Chapter 19: Picking Up People
"Jixiangju, Red Embroidery Workshop, Linlang Pavilion. Wow, Miss, you're so amazing! Chu Ya watched from the side and praised it very exaggeratedly. Jiuyao didn't appreciate it at all: "Don't think that if you praise me now, I will forgive you for the evil act of stealing food behind my back and Chu Yun!" I tell you, this is simply unforgivable! Hum! ”
"Oh Miss, I know it's wrong, okay, don't keep talking about it, don't I just can't hold back for a while!" Chu Ya was so anxious that her little face turned red, and her face was full of chagrin.
"Alright, alright, miss, don't tease her. There's still business to do! Chu Yun said with a smile, which can be regarded as saving Chu Ya.
"Okay, okay, then I'll spare you first." Jiuyao clapped his little hands and looked at his handwriting very satisfied.
"Chuyun, you help me deliver this letter, and ask someone to convey it to him, I will go to see him in the shop tomorrow, and ask him to wait for Miss Ben."
"Hey? Miss is going to leave the house so late? The slave is a little worried, why don't you change the time? Chu Yun's face suddenly showed a little melancholy.
"It's so decided, most of the people in this city have already rested, and there are fewer people, which is convenient for me to leave the house."
"Then why don't you go with the slave and Chu Ya?" Hatsuyun tentatively proposed.
"No, you have to trust my ability, Miss. You stayed in the house and looked after it for me, so that if there is anything to cover it up for me. Jiuyao looked very confident and calm, not at all like a six-year-old child, but it really made Chu Yun Chuya feel a little more relieved, after all, their young lady has been smart since she was a child, and there should be no big problems.
This night, Jiu Yao changed into the night clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, and quietly left from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion after Chu Yun had finished the concierge. Halfway through, the moonlight was bright, Jiuyao pondered that tomorrow must be a good weather again, so he used the moonlight to run in a certain direction of the Xiangfu with his memory.
Luckily, I chose the right place that day, and if I go any further, I don't know when I'll be there tonight.
She was thinking about it, but suddenly she heard a low *: "Hmm...... Help me, it's so uncomfortable...... Help me......" She pretended not to hear, but stopped after taking two steps forward. looked around, and saw a boy lying in the hidden shadow around the corner in front of him. The child was born very good-looking, he looked like he was more than ten years old, a pair of sword eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, the hanging gallbladder nose was very straight, the thin lips were pursed, and he was clearly better than a woman's appearance. It's just that at this time, his brows are tightly locked, there are beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, and his face is pale.
Seeing him like this, the situation must be in crisis, although I don't know why, but since there is fate, let's help, she may not have been a good person for a long time, and once in a while, she will accumulate some virtue for herself, so she gritted her teeth and carried him up.
"I didn't expect this person to look thin and weak but so heavy, I knew that Miss Ben would ignore it, don't mistake me again!" As soon as she exerted her strength, the two of them who were almost crushed by the man fell to the ground together, she just muttered and continued to struggle to carry the man on her back, but she forgot that she was only a six-year-old girl now, and she didn't see that the boy behind her opened a pair of bright eyes slightly and tried his best to hook his pale lips.
Jiu Yao used all his strength all the way, and finally dragged the person to Qi Ming's pawnshop. She buckled the door, and the shopkeeper was surprised to see that she was carrying a person on her back, but he also helped her bring people in, and then looked outside cautiously for a while, then closed the door, and led her to push open a secret door with the child on her back. Inside is an extremely spacious courtyard, and although it is late at night, you can still see the elegance and delicacy of this courtyard in the moonlight and lights.
The man led her into a side room, said, "Master, Miss has arrived", and then put the child down and consciously withdrew. She didn't care about anything else, so she shouted directly: "Cousin Ming, come out quickly, someone here seems to be injured, you can help me take a look." ”
"Oh? Who was injured? Are you okay? Hearing what she said, Qi Ming walked out from behind a screen.
"I'm naturally fine, but I picked up someone on the road, he seems to be seriously injured, and he keeps saying that it's uncomfortable, you can find a way to help him take a look. If he dies, it will be in vain for all the hard work I have carried him all the way through, and I have not asked him for any reward. Jiuyao looked at his unhurried appearance, somehow, it was clear that it was the life of someone she didn't know, but she was very anxious.
"Alright, let me see." Saying that, Qi Ming walked to the boy's side, and as soon as he saw his appearance clearly, a different color crossed his eyes, and he just looked at it carefully and quietly.
"I saw that he was pale, his lips were slightly purple, and there were some strange lines on his body, maybe he was poisoned." Qi Ming took his eyes off the kid and looked up at Jiu Yao's little face that was slightly flushed due to the tiredness along the way.
"And what can you do to save him?" Although Jiu Yao was surprised by this conclusion, he did not disbelieve it, but was in a hurry to save him.
"If I save him for you, what good will I do?" Qi Ming smiled, but he didn't forget to seek some benefits for himself at such a time.
"Oh, you talk so much nonsense! Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, don't you know? Can't you just look at my face? Jiu Yao was immediately angry and wanted to stomp his feet.
"Alright then, I'll give you a personal favor. I have my own way to solve this poison, so you can rest assured that you can hand him over to me. Now, do you want to talk to me about our business? Qi Ming looked at her like this, and only thought it was funny, this quirky little girl still had this kindness, but she didn't know that even if she didn't bring the person, he should try his best to save it just by virtue of the identity of this child.
"Okay, then I'll put him here for you, you must help me save him, I see that he is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his weapons are extraordinary, maybe he can give me a big reward!" Jiu Yao was still not very relieved, but he could only come up with such an excuse that made Qi Ming even more ridiculous.
"As for the business, I haven't praised you yet, you are worthy of being the little marquis of Anping Houfu, you are really reliable, and I really have good eyesight. What do you think? Are you ready for everything in the store? ”
"Cut, where are you praising me, it's clearly boasting! The store is laid out as you said, the things and manpower are almost ready, and on the day of the opening, I plan to follow your 'marketing process', and now I just have to wait for a good day to open. But I'm curious, where did you get all those ideas? It's 'promotion' and 'promotion' again. Qi Ming raised his head and looked at Jiuyao in confusion.
"Oh, isn't that I'm good at summarizing and learning! Let me tell you this, just like the girls in Yihong Courtyard go to the street to solicit customers, and the prices of things that can't be sold on the street will be reduced, it's all the same reason, but I changed them to a different form and a name that sounds very high-end. Understand? ”
"Well, I get a little bit of a picture when you say that." Qi Ming nodded as if he didn't understand after listening to it, and pondered carefully.
