Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich-Chapter 239 - 238 I Want It
Chapter 239 -238 I Want It
Tang Shunyan came out of his mother’s courtyard, thinking about leaving, and had already changed into the silk robe of a young prince since the weather was somewhat hot. Even as the warm breeze blew through the garden, it could not cool him down.
Beyond the heat of the air, there was a fire burning in his heart, and he headed straight for the main gate with his Attendant Student.
At the main gate, there was a carriage, with Housekeeper Zhao standing beside a horse, and several guards were also following on horseback.

Tang Shunyan and the Attendant Student got into the carriage and asked Young Master Tang to lead the way. He wanted to check all the Tang Family’s jewelry shops in the county and see if there was anything he liked and wanted made.
Just as Young Master Tang had prepared the carriage, he heard reports that the young master had gone to Lady Tang’s courtyard. He paused for a moment, knowing Lady Tang must have talked about something with the young master, but he understood perfectly, the young master would surely convince Lady Tang.
Everyone who served in the mansion knew that young Master Tang Shunyan was very decisive. If he wanted to give someone a gift, no one could stop him.
His family doted on him and he was a smart and clever child. Young Master Tang also knew that this trip was for the sake of the Ye family’s young lady.
Just for the sake of the young master’s affection, he was also more enthusiastic towards the Ye family. He was about to become a father himself and seeing the Ye family’s girl and child made him wish for a daughter as clever and smart as the Ye family girl, whether his wife Jinhua would bear a son or a daughter.
A few days ago, Jinhua had terrible morning sickness and couldn’t eat. Occasionally, she could eat some vegetables from the Ye family. Later, he specifically wanted to buy some honey from the Ye family to make tea for his wife, explaining this reason.
Mrs. Li from the Ye family sent him some honey, and the youngest Ye girl suggested sending the best honey and honeycomb to his wife.
And also sent some rice for him to cook millet porridge for Jinhua.
To his surprise, when he brought the honey and millet home, Jinhua stopped vomiting after drinking the honey. She also loved the millet porridge cooked from those millets and had recovered her stomach well.
Young Master Tang felt that they should be grateful for this gesture from the Ye family. Perhaps the Ye family’s food was too good; even if the Tang Family also used their farm vegetables and rice, they still went to buy vegetables and grains from the Ye family.
He didn’t know what the reason was, only that even with the same water quality and seeds, the food grown by the Ye family was just different.
This was also why various major restaurants in the surrounding cities and some wealthy families all went to the Ye family to buy grain and vegetables, which were in high demand.
No sooner had Tang Shunyan gotten into the carriage at the main gate than someone went to inform Lady Meng at the Mengs.
Meng Zhaojun was thinking that today Tang Shunyan would rest and come to her place to play; she also had people closely monitor his movements to inform her immediately if he went out.
Meng Zhaojun found it strange that Tang Shunyan didn’t head towards the East City Gate but instead moved towards the inner streets after he boarded the carriage. What could this little rascal be buying?
Did a young master of the Tang Family need to go out to buy things himself?
Whatever he wanted, wouldn’t the workers obediently present it to him, without him needing to step out or lack anything?
Could it be that he was out shopping? Once Meng Zhaojun thought this, she also wanted to go shopping.
So, she had a carriage prepared, took Liang Chen and Mei Jing, and went straight to the Tang Family’s jewelry shop.
When Tang Shunyan arrived at the first shop, the shopkeeper and the waiter were very astute. As soon as the young master and Young Master Tang entered, they noticed them right away and hurriedly attended to the young master before the customers in the shop.
“Please attend to the customers; I will have a look around and meet you in the reception room shortly,” he said.
Tang Shunyan waved to the shopkeeper and the waiter, who obediently halted their steps and did as told.
Tang Shunyan examined the jewelry counters one by one. He knew that some of the more valuable items were kept hidden and only displayed in front of very important people.
It wasn’t that those who came in to buy didn’t have the money for more expensive things; rather, it was also about having a thief come in and steal.
Good items would also be reserved for those who could afford them, and even more so for some important guests.
Although Tang Shunyan was young and couldn’t appreciate the jade and gold and silver jewelry, he had seen some fine items, but none of the items he looked at pleased him, feeling they were quite ordinary.
They weren’t the kind of fine items he would give as gifts, nor were they suitable as a birthday gift for his little sister.
“Junior Housekeeper, ask the shopkeeper to come to the reception room,” he said.
The housekeeper nodded and gestured for the shopkeeper.
In the reception room, the shopkeeper came in, poured tea for the host, and brought some pastries.
Young Master Tang asked him to sit down, and the two sat waiting for Tang Shunyan to speak.
“Shopkeeper, I suppose you guessed why I am here. I want to have some jewelry made. I didn’t like anything on display,” Tang Shunyan said.
“Young Master, could you describe it or show me a drawing? I’m sure I can satisfy you. I also have some finer jewelry here. I’m not sure if you are buying for an elder or a child,” the shopkeeper responded.
“I know you have good things hidden here. I have drawings. First, take the drawings. Make them according to what I’ve written, then bring out the good items for me to see,” Tang Shunyan instructed.
Tang Shunyan signaled the little pageboy, who pulled several drawings from his bag.
The shopkeeper carefully received them, glanced at the drawings, then carefully stored them away.
“Very well, Young Master,” he replied.
The shopkeeper went out. As they waited, he came back holding something in his hands but brought three additional people, led by Meng Zhaojun.
“Tang Shunyan, what are you buying? Who would have thought a little boy like you would also shop here?” Meng Zhaojun exclaimed.
Upon seeing Meng Zhaojun, Tang Shunyan thought to himself that she was an inescapable nuisance, but his face betrayed no particular emotion.
“Just browsing around, nothing better to do,” he replied.
The shopkeeper, holding the items, was unsure whether to open them or not.
Meng Zhaojun, noticing the items, said to the shopkeeper, “What is that? Could you let another young lady look at it? If I take a liking to it, I’m willing to pay a high price.”
“This… These are for our young master to see,” the shopkeeper said with difficulty, glancing at the young master.
“What, you think I can’t afford to buy? Isn’t your business open to do business?” Meng Zhaojun retorted, somewhat angrily.
Tang Shunyan was unbothered by Meng Zhaojun’s bratty and capricious demeanor; some people’s natures are hard to change.
“Shopkeeper, let Miss Meng have a look. Miss Meng is so wealthy, she surely won’t bargain if she likes something,” he said.
“Tang Shunyan, don’t say that; don’t let the shopkeeper cheat me. Whoever dares to cheat me, I will make sure your store closes its doors,” Meng Zhaojun threatened.
The shopkeeper, not daring to make a sound, carefully placed the items on the table and gingerly opened the box.
Meng Zhaojun, spotting an item in the jewelry box, was quite pleased; it was a hairpin modeled as a butterfly with two gems resembling rubies for eyes, sparkling brilliantly. She took a liking to it at first glance.
“Wrap up this hairpin for this young lady,” she demanded.
After saying this, she glanced triumphantly at Tang Shunyan and had her maid pay the silver.
