Man Niang was taken aback by these words, and her face showed some panic. "Master, what's wrong?"
Gu An'an thought for a moment, "It's nothing, just some people coming to cause trouble."
The voice sounds similar.
That is indeed the case.
Before Gu An'an could leave, Chen Bei had already put down his pen. "Sister Gu, she's someone I know. I'll go ask her to leave."
Gu An'an thought she had inadvertently offended someone, but she never expected that it would involve Chen Bei.
She remembered a name connected to Chen Bei, "Is it Princess Linglong?"
Chen Bei looked slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Sister Gu, I..."
Gu An'an tugged at the young man who was about to leave, "Can I go and say a few words to the princess?"
This left Chen Bei unable to stop her, "She's not actually a bad person, it's just..."
He always considered himself her person.
In reality, apart from a brief mention by the Longqing Emperor, there was no explicit marriage agreement between them.
But Linglong seemed never to realize this, and always thought of him as her fiancé.
This left Chen Bei feeling quite helpless, especially since the other party was a year younger than him, so he couldn't say anything.
If I had known it would escalate to the point of involving Sister Gu, I would have explained everything to Linglong no matter what.
But it was too late.
Watching Gu An'an leave, Chen Bei subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Man Niang. "Young Master Chen, the master said he wants you to help transcribe these rules. We need them urgently. Would you mind doing us the trouble?"
Chen Bei was caught in a dilemma. With Man Niang pulling him along, he had no choice but to stay and help copy the competition rules.
He was multitasking, listening to the sounds outside.
As Gu An'an stepped out, she saw a young girl dressed in pink standing there. Before she could even speak, her face was already beaming with smiles. "I didn't know that the Princess would grace my humble shop with her presence. It's truly an honor. Please come in, Princess."
Princess Linglong was also bewildered when she saw the smiling person. Wasn't she supposed to be a vixen?
This vixen doesn't look seductive at all; in fact, she seems rather approachable.
No, before the fox spirits revealed their true colors, didn't they all hide their fangs?
"You're Gu An'an?"
Kids these days are so hard to fool, Gu An'an thought to herself with deep emotion, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
"I didn't expect that I would become so famous so soon after arriving in the capital, before the tournament even started. But I know that the princess knows my name; it must have been A-Bei who told you, right?"
Abei.
Calling her so intimately, she really is a vixen!
Just as Princess Linglong was about to speak, Gu An'an interrupted again, "Abei just told me that the princess is as lovely and charming as her name suggests, and she will definitely like my little dolls."
"Did he really say that?" He said she was petite and lovely?
Gu An'an's ability to make up stories was growing stronger every day. "Of course! My dolls are so cute, of course the princess would like them. I have so many here. Why don't you come in and take a look, princess, and see if there's one that catches your eye?"
Princess Linglong coughed lightly, "Really?"
"It's just a rag doll. I can manage the household for the princess." Gu An'an kept changing the subject, but the clever princess didn't realize it at all.
The person who was just now questioning Gu An'an has now moved along and followed her inside.
The shop here has been newly decorated, and the shelves are filled with dolls of all sizes.
As soon as Princess Linglong entered the room, she saw the little yellow chick with a crooked mouth that seemed to be mocking her. She stomped her foot in anger, "How can you be so blind to make such an ugly rag doll?"
"The princess only sees that this little yellow chick is ugly, but she doesn't know why it looks different from the other little yellow chicks. Alas."
The sigh startled Princess Linglong. "Ugly is ugly, is there some other reason?"
"That's right. It was born a cute little chick, but it was unlucky and suffered misfortune one after another, which is why it looks so strange."
As Manniang listened to the person telling the story, if she didn't know that the little yellow chick was originally a toy made by the master for his young mistress, but was poorly made and a failure, she would have believed it to be true.
However, this story works quite well to fool little girls. Look at those who come to question the chick, their eyes filled with tears, lamenting the injustice fate has dealt to the little yellow chick.
The boss really knows how to make the dead sound alive.
That's a skill in itself.
Chen Bei, who was copying down the competition rules, did not expect that Linglong would not look for her immediately after arriving, and would even cry after hearing what Sister Gu said.
The young man looked at the person with red, tear-filled eyes. He wanted to comfort her but was afraid that Linglong would misunderstand, so he didn't do anything.
"And then what happened? Did the chick freeze to death?"
Gu An'an left the story of the Ugly Duckling and the Little Match Girl hybrid with a little yellow chick unfinished. "I tried my best to save it, but there was nothing I could do. However, to commemorate this little yellow chick, I made this rag doll. Do you think it's cute?"
"cute!"
They are so pitiful and endearing.
Princess Linglong took the little yellow chick that Gu An'an handed her into her arms, saying, "I will take good care of it from now on and I will never let it be exposed to the sun or rain."
"What a kind and good girl."
Just an hour ago, the good girl thought Chen Shu and her group were crazy, but now she has joined the ranks of the crazy ones.
Who can resist the adorably ugly little yellow chick?
When Princess Linglong left, she took two little yellow chicks, one big and one small, and left Gu An'an a large ingot of silver.
He completely forgot that he had come to confront Chen Bei, and he completely forgot about him as well.
