The Lucky Heiress

When Wei Yichen’s gaze sweeps past her, she coldly looks away.

Staring at Wei Yichen with a pair of bright, eager eyes, Wei Yilin implores him, “Big Brother, just do your best. Regardless of whether you pass the exam or not, you are always the best in my eyes!”

Wei Yichen gives a slight nod.

Wei Mingyong walks over and encouragingly claps Wei Yichen’s shoulder, “Nephew Yichen! Now, our Wei Family depends on you! From Uncle, good luck! Bring honor to our ancestors!”

Bai Family’s lady standing beside, smiles and says, “Yes, Yichen, your Aunt knows that you are the most capable one in our family, you will surely pass this examination. By then, you will be the first in our family to pass the civil service examination!”

Wei Minghong cheerily agrees, “Yes, Yichen, no one in our family has ever become an official through exams. Once you pass, your uncle will be relying on you!”

His wife, Mrs. Mo, is as always quiet and speaks little.

Wei Yichen gives a slight nod, then bids farewell to his grandparents, “Grandfather, Grandmother, I am leaving.”

“Go, take care of yourself,” Wei’s madam nods her head.

“Be careful in everything, don’t be nervous,” Wei’s grandfather gives his final reminder.

Wei Yichen nods slightly, then gets onto the carriage, escorted to the examination hall by the guards from the manor.

After Wei Yichen’s departure, Wei Ruo plans to return to her room.

We Yilin suddenly runs ahead and grabs Wei Ruo’s hand.

“What are you doing?” Wei Ruo asks, looking down.

“Big sister, let’s go to the street together later.” Wei Yilin says, sneaking a glance towards Wei Qingwan.

“What for?” Wei Ruo asks.

“I’ve saved some money, I want to buy some things for you, big sister!”

“Are you planning on buying me make-up?” Wei Ruo asks.

“Yes! A lot of people at home plan to buy make-up for big sister, so I naturally want to do it as well!”

“Oh? So what are you planning to buy for me?” Wei Ruo asks curiously.

“I heard that a new rouge and face powder shop opened recently on White Tiger Street. The products they sell are top grade, very popular with the ladies and maidens of the Capital City. If other women are using their products, naturally you, big sister, should use their products as well. Come with me, I’ll buy them for you with my silver!” Wei Yilin said confidently, his head held high.

“You understand this too?”

“Of course, I know a lot!”

“Did you learn from maids in the house?”

“What do they know? I know more than them!” Wei Yilin insists, holding Wei Ruo’s hand, “Anyway, you don’t have to worry, just come with me!”

At this point, Bai Family’s lady, having heard the two’s interaction, walks up and says, “Wanwan and I were just about to leave as well, why don’t we all go together?”

Before Wei Ruo can say anything, Wei Yilin preempts and declines, “Aunt, I’m going to buy rouge and face powder for my sister, I won’t go with you. Please, make your own way!”

Having spoken, Wei Yilin quickly takes Wei Ruo away.

“Big sister, let’s hurry up and go, don’t let them catch up.”

Wei Yilin, worried that Bai Family’s lady and Wei Qingwan would catch up, walks hurriedly.

Wei Ruo doesn’t resist and lets Wei Yilin lead her away.

The two arrive at the back gate and get on a carriage.

This carriage belongs to Wei Ruo, it escorted her all the way from Taizhou prefecture. Having once saved Wei Yilin’s life on the road, Wei Yilin feels extremely familiar when riding it.

The guard at the gate asks Wei Ruo some questions, then lets her and Wei Yilin leave.

Wei Ruo is still allowed to leave the house as she pleases. As long as she brings the maids and guards sent by the old madam, the guard won’t stop her.

It doesn’t take too long to reach Daiyue Residence after leaving the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence.

The Daiyue Residence is bustling at this moment, with a steady stream of customers coming in and going out.

Wei Yilin takes a look at the crowd, then frowns, “I knew it would be crowded, but not this crowded!”Then Wei Yilin turns to Wei Ruo and says, “Big sister, you don’t know, this shop only recently opened, but because their products were particularly good, a lot of people came.”

“Since it’s newly opened, how do you know their goods are exceptionally good?” Wei Ruo asks.

“That’s simple, I inquired about it. The facial cream they sell was already being sold in Tongde Hall for a while and selling very well, they were even running out of stock.” Wei Yilin raises his face high, impressively introducing Wei Ruo to the shop’s situation.

“You, so young, even know about face cream?”

“Well, don’t look down on me, ok? And I’m not that young anymore, I’m nine years old this year! I am not a kid anymore!” Wei Yilin corrects seriously.

“Yes yes yes, you’re not young anymore.” Wei Ruo gives a clearly perfunctory reply.

“Let’s go, let’s go in!”

We Yilin gleefully drags Wei Ruo into Daiyue Residence.

The store is bustling, every seat in the customer area is filled, and the store assistants are enthusiastically introducing their products to the customers.

Just as Wei Yilin is about to take Wei Ruo over, they are stopped by a store assistant.

“Little master and miss, please wait. Today the store is already full, we can’t receive any more customers. To ensure a good experience for each customer, we are temporarily not receiving customers who are not members of our store.”

“Members? What are members?” Wei Yilin looks blankly at the store assistant.

“Membership means customers paying a certain fee to become our store’s valued customer. Then they can enjoy various discounts in our store, such as buying our products with a discount. For instance, if we launch new products, we will notify our members first.”

The store assistant explained the membership system in detail to Wei Yilin.

“Then tell me how much silver it takes to become a member of your store? I want to buy my sister one!”

“Our memberships are divided into four levels: Supreme, Gold, Silver and Bronze. A Bronze membership has an annual fee of ten taels of silver, a Silver membership is twenty taels, Gold membership is fifty taels and a Supreme membership requires the purchase of a significant amount of goods in our store.”

“So expensive?” Wei Yilin is stunned, eyes wide.

The lowest Bronze membership costs ten taels!

This is too expensive!

This made Wei Yilin feel quite embarrassed, he only had ten taels of silver on him, and this was the money he had been saving.

Just as Wei Ruo is about to speak, she hears Bai Family’s lady’s voice coming from behind.

“What a coincidence, I didn’t expect Ruoruo and Yilin to be coming to Daiyue Residence as well. Had we known, we should have left together.”

Is it really coincidence? When Wei yilin left just now, he said he would bring Wei Ruo to Daiyue Residence to buy rouge and face powder, Bai Family’s lady and Wei Qingwan had heard it.
