" Lets go!!!!!!!!"
HungJi shouted as GandDa smiled and gestured her to come. She inwardly sighed as she followed them.
...............................
"JiaLi aren't you going to wear your veil?"
She looked at HungJi who was looking at her with raised eyebrows, even GangDa looked at her with confused and worried expression. They know whoever looked at their little sister's beauty will fall head over heels for her, and this will give them a hard time scaring all her suitors. For these over-protective brothers no one is good enough for their sister.
JiaLi shook her head in denial, why should she cover her face in fear of men. They can try all they want she won't show mercy, she will kill if that is what is needed to survive cause she doesn't plan on dying in this ancient place. She will take head on whoever have the guts to even think about harming her.
" But JiaLi, every men will gawk on you"
GangDa said as he knows his sister hated attention, so this might get her to wear her veil again .
JiaLi looked at him with bored expression.
" So what? They can't do anything to me. Why should I hide my face because of some pathetic people. I can walk around however I want, who are these people to govern my life jut cause they can't keep their eyes on themselves"
HungJi and GangDa remained opened mouthed as they heard her. She was right why does she have to hide her face just because of some men. They both felt proud as well worry, they hardened their heart. They will protect their sister till their last breath that is for sure.
JiaLi walked out as they and her servant Bai both followed. All three sat in their carriage, even the cart man was shocked as he saw JiaLi's face. This was the first time he has seen Young Miss face,only her private servants has seen her face. Bai sat beside her as she kept a pillow behind JiaLi's back to make her comfortable.
The ride was bumping, Clayris was sure not used of it, she was grateful to Bai who kept her a pillow otherwise her back would have been hurting a lot then it already is. Her brother and Bai walked out as GangDa helped her out . She looked around as she noticed many people have stopped working and were looking at them. JiaLi looked each one of them in their eyes as they looked away, her aura screamed power and gracefulness.
She started walking as her brothers followed. Everyone came to know these are Fang siblings as Bai followed them. They only knew that Bai is Fangs' personal servant,and she always follow JiaLi. All of them were shocked as they saw JiaLi goddess like beauty. It was shame that she used to hide it, they all were grateful they were able to see such a beauty in their.
She stopped at the spices shop, she looked at red chillies and many Indian spices. She needs it to make her food a little more edible. She looked at them, and she has to admit these spices were of good quality.
"Give me 1 kgs of all"
The shopkeeper and her brothers were shocked. Spices were not that famous in this time and she was aware of it but no need to give her such a drastic expression. She raised her eye brows at shopkeeper who came out of his thoughts and started packing the spices. He was thanking Buddha in his heart this is the biggest sell he has done in this whole year.
"pack 2 kgs of turmeric"
Shopkeeper looked in confusion at her words. JaiLi sighed as she repeated her words but this time in a way he could understand.
"That yellow powder make it 2kgs"
Shopkeeper nodded as he started his work again.
" Why so much quantity of these spices and also why did you make 2 kgs of that yellow powder"
JiaLi sighed at her brothers question of course they don't know the medicinal property of turmeric . She looked at them as she gave them a look that said 'she-will-tell-them-later'. She knows if she started talking about the medicinal property of turmeric in front of the shopkeeper he will increase the price. Not that she mind paying more but it will common people had to excess it.
Her brothers understood as they looked at the yellow powder with furrowed expression 'what's so good about this powder'. They paid 200 silver tokens and walked forward, brothers again repeated their question and even Bai looked at her with curious expression.
"This yellow powder has medicinal property. If applied on wound it will prevent infection, if it is drank it heals internal wounds and if applied on skin, it prevents acne and skin diseases"
All of them were shocked as they looked at the yellow powder in Bai's hands with awe expression and they couldn't help but think 'How magical is this powder?'. JiaLi shook her head in disappointment this kind of knowledge was way too common in her time while they seem illiterate in front of her right now.
She started walking as she looked at people who were gawking at her and her brothers, she saw how they swooned girls even without trying, but what amused her was how they glared her. Did she ignored it of course not she clearly gave them an expression that said 'f**k-off-lustful-bitches', her aura was so powerful and filled with irritation that these girls had to look away with bowed head, cause they can't figure out her or what will she will do.
She made a turn as she collided with a girl about her age. The girl staggered as JiaLi caught her through her waist as she pulled the girl up and close to her so that she won't fall. JaiLi's grip was tight as she helped the girl who had closed eyes in fright stand up straight. The girl was beautiful, she had full pink lips and white skin and long brown silky hairs. The man who stood behind her sighed in relief, as she saw the princess was fine. He looked at the girl who saved his master and couldn't help but blush . HE stopped gawking as he saw two men glaring daggers at him, he bowed in respect as he saw two young masters of Fang family. His eyes widened in realisation that the girl is young miss of Fang family, she sure is beauty beyond the world.
