The other lady nodded, her tone full of contempt:

"That's right! I used to hear people gossiping about Wanwan being unfilial, but now it seems that Wanwan is not unfilial at all.

This father is such a jerk! He drove his wife and daughter away during the famine, and now that Wanwan has become capable, he comes to take advantage of her. How can such a cheap thing happen in the world?

Another lady glanced at Lin Zaozao who was not far away and said in a low voice:

"He was very warm to the girl next to him. I always thought she was his biological daughter, but why was he so cold to Wanwan?

Now it seems that he gave all the good things to others and only schemed against his own daughter!"

"No wonder Wanwan was so excited just now. Anyone would be furious if they were treated like this by their own father!"

Lin Dasheng was furious: "If it weren't for you being a disaster star, why would I do this! A fortune teller once said that Bai Wanwan was a disaster star..."

Zhiwei said loudly:

"Nonsense! Even the first imperial advisor of our dynasty said that our young lady is the lucky star of the Great Qi Dynasty. Are you more capable than the imperial advisor?

The Imperial Master said, those who are close to our young lady will be rich..."

Lin Zao Zao snorted coldly and said, "Who heard what the National Master said? It's hard to say whether what the National Master said is true or not."

Then he saw the Imperial Master slowly walk out from the bamboo forest not far away and said, "What she said is true. Bai Wanwan is indeed the lucky star of our Great Qi Kingdom."

Many young ladies from aristocratic families looked at the Imperial Master, their eyes brightening. Several young ladies gathered together, twisting their handkerchiefs between their fingertips and whispering:

"Is that the Imperial Master?

How can she be so young? She looks like she is only about ten years old."

Someone nearby nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with confusion: "That's right! I thought the Imperial Preceptor was a respected elder, but I never thought he would be so young."

A lady who knew some of the inside story said with a bit of awe in her tone:

"You probably don't know yet, right? This Imperial Master was personally appointed by His Majesty!

Don't look at his young age, he is now second only to the emperor in the court, and even the civil and military officials have to show respect to him when they see him!"

The man who was being talked about seemed to have noticed something and glanced at them calmly.

The gaze was as cold as if soaked in snow. The ladies immediately fell silent and subconsciously took half a step back.

Without looking any further, the man turned around and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest. His steps were slow but with a sense of distance that did not want to be disturbed. He soon disappeared into the layers of bamboo shadows.

Only a group of people were left behind looking at his back, still a little dazed.

The ladies immediately surrounded them, talking one after another:

"Oh, Wanwan! That's our Great Qi's Imperial Master!

If I could have him tell my family's fortune, whether it's about the children's future or the family's fortune, I'd be relieved!"

Several ladies even grabbed Bai Wanwan's arms and kept begging:

"Wanwan, since you know the Imperial Master, could you please plead for us?

Even if it's just a question about marriage or a safe marriage, that's fine!"

Bai Wanwan quickly broke free and shook her head helplessly:

"My apologies, ladies. I've heard the Imperial Master mention before that his divinations only concern the fate of the nation.

He never predicts marriages or fortunes for anyone; that's his rule, and I really can't bring myself to ask."

"You really know the Imperial Preceptor?" A lady's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward to ask, "Then why is the Imperial Preceptor in Qingshui County today? Is there something important going on?"

Bai Wanwan nodded, her tone sincere:

"I do know him. The Imperial Master once said that there is an auspicious aura lingering around me.

He said that good things might happen in the future, and he probably came this time to see the source of this auspicious sign."

"Since this is an auspicious place, you should come here more often in the future!"

A lady's eyes lit up, and she took Bai Wanwan's hand and said:

"Wanwan, besides selling horses, do you have any houses for sale?

I thought I might as well buy a house here so I can live close by and get more of the auspicious energy."

As soon as these words came out, the other ladies immediately echoed:

"Yes, yes! This place has the auspicious signs that the Imperial Master mentioned. It may become increasingly popular in the future. If you don't buy it now, it will probably be even harder to find in the future!

I also want to book a suite, preferably one that is spacious enough to accommodate several people in my family."

Bai Wanwan listened, then laughed and poured cold water on him:

"If you ladies really want to buy a house, you have to be prepared. The price of my house is not cheap.

After all, this is a house I plan to live in for a long time, so I’ve chosen the best materials and workmanship.”

The lady who had previously ordered five horses waved her hand and said, "What's the big deal if it's a little expensive? As long as the house is good and auspicious, spending a little more money is worth it!"

Seeing their resolute attitude, Bai Wanwan nodded and said:

“I do have a house, and I dare say that my house is built with more care than other places.

The exterior walls and courtyard are made of blue bricks, which are strong and durable and will not leak even on rainy days.

The roof is covered with thick tiles, and even the beams are made of high-quality wood. You can live here for decades without any problems."

As she spoke, she led everyone eastward:

“It just so happens that all the properties are there, I’ll take you to see the real scene.

The interior layout is also designed for comfort. The large houses have front and back yards, and the smaller ones also have a small garden. The window paper used is highly translucent, so the house is very bright.

If you find any that you like, we can discuss the price in detail."

In the blink of an eye, another house was sold?

Lin Zaozao and Lin Dasheng were also speechless. Bai Wanwan became more and more enthusiastic in her sales promotion. She really had great potential.

She is really suitable for selling goods. In her previous life, she should have been an anchor. Wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?

Bai Wanwan led everyone to the Grand Canal and pointed to a group of houses along the riverbank:

"Look, everyone, the houses here are all built next to the canal.

Standing in the courtyard, you can see the river view. It will be convenient to take a boat out in the future, and it will even save you a lot of walking when buying things."

She walked to the gate of a house first, pushed open the wooden door and said with a smile:

"Come, I'll show you this model house. Let's not talk about the inside, just look at the exterior walls. They're all made of large blue bricks and bluestones, which are much stronger than ordinary adobe houses.

Even if there is heavy rain or strong wind, there is no need to worry about collapse."

After entering the courtyard, the ladies were immediately attracted by the small flower bed in the corner. Bai Wanwan then introduced it:

"Every house has a small courtyard like this. If you want to plant flowers or grass, or build a grape trellis or set up a stone table for tea, there is always room.

The yard is paved with bluestone, so you can walk on it even on rainy days without getting muddy."

As he spoke, he led the way into the house. Everyone was stunned when they entered. The house actually had two floors, and the wooden stairs were against the wall, polished to a smooth and shiny finish.

"This is a two-story house. You probably haven't seen one before, have you?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and stepped onto the stairs:

"The first floor is spacious and can accommodate a large round table. It is where we usually entertain guests, cook and live.

The second floor is the bedroom, which also has a small terrace. It is so comfortable to stand on the terrace at night, feel the river breeze and look at the moon.
