Chapter 71 - Bargaining

It was just a stubborn donkey, she couldn't cure it!

"What method?" Gu Qingmeng kept his fan and looked at her curiously.

Yun Qin rolled her eyes and looked at Gu Qingmeng who was staring at her. She smiled evilly and smiled sinisterly: "Old Meng, why don't you sacrifice yourself?"

Gu Qingmeng subconsciously felt a chill at his back, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "What do you want to do?"

Yun Qin pushed the tea leaves in front of him and winked at him with incomparable sincerity. "Come with me to Prince Mansion and invite a painter to paint for us."

She didn't believe that the narrow-minded Ye Han would allow his woman and another man to appear on a piece of paper for the sake of face, and that she would be passed on to her by everyone in the capital.

Gu Qingmeng lifted the tea cup and took a sip, the long eyelashes covering the expression in his eyes. The tea cup lightly touched the edge of the tea cup, letting out a clear sound of friction. He was silent for a long time.

Yun Qin could tell that the old cunning fox was putting on an act with one glance, she slapped the table and said, "Name a price."

"One hundred liang." Gu Qingmeng said unhurriedly, as though he was certain that Yun Qin would agree, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

The taste of the tea was pure and mellow. It was a good tea!

Yun Qin wrinkled her brow and haggled: "Fifty silver."

"A hundred taels. Firstly, I want to sell my looks, and secondly, I also want to take the risk of being beaten up by Old Han. Thus, a hundred taels is not a loss for you." He opened his mouth to explain that the tea had moistened his throat.

Yun Qin gritted her teeth, "Fine, one hundred silver." She silently cursed in her heart: "Don't beg me for anything one day, or I'll screw you over!"

"Don't worry, I won't." Gu Qingmeng smiled.

Yun Qin was startled: "You know Mind Reading?"

"The word 'hatred' is clearly written in your eyes." Gu Qingmeng said.

Yun Qin caressed her face and snorted: "If you have anything else, you should go back and busy yourself first. We'll go back to Prince Mansion later."

"There's nothing to do." Gu Qingmeng said gently, the oculi in his eyes smiling.

Yun Qin stared at his curled lips: "You must have earned a lot of money from this long journey, right?" Otherwise, he would not be so happy. Yun Qin had once again brought in the money that she had earned from the previous round.

"Those who know me, I'm Qin Xin too." Gu Qingmeng said in delight.

Yun Qin made a gesture of disdain and started to gather the people who were free in the pavilion. They had people set up an empty area in the backyard of Silk Cloth Pavilion. Each of them had a small stool and a small table.

Ye Chenxi helped to bring the things inside the carriage in. Following Yun Qin's instructions, he made everyone a hairpin, and Gu Qingmeng asked doubtfully: "What are you doing?"

Yun Qin explained to him, and also told him her own plan. Gu Qingmeng revealed a slightly shocked expression, and sighed: "It's fortunate that I didn't marry you, I take back what I said before."

However, he subconsciously thought to himself, his Gu family is huge, and he doesn't lack silver. He just needs a woman who loves to spend money.

The gaze she used to look at Yun Qin unconsciously became gentler, and then it retracted.

"What do you know? This is my hobby." Yun Qin scoffed at his attitude, she then raised her head and told the subordinate in the pavilion her request, "We are preparing to host the event, and the purpose of this event is to buy clothes and give you a hairpin, so when you see the materials in your hands, you should understand what I want you to do, right? For the time being, I'll give you a raise in place of my hairpin mom. "

The people who were sitting down were mostly men, and most of them were Prince Mansion's guards. When they heard that their hands with blades were going to be the headache of women, discontented voices immediately sounded out.

"Ah?" Let us men be the first ones to... "

"Princess, let's change it. This little one would rather not have too much silver."

There were also voices from below who were very supportive. When they heard about the monthly raise, a guard's eyes lit up and said happily: "That's great, in addition to the Prince Mansion's salary, I can get married soon, hahaha!"

"You're hopeless." The brothers rolled their eyes at him.

"How right is what Xiao Shi said?" Yun Qin echoed the little guard, "Are you guys going to do it?"

She used her blade to sweep across the discontented faces of those seated, and lightly smiled. "I heard from the prince that there's some sort of assessment in the near future, and it's very serious if you can't pass it. If you help me, I'll tell the prince that I'll help you avoid this assessment."

When these words came out, all the Prince Mansion guards present hesitated.

On the other hand, the guard happily supported them, "This little one will listen to whatever Princess says!"

Yun Qin nodded in satisfaction. After a while, everyone agreed and started to study the pearl inside the box.

"Next, let me explain the first step. The first step is to pass the bead through the bead, and then fold it into the shape of a flower …" Yun Qin held the Chai Zi and the pearl and began to recount them in a decent manner.

Everyone listened with a serious expression. At first, they were unwilling, but after they found it interesting, they slowly immersed themselves into it.

Qing Yao and Yu Er also joined in. After Yun Qin finished teaching them how to make a hairpin, he walked around the table. Some people were done very quickly while others were still thinking about the start. This kind of speed was not good for their progress.

Yun Qin held her chin and thought for a moment. Then, she shouted to Ye Chenzi who was busy outside: "night warden, help me prepare some pen and paper."

Very quickly, Ye Chenxi brought out the brush and paper. Yun Qin folded a few pieces of paper and used a brush to draw a rough map of a few hairpins. She then wrote down the steps, and each person drew one.

"Just do as I say, whoever does the fastest will get a reward." Yun Qin encouraged.

Everyone became more motivated after hearing that, especially Yu Er. Her fingers were nimble and nimble, skillfully making hairpins.

Yun Qin walked over to her side and picked up a hairpin to look at. There seemed to be no traces of a hand.

"Incredible."

"Thank you, Princess, for your praise." Yu Er said while smiling.

Qing Yao came over and joked, "Yu Er, I think you must have saved quite a bit of silver to the Silk Cloth Pavilion. Tell me, are you prepared to hehe like Xiao Shi?"

Yu Er's face was thin, after being hit by Qing Yao's words, her face immediately flushed red, like clouds. She shyly lowered her head.

Yun Qin could not help but smile, and nodded to Qing Yao as if they had reached a tacit understanding.

Yu Er put down the hairpin and said: "I'll go outside to help." She lifted her skirt and quickly left the courtyard.

Yun Qin thought about how she would find a good marriage for Yu Er in the future, so she lowered her head and continued to fix the hairpin.

In the afternoon, they made a lot of flowers. They were all hairpins, Hua Sheng, steps and small phoenix crowns.

Yun Qin was very satisfied, she told Ye Chenxi to keep the things properly, and to match them according to the color of each piece of clothing. Then she sat on the carriage heading back to Prince Mansion.

Before they entered the carriage, Yun Qin suddenly thought of an important matter. She looked at Gu Qingmeng: "Do you know any painter?"

"Wenji, her Spring Palace painting is very magical." As Gu Qingmeng spoke, his eyes revealed a trace of warmth.
