Chapter 26
Zhang Fang gave Zeng Xiaoxiao a round white carved box with hibiscus flowers on it, which was lifelike and delicate.

Open the lid, the pink ointment has a delicate texture and exquisite workmanship, which is somewhat similar to the modern lady's ointment.

"Miss, this is hibiscus ointment, the treasure of our town store." Zhang Fang introduced Zeng Xiaoxiao, who looked like he had never seen it before.

"This thing is so exquisitely made, it must be very easy to sell." Zeng Xiaoxiao took out a little of the hibiscus ointment and applied it on the back of his hand.

"Miss, this thing sells very well in our area. It's only for dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and it's something that only rich people can afford." Zhang Fang said with a proud smile.

"But in the imperial city, it's not very easy to sell. First, everyone has never used this kind of thing, and second, it's not easy to make and the cost is high, so the price is relatively expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it." Thinking of this, Zhang Fang found himself in trouble.

The owner ordered him to sell these things and buy some specialties of the imperial city back.

It has been five days since I came to the imperial city, and I still haven't sold a few pieces.

"Oh, it's really difficult to do business these days." Zhang Fang sighed and continued.

"Selling this thing is actually very simple, and I can help you solve it by the way." She patted Zhang Fang, signaling him not to worry too much.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was born with a warm heart, and Zhang Fang saved her, so Zeng Xiaoxiao would help Zhang Fang no matter what.

"Help me send a letter to Mrs. Xu in Zhongwang's Mansion, and sell this thing on the street tomorrow. I guarantee you will sell it out and make a name for yourself in the imperial city." Zeng Xiaoxiao thought about it, and sold it She is the best at things like this, but Zhang Fang doesn't know.

For Zhang Fang, Zeng Xiaoxiao is just the eldest lady of the official family, and her ten fingers are not in the sun.

In his mind, such a delicate young lady would only be kept in a deep boudoir.It is absolutely impossible to understand business transactions.

Based on this deep-rooted thinking, Zhang Fang was a little suspicious of Zeng Xiaoxiao's request.

It's no problem for him to deliver the letter, after all, Zeng Xiaoxiao is his savior.But he didn't believe that Zeng Xiaoxiao could help him empty out the goods so easily and make a name for himself.

The return date is approaching, and tomorrow is the time of departure.If he believed in and accepted Zeng Xiaoxiao's help and delayed for another day, the boss would definitely think that he was tired of doing things and delayed on the road.

Seeming to see Zhang Fang's hesitation, Zeng Xiaoxiao continued: "Although I am a lady of the Wangfu, but my mother comes from a business family, and she has learned some skills through her ears and eyes since she was a child. Don't worry."

"Tomorrow is the return date. I have already given up hope for the results of this trade. If the goods are still not sold if it is delayed for another two days, I am afraid that the owner will find it difficult to trust me." Zhang Fang explained the reason for his hesitation.

He didn't want his benefactor to misunderstand, so he could only tell the truth in his heart.

"If you believe me, you've already achieved half the battle right now." Zeng Xiaoxiao continued, his eyes as firm as a rock.

Perhaps it was because of Zeng Xiaoxiao's sincerity and persistence that Zhang Fang chose to believe in Zeng Xiaoxiao and promised her to stay a few more days to try.

"Pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Zeng Xiaoxiao said.

Zhang Fang then went downstairs and brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zeng Xiaoxiao quickly wrote a letter.She put the envelope and the rouge together, and put them in the purse that Xu Fengning embroidered for her some time ago.

Zeng Xiaoxiao fastened her purse tightly and told Zhang Fang to put it away and never lose it.

When going out, Zhang Fang simply cleaned up and prepared some food for Zeng Xiaoxiao.Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Zeng Xiaoxiao to be safe and come back immediately.

After many inquiries, Zhang Fang came to the gate of Prince Zhong's Mansion.

At this moment, the gate of Prince Zhong's Mansion was closed, and there was no guard at the gate. Zhang Fang even began to wonder if he had gone to the wrong place.

