"This is a tonic. I didn't eat dinner last night. The prince asked someone to prepare a tonic for me!" In order to appease this simple little sister, Qi Xiaoyu asked Zhu Ke to be a good person for once.
"Then drink more!" Xueer felt relieved when she heard it was a tonic, and even advised Qi Xiaoyu to drink more.
"Okay!" Qi Xiaoyu could only drink the bitter medicine and smile wryly.
After Qi Xiaoyu drank the medicine, had breakfast, took a shower, and changed into a plain dress. She said to Xue'er who was busy: "Xue'er, I'm leaving here, you have to take care of yourself."
take care!"
"Sister, where are you going?" When Xue'er heard Qi Xiaoyu said he was leaving, she immediately stood up. She held Qi Xiaoyu's hand tightly, "Where are you going? I won't let you go!" Xue'er thought this was the case.
Her life was very happy. She didn’t have to live in the open or sleep in the open air, and she didn’t have to live the kind of life where she had to eat one meal and not finish the next. She thought that after leaving the palace, she would have to live that kind of hard life again. She didn’t want her sister Qi to live that kind of hard life.
"Sister, you also have your own home, and you always want to go home!" Qi Xiaoyu knew Xueer's thoughts, and she talked to Xueer calmly.
"Then I will go with sister!" In this world, only sister Qi is the best to her. Wherever sister Qi goes, she will follow her. Even if we go through hard times together, she is not afraid.
"Silly girl, I don't know where my home is yet?" Qi Xiaoyu stroked Xue'er's bangs, which were messed up in her anxiety, "I have to find my home first."
"I'll look for it with you!" Xue'er doesn't care about anything, as long as she doesn't leave her sister.
"Your sister has no money. It may be very hard after she goes out!" Qi Xiaoyu has also thought about how to live in Prince Chu Yang's Mansion.
"Then sister, do you still want to go out?" Xue'er herself was afraid of living a life of hunger and hunger, but she was even more worried that her sister Qi would also live that kind of life. Her sister Qi seemed to have never lived a hard life.
People who live in such a life, if they live in that kind of life, I am afraid that they will be unable to bear it.
"Of course!" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Xue'er and said, "There is so little freedom and dignity here!" Qi Xiaoyu said some words that Xue'er couldn't understand.
"Sister, I don't understand what you are saying, but since you have decided to leave, I will leave with you!" Xueer said
"Silly girl, you've only known me for a few days and you trust me so much. Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you out?" Qi Xiaoyu joked.
"No way?" Xue'er said, "I know sister you are a good person!"
"Thank you for your belief!" After Qi Xiaoyu finished speaking
"Then you go get ready, we'll leave right away!" After Qi Xiaoyu finished speaking, the two of them went to pack their things separately.
"Sister, I've packed it up!" Xue'er came back soon.
"Are you so fast?" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Xue'er who was traveling lightly, "You are really cool, carrying only such a small amount of luggage!" Qi Xiaoyu smiled and patted Xue'er on the shoulder.
"Sister, let me clean it up for you!" Seeing how busy Qi Xiaoyu was, Xueer stepped forward to help.
"Okay!" Qi Xiaoyu happened to be too busy by herself! She had made up her mind not to leave here, and she was penniless now, so she had to make adequate preparations for food and clothing.
She has everything ready for use.
"Sister, do you still want to take this?" Xueer found a white jade sign from under the bronze mirror on the dressing table.
"What?" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Xue'er and seemed to have found a good thing. She came over and said, "Take it!" Qi Xiaoyu took the sign and looked at it. It seemed to be a jade pendant. I didn't know whether to hang it on the waist or on the neck.
"Of course I have to pick up such a good thing!" Although she didn't know what it was, looking at its exquisite workmanship and transparent texture, and being an item from the royal palace, it must be valuable. Now she first
No need to worry about money anymore
Qi Xiaoyu and Xue'er walked out of Yuyuan and walked toward the side door of Prince Chuyang's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Miss Qi left the mansion through the side door with her trusted maid Xue'er!" Zhu Shun followed the prince's instructions and arranged for people to monitor Qi Xiaoyu's every move. At this moment, he came to the prince's study to report Qi Xiaoyu's whereabouts.
"Li Xing, follow her!" Zhu Ke saw that she seemed to really want to leave the palace, so he sent Xiang Lixing to follow her to see what tricks she could pull off.
"Yes!" Xiang Lixing exited and Zhu Ke walked to the window, looking at the dense sycamore trees outside the window thoughtfully.
"Sister, where are we going?" Less than half an hour after leaving, Xueer realized that Qi Xiaoyu was simply walking aimlessly.
"I don't know!" Qi Xiaoyu now had to admit that the outside world was completely different from what she had imagined. She could not find a job to support her survival at all, and she had no impression of home at all.
"What should we do?" Xue'er was worried that the two of them would join the beggar gang, "How about we go back?"
"Impossible!" She didn't want to go back and continue to be that prince's tool to vent his desires.
