After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

Yan Ke frowned and looked up and down at Wan Ning in front of him with a look of disdain. He couldn't help but take a half step back and asked, "Aunt, what exactly is the strong thing that Zhuli shopkeeper is talking about? It sounds greasy."

Wan Ning deliberately teased her, and turned her head pretentiously, throwing her a greasy wink and making a "click" sound with her tongue against the roof of her mouth, and replied: "It's me, baby!"

"Ugh," Yan Ke immediately got goose bumps all over his body, and felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously made a sound of disgust, and at the same time reached out to touch Wan Ning's forehead. "It's not that hot, auntie. You're not saying these things because you're possessed by a ghost, are you? Don't worry, I will definitely find the best Taoist priest for you."

Wan Ning pulled Yan Ke's hand down, regretting how she had to say these clichéd modern internet memes without restraint. How should she explain this to them? She had no choice but to bite the bullet and change the subject with an awkward smile: "It was just a joke, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be back to normal in a second!"

So under the questioning eyes of Yan Ke and Ming Xu, Wan Ning pretended to shake her head and immediately put on a normal face. She forced the topic back to the main task she came here for today.

"Mingxu, we are not here to buy anything today. Instead, we have something important to discuss with Shopkeeper Zhuli. This may be an opportunity for Cuican Building."

Mingxu's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, but it was soon replaced by greater disappointment. He whispered, "But the shopkeeper and Mingzhu are not in the Brilliant Building now. I don't know when they will come back."

"It's okay, you're still here, aren't you?" Wan Ning encouraged him, "Since Shopkeeper Zhuli is confident in leaving the store to you alone, he must trust you and value your ability. Don't be afraid, I'll explain the cooperation plan to you first, and then you can tell them when they come back. But we can't wait too long, so we need to make a decision quickly."

Mingxu swallowed, as if to encourage himself, and nodded firmly: "Princess, please go ahead."

"It's like this. I found a great designer to design a few skirts with exquisite patterns, and found a well-known cloth shop to complete the production, but I lack a batch of suitable jewelry to match them. So I came here today to discuss cooperation. Whether it's ready-made jewelry or new designs, I need something that will make people's eyes shine and can match the clothes perfectly and complement each other." Wan Ning briefly introduced her plan.

Mingxu was obviously interested. With his limited experience, he judged that this was indeed a rare opportunity for Cuicanlou. He was anxious to promote Cuicanlou: "Princess, Cuicanlou is the best to do this. We have the most complete jewelry and the best suppliers." Then he thought of the suppliers in the past. Most of them had been taken away by his second uncle. Now things are different. He sighed and added: "Oh, that was in the past."

He squatted on the ground in frustration and helplessness, as if Cuicanlou had already lost this opportunity. But after all, Shopkeeper Zhuli helped him when he was in trouble, so she should repay the kindness and lend a helping hand to Cuicanlou when it was in trouble.

Wan Ning changed her tone and added, "No, I don't need an existing jewelry style because someone must have seen it before. I need a completely new design that will definitely fit the clothes and give people a refreshing feeling. So, there is a chance for Cuicanlou."

Wan Ning looked down at Mingxu who was squatting on the ground, looked at his expectant eyes and asked, "Is there a jewelry designer in Cuican Building?"

Mingxu was stunned at first, then nodded immediately: "Yes, there is no designer in the world better than Shopkeeper Zhuli. The shopkeeper will definitely meet the princess's requirements."

"It has to be quick! We are in a tight time frame, so the period from order receipt to delivery is relatively short. Can this be met?" Wan Ning asked.

Seeing his puzzled look, Yan Ke added, "Did you know that the palace will hold a talent show at the beginning of next year?"

"know."

"The designed jewelry is for them. This is just a test. If we can seize the opportunity to promote Cuicanlou's original jewelry, more people will surely come to purchase Cuicanlou's jewelry after the new year. Don't miss the opportunity." Yan Ke reminded him casually.

Mingxu nodded. He wanted to agree to it, but Zhuli Shopkeeper hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't make a decision. He was also worried that if he rashly agreed on behalf of the shopkeeper, it would delay the princess's important event. After all, this had never been done before in the Brilliant House. So he was in a very tangled state and whispered, "Princess, can you give me a day to wait for the shopkeeper to come back and let her make the decision?"

"Of course," Wan Ning agreed readily. After all, she still had to stay in Nanye City for a few more days, so she could afford to wait for a day.

"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess." Mingxu immediately stood up and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to them both.

"You're welcome, we'll come again tomorrow," Wan Ning said to Ming Xu, then turned to Yan Ke and suggested, "It's still early, let's go shopping in other stores later. I heard that many new stores have opened in the market, and I'm always in a hurry every time I go out, so it's rare for me to go shopping."

"Of course," Yan Ke agreed excitedly, and then pulled Wan Ning away.

They had just left the house, but their words kept lingering in Mingxu's mind, especially the sentence "Let's go to other stores later, I heard that many new stores have opened in the market." In his ears, it seemed to become "Let's go to other stores later, and settle down in other stores if they are suitable! I heard that Zhuli's second uncle, the shopkeeper, opened a new store, so settle down in his store."

Thinking of this, Mingxu became flustered and almost couldn't stand. He was afraid that he would lose such a good opportunity, which would cause Cuicanlou to have no chance to turn around and have to close the store. He, Mingzhu and Zhuli would all have to set up stalls on the street, and his second uncle would even come to the stall to humiliate them.

So he ran out of the door and anxiously followed the direction the princess and the county lord left, waving his hands and shouting behind them: "Wait, wait!"

Wan Ning and Yan Ke, who heard the voice, were standing in front of a stall selling wooden hairpins. They turned back to look at Ming Xu, who was panting. He was breathing heavily and appeared in front of them with difficulty but quickly. He snatched the wooden hairpin from the princess and said breathlessly, "Miss, please...decide on it. Cuicanlou...Cuicanlou is fine. We will definitely...definitely not let you down. I agree on behalf of the shopkeeper. You don't have to look at other shops. This...this wooden hairpin..."

Mingxu raised the wooden hairpin with difficulty, and took out some money from his pocket, saying: "The wooden hairpin... does not... meet your needs, and is not worthy of your status. This one is not suitable for you, so let someone like me buy it."

The vendor on the side saw someone rushing over and saying a bunch of strange things, and hindering his business, and was about to get angry and drive him away. At this time, Mingxu threw the money in his hand to the boss, tilted his head and panted, saying: "This... I bought it, no need to change."

The vendor's face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly handed over the box: "Sir, take it."
