The emperor of the Daxing Dynasty had been to the Wumeng Kingdom, so he naturally knew about the Xian Family Shop. Especially since Xian Ziqian had met the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty and had some issues with him, it was even easier to attract the attention of the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty.
Moreover, the Daxing Dynasty did not mind the business dealings with the Wumeng Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, they pretended not to see it. Even if they knew it was Wumeng Kingdom's business, as long as it had nothing to do with medicinal materials, they would not interfere. The Daxing Dynasty
The only restriction on business is medicinal materials. Wumeng Kingdom is good at using poisons. The Daxing Dynasty has always restricted the medicinal materials business with Wumeng Kingdom and has designated people to do it.
"Why is this courtyard always empty?" Xian Ziyi pointed to the somewhat deserted courtyard next to her, with a hint of curiosity on her face, "I have been here two or three times and saw that this courtyard is quite big, and I don't want to rent it out even if it is empty.
It's a pity. I don't know if it's the property in your boss's name. If possible, how about renting it to us?"
The woman who was talking to Xian Zi Ai glanced at the courtyard, curled her lips, and lowered her voice, "This place is like the cold palace in the palace. It has always been to lock up those disobedient women, tie them with ropes and throw them in, and they will not give them anything to eat."
If you are given something to drink, you are murderous. If you want to escape, there are thugs everywhere and you will die."
Xian Ziyi smacked her tongue and lowered her voice and said: "Looking at no one, I thought it was an empty courtyard, but I didn't expect there were people locked up inside. What you said is a bit scary. It's a pity, it's quite
If a good courtyard is rented out to our Xian family shop and it is properly maintained, it will be a good place."
There seemed to be a vague sound, as if it was a sound that was being blocked up in the mouth and nose.
"Listen, there are people inside." The woman pointed inside, "Sometimes some guests who don't pay will be locked up inside, and they can only be redeemed with money from their family members. More than a month ago, there was an unknown person
The guest who gave the money was imprisoned, and no one has come to ransom him yet. He was so hungry that he ate grass roots. Looking at a man with very thin skin and tender flesh, he now looks like a ghost or a human. Tsk tsk, I don’t know.
Whose young master is he from? He has suffered a lot. The boss has become impatient with the detention. If no one comes to redeem him, he will clean up and serve others. By the way, the accent sounds somewhat similar to yours.
, maybe they are the people from Wumeng Kingdom, they were very temperamental when they first came here."
A hint of sarcasm flashed through Xian Ziyi's eyes, but she nodded and said softly: "Yes, he is so hungry that he even eats grass roots. It is indeed a bit pitiful. Why doesn't his family show up, and a living person is missing?"
Don't rush to look for him. Is it possible that his family thinks he is dead? By the way, you just said that his accent is somewhat similar to mine? I guess he is a man from our Wumeng country? Why are you here looking for flowers and flowers? "
The woman shook her head and said repeatedly, "Who knows, just guess."
Seeing several women each choosing the style they liked and placing orders for goods, Xian Ziai looked at the busy men she had brought with her. She glanced at the courtyard and said hesitantly, "Girl, it's really us.
The accent of Wumeng country?”
"Sounds like it." The woman was already a little impatient. She just talked and had already picked out many beautiful clothes. "It's just that I heard him talk in the first few days after he came, but I stopped listening to him after he was locked up.
"
"Brother, show this girl the style I just made. It was ordered by a rich man for his concubine. I see you are wearing it very well." Xian Ziyi smiled and motioned to the clerk to put her on
The clothes in a box were shown to the woman who was speaking, "That rich man's concubine is not even one-third as beautiful as you. But her life is better and she doesn't have to work so hard. You should too."
It’s best to find a suitable home for yourself and settle down as soon as possible.”
Seeing the waiter bring a beautiful dress, the woman's eyes lit up, and her face flashed with joy. She regained her enthusiasm for Xian Zi Ai. After listening to Xian Zi Ai's next words, she sighed, "How can there be so many rich people?"
The master is willing to redeem his life for us. Well, this dress is really beautiful, but it’s a pity that it already has an owner.”
"It doesn't matter. If you like it and we can get along well with each other, I'll let you go first."
The woman was very happy and gesticulated on herself.
"I have the softest heart, especially when I am away from home. I miss my family members so much. You said that the person locked up in this courtyard has a similar accent to me. I am afraid that he came here from Wumeng Kingdom to serve him because of greed.
My slave deceived his master and ran away, leaving his master alone. It is pitiful. I hate to see this the most. There are some silver coins here, not much. You should do a good deed for me and prepare some food for him every day.
Ask him if he is from Wumeng country. If he is really from Wumeng country, you said that I am from Xianjia shop. If he still remembers who his family is, just tell me and I will help him look for it when I go back.
If you had redeemed him earlier, your boss would have received the silver he deserved, and he would have been able to return home, okay?" Xian Zi Ai said with a look of unbearability.
The woman looked at the silver in her hand and said, "This is quite a lot of money."
Xian Zi Ai immediately smiled and said: "I have to trouble the girl, and the extra money is the girl's hard-earned money. As for this dress, if the girl likes it, just give it to the girl. I am also thinking of a friend, and I don't know that he is now alive."
Wherever I was, I heard you talking about the people imprisoned in this courtyard, and I thought of my friend for a moment, and felt sad. I have troubled the girl."
"Okay, this is easy to talk about." The woman agreed readily.
"If you have any news, just go to Xian's shop and let us know. There are many recently thought up patterns and styles in the shop. If the girl likes it, you can decide on it at any time."
It’s like making a friend.”
The murmurs in the courtyard suddenly became louder, but Xian Ziyi just smiled and ordered the waiter to clean up, then chatted with the woman for a few words, and ordered the carriage to leave.
Sitting in the carriage, Xian Zi Ai listened to the rhythmic driving sound of the carriage, closed her eyes slightly, and smiled slightly sarcastically. Poor Prince Yu must be extremely ecstatic when he hears her voice. It's a pity that she doesn't want to save him yet.
He always had to endure more hardships before he could remember her kindness in saving him.
When the carriage returned to the door of the shop, a waiter in the shop came forward with a somewhat uneasy look on his face and said to Xian Ziyi who got off the carriage: "Young Madam, someone just sent an invitation and said that they want to invite Young Madam to sit down."
"Who?" Xian Zi'ai asked lightly, thinking in her mind, it's been a month and a half, why hasn't the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty made any move yet? Didn't Xian Zi'ai say that she would arrange for herself to see the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty as soon as possible? No.
