But when she said that, the little girl’s face became even uglier, and she stood up with a grimace.
“My mum doesn’t keep me locked up, it’s that bad man who keeps me and my mum locked up.”
“Huh? Is your grandma locked up too?”
Ruo Ruo instantly feigned a very shocked expression again as she looked at the girl with a look of disbelief on her face.
“Why is he locking you all up? Did you guys do something wrong? And where exactly are you being held? You were let out? And what about your ama? Did she get out too?”
She asked the question she most wanted to know.
But just then, suddenly someone came into the garden, and upon seeing the two of them here, approached them directly.
“Nineteenth Ji, why are you here? Why don’t you go back and learn the maiden’s red, the chief will chastise you again later.”
It turned out to be the inner court headman.
The little girl saw it, and at once saw her little face change, she threw away all the words she had already dug out, and the person stood up hurriedly.
Ruo Ruo saw that and was also anxious.
She caught her again and grasped her and asked, “Nige, tell me quickly, has your ama come out yet? Tell me quickly and I can help you!”
Nige: “……”
After a while, the little girl finally turned her head and spoke to her quickly before the Netting head came over, “No, my ama is still locked up.”
“Then …… where is she?”
“Nige, why are you so disobedient? Still pulling on this sister.”
The Netting Head began to get angry and walked faster on his feet.
Nige then no longer dared to speak as she shook off the foolish sister’s hand with all her might and scampered away.
Ruo Ruo: “……”
What a way to get P*ssed off!
“God little princess?”
“What for?”
Ruo Ruo was in an extremely bad mood and opened her mouth with a very impatient sentence.
The headman of the inner court hurriedly smiled along, “Sorry little princess, this nineteenth Ji of ours doesn’t know what to do and has caused trouble for the little princess, don’t worry, I won’t let her wander off again.”
This headman, I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, actually still thought that Ruo Ruo’s tug of war with Nige was because of the chicken theft yesterday.
Ruo Ruo stomped her foot, not bothering to go talk to him.
He was about to leave when this head of the inner court, however, followed him again.
“Little Princess God, there is one more thing that we would like to ask for your help, that is, we have negotiated this order, but it is the first time we do business with a foreigner, and we still don’t know the standard of the goods, our chief means that we would like to ask the little princess to help us with the gatekeeper, I wonder if it is convenient for the little princess?”
“Customs clearance?”
Ruo Ruo could only pause again.
“Yes, gatekeeper, as you know, the people of our tribe usually weave cloth and make handmade silver ornaments according to their own preferences and needs, and the quality will certainly vary, and since the little princess is specialized in this business, she must know the needs of those foreign businessmen very well, and help us set the standard for the first batch of goods, then it will be much easier for us to follow. ”
This head man explained again, very modestly and politely.
This was, indeed, as it should be, as a primitive tribe that had closed its doors and had never worked with outside businessmen in its life, and to be honest, someone really should take them on.
Ruo Ruo eventually agreed to do so.
She was good natured and responsible, and that certainly wouldn’t be ignored.
Nige, who was still sneaking around not far away, just waiting for the two to leave and bring that flower back to Auntie, saw the big dumb sister, following the head of the inner court.
“So where do we go first?”
“Why don’t we go to see the materials first, we have nettles and rattan silk if we weave here, would the little princess like to go and see which is better to use?”
“Yes!”
The young girl, who was fully into her work, agreed readily, and then she followed this headman.
Nige stepped out.
Vines?
Wasn’t that only found in the Blackwater Forest? The vines there were cut and woven to make nice and light fabrics, but Ama had said it was dangerous there, besides being a swamp, there was a lot of miasma.
Never mind her, who made her so annoying.
Nige didn’t bother about it, but after digging up the flower, she ran back.
But, to no one’s surprise, on this day, Ruo Ruo had never returned since she had gone to the governor, and until the evening, when Murbaugh had returned from his rounds, he still hadn’t seen his sister come back.
“What’s going on? Why hasn’t she come back yet?”
“I don’t know yet, I wonder if she’s over at the King’s Court? She seems to have quite a lot going on today, I saw the residents over at the tribe, they are all getting busy.”
The staff didn’t bother to pay attention to this matter either.
Because, the busyness of the tribesmen meant that the little girl was the one who got things done, and this, which was supposed to be a big deal, it was normal for her to still need to follow some closing up.
But Murbaugh didn’t believe it.
They were triplets, and if things weren’t going well with his sister, he was more than likely going to be able to sense it.
Mo Bao went straight to the royal court.
