Chapter 223 Travel

Zhao Zhuoxi led his troops to attack Nanli.

Jiang Jiu was free now and wandered around the city looking for business opportunities to make money.

This place by the river is really a good place, with fertile soil and excellent people.

When the Duke of Zhenguo was in charge of this place, the people here were prosperous and the place had plenty of fish and rice.

Jiang Jiu also discovered that every household here raised silkworms and wove them into cloth. The silk they wove was smooth and light.

Just when she was planning to resell these silks to the capital.

Unexpectedly, someone had already got there first.

A small boat can do business everywhere.

Now Yiye Pianzhou has become a royal merchant. Whatever business she thinks of, Yiye Pianzhou touches upon, and does it on a large and good scale.

Jiang Jiu felt that he had no business to do anymore.

That day it happened that she was taking peach blossoms to the silk shop, and a girl came running in hurriedly.

"My daughter is going to attend a banquet the day after tomorrow, and the dress I prepared for her is damaged. Can the store make a new one as soon as possible?"

The owner knew at first sight that the girl was a regular customer of the store and he became very anxious.

"Miss, it took us half a month to make the dress for your young lady at the banquet. Now we only have one or two days. I'm afraid we can't make it."

The girl was anxious, and Jiang Jiu discovered that there were no ready-made clothing stores in ancient times.

All the clothes were made in advance. Although the knitting was very fine, there was not enough time.

After Jiang Jiu returned, he found paper and pen and started writing and drawing there.

Although she studied economics in college, she also learned painting in elementary school. In addition to landscape painting, she also learned to draw figures and sketches.

There is certainly no problem in matching colors when drawing ancient costumes.

Jiang Jiuzai carefully drew several styles of clothing for adults, and after finishing the drawings, he had someone make them.

Taohua thought she was going to wear it herself, but she didn't expect Jiang Jiu to open a shop.

Yun Shu couldn't help but persuade her, "Princess, you will be the Empress from now on, and people in the palace are not allowed to have business outside."

"Besides, the princess's clothes will be managed by the Imperial Clothing Bureau in the palace from now on. Even if you change three pieces a day, you won't be able to wear all the clothes."

Jiang Jiu's enthusiasm for making money was suddenly extinguished.

Yes, with her identity and status, she should not be short of money.

But she just has no money.

Unexpectedly, Taohua took out an exquisite sandalwood box.

"Princess, all your money is here. I have been keeping it for you. How can you say you have no money?"

Jiang Jiu didn't expect that the original owner actually hid some silver. He took it out and counted it, and found that there were actually three thousand taels.

Taohua said, "This is just a box. There are boxes for storing banknotes and gold and silver. We have a special warehouse in our house. Princess, everyone has money to spend, and you will also have money to spend."

Jiang Jiu was happy that the original owner turned out to be a rich woman.

Then she has realized her dream of traveling around the world.

This time, Jiang Jiu didn't even wait for Zhao Zhuoxi to come back. He packed up and prepared to leave with Taohua and Yunshu.

She bought a carriage, horses, and thick mattresses.

He also hired Lu An as his bodyguard.

After Zhao Zhuoxi returned from the victory, Jiang Jiu traveled around the world in this beautiful way.

"Who is following?" Zhao Zhuoxi asked after listening to Master Yiyun's report.

Master Yiyun said, "Land is dark."

Zhao Zhuoxi nodded: "Among these guards, Lu An is the one the princess admires the most. He is good at martial arts and doesn't talk much. Okay, send a few more people to follow secretly..."

Master Yiyun naturally did not dare to be careless.

"As soon as the princess left the house, she sent someone to follow her in disguise."

Zhao Zhuoxi remembered something and took a breath.

"By the way, didn't the princess say she had no money and wanted to make some money before leaving?"

Master Yiyun smacked his lips in silence: "The princess has a lot of silver, but she just forgot about it. Her maid Taohua is responsible for managing her silver. This time when she went south, she brought three thousand taels..."

"Three thousand taels...hiss." Zhao Zhuoxi frowned, "That should be enough for her to have fun for a while. Okay, let him be. I'll go find her after I finish these important things."

Jiang Jiu was just glad that she ran away in time. She never thought that Zhao Zhuoxi would secretly send someone to protect her. She almost thought she had escaped from the emperor's control.

After she got on the carriage, she began to follow the Kunyu map, heading north, playing as she went.

Facts have proven that even in a peaceful and prosperous age, there are still many thieves and liars in this world.

They arrived at the city in the evening that day and hurriedly found an inn to stay in.

Jiang Jiu's body was already a little weak after being sick for a few days, and he had been on a bumpy ride that day. When he arrived at the inn, Jiang Jiu was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes.

"Taohua, let them get some hot water. I want to take a bath and go to bed."

Taohua here asked the waiter to bring hot water.

As soon as Lu An entered the room, he felt something was wrong.

The incense is not ordinary incense, but incense with knockout drug added.

There weren't many customers in the store, and Lu An came out as soon as he entered the room.

Tell the secret guards who followed to act secretly.

Sure enough, this inn was a local black shop. The owner was the brother-in-law of the local county magistrate. He opened such an inn just to steal the guests' money.

The secret guards quickly arrested the store owner, waiter and others.

As for the other guests, they were compensated and allowed to stay in other inns.

What Jiang Jiu didn't know was that she was the only guest left in the entire inn.

And those who served her were Zhao Zhuoxi's secret guards.

Some of them heat water, some cook, and some keep them safe.

Jiang Jiu had a good sleep and it was already noon when he woke up the next day.

She was not ready to leave either, and she could see the street view by opening the window.

"Taohua, bring some loose change and let's go shopping."

Besides Jiang Jiu, the only ones who were kept in the dark were Taohua.

Yun Shu said quickly, "Princess, I will help you dress up."

Taking advantage of the time to delay, Lu An also collected

After picking up the things, he took the secret guards to guard the door of the inn.

After Jiang Jiu finished dressing up, she came downstairs with Taohua.

I went shopping happily and found everything I saw rare.

Suddenly, Taohua was bumped by someone. When she looked over again, she found that the thief had already stolen her wallet without her knowing it.

But before the thief could go far, Yun Shu grabbed the thief's wrist and took the wallet from him.

Then he threw the thief away and the secret guards under Lu An captured him directly.

Yunshu took the money bag back to Taohua without anyone noticing.

Jiang Jiu saw a nice mask and Taohua paid for it.

The secret guard took the thief directly to the yamen.

The county magistrate had no idea that he had gotten himself into such a big trouble. His brother-in-law ran a black shop. Under his management, thieves proliferated and beggars formed gangs, endangering the local area.

In the evening, the government arrested the county lord, put him in a prison car, and took him to southern Xinjiang to wait for Zhao Zhuoxi to return from the battle to capture him.

There are two secret guards escorting the car here, and two more secret guards will be sent over there to continue following Jiang Jiu.
