In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Shangguan Fusheng smiled, but it was a bitter smile.

When the Qingzhou governor came to greet him, he saw Shangguan Fusheng laughing like this...

The prefect of Qingzhou was horrified. Ah, had he offended Shangguan Fusheng again?

He looked up at Shangguan Fusheng, and was already thinking in his heart that this was not the first or second time that Shangguan Fusheng had smiled like this.

I'll have to ask Shangguan Fusheng later if he doesn't like me.

The Qingzhou governor forced a smile and said to everyone, "Come on, Lady Bai has been waiting in the main hall for a long time, please come in quickly."

As he said this, he held out his hand and let them in.

Shangguan Fusheng said to the Qingzhou governor as he walked: "Last time, Lady White asked us to go over and help cut the ribbon, and we agreed."

"But...what is this ribbon cutting?"

Before they open a store, they usually offer sacrifices to three animals or perform lion dances. So what is ribbon cutting?

The prefect of Qingzhou said, "I heard that this is a method of opening a shop that was passed down by Liangzhou merchants. It was created by White Snake. Before opening a shop, you have to take a large piece of red silk and have a person of high moral character or a person of good fortune and longevity cut it with red scissors. Cutting out a lucky number symbolizes a new beginning."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

They didn't have the courage to ask last time, but this time, after becoming more familiar with Bai Lu, they felt comfortable enough to ask.

After everyone sat down, Bai Lu briefly explained the process, and they understood, "It turns out that cutting the ribbon is so simple."

The wealthy businessman Wang laughed loudly and said to Bai Lu, "Just cut it with scissors? That's easy, that's easy, I'll be the first one to cut it later."

"How can you be the first one to cut the hair? The head of the Shangguan family should be the first one to cut the hair."

Several other wealthy businessmen made fun of Wang, and when Wang saw Bai Lu, he forgot about Shangguan Fusheng.

Shangguan Fusheng smiled slightly and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if he cuts it first."

Bai Lu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "No matter which one you come in, you will all get your hair cut together. The position doesn't matter."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

At this time, Shangguan Fusheng picked up the Night-Shining Pearl that Bai Lu had given him before and praised it to Bai Lu: "The Night-Shining Pearl absorbs sunlight during the day and emits a bright green light at night... The Night-Shining Pearl is also very large, it is really a very rare treasure. Thank you, Lady Bai, for thinking of us."

Shangguan Fusheng raised his head, his eyes met Bai Lu's, and said to her, "Lady Bai, do you have any other night-shining pearls at home? If you do, no matter how big or small, you can sell that night-shining pearl to me. My grandfather also likes this night-shining pearl very much, so I will buy another one for him."

If he gave the night-shining pearl given by Bai Lu to his grandfather, Bai Lu would probably be unhappy, so he directly told Bai Lu that he wanted to buy a night-shining pearl.

Shangguan Fusheng added: "I am willing to buy it no matter how much it costs. White Lady, please name a price."

After hearing Shangguan Fusheng speak, the other wealthy businessmen looked at each other and quickly said to Bai Lu, "Yes, yes, Lady Bai, we wanted to ask you before, can you sell me the Night Pearl? My daughter and son both like the Night Pearl."

"...Oh, I only have one legitimate daughter and one legitimate son. I like both of them. I can't split the night pearl in half and give it to them."

Seeing that Zheng had spoken, Li, who was pregnant, also spoke up: "Mrs. Bai, if you have any extra ones, can you sell one to me?"

The wealthy businessman Wang beside him also nodded: "I want one, too."

Several wealthy businessmen spoke up one after another, they all wanted the extra night-shining pearls.

But they also knew that Bai Lu probably didn't have that many night pearls in her hands.

The reason why they all spoke up one after another at this time was that they wanted to bid later, and the highest bidder would win.

Several wealthy businessmen looked at each other with sparks in their eyes, and it seemed that they were about to suppress each other.

Seeing the atmosphere around them change in an instant and become turbulent, Bai Lu felt a headache.

She covered her head and immediately said to everyone with a smile: "I do have extra night-shining pearls in my hand, a total of six... I won't keep them for myself. If you want them, you can take one each."

When they heard that Bai Lu still had six in her hand, everyone was stunned, and there was surprise in their eyes.

There are still six!!!

They thought there weren't many treasures like this left.

Bai Lu took in everyone's expressions and said to them with a smile, "I originally planned to keep these night-shining pearls for my children... but I only bought six from the Western Regions, and I have seven daughters in total. I also have several sons. If I divide the night-shining pearls like this, I'm afraid they will fight."

"So I thought about it and decided to just put all these things away as a collection."

"Now that everyone wants one, just give one to each of you."

This way there won't be a fight. Fortunately, there are still six of them, plus Shangguan Fusheng, five wealthy businessmen plus one, so there's nothing wrong with one for each of them.

Hearing this, everyone was happy. They all nodded with a smile and said to Bai Lu, "Thank you, Lady Bai, for giving up your love."

"Then we each pay two thousand taels of silver to buy this night-shining pearl. What do you think?"

Two thousand taels of silver?

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, making up a story: "Originally, I bought a night-shining pearl from the Western Regions for two thousand taels of silver, plus the travel expenses... it's a lot of money. But, we are all friends, and I will need your care in Qingzhou in the future, so I will sell it to you for two thousand taels of silver."

"I'll consider it a favor to you all. You can get this night-shining pearl for two thousand taels of silver."

Everyone was stunned and no one spoke for a long time.

Bai Lu was stunned and a little nervous when she saw that they hadn't spoken for such a long time.

Could it be that... they think two thousand taels of silver are not worth it?

"..."

After that, several wealthy businessmen slapped their thighs and said excitedly, "Oh my, that's too cheap, thank you so much, Lady White!"

"Yes, yes, we never dreamed of this price."

"We were originally thinking... to wait for you, Lady White, to negotiate the price, but we didn't expect you to sell it for only two thousand taels of silver!!"

"Okay, okay, we all owe Bai Niangzi a favor in the future. If you need our help in doing business in Qingzhou, just tell us directly."

They patted their thighs and chests, and assured Bai Lu: "Lady Bai! Sell this night-shining pearl to us now."

They looked as if they were afraid that Bai Lu would go back on her word.
