Back at Luo's house, Zhan Qingxiao remembered Bai Zhi's mother and daughter, she hadn't asked before, they should have come with her, right?

So he asked Zhan Qingyun: "By the way, eldest brother, did Bai Zhi's mother and daughter come with you?"

"Oh! I forgot to tell you, on our way back to Pinggang City, maybe it was a tiring journey, and Bai Pinghua was infected with the wind and cold, and has passed away. And Miss Bai Zhi, she ......" Zhan Qingyun said with some hesitation.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Zhan Qingxiao nervously. Bai Zhi is the first woman he met who has the life of the emperor phoenix, and she can become the lord of heaven and earth in the future, maybe it will help her, but she can't let her have an accident.

"Don't worry, Qingxiao, Bai Pinghua died of illness in Changning City, less than a hundred miles away from Pinggang City, and she was hastily buried outside Changning City, we were in a hurry to return to Pinggang City, and Miss Bai Zhi was unwilling to leave Bai Pinghua's mausoleum, so we gave her some silver, and let her live in a small town outside Changning City. I originally thought that when Luo Tianxin settled down, I would go over to find her, but as soon as I came over, I was busy with the matter of the fish patrol and forgot about her. Zhan Qingyun said.

"Big brother, Jin Yulou and my two apprentices, you help me take care of Xiaohu and them, I'll go and pick up Bai Zhi first!" Zhan Qingxiao thought for a while and said.

"Are you going to go now? I see you're tired, why don't you rest for two days first?" Or should I pick up Miss Bai Zhi?"

"No need, Luo Tianxin's fish patrol is not over yet, you stay and help him. ”

Changning City is more than 100 miles away from Pinggang City, this city is like its name, very peaceful, different from other cities, this is a trading city, here in Pinggang City before it officially became a city, it has been a place to do business.

Bai Zhi lives in a town not far from Changning City, she has been living here for a month or two, and the silver given by Luo Tianxin is almost used up.

She is a weak woman, living alone, deaf and dumb, and unable to communicate with others. And she wasn't familiar with it, unlike in Goufu Alley, where there were some acquaintances.

On this day, she was in town and ate a bowl of noodles as usual. She was going to go to the cloth shop, buy some cloth, and do some needlework. Otherwise, she would not have been able to make ends meet.

When she came to the cloth shop, she pointed to a roll of cloth, gestured with her hand, and motioned for the shopkeeper to ask for the roll of cloth herself.

The shopkeeper hadn't made a single business today, and he was very bored, and when he saw that someone had finally come to buy cloth, he immediately came to his senses.

The shopkeeper saw that she was babbling without uttering a complete sentence, and knew that she could not speak, so he took off the roll of cloth from her finger and asked, "Does the girl want this cloth?"

She pulled out her small purse, then took out a small piece of broken silver, placed it on the counter, and looked at the shopkeeper with blinking eyes, as if asking, "Is this enough?"

The shopkeeper shook her head, and she took out another small piece of silver, which she placed on the counter, and looked at the shopkeeper with watery eyes.

The shopkeeper shook his head, meaning that these were not enough, although he was smiling, but at this time he was already scolding in his heart: "It's really unlucky, there are no customers all morning, and finally one is deaf and dumb!"

"Little girl, do you have the intention of entertaining me? Not to mention the few pieces of silver you put away, even if you give me all the silver in your hand, it will be a difference of 108,000 miles!" said the shopkeeper angrily, and with a flick of his hand, the broken silver on the table was thrown to the ground.

Bai Zhi didn't know why, the shopkeeper who was smiling just now was suddenly so angry, as if he had changed his face.

The silver was thrown to the ground, Bai Zhi hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and the shopkeeper snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I care about any money! I am deaf and dumb poor ghost! Seeing that you are dressed quite well, I think you have money, and I don't think about it, just a little silver." How dare you come to me to buy cloth!

Bai Zhi didn't know what to do, and after picking up the silver, she pointed to the roll of cloth that the shopkeeper had just put down, pointed to the roll of cloth, and babbled.

"Go, go, go, you poor devil, don't waste Lao Tzu's time!" said the shopkeeper impatiently, waving his hand.

At this moment, a very beneficially dressed woman walked in, and the shopkeeper saw her at a glance, and recognized her as the girl from the town's "Hundred Flowers Building", and he had patronized her before.

So with a smile on his face, he said to the woman, "Oh! Miss Huixin, why did you come to my cloth village today?"

Before the woman named Huixin entered the door, she heard the scolding of Bai Zhi from the previous shop owner, and when she saw Bai Zhi, she was shocked by Bai Zhi's youthful appearance.

So he asked, "Boss Liu, why are you so angry?"

"Miss Huixin, don't you know that this deaf and dumb little girl wants to come to me to buy cloth, but she has brought so many taels of silver. Isn't she entertaining me?" said the shopkeeper with an unhappy face, and then asked, "Is Miss Huixin going to buy cloth?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Huixin's eyes rolled and he said in his heart: "Recently, Young Master Hou has become more and more difficult to serve, and he always says that he likes young and untrained little girls. The old lady tried her best to serve him. This little girl looks very good, and she will definitely be able to win the favor of Young Master Hou! This girl is deaf and dumb, but she came to buy cloth alone, so she must not have any big deal. Why don't you trick her into going to Baihualou?"

