Chapter 123 The Pattern is Too Small

This is easy to say, but ordinary people don't have the courage. I'm afraid it would be good enough if they don't become weak in front of Princess Deyang.

Even after hearing the whole story, the villagers couldn't imagine that scene, let alone replicate it.

Bai Xiaocao raised her hand and said, "Auntie, is this considered an empty city plan?"

Bai Tao tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Well, that's fine."

While the villagers admired and respected Bai Tao, they were also a little worried.

From what I heard, Princess Deyang is not someone who is easy to deal with. What if she comes to her senses and causes trouble for me?

"Auntie, in that case, should we hurry and leave Qingzhou?"

"No need, just collect some crayfish for a few more days." The person who was following her was thrown off. Qingzhou City is not small, and it is not easy to find her.

Bai Tao's words made the people in Taohua Village think that she was worried about the crayfish, so Bai Dashan advised: "Auntie, how about this, you go first, and we continue to collect crayfish here for a few days?"

"No, I know what I'm doing. I'll set off in five days."

Logically speaking, Princess Deyang should not appear in Qingzhou. It would take nearly a month to travel from Qingzhou to Yancheng, the fief of Prince Pingxi, by traveling day and night.

In this case, the situation on the front line must be tense again, or there must have been another defeat, for the Prince of Pingxi to let his daughter leave the unsafe Yancheng.

Under such circumstances, Princess Deyang did not dare to create any more trouble, especially when she was unsure of Bai Tao's identity.

Seeing Bai Tao's insistence, the villagers had no choice but to agree.

For this reason, they were more vigilant and would pay attention to whether there were any strangers lurking near the inn when entering or leaving, and they would only ask the waiter to deliver water to the gate of the courtyard.

In order to reassure the villagers, Bai Tao did not go out again. She was either in the mall studying the various accessories in the Wuyi Wholesale Market, or asking Bai Duoxi to tinker with new food.

When she was interested, she took out a stall selling skewers of delicious food, and if the little kids in the village memorized the lessons well, they would be rewarded with the right five skewers.

Some children would only recite their lessons actively after being beaten twice by their parents. Now, their parents don’t need to use a ruler to punish them. They will actively recite their lessons before dawn.

Looking at the villagers' admiring eyes, Bai Tao was proud. As children, all they do is eat, drink and play.

With the stimulation of new food, and seeing that friends around them all have it, if they don’t study hard, they won’t have it, and they may not even be able to play with them, so they will naturally become motivated.

Pearl butterfly hairpins cost twenty coins a pack, and there are fifty pairs in it, which is equivalent to 0.4 coins a pair.

Judging from the reactions of Princess Deyang and others, this kind of hairpin is extremely popular, otherwise Huang Fuqing would not have come to their door to give them the Night Pearl.

So, Bai Tao waved her hand and priced the hairpins at fifty taels a pair, while the bracelets were a little more expensive, at thirty taels each.

Following the path of modern luxury goods, the main purpose is to cheat the powerful people's money.

As for how much Huang Fuqing’s silver shop can be sold for at that time, that is his business.

Huang Fuqing has been extremely nervous these past two days and often cannot sleep at night.

He also knew that it was extremely impulsive for him to go up like that, especially since he didn't know the identity of the young nobleman even after he gave the pearl away.

What if you meet a scammer... No, no, no, it can't be a scammer.

Those pearl hairpins and pearl bracelets are truly exquisite.

He can't be a liar if he can easily take out so many exquisite things!
If I can satisfy the young noble this time and get in touch with him, I won't be afraid of being suppressed by those big trading companies in the future.

When Bai Duojin brought two people and the booklet specially printed by Bai Tao to Huang's Cloth Shop, they saw a man walking back and forth at the door of the cloth shop before they even entered.

Judging from his appearance, it must be Huang Fuqing who gave my aunt the pearls.

"Are you Mr. Huang from Huang's Cloth Shop?" This voice sounded like heavenly music to Huang Fuqing.

He was originally pacing with his hands behind his back, but when he heard this, he turned around abruptly, his eyes full of joy: "Yes, yes, it's me, it's me, you were sent by the young noble, right?"

Great, it’s finally here.

In fact, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, but Huang Fuqing had been living a miserable life these past two days, and today he had arrived at the cloth shop early in the morning to wait.

Bai Duojin nodded: "Yes, our aunt sent me here to discuss cooperation with you."

"Come on, come on, come in, come in." Huang Fuqing excitedly grabbed Bai Duojin's hand and shouted to the cloth shop, "Hurry up, buddy, make some tea. Make the Longjing tea I just brought."

Bai Duojin had a perfect smile on his face: "Mr. Huang, you are too polite."

"It should, it should."

Huang Fuqing enthusiastically introduced the situation in his cloth shop to Bai Duojin and the other two. At the end, he said, "I hurriedly went to see the young nobleman two days ago. It was really abrupt and my preparations were not complete enough."

"I prepared some small gifts today, and these pieces of cloth were just delivered this month. I would like to ask Steward Bai to help me present them to the young nobleman."

Huang Fuqing: "Of course, I have already prepared the gifts for Manager Bai and the other two."

Bai Duojin: "Boss Huang is thoughtful."

He did not refuse, and the other two villagers just smiled at Huang Fuqing in a friendly manner.

The three of them were muttering in their hearts, not knowing what the gift was. They would take it back and give it to their aunt when the time comes. Her aunt would definitely be happy.

Huang Fuqing had no idea how many people Bai Duojin would bring with him, but he had prepared several gifts early on, so when he saw that there were three people coming, he could naturally deal with it calmly.

After both parties sat down, Bai Duojin took out the booklet, opened it and handed it over to Huang Fuqing under his expectant gaze.

"This is the booklet. Our aunt said that everything on it is fine."

When Huang Fuqing saw the booklet with beautifully crafted paper and lifelike pictures, his jaw dropped for a long time.

No wonder the young noble was so rude to Princess Deyang. The young noble’s background must be terrifying. You’d better keep your mouth shut and stop being curious.

As he turned the pages one by one, his eyes widened and his breathing became heavy when he saw the various ornaments in the booklet.

"This, these, these...are they all okay?"

He originally thought that it would be good enough to have one or two.

I never thought that my vision was too narrow.

The young noble lady is worthy of being a young noble lady. She arranged so many things for me.

Bai Duojin certainly knew why Huang Fuqing was so shocked. He almost dropped his jaw when he first got the booklet and read it.

There are too many and they are too exquisite. From what my aunt said, it would not be a problem to pick out fifty or sixty pieces of jewelry from the booklet.

There are more than a hundred kinds of things in this booklet.

Bai Duojin seemed not to understand what Huang Fuqing meant. He smiled faintly and spoke in a casual tone as if asking if the weather was nice today.

"Our aunt said that since you are sensible, she will give you a chance to try."

Huang Fuqing was overjoyed when he heard this. Of course he knew why. How sensible was he? Of course it was the beads given to him two days ago.
