Chapter 120: Why don't you bring up the topic?
Seeing that An Ning's face was less arrogant and sad, and more refreshing like a young girl, Liang Weiyuan was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
After signaling the shopkeeper and others to leave, she explained with a smile.
"I need to make some ordinary clothes. My Lady, you know that now that the war in the north has just ended, the people are in urgent need of cheap and good quality clothing. This thick cotton cloth is warm and durable, and will definitely come in handy."
"Besides, if it's dyed with a novel color, it might be able to create a style that's eye-catching."
An Ning seemed to understand, but when she heard it was about business, she curled her lips and showed no interest.
Suddenly remembering something, before Liang Weiyuan could put down the cotton cloth in her hand, An Ning excitedly pulled her towards the street corner.
"I almost forgot, my mother is waiting in the carriage up ahead. If she knew I met you, she would definitely be happy!"
The eldest princess is waiting?
Then I think the relationship between mother and daughter has eased a lot.
Liang Weiyuan was supposed to go and pay her respects. When she turned the corner, she saw a gorgeously decorated vermilion lacquered carriage parked there.
The curtain of the carriage was half rolled up, revealing the eldest princess leaning against the cushion inside the carriage. Her well-maintained face looked majestic, and her nail-painted hands tapped lightly on the shaft.
"Mother, look who I have brought!"
An Ning was like a cheerful magpie, and started shouting as soon as she lifted the curtain.
The eldest princess looked up at Liang Weiyuan, her gaze lingering on her simple dress and the cotton sample in her hand for a moment, and she nodded slightly with a smile.
"It's Wei Yuan indeed. I guess you've heard the news of the war. Your business acumen is truly impressive to me."
She gestured for Liang Weiyuan to get in the car, "I heard that you've been running the silk shop business lately. You're a hundred times better than those noble ladies who only care about romance."
Liang Weiyuan bowed and thanked him, then lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.
The car was filled with ambergris, and the warm scent wrapped in the peony and agarwood on the eldest princess's body blew towards her face.
She sat upright on the cushions, lowered her eyes, and said calmly and modestly, "You are too kind, Princess. I am only concerned about my family's livelihood."
The eldest princess looked at him with interest.
It was clearly the lowest kind of business, but the woman's slender back always maintained an elegant curve, and one couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.
"Thanks to your advice last time, An Ning has truly given up on thinking about that poor scholar and we no longer have any contact with him."
"Look at her. She is much more cheerful and lively now. I have to express my sincere gratitude to Wei Yuan for this."
When An Ning heard that she was being brought up in the past, she immediately stamped her feet in displeasure, "Mother!"
Why are you bringing up something that is not related to the topic?
Her expression was pure and cute, and it was obvious that she had gotten over her heartbreak.
"If that scholar truly loves the princess, he should first establish himself firmly, rather than relying on the princess's status to seek personal gain."
"The princess has figured it out, and it's her own wisdom and decision. I just gave her some pointers, so I don't want to take any credit for it."
The eldest princess had expressed her gratitude for the gift as early as when she recommended her brother for the position in the imperial court.
Liang Weiyuan didn't dare to refuse the eldest princess's favor anymore.
The eldest princess listened quietly. The young woman in front of her not only had a business mind, but also had the ability to see through people's hearts.
This kind of insight and courage is absolutely incomparable to that of ordinary girls.
An Ning felt bored, so she took the eldest princess's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, why don't you go back to the palace first."
She also wanted to hang out with Sister Liang and see more interesting things.
The eldest princess naturally saw that her daughter disliked her, and she frowned, feeling both amused and helpless.
Forget it, this naughty girl, she feels at ease with Liang Weiyuan.
The eldest princess raised her hand and poked An Ning's forehead. Although her tone was smiling, it was still full of dignity: "Since it's rare for you to leave the palace, I will allow you to run wild for a day."
"However, in a few days some young masters from aristocratic families will come to the mansion to meet you. You must look at them carefully and not escape again."
Upon hearing this, An Ning's smile instantly fell.
She twisted the hem of her skirt in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Another round of staring at each other... Those gentlemen either have crooked mouths or squinting eyes, or they just talk nonsense..."
She had long been tired of hearing the scholar's nonsense, and now she was annoyed by it.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The eldest princess frowned, and her narrowed eyes revealed a majesty that could not be refused.
"Those young masters are of distinguished status, their families are loyal and righteous for generations, and some are both civil and military. How can you be sure that there won't be one that catches your eye?"
"If you don't want to see each other, then I will arrange it for you."
An Ning stiffened his neck, unable to argue, but when he saw Liang Weiyuan standing there with her eyes downcast and silent, his eyes lit up.
"Sister Liang, will you accompany me to look for a match? You have such a keen eye, you will definitely be able to help me choose a true lover."
Liang Weiyuan felt a slight pang in her heart, she never expected that she would be the one to be implicated.
Meeting An Ning's bright and expectant eyes, he didn't want to spoil her fun.
"If Your Highnesses, the Princess and the County Lord, do not mind, then I will naturally have no problem with it."
The princess tapped the shaft thoughtfully, "An Ning, when a man and a woman see each other, how can we allow outsiders to interfere?"
