Bai Wanrou rubbed the tip of her nose, lowered her eyes and looked at Qingtang seriously, her expression was indescribably solemn, "Qingtang, do you feel..."
"Huh? What do you think?"
She stopped talking in the middle of her words. Not only Qingtang was curious, but even Luzhu was a little itchy.
The two of them raised their heads and stared at her obediently, leaving Bai Wanrou even more speechless. She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth and said, "Did you miss the point?"
Almost as soon as these words were spoken, Luzhu burst into laughter.
My young lady would never be so frank in the past, but for some reason today, it made her feel a little more humorous.
As expected, although Qingtang pouted her lips with some dissatisfaction, there was no trace of any complaint between her brows and eyes.
She even murmured in a low voice: "Humph, the princess is indeed partial to the prince, and she actually teased me like this for his sake."
Bai Wanrou listened briefly and didn't pay attention to the rest, but the smile at the corner of her mouth had frozen.
Is she partial? Do you still like her? It seems like she can’t explain it herself.
The only thing she could be sure of was that even if she saw Yue Yi and Chen Ruzhi being intimate with her own eyes, she no longer felt that knife-like torture in her heart.
You should probably let it go a little bit...
Thinking like this, Bai Wanrou's brain suddenly twitched and she said uncontrollably: "What nonsense did the little girl say? I'm not biased. What he said is probably half right at most."
Seeing the two of them raising their heads and staring at her in surprise because of these words, Bai Wanrou's eyebrows jumped unconsciously.
If she speaks ill of Chen Ruzhi in front of these servant girls, her emotions will become weaker over time, right?
Bai Wanrou nodded to herself, and then returned to sit on the small bench before. She spoke in a tone like a lecturer:
"He is a person who never speaks without thinking, and what he says has no reference value. What I just meant was that... 100% of what he said is 1% correct."
As if she suddenly remembered something, Bai Wanrou turned her head to face Green Bamboo, her expression a little unnatural, as if she had traces of annoyance.
"Also, he said that to you in front of you because he didn't know that you made the clothes. Don't take it seriously."
However, Lu Zhu couldn't care less about what she said at this moment, and Qingtang beside him was almost stunned by her abnormality.
The two of them looked at each other and saw that Bai Wanrou didn't seem to be joking. Lu Zhu even boldly put his hand on her forehead and gave it a try.
After a short period of silence, Bai Wanrou heard her whispering to herself: "It's not hot at all."
Before Bai Wanrou could explain the reason for her behavior, Lu Zhu suddenly showed a frightened expression for some unknown reason and looked at her in fear.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she stumbled and said: "Little Miss... I didn't listen carefully to what the prince said at all. You, please don't get into any conflict with him because of this matter."
Bai Wanrou chuckled lightly, knowing that this little girl was subconsciously taking the blame on herself, and she felt funny but also felt a little pity.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about whether you will be unpopular after what happened between me and the prince. The reason why I thought of opening a store this time is to plan for peace."
When she said the last sentence, she hesitated for a while, and finally raised her face and finished.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingtang stood up from his chair.
"Miss, please don't be confused. If you have anything unhappy, you can tell us two, but..."
Qingtang was not good at words to begin with. Except for being more articulate when she was angry, she usually didn't pay much attention to it. Now, coupled with her anxious mood, it was even more difficult to organize a sentence.
So at the end of the sentence, she felt a bit more self-blame and grievance, and her moist eyes filled with tears at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bai Wanrou was a little dazed for a moment. What kind of day was it today? Her two good girls started crying one after another.
She stood up and wiped away the tears that flowed down Qingtang's cheeks, then patted her back and asked him to sit down again.
It wasn't until their emotions calmed down that Bai Wanrou continued to speak: "I know it's hard for you to accept saying this to you all at once."
"But don't worry, the reason why I made such a decision must be after careful consideration."
She tried her best to ignore the uncomfortable feeling like a needle poking in her heart. She couldn't figure out why she had let go of Chen Ruzhi, but she was still very reluctant to let go when she said these words.
She pinched her thigh and continued almost forcefully: "Maybe in your eyes, I am still the one who loves the prince so much. I don't deny that I did really like him."
"It's just that things are different now, and I'm...a little tired."
After pouring out all these words like beads, Bai Wanrou felt that her whole body felt much more relaxed.
Let's start with the girl in her own yard, and then slowly let the entire palace's servants know that she is no longer the person who is led by the prince and can be insulted at will.
Bai Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, our topic has gone a little far. Now let's get back to the topic. Qingtang, do you have any suggestions for my arrangements?"
Hearing this, the two girls who were still in a daze came to their senses. Qingtang quickly shook his head and seemed hesitant to speak, but said nothing.
She put her hands together and made a crisp sound, "Then... let's start working?"
There are only a limited number of needlework tools in the yard, and Lu Zhu is responsible for teaching them, and the rest is only enough for one person to learn.
