Chapter 323 Where is she swimming?
"The city gates are closed, and those on the road have nowhere to stay, so they can only harass the residents outside.
However, the owner of the manor outside the imperial capital also responded to this situation by simply not opening the door.
But it's definitely better here than other places.
If anyone dares to rob or injure anyone, they can report it to the soldiers guarding the city." Ma Weiwei explained the situation to Sister Xiaoxi.
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi understood. Even if someone else passed by here, at most they would be knocked on the door a few times. Because there were soldiers at the city gate, they would not dare to act recklessly. This was much better than Lecheng.
"What if it's outside these nearby cities?" she asked again.
"They're all about the same!" Ma Weiwei nodded.
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and decided to wait and see what the situation is in the imperial capital tomorrow. Moreover, even if the distance between the two sides is not too far, the price difference between the two sides is probably quite large.
"Let's wait until we get to the imperial capital to take a look?" she said lazily.
"Are we going tomorrow?" Ma Weiwei looked excited.
Gu Xiaoxi replied without much thought: "Let's go tomorrow. Go early and come back early so that my family won't worry about me."
"There are many places here you haven't been to, why don't you stay a few more days?" Ma Weiwei thought that since she was here, she might as well take a look around.
hehe……
Gu Xiaoxi smiled helplessly: "Don't forget, there is a Zhong Manman here, where can we swim with her?"
Hehehe…
Ma Weiwei also laughed after hearing this.
…
The next day, they planned to leave the city as soon as it was dawn. Unexpectedly, although Zhong Manman was a little unruly, he was quite smart and had been waiting at the city gate early in the morning.
"Weiwei, come quickly, I'm here!" She shouted loudly when she saw Ma Weiwei while sitting in the carriage.
Gu Xiaoxi and Ma Weiwei felt a little headache, but since they were called, Ma Weiwei had to go.
"Then you follow her carriage and we'll go first. I'll come to see you when I'm done with my work. If not, you'll have to wait until next time." Gu Xiaoxi couldn't let Ma Weiwei's appearance affect her schedule.
Ma Weiwei knew that Sister Xiaoxi was worried about her family, and that only by finding a good place to settle down as soon as possible could she truly solve the problem.
"Okay, be careful on your way." She agreed immediately.
Gu Xiaoxi was pleased with Ma Weiwei's understanding. After watching her get on Zhong Manman's carriage, she asked Ying San to drive the carriage away.
Ma Weiwei got on the carriage and started talking to Zhong Manman. By the time Zhong Manman came to her senses and lifted the curtain to look at Gu Xiaoxi's carriage, the carriage had already left the city.
"Weiwei, you did this on purpose. You don't want me to learn any skills from your master, right?" Zhong Manman looked at Ma Weiwei angrily.
Ma Weiwei smiled calmly and replied, "Manman, my master is here for urgent matters. How are you going to get things done with her?"
"What's the matter? Can we help her?" Zhong Manman asked anxiously.
"I don't know. Master didn't tell me." Ma Weiwei would not tell Zhong Manman any clues. Even if she wanted to help, it would only be her and Chen Qinian who would help.
snort!
Zhong Manman snorted coldly and angrily asked Ma Weiwei to get out of the car.
Ma Weiwei was not angry either, she was waiting for Zhong Manman to say this.
She got off the crowded carriage and got on her own carriage, then drove it back to where she lived.
However, after returning, she sent someone to deliver a message to Chen Qinian, letting him know that Sister Xiaoxi had arrived.
However, Zhong Manman didn't believe that Ma Weiwei would not go with her master after not seeing him for such a long time, so he asked someone to wait at Ma Weiwei's residence to see when Ma Weiwei would go to the imperial capital.
In the end, Ma Weiwei really didn't leave, because she had known Zhong Manman for so many years and knew how clever he was.
On the other side, Gu Xiaoxi and her companions drove the carriage out of the city. In order to see the surrounding situation more clearly, she and Ying Liu drove the carriage.
The carriage was moving very slowly on this stretch of road. While driving, Ying Liu introduced the surrounding scenery and special places to Gu Xiaoxi.
"It's really a prosperous place. We have been walking for almost half an hour, and there are so many inns and shops on the roadside." Gu Xiaoxi felt that this was really a prosperous place, and the shops on both sides of the road gave people a very good feeling.
If she also opened a shop on the roadside, her business would probably not be bad either.
They walked slowly towards the imperial capital. When they saw a shop that interested them, Gu Xiaoxi would ask Yingliu to stop the carriage so she could go in and take a look.
When she arrived at the gate of the imperial capital, she found that almost all the shops she passed by had the same business except for silver shops and money houses.
This suddenly made her think of a way to manage the situation, so she asked, "Is there a curfew in the imperial capital?"
"Unless there are special circumstances, there is usually no curfew." Ying Liu replied.
Hearing that there was no curfew, Gu Xiaoxi murmured to himself, "If there were no curfew, and there were soldiers guarding the city gates, I could open a barbecue restaurant, and I guess business would be good.
After all, people outside the city don’t have much to eat at night.”
"What is a barbecue restaurant?" Yingliu didn't quite understand what it was?
Gu Xiaoxi explained, "It's a place that sells grilled skewers and fish after dark, but you have to find a location near the city gate. Only where there are many soldiers and officers can this business be done well."
"This is a good idea. It's safe here." Yingliu thought it was a good idea.
Ying San frowned. It was even more difficult to find such a place. After all, the good places had been bought by rich people.
Even if the master is not short of money, it is not easy to find a good place.
He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud, for fear that the girl would give up.
"Girl, we're already at the city gate. Why don't you go in and take a look?" Yingliu suggested.
"Okay, if I want to buy a farm, I have to find a broker anyway." Gu Xiaoxi thought there was nothing wrong with it.
The imperial capital is very big, so there are naturally many pawnshops. Fortunately, Yingliu and Yingsan often go out on errands, and they know some of the pawnshops.
After they entered the city, they found a familiar pawnshop. Ying Liu invited the owner to the teahouse for tea and asked him in detail about the situation outside the imperial capital.
The person who came was Manager Ning from Tianmei Dental Clinic. Manager Ning had a very good relationship with Yingliu. Knowing that it was Yingliu who came, he handed over the things at hand to other people and followed them out.
"Brother Yingliu, are you planning to buy land?" Manager Ning looked at Yingliu with a smile on his face.
"It's not me who is buying the land, it's Mr. Gu, a friend of my master, who wants to buy the land, so I want to ask you about the price of the land." Ying Liu said and looked at Gu Xiaoxi.
"Greetings, Mr. Gu!" Manager Ning bowed.
Gu Xiaoxi poured a cup of tea for Manager Ning and then asked, "I'd like to ask what the current price of land outside the city is?"
"Which door are you asking about, sir? The price outside each door is different." asked Manager Ning.
Gu Xiaoxi looked at Yingliu in confusion, as Yingliu had not explained these things clearly before.
