But soon, another carriage arrived, and a bright-eyed young girl stepped out.

"I've come uninvited, I hope I haven't bothered you," Pei Qingrong said with a smile.

Her smile, set against the backdrop of the blooming peonies in the courtyard, was dazzling and captivating.

Da Cheng's mind was a little dizzy for a moment, and he quickly rubbed his hands together, saying, "Welcome, welcome!"

Pei Qingrong saw a blush on his face and raised an eyebrow: "Captain Qiao, have you never seen a girl before?"

It's not like it's the first time I've seen her; she even took her two siblings out to play the other day.

"I—" Da Cheng didn't know how to respond for a moment. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and upset Pei Qingrong.

Qiao Lian'er came out to greet her: "Miss Pei, I've been thinking of you, but you weren't here yesterday, so I didn't get to greet you."

Pei Qingrong always looked at Qiao Lian'er with a hint of admiration.

It's hard to imagine that a thirteen-year-old county princess could earn her title through her own achievements.

"Sister Rong." Qiao Zhizhi stepped forward and took Pei Qingrong's arm. "I've been a bit busy these past few days. When I'm not so busy, I want to go out and play with you again."

Pei Qingrong is generous, straightforward, and enthusiastic; everyone likes her.

"Sure, I'll take care of it."

Qiao Lian'er had the chef purchase a variety of expensive ingredients and prepared a large, elaborate meal.

It was a gathering of teenagers, with no adults around, so everyone was relaxed and unrestrained, drinking and chatting about everything under the sun.

After they finished eating, Qiao Lian'er sent Pei Qingrong a cartload of durians and nuts.

Da Cheng took over the job of coachman and personally delivered the goods.

"Lian'er, look at Brother Dacheng, he's so enthusiastic towards Sister Rong." Qiao Zhizhi covered her mouth and smiled.

“Hmm, it’s the age when one’s heart begins to flutter with romantic feelings,” Qiao Lian’er said.

Qiao Zhizhi looked at Qiao Lian'er with some confusion. Lian'er was clearly at an age where she knew nothing about this, yet she seemed to know everything.

Yesterday saw the biggest surge in sales, but orders are still pouring in today.

Those noble families below the fourth rank who had not received an invitation from Prince Heng's mansion, or those above the fourth rank who had made excuses not to go to admire the flowers, all came one after another after learning about the deliciousness of durian and nuts.

Apart from a few families buying several hundred kilograms at a time, most people buy less than one hundred kilograms, so on average, they buy a little over one hundred kilograms.

More than forty companies came today, and we sold 60,000 taels, which is something we couldn't have done before.

Qiao Lian'er thought of Datian Village and Yuezhou. When she left, she left behind a month's worth of goods, which were now starting to run out.

She was waiting here for her uncles and brothers to arrive with the army, to settle everything, and for the sales to be booming—it was the perfect time to make big money.

Moreover, he had promised the Pei brothers that he would spend at least a month in the capital.

By the time she got back, the journey had taken half a month, and both places were already sold out.

Qiao Lian'er glanced at her space. With the amount of gold coins she had accumulated, she would soon be able to unlock a skill called "Sky Mirror," which was essentially a video function. Two people could each hold a mirror and chat face-to-face even from a great distance.

However, with the ability to transmit audio over long distances, remote communication is possible, making it less necessary to use teleportation.

After thinking it over carefully, she summoned the butler.

It's alright, she won't bother the housekeeper, and the housekeeper won't bother her either.

Several months have passed since we last spoke.

"Alright, my little master, are we going to unlock the space-time camera now? Do you need me to describe the specific operation of the space-time camera to you?"

Qiao Lian'er said, "Can I create a function myself?"
