queen she is not doing business

Chapter 41 Excitement
The door was slapped with a "bang bang bang" sound, time was urgent, and Sheng Fengxue couldn't take care of it. While knocking on the door, he shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door!"

After knocking on the door for a few times, she put her ears close to the door and listened carefully. There was the sound of legs hitting the bench, and then there were footsteps coming towards the door.

Sheng Fengxue was secretly happy, hurriedly stood up straight, and waited quietly.

Sure enough, after a while, the door was half opened by someone, one head poked outside, and saw Sheng Fengxue standing at the door.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy took a quick look at her before asking politely, "Miss, are you planning to stay at the hotel?"

There was no one else behind Sheng Fengxue.

When asking questions, he came out with a lamp, and Sheng Fengxue saw that he was wearing coarse sackcloth, a hat, and a rag around his shoulders.

Apparently they were left on vigil.

Innkeepers often do this in order not to miss business.

"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here?" Sheng Fengxue asked straightforwardly.

This young man was not the man in the tall hat she saw that day, but an unfamiliar face.

"Miss, why did you seek our shopkeeper?" The waiter asked cautiously, still holding the door frame, originally wanted to let Sheng Fengxue in first, but after hearing Sheng Fengxue's question, he did not do so.

He knew that Sheng Fengxue didn't come to stay at the hotel.

"I need his help," Sheng Fengxue said eagerly, "My son is in trouble, and I want to ask him to help."

"Who is your young master?" the waiter asked.

"The shopkeeper has seen it before," Sheng Fengxue said, "Before he left money here, he said he would come here to take care of your business in the future."

The waiter in the shop frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that such a thing really happened, so he said to Sheng Fengxue: "Miss, please wait for a moment, the shopkeeper is in the back room, and the young one will call him out immediately."

"Okay." Sheng Fengxue replied concisely, without any intention of going straight in.

After the shop waiter saluted, she quickly went in with the lamp in hand. Sheng Fengxue could only wait, hoping that the shop owner could help. She couldn't think of any other way now.

The store owner didn't keep Sheng Fengxue waiting long, and hurried out from the back room. The waiter told him the original story, so when the store owner came out, he recognized Sheng Fengxue at a glance when he saw her again.

Sheng Fengxue's appearance has not changed, she is dressed more gorgeously than before, she is a completely different person.

The shopkeeper quickly invited Sheng Fengxue into the lobby, and the shop waiter kindly lit the lights, and was sent to sleep by the shopkeeper.

"I didn't expect Miss to work for him." The shopkeeper sighed, and he still remembered the scene when they were at war.

"Now that my son is in trouble, my little girl hopes that you can lend a helping hand." Sheng Fengxue did not beat around the bush, and directly explained the purpose of her visit.

The shopkeeper hesitated, his eyes rolled quickly.

"Of course, after-the-fact compensation is essential," Sheng Fengxue brought up a topic of interest to everyone, "Of course, if you are willing to fully assist and keep it secret."

"Yes..." The shopkeeper shrank his head, thought for a while and asked, "Is there any danger?"

"Have."

Sheng Fengxue didn't hide anything, she paused and said again: "There is a possibility that the money will be wasted."

"..." The shopkeeper was a little confused, showing signs of shrinking back.

With a "snap", Sheng Fengxue directly slapped the jade pendant from Junyi on the table, and when the shopkeeper was staring at the jade pendant, Sheng Fengxue said again: "This jade pendant belongs to my son, it should be very valuable."

"Yes!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "This is a high-quality ancient jade."

"You know jade?" Sheng Fengxue smiled and asked in surprise.

She didn't understand jade, she just picked up the token.

"The Nangong pawn shop is next to it. I learned from them when I was free. I just know a little bit about it." The shopkeeper waved his hand with a humble face.

Sheng Fengxue unconsciously tightened the fingers holding the jade pendant.

"If you can raise money and find some people to come for me," Sheng Fengxue pointed at his inn, "I think my son will give you a new inn after the matter is settled."

Sheng Fengxue gestured three more fingers, and added: "Three are as big, and they are still in the capital."

"Really...Really?" The store owner was very excited, but still had some scruples, looked Sheng Fengxue up and down, guessing the truth of this statement in his heart.

"Didn't I say it before, you have to help with all your strength and are willing to keep it secret." Sheng Fengxue said.

"..." The shopkeeper still didn't speak. He's not the kind of person who likes to take risks. If the chicken flies, it's really not worth the loss.

What if the person in front of him lied to him.

"Think about it, besides His Majesty the Emperor, who else is the greatest?" Sheng Fengxue asked.

The shopkeeper replied without thinking, "Of course it's His Royal Highness."

"My young master is a friend of His Highness the Crown Prince," Sheng Fengxue said, "His Royal Highness's birthday is approaching, and I went with him to get His Royal Highness's birthday gift, but luck was not good, and someone robbed me halfway. was kidnapped."

"Huh?—" The shopkeeper was surprised and opened his mouth wide.

"That's why I asked you if you would like to take a gamble," Sheng Fengxue said, staring straight at him, "If you gamble well, you will have a bright future, but if you gamble badly, you will start all over again."

The shopkeeper was very confused.

Everyone knows that once they have a relationship with the future emperor, the future will really be bright.

But after thinking about it again, he suddenly remembered a big question, so he asked quickly: "In this case, why don't you go to the government, miss?"

"Are you going to make this a big deal?"

Sheng Fengxue asked back: "If the government is dispatched, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely know about it, and His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be very angry when he finds out, and if he gets angry, this birthday will be difficult...Since His Highness the Crown Prince is having a hard time, then we must It won't be easy, and they will all follow along."

The shopkeeper didn't speak, Sheng Fengxue paused for a moment, and then said: "My young master is used to being idle, and he doesn't want to spoil his mood because of these things, and he doesn't want to spoil His Royal Highness's interest, it's good for everyone, isn't it? "

The shopkeeper thought for a while and nodded silently.

It took a long time before he seemed to have made up his mind, and asked in a low voice, "What do you need to do if you are young?"

"How much money can you raise right now?" Sheng Fengxue asked, not intending to waste time by beating around the bush.

The shopkeeper thought about it, calculated it in his heart, and then said: "Eight, 8000 taels."

This is all his belongings!

"You have to think of a way to make up enough 1 taels." Sheng Fengxue said quickly.

The shopkeeper nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"And then?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Send someone to deliver a letter to the capital for me." Sheng Fengxue said.

The shopkeeper said he had no comment.

So Sheng Fengxue asked the shopkeeper to take out the rice paper and inkpad, fiddled with the envelope a few times, and then handed it over to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper went to the next door and knocked on the door of Nangong Pawn Shop, successfully raised another 2000 taels of silver, and handed it to Sheng Fengxue together with his own 8000 taels of silver.

Sheng Fengxue drew up the route for the shopkeepers, made a series of arrangements, and told them to arrive at the designated place before Chenshi.

Then she took the 8000 taels of silver and 2000 taels of silver and rode back the same way.

The shopkeeper went in and woke everyone up, including his wife, daughter and parents. After the shop boy got the order, he went to find someone from the back door.

To be on the safe side, he secretly handed the letter to his 14-year-old daughter, telling her to go to the capital overnight.

It was raining outside.

"No wonder he got water on his head when he came in."

Sheng Fengxue looked up at the dark night sky, the road was faintly visible, she swung her whip and rushed back as fast as she could.

Let it rain when it rains.
