As soon as she approached the door of the wing, Yao Yun heard the conversation of the ladies in the room, as if she had mentioned herself.

She waved her hand and motioned for Bai Lu not to make a sound.

"I heard that Mrs. Yao diligently guarded in front of the door for half an hour, but I didn't expect to end up eating a closed door, and she was scolded by Du Hu! It's a shameless ......."

It was the newly graced Miss Sisi who teased her, and every word was filthy.

"Sister Sisi, it seems that this Yao lady is really not favored. But she's just a lowly-born concubine, so she shouldn't be afraid! ”

"Yes, yes, don't be afraid of her. And you remember, don't call her Mrs. in front of the protector. I called the old woman Madame in front of him last night, and Du Hu was so angry that he scolded her for being despicable and unworthy, and ordered me not to say the word Madame again in the future. Do you remember? ”

"Mmmm, remember it, thank you Sister Sisi for mentioning it, otherwise my sister would have been implicated by that old woman."

Miss Nian also pulled her to ask questions eagerly, full of anticipation to seize the next opportunity.

"Sister Sisi, I really envy you, if you are rich in the future, don't forget to bring my sister to me. I don't know when my sister will have a chance......" Miss Niannian looked at her with envy in her eyes, and the envy was about to overflow the honey pot in her eyes.

"My sister is serious, but she has inherited a grace, and she hasn't even skimmed the eight characters yet!"

Miss Sisi pursed her lips tightly, trying to keep the smile on her face, but the bitterness in it could only be swallowed silently into her stomach.

Yao Yun sighed helplessly, and pulled her out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Bai Lu snorted angrily and stomped her feet, suppressed her throat and said unevenly: "Lady, this Sisi girl really has no conscience, if it wasn't for your help last night, how could she have a chance to get grace......

She shook her head and patted her shoulder indifferently: "I'm not angry, what are you angry about!" ”

Yao Yun originally wanted to find Xiao Chengyu to ask for a name for her, so that her life would be more comfortable. Now that she thinks about it, there is no need for her to be so eager and active to help them speak, leaving the two of them to fend for themselves, and they will still come to beg her in the future.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. We have important business today, go and fetch the hat and the purse for me. There are also called Xue Huai and Fourteen. ”

Bai Lu got the order, quickly went back to the house to get something, and went to find Xue Huai and Xiao Fourteen to go out together.

They do have a lot of chores to do today, and the most important thing is to go out of the house to buy goods.

Yao Yun nodded beautifully, today is really a good day to spend money at will! And it's not spending your own money, it's not distressing at all!

Xiao Chengyu had already bathed and changed his clothes, and at this time he was sitting at the desk and reading the official documents newly sent from Chang'an, but he raised his eyes from time to time to look at the door a few more times, and seemed to be a little uneasy.

"Didn't she say come later? Why haven't you come here yet? ”

He looked gloomily at the guard beside him, hoping for a clear answer from him.

Xiao Er's two thick eyebrows were about to cry and twist into a twisted shape, and it was obvious that Du Hu personally drove Yao Niangzi away, why did he come to ask him such a tricky question at this time?

"Du Hu, can my subordinates go and inquire about it right away?"

Xiao Chengyu pursed his lips and hummed reluctantly.

After a while, Xiao Er came back, but his face was embarrassed: "Du Hu, Yao Niangzi led Xue Huai and Fourteen to the city to buy goods, and the maid in the courtyard said that she would probably not be able to return to the house later." ”

Xiao Chengyu snorted sullenly and ignored him no longer.

This Jinmancheng is the most prosperous town within the boundaries of Tingzhou. Although it has been barren for a long time in the past, since returning to the territory of the Great Zhou, compared with the Golden Wheel City bordering Beidi, the surrounding area of this place is still peaceful, and there is an endless stream of merchants and tourists, and it has become more and more prosperous and lively.

The group first came to a silk shop that seemed to be doing a good business.

"Bai Lu, Bai Zhi, you can also go and pick a piece of cloth you like."

Bai Lu and Bai Zhi got her permission and happily chose their favorite patterns and patterns.

Yao Yun was checking out in front of the counter, and the incense burner in front of him was fragrant and leisurely, and the lingering fragrance was lingering, and it was the familiar fragrance of peach blossoms. It seems that there are more and more places where this peach blossom smoke pollen is eroding.

She looked at the shopkeeper Lang Jun in front of her with a smile: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper what kind of incense is this?" It doesn't smell quite the same as the incense powder outside, so it smells good. ”

The shopkeeper only earned a lot of money from the hands of this rich lady, of course, to coax with good words.

"Lady, you should be new to this golden city not long ago, you really have a vision, this is a peach blossom powder that has been very popular in the city recently, and the villain bought it from Jidetang on West Street. This peach blossom powder is burned in this shop, and the business of the shop is much better than before. ”

"Is it really that amazing?" She was curious, but also a little suspicious, and looked at him as if it were real or fake.

"Lady, the villain doesn't dare to tell a lie, this peach blossom powder was also sent to the villain by the people in the Najide Hall first. Later, after a few days, the business of this shop really improved, and there were really more customers who were willing to review and help, so we dared to use it. When you smell it again, do you suddenly feel much more comfortable and refreshed? ”

Yao Yun nodded frequently with a smile, unwilling to stay here any longer, and led the group to leave quickly. It's not a good thing to smell too much!

Xue Huai seemed to suddenly remember something, and whispered in her ear: "Sister Yao, is this peach blossom powder somewhat similar to the tobacco powder in the shopkeeper's pipe?" ”

Yao Yun felt that he had become more and more perceptive and clear recently, and his temperament had become much calmer, and it seemed that he had indeed learned a lot from Xiao Chengyu.

The group continued to browse the rows of shops on both sides of East Street, and there was a small queue of shops in front of them, all of whom were wearing coarse linen clothes, weak figures, withering and weak, and did not know what goods they were selling.

Looking up further, it turned out to be an official shop specializing in salt goods.

Yao Yun remembered that there was a shortage of rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the house, so it was also excellent to buy some. But when she saw the price clearly, her heart suddenly became cold.

The price of each bucket of salt is as high as 300 yuan!

Even in rich and prosperous places like Chang'an and Luoyang, the price of each bucket of salt is only one hundred and twenty yuan!

After the Pingshi Rebellion, in order to make up for the emptiness of the national treasury and solve the financial crisis of the central government, the authorities began to establish a new salt tax law, appointed new salt and iron envoys, and specially promulgated a unified salt monopoly system throughout the country.
