But at this time, the imperial capital of Lizhou became lively, mostly because of the arrival of several important figures from the four states.
The four streets in the east, south, west and north of the imperial capital were all crowded with people. People passed by one after another, laughing, talking, joking and cursing, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
If you want to be lively, the North Street of the Common People's Market is the most lively.
North Street was known as the Common People's Market because the North Gate was inhabited by common people. All of Lizhou's common people gathered here, with nearly half of Lizhou's wealthy families living at the South Gate. The most prosperous East Gate was home to the residences of many court officials, while the West Gate was the most chaotic, housing a mixed crowd.
If we talk about North Street, the most famous and bustling place is undoubtedly the Anxiang Tower.
Today, Anxiang Tower welcomed two distinguished guests, both of whom are people who should not be provoked.
If it were any other time, Ai Fei Ai, the steward, would have been grinning from ear to ear. But now was different. These two people had come to her Anxiang Tower for one person: the alluring young master Xue Zhao.
In the Anxiang Tower, in Suju's room.
Ai Fei looked at Su Ju with a worried look on his face and asked again and again: "Is there really no way you can find Xue Zhao?"
Su Ju sat at the table, looking at Ai Fei with a worried look on his face. She showed a hint of apology on her face, but she was laughing in her heart. She didn't expect that Manager Ai, who usually remained calm in the face of a mountain collapse in front of them, would be so helpless.
"Really not. You know, it's always Master Xue Zhao who comes to see Su Ju." Su Ju said she was powerless to help Ai Fei.
Ai Fei glanced at Su Ju, remained silent for a long time, and after hesitating for a while, he suddenly cheered up and said with a desperate look, "Forget it!"
After leaving Su Ju's room, Ai Fei went to a private room on the third floor. Two serious-looking guards stood outside the room, each with a long sword hanging from their waists. The two guards' hands were lightly grasped on the hilt of the sword, and the long sword would be unsheathed at the slightest movement.
The translucent four-season embroidered screen blocks the person sitting in the private room, and only a tall figure can be vaguely seen.
Ai Fei stood outside the screen, looking in. After taking a deep breath, he whispered, "Sir, Xue Zhao hasn't been to my Anxiang Tower recently, and he didn't leave any address."
After Ai Fei finished speaking, he stood quietly there, waiting for the other party's response. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the other side.
Just when Ai Fei thought the other party would not reply to her, a low and indifferent voice came out: "It's okay, I'll wait for her."
"Huh?" Ai Fei's face froze when he heard this. No, this gentleman still isn't leaving? Although this gentleman looks like a man, his stern face and the cold air he exudes have already scared away many of her customers. When people come, they always look for Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao hasn't been to Anxianglou for a long time. Who knows when Xue Zhao will come?
This gentleman was so good that he insisted that she find a way to find someone. In Anxiang Tower, except for Su Ju and Xue Zhao, who had some friendship, the other girls hardly talked to Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao was tight-lipped and never told Su Ju about the situation at home.
In fact, Ai Fei had suspected many times that Xue Zhao was not a man, but he had never had the chance to confirm it. It was simply because Xue Zhao was too good-looking, a beauty beyond that of a man, with fair and delicate skin, and a more delicate frame than that of an average man, like a frail scholar.
If it weren't for Su Ju's words, "I am already Master Xue Zhao's woman," Ai Fei would definitely have held on to Xue Zhao. That guy is really too effeminate!
