Chapter 644 Baili Nihuang

"What are you looking at?"

The princess's unhappy questioning voice came from the carriage.

Mu Ling quickly retracted her gaze from the family of eight and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I just saw a familiar person."

Familiar? Does that mean I know him?

The princess is not a curious person, but she is a little curious about this person today. After all, she has never seen anyone who can shock Mu Ling so much.

"Who is it?" A faint questioning voice came from the carriage.

Mu Ling hesitated and looked back. There were people coming and going on the street, and the familiar figure had long disappeared.

She was a little unsure again. After all, how could people from the countryside of Liujia Village, Kaiyang County, Zijing Prefecture suddenly appear in the capital?

Besides, she still remembered that woman missed her countryside very much. How could she leave so easily?

But the princess was waiting, so Mu Ling did not dare to pause for too long. After thinking for a while, he replied, "A friend of Zijing Mansion, I wonder if Your Highness still remembers the strong woman in the countryside that I mentioned to you last year?"

The princess heard countless names every day, but her memory had been trained since she was a child, and she had the ability to remember everything she heard. As soon as she thought about it, she had an impression in her mind.

"Is it Qin Yao who sent someone to deliver straw paper to our mansion?" Although it was a question, the tone was firm.

And that straw paper was worth thousands of taels of "straw paper". The princess's mansion did not have many opportunities to receive such precious straw paper in a year, which was indeed impressive.

Mu Ling was a little surprised. He did not expect His Highness to have such a good memory. He hurriedly replied, "It was this person. Her husband was a scholar. Maybe he came to Beijing in advance to prepare for the next spring exam."

Since completing a transaction with Qin Yao that year, the two met again because of Wang Mian. In the past two years, Mu Ling's information about Qin Yao was still stuck at the time when the two met for the first time.

I don't know about the relationship between Liu Ji and Gong Liangliao.

Mu Ling just felt a little magical. She had seen the husband of the strong woman. He had nothing good except a good-looking face.

I didn't expect that after two years of not seeing him, he could go to Beijing to prepare for the Spring Examination. Could it be that she had made a mistake in the past? Or did this boy get advice from an expert?

Mu Ling thought to herself and had to send someone to check the situation of the strong woman's family.

Although she was rejected by Qin Yao several times, Mu Ling still didn't give up on her.

It would be fine if she stayed in that mountain village, but she ran to the capital and exposed herself under her nose. What was this?

It was God's will!

He could fight and make money, and he had brains. If such a hero was let go, Mu Ling felt that he was simply sorry for the princess!

The person in the carriage seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Next time someone comes to deliver toilet paper, tell them to let the boss's wife deliver it herself."

The implication was that he wanted to take a look at the person in person.

Mu Ling was not happy to hear this, but was panicked for a moment, and carefully reminded: "Your Highness, this person is unruly, I'm afraid she will make Your Highness angry, otherwise..."

"Why, are you afraid that I will get angry and kill her?" The princess sneered, "Do you think I am such a stingy person in your eyes?"

Mu Ling hurriedly said that he didn't dare to guess the princess's mind, and he really wanted to go back half a minute ago and cover his mouth.

Why did she mention Qin Yao for no reason? Now, Your Highness wants to see someone, and she has to think of a way to trick Qin Yao into the princess's mansion.

Yes, it's a trick, not an invitation.

Mu Ling is very self-aware of his own strength, and he doesn't want to be hostile to Qin Yao, so threats and force are not considered.

In this way, isn't there only trickery left!

However, Mu Ling still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. People can change. What if Qin Yao changes her mind?

After all, since he has opened a shop in Kyoto with the influence of His Highness, he should know what to do to keep the shop going.

"How is the situation at Zijing Mansion?"

The topic suddenly changed, and the princess asked about the Fulong Commercial Bank.

Mu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and told all the news he had just received yesterday. The master and servant chatted in this alley for a long time. It was almost noon, and His Highness had no intention of returning to the mansion. The female driver had to remind him carefully.

"Your Highness, we have not returned from the palace for one night. If we don't return home, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the prince consort. The Princess of Zhanghua is also waiting for you to practice riding and shooting at the horse farm."

Princess Baili Nihuang, who was chatting with Mu Ling about the business, was in high spirits when she heard the female coachman's words. Her mood dropped, her shoulders slumped, she took off her veil to reveal a plump face, closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage, rubbing her eyebrows, "Ah~".

The men at home who made her angry and loved really gave her a headache.

She took a deep breath, as if she was mentally prepared to face it, and the princess ordered: "Return home!"

The carriage slowly drove out of the alley and soon mixed in with a bunch of ordinary carriages and sedan chairs, and could no longer be recognized.

On the main road of Nanshi, go all the way along the main road, and at the end, you can see a parking lot marked with white lime powder.

It was midday, and the Kyoto nobles who reveled every night had just gotten out of bed. Most of the people who appeared on the street were the shopping maids of various mansions.

However, the parking lot at the end of Nanshi Street was full of beautifully decorated carriages of the ladies of various mansions, and a long line had formed in front of the two-story shop next to the parking lot.

The ladies of each family either wore a sunshade hairpin or had their maids and servants hold umbrellas for them, and lined up in an orderly manner.

The reason was simple, because today was the day when the summer products of the Ladies' Box counter were new.

That was the Ladies' Box carefully selected by the Princess, and sold by Fulong Commercial Bank. There were only two or three hundred of them every month. The shop was out of stock on a daily basis, so they could only be pre-ordered, and the waiting time was two or three months.

But the new products were different. Today, the shopkeeper of the counter said that there were enough 200 in stock, first come first served, no reservation was required, and the first 100 customers who entered the store, whether they bought or not, could get an afternoon tea invitation. If they had nothing to do on weekdays, they could go to the second floor of the store to meet the sisters to taste tea and eat snacks together.

If you are lucky, you can even meet the Princess in person!

"Is it true? Can the Princess come to our shop?"

In the teahouse opposite the counter, Liu Ji, who had just ordered a drink and returned to his seat, looked at Qin Yao and asked in surprise.

He knew that his wife had done big business and opened a shop in the capital, but he didn't expect that this shop would be so big, occupying the entire two-story building opposite. The decoration was very grand, and it was obvious that a lot of money had been spent.

Liu Jicai was secretly happy, and then there was another big surprise that the eldest princess came in person. He couldn't hold back his smile no matter how hard he tried.
