My Cute Princess Grows Up

Spring in Jiangnan came early, peach blossoms were red, willow trees were green, grass grew in the wind, everywhere was full of vitality.

Bai Qianfan took his oil-paper umbrella and placed it on the wall. She then said to the two people in the room: "Miss Sun has seen the culinary skills of the bay leaf, and is very happy. She said that in the future, all of our socks will be here for embroidery."

Yue Xiang was overjoyed: "That's great, there's another regular customer now."

The laurel poured cold water on the side, "Embroidery of a pair of socks is only five sons of age, yet it takes a whole day of effort. If we continue like this, we will only earn a few strands of money per month. How can that be enough for us to live on?"

Yue Xiang pointed to the bright red bridal dress on the stage and said: "Don't we still have wedding clothes? Just this one is already worth five silvers, we also have embroidered shoes, a bridal veil and the like, we can all earn money."

"But from the opening till now, we've only bought this single thing. There aren't that many people in the town, so how hard is it to marry someone? I say that we shouldn't have settled down here in the first place and go to the city."

Bai Qianfan laughed dryly, "Originally, it was because there were no city gates, making it convenient to run around any time, furthermore, the scenery is good, it is fine if there are fewer people, but we can buy a carriage, I will go into the city for a business trip, on the way there, I can also bring some people over, and earn some money from the journey."

"Come on, do you know how much it costs to buy a carriage? How much does it cost to keep a horse? "Also, you are too considerate. Look at these colorful silk threads, they are all top quality goods taken from the silk workshop, and with hard work, there is not much profit at all. Other embroidery shops use medium quality thread, and the prices are still the same.

"Using the best thread, first, it looks good, and secondly, it's not that difficult for you and Yue Xiang to sew it together. The customers coming to take the item are all praising us."

"Can't you praise me? At the same price, the goods are more than 20% better than the rest. "

Yue Xiang tried to smooth things over: "It's alright, as long as we have good things and have a good reputation, our business will be more prosperous in the future."

Yue Guiyi harrumphed, not denying anything.

Bai Qianfan was about to speak when she heard someone call out from outside: "Brother Fan, is Brother Fan here?"

Bai Qianfan responded as she ran out. Seeing Joy standing at the foot of the stairs, she smiled at her, "Brother Fan, I dropped my kite on the tree. Can I trouble you to help me get it?"

Bai Qianfan raised her head and looked at the kite hanging on the tree. "No problem.

She pulled her robe around her waist, kicked up the tree trunk with both hands, and went up like a monkey, through the thick foliage, reached the kite, and pulled gently, the string caught on the branch and wouldn't let go. She leaned sideways, one hand on the branch, the other holding the kite up in the air.

Yue Gui, who was inside, heard the conversation from outside and hurriedly walked out. Seeing this, she said to Yue Yang unhappily, "We, A Fan, are not your servants, why do we keep ordering him around? You want him to climb such a tall tree? If he falls and falls, can you afford it? "

His mother was unhappy when she heard it from the inside, so she came out and pulled at his ear, "How many times have I told you? Don't go and provoke that family. If you don't listen, you will be scolded." His status is noble, how could you order him around?

With a sad face, Joy said, "My kite …"

"No need, mom will buy you a good one later."

Bai Qianfan had already taken down the kite inside the car, "Happy, here you go."

"We don't want it." Happy Nun turned her head and glanced at him with disdain. "You've picked it up, so I'll give it to you."

Yue Gui was so angry that she ran over, snatched the kite and was about to throw it inside her door when Bai Qianfan threw it back at her. "Don't throw it, be careful not to break it.

"Why can't you tell what's good for you?" "If you want a kite, I'll buy it for you. Why would you want it when others don't want it?"

"Don't I have to spend money to buy it?" Bai Qianfan hid the kite behind her back, preventing her from stealing it again.

Yue Xiang looked at them and shook her head, "If you have something to say, come back and say it.

Bai Qianfan smiled at Yue Guiyi, then ran into the door with the kite. Yue Gui followed helplessly.

As soon as she entered the door, she started to criticize him, "I am not talking about you. Although we are commoners now, you have to take your status into consideration, you can't order all kinds of cats and dogs around. Also, you can't do dangerous things. It's easy for you to get along with anyone, and now even a seven or eight year old child wants to bully you. Some will tell you to climb trees today, some will tell you to climb walls tomorrow, and some won't know what to do next. If this goes on, you will become his follower. "

"It's not like that. He likes me and wants to play with me," Bai Qianfan explained: "I'm still a brat right now, so if I don't want him to play, could I be playing amongst the girls? "Then we won't be exposed?"

"You're still young after all, so what's wrong with being surrounded by girls?" Yue Guiyi said, "In the end, you're still a girl, so it's inconvenient for you to hang around with a bunch of half-grown kids. You should just be a girl, right?"

No, like I said, a family must have a man, otherwise they will bully us. I know some kung fu, it's convenient to pretend to be a kid and walk around outside. Even if someone wants to hit on us, they wouldn't dare to act rashly." "In the future, when all of you have found a husband, and I have a brother-in-law, I will return to being a lady.

Seeing that Yue Gui was going to say more, Yue Xiang quickly interjected, "I think what A Fan said is right, in this kind of place that we are not familiar with, the three girls are not suitable to support our entire family. It is inconvenient for us to go out to do things, there are a lot of things that we need her to do.

Yue Guiyi sighed, "I was just feeling sorry for her. She used to be a rich and precious person, but now she's fallen onto a tree and got a kite."

"I already said that I'll be the younger brother, but you're still treating me as your master." Bai Qianfan said, "Let's forget about what happened in the past, just take it as if you are from Jiangnan, eat here, wear here clothes, your accent will have to slowly change, this way you won't be easily caught."

Yue Lao scoffed. "Nothing happened for so long. I don't think the prince has sent anyone to find us. We don't need to hide. We can just live our lives in the open."

Bai Qianfan laughed, "If it's like this, then it's not bad, maybe he would have already married Huangfu Zhuer as his main wife, and wouldn't even remember me."

The tone was self-deprecating, but the smile on his face could not hide the trace of melancholy in his eyes. No matter how much time had passed, as long as he loved her, he would always leave a shallow mark in his heart. But to her, that was not a shallow mark. It was clearly a scar so deep that the bones could be seen. No one knew that at midnight, when she woke up, she was licking her wounds alone in the dark.
