Chapter 29 The Cinderella Story
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you a bedtime story."

Song Wushao stared at the earnest woman, feeling something was wrong, but he still didn't refuse: "Hehe, what's a bedtime story?"

"It's just some short stories to lull people to sleep, would you like to listen to it?" Xu Miaomiao tried her best to draw a beautiful arc from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Song Wushao.

"My lady, please tell me."

Song Wushao made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Miaomiao was dumbfounded, is this inviting her to bed?After thinking about it again and again, Xu Miaomiao climbed up on tiptoe.

Song Wushao didn't react until he huddled beside the man and covered him with the quilt.

Lying down stiffly, he wanted to put some distance away from Xu Miaomiao, but the narrow bed made the two of them want to stick together tightly, Song Wushao snorted coldly in his heart, can't put it on.

Seeing that he was lying down, Xu Miaomiao spoke slowly: "Once upon a time, there was a girl who was the daughter of the chief minister, Cinderella. But because her mother died young, her father married a stepmother. Her life was very difficult."

"Eat and live with the servants every day, and two step-sisters often laugh at and bully her."

"Later, the prince chose a concubine, and she also wanted to go, so she begged a fairy, and finally a fairy really appeared."

Before Xu Miaomiao's story was finished, Song Wushao turned to face her: "It's nonsense, there are no fairies in this world."

Xu Miaomiao didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only continue to talk: "Later, the fairy gave her a gorgeous dress and a pair of embroidered shoes, and told her that Zishi must come back, otherwise these things will disappear."

"Cinderella went to the banquet, fell in love with the prince at first sight, and played the flute with the prince, but the time for the prince is coming."

"Cinderella had to go home immediately, so Cinderella rushed home. The prince didn't want her to go, so he chased her."

"However, the man left in the end, leaving only one embroidered shoe behind."

"So the prince ordered that whoever can wear that embroidered shoe can become the princess."

"Women in the capital are scrambling to try it on, but only Cinderella can wear it. In the end, the prince recognized her, and the two lived happily together..."

As Xu Miaomiao spoke, her voice became weaker and weaker, until finally she lost her voice.

After a long time, Song Wushao suddenly said, "If the crown prince really loves her, why would he need a shoe to find her?"

But the only answer to him was a well-proportioned breathing sound.

Song Wushao turned over, Xu Miaomiao had already fallen asleep.

Looking at the woman's delicate and fair skin, and her long eyelashes fluttering with her breathing, Song Wushao's heart palpitations, he quickly turned around and took a few breaths before recovering, what's wrong with him.

The sky was getting brighter, Xu Miaomiao opened her eyes and the bed around her was already cold.

Song Wushao has always had his own business, writing letters to the leaders of the village and so on, so that he can earn a living.

Looking at the sky, Xu Miaomiao thought secretly that he must have come to write a letter.

"Mother, are you going to the market?"

Erbao tugged on Xu Miaomiao's sleeve and refused to let go.

Xu Miaomiao gently touched his head: "Second Treasure, where is Little Treasure?"

"Xiaobao is in aunt's room, telling jokes to aunt."

Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Weiwei's room, sighed helplessly and nodded. After Song Weiwei came back, she was a little out of sorts, and it would be good if Xiaobao could spend more time with her.

"Mother is going to the market, do you want Er Bao to come together?"

"Erbao wants to go!"

The little girl looked at the woman happily.

Xu Miaomiao picked up Erbao and put it on the ox cart, and drove away in the ox cart.

"Boss Wan, how is the situation these few days?"

Xu Miaomiao led Erbao to patrol around the store, watching Wan Fuquan and talking.

The man respectfully took out the account book and handed it to Xu Miaomiao: "Miss Xu, there are so many women who have ordered hairpins during the Qiqiao Festival these days."

Xu Miaomiao nodded, and said, "Then don't sell any more. From today onwards, we will launch our new product, the Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine Hairpin, with a limit of [-] pieces per day."

Wan Fuquan nodded and watched Xu Miaomiao leave.

Er Bao tilted his head, not understanding: "Mother, everyone likes this hairpin now, shouldn't we make more of it? Why is there a purchase limit?"

Xu Miaomiao looked at her chubby cheeks, and couldn't help pinching a few times: "The purchase restriction is a gimmick, and our hairpins will become famous, and the business will be better in the future."

Erbao suddenly realized that he patted himself on the head and said to Xu Miaomiao, "Yes, mother is really smart."

"You little girl." Xu Miaomiao laughed and pinched Er Bao's cheek, then squatted down and asked her seriously: "Er Bao is interested in this way of doing business, do you want to study with mother? "

Erbao thought for a while, then nodded: "Mother, Erbao wants to learn, Erbao wants to become the richest man in the capital, so that his brothers, brothers, mother and father can live a good life."

Xu Miaomiao scratched her nose and said jokingly: "You little brat."

"Let's take a look, take a look, take a look at the newly released Buyang Pill, let's take a look."

Walking around the market, Xu Miaomiao saw a group of people surrounded by some medicine pills in front of the stall.

Xu Miaomiao approached curiously, and told Erbao to hold on to his sleeves, then picked up a bottle and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.

Seeing her coming over, the man thought he wanted to buy it, so he said, "Ma'am, my elixir contains deer blood, bear's paw and other precious medicinal materials, and eating one will give you a lot of benefits."

"Oh?" Xu Miaomiao asked curiously: "Since the material is so precious, why did you buy two taels of silver, boss?"

"This..." The man hesitated before responding: "It's like this, we are charity, we do things for the common people, and we don't want to charge any money."

After all, everyone praised the boss's reputation.

Xu Miaomiao threw the pill on the table with disdain: "You are talking nonsense, there are only plant ash in it, where are the bear's paws and deer blood?"

"You, you have no evidence, why do you say that!"

Xu Miaomiao didn't answer, poured out the pill, crushed it, and wiped it on the white paper beside her.

I saw only a line of gray and black marks on the paper, nothing else.

"You, what do you mean!"

"If there is really deer blood, how can there be only one line of black marks left behind."

Xu Miaomiao questioned loudly, seeing the boss hesitating, everyone knew that he was lying, so they threw down the pill, turned around and left.

Seeing that someone had exposed him, the owner of the stall blushed and ran away with his belongings.

Xu Miaomiao followed him all the way, only to find that he entered a medical center called 'Yi Man Lou'.

Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, has the current medical clinics fallen to the point where they have to test cheating to survive?

"What is mother thinking?"

Er Bao blinked curiously, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said.

"Er Treasure, no matter how poor we are, we can't lie to others. What we do must be a serious business. This is the first lesson my mother taught you. Do you understand?"

Xu Miaomiao looked at her and said seriously.

Er Bao nodded solemnly, and raised his hand to swear, "Er Bao will never lie."
