After taking out the pearls, Bai Nuo took another bowl, picked out the purple ones, and put the remaining pearls of other colors into the same bowl.
She remembered that Miss Li Jinyu had been searching all over the world for this kind of purple pearl, right?
What would Bai Dalin do if she gave all those purple pearls to Li Jinyu?
She was now eager to know what would happen to Bai Dalin.
The consequences would surely make her very happy. Bai Nuo had a strong premonition about this, and her premonitions were always so accurate.
There weren't many purple pearls, but it was enough for her to make another bracelet. After sorting the pearls, Bai Nuo helped A Yu make breakfast. Breakfast was simple: she cooked some white porridge, made two pancakes, and ate the leftover ribs and water spinach from last night. That was enough for breakfast.
After breakfast, Bai Nuo continued to work on her pearl bracelet with A Yu. Bai Nuo drilled holes in the purple pearls, while A Yu drilled holes in the white pearls.
Normally, making a bracelet only requires a few beads, and the rest of the space is separated, but this time Bai Nuo didn't want to do it that way.
Li Jinyu searched the world for purple beads, perhaps because she really likes purple, which is why she went to so much trouble. Of course, it's also possible that she wanted to compete with Zhang Jingwen. She wanted what Zhang Jingwen had, and even better ones. But whatever the reason, a pearl bracelet is only suitable for being better, not for being the same quality or inferior to Zhang Jingwen's.
Therefore, when Bai Nuo made this bracelet, she strung white and purple beads together on the red cord. The purple and white mixed together are more beautiful and dazzling than a single solid color.
This way, you won't use up too many purple or white beads. Bai Nuo can also use these two colors to create more combinations. After all, she also has pink and red beads. Wouldn't these combinations look better than solid colors?
However, Bai Nuo won't release the purple bracelet so soon. She just presented the purple beads to Li Jinyu like a treasure, and the next second they're everywhere. That wouldn't be a treasure presentation; that would be a slap in the face.
That's going to offend people!
"I'm going out now. You stay home and keep an eye on things. If there's nothing else, you can fix that red string."
Bai Nuo collected the remaining beads and then threw a pile of red ropes to Bai Yu, asking him to organize them.
Bai Nuo didn't know where the magistrate's office was; she went there with Jiang Qiao'er.
"What are you doing? I still need to watch the shop!" Jiang Qiao'er was a little annoyed after being pulled out. Where exactly did this woman want to take her? She was very busy, okay?
"Would you come with me to Miss Li's house? The shop is so busy, but your sister is here. If she watches the shop, she'll have something to do, right? It'll save her from constantly going to see that Yu Ziqing and making you unhappy!"
Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Qiao'er was unwilling to help Bai Nuo. She was a kind-hearted girl, and Bai Nuo's business was able to proceed smoothly thanks to Jiang Qiao'er's help. When it came to suggesting that Jiang San Niang have something to do instead of going around, Jiang Qiao'er was already very tempted, but she still said, "Treat me to lunch!"
"Okay!" Bai Nuo waved her hand dismissively, not caring about the money. Since someone had helped her, wasn't it only right that she treat them to lunch?
“Quanjulou!” Jiang Qiao’er added quietly.
"Sure, that's fine!" As long as the deal goes through, we can eat at Quanjulou every day, let alone just one meal there.
"Then let's go!" Jiang Qiao'er was very satisfied with Bai Nuo's sensibility and generosity. She waved her hand and strode ahead of Bai Nuo, calling out, "Come with me." She then walked in front of Bai Nuo.
After walking for about 15 minutes, Jiang Qiao'er stopped and pointed to the building in front of her, "This is it!"
Before them stood a magnificent building with its gates wide open. On the steps was a large gong and drum, and in front of the gong and drum stood two soldiers guarding the gate, each holding a long spear that emitted a chilling aura and gleamed with silver light. They were both dressed in the same red uniforms, with the character "官" (official) printed on their chests, and wearing straw hats of the same color.
Above the gate, directly below the roof, in the center, is a plaque with the words "County Magistrate's Residence" written in large red ink.
“I asked you to take me to the magistrate’s office, not to the yamen. I’m here to see Miss Li, not to report to the authorities.”
Looking at the building in front of him, Bai Nuo was speechless.
She's looking for the magistrate's residence, not his office. There's a big difference between the two, you know?
“This is it!” Jiang Qiao’er said confidently. “This is the government office. The front is where the court is held, and the back is where the magistrate lives. Don’t be fooled by how small this place looks. Can you see how many roofs there are? The back is much bigger. There’s more than just this one door. There are more on the side, but if we want to go in, we have to ask these two to knock on the door for us.”
"Okay!" Bai Nuo nodded. "Then you go back first, I can go by myself."
"No way!" Jiang Qiao'er exclaimed. "I brought you here and now you don't need me anymore? You're not just using me and then burning me down, are you? Sister, you'll be struck by lightning!"
Bai Nuo rolled her eyes speechlessly. "No, you won't be shortchanged. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back. I'm here to give the beaded bracelet to Miss Li. You know her better than I do. I'm afraid she might take her anger out on us if she's unhappy. If we both go in together, we'll both get into trouble. Hurry back. I'll come back to find you in a bit!"
