Chapter 41 The Sneaky Dog and the Qu Family Mother and Daughter

Qu Jingyao got on the carriage and looked at the carriage filled with things. The corners of her mouth twitched. Well, they were all bought by her.

After the master and servant sat down, Bai Guo shouted to the coachman outside that it was time to go, and the carriage slowly drove towards the city gate.

Qu Jingyao was bored, so she lifted a corner of the car window curtain and looked at the bustling market and the endless stream of people outside.

"Master, Ruyang City is quite lively here." Bai Guo muttered, supporting his chin.

When the carriage passed through a small alley, Qu Jingyao happened to see through the window that Old Lady Xu was leading Qu Huaer and her daughter towards a courtyard, looking around like thieves.

Her eyebrows furrowed, wondering why the mother and daughter came here.

Bai Guo called out to his master twice but saw no response from her, so he reached out and pushed her.

"Master? Master?"

"Um...what's wrong?" Qu Jingyao's thoughts were interrupted. She turned around and asked Bai Guo suspiciously.

Bai Guo chuckled and muttered, "Master, what are you looking at? I called you several times but you didn't respond."

When Qu Jingyao shook her head and looked out the window again, the person had disappeared.

She began to talk about what she had just seen with Bai Guo, wondering what the mother and daughter were going to do next.

Baiguo's face darkened, and then he asked seriously if she should go and find out.

"Go check it out later."

"Yes, master."

When passing by the dried fruit shop, Qu Jingyao asked Baiguo to go downstairs and buy some dried fruits and snacks. At this time, she promised to bring some delicious food for Lingling.

Shunhezhai is a famous snack and dried fruit shop in Ruyang City.

Qu Jingyao asked the carriage to wait on the side while she went to the study.

The shopkeeper was an old man with a white beard, sitting at the desk reading a book. Next to him were two men in scholar's robes flipping through books.

Seeing Qu Jingyao walking in from afar, they were suddenly stunned, stunned by her exquisite face.

When did such a stunning beauty appear in Ruyang City...

"Boss, I need some rice paper and brushes and ink. Could you recommend some?"

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, the old man called the young man behind him.

"Miss, please come this way. Here is some Xuan paper. The ordinary kind is a bit rougher and costs eight hundred coins a piece. The finer ones cost one ounce of silver a piece. We have pine soot ink, tung soot ink, lacquer soot ink, and other finer ones... Which one would you like?"

Qu Jingyao thought about it, then smiled and said that they all wanted the best.

The young man was stunned by her smile. The old man beside him raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then coughed lightly, which made him wake up.

"Excuse me, I'll get it for the girl right away."

He said this awkwardly and turned around to prepare things. Qu Jingyao didn't pay much attention to his state. She turned around and started looking through the bookshelf.

The two students who were reading just now kept their eyes full of amazement on Qu Jingyao.

A moment later, the young man came up to Qu Jingyao with the packed things.

"Miss, here are the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone you requested. They cost exactly fifteen taels of silver."

Qu Jingyao smiled, took the money, paid the money and turned to leave the shop.

The old man behind him looked at the man whose eyes were still glued to Qu Jingyao who had already walked away, and reminded him softly:

“The person has gone far away.”

The man turned around awkwardly and went back.

Qu Jingyao had just gotten on the carriage when Baiguo returned soon.

"Master has bought it."

"Let's go!" The driver cracked the whip and continued driving out of the city.

This horse-drawn carriage was much faster than an ox-drawn cart and it quickly returned to the village.

Just as he stopped in front of the courtyard, Qu Qingchen came back from the back mountain. He walked forward with confusion and was about to ask, when he saw Baiguo and his sister getting out of the car.

"Yaoyao, did you guys go to town? What did you buy?"

"Brother, help me move it."

As they talked, they moved the things into the house one by one. Liu and Cuilian, mother and daughter, looked at the things moved into the house with their eyes wide open. What if this child is not alive?

Baiguo paid for the carriage, returned to the yard, closed the front door, and isolated himself from the villagers who were eager to hear the news.

"Oh, did the Liu family and their son make a fortune?"

"The carriage is already in place, tsk tsk tsk..."

Bai Guo shouted something outside, and then those people dispersed.

Baiguo walked into the room angrily. Liu and the others were asking why they bought so many fabrics and embroidery frames today.

Qu Jingyao smiled and explained to a few people that she would tell everyone what to do later and asked them to wait and see.

She called out to Baiguo to hand over the money he had earned from selling the goods today.

"Aunt, this is the money for the two rabbit skins. They sell for one ounce of silver each in town, so I'll give them that price."

As she handed over two taels of silver, Aunt Cui Lian said she didn't want anything. Qu Jingyao refused and insisted with a fierce face that they should accept it.

Liu also tried to persuade her, but finally Aunt Cui Lian had no choice but to accept the silver with embarrassment.

"Then I'll shamelessly accept it."

Liu also knew that her family was indeed in trouble, and she had a mother-in-law who had to take medicine every day.

At this time, Qu Jingyao took out the silver money from selling pearl flowers today, took out a silver ingot and pushed it in front of Aunt Cui Lian and her daughter.

"Auntie, this is the wages for you and Lingling for the past two days."

She explained that all the pearl flowers she had sent today were sold out. When the mother and daughter heard her words, they widened their eyes in shock and opened their mouths so wide that eggs could be stuffed in.

"Really? Oh my God!"

Aunt Cui Lian said she would not accept anything this time. Even if it was calculated as wages, she couldn't give so much!

Lingling urged her to take it back quickly, saying that they had shamelessly accepted the two taels of silver. Even if they took the rabbit skin to the town to sell it, it would not fetch more than two taels of silver, as the buyers in the shop would bargain for it.

Qu Jingyao laughed and explained that they should just accept the money, as she still had something she needed her aunt's help with.

"What's the matter? You're being polite to your aunt."

"I want Aunt to help me find some good-natured people in the village who won't be lazy or play tricks, so that we can make beads together. I also need to come up with some other styles, and I'm a little too busy to handle them all."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Liu asked doubtfully, "Are the number of them not enough?"

She smiled and explained that she bought these cloths today for use, so there were not enough people to make the beads, so she asked her aunt to help find two.

Aunt Cui Lian agreed readily.

"I'll take care of this, don't worry. Widow Fu in our village is raising a child alone, and her life is very tight. But she is very skillful, her work is very meticulous, and she likes to talk. What do you think?"

After Aunt Cui Lian finished speaking, Liu nodded in agreement. That widow Fu was indeed a good person.

"I think the fifth grandmother's second daughter-in-law, Yu, is also an honest person, and she is also very skillful and dexterous."

"Yes, yes, the Yu family is indeed good. The man came back from the battlefield with a broken leg and was often suppressed and bullied by the eldest wife."

Qu Jingyao listened to what her mother and Aunt Cui Lian said, nodded silently, and asked Aunt Cui Lian to ask these two people tomorrow.
