Chapter 199: Buying and Selling (2)
"Don't worry, I've asked Hongling to send a message to Yuzhou. The Chen family's case has dragged on for three years, but I don't know whether the news about the little girl from the Shen family is true or false. After all, the Chen family tried every possible means but there was no news, so how could a little girl know about it now? If her news is false, I guess the Chen family won't let her off easily." Ji Yushu said vaguely with a snack in his mouth.
"Since she's here to sell the information, it must be true." Xie Jingxing frowned, "But there's still something that doesn't make sense."
"Are you a glutton?" Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu wolfing down his food and couldn't help shaking his head. "Don't tell me, as the owner of Fengxian Pawnshop, you've never had a full meal?"
"Tsk," Ji Yushu stretched out a finger and shook it. "The snacks from other places are not as good as those made by the chef brought by Third Brother. Last time, I brought snacks made by Third Brother's chef to Miss Shaoyao, and she actually smiled at me. It seems that..." He picked up a piece of snack and shook it in front of Gao Yang, "there is always something different."
Gao Yang was too lazy to talk to him. Suddenly, he saw Ji Yushu's face suddenly solemn. He thought of something and took out a silver note from his pocket and said, "Speaking of which, the young lady from the Shen family finally gave me one thousand taels of silver to buy a piece of news."
"What news?" Xie Jingxing and Gao Yang looked at him at the same time.
"She said she was looking for someone named Liuying, a girl... probably from a brothel in Dingjing City, and she told me to find her at all costs." He asked curiously, "Why is she looking for a brothel girl? Could she be as fond of beautiful women as I am?"
Gao Yang and Xie Jingxing exchanged glances, the former puzzled while the latter just shook his head slightly.
…
When Hong Ling escorted her out, Mo Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief to see she was safe and sound. They had been inside for far too long; if she had stayed any longer, they would have rushed in to snatch her away. Before leaving, Chen Qiu repeatedly warned them that Shen Miao had gotten into trouble and they must be careful on the road. If they really lost Shen Miao, he would definitely punish them.
Hong Ling smiled politely at Shen Miao and said, "Miss Shen, you can come here again in ten days."
“Thank you, Steward Hong.” Shen Miao also replied softly.
On the other hand, the cloth-clad young man at the door was probably seeing Hong Ling being so respectful to others for the first time, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Miao a few more times.
After Shen Miao and her group boarded the carriage and left, the waiter couldn't help but ask Hong Ling, "Steward, who is that girl?"
"Just do your job." Hong Ling patted his head gently, thought for a moment, and then said, "Next time you see Miss Shen, be more sweet-mouthed. She's not a simple person."
The waiter hurriedly agreed. Hongling sighed as she watched the carriage drive away. Dingjing City was truly full of talented people. Even a young girl could so calmly plan important matters. She seemed no less capable than her own master.
In the carriage, Shen Miao was lost in thought, no one knew what she was thinking about. Jingzhe and Guyu remained silent, fearing to disturb her thoughts. In fact, they didn't know what business Shen Miao had come to do today. It was clearly a pawnshop, but they didn't know what was being pawned. However, if Shen Miao didn't say anything, the two maids wouldn't say anything.
But when they passed by a place, Guyu smiled and said, "Guangfuzhai is just ahead. I haven't been out for a long time. Why don't I ask this servant to buy some snacks from Guangfuzhai?"
Guangfuzhai's dim sum is always popular. Since it's not the busiest time yet, it doesn't hurt to buy some. Although Shen Miao herself doesn't like it much, Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu do. Shen Miao nodded and said, "Go ahead."
