After Yunxu woke up, Yuntian stayed with her in the mansion for a few days. Seeing that she was well taken care of and lived happily in the general's mansion, and that the servants did not disobey him, Yuntian went to Hope Academy to study with peace of mind.
Although the brother and sister turned a disaster into a blessing and got married to the Tian family this time, there is no free lunch in the world. If they want others to look up to them, they have to become strong. Moreover, he carries the blood feud of his parents on his shoulders, so he must study hard and grow up as soon as possible.
After seeing Yuntian off, Yunxu felt more and more lonely as she was alone in the general's mansion where she was unfamiliar with the place. Fortunately, Yaoyao and Yuhong were always paying attention to her and caring about her, so she quickly became familiar with everyone.
Seeing that her sisters were busy studying medicine every day, she bravely asked Tian An to let her join Yuhong and the others.
Seeing that she was so motivated, Tian An agreed without thinking too much.
But her foundation was very poor, so she could only start with learning to read and write. Moreover, it was already September, and Tian An's wedding was less than a month away. Tian An was very busy every day, so the task of teaching her fell on Yaoyao and the others.
However, they not only did not feel it was a burden, but were extremely excited. They all rushed to teach Yunxu, and no one was willing to give in. They even made a schedule, with each person taking turns teaching once a day.
These days, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi came to find Yaoyao and others as soon as they came back from school, muttering to themselves and no one knew what they were talking about.
Tian An encountered this twice, but as soon as she approached them, they shut up and said nothing. It was obvious that they were hiding something from her. If she asked, they would just laugh it off and change the subject.
Tian An was afraid that they would still set up stalls without telling her like last time, so she sternly warned Xiaokang and Xiaoqi.
After repeated assurances from the two, he finally felt relieved. However, no matter how Tian An asked, they refused to say anything about what they had said.
Tian An had no choice but to ask Chun Xi to keep an eye on things and notify her immediately if the little ghosts showed any suspicious signs.
Seeing Tian An walking away, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After asking Pingxing and Pingsheng to run further away to keep watch, they lowered their heads and started discussing with Yaoyao and the others again.
What they were discussing was nothing special, they were just discussing how to prepare a wedding gift for Tian An. Xiao Kang and Xiao Qi were discussing jewelry, while Yu Hong and the others were planning to work together to embroider a folding screen.
The next day after confirming that Yunxu was not in danger of life, Yuntian took Xiaokang, Xiaoqi, accompanied by Deng Yuan and Chen Feng, back to Wuliu Lane to retrieve all the money they had earned from setting up the stall.
Ten small stalls had earned over two hundred taels in such a short time! After giving Shitou and Yuntian the share they had been promised, there was still over a hundred taels left.
Originally, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi planned to use all the money to make jewelry for Tian An, but they were afraid that their taste was not good enough and the things they bought would not be worthy of Tian An. Finally, after getting together to discuss, they unanimously decided to learn from Yaoyao.
Yaoyao is the current emperor's most beloved princess. She's seen all sorts of good things! You can't go wrong with her.
Unfortunately, they only guessed the first half and ignored the second half.
Yaoyao's vision is indeed impeccable, but because her standards are too high, she simply doesn't look down on ordinary things.
When Xiaokang and Xiaoqi told her about this, she said without hesitation, "Those vulgar things made by the silver shops out there are no match for my wise, brave, beautiful, intelligent and wise master and sister!"
He extended his hands to the two of them without hesitation, "Give me the silver, and I'll have the craftsmen in the palace work overnight to make the most beautiful hairpins and rings for you two before your wedding. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
When the two heard this, they also thought that Yaoyao's idea was good. They didn't bother to be polite with her. Without saying a word, they stuffed all the silver into her hands without keeping a single cent.
Yaoyao didn't even look at it. She handed the silver to Hongtong and asked Hongtong to go to the palace immediately to take care of this matter. She would see the drawings the next day at the latest.
There are rules for everything in the palace. Even though Hongtong is Yaoyao's personal bodyguard, she does not have that much power to make the palace people obey her, so this matter still has to go through the Queen Mother.
Inside Kunning Palace, the Queen looked at the more than one hundred taels of silver, shook her head and said helplessly: "Yaoyao, this girl, has been away for so long, but she is still so confused about the sense of proportion when it comes to money.
This hundred taels of silver could certainly be used to make some nice jewelry outside, but it wouldn't be enough to buy something nice in the palace. It wouldn't even be enough to buy the gemstones."
Without saying anything else, she handed the silver to Qingyi and asked her to take a box of beautiful colorful gems from her jewelry box and send them to the Si Zaofang.
After receiving the order from the Empress Dowager, the Si Zaofang naturally worked hard and drew many beautiful jewelry drawings and submitted them overnight.
As soon as Yaoyao got the blueprints, she notified Xiaokang and Xiaoqi to come over.
Xiaokang looked at the drawings and sighed, "As expected of a palace craftsman, his craftsmanship is excellent."
Xiao Qi nodded: "The ones we saw in the silver shop are nothing compared to them."
Xiaokang stared at the drawings intently and nodded, "Those silver shops out there are such rip-offs. I didn't expect the prices to be the same but the products would be so different."
Hongtong on the side couldn't help but twitch her lips. How could these two gentlemen know that if it weren't for the princess, they wouldn't even be able to see the palace craftsmen with their more than one hundred taels.
If it weren't for the box of jewels from the Queen, their one hundred taels wouldn't even be enough to buy two smooth red gold hairpins, let alone so many gorgeous styles for them to choose from.
But what surprised her even more was that after the two masters admired those beautiful jewelry drawings, they didn't even choose one. They just collected the drawings and handed them all to Yaoyao. "The craftsmen in the palace are really well-deserved. Let's do it according to this!"
Hongtong was dumbfounded. Did they think that with just over a hundred taels of silver, they could make ten such gorgeous hairpins, hairpins, step-shake ornaments, bracelets, and necklaces?
Before Hongtong could figure out how to tell the two young masters about this, Yaoyao took the blueprint and stuffed it into her hands, still worried, and said, "Tell them to hurry up and get everything done before the wedding."
Hongtong: "..."
Hongtong was still confused when she returned to the palace with the blueprints. She didn't know how to explain this to the Empress, so she could only hand the blueprints to Qingyi. "The princess said the blueprints are very good, so we'll follow them. But we have to finish it before Princess Anping's wedding."
Fortunately, Qingyi took the drawings and said nothing, nor did he report to the Queen. He took them to the workshop.
Hongtong breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the palace without even drinking a sip of water.
What happens next is none of her business.