"Xue'er, are you hungry? Let's go over there and have a rest first!" They walked to a deserted step, "Eat something first!" Qi Xiaoyu took out the snacks brought from the palace, and the two of them
Qi Xiaoyu was eating snacks together and looking around. She still hoped to find something to do to make a living.
"Xue'er, eat quickly!" Suddenly, she saw a big sign with the eye-catching word "Dang" written on it, and she happily urged Xue'er
"What's wrong with sister?" Xue'er didn't know why.
"Xue'er, let me ask you!"
"What's the matter?" Xue'er asked while eating.
"How much does an average family spend per year?" Qi Xiaoyu asked
"I don't know about other people's families. My uncle's family of six only spends fifty taels of silver a year!" Xueer said. If the six people have enough food and clothing, it will cost almost a hundred taels of silver a year.
Therefore, Uncle Xue'er's family always had not enough to eat, nor enough clothes to wear, so they lived a tight life, just barely not starving to death.
"Oh, I know!" Qi Xiaoyu nodded.
"Sister?" Xueer thought Qi Xiaoyu was strange.
"It's okay, Xue'er, are you full?" Qi Xiaoyu asked
"I'm full!" Xue'er just doesn't feel hungry now. She's still far away from being full. However, her sister seems to have something urgent to do, so she won't eat yet.
"Then come with me!" The two of them each carried their baggage, and Qi Xiaoyu pulled Xueer towards the pawn shop.
"Girls, do you need anything?" The pawn shop owner happened to be there at the moment. He saw Qi Xiaoyu's silk and brocade clothes, so he was naturally polite. Maybe he could make a lot of money?
"Of course you have to pawn something when you come to the pawn shop!" Qi Xiaoyu didn't even know that he could buy something when he came to the pawn shop.
"Child, go make tea!" the shopkeeper told the boy, and then turned to ask, "Girl, what do you want to be?" The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, thinking that the girl was gorgeously dressed, and the item she wanted to be pawned must be something good.
"This!" After Qi Xiaoyu sat down, he took out the jade piece and Xueer stood beside her to protect her.
The shopkeeper took the jade piece and knew at a glance that he had encountered a rare treasure today. This kind of mutton-fat white jade finely carved sword pendant was probably not allowed to be seen by ordinary people except for the royal family. "Girl, you
This object..." The shopkeeper also doubted the origin of this jade object. If this girl was from the royal family, how could she be reduced to pawning such a rare treasure?
"What's wrong?" Qi Xiaoyu asked with a smile. In fact, she was really worried that this jade piece would be worthless, but on the surface, she still pretended to be calm.
"May I ask you, girl, the origin of this object?" The shopkeeper has to ask clearly. He wants to make money, but he can't do it at the risk of his own life!
"You suspect that I stole it?" Qi Xiaoyu pretended to be angry, "This is what my mother left for me. If I hadn't come to the capital to visit my relatives, I wouldn't be able to see my relatives, and all my money would be spent.
I won't be responsible for this?" Qi Xiaoyu just wanted to clarify that this thing was not stolen, but he forgot that by doing this, he was putting himself at a disadvantage in negotiating the price.
"Girl, calm down, I believe it is the girl!" The shopkeeper is very rare about this treasure. Even if the origin of this treasure is unknown, he still wants to keep it for himself.
"I'm just giving it to you now. When I find our relatives, I will come and redeem it!" Qi Xiaoyu warned the shopkeeper.
"Girl, please give me a price!" The shopkeeper cunningly wanted to see how much Qi Xiaoyu knew first.
"I want this number!" Qi Xiaoyu stretched out his palm and waved it in front of the shopkeeper
"Fifty thousand taels?" The shopkeeper was slightly excited, but he soon regained his composure.
Qi Xiaoyu only wanted to give her five hundred taels for temporary relief, but she didn't expect that the price offered by the shopkeeper was a hundred times what she wanted.
"Fifty thousand taels? Girl, this sword of yours is defective and not worth the price at all!" The shopkeeper pretended to be indifferent and said, "I can only give you 20,000 taels for this item!"
Judging from the shopkeeper's reaction, Qi Xiaoyu guessed that this sword pendant might be worth more than 500,000 taels!
"Twenty thousand taels?" Qi Xiaoyu grabbed the jade sword pendant and said, "Xue'er, it turns out that the shopkeeper of this store is so ignorant. I think we should go to another store to have a look!" Qi Xiaoyu made a move to leave.
"Yes!" Although Xue'er didn't understand what Qi Xiaoyu was doing, she knew that she could only cooperate with her sister, and she must be right.
"Girl, everything is easy to discuss!" The shopkeeper doesn't want this good thing to be taken over by others.
"Okay, since you said that, girl, I won't lie to you anymore. Four hundred thousand taels. If the girl thinks this price is still not good, you can go to other places and ask!" the shopkeeper said.
"Okay! Since the shopkeeper is so happy, I won't go to other places to ask. The deal will be done for 500,000 taels!" Qi Xiaoyu negotiated the price with the shopkeeper again. "Okay, the girl is also happy. The deal is done!" Although the increase was ten times, he
It’s still a sure profit without losing money, and it’s still a sure win for a big sum.
