As the caravan approached, she could finally see clearly. The one riding on the high-headed horse at the front was the guard who used to stand by Yang Wang’s side.
The guard saw her and a smile appeared on his face. Although he was good at hiding his emotions, Qiao Xiaomai could tell that he, like his master Yang Wang, looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.
She stood still, silent.
The guard didn’t dismount from his horse. Sitting high, he paid a courtesy to her from above, “Miss Qiao.”
“Sir.” Qiao Xiaomai saluted.
As this guard was close to Yang Wang, she being a commoner, had to address him respectfully.
The guard waved his hand, “Miss Qiao, you are being too polite. I’m not someone of importance. Just call me Hu Tian.”
Qiao Xiaomai did not speak, just looked at him.
Hu Tian pointed to the caravan behind him and explained, “Miss Qiao, these are the gifts Prince Wang wants to give you: fine fabrics, jewelry, cosmetics, and some food ingredients.”
“He has cleared out the stock from Xiangji Fabric Shop and Women’s Chamber. In addition, he has also emptied the warehouses of Zuixian Building and the Extreme Taste Residence.”
“I hope you will like these things, Miss Qiao.”
Qiao Xiaomai was silenced.
She swept her eyes through the caravan. Whether it was a donkey cart, a cattle cart or a horse cart, each one was loaded to the full.
Hu Tian followed her gaze and said with a smile, “Miss Qiao, Prince Wang said that if you agreed, you can also empty the stock from fabric and jewelry shops in the Capital City.”
“Of course, the warehouses of the Extreme Taste Residence and Zuixian Building included.”
“The talent you possess is being buried here. The Capital City is where you belong.”
“Moreover, isn’t it your wish to let more people taste your cooking?”
Qiao Xiaomai shook her head, “I’m just a commoner, I have no intention of allowing more people to taste my cooking.”
To let more people taste her cooking?
What bullshit!
Cooking is tiring!
She just wants to let the one she loves to taste her cooking!
“Sir Hu, please go back and tell Prince Wang. I, as a commoner, am too timid. I have no ambitions. As for these things, I’d like Sir Hu to take them back.”
Heh.
Did Yang Wang believe he could tempt her with material items?
The stocks from a fabric shop, a women’s chamber, and two restaurants. How much could these things be worth?
She was not just any ordinary country girl.
In her previous life, she was a rich second-generation. Now, a single recipe of hers could be sold for three thousand taels of silver.
With Yang Wang’s ability, he must have known about her selling the Buddha- Jumping-Over-the-Wall dish for three thousand taels.
Bringing such a small pile of things here, is he trying to belittle her?
Hu Tian didn’t know what Qiao Xiaomai was thinking. Seeing her say this, he laughed and said, “Miss Qiao, we are acting on Prince Wang’s orders. He insisted that these items must be delivered to your home.”
“My home’s courtyard is too small to fit all these things. Moreover, I am going to the town to meet His Highness, Prince Wei.”
Upon hearing these words, Hu Tian raised his eyebrows, “I wonder why Miss Qiao is looking for His Highness, Prince Wei?”
“He said the other day that if I win the contest, he would give me half of the Hot Springs Villa. I’m going to ask for my share now.”
Hu Tian was stunned.
What did Qiao Xiaomai mean by this?
“Sir Hu, my house really can’t accommodate these items. If you insist on leaving them, please leave them outside my house for now. I have to go to see His Highness Prince Wei now.” After saying this, Qiao Xiaomai walked on towards Bailu Town.
She had intended to handle Yang Wang with courtesy, but this situation really couldn’t be dealt with by keeping up appearances.
She’s going to seek Yang Ye!
