Chapter 158: Forming an Alliance Before the Game 1
"Miss Bai, who believes what you say? The feathers on the duck's body have not yet punctured the satin. It was still Miss Mei Lan from the Nanling Continent who said. also walked over and touched the cotton cloak that Bai Wan'er was wearing. He said again with an unconfident face.
"Miss Bai Er, is this really filled with duck feathers?"
"Miss Merlan, my sister never tells lies. But she's talking about duck down, not duck feathers. Bai Wan'er had little confidence in her heart.
"Princess Xiangxiang, Miss Merlan. It's not easy to sew a cotton cloak, and there's no way for Miss Ben to take it apart and show it to you. There was also a cushion in Miss Ben's room, which was also of eiderdown. It's easy to sew up, but it can show you what's inside. It's just that after Miss Ben is clumsy and takes it apart, she has to trouble which of you to sew it up. ”
"Miss Bai, if it's really filled with duck feathers. Miss Ben sewed it for you. "It was also Miss Yinju from the Nanling Continent who spoke.
"That young lady was flattered, and heard that Miss Yinju had excellent embroidery skills. You can also write while embroidering. Poplar said it like a homely thing, but he heard Meng Dan and Mao Huahua slightly moved. Lin Wei and Ling Ling looked as usual. Poplar glanced over from the corner of his eye, thinking secretly in his heart.
"Miss Bai, you snoop on our secrets." Mao Huahua over there couldn't help but say.
"What's the secret? Miss Yinju's embroidery girl red is very famous in the Nanling continent. It's normal to be famous overseas. The more people who have the ability to be known, the more famous they are, Miss Yinju, do you say yes? ”
"Miss Bai, ignore their barbaric people. I'm going to take it apart when I got the cushion. ”
"Let's tear it down, carry a little wind on your back, that thing is very gentle, don't be blown away by the wind." Poplar pretended to be mysterious. As a result, Ling Wei and Ling Ling were also brought over.
The cushion is not very densely sewn, which was sewn by her grandmother after she entered the police academy. The duck down inside was also selected by Poplar with his grandmother. The outer cover of the cushion is a brocade cut out of grandma's old cheongsam. Unexpectedly, these things were brought along with the crossing of the poplar's soul. It doesn't feel abrupt at all when I take it out now.
The round cushion was opened and the snow-white eiderdown was revealed.
"Oh, it's the duckling's fluff, not the old duck's hard feathers. Miss Bai, is this also your family handiwork? It's like the dim sum you make. Princess Xiangxiang was startled, pinching the snow-white soft duck down and asked.
"Princess Xiangxiang also knows a lot about Miss Ben, does this count as a secret to spy on me?" Poplar joked.
"What's the secret? When we came to the capital of Dayan Kingdom, we heard the most about Miss Bai's deeds. I have also been to your dim sum shop, tasted the dim sum made by your family handicraft, and listened to very interesting stories in your shop. I just don't know that everyone in the White King's Mansion will have such craftsmanship? ”
"Princess Xiangxiang, how old is Miss Ben who left the White Palace. How many times I have experienced life and death, I learned it at that time, and it has nothing to do with the White Palace. Poplar's face was sad and vague about his past. Such an expression couldn't help but make Princess Xiangxiang feel pity. When I came to the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, the most I heard was the story of the begging woman. At first, he was disdainful and contemptuous of Poplar, and then he couldn't help but admire it after listening to it more, and he was unconvinced when he thought of becoming an opponent with such a person. originally thought that this young lady who was born as a beggar should be the kind of rude and uneducated girl. But I didn't expect this begging girl to be outstanding, and she was also amiable to others. At the same time, I felt sorry for it.
"Miss Bai, there are many rivers and rivers on the Nanling Continent, and there are many small aquatic animals like ducks. If their feathers could be used to sew clothes to protect us from the cold, we wouldn't have to buy cotton from other small countries. Can Miss Bai sell this craft to this princess? Princess Xiangxiang said eagerly, she didn't want to compete for any place in the finals. Although the Great Yan Kingdom is good anywhere, after all, it is thousands of miles away from its own country. Princesses are also girls. I left my hometown and married here, and I can only see someone from my hometown once in five years. is not living well, just like Princess Cai'er of Xiling Nanchuan Kingdom, but she died in a foreign country after more than a year. You can't even bury your bones in your own homeland.
