Chapter 9
"Although I understand that this wedding dress is of great significance to the girl, I still want to remind you that the red wedding dress worn by this woman is not worth much." Song Zhi said, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

After a whole day of tossing and tossing about such a thing, I am happy in vain.

Tang Xueyao naturally saw what Song Zhi was thinking, she didn't say much nonsense, she just reached out and unwrapped the package, and the red wedding dress was completely displayed in front of Song Zhi's eyes.

A touch of red, brighter than the morning glow, appeared in front of Song Zhi's eyes. Under the exquisite and complicated workmanship, the most eye-catching thing was the large golden pattern on the hem of the skirt.

Song Zhi's eyes straightened suddenly: "This, this is..."

"It's the gold thread." Tang Xueyao said.

Although Prince Ning's mansion was in decline from the inside, Concubine Shu Gui wanted to save face, and she did an excellent job on the surface.

This bridal gown was provided to Tang Xueyao by Concubine Shu. It was handmade by the top embroiderers stitch by stitch. Not only was the material excellent, the cuffs and skirt were extravagantly embroidered with large pieces of gold thread into patterns such as dragon and phoenix, and lotus.

Under the sun, the red wedding dress and the golden embroidery complement each other, almost fascinating Song Zhi's eyes.

"200 taels, I will pay 200 taels for this wedding dress." Song Zhi said excitedly.

"The shopkeeper is joking." Tang Xueyao laughed, "Two hundred taels may not be enough to buy this gold thread."

"You are pawning it, and you can get it back in the future. 200 taels is already very high!" Song Zhi said.

"The wedding dress can be taken back, but the embroidery skills are hard to say." Tang Xueyao said.

Song Zhi didn't expect Tang Xueyao to think of this level, and his face changed slightly: "Miss, what do you mean by that?"

Tang Xueyao was too lazy to play riddles with him, and said directly: "This wedding dress, regardless of material, needlework, is top-notch. Needless to say the cost of the gold thread, the most important thing is that the embroidery technique is a court secret. This wedding dress is mortgaged here, and the treasurer can use it for big purposes at any time. The gold thread and embroidery techniques are all priceless things, and a mere 200 taels is too much to spend."

When Song Zhi saw the wedding dress, he really had such a plan, but Tang Xueyao saw through it all.

At such a young age, Song Zhi felt a little displeased at being so cunning and scheming. He snorted coldly and said, "In this way, this wedding dress is for the royal family, and only people in the royal family can have this wedding dress. Stately relatives, It is impossible to come to my little pawn shop, who is the girl, and how did she get this wedding dress?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Tang Xueyao to tell about Princess Ning's affairs: "You don't need to worry about who I am and how I got it, you just need to make a decision. 500 taels, will you accept it or not?"

Song Zhi wanted to say a few more words to suppress the price, but when he met Tang Xueyao's eyes, he finally swallowed those words back.

The little girl in front of her was clearly prepared.

Looking at the delicate and weak little girl, born in the sun, sitting at the door of the pawnshop for a whole day.

With this determination, Song Zhi couldn't even do it, and it was basically impossible to change Tang Xueyao's mind with a few words.

And 500 taels was within his tolerance.

"Okay." Song Zhi finally gritted his teeth, "The longest pawn period is one year. If you can't redeem it with 500 taels after one year, this red wedding dress will be mine."

500 taels is not much for the rich and powerful, but it is a huge sum of money for ordinary people!
Although it's a pain to spend money today, if Tang Xueyao can't come back in a year, and buy this red wedding dress for 500 taels, after thinking about it, it's still a good deal!

When taking the money, Tang Xueyao specially asked Song Zhi to give her some silver bills, some broken silver and some copper coins, and then hid them in different places on her body.

When leaving the pawn shop, Tang Xueyao clearly felt that someone was following her.

She had just pawned a precious red wedding dress, and she was carrying a huge sum of 500 taels. It is normal for people in the pawnshop to be suspicious.

Tang Xueyao had expected this for a long time, as soon as she left the pawn shop, she would run to the busiest place.

It was already evening, and the busiest place on the street was Huaxiang Restaurant.

Tang Xueyao shuttled through the crowd, not only easily got rid of the people behind her, but also bought what she wanted.

Just as she was about to go back home, suddenly, the crying from the side caught Tang Xueyao's attention.

"No, I have to be with my sisters, I can't go with you..."

"Your sisters are dying, staying with them will only drag you down, come home with me to eat and drink spicy food, I will treat you well!"

