When the shopkeeper saw me looking at him, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and then said slowly: "Childe doesn't know, I want to open a store in this Qizhou City, unless you have a lot of money, otherwise this store will not be able to open!" ”

"Wanguan family wealth?" I was stunned when I heard his words, and then said with a smile: "The shopkeeper should not deceive him, if he really has a lot of money in the next place, why do he need to open a store here, isn't it that the shopkeeper doesn't want to open a store in this Qizhou City, so he will find such an excuse?"

"Don't misunderstand the son, it's also a good heart, if the son doesn't believe it, the son will open a store in this Qizhou city." The shopkeeper listened to my words, and his face showed a little anger.

Seeing this, I was busy playing a round field, "Hehehehe...... the shopkeeper is not strange, and he is just talking casually for a while, but he wants to consult the shopkeeper, why can't he open a store in this Qizhou City? ”

The shopkeeper looked at me with sincerity, and he was no longer angry at the moment, and said patiently: "Princess, telling the truth is not that I am jealous of my son opening a store here, but I really have to ...... it." As he spoke, he looked outside the store again, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I have long wanted to close this cloth shop, but I can't close it!" ”

"Why is that?" I asked, surprised.

"The taxes are too heavy to afford!" The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and said.

"Oh, dare I ask how this tax is collected?" I asked.

"For every piece of cloth sold, you take three percent of the gross profit, and for every ten pieces of cloth you sell, you take one of the gross profits. There are also morning and evening taxes, door opening taxes, midnight taxes, etc., this month, not losing hundreds of taels of silver are blessed by the Bodhisattva! The shopkeeper looked at me and said with a look of grievance.

"Oh, I see!" I listened to the shopkeeper's words, and couldn't help but nod slightly and muttered to myself.

"By the way, does Childe know what kind of material Mrs. Ling likes?" When the shopkeeper saw that I was no longer silent, he called me again.

"Feel free, feel free to ...... instantly." I said casually. But his mind was not on this fabric at all.

The shopkeeper in front of him heard the words and brought some high-quality materials. I touched it casually and pointed to one of them, and the shopkeeper did not hesitate to move the cloth to the room.

Looking at his back as he turned away with the materials, I took out a small piece of broken silver from my bosom and put it on the table. Then, without saying hello, he turned and walked out of the cloth shop. Actually, I didn't plan on making any clothes at all. It's just that I want to understand the people's feelings, and no matter what, I'll delay him in doing business, and it's reasonable to give him some silver.

Han Sheng and Lian Yunchang, who were guarding the door, hurriedly greeted me when they saw me walking out of the cloth shop. Without waiting for Han Sheng to speak, Lian Yunchang on the side couldn't help but look at me and asked with concern, "Master Bi, ...... the shopkeeper just now?" ”

"Hehehehe...... Lord Lian, I just want to make clothes for my wife, why should I be so nervous?" I looked at Lord Lian's concerned expression, and said with a faint smile deliberately.

"No, no ......." When Lian Yunchang heard me say this, his face changed and he said.

I ignored him, and accompanied by Han Sheng, I raised my foot and walked forward, and Lian Yunchang hurriedly followed when he saw this.

One morning, the three of us were wandering around this market, although I didn't see a person greeting Lian Yunchang beside me, but I saw something in the eyes of the people passing by, and I knew that they were afraid of it.

When it was close to noon, I finally stopped, turned my head to look at Lian Yunchang, "Lord Lian, I'm a little tired down there, why don't you go back!" ”

"...... well." When Lian Yunchang heard me say that I wanted to go back, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned around and led me and Han Sheng back, I didn't say anything more, just followed him and ran towards the Qizhou Mansion.

When we came to the road, we walked and watched, during which we naturally delayed a lot of time, but the way back was straight back, not long after the three of us walked to the door of the Qizhou Mansion, before I entered the door I saw an anxious Situ Hong rushed out, as soon as he saw me, he rushed to my face, "Husband......!" ”

"Wife...... what's wrong......?" I looked at Situ Hong's eagerness and couldn't help asking.

Situ Hong glanced at Han Sheng and Lian Yunchang beside him, raised his head and looked at me and said eagerly: "Miss, she saw that there was nothing interesting in the Qizhou Mansion, so she said that she wanted to go out to see it, originally Sister Yuqiong and I were going to accompany you out of Lu, but she didn't let me, I couldn't, so I had to let my brother accompany her out of Lu, but they didn't come back after going out for so long, I was worried about ......." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at me again.

