Wei Liao didn’t answer.

He stared intently at Niaoniao’s movements, wanting to see what she had prepared for Zheng Changle today.

Yu Niaoniao looked around and realized that the low couch beside her was empty. She placed the big pillow on the low couch and untied the thin rope and fabric in front of everyone, revealing the pillow inside.

“For some difficult reasons, the fan can’t be drawn anymore, but I asked Master Wang at the Village Entrance to prepare something else for you. It’s this big pillow. It’s a limited edition customized version of the little mute and the princess. Are you satisfied?”

The moment the human-shaped pillow appeared, everyone’s eyes lit up.

That gaze was not like seeing a pillow. Instead, it was like seeing a peerless beauty!

The surprise and desire in his eyes were almost overflowing.

Zheng Changle was fat, but he was surprisingly agile now.

He pounced on the pillow and touched it with his chubby hands. His voice was trembling with excitement.

“Satisfied, so satisfied! I like it so much!”

The others gathered around, reaching out to touch the pillow. This made Zheng Changle unhappy. He hid the pillow behind him and looked at everyone warily.

“This is my baby. You can’t touch it. What if you dirty it?”

Everyone accused him of being too petty and not even letting them touch it. However, no matter what everyone said, Zheng Changle refused to let them touch it.

He had even thought about taking this pillow back and putting it in his bed. From now on, he would sleep with it every night.

Seeing Zheng Changle monopolize such a big treasure, everyone was extremely envious.

Among them was Wei Liao.

He had watched Yu Niaoniao intently, afraid that she was drawing a fan for someone else. Unexpectedly, she had made such a huge human pillow.

The little mute and the princess were embroidered on it. If one hugged it in his arms, it would be like hugging a character from a sketchbook. Who wouldn’t want such a treasure?!

Wei Liao walked up to Yu Niaoniao and looked at her faintly.

“Why didn’t you tell me you could make such a pillow?” Yu Niaoniao threw up her hands. “You didn’t ask.” Wei Liao said, “I want a pillow too. Make one for me.”

Yu Niaoniao asked, “Why?”

“I can pay.”

Yu Niaoniao still remembered this guy threatening her and giggled.

“Sure. Give me two thousand taels and I’ll make you one.”

Wei Liao was very dissatisfied. “You sold it to Zheng Changle for a thousand taels! You can’t raise the price on the spot!”

Yu Niaoniao said slowly, “I’m not raising the price on the spot. I’m setting a price for people. For ordinary people, I could sell them for a thousand taels. But not for you. The price I’ll give you will all be doubled.”

It wasn’t that Wei Liao couldn’t take out two thousand taels, but he couldn’t take this lying down.

He sneered. “Do you believe I’ll expose your pen name now?”

Yu Niaoniao choked.

She had almost forgotten about the alias.

Wei Liao was one of the few people who knew her pen name. If her identity was exposed, it might affect her future plans. She shook her small fists and asked angrily.

“Is that all you know?”

Wei Liao said proudly, “As long as it works, it’s fine.” Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t you think you’re shameless?”

Wei Liao’s smile widened. “I’m very happy to be shameless.”

Yu Niaoniao was shocked by his shamelessness.

“The walls of the Imperial Capital were built according to your thick skin, right?”

Wei Liao touched his face proudly.

“I’ve never measured it. I don’t know if it is.’

At this moment, Zheng Changle had already woken up from his joy. He took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed it to Yu Niaoniao.

“This is a thousand taels. Count it.”

Yu Niaoniao took the banknotes and quickly counted them. It was indeed a thousand taels. There was no mistake.

The others gathered around and asked questions.

“Brother Yu, can you customize a pillow like that for us?”

Facing money that came knocking on her door, how could she reject it? Yu Niaoniao said with a smile.

“I can help you customize it, but the workmanship of that kind of pillow is more complicated. It’s a limited edition. Everyone can only buy one. I can only sell 10 in the entire Dayan Dynasty at most.”

When they heard that it was a limited edition and only 10 could be sold, everyone panicked.

Afraid that they would never be able to buy it if they missed it, they immediately rushed to pay.

“Make me one!”

“I didn’t bring enough money with me. These are the deposit. I’ll make up the rest tomorrow.”

“I want to make one too. Remember it for me!”

Yu Niaoniao’s head hurt from the noise.

She raised her voice.

“Everyone, calm down. There are only seven of you. Ten bolsters will definitely be enough.

How about this? You guys register with me first and pay a deposit.

When the pillows are ready, I’ll get someone to send them to your houses.”

Zheng Changle was very cooperative and immediately ordered someone to bring over a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Yu Niaoniao finished at the table and dipped her pen in ink.

“Who’s first?”

However, when she looked up, she saw Wei Liao sitting opposite her.

He smiled at Yu Niaoniao.

“I’m the first.

Yu Niaoniao looked at the group of people behind him who were angry but did not dare to say anything. She immediately understood that this fellow had relied on his strong martial arts to force them away.

She rolled her eyes rudely.

“Your name, identity, and address.”

“Wei Liao, Vice General of the Sky Wolf Guards. I live in Wei Mansion on White Plum Street in the east of the city.”

Yu Niaoniao quickly noted down his information and said casually, “Pay a deposit of four hundred taels first. If the order is canceled, the deposit will not be refunded.”

Wei Liao took out a few banknotes and handed them over. At the same time, he craned his neck to read what she had written.

When he was sure she had written it correctly, he stood up and left, relieved. Almost as soon as Wei Liao’s butt left his seat, someone sat down impatiently.

“Me, me, me! It’s my turn!”

Then, he quickly told her his information and took the initiative to offer the banknotes.

Yu Niaoniao registered the information and accepted the banknotes.

“Next!”

Soon, everyone’s information was registered.

Yu Niaoniao’s harvest could be said to be very generous.

She was very satisfied with the banknotes.

With so much money, she did not have to worry about not being able to hire famous actors during the rehearsal.

The matter of the pillow was temporarily over. Yu Niaoniao opened the bag and took out the bookmarks inside.

“These bookmarks cost one tael of silver each. There are a total of 70. Those who booked them yesterday, please come over and collect the goods.”

Everyone’s mind was filled with the pillow and they almost forgot about the bookmarks.

They gathered around and saw that there was indeed Master Wang’s signature on the bookmark and his personally written blessings. They were immediately excited again.

They had already bought a pillow worth a thousand taels of silver. Would they not be able to afford a bookmark worth a mere tael of silver?

Soon, the seventy bookmarks were sold out.

Only Wei Liao did not buy it.

Who asked him not to make a reservation yesterday?

He looked at Yu Niaoniao again with that faint gaze.

Everything was unspoken.

Yu Niaoniao was speechless..
