Chapter 1134 Apologize to the Queen!
After leaving the palace, Maomao walked neither hurried nor slow.
It was the first time for her to leave the palace where she had been born and lived till now. The little black cat in the bag poked its head out and looked around with its amber eyes, meowing from time to time.
Maomao bought a piece of naan and ate it, occasionally tearing off some for the kitten in the bag.
Although the kitten is not picky about food, when the cat sees the kitten looking at the stalls selling meat, it walks towards that stall.
Cats don’t like eating meat that much, or they are not used to it.
After all, Mother Zhang is not that rich. Even though her sisters can make money, it is not easy to eat meat every day. They can only eat it during festivals.
Cats themselves don’t have such a strong desire for food, but they are very obsessed with taking medicinal herbs. Over time, they become indifferent to meat.
I will only eat a few more bites if the food is extremely delicious.
There happened to be a carriage parked at this chicken stall when Maomao came over. Just as she approached the carriage, she could smell the scent of rouge, which was a medium-priced type of lip balm.
Only people with some money can afford it.
Maomao didn't look at the curtain, but when a little girl jumped out of the carriage, Maomao saw the girl's clothes.
At just one glance, she recognized that she was a maid from Qinghuaju in Huajie.
Look again at the jade-like arms stretched out from the curtain of the car, and that somewhat charming voice.
Maomao knew that it must be the prostitute who went to some mansion to spend the night.
After all, there are women who sell their bodies and those who don't in the red-light district. Women who sell their bodies don't mean they are inferior to the courtesans. It's just that their reputations are not as good as those women, so they rarely appear in front of people.
But some women with excellent looks, figures, and sexual skills could be priced at a thousand taels of silver a night.
Those women with extremely good looks but who are not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dancing or reciting poetry often end up taking this path.
But it also allows him to redeem himself as soon as possible, so that he can leave and go to a place where no one knows him.
Maomao is familiar with this not because of the environment she grew up in, but because when they couldn't get any dancing jobs, several mothers in the red-light district wanted to buy their sisters and make them prostitutes like this.
But they were all stopped by Zhang's mother.
Later I found out that the reason they couldn't get any work was because these mothers had long been eyeing the older sisters, so they teamed up to do such things.
However, the matter was later dropped, and the dance troupe began to take on work again. Although they still lived in poverty, they were not to the point of not having enough to eat.
Maomao was still young at that time, but she heard from her sisters that Mother Zhang found the strange man who often came near their house, and it was that man who solved the matter.
And after that, all the people who had their eyes on the sisters disappeared.
Although Maomao knew that Zhang's mother was looking for Cui Yu.
But I don't mean to blame him. After all, at that time, I could only go to him. If it were a cat, I would also go to find him.
What's more
Compared to Maomao, he dislikes Cui Yu.
Maomao knew very well that Mother Zhang hated Cui Yu more, after all, he was a man who abandoned his wife and daughter.
Even though the man was unaware of the situation at the time and tried his best to make amends, he was still a very irresponsible man who made mistakes, and Mother Zhang hated such men to the extreme.
After all, she was abandoned by such a man.
And it is Zhang's mother who is uncomfortable when she has to find a man she hates and ask him for help.
The maid noticed the cat when she got off the carriage to pay. When she saw the cat's small handbag, she saw the kitten sticking its head out, and her eyes immediately lit up.
When Maomao saw this, he didn't say anything. He just walked up to the girl and didn't talk to her. Instead, he asked the store owner for what he wanted.
The maid looked at the kitten with a look of joy on her face.
She wanted to reach out and touch it, but looked at the cat timidly. However, she noticed that the cat nodded, so the little maid immediately reached out and touched the kitten.
Maomao looked at the girl, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
When the maid left, she bowed to the cat and was very happy.
The cat took the chicken, tearing off some for himself while feeding the kitten in the bag.
But after eating a few bites, Maomao looked down at the kitten who was eating with gusto and said, "It's not as delicious as Su Changan's."
The black market in Luoan City is actually called the Ghost Market.
As the name suggests, the businesses there are all run by people of unknown origin, but basically you can buy whatever you want there.
As far as Maomao knows, the ghost market in the past was much more exaggerated than it is now.
But since the campaign against organized crime began, the buying and selling of children or women in the ghost market has disappeared.
Those who did business in the ghost market were all taken to Qingpingfang by Yang Guofu and Luo Anxu.
Among them were many shady people and some who used to be members of street gangs. Fortunately, Yang Guofu and Luo Anxu did not kill them all, and left some for them to eat.
Therefore, the Ghost Market can be said to be a place where the imperial court turned a blind eye.
Information, some things that cannot be sold openly, etc. are all available here.
However, since the ghost market was run by the ghost killer in Qingpingfang, the government officials left and the ghost market has become more disciplined since the ghost killer took over.
Some people are unwilling to listen to the ghostwriter, or break the rules and disappear.
But even so, ordinary people still dare not approach Qingpingfang.
However, the place Maomao is going to when he leaves the palace today is the ghost market in Qingpingfang!
This was not the first time that Maomao came here, so she was familiar with the place. There were more residential areas in Qingpingfang, but the streets and alleys in the market were much narrower than other places.
Perhaps because there were too many people living on the roof, almost every household had clothes and bed sheets drying on them. As a result, as soon as you walked into Qingpingfang, it suddenly became dark.
All kinds of messy goods were crowded on both sides of the narrow street. The vendors were from Daxia and some from the Western Regions. Some wore masks, while others just sat cross-legged and stared at every passerby.
If a weak little girl was looked at like a cat, and walked like this in the ghost market in the past, she would be targeted just by appearing at the entrance of the ghost market, let alone stepping in.
But in today's ghost market, many people just look at the cats, and no one dares to have any bad thoughts.
Maomao looked at the ghost market. Although the last time he came here was before going to Yandi, he was a little surprised when he saw the place now, because it was much cleaner!
Even though there are still prostitutes hawking their wares on the roadside or on the second floor, and people who look very strange and sell unknown things, as well as vicious and ferocious gangsters.
But at least it's a lot cleaner and seems a little more orderly.
only
Maomao's face became serious. It was so clean, the store should still be there!
"Brother, have you heard that the poems written by the Queen at the city gate are worth tens of thousands of taels of gold if the shop owner is willing to sell them?"
"That's nonsense. Those officials and big businessmen have plenty of money. Especially since it was written by Red Dust Immortal, I heard that many people in the martial arts world sit there every day just to observe the sword and saber intent in it."
"She is really amazing. At this age and with all her achievements, she is still the Queen of Daxia, but she is a woman."
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, I can't have a child."
…
Maomao glanced at the two people who were talking. They were sitting in a crowded wine stall. After all, it was not a clean place, and the people there were not good people either.
Maomao frowned slightly, looked at the two of them, and walked slower.
Um.
A little angry.
"You said she was a man"
"No, if this was a man who looked like that and wore women's clothes, I would..."
Wow!
When this person said this.
But water was splashed directly on the man's face.
The man and his companion smelled it and said, damn, this is slop!
He immediately turned his head to look at the little girl in front of him.
Maomao was holding a gourd in his hand, staring at the two people in front of him, without any fear, and a rare look of anger on his face: "Apologize!"
…
Ps: If there is no second update today, it means I am adjusting my schedule and not sleeping!
(Mainly because of severe insomnia recently)
