"It should be right." Xiao Lingyue also got out of the car, glanced at the gate of the mansion, and felt quite satisfied.
She found it according to the address on the land deed, which is here.
It is worthy of being the former princess mansion.
It's just style.
Don't know what it's like inside.
Next to this mansion is Prince Yi's Mansion. The main entrances of the two mansions are on the same street, only a few hundred meters apart.
This is already quite close in Beijing.
"But, but..." Qing Luo's voice was weak, and she had countless questions in her heart.
But, this is South Street!
Didn’t the lady say that she would take them back to her home? How could they find them on South Street?
Even a maid like Qing Luo, who sells herself, has heard of the famous name of South Street, and the people who live here are all relatives of the emperor.
Miss...are you really not looking for the wrong place?
Before Qing Luo could ask all her questions, the driver next to her stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Chenghui, the fare is two taels of silver."
Qingluo's attention was immediately diverted, and she looked at the coachman in surprise: "So expensive? Didn't you agree that it would only cost one tael?"
The driver said matter-of-factly: "Because this is South Street!"
Qingluo: “??”
The coachman said: "Those who go to South Street to do business have to pay twice as much, so it's two taels."
Qingluo: "..." She was dumbfounded.
"How can there be such a rule? You didn't tell me earlier!"
Qingluo came from a poor background. For ordinary people, two taels of silver could buy ten days and a half of rice.
She suddenly felt distressed.
The coachman said: "The land tax on South Street is higher than other places. We also have to pay when we come in to do business. Two taels is the normal price. Besides, girl, you didn't say you were going to South Street in the first place."
Qingluo has nothing to say.
The coachman looked at her suspiciously: "Isn't your lady living on South Street? This is a noble street, so you can't even pay two taels of silver for the fare, right?"
Looking at the coachman's eyes, he seemed to have doubted their identity.
Qingluo endured her heartache and reached out to touch her purse.
As a result, I got nothing.
Her expression changed, and she hurried to Xiao Lingyue and lowered her voice: "Miss, my purse was taken away by Grandma Li yesterday. I don't have any money on me. What should I do with the car money?"
"It's okay, I have..." Xiao Lingyue subconsciously reached out to touch her purse.
However, it also came up empty.
Only then did Xiao Lingyue remember that she had changed into the clothes she wore at Prince Yi's Mansion, and all the things she had brought with her before, except for the medicine bottles, were all thrown on the collapsed mine.
This also includes the banknotes she usually carries with her.
In other words, she is now penniless, not even a copper.
"..." Xiao Lingyue's expression froze slightly.
"Miss?" Qing Luo looked at her doubtfully, her expression gradually changed, "Could it be that..." Miss doesn't have any money?
"Don't panic!" Xiao Lingyue comforted her, then lowered her head and asked Beibei, "Where are the banknotes you carry?"
She usually gives Beibei some pocket money and lets him keep it for himself.
As a result, Beibei said depressedly: "I lost it in Xiangguo Temple."
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Qingluo: "..."
The master and the servant both froze.
The driver waited beside him for a long time, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he showed a suspicious expression: "You don't want to default on the bill, do you?"
