Chapter 457: Excitement, Ambitions
Still doubtful, the young man pondered for a second and then asked, “May I know where to deliver the goods?”
Pointing behind her, Bai Hanyun answered, “To the Great General’s mansion.”
The moment the words left her mouth, both father and son froze.
The young man looked her up and down. ‘Her clothes are made from top-quality silk… The color and design look old, but still something only wealthy people could afford… Maybe… she really can afford these fine silk gauze.’
With that in mind, his gaze moved to her jade accessories. In the next second, his eyes widened in shock.
‘Are those Dongzhu?! Wasn’t Dongzhu’s circulation monopolized by the Lin family? Even members of the royal family only have a few of them. This young lady… her entire headdress and clothes are covered in Dongzhu! Who is she?!’
Seeing him just staring at her wide-eyed, Bai Hanyun waved a hand in front of the young man. “Hello? Can you help me send the goods?”
Snapping back to his senses, the young man hurriedly nodded. “Yes, of course.”
With shock and disbelief filling his heart, the young man carefully packed the goods with the stall owner’s help.
After loading everything into their wooden cart, the young man said, “Young Lady, please lead the way.”
“Alright.”
With Bai Hanyun leading the way, the young man pulled the fully loaded wooden cart while the stall owner pushed from behind.
More than an hour later, the three of them arrived at the Great General’s mansion.
Seeing her return, the two soldiers guarding the main gate clasped their fists and greeted her, “Miss Bai.”
Bai Hanyun nodded to them, then turned to the stall owner. “Stall owner, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and call the servants to help move these goods.”
“Alright. Young Lady, please take your time.”
As Bai Hanyun walked through the main gate, the stall owner looked up at the red wooden plaque. “She really is someone from the Great General’s mansion.”
Standing beside his father, the young man nodded, his eyes filled with determination. “Father, this might be our chance to establish ourselves here. We must grasp this opportunity.”
The stall owner nodded in agreement. “You are right.”
While the father and son were talking, Bai Hanyun went to find Xiao Cui. After looking for a while, she found her helping in the kitchen and asked, “Xiao Cui, are you busy?”
Hearing her voice, Xiao Cui immediately stopped what she was doing. After washing her hands, she curtsied and greeted Bai Hanyun, “Miss Bai, you are back. This servant is not busy. Do you have something for this servant to do?”
Bai Hanyun nodded. “I bought something and need a few people to help move it to my room.”
With a smile on her lips, Xiao Cui replied, “This servant will call a few manservants to help. Miss Bai, you can go and rest first.”
Bai Hanyun shook her head. “I still need to pay for the goods. You go find the people first. I need to get the grains.”
“Yes, Miss Bai.”
After Xiao Cui left, Bai Hanyun turned to the kitchen staff. “Excuse me, do you have any unused sacks?”
One of them nodded quickly and replied, “Please wait for a moment, Miss Bai. This servant will fetch them for you immediately.”
“Alright.”
The servant rushed to the warehouse and returned shortly with four large sacks. Handing them to her, he said, “Miss Bai, here are the sacks.”
Taking them, Bai Hanyun smiled. “Thank you.”
The servant bowed slightly. “Miss Bai, you are too polite. It is this servant’s duty to serve you.”
Looking at his honest and sincere expressions, Bai Hanyun opened her sling bag, took out two boxes of chocolate, and said, “Thank you for the hard work. Here, please share them with the others.”
The servant hesitated for a moment, then reached out to accept the chocolate. Bowing deeply, he quickly said, “Thank you, Miss Bai, for the rewards.”
Waving at them, Bai Hanyun left in a hurry.
After Bai Hanyun left with the sacks, one of the kitchen staff sighed. “Miss Bai is so kind to us servants. It would be our blessing if she became our mistress.”
The other four nodded in agreement.
Unaware of their thoughts, Bai Hanyun found a secluded spot. Taking out a bag of all-purpose flour and two bags of rice, she quickly opened them.
While scanning the area, she quickly filled the sacks with all-purpose flour and rice. After tying three sacks tightly, she stored them and the empty plastic packages in her Qiankun Pouch.
Without wasting any more time, Bai Hanyun hurried back to the main gate. Once nearby, she took out the three sacks and dragged them toward the entrance.
Seeing Xiao Cui giving orders to the servants, Bai Hanyun called out, “Xiao Cui, come help me.”
Turning around, Xiao Cui nearly fainted when she saw Bai Hanyun dragging three large sacks.
“Miss Bai, you should let a servant carry these! What should we do if you hurt yourself? The Young Master would punish everyone!” she said as she hurried to help her.
With help from Xiao Cui and another servant, the three sacks were brought out. Wiping her sweat, Bai Hanyun smiled at the stall owner. “Stall owner, here is the payment. Please check it.”
The stall owner looked at the bulging sacks and thought, ‘This should be more than three hundred jins.’
With expectation in his heart, the stall owner opened one sack. In the next second, he froze.
“This… this is white rice!” he exclaimed.
Hearing that, the young man hurried over to take a look. Seeing the sack indeed filled with white rice, he checked the remaining two, and found one more sack of white rice and one of white flour.
Suppressing his shock and excitement, he quickly tied the sacks and loaded them onto the wooden cart with his father’s help.
Clasping his hands, the young man bowed slightly at Bai Hanyun. “Thank you for your patronage, Young Lady. We still have more goods. If you are interested, you are welcome to visit our stall again.”
Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up at his words. “Really? How many fabrics do you have in stock?”
