Chapter 23: Encountering a fugitive on the road

Xie Youwei is a person who has very high requirements for his own works.

I haven't touched these for a long time, and I feel a lot unfamiliar. It took me several hours to finish a sketch.

Xie Youwei happily raised the drawing and moved it next to Xicui.

"Xicui Xicui, do you think this looks good?"

On the rice paper is a design draft of Bu Yao. On the Bu Yao is a butterfly that looks like it is about to flutter its wings and take off, a few delicate flowers and beads.

The design is very simple, but extremely beautiful.

The sleepiness in Xicui's eyes was driven away a little, and she nodded while looking at the manuscript in Xie Youwei's hand.

“Good looking!”

My lady is the best in everything she does!

After receiving Xicui's approval, Xie Youwei couldn't help but smile shyly.

With praise from contemporary indigenous people and approval from Xicui, who has seen so many jewelry with her since she was a child, Xie Youwei feels a lot more relieved about her work.

The next day, Xie Youwei entrusted Xicui to go out and help him inquire about all the larger jewelry shops in the city.

Xicui fully lived up to expectations. When she came back in the evening, she made sure Xie Youwei found out everything.

There are three jewelry shops in the entire capital that generally meet Xie Youwei's requirements.

The first one was the Zhuyu Pavilion that Xie Xie gave her a rosary before.

Zhuyu Pavilion can be said to be the largest jewelry store in the entire capital, and it has a large flow of people. Many famous ladies like to go there to choose jewelry.

The remaining two families are called Bai Yutang and Yuanyang Hairpin.

The reputation of these two families is far less than that of Zhuyu Pavilion.

But the weakest one among them is undoubtedly Yuanyang Hairpin.

Xicui murmured, as if pouring beans, telling her all the gossip she had picked up on the street.

"It is said that Bai Yutang seemed to have signed some kind of contract with Zhuyu Pavilion. With Zhuyu Pavilion's help, Bai Yutang suddenly became loved by a lot of people, and the business was very good."

"That Yuanyang Hairpin store is different. I heard that the shopkeeper of that store made his fortune by imitating Zhuyu Pavilion's jewelry sales at low prices. Later, he was exposed by Zhuyu Pavilion. Now this Yuanyang Hairpin store seems to have no customers."

Xicui's little mouth was so loud that Xie Youwei felt like she was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket and sitting on a bench at the end of the village. In a short time, she had listened to everyone's gossip.

After Xicui finished speaking, her voice became a little hoarse.

Xie Youwei handed over a glass of water.

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Putting down the teacup, Xicui wiped her mouth.

"Miss, which company do you want to choose to cooperate with? Zhuyu Pavilion?"

Xie You pursed her lips slightly and did not respond immediately.

Indeed, it sounds like choosing Zhuyu Pavilion is the best choice.

The Zhuyuge store is large and has been in business for so many years, so it should be reliable.

"I'll go take a look sometime."

Even though Zhuyu Pavilion seemed so reliable, Xie Youwei didn't dare to make a decision right away.

Xie Youwei stayed at home for a long time, and did not go out until her feet recovered.

But this time, Xie Youwei didn't take Xicui with him when he went out, and went out alone.

Saving money to escape from marriage is, after all, disobeying Yi's decree, and you will lose your head if you are found out.

Xie Youwei didn't dare to take Xicui around, as that would be too big a goal.

She has also learned some kung fu, so there is nothing to worry about.

Xie Youwei wore a large hat, which was covered with a layer of white gauze, and an extra half-face mask was added inside to prevent accidents.

After covering herself tightly, Xie Youwei was satisfied and went out.

Xie Youwei's dress attracted a lot of attention while walking on the street.

Xie Youwei pressed the brim of his hat and increased his speed again.

It's not that I'm worried about being recognized.

It is estimated that no one will connect this fast-footed weirdo with the sick young lady of the General's Mansion.

It's just that there were too many sights around her, which made Xie Youwei feel a little uncomfortable instinctively.

Suddenly, Xie Youwei heard an exclamation not far away, followed by the sound of things falling to the ground.

There were also many traders wailing.

"Shop! My shop!"

Then, people on the side of the road began to duck to the side very quickly, leaving a clear path in the middle of the street.

Xie Youwei also saw the scenery ahead.

A man in black clothes ran towards Xie Youwei from the other end, knocking over the stalls of roadside vendors as he ran.

Not far behind the man, a group of people were shortening the distance between the two parties little by little.

Xie Youwei blinked.

If you read correctly, the group of people behind are Jin Yiwei?

Sure enough, a voice sounded soon afterwards.

"Jinyiwei is handling the case! Everyone else, get out of the way!"

Xie Youwei frowned slightly, and then followed the people around him to walk to the side.

Unexpectedly, the fugitive rushed to a place not far from Xie Youwei at this time and kicked over a vendor's stall.

The wooden frame supporting the stall was also kicked to pieces by the fugitive. The wooden frame scattered in all directions and was smashed towards the side.

And there was a frightened child standing over there.

Xie Youwei mentally estimated the arc of the falling wooden shelf.

There is no doubt that it will hit the child.

Xie Youwei looked stern, took two steps forward quickly, and kicked away the wooden board that was about to hit the child's head.

When kicking, Xie Youwei deliberately found the direction.

The wooden board was kicked out and hit the fugitive's heel.

The fugitive stumbled suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

And at this moment, the man headed by Jin Yiwei stepped over the things on the ground and flew on top of the fugitive.

The Jinyi guards from behind also ran up in a swarm, and with a clear division of labor, they tied up the fugitive tightly.

Xie Youwei stood there and took a breath of cold air.

Her feet were just right, so she had to toss them again.

Xie Youwei felt a dull pain in her feet.

At this moment, a woman rushed over and took the frightened child into her arms.

"Thank you, thank you." The woman's face was covered with tears, and she thanked her emphatically, "If it weren't for you... I really don't know what I would have done..."

As she spoke, the woman hugged the child in her arms a little tighter.

A smile appeared on Xie Youwei's face under the veil. She leaned down and touched the child's head with a soft voice.

"It doesn't matter, it'll be fine."

At this moment, the Jin Yiwei was pressing down on the fugitive and was about to leave.

The fugitive looked at where Xie Youwei was, with a sinister look in his eyes. When he took Xie Youwei's side, he suddenly moved his feet and kicked the hairpins scattered by the vendors on the side in Xie Youwei's direction.

Xie Youwei looked at the hairpin that was so close, his pupils stagnated suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to hide, but there was a sudden pain in his feet, which disturbed Xie Youwei's thoughts.
