Chapter 290 Are we strangers?

One step, two steps, three steps. When Chen Yu saw the servant waiting at the door, the breath in his chest deflated and his movements became slower and slower.

The clothes worn by the welcoming servant were made of silk and satin, which was much more expensive than the one she was wearing.

Just when he was feeling timid, his eyes met that of the servant.

Chen Yu hurriedly stopped, his feet rubbing against the stone steps, feeling uncomfortable all over.

But the next moment, the servant smiled.

It is not dazzling, but there is no sarcasm in it either. To put it simply, it makes people feel very comfortable and clean.

"Would you like to come in and take a look?"

The owner of Qizhen Pavilion repeatedly emphasized during the training that apart from the fixed requirements for each level, everyone should be treated equally.

It is said that this is the boss's rule, how dare they disobey it, as they have already memorized it.

The monthly salary at Qizhen Pavilion is twice as high as that of other shops, and there is also a commission for completing transactions, so the requirements are naturally extremely high.

Outstanding appearance is not important, but at least the person should be pleasant to look at and have good eloquence and be able to coax customers.

The young servant could see that the girl outside was probably short of money, and he immediately remembered the words his shopkeeper always said:

Just because you can’t afford it now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to afford it in your lifetime.

This concept was naturally instilled by Qin Zhaoyue, the boss behind the scenes. She learned some stuff from Donglai and Di Lao.

Although she was bound to be unable to adapt to the local climate, who would dare to make trouble in her territory? Aren't they afraid that this notorious princess would go crazy?

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This was completely different from what she had imagined.

It was a seven-story tower. Just one look inside gave her a feeling of being extremely expensive and oppressive. However, the servant didn't look down on her at all.

Thinking of the "big thing" in his heart, Chen Yu secretly stretched the corner of his clothes, as if trying to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes, and finally stepped into the Qizhen Pavilion.

"I have something important I'd like to ask you for help with..."

Chen Yu's appearance naturally attracted attention. After all, people who visited their shop were generally rich or noble.

From the guest's clothes and appearance, it can be seen that he does not look like he can afford to buy any of the items in the pavilion.

The servant didn't expect that the girl was looking for the manager of his family. After asking, he found that they didn't seem to know each other.

"Please help me, brother. This is really a serious matter."

In a corner, the breeze heard the whispered instructions.

Because Suimo and her Mo Group completely joined the Sixth Princess's Mansion, the positions of Qingfeng and Xiyu became very awkward.

Not only can't beat them, but it's also inconvenient for men to move around in the inner house.

In addition, the goods in Qizhen Pavilion were valuable, so Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand and arranged for the two brothers to come over.

They had no complaints, as they had good food and drink, received a good monthly salary, and the work was easy.

Seeing the servant hesitate, Chen Yu gritted his teeth, tried to get closer and spoke in a quieter voice:

"I am a candidate for this year's examination and have the title of Scholar. Please trust me once!"

Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and approached casually, "Miss, please follow me."

Seeing that the servant was very respectful to the man, even though he felt that he was too young to be the shopkeeper, he still followed him.

Soon, the two came to a quiet room.

"Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Yu exhaled, "I heard that this place was once called the Number One Building Under Heaven, and it was owned by His Highness the Sixth Prince.

I'd like to ask, are you still connected to the Sixth Prince?"

Qingfeng looked at the other person quietly, and found that he was coming towards the prince.

The atmosphere in the quiet room suddenly became tense. Chen Yu's trip was like a gamble.

This was the only way she could think of to get in touch with the powerful. After seeing the Qizhen Pavilion with her own eyes, she was even more convinced that the person who could buy this tower was definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, it is speculated that there must be a connection between the two parties.

The breeze is silent, but it exerts invisible pressure.

You can see that the other party is very nervous, but he never backs down.

"What is your purpose in visiting the Sixth Prince?"

There's a chance! If there's no connection, they should be driven away directly.

"This is a matter of great importance. I must discuss this with His Highness the Sixth Prince in person."

Qingfeng frowned. If it were an ordinary noble, he wouldn't be able to meet him just because he wanted to. But his master was unusual...

Considering the strength of the many guards in the mansion now, I don't think anything will happen.

So he discussed with Xiyu and asked him to go back home first to pass on the message, and then he would drive Chen Yu slowly.

Chen Yu sat upright in the carriage and still felt a little dizzy.

When she asked where they were going, the other party directly asked her, "Aren't you going to see the princess?"

He's a royal noble, how can we... see him so easily?

Listening to the commotion outside the carriage, I realized I was walking on the main road, and I felt a little relieved.

Even though Qingfeng deliberately slowed down his pace, it took him two quarters of an hour to arrive.

"Girl, please."

Chen Yu never dreamed that she would actually enter the princess's mansion.

She didn't dare to look at him carelessly, but kept her head down and followed him all the way to the middle hall.

It was already afternoon, and Qin Zhaoyue had planned to take a rest after lunch.

Throughout the morning, sporadic merit points would be added to the merit book.

Although the amount of each transaction is not large, it has been increasing.

I was so happy that I drank two taels of osmanthus wine at noon, which was just the right level of being tipsy.

At this time, Xiyu returned home and said that a candidate for this year's exam insisted on seeing her, but was mysterious and refused to tell her what it was.

Given her reputation, the possibility of her coming to seek refuge is very small.

Well, not very little, but nothing.

What kind of people were those scholars that were recruited during the days of Tianxia Diyilou? They were the kind of people that couldn’t even pass the test for boys.

She was able to take part in the provincial examination and was at least a scholar. Why shouldn't she be the one to turn to?

Qin Zhaoyue became interested. He was free anyway, and he had the protection of the master Yinzhe by his side, so he waved his hand and agreed.

Chen Yu didn't dare to cross the threshold of the central hall and saluted outside the door.

It was not a formal ceremony, but a solemn bow. "Student Chen Yu pays homage to His Highness the Sixth Prince."

"No need to be polite, just come closer."

"yes."

Chen Yu held her breath, but she actually felt relieved when she finally got to see the Sixth Princess. She was no longer as anxious as when she first came.

When he got closer, he looked up and then stood there in a daze.

Qin Zhaoyue was still dressed in the same outfit that she used to charm a certain silly top scholar. How should I put it, she was incredibly beautiful.

Chen Yu had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. She was noble yet lazy, and he could even smell a faint scent of alcohol when he raised his nose.

It's not a bad taste, but has a sweet and osmanthus fragrance.

Qin Zhaoyue curled up the corners of her mouth quietly: Look, this charm of mine that has nowhere to go.

"Chen Yu, right? You've seen him now, so just tell me what you want to say."

Chen Yu suddenly woke up and quickly lowered his eyes. Two blushes quietly crept onto his thin cheeks.

"This is a matter of great importance. Please... please ask Your Highness to withdraw your attendants."

Qin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and said to the door: "Hey, you two, go out."

Gentle breeze and drizzle: ...

No, what's the matter?

They have been following the princess since she left the palace to set up her own residence. After all these years, have they become outsiders?

Suimo and Mozu are still in class! Hey! How long have they been here?

"yes!"

Since the master had given the order, what else could the two brothers do? They gritted their teeth, obeyed, bowed, and retreated.

But that resentment seemed to linger at the door, lingering for a long time...