As soon as she thought of this, she had served a deaf and dumb benefactor before, knew some sign language, and knew how to communicate with deaf people. So he said to the shopkeeper: "Boss Liu, don't be angry first, I'll communicate with her and see what she wants to do?"

So Huixin made a gesture, and this sign language meant to ask, "Girl, do you want to buy cloth?"

Bai Zhi was overjoyed to see that the woman who entered the door actually knew how to communicate with her in sign language, so she responded in sign language: "I want to buy his roll of cloth, but he won't sell it to me!"

Huixin responded with a gesture: "It's okay, I'll help you ask." ”

So he pretended to point to the roll of cloth that Bai Zhi was looking at, and asked the shopkeeper: "Boss Liu, does that girl want to buy your roll of cloth, how much silver?"

"Miss Huixin, she doesn't have any silver, this roll of cloth is sewn from the fine lion jade silk of the Beize Forest, at least twenty taels!" replied the shopkeeper.

So, Huixin used gestures to tell Bai Zhi the price of this roll of cloth. Bai Zhi was disappointed when she heard this, it turned out that this roll of cloth was so expensive, and the silver she brought was only seven or eight taels, and she couldn't afford it at all. She only has one hundred taels of silver tickets left now plus these broken silver, and even if she makes something of such an expensive cloth, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell it.

So she thanked Hui Xin, turned around and walked outside.

Where would Huixin let her leave like this, so she chased after her. When the shopkeeper saw Huixin chasing after him, he shouted, "Miss Huixin, why don't you buy cloth?" Otherwise, you can go to the back hall with me to learn from each other, and I can give you one or two more pieces of cloth!"

Huixin ignored him, didn't look back, caught up with Bai Zhi, stopped her, and then said to her in sign language: "Girl, if you want to buy cloth, I know that there is a cheap place." ”

Bai Zhi also came to this town not long ago, and she was not familiar with people, and when she heard her say this, her eyes lit up, thinking that she had met a kind person, and the most important thing was that this "kind person" could also communicate with her in sign language.

So he responded excitedly: "Sister, can you take me over?"

Of course, Huixin nodded, she had already decided to trick Bai Zhi into going to Baihualou, so she took Bai Zhi to a cloth shop.

Along the way, she asked about Bai Zhi and learned that she had recently lived in this town because of her mother's filial piety, and she didn't have any relatives or friends.

Hui Xinxin said: "God help me! This little girl is naturally beautiful, but she hasn't dressed up well! If you dress her up a little, she will definitely be liked by Young Master Hou, and at that time, Young Master Hou will be happy, and the silver will not be able to reward me in an uproar! Haha!"

At the thought of this, her heart was filled with joy, and she took her to a cloth shop. This shop is a civilian cloth shop, and the fabric inside is naturally not a high-quality fabric. She would not normally come here to buy cloth.

With a hint of disgust in her heart, she took Bai Zhi into this cloth shop, and as soon as she entered the door, she said: "Shopkeeper, if this little girl falls in love with any roll of cloth, you will say one or two pieces of silver." I'll make it up to you!"

So she asked Bai Zhi to start choosing fabrics, but she was thinking about how to trick Bai Zhi into Baihualou.

In the end, Bai Zhi chose two pieces of cloth, and the shopkeeper also asked Bai Zhi to pay two taels of silver. And Huixin also picked a roll of cloth at random, and then asked, "How much silver?"

"Girl, your roll of cloth is four taels of silver, and this little girl has chosen a horse of three taels of silver, and a horse of two taels of silver. If you make up the difference, you can give a total of seven taels of silver!" replied the shopkeeper.

"Ten taels of silver, the more will be rewarded to you!" Huixin put down an ingot of ten taels of silver, and then pulled Bai Zhi and walked out of the cloth shop.

Subsequently, on the pretext of exchanging needlework together, she invited Bai Zhi to her home as a guest.

Bai Zhi saw that she had helped her a lot, so she didn't doubt him and followed her to "her house".

Soon, they came to Baihualou. As soon as she arrived, Bai Zhi frowned, she was born in Goufu Lane, there were green buildings everywhere, how could she not know that this Baihua Building was a green building.

So he hesitated and made a gesture, meaning to ask, "Sister, why did you bring me to the Qinglou?"

They had already arrived at the door, and Huixin naturally wouldn't let her leave easily, so she pretended to be unhappy and replied in sign language: "What?

Bai Zhi saw that she had said this, and she was still unhappy, after all, Huixin had "helped" her a lot, so she had to nod and follow Huixin in.

Hui Xin smiled at this time, then took Bai Zhi's hand and led her in. When he entered the door, he whispered to the turtle who was guarding the door: "Send someone to inform Hou Gongzi to come over to play." ”