"Are you okay"
The girl opened her eyes as she saw JiaLi's beautiful green eyes staring at her with curiosity, the girl shrieked as she saw her and JiaLi's position as she again stumbled down as JiaLi caught her arm again saving her.
"Careful"
JaiLi said as her voice carried power, the girl blushed red as she stood firmly and continued gawking at her with wide eyes that for sure had stars in them. JiaLi titled her head in question as she came out of her thoughts and blushed hard. JiaLi smirked at her, this girl sure is interesting.
" Lie'r, Linge'r are you both okay"
JiaLi nodded as she looked at the girl as she thought 'so this the first princess, Wang Liling, she sure is not unpleasant. Oddly she is opposite she is kind of innocent. JiaLi never met the royal family as she was not really social and her parents never pressurised her for anything. She came out of her thoughts as she heard Liling gasp in surprise.
'' You are JiaLi, My cousin''
JiaLi nodded as the girl again blushed as JiaLi looked directly in her eyes, she looked away which confused JaiLi. Liling cleared her throat as she spoke up.
"Thank you for saving me"
JaiLi looked at Liling who was fiddling and spoke nervously. She looked at the princess with confused expression as she spoke up.
"It's okay, Glad you are fine"
This made princess blush more as brothers shook their head as they sighed. Their sister not only charmed princess guard but also princess herself. JiaLi looked at the nervous girl as she spoke up.
"We should be going now"
Princess looked up in shock, she wanted to spend more time with her cousin. She doesn't know why but she kind of like JiaLi. She looked panicked as JaiLi didn't pay any attention to her expression and started walking forward followed by her brothers and bai who bowed in respect and followed her mistress.
"Wait"
JiaLi stopped as she looked at princess with raised eyebrows. Liling sweated as she looked some where else and spoke up.
"I'm going dress shopping. How about we go together?"
JaiLi was about to say no, as her brothers spoke up first wanting to save princess face cause they knew their sister won't give her any face and would reject even without batting an eyelash.
"Yeah .Lie'r you should go, aren't we all going to Sun Laquan's father's birthday. You will need a new dress."
JiaLi sighed she forgot that s**t. She looked at her brother's who clearly wanted her to say yes to the princess.
"Ok"
Princess fce lit up as she grabbed her hand and walked forward excitedly. JiaLi didn't say anything as she let princess who now she now knows is one year older than her giggled happily like a small girl.When they arrived JiaLi spoke up.
" You can let go off my hand now"
Princess looked down as she saw her holding JaiLi's hand , she quickly let it go as she blushed and entered the shop. JiaLi looked at princess who sure was acting very weirdly as she followed and entered the shop. The shopkeeper who greeted the princess stood stupefied as he saw JiaLi entering the shop. Behind JiaLi princess' guard, Bai and JaiLi's brother entered.
Liling saw the shopkeeper was gawking at her cousin continuously as she became irritated as she spoke up with frustration.
" Why are you gawking at my cousin huh? Greet her properly, Don't you know she is Fang's young miss"
Shopkeeper eyes widened as he bowed in respect and apologised for her mistake.
Liling didn't want it to let it go but JiaLi spoke up first.
" It's okay just show dresses for princess and me that will suit us"
Shopkeeper nodded as he started showing them the dresses. Frankly JaiLi was thankful that the princess came with her as Liling was looking for her dress as well and she didn't have to do anything. She just had to say if the dress looked good on her or not.
After Liling was satisfied by the dresses she chose for both of them, they could leave. It had already been evening and they have to return home.
"Well, we should be heading home"
GangDa said as he looked at the sky. All three men were bored but they also know that JiaLi didn't enjoy shopping of dress at all too. HungJi and GangDa were happy that they could spend sometime with their sister. They didn't like princess tagging along, but they had to give her some face even if they are cousins.
JiaLi nodded as princess took hold of her hand making her turn to Liling.
" Let us meet in tomorrow feat at Prime Minister's home"
JiaLi looked at princess' expectant expression as she nodded. Seems like she now have a clingy child stuck to her, it is just that she is cute and innocent that JiaLi is allowing her to cling to her.
Princess and JiaLi parted their ways as they reached Fang resident at dinner time .
"Had fun?"
Their mother AiFen asked as they all shrugged . She shook her head and smiled at her children as she asked them to freshen up for dinner.
After they all sat for dinner their father spoke up.
"JiaLi I want you to meet someone after dinner. Is it Okay or are you tired.. we can do it tomorrow top"
JiaLi shook her head as she spoke up.
"It's okay, I will meet the person after dinner"
JingJin nodded as he smiled and continued eating his dinner
