Wen Zhu and Hong Yu looked at each other, then looked at Mo Yi together: "Master Mo Yi, why are you here?"
Mo Yi scratched his head.
After breakfast, he took the two of them to the Hanlin Academy. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Mr. Fu Yu shook his head when he saw him, saying that the two girls had never been far away, so he asked Mo Yi to take care of them.
Although he wondered why his master cared so much about these two maids, the situation at the time did not allow for further questions, so Mo Yi came out.
Fortunately, it was easy to find them.
At first he just wanted to watch and protect them from afar, but he didn't expect the two of them to go straight to the Xiuhua Pavilion, so he showed up to intervene.
"I just happened to pass by, it was really a coincidence!"
Mo Yi smiled and said, "Stop talking, we really can't go any further, let's go back quickly!"
Wen Zhu shook his head and said, "Master Mo Yi, I promised a friend that I would go to Xiuhua Pavilion to find someone for her. Even though it's just a woman, I've made a promise and I don't want to break it."
After hearing this, a light flashed in Mo Yi's eyes. I understand.
Hongyu's expression also became complicated. Could she be so desperate for a verbal promise?
"I didn't expect Miss Chen Zhu to be such a person who keeps her promise," Mo Yi admired her sincerely, "Tell me who you are looking for, how about I go there for you?"
Originally, Wen Zhu didn't intend to trouble others, but before she opened her mouth, Hongyu pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Miss, Mr. Mo Yi is a man after all. He must be much more flexible than us in such an environment."
This statement is correct.
Wen Zhu nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Mo Yi. The person we're looking for...
I don't know what name she uses in the Shame Flower Pavilion, I only know her name is Doukou, and she has a flower-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder. Mr. Mo Yi, please help me find out how much it would cost to redeem her."
"Okay, I understand. You guys go to the nearby teahouse and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Mo Yi left after he finished speaking, and the two of them found a nearby tea stall to sit down.
On the other hand, it was actually Mo Yi's first time to come to such a place. Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he couldn't suppress his nervousness in his heart.
As soon as he entered the gate of Xiuhua Pavilion, he was almost overwhelmed by the strong fragrance inside.
"Hey, young master, is this your first time here?"
A woman walked over with a twist of her waist, looking him up and down, making Mo Yi feel like she was completely seen through.
The woman's clothes were very bright and her face was covered with heavy makeup. When she approached, a smell of cheap perfume came towards him, and Mo Yi couldn't help but hold his breath.
"Little brother, have you grown your hair yet and dare to come here?"
The woman laughed and said, "Why don't you leave now!"
"You little bitch, you don't know how to entertain guests and you dare to chase them away?"
A shrill voice sounded, and then a plump woman appeared. She glared at the woman who had just spoken, then looked at Mo Yi with a smile on her face: "Young Master, you have come to the right place! We have all kinds of beauties in the Xiuhua Pavilion. I wonder what kind you are looking for?"
As the fat girl spoke, her eyes darted back and forth on Mo Yi.
Although Mo Yi was a servant, he had followed Fu Yu since he was a child, so he naturally learned some tricks. In addition, he was dressed decently, so in the eyes of the madam, he was like a VIP customer.
In order to appear more imposing, Mo Yi coughed deliberately and said, "I'm here to find a girl with a flower-shaped birthmark on her left shoulder. Do you have anyone like this here?"
Hearing this, the fat woman's eyes lit up and she pulled the woman over: "So the young master is here for our Hua Niang, he has a really good eye!"
Seeing that Mo Yi was staring at Hua Niang, the madam kept smiling and pushed the girl forward hard.
Hua Niang tried to smile and asked, "Master, how do you want to play?"
Mo Yi took a step back, avoiding her hand, and asked directly: "Your real name is Doukou?"
Hua Niang's expression changed immediately: "How did you know?"
After confirming that he had found the right person, Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately wanted to redeem her.
The smell in the room made him feel very uncomfortable. He just wanted to take his people away as soon as possible, completely forgetting that Wen Zhu only asked him to ask the price.
She hadn't expected him to directly discuss redemption, but seeing his impatience, the madam immediately offered: "Five, five hundred taels of silver?"
Five hundred taels was a very high sum for the place she ran.
Usually when doing business, there is always some bargaining, so quoting such a high price is actually to leave room for oneself.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yi didn't even pay the price. He asked where the money shop was and left quickly. Not long after, he came back and slammed a silver note of five hundred taels on the table.
Holding the five hundred taels of silver note, the madam was stunned. How could such a wealthy person really exist?
Mo Yi frowned and warned, "Five hundred taels is the price you asked for. Now I've paid you. If you plan to raise the price, don't blame me for being difficult to get along with!"
After realizing what was happening, he quickly grabbed the five hundred taels of silver in his hand and said, "How could this be? Young Master, Hua Niang is yours!"
After saying that, he immediately took out Hua Niang's indenture contract and other items and gave them directly to Mo Yi.
He laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close, twisting his waist and going back to the house to count the money. This time he really made a lot of money!
After Hua Niang packed her things, Mo Yi took her away.
Walking on the road, Doukou's eyes seemed a little confused.
Over the past few years, she has been hoping that someone could take her away from this place.
However, as time went by, most people passing by just stared at her figure.
Even if someone occasionally wanted to redeem her, they would soon disappear.
Gradually, she lost hope.
But today, freedom came to her without any warning, and it felt like it wasn't real.
In a trance, I followed Mo Yi out of the street and walked towards a tea shop.
"Miss Chenzhu, Miss Hongyu, I've brought the people here!"
Wen Zhu was stunned when he saw Mo Yi leading people here directly.
Originally, she just wanted Mo Yi to help inquire about the situation, and then express her difficulties to Liu Pozi herself. She didn't expect that he would solve the problem so quickly.
Even faster than expected.
But when he looked into Doukou's eyes, Wen Zhu suppressed his inner turmoil, stood up and asked, "Are you Doukou?"
Doukou nodded slightly.
"Is your mother the Liu one who works for us?"
Doukou nodded again, but when she mentioned her mother, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Wen Zhu overlooked this detail. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I guess we found the right person...
Master Mo Yi, how much silver did you pay to redeem yourself? I will return it to you."
Mo Yi waved his hand, meaning that it was not necessary to worry about it.
Five million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, let alone for a little girl.
It’s better not to tell her the amount than to make her worry.
But Wen Zhu's attitude was very firm: "Master Mo Yi has done me such a big favor, how can I let you spend money?"
"It's really not much, it's really not much! I can go to the young master and ask for it, and say it's the money he gave me!"
