Since arriving in Beijing, Shen Ping has never accompanied them shopping. Taking this opportunity, Shen Ping plans to go shopping with them.

After coming out of the shop, Cuihong and Cui Feng couldn't help but stare at Xu Feng left and right.

Shen Ping knew that they both had questions, but she didn't want to say too much at the moment.

Cuihong couldn't help but stare at Xu Feng from left to right, and couldn't help asking, "Master Xu, why did Madam buy you a skirt? You're not a girl, are you?"

She had never looked at Xu Feng carefully before, but now after taking a closer look, she discovered that although Xu Feng was dressed in men's clothes.

But she has fair skin, big eyes, a high nose and a cherry mouth, just like a girl. If she wears women's clothes, she will be a real beauty.

When Xu Feng heard Cuihong's question, two red clouds floated on his fair face and his eyes looked at Shen Ping.

Shen Ping nodded: "Yes, Xu Feng is indeed a girl."

"Ah~"

Cuihong opened her eyes wide, looked at Xu Feng, and said in disbelief: "Master Xu, is what the Madam said true?"

"It's true!" Xu Feng nodded embarrassedly.

I never thought that I had been with Young Master Xu for such a long time, and even came all the way to the capital, but I didn't even know that he was a girl.

Cuihong didn't react for a long time. She really felt that she was too stupid. Not only herself, but Tiechui probably didn't know either.

At this moment, Cuihong suddenly realized that the couple, Ling and Liang Fu, seemed to be particularly kind to Xu Feng.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between them and their wives, as if they were hiding something from each other.

Cuihong felt terrible and like a fool.

"So now, should I change my name to Miss Xu?" Cuihong asked stupidly.

"That must be it!" Cui Feng said.

“Eh~ that’s not right!”

Thinking of this, Cuihong suddenly remembered another question. Xu Feng was adopted by Lord Xu, but when he was adopted, he was clearly a boy.

But now she has become a girl. If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that Lord Xu and his wife didn't know that Xu Feng was a girl? Cuihong's mind was in a mess.

Shen Ping looked at her expression and knew that it would be difficult for her to accept this matter all at once.

Come to think of it, the two of them have been together for a few months. Originally the other party was a young master, but now he has become a young lady. Anyone would feel disappointed.

"Come on, I'll take you to have morning tea."

Tiechui was waiting at the door. When he heard Shen Ping say that he wanted to go for tea, he refused to go. Shen Ping had no choice but to let him go back to the inn first.

Anyway, it’s not far from the inn, so just go shopping. There are shops of all kinds everywhere in the capital.

Shen Ping walked to the door of a teahouse and stopped. The teahouse had two floors and the environment looked nice, so she walked in.

There are more than a dozen tables inside, and the tables are covered with tablecloths. The environment is quite good.

The lobby on the first floor was almost full of people, mostly men, all of them dressed in fancy clothes and looked like young masters from wealthy families.

This teahouse mainly serves tea and cakes, and is quite quiet.

As soon as Shen Ping and her group walked in, the waiter came to greet them. Shen Ping was dressed in fancy clothes and was followed by what seemed to be a maid.

He quickly bent down and said with a smile, "Madam, the first floor is full. Please go upstairs." As he spoke, he extended his hand and gestured for invitation.

Shen Ping nodded and went up to the second floor. Cui Feng and the others had never been to such a place before, and they looked around and found everything strange.

The waiter took Shen Ping and the others to an empty table on the second floor and asked them what they wanted.

Shen Ping looked at the menu and saw that it was full of pastries, including dumplings, buns, and steamed buns. She ordered several kinds of water chestnut cakes, radish cakes, and osmanthus cakes, as well as a plate of dumplings each.

In addition, I didn’t expect that there would be fried dough sticks here. Shen Ping loves fried dough sticks the most, but she has never seen fried dough sticks in all the time she has been here.

I didn't expect to find it in Beijing. Without thinking, I ordered a few fried dough sticks and a cup of good tea.

"Okay, ma'am, please sit down and wait for a moment!" The waiter turned around and hurried downstairs.

Shen Ping looked carefully at the second floor at this time. Like the first floor, there were more than ten tables on the second floor.

There are probably still a few empty tables at the moment. Except for one table where a couple sits, the rest are occupied by men.

These men also looked like young men from wealthy families, dressed in silk and satin, chatting and laughing, a few of them occasionally talking in low voices or laughing loudly, their words somewhat frivolously.

There was a blind old man playing the erhu against the wall, and next to him was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old singing a little tune.

The girl was wearing coarse clothes and had a pretty face. Although Shen Ping could not understand what she was singing, her voice sounded as gentle and sweet as that of a hundred birds.

Cui Feng and the others had never been to such a place before, and they felt like they had no idea where to put their hands and feet. They looked at the people around them, and then looked at themselves, and felt like they didn't fit in here.

Xu Feng, like her, looked a little restrained. He looked at Shen Ping and said worriedly, "Madam Shen, this place must be very expensive. You just ordered so many things~"

"Haha~" Shen Ping laughed out loud: "Why, are you worried that I don't have money?"

"Madam Shen, that's not what I meant~" Xu Feng waved his hand: "I just think we should save some money. You spent six taels of silver on those clothes just now."

Xu Feng felt embarrassed for saying this, because she knew that these six taels of silver could be equivalent to several years' harvest for an ordinary farmer.

Unexpectedly, Madam Shen bought her four sets of clothes without blinking an eye. Look at those clothes, the colors are bright, how can I wear them?

She was used to wearing men's clothes, so when Madam Shen asked her to change into women's clothes just now, she was unwilling to do so.

"Don't worry, I bought the clothes for you." Shen Ping laughed.

Listening to Xu Feng's words, Cui Hong and Cui Feng remembered that Xu Feng was originally a girl, and they couldn't help but joked: "Miss Xu, you actually hid this from both of us."

Xu Feng's lips curled up. Not only them, he had kept it a secret from everyone except Madam Shen.

As they were talking, the waiter came up with a tray with various cakes on it.

"Ma'am, enjoy your meal." The waiter put the cakes on the table and a pot of tea.

The waiter couldn't get all the items in one go, so he ran away twice.

Looking at the table filled with various crystal clear pastries, Cui Feng couldn't help drooling. She had never eaten pastries before!

Cuihong and Xufeng were different. They had eaten a lot of pastries, so what they saw was not surprising at all.

Cuihong in particular was the guinea pig when the fourth young lady was experimenting with making pastries at home. As a result, she has no interest in pastries now.

However, she had never eaten the fried dough sticks. Cuihong picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. It had an oily aroma, was sweet and chewy, and the more she chewed, the more delicious it became.
