Xia Minmin suddenly turned around and saw a middle-aged woman with a decent appearance smiling kindly at her.
The woman was dressed in brocade and silk, exuding elegance and nobility.
This kind attitude was completely different from the snobbish look of the pastry stall owner earlier.
The gentle tone was very kind, as if they already knew each other.
Xia Minmin pointed to her nose, somewhat uncertainly, and said, "Auntie, are you talking to me?"
The woman nodded. "Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Xia Minmin shook her head, subconsciously reaching for her pocket.
Suddenly, she froze on the spot.
Where's the money?
She had just been thinking that Baiyang was a good place, but now she realized that Baiyang City was not good at all.
Ultimately, it's because I was too stupid.
"Young lady, what's wrong?" the old woman asked gently.
"I'm fine." Xia Minmin felt extremely distressed; that was more than an ounce of silver.
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became.
In their household, one or two taels of silver can accomplish a great deal.
"You said you were fine, but look at you, your eyes are all red."
"Really?" At home, Xia Minmin is a strong older sister. She always has a smiling face in front of her family. When will she ever have tears in her eyes?
The woman in front of me is definitely joking.
“Of course there is.” The woman stepped forward and continued, “Girl, you are still young and do not understand the dangers of this world. When you go out in the future, you must be more careful.”
Xia Minmin nodded, thinking to herself that she was no longer a child.
As she looked up, she saw several beautiful women pass by, and she couldn't help but stare at them a few more times.
Looking at her own coarse linen clothes one last time, she sighed and decided to stop looking and go back.
Just as she was about to turn around, the woman called out to her.
"Young lady," the woman said, glancing at a two-story building not far away.
It is named Zuixiangju (Drunken Fragrance Residence).
"I guess you came to Baiyang to earn some money to supplement your family's income."
To make some money? It has to be said that these four words deeply attracted Xia Minmin.
The one tael of silver that Qiu Yan had given her was stolen by that despicable thief.
Xia Minmin followed the woman's gaze and looked towards Zuixiangju in front of her.
The girls at the entrance were all beautiful, talented in singing and dancing, and possessed a unique elegance.
They look really beautiful.
Xia Minmin thought to herself, "The small building in front must be a place frequented by daughters of noble families."
She shook her head at the woman. "You've misunderstood." She had come out to find her relatives. "I'll be going now. You continue with your work."
"No rush." The woman quickened her pace and walked alongside Xia Minmin. "That Zuixiangju restaurant up ahead is mine. They're hiring all year round. If you want to make money, I'll take you there."
As the woman spoke, she glanced at the small building in front of her. To further entice Xia Minmin, she added, "At least this amount each month."
As she spoke, she held up a pair of fingers.
Xia Minmin: "One tael?" She realized that the woman in front of her was no ordinary person. That shop, too, looked anything but simple.
The woman shook her head. "Who would go for one tael? At least ten taels."
"Ten...taels?" Xia Minmin gasped. She never dreamed that she could earn ten taels of silver in a month.
Thinking about it this way, she could find a wife for her younger brother in just one month.
However, she was somewhat skeptical, "What kind of work could I do?"
"It's not difficult. Anyone can do it if they're willing to learn. I'm only saying this to you because I feel a connection with you."
Xia Minmin hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm just a country girl, so forget it."
