Xiaoxiao repeated the idea that in the modern era, a city could have only one agent. She sought out capable agents and wasn’t scared of being copied because she had many more tricks up her sleeve.
"Xiaoxiao, that’s a great idea. Let’s do as you said. I’ll go back and hire the salesperson you ntioned to negotiate in the other counties," said Silver.
Silver was soone who acted decisively. It looked like this deal was going to succeed. She hadn’t expected her lingerie to sell like this and was finally on her way out of poverty towards a comfortable life.
"Right, rember to sign a contract and do everything according to the agreent."
"Don’t worry about that, I know," Silver reassured Xiaoxiao with a confident look.
They discussed their business for a while and hamred out the details. The better their conversation went, the more their spirits lifted. It was if they could see the beckoning of gleaming silver, highlighting once again their mutual fondness for wealth.
Suddenly, Silver smirked, "Xiaoxiao, did you get your wish?"
"Wish for what?" Xiaoxiao was clueless about what Silver was referring to.
"Oh co on, you know, the... wedding night," Silver hinted with a wink, implying Xiaoxiao should understand what she ant.
"..." Is it really okay for a young woman to ask such things?
Feeling slightly embarrassed and blushing, Xiaoxiao said, "He was almost dead, his body couldn’t have possibly recovered that quickly."
This made Silver think sothing else entirely and she exclaid loudly, "Xiaoxiao!"
Xiaoxiao, speechless, said, "Silver, keep it down."
Realizing she had gotten carried away, Silver lowered her voice, "Xiaoxiao, is it possible he was so smoky that he can dig through earth but can’t celebrate the wedding night?"
"..." Silver’s imagination was truly wild. How could she be more open-minded than a modern person? Xiaoxiao replied embarrassingly, "Ah, you’re thinking too much, it won’t be long now."
Seeing Silver’s mischievous smile, it was astonishing how Silver seed more excited about Xiaoxiao’s wedding night than Xiaoxiao herself.
"And you, Silver, how’s it going with the search for your charming prince?"
As soon as Xiaoxiao finished her question, the smile faded from Silver’s face.
"..." Did she ask the wrong question? In just over half a month, how easy could it be to find soone? "Silver, there’s no need to rush, take your ti."
Slumping over the table dejectedly, Silver said pitifully, "Xiaoxiao, I might end up alone for the rest of my life."
"..." How had her attitude changed so much in just half a month? What happened to the persevering Silver who seed indestructible in her pursuit of a partner?
"That can’t be. There’s still plenty of ti," Xiaoxiao reassured her.
"It’s indeed possible. Now, all the matchmakers in the city refuse to set up."
"..." Eh, what happened? Was she blacklisted by the matchmakers? "Why’s that?"
"..." Why, indeed. She didn’t want to say it, but she had a pretty good guess—it must’ve been because of that scoundrel’s marriage proposal, which scared off other potential suitors, fearing they would offend the Chu Family.
Seeing Silver so downhearted, Xiaoxiao imdiately tried to cheer her up, "Even if no matchmaker will set you up, it doesn’t matter. We’ve pretty much exhausted the local options anyway. If there’s no suitable match here, why not look in other counties, right?"
Silver’s eyes lit up at this suggestion, and she quickly got to her feet, "Right, how co I didn’t think of that!"
"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless. Did Silver use all her brains for business? It seed nobody’s perfect, after all; everyone has their foolish monts.
After searching in the sa place for so many years, wasn’t she just running into the sa people over and over again?
"Or if you et soone you like while doing business outside, you could chase after him. There’s a saying, ’When a woman chases a man, it’s only a veil apart,’ which ans your chances are high."
