Chapter 1589: Chapter 1569: He Wenyu’s Opportunity
"But I’ve never read this before. Do you know which well-known author’s work this is? What’s it called?" The Eldest Princess was still full of curiosity.
"Uh... ’Monkey Cultivates Buddha,’ yes, that’s the name." Luo Qianqian thought for a moment before speaking.
After all, the concept of questing for scriptures may seem odd to people here, right? But if it’s about cultivating Buddhism, people in this world might understand better.
The Eldest Princess nodded with a sudden realization. In fact, after she finished reading, she asked someone to search for this manuscript, but despite going through all the available ones on the market, she couldn’t find even a trace, leaving her quite frustrated. She had no choice but to risk coming here to ask Luo Qianqian, who surprisingly had never even published it?
He Wenyu, standing by the side with a face full of lines, didn’t want to say anything anymore. Honestly, what was said made sense, but she found it somewhat awkward to listen to.
Not just He Wenyu, even Bai Yizhu in the room had a face full of lines.
To come up with such a name, truly worthy of Luo Qianqian.
"But, Miss Shiqi..." The Eldest Princess’s eyes suddenly lit up, and Luo Qianqian had a bad feeling. Could it be that the Eldest Princess wanted to do business?
"Just call me Shiqi." Luo Qianqian smiled lightly, maintaining a composed expression.
The Eldest Princess nodded as well, "Then Shiqi, am I right in saying that I’m the first one to see this manuscript?"
It seems she’s not wrong...
Luo Qianqian nodded. Except for those from the Nine Heavens Pavilion and the people in this courtyard, she indeed was the first to see it.
"How about we start a book society to promote this manuscript?" The Eldest Princess’s eyes sparkled brightly.
Sure enough, just as she expected... Luo Qianqian sighed helplessly, but then looked at the Eldest Princess, "Why?"
Isn’t it good enough to read by oneself? Why must it be shown to others?
The Eldest Princess chuckled helplessly, "But after reading it, I find there’s no one to discuss it with, which makes me feel quite lonely."
...You really dare to find someone to discuss with? Using your body as what? You’re a pregnant woman in a constant crisis kind of pregnancy.
However, as a Princess, shouldn’t she not need to do business herself? Even with the royal stipend, it ought to be sufficient for her to indulge in.
Not to mention, she also has some dowry in hand.
"But as a Princess, can you show yourself in public?" Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but worry a bit.
While a Princess’s brand might ease things, it also brings many troubles.
Like someone capable of harming the Eldest Princess, who’s to say they won’t sabotage the business?
Although the Nine Heavens Pavilion’s family wealth is considerable, they’re not to be trifled with.
"I found a good partner." The Eldest Princess winked playfully at Luo Qianqian and called out toward the courtyard, "Come in."
Luo Qianqian looked over with curiosity, growing a bit anxious. If another prince or princess shows up, won’t the two people in the room escape through the window?
"Oh?" Seeing a person disguised as a man walk in, Luo Qianqian looked at the Eldest Princess with astonishment, even He Wenyu seemed surprised, frowning deeply.
"Sorry to intrude." Cong Ying said with composure, bringing a small box into the courtyard, placing it on the table, and smiled, "I have read the manuscript without permission; pardon any offense."
...You’ve already read it, now what’s the point of saying this?
"Cong Ying is related to the Du Family, but she’s my trusted close friend, so you can rest assured." The Eldest Princess assured the two.
Luo Qianqian turned to He Wenyu, "How about it? Want to have a try?"
"Huh?" He Wenyu was stunned.
"Don’t you always say women can’t be underestimated? Here’s your chance, don’t ruin the reputation we earned for pocket money back then. My brother has already made his mark, it’s up to you now." Luo Qianqian smiled, "Want to give it a shot? I’ll fund it with my own savings, if it fails, it’s on me."
He Wenyu immediately punched Luo Qianqian’s shoulder, "What are you talking about? How can it fail?"
Actually, He Wenyu has always longed to show her skills to others.
But in terms of skill, there’s Luo Xiying, Bai Yixian, and even Feng Xi above, among those of the same age, Luo Qianqian is exceptionally outstanding, difficult for her to stand at the forefront.
Even her expertise in making snacks can be taught to others, it’s not exclusively hers.
So, when Luo Qianqian spoke, her thoughts came alive, looking at Luo Qianqian with a gaze full of affirmation, she nodded firmly.
They’re not blood sisters but closer than blood sisters, no need to be polite with Luo Qianqian.
Seeing He Wenyu’s reaction, Luo Qianqian laughed, shrugged at the Eldest Princess, "You saw it, we’ve handed it all over to Shiliu, you can discuss business with her, we’re not involved."
Saying this, Luo Qianqian naturally walked to the side.
The Eldest Princess smiled at Cong Ying too, "I’ll leave this to you, good luck." Then she walked to Luo Qianqian’s side, slightly shyly asked, "Is he well?"
"Well... Before I left, he was doing well, eating and sleeping well, just worried about you. How’s your health now?" Luo Qianqian sighed internally, criticizing Lin Jiayou for being irresponsible, leaving a pregnant woman here?
Lin Jiayou: "???" Is this my fault???
Actually, Luo Qianqian didn’t intend to take Lin Jiayou away, but Lin Jiayou worried about Luo Shufan, since they are all family after all.
"Did you finish the snack? If you did, I have more here." Luo Qianqian continued.
Plums and the like, because of the many pregnancies at the time, Luo Xinyue directly bought them by the container, until now, the children have been born, and there’s still quite a bit in stock...
Plus, Qin Nuan’s parents have the skill of making tasty pickled vegetables, eventually, these things went uneaten.
Even as snacks, they’re hard to consume...
"Are there any left?" The Eldest Princess’s eyes lit up, then she half-lowered her head, embarrassedly smiling, "I have no taste in my mouth, the candied fruits bought are too sweet, but those plums were great, they’re already gone."
Uh... No problem with your teeth, right?
After eating three or four and feeling her teeth hurt from the sourness, Luo Qianqian was puzzled.
But seeing that there seemed to be no problem, she smiled and said, "Wait, I’ll get you some." Finally, there’s a solution, Luo Qianqian was also happy.
Even adding it as a seasoning in desserts still results in quite a significant amount.
And He Wenyu has been exploring sour plum cakes recently...