So the three of them thought together and asked Bai Wanrou to give it a try first. If it was successful, they asked Qingtang to follow suit and then go find a store to discuss matters related to selling on behalf of others.
Thinking about the latter matter, he would definitely not be able to help him, so Lu Zhu was very attentive when teaching, and Bai Wanrou's learning ability was already outstanding.
An hour passed, and the first piece of jewelry took shape.
Bai Wanrou shook her sore wrist and looked at the small object in front of her that was only a few steps away from being completed, and her heart was filled with satisfaction.
"Wow, miss, you are so awesome. This is your first time working as a female celebrity, and you can actually do this."
Qingtang didn't dare to pick it up and look at it directly, but his eyes were already glued to the jewelry.
Hearing her unabashed praise, Bai Wanrou couldn't help but smile at the praise. Then she thought that Qingtang would try it later, and reminded her softly:
"I'm going to finish it here soon, and it's up to you next. Are you sure?"
Seeing her dodge her eyes and not answer her question directly, Bai Wanrou actually already knew the answer. This girl probably didn't listen carefully just now.
Unexpectedly, the green bamboo next to him said confidently: "Okay, don't worry, miss, I'm here to ensure that both of you can learn it."
Since Qingtang was assigned to Bai Wanrou's yard, this was the first time Luzhu interrupted when the two of them were talking.
However, Bai Wanrou did not feel that it was unexpected. She only felt relieved when she saw that the green bamboo had regained its vitality and was as lively as before in the Hou Mansion.
"Okay, then I'll finish the work quickly and let Qingtang learn from you."
In fact, Bai Wanrou's speed is already very fast. For such a delicate object, even a person who is a prostitute would need at least half an hour.
And she was not only doing it for the first time, she was also someone who had never been involved in this field before, but she only had half an hour longer than those people. If she told it, she would make many people envious.
Qingtang stared at Bai Wanrou who had entered the state and finished making the first piece of jewelry in a few seconds. The envy in her eyes almost filled the whole room.
Bai Wanrou put the agate bracelet on her hand and looked at it, and she did not forget to say: "Qingtang, come here and try it. In fact, I don't think it is difficult, as long as you work hard."
Knowing that his young lady would not respond to him with her entranced look, Qingtang simply sat where she was just now and listened to Lu Zhu's story again.
At that time, Bai Wanrou's thoughts were very complicated. In fact, she could see that the object in her hand still had many shortcomings. The biggest drawback was that it was not eye-catching enough.
She had no intention of asking all the servants in the house to help her open her shop, not to mention that there might be Bai Fengqi's spy in the yard.
Until all the troubles are eradicated, only the three of them can do these female celebrities' work for the time being.
If you only hold three or two pieces of jewelry to negotiate with others to sell them on behalf of others, you must have enough bargaining chips—strength.
But now it was obvious that she did not have such strength. While thinking, she lowered her head and glanced at Qingtang's progress, her heart skipped a beat, and she became even more worried.
In this case, is there any other way to make this sale successful?
Bai Wanrou thought about it, and her random glances fell on a porcelain vase in the room.
She slapped her head fiercely, yes, there are styles!
Thinking of this, she sat down on the chair while Luzhu and Qingtang couldn't spare any time, and began to draw on the rice paper.
Inadvertently, a drop of ink fell on the paper, creating a black halo.
"Miss, what are you doing sitting there?"
Qingtang was using the green bamboo method to refine the details, and when the latter got it, the first thing he did was to look for Bai Wanrou's figure in the room.
Bai Wanrou didn't raise her head when she heard the sound, but just thought about her words while answering: "We may have to change the way."
"Huh?" Lu Zhu didn't understand what she meant, so he subconsciously took a few steps forward.
However, Bai Wanrou shook her head and did not continue talking. She stared at the half-drawn paper in front of her in a daze.
Luzhu had no intention of disturbing her on purpose, so he had no choice but to retreat to the chair again.
"alright!"
Two voices sounded in the room at the same time. Bai Wanrou and Qingtang both slapped their free hands on the table at the same time. I don't know where the tacit understanding came from.
Luzhu, who was dozing off, was woken up by the sound. He was confused and confused, "What's going on?"
Qingtang also put down the poor jewelry in his hand, turned to look at Bai Wanrou, and saw the latter's face full of joy.
"We have a small quantity. If we want to negotiate a successful sale, we must have our own characteristics, that is, the form. I just drew a new bracelet. Come and see if it is feasible."
The three of them gathered in the room to discuss again. It wasn't until nightfall that Bai Wanrou stretched herself and solved the style problem.
At the same time, Chen Ruzhi, who had just returned from going out, took off his coat, and a faint voice sounded in the room.
"Has there been any change in the princess since I left the courtyard today?" This chapter has been completed!
