I just want to live a good life

Chapter 296 The handwriting is a bit ugly

Seeing Su Nuan frowning, Chu Qi asked anxiously, "Don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just think this style is very special."

"Really? What's so special about it?"

"This bow."

Su Nuan pointed at the bow that covered a corner of the pearl and replied.

"I also think this is very special. I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to draw such a pattern..."

When Chu Qi said this, he quickly covered his mouth.

But his meaning was clear.

Su Nuan was very surprised, "You said that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who gave you the pattern to make this pair of earrings?"

Chu Qi covered his mouth and shook his head.

"What does shaking your head mean? Isn't it?"

Chu Qi still covered his mouth tightly.

Seeing this, Su Nuan stepped forward, pulled his hand away, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I'll just go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After saying that, she made a move to leave.

Chu Qi was anxious, "Oh, don't ask. If His Royal Highness knew that I took out the surprise he carefully prepared in advance, he would kill me!"

Su Nuan wanted to say that the Crown Prince was not that cruel, but suddenly she thought of Dong Youning and swallowed the words back.

It is true that he is not cruel, and it is also true that his methods of punishing people are rigorous.

She looked at Chu Qi with a smile and said, "You don't have to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but you have to tell me what the pattern of the earrings is about."

Chu Qi sighed helplessly and said, "The pattern was sent to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the night before I left the Crown Prince's Mansion. He said it was a surprise and asked me to do it quietly and not tell anyone. But I know that these earrings are for you, Concubine Xia, so when I heard that I was coming to see you today, I couldn't help but take the pair of earrings to see if you like them."

Chu Qi looked at Su Nuan pitifully and begged, "My Lady Concubine, can you return the earrings to me and pretend that I have never seen this pair of earrings?"

Su Nuan glanced at the earrings in her hand and a smile appeared on her face. Pearls were her favorite element and the pair of earrings she usually wore were also pearl earrings. This small flower basket was a small ornament for flower arrangement in her room, and the bow was the pattern of a simple hairpin she made for herself.

These are all small objects that appear around me, but I didn’t expect them to be integrated into a pair of small earrings.

Needless to say, this pair of earrings must have been designed by Mu Yunting for himself.

After having this thought, Su Nuan felt extremely sweet in her heart.

She happily returned the earrings to Chu Qi, and thoughtfully gave her a beautiful red velvet box to store the earrings.

This way, when Mu Yunting gave her the earrings, she could pretend to be surprised the moment she opened the box.

Su Nuan was tired after staying as a guest for a whole day. She wanted to reward herself, so she asked Madam Wang to prepare some more dishes.

He also gave a portion to Chu Qi.

Madam Wang took the food box and personally delivered it to Chu Qi.

Chu Qi knew Madam Wang's cooking skills, and he was so happy to see her bringing him a food box that he couldn't stop smiling.

I kept saying "thank you" when I took the food box.

"Um, isn't Mr. Su with you?"

Madam Wang asked.

"He, he was sent by Concubine Xia to sell tea, and he is probably counting money right now."

"Oh."

Madam Wang was a little disappointed. She helped Chu Qi arrange the food and then carried the food box back to Duiyueju.

For the next few days, Su Nuan closed the door and refused to see anyone.

She locked herself in the room again and devoted herself to making money.

Apart from Cai Ya often bringing news about Xia Changze, nothing else in the imperial city could disturb her.

Seven days passed like this.

On the morning of the eighth day, the second prince Mu Yunyi sent someone to deliver five thousand taels of silver.

When the banknote was delivered to Su Nuan, there were also two contracts written by Mu Yunyi. One contract stated that Su Nuan gave up the management rights of UBS Building, and the other contract stated that the business of Zhusheng Street had nothing to do with him, Mu Yunyi, anymore.

Su Nuan carefully read the two contracts, and after confirming that there were no problems, she stamped them with her own seal, returned one to Mu Yunyi, and kept one for herself.

She was very calm when doing all this because she was sure that her business would be better than UBS in the near future.

These days, she carefully studied all the jewelry that Mu Yunting brought back from the emperor's private treasury.

She compiled these jewels into a book, recording in detail the materials, styles, and craftsmanship of the jewels.

Not only that, she also asked Fusheng to find similar materials, while she herself drew a batch of drawings to imitate these jewelry.

With the materials and drawings, it is now Chu Qi's turn to show his skills.

When Su Nuan came to Chu Qi with the drawings and some materials, Chu Qi was surprised at first, but after he opened the drawings, he was instantly astonished. What kind of magical drawings were these? Not only were there drawings, but also the sizes of each part, the materials used, as well as the difficulties and precautions in the making process were marked.

"My lady, who drew this pattern?"

"Is there any problem?" Su Nuan asked back.

"Can you let me meet this master?"

Su Nuan, who is known as a master, held his head high and said, "It is far away in the sky and close at hand."

Hearing this, Chu Qi's gaze stayed on Su Nuan's face for a moment, and then quickly fell on Chun Liu behind Su Nuan.

"Master, please accept Chu's greetings."

As he said that, Chu Qi bowed to Chun Liu and fell to the ground.

His sudden move frightened Chunliu so much that she hid behind Su Nuan and said hastily, "Master Chu, you are wrong. These drawings were not drawn by me, but by my wife."

Hearing this, Chu Qi quickly stood up and looked at Su Nuan again, and asked in disbelief: "Are these really drawn by you, Concubine?"

Su Nuan looked at the young man in front of her who was sucking his teeth. If it was possible to find a craftsman with such superb skills as him at the moment, she really wanted to throw this guy back to Xiaomian County.

"My Lady Concubine, did you write these words too?"

Chu Qi pointed at the notes on the drawing and continued to ask.

"Why? Is it hard to believe?"

Su Nuan replied calmly.

"Yes, it's incredible. Although the handwriting is a little ugly, the content is really great. My mother said that beautiful women are good-looking but useless, but this is totally wrong when it comes to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nuan rolled her eyes at Chu Qi.

What this person said was really unpleasant to the ear.

After a moment, Chun Liu also reacted. It turned out that Chu Qi came straight to her just now because her appearance was not as good as her concubine. Although it was true, it was still uncomfortable to hear. She also rolled her eyes at Chu Qi.

Chu Qi got two cold stares for no reason and scratched his head in embarrassment.

But this embarrassment only lasted for a few moments before it was replaced by the attraction of the drawing in front of him.

He couldn't wait to pull Su Nuan to sit at the stone table in the yard, and discussed the drawings with Su Nuan one by one.

The two chatted for half a day until Mu Yunting quietly returned home.
