there were three silver hairpins stored inside.
Li Xiaoran had seen these three silver hairpins before.
Every time her mother made a new hairpin, she would ask her and Xiao Qing to go over and take a look!
“The style is very unique! But are there only these three silver hairpins?” Li Xiaoran pretended to be picky.
Hu Xi introduced, “There are only three silver hairpins at the moment. Our boss made them by hand and designed them carefully. Without inspiration, she doesn’t make jewelry! Sir, take a closer look. The workmanship and design of these silver hairpins are definitely top-notch. We dare to promise that every silver hairpin is unique. The same pair won’t be found anywhere else!”
“If I see others who have the same silver hairpin as the one I bought, will I be able to make you refund me in double?” Li Xiaoran asked.
Hu Xi shook his head and replied, “We can’t guarantee that! After all, it’s very easy to get someone to forge this silver hairpin after you buy it. We’re just running a small business, so we can’t give you such a promise!”
“Alright! Show us the earring again.” Li Xiaoran pretended to be dissatisfied.
Hu Xi nodded with a smile. After he locked the wooden box containing the silver hairpin and put it down, he took out another wooden box. Suddenly, Shu Ruyue grabbed the wooden box and turned to run.
This scene caught Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng off guard..
