The old woman was immediately speechless, and it took her a long time to catch her breath: "Alright, then please have this young lady draw the blueprints first!"
Half an hour later, Stone strolled leisurely out of the clothing store: "Chrysanthemum, wasn't I amazing? I got a set of clothes for free using just a few patterns, and I'll even get a share of the profits later!"
Compared to the smug expression on the stone's face, the chrysanthemum covered its face.
How shameful! The second young lady actually did something so disgraceful.
Stone, of course, had no idea what Chrysanthemum was thinking. She was just about to wander around somewhere else when she suddenly remembered she hadn't checked the shop's sign yet. She figured that since she was already out, it wouldn't matter much if the sign was outrageous, right?
Thinking this, Shi Tou looked up at the clothing store's sign, and instantly froze.
(+﹏+)~ She was wrong, she was really wrong, she shouldn't have overestimated her mental resilience.

Dear friends, I got back late from the hospital today.
That's one update for today, I'll definitely post the other one next week!
Shengjianbao is a limping bun who's typing away...
☆, Chapter 134 The Beloved Held in My Heart
The beige background is studded with countless small diamonds, paired with pink circular lettering, making the signboard absolutely stunning. Of course, that is, if you don't understand what it means.
The sign has seven characters in total. The first two are Arabic numerals and English letters, and the last five are the common Chinese characters used in mainland China.
The phrase "a mouthful of Lingxiao blood" is insufficient to describe Shi Tou's current state of mind. His eyes were fixed on the signboard, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Chrysanthemum, what does it say?"
"Huh?" Chrysanthemum was clearly stunned. She never expected that her second young lady would be illiterate! So, suppressing her disdainful gaze, Chrysanthemum answered as calmly as possible, "Second young lady, it says on it, '2B girls have a lot of fun.'"
That's right, even the pronunciation is correct.
Chrysanthemum glanced at Stone cautiously and asked softly, "Second Miss, do you not understand the meaning of the signboard? It's like this: in ancient times, only young ladies from noble families could be called '2B girls,' which was said to be a very prestigious title. This clothing store means that only noble girls can have a lot of fun."
What does it feel like to be mistaken for an illiterate person? Especially when someone who is truly illiterate is mistaken for one...
Stone said she was not calm, she was devastated.
"Second Miss, isn't it a bit too much that you only ordered one dress for yourself?" Seeing that Shi Tou was still looking dazed, Chrysanthemum couldn't help but advise, "Why don't we go and take a look at other shops?"
Absolutely not!
Stone shook her head decisively; she wasn't tired of living! If she kept putting herself through this, she figured she'd shorten her lifespan by several years: "Chrysanthemum. Are there any pet shops nearby?"
"Yes, there's a pet shop on the next street. It specializes in selling all kinds of pets to aristocratic young ladies." Seeing that Shi Tou had finally returned to normal, Ju Hua quickly stepped forward and took her arm: "If Second Miss wants to go to the pet shop, let's get in the car first, it's quite a long way!"
Stone felt that she had finally found a relatively normal shop: a cute pet shop.
“Gawoolawa~~~”
Little did he know, just as Stone was about to get on the bus, Baozi's distinctive wailing voice echoed in his mind, and Stone immediately lost his balance and fell to the side.
"Oh! Second Miss!" Chrysanthemum exclaimed in surprise, and was about to help the stone. But someone was faster than her.
"Oh dear, pretty little girl, how could you be so careless?" A slightly flirtatious voice rang in Shi Tou's ear.
Stone glared at the paw that was gripping his right hand: "What a fat pork hock!"
"Hiss~~~" The owner of that flirtatious voice seemed to have bitten his tongue and took a deep breath.
Stone shook his now-free right hand, looked up, and asked, "Huh? What's your relationship with Show-off Milk?"
"Who? Who's 'Show-off Milk'?" Standing in front of the stone was a boy of about ten years old. His voice was rather flippant, but he was quite good-looking. He had a fair and clean face with delicate features, paired with long golden hair. He had the air of a sunny young man.
Shi Tou swallowed hard. This child really looked a lot like the flamboyant milk she had met in the Crimson Forest: "Flamboyant milk is Dali Ternsue."
