103. Lottery Potion
Jiang Xiyue incredulously pulled the chubby little face that was leaning on her shoulder towards her, and asked in a trembling voice, "Yue'er... do you really think it looks good?"
"So pretty! Super super super pretty!" The little dumpling even excitedly offered a plan: "Pink flowers for the moon's clothes, red and green flowers for the moon's skirt, and a super big red flower on the moon's head, and big red flowers on the shoes too!"
She proudly puffed out her little chest: "The moon must be the most beautiful!"
Jiang Xiyue was stunned for a moment.
She couldn't even imagine how terrible it would be if her daughter wore the outfit she had described.
She didn't understand; she couldn't figure it out.
What went wrong? Why does my daughter have such a strange sense of aesthetics?
Although the Marquis of Beiding didn't understand pairings, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good combination.
The Marquis of Beiding and his wife both fell into deep thought.
The silk shopkeeper quickly stepped forward and tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Oh dear, Your Excellency, Madam, that's just how children's tastes are. They only look good in bright colors and bold reds and purples."
"That's right!" The little dumpling blinked her big eyes at the shopkeeper, her little face flushed, and the way she looked at the shopkeeper was as if she had seen the "soulmate" that her second brother had mentioned.
"You! You understand! This looks good!"
The silk shopkeeper hesitated for a moment: "Well, uh... actually... it's not very pretty..."
"Huh?!"
The little dumpling was stunned.
The little dumpling was surprised.
The little dumpling didn't believe it.
"It's beautiful!" the little dumpling insisted. "It's super beautiful!"
Everyone fell silent.
Seeing that everyone disagreed with her, the little dumpling puffed out her cheeks, put her hands on her hips, and said in a cute but fierce tone, "Moon, Moon is serious! It's really super pretty!"
She climbed down from her mother's arms, toddled to the counter with her short legs, stood on tiptoe, and tried her best to look fierce: "Yue'er has to dress like that! You'll look pretty in it!"
Jiang Xiyue was truly at her wit's end: "Yue'er... how about we change our request?"
The little dumpling's chubby cheeks were round and pouting, looking rather unhappy.
Just as Jiang Xiyue thought her daughter was about to act stubborn and was thinking about how to persuade her, the little dumpling suddenly exhaled the air that had been puffing out of her mouth, looking a little disappointed: "...Okay then."
The little dumpling still listens to her mother.
Jiang Xiyue was deeply moved: "Yue'er is so obedient!"
It's like a divine baby who repays kindness; it's so well-behaved and obedient, never throws a tantrum or acts childishly.
Since the little dumpling had decided to listen to her mother and not disappoint her, she began to rack her brains to think of a different request.
After thinking it over, she quickly came to the answer—it was a task that her system aunt had just given her!
The little dumpling thought, "The system auntie told me to tell others not to listen to 'her,' so I'll make that request."
But the little dumpling soon ran into another problem.
Who is "she"?
But the clever little dumpling quickly came up with another answer.
She is a bad person!
So, the little dumpling put her hands on her hips and said seriously, "Then... from now on, this shop can't sell anything to bad guys!"
The silk shopkeeper was taken aback, then suppressed a laugh and bowed, "Yes, yes, if Miss says she won't sell, then she won't sell."
"Really, you can't sell it!" The little dumpling looked at his suppressed laughter and felt that he didn't take it to heart at all.
She stamped her feet anxiously, her face turning red: "Otherwise, otherwise Yue'er will be sad!"
As she spoke, tears began to well up in her large eyes, and glistening teardrops clung to her long eyelashes, threatening to fall.
Jiang Xiyue quickly picked up her daughter: "Yue'er, be good, tell Mommy, why can't we sell things to bad guys?"
The little dumpling sobbed, clinging to her mother's shoulder: "Because...because bad guys bully people...Yue'er doesn't like it..."
The system auntie said that "she" not only bullies her, but also bullies the little princess and the Grand Tutor...
He is a very, very bad person!
Upon hearing this, Marquis Beiding suppressed his smile and instead came to his daughter's rescue: "I see! Our Yue'er was protecting everyone!"
With a wave of his hand, he said to the silk shop owner, "From today onwards, this silk shop will only serve Miss and will no longer be open to the public."
The silk shop owner and his employees were all stunned.
The men looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, one of the workers stepped forward and stammered, "My lord, what about our wages...?"
As working people, they don't really care whether the boss's store makes money or who the store serves.
They care more about their salary and benefits.
"We'll pay as usual!" Marquis Beiding said readily. "Not only that, but we'll also give you a 30% bonus at the end of the year!"
The men were taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.
This is equivalent to having less than one percent of the original workload, but still receiving a pay raise.
It's no different from getting money while lying down.
This is like a windfall!
You can get paid without doing any work? I can't believe there's such a great job in the world!
"Miss is truly a living Bodhisattva reincarnated!" the silk shopkeeper exclaimed excitedly. "I've lived most of my life and have never met such a kind person!"
At this moment, a group of adults and elderly people looked at the little dumpling as if she were a Bodhisattva.
The bodhisattvas in the temple may not respond to their prayers, but the bodhisattva in front of them has truly brought them immense blessings!
"Indeed!" said an older waiter, wiping away tears. "The young lady is so young yet already knows how to benefit everyone; she truly is a great philanthropist!"
"With such a kind heart, Miss, God will surely bless her with a long and healthy life!"
"Not only is the young lady as beautiful as a fairy, but she is also so kind-hearted. She is truly a celestial being reincarnated!"
"If you ask me, Miss is our lucky star! We've heard of Miss's reputation as a lucky star before, and now, her good fortune is shining on all of us!"
"With such a sensible young lady, she's bound to be an extraordinary person in the future!"
The little dumpling blushed and hid in her mother's arms, feeling embarrassed by the praise.
She whispered, "Then...then you have to keep your word!"
"Absolutely!" everyone chorused. "We swear we'll obey Miss for the rest of our lives!"

After leaving the silk shop, Jiang Xiyue and Bei Dinghou took the little dumpling to the jewelry shop they had chosen.
As soon as they entered, the little dumpling couldn't wait to announce to the shopkeeper, "You can't sell pretty flowers to bad guys here either!"
The jewelry shop owner looked bewildered: "Huh? What does this mean..."
Marquis Beiding laughed heartily: "Shopkeeper, from today onwards, this jewelry shop will only serve Miss."
The jewelry shop owner was dumbfounded: "My lord, this...this..."
The other guys also cast puzzled glances at them.
They still didn't understand, and had the same doubts as the people in the silk shop back then.
"The wages will remain the same, with a 30% increase at the end of the year," Marquis Beiding said decisively.
The jewelry shop owner and his assistants were no longer puzzled.
Their expressions changed completely, and they immediately beamed with joy: "Alright! Miss is truly the kindest fairy in the world! We'll save the best jewelry for you right away!"
"Since Miss is so considerate of us, we will definitely protect the shop well!"
"Don't worry, Miss. From now on, if anyone dares to come and buy jewelry, I'll be the first to kick them out!"
The little dumpling blushed from the praise, but still insisted, "No...you're welcome..."
The jewelry shop owner patted his chest and assured them, "Miss has been so good to us, we'll risk our lives to protect the shop!"
[Task Completed]
You warned each of the shops individually.
Under your harsh and threatening words, the shopkeeper and his employees agreed out of fear.
Seeing their fearful yet forced expressions, you left satisfied.
