Chapter 22: There is a way to make money
"Girl, the three beautiful men are only from the Brahma Continent, there are two of us in Tiansheng Kingdom, one is our prince you know, and the other is the first of the three beautiful men, is the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, three years old can write, five years old can write poetry, nine-year-old paintings have been famous all over the world, known as a prodigy. It's just that he had a serious illness after he was ten years old, and then he disappeared. Now people mention him only because of his heavenly appearance, the first of the three beautiful men. β
Xiaolan was a little sorry when she mentioned this, "It's really a jealous genius, just like the ninth princess back then, I heard that she was also a prodigy, and like Yun Gongzi, she would make a fuss when she was very young, and she was deeply happy with the emperor." At that time, the people still called the ninth princess and Yun Gongzi as the golden boy and jade girl. I just didn't expect it to ...... in the end," and gradually her voice murmured.
Xia Xiaoxuan's curiosity was raised, "What happened in the end?" Did the ninth princess become a talented girl, and then fly with her golden boy? β
Xiao Lan looked at her with wide curious eyes, as if she was looking at an alien, and finally sighed: "Of course not, the matter of the Ninth Princess is taboo, you better not ask." β
Seeing Xiaolan's cautious look, she still wanted to ask, but at this time, the little second dish came up.
When Xiao Er left, Xia Xiaoxuan beckoned Xiaolan to eat, and she was really hungry.
"By the way, who is the other beautiful man?" She was still interested in this matter after all.
"The other is Prince Guyue, Chu Yuanhao, I heard that this person's martial arts are on par with our prince, and he is known as the peerless duo. But I think he is deceiving the world and stealing his name, otherwise he can be defeated by our prince. Xiaolan's disdain was completely different from the pride on her master's face.
At this time, the voice next to him came again, "King Xiao is really powerful, and Panlong Village, which has given the court a headache for several years, was taken down without a single soldier." β
"Isn't it, I heard that the imperial court sends troops to encircle and suppress it every year, but in the end, the lost soldiers are defeated and returned. In the end, the regent had no choice but to let King Xiao go. β
"King Xiao is worthy of being the god of war of our Tiansheng Kingdom, there seems to be nothing he can't do, with him, we can rest easy."
Hearing those discussions, Xia Xiaoxuan felt very uncomfortable and lost her appetite.
"Girl, why didn't you eat it, weren't you still yelling hungry just now?" Xiaolan looked up puzzled, the most important thing is that if the master doesn't eat it, she doesn't dare to eat it.
He took a sip of herbal tea and said, "I'm not hungry now, you can eat more." Anyway, if you pay for it, if you don't eat it, it's wasted. β
Xiaolan Yile continued to bury her head in eating.
"Xiaolan, do you also think that your prince is a big hero when he takes Panlong Village?" After a long time, a certain woman finally asked depressedly. Why do people like to base their happiness on the suffering of others?
"Of course, girl, you don't know, that female dragon does a lot of evil, burning, killing and robbing, doing everything. Not only is she ruthless, but she is also greedy for money and lustful, and the slightly good-looking man was snatched to the mountain by her to be the princess of the village, and people killed him if he didn't obey......"
"Where did you hear that?" Is this really her? Could it be that the people have passed her on like this?
"Of course, I heard from everyone, and they also said that this female dragon is extremely ugly, comparable to a yaksha. According to the slave maid, this woman must be old and ugly, otherwise how could she shock the entire Panlong Village and discourage the imperial army? β
Xia Xiaoxuan's face became more and more ugly, and her teeth creaked. Who would ruin her reputation so much, she is greedy for money and lustful, but she is not enough to burn and plunder, right? And although she is not a country and a city, she has nothing to do with Yaksha, right? Besides, to be a leader, who said you have to be old to do it? That's a matter of ability, and she has that kind of leadership ability. As for those officers and soldiers who were discouraged, it was because they were incompetent, and their defeated generals could only flee for their lives.
Holding his forehead with one hand, he wanted to cry without tears. If she knew who spread the rumors, he must die and didn't even know his parents.
Suddenly, she looked at Xiao Lan in front of her, who was eating happily, and asked, "Xiao Lan, what if I tell you that I am the female Jiaolong?" β
Xiaolan squirted out all the dishes in one mouthful, if it wasn't for Xia Xiaoxuan's quick dodge, it would all be sprayed on her face.
