" Oh, young miss, are you going for exploring the palace again? "

" Un! Ekplor! ", With a big smile, Bai Li replied.

" Yes, My Lady. "

" Now, you can seat here, Li er. " . Patting the sofa for guests, Xue Lian called Bai Li.

After Head Steward Cheng gave the paper and colour pencils, Bai Li start to make her masterpiece. Seeing Bai Li's cheerful demeanor, Xue Lian walked back to her executive desk.

Thrilled with how a single exchange he got sweets and toys inspired him to be a great merchant. He want all the people in the County tastes all the sweets, and luxury from the outside. From a very small unknown merchant to a big Liu Xīng commerce. Until now, Su Xīng is an idol for all merchants.

Now, Liu Xīng commerce is under his great grandson, Su Mi. The one that the Duchess praised being open minded and wittiest. Managed to get hold of medical supplies and armory really pleased the Duchess and the elders.
