Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C135
Lv Yun pursed her lips: “You came at the perfect time, we are guests in the Garden, didn’t you hear Chang An tell you to properly entertain our shopkeeper? “What do you mean?”
Nan Yang laughed coldly: “Guest? I’ve seen a lot of customers, and it’s the first time I’ve met such a shameless person like your shopkeeper. ”
“Who are you calling shameless!?” Lv Yun’s neck started to turn red, “I think you’re the one who is shameless!”
“Shame? If you have face, how could you not know your identity and use all the methods you have to seduce our seventh grandfather? ” Nan Yang sneered, “A woman like you, if you throw her into a brothel in the north, no one would look down on you!”
“Those men would be fooled by you, but now that you’re in front of me, don’t even think about taking a step further!” Nan Yang said coldly, “Put down the child in your hands, you can go now.”
At this moment, Jin Xiaolou finally understood why she was so hostile towards her since she was not acquainted with her.
So it was all for Gao Lang.
Jin Xiaolou ignored the man, turned and walked away with the child in her arms.
“Halt!” Nan Yang raised her eyebrows, she was extremely angry at Jin Xiaolou’s attitude, and seeing Jin Xiaolou ignoring him, she became even more furious, “I order you to stand!”
Jin Xiaolou did not stop even when she walked out of the garden.
Just as she was about to leave the garden, Lv Yun rolled her eyes at Nan Yang: “Order? We are not your maidservants, why should we listen to you! ”
With that, the two of them did not look back.
Wen Mei moved closer, and said to Nan Yang: “Miss, do you want to call two people to kidnap them?”
Nan Yang looked at the figure that became further and further away, and said while shaking his head: “No need, they still think that the capital is some remote place? Radish and corn are available everywhere? Let them go outside and suffer enough. When the time comes, they’ll come back and beg me while crying! ”
Wen Mei nodded her head: “At that time, I’m afraid that Miss would not go west when she asks them to go east.”
“Hmph, what they seek is nothing more than power and money. I don’t believe that an unmarried woman like her can raise a son by herself. If she spends some money, the child can come back.”
Nan Yang’s eyes flashed, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
On the most bustling streets of the capital, there were rows upon rows of rooftops, with all kinds of businesses available. Jin Xiaolou and Lv Yun were dazzled by the sight, the number of shops here was countless times more than Xin Ning.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians. Businessmen, peddlers with small burdens, family members riding on palanquins, and even storytellers, all of them well-informed.
Jin Xiaolou felt that this level of prosperity far surpassed that of the modern business circles.
What shocked her even more was that there was a sign that said “De’s Shop” hanging from a two-story shop not far from her, and inside it, it was almost exactly the same as her own Mountain Note.
Lv Yun tugged on Jin Xiaolou’s sleeve, and shouted continuously: “Innkeeper’s, Innkeeper’s! Why, why did someone here activate their Mountain Note! ”
Jin Xiaolou nodded helplessly: “The capital is large, it has everything. Presumably, someone had seen Mountain Note before from the Xin Ning, took the lead, and came to an even more bustling and lively world to imitate it, then started a shop.”
In front of the “De’s Shop”, there was an endless stream of customers, and the business was much better than the Mountain Note.
Lv Yun’s heart ached when she saw this. How good would it be if this white, flowery silver could go into the shopkeeper’s pocket?
However, the shopkeeper only had less than ten silver coins with him.
Jin Xiaolou found a tavern with no signboard, she just stuck a wine flag in, ordered some simple food, and planned to fill her stomach before thinking about doing anything else.
Just as she sat down, Lv Yun could not help but ask: “Little brother, your shop is so big, and your business is so good. Renting a shop for a year, you must spend a lot of money, right?”
As the waiter helped them serve the dishes, he sighed and said, “That’s right. At least a thousand taels of silver. If the annual rate is good, it will rise even higher!”
Lv Yun clicked her tongue, and the waiter continued, “This is the first time you two have come back to the capital, right? You want to see the shops in the city? ”
Lv Yun never thought that this waiter’s eyes were so powerful.
Jin Xiaolou was not surprised, the waiters in the big shop were entertaining countless people all day, as long as they were not stupid, they would naturally acquire the abilities of the Fiery Eyes of Truth.
“That’s right, we just came from the Xin Ning, so we wanted to buy some goods from the shop.” Lv Yun answered.
“Hey, when I heard you say that, I immediately became a layman.” The waiter had already served the dishes, but he was in no hurry to leave. He stood to the side and said, “The shops in this lively street are not for sale. They can only be rented. Do you know who owns these stores? Any random words would scare you to death! Furthermore, even if we are to rent, we would only rent acquaintances. For people like you who have never heard of this place before, even if you are rich, it would still be much more difficult to rent a shop than to meet the Emperor! ”
“It’s even harder than meeting the Emperor?” Lv Yun was so scared that her face turned white.
The waiter laughed and casually placed a wine bowl on the table. He poured his hand and filled the bowl with wine, “This bowl of wine is for my two sisters.”
As he spoke, he headed towards the table at the side with the pot in his hand.
“What should I do?” Lv Yun was extremely worried.