He looked at the plaque on the door again, "Well, yes, it must be here."

Zhang Fang knocked on the door, but no one answered.He knocked on the door again, but there was no answer.

"Is anyone there?" Zhang Fang shouted.Curiosity tended to look through the crack of the door, but he still didn't see anyone coming to open the door.

"Strange, no one opened the door in broad daylight, what's the matter?" He wanted to go in to find out, since the main entrance was impassable, he could climb over the wall by himself, and he did this kind of thing when he was a child.

He looked at the wall and made a slight gesture, "It's not high, um, it can be turned over."

Just as he was about to jump in, the door suddenly creaked.

someone is coming.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s opened the door. His eyes were red, his hair was a little gray, and his face was full of tiredness.That's right, it was Butler Li who opened the door.

"I'm looking for Mrs. Xu." Zhang Fang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said truthfully.

"The madam and the master are resting, please don't disturb me." Butler Li rejected the man in front of him, and looked up and down, trying to find out the purpose of coming here from the man in front of him.

However, what will happen to this joint point?
The old man and his wife have not closed their eyes all night since they learned that the young lady escaped after the cell caught fire last night. At this time, it may be inconvenient to deal with these complicated matters.

"What's the matter, isn't Madam here?" Zhang Fang was a little uncomfortable and anxious when he was watched by Butler Li.He has been out for a while now, if he goes back late, he is afraid that Zeng Xiaoxiao will be in danger or inconvenient in the inn by himself.

"I have something urgent." Zhang Fang didn't know if the man in front of him could be trusted, because Zeng Xiaoxiao had told him that he must keep it safe, so the letter inside must be very important and should not be handed over to others easily.

Butler Li looked at Zhang Fang's anxious appearance, half-believing, and let him in anyway.Maybe he brought news about the young lady?The old lady will surely be relieved.

But it turns out that it is indeed about Zeng Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Fang was brought to Xu Fengning. He looked at the woman with extraordinary bearing, and he must have been Mrs. Xu in the mouth of the young lady.

So, he carefully took out the purse and handed it to Xu Fengning.

"This..." Seeing the purse, Xu Fengning was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak, and she fell on the table and broke down in tears.

Seeing this, Zeng Kaizhi seemed to understand something, he quickly opened his purse and took out the letter inside.

He only heard him read: "Father, mother. My daughter was poisoned in the prison. Fortunately, my daughter was lucky and her life was not endangered. Later, she was caught on fire in the prison. From this point of view, if the daughter does not escape immediately After getting out of prison, I am afraid that she will die soon. In order to save her life, her daughter escaped in the chaos, but she didn't want to be chased and killed by men in black on the road. Later, she met Zhang Fang, who saved her life. The most urgent thing now is to help her find Only the person who fell ill at the Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant can exonerate the daughter from the crime. The daughter is afraid of hurting her father's official reputation. Before finding that person, the daughter cannot meet you. Father, mother, you don't have to worry, the daughter is now at the Yuelai Inn , it’s safe for the time being, don’t worry. There is also a box of hibiscus cream in the purse, which is different from the powder used by the mother on weekdays. Rouge sold. Sincerely, my daughter."

After reading the letter, Zeng Kaizhi was very distressed. He clutched his chest, looking distressed, "I didn't expect my daughter to suffer so much outside."

He knew the cell was on fire because he had sent it.When he returned home with the poisoned prison meal that night, he began to worry about his daughter's safety.

He said that he would go to court to uphold justice for his daughter tomorrow, but in fact he couldn't hold back in the middle of the night.

Taking advantage of the slackening of guards in the middle of the night, he ordered people to set fire to the cell, causing chaos, and wanted to take the opportunity to rescue his daughter from the cell.As a result, for some reason, the scene was out of control, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The people I sent out were afraid of hurting innocent people, so they pretended to be enthusiastic citizens to fight the fire.

The fire was extinguished, but the daughter disappeared.
