"Ah! Yaoyao, look at all the people here. It's great that our pearl flowers are so popular."

As he spoke, he pulled her into the crowd. He saw Liu standing beside Bai Guo with a helpless look on her face, and the girl opposite was crying with her hands covering her cheeks.

"Why don't you leave yet? Do you want to be beaten? If you're looking for trouble, I'll beat you until your teeth are all over the floor." Bai Guopi clenched his fingers with a forced smile, making them make a crackling sound.

The mother and daughter were so frightened that they quickly ran away from the crowd, and the people around them burst into laughter and shouted.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Qu Jingyao didn't say anything more. However, Lingling was still saying angrily that she came back late. If she had been there just now, she would have slapped the woman twice. The woman looked like she deserved a beating.

"Okay, let's clean up. There are a lot of people here right now."

Liu looked at the backs of the mother and daughter and shook her head.

Suddenly, two little girls came up to Qu Jingyao and timidly asked where she bought the pearl flowers in her bun, saying they were so beautiful!

"This! That's what we sell. The Ruyi Embroidery Workshop in town also sells our pearl flowers!"

Lingling squeezed in front of the two little girls and introduced them without waiting for her to speak.

By this time, Baiguo had already displayed all the pearl flowers.

Qu Jingyao pulled Liu to stand behind the stall and began to greet the crowd.

"Come take a walk and have a look! Don't miss it if you pass by, come and see all the beautiful pearl flowers! It's unique in Ruyang City!"

The young girls and wives around were attracted by Qu Jingyao's novel hawking voice, and they all stopped and came to the stall.

"These pearl flowers are quite unique."

"Yeah! It's so pretty!"

"Look how beautiful these three look in the bun."

Qu Jingyao and Lingling in front of the stall looked at each other, and they smiled and began to introduce their products to everyone. Even Baiguo, who was standing next to them, was not idle and was pulled by several young women.

Liu never expected that these people liked it so much. They stood in front of the stall with smiles on their faces and chatted with her from time to time.

"I want this."

Qu Jingyao picked up the pearl flower that the girl liked and said, "This pearl flower costs six hundred coins."

"It's so expensive!" The girl was obviously thinking of backing out. At this moment, the young woman next to her snatched the pearl flower from Qu Jingyao's hand and took out six hundred coins without hesitation and stuffed them into her hand.

Looking at the woman who turned and left, Qu Jingyao could only smile apologetically at the little girl.

In order to prevent this from happening again, Qu Jingyao explained to the selected guests:

"Everyone, our pearl-flowered silk brocade and silk cloth cost one tael of silver. The linen ones are slightly cheaper, costing six hundred coins. As for the rabbit fur ones, they are more expensive, costing two taels of silver. You can pick out some if you like."

When the people around heard what she said, many of them had already backed off and complained that it was too expensive. Could it be compared with the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop?

Lingling looked at Qu Jingyao anxiously. She calmly comforted Lingling, then smiled and explained to everyone:

"The pearl flowers sold at Ruyi Embroidery Workshop are made by our family, so the price is the same."

Hearing her words, two girls in the crowd suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "It's you! Are you selling pearl flowers here? That's great! My sisters at home all liked the pearl flowers you helped me pick out at Ruyifang before. I'm going to buy a few more for them this time."

The girl pulled Qu Jingyao's arm and begged her to help her choose.

Someone around recognized that the girl was the daughter of the Li family in the city. This time everyone believed what Qu Jingyao had just said and rushed to ask her to help choose.

Qu Jingyao was caught off guard and called for Baiguo and Lingling to help, and for her mother to help collect the money.

After a flurry of activity, all the pearl flowers were snapped up, and the young lady from the Li family just bought ten pearl flowers for herself.

Lingling looked at the stalls that were sold out and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. Liu didn't expect that today would be so smooth.

"Oh my God! Yaoyao, pinch me!"

Qu Jingyao walked up to her with a wicked smile and pinched her waist.

"Ouch! You're really pinching me!"

Seeing her pouting as if to act like a spoiled brat, Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile that she was just listening to her, so how could she blame her!

Liu looked at the two people fighting and shook her head helplessly with laughter, and ordered Baiguo to pack up the stall. They did not notice the envious eyes of several people at the stall nearby.

"Yaoyao, let's go burn incense." Liu picked up the small basket and reminded her. Qu Jingyao called Lingling and Baiguo and followed her mother into the temple.

At this time, there were many people burning incense in the temple. Looking at the incense burners with smoke rising from them, the incense covered the entire temple. In the main hall, one could faintly hear the sounds of Sanskrit and wooden fish.

"The incense here is very prosperous."

Liu smiled and nodded, looking towards the main hall. People from the surrounding villages all came to Lingshui Temple to burn incense. Even some wealthy families in Ruyang City would come on the first and fifteenth days of every month. The incense was indeed very popular.

Qu Jingyao asked Lingling and Baiguo to wait for her outside the hall, and also reminded Baiguo to keep an eye on Lingling.

"Master, don't worry."

Liu smiled and told the two of them to go sit under the big tree in the yard and rest for a while, and they would be back soon.

Qu Jingyao supported Liu and walked towards the main hall. A tall golden Buddha stood in the center of the hall, and believers below knelt down and prayed devoutly.

When she came to the Liu mother and daughter, she reached out and pulled her stunned daughter, indicating that she should kowtow to the Buddha together.

Qu Jingyao didn't have time to visit those temples in her previous life, but she still knew some of the steps of burning incense. Following Liu's actions, she also prayed devoutly.

After a while, Qu Jingyao helped Liu to get up. The mother and daughter donated some incense money before walking out of the hall.

Lingling in the yard was holding her chin in her hand, bored, until she saw Yaoyao, then she smiled, sat up straight and waved at her.

"Yaoyao here!"

Qu Jingyao and her daughter smiled and walked straight towards the two of them.

They didn't notice that there were some panicked figures in the crowd looking for their loved ones.

Qu Jingyao was grabbed from behind by a strange woman: "Niuniu?"

She frowned and looked at the strange woman, only to see her mumbling to herself in panic, "No! It's not my Niuniu, Niuniu, where are you?"

Liu's heart tightened when she saw the woman's appearance, and she tightly grasped her daughter's arm. Qu Jingyao sensed her mother's nervousness and quickly turned around to comfort her:

"Mom is fine." The mother and daughter quickly came to Baiguo and Lingling's side.

Qu Jingyao frowned and searched for the woman, thinking that the child must have been lost.

Liu reminded her that she should stop looking and go down the mountain first, as there were too many people. She held her daughter in one hand and Lingling in the other, and did not forget to call Baiguo to leave together and go down the mountain to wait for her brother!

Qu Jingyao and Lingling looked at each other with their lips twitching, and could only helplessly let their mother drag them out of the temple gate.

At this time, there were many shouts in front of the temple looking for their relatives.

Baiguo protected the three people behind him and watched the movements around him cautiously.

After an incense stick of time, several people came down the mountain and sat down at a tea stall on the side of the road.
