The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 7: Raising the price from the ground up
Liu Moyan thought she was hiding well, but she didn't know that Xu Yao saw through her thoughts. Xu Yao waited for Liu Moyan's next move with a mentality of watching the show.
The medicine prescribed by the doctor smelled very bad, but in order to pretend, Xu Yao still went to the kitchen to boil the medicine and brought it to Liu Moyan for tasting.
Liu Moyan looked at the black medicine, pinched her nose and told her to take it away quickly, dispose of it casually, and not let it appear in front of her.
Xu Yao obediently walked out the door, made sure there was no one else around, and then poured the medicine under the locust tree.
The black ink quickly penetrated into the soil, forcing the weeds under the tree to be eaten clean.
There was suddenly a shadow above his head. Xu Yao slowly raised his head and saw a huge kite that had floated over the yard at some point.
Xu Yao had good eyesight. Not only did he see that the colorful butterfly was exquisitely crafted, but he also noticed that there seemed to be something tied to the kite.
Xu Yao thought of something and turned back anxiously, and saw Liu Moyan also staring at the kite.
She was already standing under the eaves when the kite just appeared. This was her favorite kite shape, and she knew who made it the moment it appeared.
When seeing the kite, Liu Moyan's heart was filled with warmth because of her childhood sweetheart.
She remembered the pain of her previous life, and naturally also remembered how her childhood sweetheart protected her after the accident.
Just a kite made Liu Moyan's determination to stay away from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion waver again.
After a while, the kite's string suddenly broke and it fell directly into the yard.
Xu Yao ran over to pick it up, and sure enough, there was a letter tied to it.
She handed the kite to Liu Moyan and quietly stepped back.
Liu Moyan opened the letter in the house and saw the deep affection between the lines of Pei Shuo's words. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Xu Yao would not comfort her. She would rather think about what delicious food she could eat tonight.
Having lived in the apocalypse for a long time, what she saw the most was the ugliness of human nature, and she saw fewer beautiful things.
If Liu Moyan gave up Pei Shuo for her sake and took another path, she would think it was reasonable.
But if she were to do anything for love, regardless of life or death, she would only think that Liu Moyan was stupid and ignorant.
In the last days, parents abandon their children and children murder their parents. The selfishness and viciousness in human nature are infinitely magnified.
Liu Moyan naturally would not tell Xu Yao what was written in the letter.
Liu Moyan closed the door and refused to see anyone. Xu Yao was happy to be alone and took a nap on the stone steps at the door.
There were originally four people serving Liu Moyan, two first-class maids, a woman in charge, and a maid in charge of cleaning.
Ever since Liu Moyan fell into the water, the maids were driven away and the woman in charge was replaced. Only the maid who was in charge of sweeping the yard was left, but she was no longer allowed to serve. She usually left the yard after cleaning.
So, when there is nothing to do, Xu Yao and Liu Moyan are the only ones in the yard.
Xu Yao waited for a long time before Liu Moyan opened the door and came out, asking her a question as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Tell me, if you knew in advance that something was going to be bad, could you find a way to prevent it from happening?"
Xu Yao asked back without hesitation: "Since it is a bad thing, we must stop it."
Liu Moyan thought for a moment and asked again: "Aren't you afraid of failure?"
Xu Yao: "Give it a try, there is still a chance of success. If you don't try, you will always fail."
Her words were concise and to the point, touching Liu Moyan's heart, making her feel an inexplicable sense of faith. "You're right. We have to try to know if it works. It's not completely hopeless."
As he said that, he gave Xu Yao a silver note of five hundred taels and said, "Take this silver and go to the Bai Family Silver Shop on Dongshun Road and buy a pearl crown. Remember, you have to get the one that Master Jin of their family has just made. You have to get it."
Xu Yao really wanted to ask her, what would happen if she couldn’t get it?
Obviously, the second lady didn't want to hear this answer.
Xu Yao thought, she was reborn, so she must have some golden fingers, right? Since she wanted it, then maybe God favored her and gave her luck to make it happen.
Xu Yao took the money and went out. He calculated the time and realized that he might have to eat out again.
If you eat out, you have to pay for it yourself, and the kitchen doesn't leave any food for you. It's not known whether Madam Liu intentionally or unintentionally paid attention to whether her maid was hungry or not.
There wasn't even a word of compensation.
Xu Yao thought about it and felt that it didn’t matter. How could employees expect their boss to have a conscience?
She put the banknotes away and walked out of the door with a swagger, but she didn't know that she was seen as soon as she left.
Following Liu Moyan's request, Xu Yao went to Dongshun Street and found the Bai Family Silver Shop.
As soon as I entered the store, I asked the shopkeeper if he had any pearl tiaras.
The shopkeeper saw that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, so he took out a small flower crown and showed it to her.
The small and exquisite crown is quite ingenious.
But it's obvious that this thing is not a high-end product and is not valuable.
Xu Yao got straight to the point. "I want the pearl tiara that Master Jin just made, the one with South Sea pearls and pink coral flowers."
The shopkeeper originally didn't take her seriously, but when he heard her accurately describe Master Jin's craftsmanship, he put away his contempt.
He asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm here to buy a flower crown for my young lady. It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that my money is real."
She took out five hundred taels of silver and the shopkeeper smiled and nodded.
Everything would be easier if he had money. He turned around and took out the treasure box, and the pearl crown that Master Jin had just made was displayed.
As for other customers in the store, Xu Yao saw these round and huge pearls, and even his eyes were refracted by the light of the pearls, becoming watery and glowing.
Who doesn't like beautiful things?
Xu Yao is also a woman, and when she sees such beautiful things, her heart will be moved.
"What's the price of this thing?"
"The girl is straightforward, the price is six hundred taels."
When Xu Yao heard the price, he withdrew his gaze from the flower crown and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Are you targeting me? Don't you want to sell the product to me?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, you are joking. We are open for business, so there is no reason not to sell it. But you see the material, the workmanship, and the reputation of Master Jin. You also know that the price is worth it no matter how you talk about it. If you can't make the decision, you might as well go back and ask your wife. But you have to be quick, otherwise if you are late, this crown can only be sold to someone else."
As he said this, he put the crown into the treasure box. This gesture clearly showed that he was afraid that others would take a second look at him.
Xu Yao suddenly reached out, pressed the treasure box, and looked at the shopkeeper with a sneer.
"Young lady, what are you doing? Are you trying to rob again?" The shopkeeper said this, but there was no fear in his eyes. He seemed sure that Xu Yao would not dare to do anything to him.
Xu Yao stared at the heavy treasure box and said, "Shopkeeper, give me a fair price."