I don't have much ability, I can't write and paint as food, and I can't wear clothes. If you learn this craft in your hands, then you will be the hero of the Nanling Continent. The silver has a status and dignity, and it can also help his brother. Princess Xiangxiang thought far at once, and her beautiful slender eyes looked at Aspen pleadingly.
"Princess Xiangxiang, Miss Ben is most willing to do the things that make money. Originally, I also wanted to promote this set of technology in Dayan Kingdom, but we only produce grain here. There are very few small creatures that swim in the water and run on the ground. That is, sew yourself a few clothes in your spare time. Princess Xiangxiang has this intention, so Miss Ben should think about it. The four continents are far apart, and it takes five years to communicate with each other. If this process is promoted in places where conditions permit, it is really a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”
"Miss Bai, what you said is so good. Princess Xiangxiang, you are too boring, why do you want to get rich yourself? We went to the finals together. It's better for us to work together once to earn silver. Miss Yinju said unwillingly.
"It's all shared, is this princess a person who can get out of the palace casually? I don't have to ask you to run errands for me outside. But in that case, you two won't be able to drill into the top ten. Otherwise we won't be able to go back. Princess Xiangxiang glanced at Ling Wei and Ling Ling, who had returned to their seats, and said in a low voice.
"Princess Xiangxiang, we just want to have that ability. Miss Bai, those two people over there are not easy to deal with, if you go against them, you have to be careful. Mei Lan glanced at Meng Dan and Mao Huahua's table and reminded Poplar.
"Thank you, it's up to you to go into battle." Poplar said lightly.
"Miss Bai, the final may take several days. We'll have a good time to discuss. ”
"Princess Xiangxiang, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until the end of the finals. Don't worry, except for your Nanling Continent, there are no other places that have that unique geographical conditions. No one will fight you. ”
The three young ladies on the Nanling Continent and Baiyang Bai Wan'er became friends because of duck down, and they sat together and chatted happily. On the streets below, the carriages of the small vassal kingdoms are constantly displaying their local products.
The fur on the Beiling Continent, the silk brocade on the Xiling Continent, and the calligraphy and painting on the Nanling Continent. These are the three major categories of things that are ready to exchange grain with the Great Yan Kingdom. Then there is the gift of tribute from the small vassal state to the wild goose country. From jade to finely crafted gold and silver ornaments, there are also high-end satins and all kinds of fur garments that have been processed. For most of the day, the following are all items on display. There were also courtiers from the Great Yan Kingdom and envoys from small vassal countries who discussed exchange matters together. There are also large merchants in the capital who hand over prayer posts, preparing to discuss business transactions with the small vassal states later. During this period, the ladies who lived in the palace came and went, and they all sat on the high platform for a while. Some went back bored, and some went back frozen.
"It's really delicate, just such a young lady, we can't afford it in the Beiling Continent. It's almost the same to marry her back and offer her to the stove. Mao Huahua laughed at the young lady of the Great Yan Kingdom over there again.
"Savage land, who thinks wants to go? I don't even go to a queen. I don't know which lady muttered. Others can't hear the poplar, but they can hear it clearly.
"Then you're going to drop out of the top 10. Because I heard that the top ten are all the objects of harmony. Another young lady whispered.
"Why drop out of the top 10, the rewards are huge. It is also the most expensive to get from the royal family. The glory brought to the family is also the greatest. ”
"It's said that it's a relative, but the small vassal country is not willing to marry us back. I haven't heard of a young lady who really married overseas. ”
"Well, what do you get from us? It's really better to exchange goods once every five years. When we get married, we will not adapt to the soil and die early. Those small vassal states could not afford to pay compensation. A few young ladies became louder as they spoke, and the grandmother in charge of the supervision warned sharply.
"What are you talking about there? Hurry back to lunch, and the finals will start in the afternoon.
