Chapter 1654: Chapter 1653: Selling dicinal Wine
The pre-sales for the dicinal wine had already ward up, and the purchasing quotas were determined by drawing lots. Everyone queuing here today had the ans to afford the wine.
Bei Lingsu was also present.
Qiao Xiaomai had specially invited her to co, all for the purpose of verifying the dicinal properties of the wine and putting everyone at ease.
Standing on the second floor of the theater, Qiao Xiaomai looked down at the exceedingly long queue below and called out loudly, “Everyone, all the dicinal wine has been delivered. As long as you’ve secured a quota, there’s enough for you. No need to rush!”
“The different types and effects of dicinal wine are listed on the wall. You can directly purchase whichever you need. If you’re unsure, you can consult Miss Bei and Bei Yun. You’ve all surely heard of their reputation. With the two of them here, you can rest easy.”
“I won’t say more—let’s start selling!”
As Qiao Xiaomai spoke, she raised her arm, and a gong was imdiately struck downstairs.
With the sound of the gong, the sale of the dicinal wine officially began.
Bei Lingsu grabbed Bei Yun and leaped down from the second floor, landing right in front of the Shadow Puppet Theater’s main entrance. Beside them were two chairs, where they promptly sat down.
Today, the two of them were playing the role of consulting doctors. Buyers could direct any questions they had to them.
Their reputations had long spread throughout the Capital City. Bei Yun was relatively accessible, frequently setting up a stall in front of the Bei Residence, where anyone with money could go for a consultation. On the other hand, Bei Lingsu was known for her mystique. She only treated mbers of the Royal family and old Duke Bai, redirecting everyone else to Bei Yun.
To encounter such a divine doctor, who was now seated casually in front of the theater, open to inquiries, was a rare opportunity indeed—one not to be missed. Everyone was determined to ask her sothing, anything at all.
With this mindset, every single person buying the dicinal wine went to consult her, unwilling to waste the chance.
Thus, Bei Lingsu ended up talking non-stop from the beginning until the sale finally ended. In the anti, Bei Yun seed completely unbothered, sitting next to her and snacking idly.
Everyone flocked to Bei Lingsu for advice, leaving him free to enjoy a break. He even asked the theater attendant to bring out so snacks: sweet potato balls, Sweet Potato Cakes, and sothing called “monkey brain,” which he devoured with relish.
Why not eat? Normally, whenever he ca by to eat, he had to pay. Today, he was “working,” so everything was free—he could eat as much as he liked.
Because of all the consultations, the sales went at a slow pace. By midday, Qiao Xiaomai returned to the Field Manor, leaving Bei Lingsu in charge of the proceedings.
Not long after Qiao Xiaomai left, Yang Ye arrived. He ca to deliver lunch for Bei Lingsu. These past days, he had been bringing her all sorts of things, trying to win her favor. At first, she refused to accept them, but after his relentless persistence, she eventually relented.
“A good woman can’t resist a persistent man”–this phrase really hit the mark.
As long as he remained steadfast, one day he would win her over!
The sale was scheduled to continue until evening. During this period, Yang Ye stayed by her side. When it was over, he personally escorted Bei Lingsu back to the Bei Residence.
This provoked mockery from Bei Yun. “Your Highness, really? Look across the land—who could possibly harm my Aunt Lingsu? If anything goes wrong, wouldn’t it be my Aunt Lingsu protecting you instead?”
To Yang Ye, such taunts had no real bite. Back when they had to survey the terrain on the return journey from Yuhu to the Capital City, his lightness skill fell short compared to Tong Sanlang’s and couldn’t sustain him for an entire day. It was Bei Lingsu who carried him, flying to and fro.
A prince, carried in the arms of a dainty woman as she flew about—he had already faced reality back then.
However, this Bei Yun was truly an annoying fellow. Yang Ye frowned and asked, “Miss Bei, when will your family be arriving in the Capital City?”
