Upon hearing this, Madam Yu quickly came over and took out a piece of silver. "I'm so sorry, I borrowed your esteemed space without saying hello. Is this considered rent?"
Upon hearing this, the troupe leader quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
He looked at Jiang Youchen with eager eyes, "I just wanted to ask you, young master, if you would be willing to sell this script to my opera troupe? I am willing to pay for it, please name your price."
Jiang Youchen subconsciously looked at his younger sister.
Xiao Youran smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, you can decide."
For a moment, the troupe leader felt that the one who was actually in charge was this little girl who was only four or five years old.
Jiang Youchen's heart skipped a beat. "Master, we still need to discuss this matter. Tomorrow, right here, I'll give you a definite answer, okay?"
The troupe leader was overjoyed when he saw that things were going well, and left after arranging a meeting time for the next day.
...
At this moment, at the Yun family's cloth shop, Madam Su was tending to the empty shop, chatting with her aunt about childhood anecdotes.
Suddenly, countless ladies and young women poured in.
Today, Xiao Liu wasn't on duty at the shop, and no one was stopping them from entering, so they all rushed in, clamoring to have matching outfits made for their babies.
Su was stunned...
She had no idea that her daughter had led a group of adorable little girls to blow up the entire street!
Madam Yun was also astonished. From their clamor of "exactly the same" and "same style," she vaguely guessed that the little milk group led by Xiao Youran had achieved good results in their publicity.
Madam Su quickly pressed down with both hands and said loudly, "Ladies and young ladies, please wait. We will register today. Please line up and come one by one, leaving your residence address and requirements! Tomorrow we will arrange for someone to come and take the measurements of your young masters and young ladies."
The situation was stabilized in just a few words.
Madam Yun looked at her niece, whom she had raised with great satisfaction.
After Su finished her busy work, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and saw off the last guest, Yu returned triumphantly with a group of little babies.
When they returned, Xiao Youran and the others didn't do anything, so the people who had been watching them didn't get a chance to give them a reward, which was a bit of a pity.
However, when they arrived at their destination, they looked up and found themselves at the Yun Family Cloth Shop.
What else is there to say? Just come and place your order!
So, Ms. Su received another wave of customers registering and placing deposits, and her hands were full of deposits.
The Yu family also quickly lent a hand.
After they finished their work, Madam Su finally had a moment to ask, "The lantern parade hasn't started yet, has it? Why are you back already?"
Yu chuckled and recounted their earlier outburst, then lowered his voice, adding, "They're all eager to divide the silver!"
Madam Yun listened in stunned silence.
This little You Ran isn't a spendthrift, she's a little money god!
The three of them got up, and Su closed the door first before rushing upstairs together.
Madam Yun also walked very quickly.
The three of them went up to the second floor and saw a group of little babies sitting in a row on a large table where clothes were made.
In front of each person were some silver and copper coins.
Seeing the three members of the Yu family come up, Da Shan scratched his head sheepishly. "I... I took the liberty of dividing it among them first. It's just that these few silver notes are a bit difficult to divide. I thought since you five are all family, I would leave the two hundred taels of silver notes with Xiao Youran. Or do you have any silver in your cloth shop that can be exchanged for smaller denominations?"
Old Madam Yun and Madam Su: ...
No wonder they didn't even want to look at the lanterns and rushed back here; it was all for the sake of dividing the spoils.
Pshaw, for dividends?
...
While the children were happily dividing the money, Wen Yuanbai had already gone up to the Fulai Inn behind the stage.
He didn't see his old friend on the second floor, but he did see his old friend's aunt coming down to give him a tip. That's why, after Yu and Uncle Dashan took the little dumplings back, he went into the Fulai Inn.
Nan Zhuo knocked on the door of the private room for his master. The maid who opened the door was stunned. "Nan... Guard Nan?"
Nan Zhuo nodded, "Aunt Jinxiu."
A girl of about seven or eight years old rushed over, crying, "Big cousin! Big cousin, I've seen you again! Mother, it's big cousin!"
Wen Yuanbai felt a pain in his left leg and frowned involuntarily.
The young woman sitting inside got up and walked over. Her initial surprised smile turned into astonishment. She asked, "Yuan Bai, why are you sitting on this... chair?"
Nan Zhuo steadied the wheelchair. "Madam, Miss, please make way. Let me carry my mistress inside."
The young woman quickly pulled her daughter into her arms and opened the door.
After Wen Yuanbai went inside, Aunt Jinxiu withdrew and closed the door behind her before going downstairs to instruct the shopkeeper to serve tea again.
As I was walking down the stairs, I brushed past another girl.
The young girl was none other than Shi Wenxia. Upon seeing Aunt Jinxiu coming downstairs, she became even more certain that the woman she had just seen at the window was indeed the Princess.
So the boy in the wheelchair that I could only see from behind just now, was that person?
But... so what if that bitch Jiang Youran managed to get involved with him? She's just a short-lived ghost anyway, she'll never amount to anything.
On the contrary, the eldest princess... if that little wretch and the eldest princess had a relationship from the beginning... that wouldn't be good!
However… she vaguely remembered something important that happened on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a certain year. But she wasn’t quite sure if it happened this year.
The waiter followed her from behind and led her to the room next to the princess's private room.
Nan Zhuo stood guard outside, only glancing at her casually, without paying her any attention.
Inside the princess's room, Wen Yuanbai bowed to the princess, saying, "Aunt, please forgive me for not being able to get up."
The princess quickly supported him, tears welling in her eyes. "Tell me, how did you end up like this?"
Wen Yuanbai smiled and said, "Aunt, don't worry. I accidentally broke my leg before the New Year. By chance, Doctor Gu discovered that the original reattachment site of my leg was contaminated with cold toxins, which is why I had difficulty walking before. He has found a way to completely cure me. Once my leg is reattached, I will be no different from a normal person."
The eldest princess was overjoyed, "I never expected that this misfortune would turn into a blessing in disguise!"
Wen Yuanbai nodded, "I wonder why Aunt has come here?"
The eldest princess stood up and pulled her clothes back slightly.
Wen Yuanbai's pupils contracted. Was his aunt pregnant?
The girl leaned closer to her mother, her voice choked with emotion, "Second cousin, after Father passed away, Mother was heartbroken. She only found out she was pregnant two months ago. Mother said this is Father's posthumous child, and we must protect it."
