Yan Xiaoyu talked with the old lady all night and learned a lot of life experience and anti-fraud guidelines. Early the next morning, she followed the old lady to the market and rented a carriage.
Although this old lady is old and has a frivolous pace, her bargaining skills are honest. After dozens of miles, she went from the original one tael of silver to six ounces of silver, which made Yan Xiaoyu couldn't help but admire her.
After agreeing on the price, the old lady said to Yan Xiaoyu: "This person is walking around in the world. No matter whether he has money or not, he can't spend money recklessly. When the money is used, he will regret it. If he can save it, save it."
Yan Xiaoyu nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, go ahead. When you find your young master, remember to come back and see my old lady here. I will give you some advice." The old lady helped Yan Xiaoyu into the carriage and said reluctantly.
Hearing what the old lady said, Yan Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel hot. She looked at the old lady and said reluctantly: "Mother-in-law, when I find him, I will definitely bring him to you."
"Hey, okay." The old lady nodded and waved goodbye to Yan Xiaoyu.
The horse's hooves stepped out, causing the carriage to shake.
Yan Xiaoyu was sitting in the carriage, her body swayed, and she was staggering in her heart. She was born in an imperial family, and had been well-fed and well-fed since she was a child. However, there were not many people who really cared about her and loved her.
And there are only a handful of people like this mother-in-law who both care about her and can tell her the lessons of this world.
She poked her head out from the curtains and looked at the old lady who was getting smaller and smaller, with hot tears rolling out of her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, I will definitely bring Mu Yunfeng to see you."
As she thought this way, she felt in her heart that there were still many good people in the world, and she couldn't help but have full confidence in her journey. But she never thought that this old lady was the only good person she knew along the way, and what she was about to encounter.
The ordeal has just begun.
When the coachman pulled Yan Xiaoyu to Qingfeng Mingyue Village, it was almost dusk. She jumped out of the car happily, ran to the front of the village, and said to the gatekeeper: "Brother, does anyone here know Yan Zhuo?"
The guard glanced at him and said, "I don't know him. We don't have anyone like that here."
Yan Xiaoyu pouted, "This person doesn't know Yan Zhuo, what should I do?" She thought like this, took out a small piece of silver from her arms, handed it to the guard's hand, and said: "Brother
, who is in charge of your affairs here?"
The guard saw that there was no one around, put away the money, and said: "There is no owner in our village, only the second housekeeper and the third housekeeper. The second housekeeper's name is Guan Mingyue and the third housekeeper's name is Liu Qingfeng."
Yan Xiaoyu was stunned. She had never heard of these two names before: "Can you please tell me, brother, that I can meet these two housekeepers?"
"Our two housekeepers, Shenlong, have never seen each other. We don't know when he will come back and when he will leave. If you want to find them, you may not be able to see them."
While the guard and Yan Xiaoyu were talking like this, a figure behind the wall was leaning against the wall, sticking out his ears and listening carefully to the conversation between the two. This person's name was Sun Dagou, and he was the guardian of Qingfeng Mingyue Village.
The leader is also a hidden stake placed by Jiangzuo's internal guards in the village.
As soon as he heard the word "Yan Zhuo", his heart tightened. The purpose of his undercover operation in this farm was to find out whether Qingfeng Mingyue Village was related to Yan Zhuo. Now that someone mentioned this name, he naturally refused to let it go.
Pass.
Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Sun Dagou walked out from behind the wall and shouted angrily: "Big Fatty Zhang, you are lazy again. Two pieces of silk have been lost in this village recently, because you are not careful!"
Big Fatty Zhang was stunned, and when he saw Sun Dagou coming out, he immediately fell silent and stopped talking to Yan Xiaoyu.
"Who are you looking for?" Sun Dagou clasped his hands behind his back, held his head high, and looked at Yan Xiaoyu nonchalantly with a pair of white eyes.
"No one is coming to see you!"
Yan Xiaoyu saw Sun Dagou's pair of rat whiskers hanging on both sides of his mouth, his eyes flashing cunningly, and she didn't want to say more to him, so she turned around and left.
"If you don't come looking for anyone, I think you are not a good person. Come on, get it for me!"
Sun Dagou gave an order, and two well-dressed men stopped in front of Yan Xiaoyu.
Yan Xiaoyu's status was such that when he saw this group of people being aggressive, he sneered and said: "This is Jiangzuo's territory. Without the king's law, what qualifications do you, a small farm, have to arrest people?"
Sun Dagou saw that Yan Xiaoyu was not afraid at all, and listened to her talk about Jiang Zuo's laws. He couldn't help but feel timid in his heart: This man must be the son of an official family, I'm afraid he can't afford to offend him.
Sun Dagou put on a smile and said politely: "Brother, I'm serious, I am also thinking about Zhuangzi's safety. I want to know why brother came to our place?"
Yan Xiaoyu looked at Sun Dagou's mean look, then looked at how many horses there were in the farm, and said, "I'm here to buy a horse, and I want to negotiate the price with this big brother."
"Then why do you want to leave when you see me?" Sun Dagou asked.
"I think you are fierce and dishonest at first glance, so I won't buy from you." Yan Xiaoyu replied.
Sun Dagou frowned and said with a smile on his face: "Young master, you are joking. If you don't buy horses from us and miss this business, the boss will blame me. The horses here are innocent and innocent. This fat man just said to
You pay as much as you want, and we will never break your promise. Big Fatty Zhang, tell him how much our horse costs?"
"Fifty taels of silver." Big Fatty Zhang replied.
In fact, this horse is a valuable thing in Jiangzuo. The price of an ordinary horse is generally more than forty taels of silver. However, the horses in Qingfeng Mingyue Village are all purebreds from the Western Regions, and each horse costs at least seventy taels of silver.
Big Fatty Zhang asked for fifty taels, also intending to make it difficult for Sun Dagou to get off the stage.
But who would have expected that Sun Dagou actually agreed, ordered someone to bring the horse over, and handed it to Yan Xiaoyu personally. Yan Xiaoyu was stunned, and took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Sun Dagou.
Yan Xiaoyu took the horse, thanked Fatty Zhang, and whispered in his ear: "When your housekeeper comes back, remember to tell him that someone is looking for Yan Zhuo."
After that, she jumped on the horse and ran towards the outside of the village.
Not long after Yan Xiaoyu left, Sun Dagou ordered his two men: "Go, keep an eye on this person, find a place with few people and tie him up. This person may know something."
