Chapter 110 The Princess's Kindness
"Shopkeeper Wan?"
After hearing this, Qin Yaoguang asked Guyu to go out and ask for details.
The waiter bowed and said, "Manager Wan is grateful for the princess's kindness. He heard that Your Highness had arrived at the West Market, so he prepared a banquet and asked me to invite Your Highness over."
He was fair-skinned, clever, and smiling.
"The shopkeeper also knows that it is really unfair for Your Highness to come to Wanmin Building for his wealth. I hope Your Highness will consider his sincere heart and honor him with a visit. The building is fully prepared and will definitely not disturb Your Highness."
He spoke very clearly, and even though he was talking to Guyu, Qin Yaoguang and Chunning in the teahouse could hear it clearly.
Qin Yaoguang smiled and looked at Chun Ning, saying, "It's a pity for Manager Wan to show his kindness. Why don't we have dinner at Wanmin Building tonight before returning home?"
Chun Ning naturally would not object, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that he would take back his own property, and he could also taste the cooking skills of Shopkeeper Wan, so why not?"
Qin Yaoguang did not expect this.
She knew Wanmin Building, but she didn't know it was in Xishi.
The Marquis's wife made such a big fuss that Manager Wan found out about it and specially invited her over.
"Row."
Qin Yaoguang agreed and said to Guyu, "Tell him that we estimate we will be there in half an hour."
After being disrupted by the Marquis's wife, she hadn't started her business yet, so naturally she had to do her business first.
After coming out of the teahouse, she took her people to visit several shops.
In Xishi, there was originally a calligraphy and painting shop which was her business. It mainly sold some storybooks, more affordable paper and pens, etc.
The bookstore she owns, located in the suburbs of Beijing, not only supplies this shop but also serves other booksellers.
Because of the trouble caused by the Marquis's wife, even if she did not display the ceremonial guard of the eldest princess, everyone in the West Market knew that she was the eldest princess who could not be offended.
As we moved forward, people gave way one after another.
There was curiosity, but more of fear, in the eyes looking at her.
That's the eldest princess!
Even a big shot like the wife of the Marquis's Mansion, she said she would take her down if she wanted to, so it's better to stay away from her.
Qin Yaoguang didn't care either.
Unexpectedly, when I came to ancient times, I enjoyed the treatment that only celebrities have and was the focus of attention of thousands of people.
As she walked around, in addition to doing her business, she was also interested in the various foods and gadgets sold at the street stalls.
Chun Ning had never seen these things before, so he walked and stopped.
"Sister, look, isn't this cut very beautifully?"
Chun Ning squatted down and picked up a beautiful red paper-cut from a roadside stall.
This paper-cut was made with extremely exquisite craftsmanship, depicting two ladies who are facing each other and seem to be whispering.
One of them holds a silk fan and the other holds a book.
What’s even more rare is that even the banana trees behind them, the rocks in the foreground, and the grass under their feet are cut to look lifelike.
The stall owner was a young woman wearing a headscarf. A child of two or three years old was sitting at her feet, playing with pebbles on the ground.
When the woman saw the princess arriving, thinking of the comments about the eldest princess she had heard before, she quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
In my heart, I was secretly complaining.
Her husband was ill and could not work in the fields.
Fortunately, she had the skill of paper-cutting, so she took the village ox cart to the West Market in the capital every day to set up a stall and sell her papers.
There was no one to take care of the child at home, so I had to bring him with me.
But paper-cutting cannot be eaten or drunk, and there are not many customers, so the income is just enough to make a living.
In order to make people willing to buy it, she spent some money to buy brightly colored paper.
How to do?
They were princesses, and if they took it away without paying, she would have no way to stop them.
The whole family depends on her for support!
Chun Ning didn't know what she was thinking. The reason why the paper-cut attracted her attention was that the two people in the paper-cut reminded her of the scene when she and the imperial sister were talking head to head.
Qin Yaoguang nodded and smiled, "It is indeed a very good cut."
When she was doing a brand event in modern times, she specially invited a paper-cutting master to take charge.
However, in her opinion, the master's craftsmanship is not as good as the paper-cuts sold in the stall in front of her.
Is it because these folk crafts are lost as they are passed down?
Qin Yaoguang leaned over and admired the paper-cut in front of the woman.
There are not only ladies, but also the vividly cut twelve zodiac animals, majestic door gods, smiling God of Wealth and so on.
This woman is not only skilled in craftsmanship, but also smart.
Suitable for all ages, everything is available.
But she was selling her products on the street in West Market, and the people passing by were in a hurry, struggling to make a living. After all, only a few of them would stop to appreciate her products.
Although it is just paper cutting, it is also a handicraft.
When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette.
Only when people have no worries about food and clothing will they have high-level spiritual pursuits.
Taking a look at her patched and washed-white coarse cloth clothes, Qin Yaoguang said to Shuangjiang, "Ask the price. I want them all."
"You want all... all?"
The sudden surprise made the woman look up in disbelief.
When he saw the beautiful and noble Qin Yaoguang in front of him, he realized belatedly that he would offend the eldest princess and quickly lowered his head again.
Qin Yaoguang certainly wouldn't argue with her. After giving her instructions, she said to Shuangjiang, "Ask her and if it's convenient, please leave her name. When our calligraphy and painting shop opens, we can let her sell it on consignment."
She always has some respect for craftsmen.
If she wasn't forced by life, why would a woman come out in public to set up a stall?
And with an ignorant child.
She packed up all the goods on the stall and could go home and rest earlier.
As for consignment, it can not only reduce the woman's fatigue of running back and forth, but also allow her to find more suitable customers.
Paper-cutting is not expensive, a small one costs five cents and a large one costs ten cents.
Shuangjiang stayed behind to clean up and settle the bill, while Qin Yaoguang, Guyu, and Chunning continued to move forward.
Unexpectedly, the young woman was stunned, then pulled the child to her knees behind her with a plop.
"Princess, thank you for your kindness. I kowtow to you!"
She only hated herself for not being able to express her gratitude in the most eloquent way.
The woman's voice was choked with sobs. The child was pressed to the ground with a confused look on his face. He was in pain and pouted his lips, almost crying.
Qin Yaoguang turned around and held his forehead.
She was just doing a good deed, not to see people kowtow to her.
She motioned the little maid to help the woman up, and said gently, "No need to do this, just live a good life."
Watching her back as she walked away, the woman took the silver from Shuangjiang's hand, wiped her tears and said, "I am Xiang Chen, thank you, young lady."
"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank our master."
After agreeing on the consignment matter with her, Shuangjiang gave the newly bought paper-cuts to the servant to keep and followed her.
Wanmin Building is located at the intersection of Xishi Street and connected to the main street, with a superior location.
After it was redecorated, many low-ranking officials and businessmen also held banquets and listened to music here.
Qin Yaoguang looked up and said to Chun Ning with a smile: "Manager Wan, this is a blessing in disguise."