"Don't worry about your wife, I think they're just going to play around and will be back soon!" I said comfortingly.

"But my husband ......, just now Sister Yuqiong and I have gone out to look for them, but we haven't found them, I'm worried that they will ......?" Situ Hong said, but his eyes glanced at Lian Yunchang behind him.

I pondered for a moment, turned my head to look at Han Sheng and Lian Yunchang, and before I could shout and speak, Lian Yunchang spoke: "Master Bi, don't worry, as long as that prince and young lady are in this Qizhou City, there will be no danger!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and shouted at the palace, and suddenly Shi Bu, who was wearing armor, walked out, and even Yun Chang was not ambiguous, and ordered: "Shi Bu should send someone out to find Son and Miss!" ”

"Yes!" Shi Bu should have responded with his fists clenched, turned around and beckoned a few more guards, and ran straight towards the market.

Seeing this, Han Sheng on the side whispered in my ear: "Master Bi, this matter still needs to be cautious, I will also go and find out!" ”

"Well, Brother Han, you have to be careful!" I nodded.

"Bi Gongzi rest assured!" As soon as Han Sheng responded, he turned around and disappeared in front of him.

Seeing that everyone was looking for it, Lian Yunchang looked at me and Situ Hong and comforted: "Master Bi don't worry, the lower officials have been in power in this Qizhou Mansion for many years, and this Qizhou Mansion can be regarded as a night that does not close the door and does not leave anything behind, the son and the young lady will be fine, let's go to the mansion and wait!" ”

"It's good!" Listening to Lian Yunchang's words, I nodded, took Situ Hong's hand and walked into the mansion.

As soon as the three of us walked into the mansion, we saw Yuqiong, who also looked concerned, and Yuqiong rushed to the front when she saw me, "Brother Bi......, Miss she ......." ”

"I know the way, don't worry, I have asked Han Sheng to go out of Lu to find them, it will be fine." I looked at Yuqiong and comforted softly.

"Uh-huh." Yuqiong listened to my words and nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

I held Situ Hong with my left hand and Yuqiong with my right hand, and followed Lian Yunchang into the hall and sat down.

Looking at the anxious looks on the faces of the two girls, I smiled comfortingly at them, and when the two girls saw me smile, they immediately stopped being so nervous.

Not long after, Shi Bu, who was sent out to find Situ Qing and the princess, strode into the hall, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he clasped his fists at Lian Yunchang and said: "Lord Lian, my subordinates have searched all over Qizhou City, but they have not found the whereabouts of that Situ Gongzi and Miss!" ”

"Ah......h Without waiting for Lian Yunchang to respond, Situ Hong and Yuqiong couldn't help but cry out worriedly.

Lian Yunchang's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, and he shouted: "Go and find it again, you must find it no matter what!" ”

"Yes!" Shi Bu should have clenched his fists, turned around and walked out of the hall.

As soon as Shi Bu left the hall, Lian Yunchang looked at me and said, "Master Bi, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely find that Situ Gongzi and Miss!" ”

"I believe in Lord Lian!" Listening to Lian Yunchang's words, although I was still a little worried in my heart, I still looked at him quietly and nodded in response, raised my hand and took a sip of the tea in front of me.

The sky outside the hall was getting closer and closer to noon, Lian Yunchang looked at the three of us and said softly: "Lord Bi, it's not early at this hour, did your lord go to eat first and wait for ......the news?" ”

"It's fine." I nodded, looked at Situ Hong and Yuqiong beside me and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first!" ”

"But husband, brother, ...... they?" Situ Hong looked at me and couldn't help but say.

I smiled faintly, "Don't worry, wife, with the eldest brother accompanying Miss, they will definitely be fine, not to mention that Han Sheng didn't come back yet?" Let's eat first and wait for news! ”

"That'...... All right! Situ Hong nodded at my words, stood up and walked out of the hall with Yuqiong behind me.

As soon as the four of us walked into the dining room, we smelled a tempting aroma, and the bursts of aroma made people scream, but at this time, we were all worried about the whereabouts of Situ Qing and the princess, and no one was interested in eating.
