Three days later, Yu Ruyue made up for all the banquets that Shen Jiaojiao had previously taken on!

Not counting the deposit, he made another 1000 taels of silver.

When she came to Moxiang Bookstore again, Lin Bowen's face was flushed. He stepped forward to greet her with a smile, "Ruyue, you're finally here. Look at this threshold, it's almost been trampled by those brats."

Yu Ruyue followed Lin Bowen into the inner hall and saw him take out a long list. After a rough calculation, she found that 123 people had ordered this schoolbag in just three days, and the deposit alone amounted to taels.

After delivering these schoolbags, she can earn a total of 2214 taels. Although it seems that she can't make money faster than holding banquets, this is more sustainable. After all, this is a county town, who would hold banquets every day?

She was satisfied with this.

"Take a look! I wrote this down according to your request. I clearly wrote down who wanted bamboo and who wanted orchids. I also wrote down my name if I wanted it embroidered on it."

Yu Ruyue nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Lin. I'll take this list back now and have them work overtime to finish it."

“We must deliver as soon as possible.”

To be honest, Lin Bowen didn't expect that this thing would be so popular. In just three days, more than 100 people came to order it. If it were longer, I'm afraid even people from Liuzhou Prefecture would come to order it!

It really lived up to his expectations!

Lin Bowen looked at Dean Lin with some surprise.

"Huh!? Bro, how come you have time to come over?"

Dean Lin smiled and pulled out a long list from his pocket. "What else could it be? I heard from Yihao. What kind of schoolbags are you collaborating with Ruyue?"

"Yesterday I took Yihao to visit an old friend in Liuzhou Prefecture. The boy insisted on carrying a schoolbag. He showed it off there, and then a group of people came over and said they wanted to order it. They even gave me a deposit."

"That kid spent the entire afternoon there, and 87 people came to order this schoolbag. Each of them paid five taels of silver, a total of 453 taels. Count them."

Lin Bowen was amused to see his elder brother, who always regarded money as dirt, actually come to pay the money in person.

"Which old friend are you going to see? You've found yourself among the scholars again."

Dean Lin immediately shook his head, inexplicably saying, "He went to Tianqing Academy to see their dean!"

"As a result, this guy arranged this job for me."

"Oh right! How did you get to know that little girl? Lin Yihao said she didn't seem to know the relationship between you and me."

Lin Bowen then recounted how the two of them met, and Dean Lin couldn't help but sigh, "This little girl is indeed very smart."

The two chatted for a while, and soon someone else came to order a schoolbag. Lin Bowen was really too busy, so Dean Lin left.

When Yu Ruyue came the next day, preparing to rent a shop and develop her cake business, she received another 110 orders.

"How come there are over 100 in just one day?"

Lin Bowen laughed heartily. "I can only say that you picked the right person."

He told Yu Ruyue what happened yesterday again, which made her feel a little embarrassed. Lin Yihao really spared no effort to help!

We received over 200 orders just this time, which was really too many.

She decided to put the matter of renting a shop on hold for the time being, after all, she was not yet proficient in making cakes.

Just as she was about to let the matter go, Chunju came to her and said, "Ruyue, where have you been these past few days? I went to the same place you were, but I couldn't find you at all."

"There are several ladies and young ladies who hang around my young mistress every day, wanting to buy you to make that cake."

Yu Ruyue scratched her head a little embarrassedly. "I've had some things to do at home these past two days, so I haven't been to visit the young lady."

Chunju didn't say anything and took out four 1000-tael silver notes from her pocket and handed them over.

"Those people have heard that your cake is expensive, but they don't want such a big one, just one layer will do, plus the singing candles. I took 500 taels of silver as a deposit. If you think it's not enough, I, the young lady, will give you the rest."

"My mistress said you must finish these eight in the next two days. They are really clingy, and..."

Chunju looked left and right, then leaned over to Ruyue's ear and whispered, "These people are very useful to my young lady. If we can handle it this time, next time you come to the Li Mansion, you won't have to worry about people's faces. You can enter through the main gate openly."

Yu Ruyue looked surprised. Was it what she thought? Qin Wanrou was going to make a big move.

Chunju nodded quickly, looking like it was just what you thought.

Yu Ruyue quickly agreed, "Don't worry, even if I don't eat or sleep for the next two days, I will definitely deliver the things to the Li Mansion!"

Chunju's eyes immediately turned red. She took Yu Ruyue's hand and thanked her, "Thank you so much, Ruyue. You don't know how hard my young lady's life is."

"She married far away and had a lot of trouble with the master and mistress back home. She thought she could live a happy life here with her son-in-law, but she didn't expect her son-in-law to be unable to support the family and repeatedly condone others to harm our young lady in the name of filial piety."

"My young lady is still pregnant, but she's heartbroken!"

Yu Ruyue didn't know what had happened in the Li Mansion in the past few days, but just by listening to Chunju's description, she knew that Qin Wanrou must have experienced a lot of disappointing things in the past few days.

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply. It turned out that no matter in modern times or ancient times, once you enter into marriage, you enter into a grave. Marriage, marriage!

The creator of writing has long reminded us that marriage is when a woman is confused and imprisoned in that square world!

After the two separated, she was walking back when suddenly a ragged woman holding a little girl knelt down in front of the noble lady in front of her and begged, "Please, female Bodhisattva, please have mercy! My daughter and I haven't eaten for three days. I'm afraid my daughter is dying! Please help us."

The woman saw that she had often encountered this situation, so she took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and threw it into the woman's hand. Just as she was about to leave quickly, a group of men and women dressed as beggars surrounded her. Fortunately, the kind-hearted woman was accompanied by guards, so she managed to squeeze out of the crowd.

Yu Ruyue frowned slightly as she looked at the scene in front of her.

She remembered that when she first came to this world, there were not so many beggars!

In order to avoid being entangled, she lowered her head and hurriedly went around from the other side.

One could vaguely hear some beggars cursing God and some cursing the ruthless government. Only the woman who had gotten the money at the beginning hugged her daughter tightly and hid in a corner, waiting for an opportunity to leave.

Yu Ruyue suddenly remembered that, whether in modern times or ancient times, there seemed to be no female beggars parading around the streets, let alone a female beggar holding a little girl. You have to know that in ancient times, human trafficking was legal.

A terrible thought suddenly popped into her mind.

These people are not beggars, but...refugees!
