It was another scorching sunny day. Yi Jiangxue and Meng Qin were dining in an inn, listening to the guests next to them talking about "The Emperor will hold a ceremony to establish his queen in a month and will confer the title of Duanmu Jinxiu, the daughter of the Fengyun family of Left Prime Minister Duanmu."
things.
It seems that the imperial decree just issued a few days ago was posted on the imperial list and announced to the world. It is now the hottest topic after dinner. But Yi Jiangxue didn't care about this. After eating, she stood up and left the audience behind.
Mengqin, who was enjoying the meal, walked outside.
"Hey-hey-wait for me!"
Yi Jiangxue walked a long way before Mengqin caught up with her and stared at her dissatisfied:
"Hey - why are you like this! Just go on your own and don't care about others..."
"I don't care about you!" Yi Jiangxue raised her eyebrows and blinked at Mengqin, "I just saw that you were so absorbed in listening that I couldn't bear to disturb you."
"..."
The corners of Mengqin's mouth twitched and she wanted to deny it, but what Pian Pian Yi Jiangxue said was the truth.
"Well... I'm not concerned about national affairs..." She smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, I understand." Yi Jiangxue nodded vigorously, as if she understood very well, "I just know that you are concerned about national affairs, so I can't bear to disturb you. I admire your patriotism! I'm with you.
In comparison, those soldiers who fought hard on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country are just dust..."
"..."
Mengqin's face was as ugly as she could be. The corners of her mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes at Yi Jiangxue - this woman's ability to satirize people is really amazing!
"By the way, where are you going? You're in such a hurry that you don't even take a break after eating..." Mengqin looked at Yi Jiangxue in confusion.
"Looking for a job." Yi Jiangxue said.
"Looking for a job?" Mengqin looked at Yi Jiangxue strangely, with a puzzled look on her face, "Why?"
Her question left Yi Jiangxue speechless. Why else would he be looking for a job? Of course it was for money.
Although this question was not very valuable, she still answered patiently:
"make money."
"Making money? Why do you want to make money? Didn't you win a lot of money from me?" Mengqin asked doubtfully.
"No matter how much you have, it will be used up. Don't forget that we have been living in and eating in inns these days, and we have to spend money on everything." Yi Jiangxue said, "If we no longer make money, we will sooner or later be left with nothing.
"
"How can it be so fast! I have only spent a few taels of silver in the past few days, and you still have more than five thousand taels..."
"The ancients said that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness." Yi Jiangxue interrupted Meng Qin.
"Your sense of worry is too strong!" Mengqin was a little speechless, "Actually, you don't have to worry about making money. If you really run out of money, I will find a dark and windy night, stop by the roadside, and rob
That's it...with my martial arts, I can do a lot in one night...hehe..."
"Yes." Yi Jiangxue nodded, "You have the skills to rob, but I don't, so I can only find a job honestly."
"Hey - don't you understand what I mean? I can share my money with you!" Mengqin said.
Yi Jiangxue absolutely believed in Mengqin's words. With Mengqin's generous and forthright character, she would not starve herself if she had money, but she did not want to rely on anyone. She wanted to create wealth with her own hands.
Therefore, despite Mengqin muttering behind her, she still moved forward bravely until she reached the end of the road, then turned a few corners and went around an alley. After walking a few feet, she stopped.
Mengqin raised her head slightly and was startled when she saw the plaque on the building in front of her.
"Zuixiang Tower... this... isn't this Qing丨 Tower? What are you doing here?" Meng Qin looked at Yi Jiangxue with a strange expression.
Yi Jiangxue did not answer, but walked to the door and knocked on the door.
It was daytime at this time. According to the practice of the Dacheng Empire, brothels were not open during the day, so she knocked several times but got no response. Only the knocking of "Tuk Tuk - Tuk Tuk -" came and went throughout the alley.
The ground echoed.
At this time, the man who was looking for flowers and willows had not come yet, and there was almost no one on the whole street. Occasionally, people passing by saw two strange girls standing at the door of Zuixiang Building, and they gave them strange looks.
Mengqin felt uncomfortable looking at her.
"Hey - let's go quickly..."
Just as she was speaking, the door opened, and a man came out. Judging from his appearance, he must be a turtle slave.
"I'm sorry, sir, our Zuixiang Restaurant hasn't opened yet, so you're early." The man rubbed his eyes, looking like he hadn't had enough sleep.
"Is Mother Liu here?" Yi Jiangxue asked.
When the man heard the woman's voice, he was startled for a moment, then opened his eyes suddenly. When he saw Yi Jiangxue, he was even more stunned.
"Girl, you've come to the wrong place. We don't accept female guests here."
The man said, he looked at Yi Jiangxue strangely. From the way she was dressed, she didn't look like a girl from the same company, but girls from good families were afraid of avoiding places like them. What was she doing here?
?
"Of course I'm not here to take care of you." Yi Jiangxue smiled and said patiently, "Please tell Mother Liu."
"Mama Liu won't see you, girl, either. Girl, please come back and don't make any trouble."
The man stretched lazily and gestured to close the door. Seeing this, Yi Jiangxue quietly stuffed a piece of silver into the man's hand and put it into the man's hand without leaving a trace, then smiled politely:
"Please tell me, little brother, that I really have something urgent to see Mother Liu."
The man's eyes widened when he saw the money, and his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he said with a smile:
"Since you are so sincere, girl, it would be unreasonable for me not to inform you. But what should I call girl?"
"You tell Mama Liu that I am the one who took away Miss Qingqing, and she will naturally meet me." Yi Jiangxue said lightly.
The man's heart suddenly shook when he heard this, and when he looked at Yi Jiangxue, his eyes immediately changed, full of admiration.
"The young one is really blind and blind. I will go and report it right away. Please wait patiently, girl."
Naran quickly said that he happened to miss the bidding night of Oiran Liu Qingqing because of something at home. When he came back, he heard that Miss Qingqing was taken away by a woman. He was shocked! He didn't expect that he would have a chance to see that person today.
My true self.
Mengqin watched the man run into the house diligently, then turned around and glared at Yi Jiangxue:
"What you mean by looking for a job is to work as a prostitute in a brothel, right?"