After Jin Xiaolou fed the Lin’er well, she had a hearty meal. Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was still enjoying his meal, Lv Yun unconsciously relaxed, and asked: “Innkeeper, do you have an idea?”
Jin Xiaolou shook her head.
The bowl Lv Yun had just picked up was put down again.
Jin Xiaolou continued: “We’ll think of a way when we’re full.
As soon as he finished, he heard the conversation from the next table.
An old man and a young man, both dressed like scholars.
The old man stroked his beard: “I already said that Seventh Prince’s fate could reverse the situation, he’s definitely not an idiot. How about it? Right now, I am certain that not only is he not stupid, he even won a beautiful battle! ”
The younger one hurriedly nodded, “Sir, you’re really a living immortal. Please give me another count, will I hit the jackpot this year?”
The old man closed his eyes and stretched out his hand. The young man quickly took some silver and put it in his hand.
As soon as he put it down, the old man said, “This is the order for the two bags of rice. It doesn’t matter if there’s trouble in the autumn, but you’ll be helped this year by someone else. If you catch it, it will be endless wealth.”
“Noble person? How… “How do we catch them?” The youth’s face was filled with joy and flushed red.
The old man extended his hand again, and the young man hurriedly took the silver and put it in his hand.
The old man slowly said, “Duanyang Day, Tzu En Temple, turn the water bridge down to search for it.”
With that said, no matter how much the youth asked about the noble man’s age, even if it was his gender, the old man would not say another word.
Jin Xiaolou found it funny listening at the side. Since she was asking for a favor, he must have already picked it up, but she did not expect this little rascal to be so superstitious.
But hearing that Gao Lang had won, his heart was at ease.
However, Jin Xiaolou was unable to laugh after a while. Normally, a normal meal would not even cost them one tael of silver, but this meal would cost them five taels.
He did not have much money on him, so he had spent half of the money on this meal.
“Looks like we need to hurry up and find a way to earn money. I originally thought that ten silver would be enough for ten days to half a month, but I didn’t expect that three days wouldn’t be enough for us to eat.” Jin Xiaolou carried Lin’er and walked on the streets.
Lv Yun quickly replied: “Innkeeper, I will go find a job. There are so many restaurants on the streets, I will have to hire maids and servants no matter what, I have been accustomed to this since I was young, so it should be easy to find!”
At the moment, there was no other way out. Even if he wanted to open a restaurant, he would need a capital.
Jin Xiaolou could only nod her head: “Let’s go together.”
The two of them asked around, but none of them were lacking in manpower, and after finally seeing that a family was recruiting, Jin Xiaolou quickly went in to ask.
The accountant looked at Jin Xiaolou, then looked at Lv Yun, seeing two girls carrying a child, he shook his head.
Lv Yun was about to cry: “Sir, I can do anything, I can even give you a place to settle down.”
Hearing this, the accountant narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you guys from outside?”
Lv Yun nodded.
“Then, is there a guarantor?” the accountant asked.
Lv Yun shook her head: “Almsgiver? “What is a guarantor?”
The accountant smiled, “Little girls, which remote area did you come from? What does the grantor not know? To work in the capital, you need someone to recommend you. Otherwise, how would I know your background? How could I dare to use you so easily? If there is no guarantor, no shop would dare to recruit you. ”
“This… “What should we do …” Lv Yun looked at Jin Xiaolou with red eyes.
Jin Xiaolou had not said anything when the accountant hesitated for a moment, then said: “That’s not right, there are some that do not need to be protected, and since you can do anything, you can try.”
Lv Yun was overjoyed: “Really? “That’s great. May I ask which ones do not need a guarantor?”
The accountant pointed out, “Look, have you seen the alley across the street? Go straight down that alley, cross a river, and that’s where the other side goes along the river. ”
On Xuanwu Street, north of WeChat Lane, in Ji Luo’s manor, the Minister of Revenue.
“Look, look!” A well-dressed woman with a head full of hair turned around and sat down at the desk.
Her figure was slightly plump, and her face was full of wealth. At this moment, her eyebrows were raised slightly, and her almond eyes were slightly opened. She had a resentful expression on her face.
“I told you earlier that you would not be willing to die until you have settled the marriage between you and that Seventh Prince. Do you find him stupid? “I think the one who is being foolish is you!”
The woman pointed at the forehead of the woman who was sitting in front of the table.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She impatiently waved away her mother’s hand and said, “Aiya, what’s the big deal! Besides, how could that idiot be able to cure it so easily? Who knows when he might do it again! “I don’t think anyone would want to marry him in the entire capital!”
“Oh, my silly daughter, the news has spread! Not only has Seventh Prince cured his silly disease, he has also caused a great loss to the South Yi s. The Emperor was so happy that he got up and got off the bed! ” “The current crown prince is too despicable, and his background in the Fifth Prince is also low. This good future of his will definitely become something big!”
Seeing that the woman still didn’t seem to care at all, the woman knocked on the table anxiously.
“You know, the person next door at Assistant Minister Zhu’s house brought her little daughter to the palace early this morning to meet the empress!”
