Today he changed out of his usual black outfit and put on an ordinary green shirt, but the murderous aura he exuded could not be concealed, causing the surrounding vendors to not dare to shout loudly.
"Zhao Sheng, could you please not look so stern? Someone who doesn't know would think I owe you money."
Song Yuwei stopped and looked at him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I dare not."
But he was muttering in his heart that it was still unclear who owed whom money, and he still hadn't found where to go for the several hundred taels of silver he lost in the gambling house last time.
"I'm worried about your safety. The capital is full of mixed people. What if..."
"What if? What if you lose money again and can't make up for it at the casino?"
Song Yuwei ruthlessly exposed his thoughts.
Zhao Sheng's face turned even more bitter: "Sir, please stop making fun of me."
"I've been incredibly unlucky these past few days. I've lost five days in a row and can barely make ends meet..."
Song Yuwei snorted lightly, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and threw it to him: "Spend it sparingly, don't lose it all again."
"I don't want to hear you cry poor anymore."
Zhao Sheng grabbed the silver, his eyes lighting up. "Thank you, sir! I promise I'll make a comeback this time! No, I'll definitely win a fortune!"
Song Yuwei shook her head, ignored him, and continued walking forward.
She naturally saw through Zhao Sheng's little thoughts, but she didn't point it out and walked straight to a vendor selling candied haws.
"Give me a bunch."
The vendor happily handed over the candied haws, but couldn't help but glance at Zhao Sheng.
This girl has an extraordinary temperament and is accompanied by a sword-wielding guard. It is obvious that she is not an ordinary person.
Song Yuwei took a bite of the candied haws, and the sour and sweet taste spread in her mouth, and her mood also improved a lot.
"Uncle, how's business lately?"
"Thanks to His Majesty and the Prime Minister, everything is fine!"
The peddler seemed to have opened up his mouth and spoke incessantly of the good words of the current emperor and the prime minister.
Unlike the flattery of those ministers, Song Yuwei could tell that this was recognition from the bottom of their hearts.
Song Yuwei nodded, gave the vendor four coins, took out two strings of candied haws, and handed one to Zhao Sheng: "Try it."
Zhao Sheng was flattered and shocked: "This... How can I be so embarrassed..."
"Just take it if I tell you to. Why so much nonsense?"
As Song Yuwei spoke, she took a bite of the candied haws, and the sour and sweet taste spread across her tongue.
"Thank you, sir."
Zhao Sheng took the candied haws carefully, as if he was holding some treasure.
The two continued walking forward and passed by a tea stall, where they heard several people talking.
"Hey, have you heard? The four major families have been raided!"
"That's right! I heard that the emperor was furious and had their entire family executed!"
"Serves them right! These four families have been oppressing the people and committing countless evil deeds. They should have received retribution long ago!"
"That's right! My cousin runs a business in Hexi. I heard they're trying out new policies there, and the results are pretty good!"
"Once it becomes popular, our lives will be much better!"
"Speaking of which, we have to thank the Emperor and Lord Song! If it weren't for them, we wouldn't know how long we would have been exploited!"
Hearing the people's praise for her, Song Yuwei felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She knew that everything she did was worth it.
