"Officer Chen truly lives up to his reputation as the top constable of Huichun. He is incorruptible and impartial. If we didn't investigate the reasons, how many wrongful cases would he have handled, causing you unnecessary trouble, sir?"
"Many disaster victims have recently settled in Huichun. If we lose the hearts of the people over a small matter, it would be a great loss to suffer a small one."
"Young Master Xu, you've disturbed me." Chen Song glanced at Lin Zhaozhao indifferently, then waved his hand, "Take them all away."
"Yes." After a short while, the troublemakers were cleared away, and Lin Zhaozhao turned to the five handsome young men.
The young master standing to Xu Gongzi's left was a lively and impulsive boy. When he saw her looking over, he skipped over to the stall and said, "Sister, you are amazing. You were able to fight against Chen Yanwang with your bare hands."
"Have some pineapple cakes." The young master offered the pastries, but Lin Zhaozhao politely declined. The young master didn't mind and stuffed the pastries into his mouth.
"Thank you for your help today, young master."
"Consider this your reward for winning the bet for me today." With this simple sentence, Young Master Xu not only explained the reason but also smoothed out any unnecessary thoughts from others. His words were concise and to the point, demonstrating his tact and avoiding giving others cause for criticism.
"I love peaches, I want that peach tree."
"I want an apple tree."
"Brother Xu, what about you?"
“A gentleman does not take what others cherish. I want the figs.” Young Master Xu smiled slightly. The young man standing to his right glanced at the servant behind him. The servant quickly stepped forward and threw over a money bag. “There are fifteen taels in there. My young master will take all three of these potted plants and deliver them to the Xu, Li, and Zhang families’ residences.”
Touching her purse, Lin Zhaozhao smiled and agreed. She didn't mind betting more on this kind of wager.
Originally, she only planned to come today to test the waters. Five taels of silver for a fruit tree bonsai was practically robbery in Huichun City, where spring reigns all year round. After all, fruits are everywhere in Huichun, except for strawberries, which are a bit rare.
However, as long as the potted plant can be sold, Lin Zhaozhao is confident that she can develop repeat customers. The fruit potted plants she has processed can be much more expensive than those on the market.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the four kids don't care about these things; for ordinary people, they are excellent tools for strengthening the body and improving sleep.
After seeing the young man off, Lin Zhaozhao was about to go deliver the goods with Lin Yangyang when a shadow fell over her, and she realized that the wealthy merchant was still there.
"I'm sorry, I thought you had already left after what happened. Do you still want this strawberry plant?" Lin Zhaozhao smiled apologetically. The young man behind the wealthy merchant quickly stepped forward and gave Lin Zhaozhao fifteen taels of silver.
Do you offer home delivery?
"No need." The boy's tone was somewhat impatient, but he regained his composure after the wealthy merchant glanced at him.
After handing over the strawberry potted plants to the wealthy businessman, Lin Zhaozhao and Lin Yangyang carried the remaining potted plants back onto the cart and went to deliver them.
In the rouge shop on the second floor, just a hundred meters away, the windows and doors were slammed shut, followed by a mess of rouge and powder scattered all over the floor.
"Where did this vixen come from? Is she trying to hide her seductive ways from everyone? Trying to climb up to Brother Zhixing and become an emperor in one step? Dream on!" After venting her anger, Ning Wanqiu quickly calmed down. "Send someone to investigate. I want to see who that slut is."
Ning Wanqiu turned and left, followed closely by the manager of the rouge shop. The head maid supported Ning Wanqiu and gave a wink to the maid behind her.
"The damaged rouge and face powder should all be put on the books."
"Yes, indeed." Having received the promise, the shopkeeper beamed with joy, but as soon as the carriage disappeared from sight, his expression changed immediately. "The bill will be increased by 30% on top of the original amount."
"Okay."
