After buying the steamed buns, Chi Yu discovered that the most outrageous thing was the noodle seller.
A bowl of clear soup noodles cost a whopping ten coins, and the portion was only half that of Anping County.
After seeing all this, she didn't even want to ask about wontons and glutinous rice balls anymore, and went back to the inn.
She had planned to take a nap and then go into the city early the next morning.
Unfortunately, as soon as they stepped into the inn, they were greeted by Qiao Shi coming down from the second floor.
"Little Fish Sister!"
Qiao had traveled a long way from the capital to bring back the money, never expecting to run into trouble here.
She ran quickly to Chi Yu's side, a bright smile on her face.
"Little Fish Sister, what brings you here?"
Come on, I have so much to tell you. Shall we go to your place or mine?
Chi Yu hadn't expected to run into the Qiao family, and upon hearing this, she turned to look at Qin Mu.
"Amu, you go and rest first. I'll chat with Sister Qiao and share a room with my sister-in-law tonight."
Qin Mu had already learned from Fang Shizhong that Chi Yu had taken the items and consigned them to the Qiao family for sale.
Seeing Qiao Shi now, I had anticipated what Chi Yu would say.
"Okay, don't stay up too late, get some rest early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Uh-huh!"
Chi Yu waved to him, then said to Qiao Shi:
"Sister Qiao, you don't mind if my sister-in-law comes along, do you?"
"Of course not, come on, let's go to my place!"
When traveling, if Qiao's family wasn't short of money, the room they booked for themselves was naturally the best.
She lived in the main room, which was very large and divided into inner and outer rooms and a small reception hall.
Instead of letting them talk in the reception room, Mrs. Qiao led them to the inner room.
Once she sat down, she told the people guarding the room to leave.
After confirming that no one was around, he closed the door tightly, then took the key off his neck and opened the small box at the foot of the bed.
Chi Yu and Chi Qiao saw her take out a thick stack of silver notes from inside.
She didn't avoid the fish in the pond, but instead took the silver notes and walked over to the two sisters, counting them in front of them.
While counting, he chatted as if it were a casual conversation:
“Little Fish Sister, this time when I returned to Jinling, I showed the things you gave me to my parents.”
After they saw it, they made arrangements and took me to the capital.
My items are sold in Linglong Pavilion.
Their commission is 30% of what is sold.
That means no matter how much it sells for, we get a 30/70 split.
At this point, Mrs. Qiao deliberately stopped counting the money and explained:
"Little Fish Sister, Linglong Pavilion is the property of our Lord Fang, who is also the Marquis of Zhenbei."
When I arrived there, I never expected to be facing the Sixth Princess and Madam Song.
By the way, that Madam Song is the head wife of the Grand Tutor's mansion, and also the maternal aunt of our Lord Fang.
The Sixth Princess is Lord Fang's cousin, born to the current Empress.
At this point, Mrs. Qiao felt a pang of emotion.
The waters of the capital run deep, and officials are everywhere.
You might bump into someone on the street by chance; they might be someone's family member, live in a certain place, or hold a certain official position.
It's just a matter of rank and whether or not one has real power!
Chi Yu was unaware of Qiao Shi's inner thoughts. This was the first time she and her sister had heard any news related to the palace.
The sixth princess, born to the empress, appears to be Fang Shizhong's younger sister.