The boy was clearly confused by Shi Tou's answer: "That's my older brother, but why are you talking about him like that? What does 'showy milk' mean?"
Stone, with a perfectly normal expression, began to spout nonsense: "You don't know this, do you? In our ancient Eastern tribes, 'saobao' refers to a person with a special body odor. 'Sao' is a kind of ancient fragrance, and 'bao' is a blessing, understand?"
"What about the milk?" The boy was clearly not so easily fooled: "Don't play me, I know what milk is!"
Regarding milk...
"In our ancient Eastern culture, the surname 'Telunsu' signifies a top-tier pasture. There's a saying that goes, 'Not all milk is called Telunsu.' In other words, Telunsu refers to top-quality, premium, and excellent milk," Shi Tou continued, explaining.
Although the boy still looked a little doubtful, he couldn't find any reason to refute it for the time being: "Well... if that's what you mean, then forget it."
Successfully fooled them!
Stone mentally gave herself a V-sign, but before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, the boy asked again, "My older brother's name is Dali Terunsu, and you call him 'Show-off Milk.' My name is Hani Terunsu. May I ask what my name means in the ancient Eastern culture?"
This is a very profound question.
Shi Tou paused for a couple of seconds, then launched into a long explanation: "In the ancient Eastern tribes, 'Hani' means dear, beloved, cherished, or sweetheart—basically, it means love. Add 'Telunsu' to it, and it becomes... the milk that's cherished in your heart!"
Seeing the boy, Hani didn't speak for a moment, so Shi Tou added, "By the way, you must be the youngest child in your family, right? Don't your parents and brothers love you the most?"
“Yes!” Hani’s eyes lit up immediately: “You’re absolutely right. My mom and dad love me the most, and my three older brothers and five older sisters also love me the most.”
Damn it! Are they some kind of guerrilla force trying to have more children than allowed?!
"That's it then. You can also call it Milk of Love, or drop your surname and call it My Beloved!" Stone's lips twitched slightly. Well, thank goodness she transmigrated to another world, not the world of Astro Boy!
"By the way, which of the six great families of the East are you from?" Hani was very pleased with Shi Tou and couldn't help but ask, "I am the young master of the Terunsu family. You already know my name. I am 11 years old this year and will soon be enrolling in the Imperial Capital Academy. By the way, I am different from my older brothers and sisters. I am already an apprentice magician!"
So what if you're an apprentice mage?!
Shi Tou curled his lip dismissively, but a big smile bloomed on his face: "My name is Han Ya Tou, I'm the twelfth young lady of the Han family. Oh, right, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
Before Hani could stop him, Shi Tou darted onto the carriage, and Ju Hua had no choice but to follow suit.
"Oh. So you're Miss Han. Goodbye, Miss Han!"
Inside the carriage. Stone looked at Chrysanthemum, who had been staring intently at him ever since they got in, with a guilty expression: "Chrysanthemum, what's wrong?"
Chrysanthemum frowned, annoyed: "Second Miss, how could you deceive a child?"
Stone rolled his eyes: "Please, I'm younger than him, okay? I'm bullying the older kid."
Chrysanthemum was momentarily choked, but then she immediately thought of something else: "Second Miss, how did you know that the Han family has twelve young ladies? Did the eldest young lady tell you?"
puff!
After talking for a while, Shi Tou was taking out a pot of herbal tea from her spatial bracelet to moisten her lips. But as soon as she heard Ju Hua's question, the herbal tea gushed out: "Cough cough cough, the Han family really has twelve young ladies? What the hell?! I made that up!"
With endless resentment, Chrysanthemum picked up the rag from under the small table and resignedly began cleaning: "Second Miss, you don't even know, yet you dare to make things up?"
“That person isn’t from one of the six great families of the East. How would he know how many young ladies the Han family has? Besides, I don’t think even people from the six great families could know the appearance of every young lady.” Stone, always bold, waved his hand dismissively: “By the way, tell Kurt to go to the pet store.”
“I’ve already given the orders.” Chrysanthemum finished wiping the table and floor and put the rag back under the table. “But what kind of pet does the Second Miss want to buy? Although the Pet Shop has many magical creatures, most of them are quite ordinary. If the Second Miss wants a different kind of pet, we’ll have to ask them to prepare one in advance.”
