Since her voice was very soft, no one heard what she said…
Seeing this, Murong Taotao sat up straight, cupped his hands towards the woman, and was about to greet her when the woman shot him a glance, “You must be the renowned young Imperial Advisor by the Emperor’s side, right?”
Murong Taotao: “???”
Was she trying to change the subject?
Did she not want to expose her identity too early in front of outsiders?
Recalling her past experiences and setbacks in the palace, Murong Taotao sighed inwardly, put down his hand, and asked, “Since you’ve come to Liang, what are your plans from now on?”
Murong Qing also looked at the woman blankly, feeling very curious…
When Xiao Junbao went to the palace to rescue Sister Fang’er, he returned with another person by his side.
Who was she exactly?
“I haven’t decided yet…” The woman lowered her gaze, her expression a little melancholic.
Shangguan Fang’er curiously asked, “What’s your name?”
“Qinghuan, Liang Qinghuan!~” the woman said with a smile.
“That’s a beautiful name.” Shangguan Fang’er poured her a cup of water, “If you have nowhere to go in Liang, Sister Qinghuan can come and stay with me in Heyang County…”
It had been so long since she left home; Sanman and the elders must be worried sick…
Liang Qinghuan heard this and hesitated for a moment, “But, but I don’t have anything valuable on me, I can’t afford rent or food!”
“It’s alright!” Murong Qing winked at Liang Qinghuan and said with a smile, “Sister Fang’er has opened a silk shop in Heyang County. She’s very rich, she won’t charge you rent…”
If she could dig out that batch from the State of Chen, Sister Fang’er might become the richest person in the country overnight.
Liang Qinghuan’s face was filled with gratitude upon hearing this, “I will definitely repay this kindness in the future!~”
There were still many good people in this world…
“What about me?” Xiao Junbao pointed to himself and asked lazily, “I rescued you from the palace, how do you plan to thank me?”
Liang Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh, “I can reward you with some beautiful palace maids in the future. If you like, I can find the most beautiful girls from Yan and offer them to you as wives!”
Xiao Junbao: “……”
What nonsense was this?
Did I look that greedy for money and lustful?
Was I that shallow and vulgar?
“I don’t want a wife!~”
Xiao Junbao’s pretty face blushed slightly, and he started to make a request, “I heard that your State of Liang has a kind of skincare product. Just applying it to your face can moisturize and whiten the skin. How about this, as long as you can get me a few bottles of skincare products, our grievances will be settled…”
There was no other way, who could resist this delicate and beautiful young boy who was so refined and vain.
Consort De had told him that whether a man or a woman, one should always take good care of their skin…
As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness. As long as one’s face was smooth and rosy, all other flaws could be compensated for.
“Okay!~” Liang Qinghuan agreed without thinking, her tone very relaxed, “When I return to Yan in the future, I can send you a whole cart if you want…”
She had as much of this stuff as she wanted.
However, ordinary commoners or daughters of wealthy families, even if they had money, couldn’t buy it.
The top-grade skincare products were tributes to the Empress Dowager, Empress, and Imperial Consorts in the palace. Even ordinary concubines were not qualified to receive them…
“Wow, you agreed so readily?” Xiao Junbao was somewhat incredulous, “Then it’s settled, you can’t go back on your word!~”
Murong Qing heard this and pinched him, “You’re a boy, can you restrain yourself a little?”
You really want to develop in the direction of a girl…
“Why am I not restraining myself?” Xiao Junbao rolled his eyes and then reached out to pinch Murong Qing’s face, “Look at your skin, it’s so rough and dry. You don’t usually take care of it, do you?”
Murong Qing: “……”
Seeing this, Murong Taotao raised his eyebrows slightly, “Young Master Xiao, there’s a saying that men and women should not be too intimate. Since you are a boy, it’s best to keep a little distance from my sister and not touch her!”
Along the way, he had seen Xiao Junbao putting his arm around his sister more than once. It was simply improper…
Murong Taotao was not a person with feudalistic or outdated ideas. He just had high expectations for his future brother-in-law.
“No, you little brat, you’re quite nosy!~”
Xiao Junbao waved his small fists indignantly, “Your sister hasn’t said anything yet, what are you babbling about?”
“How dare you!” Eunuch Ruan frowned and reprimanded Xiao Junbao, “What did you call our master? Little brat? Although he is no longer the Imperial Advisor of Yan, you are not allowed to be so presumptuous!”
Xiao Junbao: “……”
“So, what is he if not a little brat? He’s at most ten years old, right?” Xiao Junbao said dismissively.
Hmph, so what if he’s the Imperial Advisor?
He was also the Seventh Prince of Liang.
Murong Qing heard this and pushed Xiao Junbao, “Say less, you’re not allowed to bully my brother!~”
Xiao Junbao: “……”
Who was bullying whom?
Alas, forget it, I won’t bother with you all.
Xiao Junbao leaned against the carriage and soon fell asleep…
My mother said that to maintain eternal youth, one must often sleep beauty sleep, so that the skin remains fair and tender.
At the same time, at the Sweetheart Wine House in the capital.
“Shopkeeper Xi Tian, this is the end-of-month bill, take a look!~”
Old Ma handed over the account book, his eyes curving into slits…
He truly admired the little county princess’s money-making skills and business acumen. Not only were her channels wide, but her customers also liked her very much.
The shop assistants’ hands were sore from counting money every day. They had truly achieved the feat of earning a fortune daily and having endless wealth.
Little Xi Tian said, “Oh,” climbed onto a high stool, and held the account book with her small hands, “So much?”
She had been busy designing warship blueprints a few days ago and hadn’t paid attention to the wine house business…
She didn’t expect that upon coming to check today, the turnover was several times higher than she had anticipated.
“Yes, if we didn’t limit the sales every day, our shop’s income could double!~” Old Ma rubbed his hands.
If they continued like this, the profit of the Sweetheart Wine House would soon surpass the income of the Young Master’s Inn…
It was true that they were a family. Both the brother and sister were so good at doing business.
Little Xi Tian chuckled, “If it wasn’t limited, we wouldn’t have enough wine to supply. I think it’s pretty good now, you can’t chew more than you can swallow!”
Doing business required a steady approach, step by step.
No one could get fat in one bite…
“Shopkeeper Xi Tian is absolutely right!” Old Ma smiled and nodded, walked to the table, and poured a cup of water for Little Xi Tian.
Just as he was about to hand it over, he suddenly remembered something…
