Chapter 192: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 192: Meeting Strangers in an Upgraded Space (1)
After inquiring about a well-reputed iron shop, Mo Yan found the blacksmith and showed him the drawings, explaining in detail the specific appearance of the surgical knife and the probe. After the blacksmith confirmed that he could make them, she paid a deposit and agreed to pick them up the day after tomorrow.
Leaving the blacksmith shop, Mo Yan continued to stroll around the streets. She didn't encounter any unpleasant incidents but found many interesting things, so she bought them one by one.
Seeing someone selling various animal plush toys on the street, although they weren't as exaggeratedly amusing as in her previous life, they were lifelike and quite close to the real thing.
Thinking about the benefits she promised Xiao Hua, Mo Yan waved her hand generously and bought a rabbit plush, a tiger plush, and a pig plush. She thought Xiao Hua would like them.
As she accumulated more and more items, Mo Yan found a secluded corner with no one around and stored everything in her space.
Seeing that it was still early, Mo Yan planned to continue shopping before heading home. When she came across a silver shop called "Treasure Pavilion," she saw that it was bustling with customers, so she walked in. If she found any ornaments she liked, she could buy them and admire them at home.
The Treasure Pavilion was quite spacious, with two floors. The upper floor was for VIPs, specially catering to distinguished guests, where attendants would present the latest designs for selection. The lower floor was for wealthy people or customers who wanted to see the actual items.
"Hey, miss, please come in, please come in."
When the attendant saw Mo Yan, he obviously hesitated for a moment, then warmly welcomed her in.
It wasn't surprising that the attendant's attitude was strange. The Treasure Pavilion was the most famous silver shop in the capital. Even the most ordinary piece of jewelry there could sustain an ordinary family's food and drink for several years. The customers coming and going were either rich or noble.
Generally, when young ladies from wealthy households came, they were accompanied by a retinue of servants. It was extremely rare to see someone like Mo Yan, who came alone and dressed so... well, plainly. It was quite unusual.
Mo Yan didn't realize this and just thought the attendant's attitude was quite good. She leisurely walked to the counter and nodded in approval at the exquisite jewelry displayed there.
Ancient jewelry was all handmade, and compared to modern advanced tools and equipment, achieving such fine craftsmanship was already quite remarkable.
After looking for a while, Mo Yan didn't find any jewelry she liked, so she planned to leave. Just as she was about to turn around, she bumped into someone, or more accurately, someone bumped into her.
"You rustic bumpkin, are you blind?!"
Mo Yan had just regained her balance when a sharp scream pierced her eardrums.
The girl's scream immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some people looked at Mo Yan with implicit disdain.
A truly well-bred young lady would never speak so rudely in public.
Behind the girl who was shouting, there stood an elegant and beautiful woman, who lightly reproached her, but her tone carried obvious indulgence and tolerance. She glanced at Mo Yan lightly and saw her extremely ordinary cotton clothes, her eyes flashing with visible disdain.
Ignorant bumpkins were better off not entering the doors of the Treasure Pavilion.
Mo Yan almost chuckled. She looked up at this pair of mother and daughter, smilingly saying, "This madam, it's understandable to favor your daughter, but it's not right to speak nonsense with your eyes wide open. Your daughter bumped into me, yet you want me to apologize. That's fine. Let me bump into your daughter once, and I promise to apologize."