"Girl, you're too good at joking, aren't you? How can you be a female dragon? β
Xiaolan's startled voice attracted the attention of the diners next to her. Originally, Xia Xiaoxuan still regretted it a little, afraid of being recognized. As a result, they sneered and joked: "I didn't expect that there would be someone pretending to be a female dragon this year, but it's a pity that the female demon is dead, and I heard that she died very miserably." β
"That's for sure, a wicked person like her will definitely go to eighteen layers of hell if she dies."
"Yes, no."
You've only gone down to eighteen levels of hell, and your whole family has gone down. Xia Xiaoxuan couldn't swallow this breath, and when she saw the fish bone on the table, she flicked it into the mouth of the man who cursed him just now.
The man's face changed suddenly, he covered his throat and couldn't speak, and several people next to him hurriedly helped him to find a doctor.
Now the ears are finally quiet, a group of guys who have nothing to do when they are well fed.
When I came out of the restaurant, I happened to pass by a shop selling rouge, and the front door was deserted, which was a natural difference compared to other stores in the market.
She looked at this store, although it was a time-honored brand, but the decoration and faΓ§ade were old, and it was obviously not up to date. Maybe she can start here. In order to prevent Xiaolan from following, she was instructed to go to Zhu Baoge on the street in front of her to help her buy the promising jade hairpin back.
Seeing Xiaolan turn around, she stepped into the store. The area of this store is not small, but there are very few goods on the platform. If there is no goods, how can there be customers?
The proprietress is a young woman in her twenties, and when she saw a guest coming in and hurriedly greeted her, it seemed that she had not had a guest for a long time, so she was so happy.
Xia Xiaoxuan looked around, and her eyes returned to the boss's wife. The cheeks are very watery, which shows that this gouache is really good. So he asked curiously: "Boss, why do you have so few goods here?" How can there be guests like this? β
The proprietress sighed and asked Xia Xiaoxuan to sit down and drink tea, and she said slowly.
It turns out that the proprietress is called Liniang, and the family has been making incense powder for generations, and the reputation here is also good. The husband died early, and he has a son who is now studying and lives with his father. I don't want my father to suddenly get seriously ill and spend a lot of money. The family's money has been spent, and there are many foreign debts. Naturally, I couldn't afford to buy the ingredients to make the incense powder, so I was about to transfer the store.
Xia Xiaoxuan felt sympathy when she heard it, it was indeed not easy for a widow with a child and to take care of the elderly. So she suddenly had an idea to cooperate with Li Niang. She paid for it, and Liniang came forward. Technology development two people can work together.
When Li Niang heard this, she cried with joy. As soon as he grabbed Xia Xiaoxuan's hand, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say? This store has been open for more than ten years, and she is really reluctant to close it. And their whole family lives on this store, if the store is gone, how will they live in the future?
The two talked about the details again, and Xia Xiaoxuan gave all the silver she was carrying to Liniang, and asked her to treat her father first. Li Niang's eyes were hot, and she looked at the woman in front of her with emotion.
"Miss Xia, we haven't started working together yet, you just give me silver, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
Xia Xiaoxuan smiled, "There is a saying that there is no suspicion in employing people, and we don't need to be suspicious, what we want to cooperate with is mutual trust." If you're really a liar, I'll pay for a lesson, and it's worth it. β
Li Niang's hand trembled a little when she took the silver, she didn't expect to meet such a good person, it was really an endless road.
came out of Liniang, Xia Xiaoxuan found out that it had been a long time, and Xiaolan hadn't come back yet? That Zhu Baoge is just a street away from here, and it is not too far, so it is said that he should have come back a long time ago.
Thinking of Xiao Junluo's words before he came out, he chuckled in his heart and hurriedly went back to find Xiaolan.
The work of the jewelry pavilion said that Xiaolan had indeed returned, bought a jade hairpin and left. Now she was really anxious, and she was busy chasing out, where was Xiaolan's shadow on the street.
I searched for a few streets but didn't find Xiaolan, I didn't know what I stepped on, but if I looked closely, it turned out to be the jade bracelet she had just bought for Xiaolan.
Her heart tightened, her hand tightly grasped the jade bracelet, her heart was full of remorse, and she hurriedly ran towards Xiao Wangfu.
When Hongfeng saw her come back, she was worried and happy, and hurriedly responded, "Girl, you are finally back." The green guards are being punished in the ancestral hall because they didn't protect you well? The prince has already gone to look for you in person, haven't you met it? β
Xia Xiaoxuan was about to ask Xiaolan if she had come back, but she heard Hongfeng say that the slut had also gone out, maybe he and Xiaolan had met.
"Take me to Tsing Yi." If she harms Tsing Yi because of her playfulness, she will have a disturbed conscience.