"Gawoowoowala~~~"
Stone was about to speak when Baozi started crying again: "You brat!"
Chrysanthemum was startled: "Second Miss, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"
"No, I just want to eat a few more steamed buns tonight." Forcing a smile, Shi Tou turned his back to the window and said, "You rest for a bit. I'll look at the scenery for a while."
"You little dumpling, is your chrysanthemum itchy again?!" While saying he was looking at the scenery, Stone was actually threatening the dumpling in a low voice.
"Giggle, Master doesn't want Baozi anymore! Master wants other magical creatures! Baozi doesn't want to live anymore, Baozi is going to poop!"
"Then go die!" Stone roared mercilessly. "I'll remember to burn three sticks of incense for you on holidays!"
“Gawoowoowoowaraguwa~~~”
Compared to Baozi's loud crying, Juhua's voice sounded exceptionally clear and melodious: "Second Miss, we've arrived at the Pet Shop."
Before Chrysanthemum could help him up, Stone jumped down, shouting, "I'm going to buy a dozen pets! Xiaoxiao gave me a lot of purple gold coins anyway!"
These words were ostensibly addressed to Chrysanthemum, but secretly, Baozi immediately deflated upon hearing them.
That's true. I've never heard of any pet owner being able to stop their owner from buying other pets, especially since Stone hasn't been bought yet!
"Yo!" As soon as he entered the pet store, Shi Tou rushed to the large box on the left. The large box was divided into dozens of small compartments, and in each compartment was a chubby white rabbit.
Wow, I didn't know you could see such normal pets in this other world!
"Second Miss, do you like white rabbits? They're easy to keep and fun to play with." After just one day together, Chrysanthemum had already developed an instinctive fear of Stone. Whenever she entered a pet store, her biggest fear was that Stone, whose thought process was so different from others, would buy some particularly terrifying pets.
So when Chrysanthemum saw Stone staring at White Rabbit with shining eyes, she was immediately moved to tears.
Waaaaah, the second young lady is finally back to normal.
"Yes, I want to buy this!" Even though the name isn't very appealing, at least it looks good! "Give me ten rabbits!"
A girl about the same age as Chrysanthemum walked over and asked in surprise, "Miss, you want ten White-Haired Rabbits? Isn't that too many?"
Stone's eyes gleamed red as he swallowed hard. "Not many. If I roast two a day, they'll be gone in five days. Oh, and you have to pick out ten of the fattest rabbits for me!"

Um, I'm taking the day off tomorrow, so I'll make up for Sunday's extra update tomorrow~~~
~\(≧▽≦)/~
Chapter 135: Red Cloud Pig and Little Yellow Duck
Chrysanthemum covered her face, unable to bear looking at the waitress's expression. "Waaah, so embarrassing! How could the Second Miss be so cruel?!"
"This... Miss, the White-Haired Rabbit is a magical creature. Although their magical abilities are weak, they can run very fast. In winter, you can even keep warm by holding them in your arms." The poor waitress turned green upon hearing Shi Tou's words, but Shi Tou's appearance did have an effect. An ordinary waitress would never dare to offend the six great families of the East.
Stone glanced at the plump, juicy rabbit, her mouth practically watering. You see, since transmigrating, while she'd never lacked food or clothing in the dwarf kingdom, their only source of meat was rats. Although rat meat tasted quite good, Stone still preferred more conventional meats, like pork, chicken, dog meat, and rabbit.
"Hmm, so their fur has this use? I understand. After skinning them, I'll make a pair of gloves from the fur." It has to be said that the education in the Dwarf Kingdom is quite profound. In Stone's view, skinning and eating meat is a perfectly normal thing. Dwarves would never treat food as pets!
The waitress looked utterly defeated, and after a long pause, she could only mutter, "Well... one white rabbit costs 3 gold coins." Now she could only hope that the young lady would be stingy and give up on buying it. Seriously, those little rabbits are so cute, how could this young lady be so cruel?
"Okay, I want ten of the fattest ones." Without a word, Shi Tou took out a money pouch from her spatial bracelet. However, besides one item that Huo Tong had given her when she left the Dwarf Kingdom, the rest of her money pouch was given to her by Huo Xiaoxiao: "One purple gold coin, change!"