"No, no, unless we buy the four of us sisters, I will never leave alone."

"Bitch, don't be ashamed, I don't believe I can't cure you today!"

There were cries, screams, and the sound of being beaten with a stick.

Tang Xueyao stepped forward to take a look, and saw a man dressed as a nouveau riche pulling a young girl.

Behind the girl, there are three people whose life and death are unknown. The cheeks of the three people are swollen. At first glance, they look very scary, and they can't see their true faces clearly.

On the ground next to the three of them, there were also four crooked characters written "sell one's body for medical treatment".

Looking at the nouveau riche's attitude of buying and selling to the girl, Tang Xueyao suddenly understood what was going on.

With a slight movement of her hand hidden in her sleeve, a few herbs grew in her palm. When passing by the three lying sick girls, Tang Xueyao gently shook the herbs in her hand, and dropped all the powder on the three of them.

After finishing all this, Tang Xueyao walked behind the crying girl and shouted to the upstart: "Stop."

The nouveau riche turned his head, and when he realized that the person blocking him was a beauty, his eyes lit up: "Beauty, what do you want me to do, do you want to come with me too?"

"Didn't you see the four big characters 'sell your body for medical treatment' written on the ground?" Tang Xueyao said.

The nouveau riche sneered and said: "The doctor nearby has seen it long ago. These three people are possessed by evil spirits and cannot be cured. Instead of wasting time on them, you might as well follow me..."

"Who says it can't be cured, isn't it already awake?" Tang Xueyao said.

The two were taken aback, turned their heads to look at the corner, and then they were surprised to find that the three people who were still in a coma just now woke up slowly. Although their faces had not recovered, their consciousness had recovered, and they looked much better than before. Too much.

The crying girl let out a cry of surprise, turned around and threw herself on the three of them: "You guys are awake, how do you feel, are you feeling better?"

The three of them had just recovered from a serious illness, and they still didn't understand what happened. They looked around in a daze, and finally their eyes unconsciously focused on Tang Xueyao.

Tang Xueyao smiled at them, turned around and prepared to leave.

What the three of them had was not a serious illness, but wind-cold and rubella.

It's just that ancient medical resources were scarce, and without timely treatment, a small wind and cold could kill people, and a rubella would be even more dangerous.

Tang Xueyao just took out medicinal herbs from the fairy grass space, and sprinkled them on them while no one was paying attention, and helped them take the most dangerous step first. The three of them woke up so quickly, which shows that their bodies are in good shape, and it will be sooner or later for them to fully recover matter.

"Benefactor, benefactor, please wait!" At this moment, the weeping girl rushed out and caught up with Tang Xueyao.

Tang Xueyao turned to look at her: "Is there anything else?"

"Although the benefactor didn't say it clearly, the sisters all know that it was the benefactor who saved them." The girl said, "You saved my sisters. According to the rules, we should sell ourselves to you. From now on, we will be your maidservants."

Tang Xueyao said: "It is true that I saved the person, but I didn't think about it when I acted. Since they are already awake, you should hurry back and reunite with them, and live a good life in the future."

"I beg the benefactor to take us in." Hearing this, the girl knelt down in front of Tang Xueyao, "To tell you the truth, that bastard just now has his eye on me, and my younger sisters know how to fight. They were the ones who protected me before. , until a few days ago, they suddenly fell ill for no reason, and no one knew if it was his hands and feet. The sky is big, and we really have nowhere to go..."

Tang Xueyao was a little moved when she heard the words: "You said, do you know some boxing skills?"

When the girl heard that there was something interesting, she nodded again and again: "Yes! Washing and cooking, guarding the gate, whether it is a maid or a guard, we can do it!"

Although there are many servants in Prince Ning's mansion, none of them are obedient.

Tang Xueyao had long been planning to buy some manpower and come back, but it was getting late today, and she originally planned to come out to take a look next time, but she didn't expect that by chance, there would be such a surprise.

She nodded immediately and said: "That's all right, show me the deed of sale, and after confirming your identities, I will consider whether to accept you."

The girl was overjoyed, and immediately turned around and took the deed of sale.

And her three younger sisters are indeed in good physical condition. In such a short time, not only did they wake up, but they were even able to stop the nouveau riche who just caused trouble.

Tang Xueyao was very satisfied with this, and after confirming that there was no problem, she put away the deeds of selling their lives for the four of them, and said, "From now on, the four of you will follow me. But let me make it clear that after you follow me, it will be mine alone. Maid, you can only obey my orders, no matter what I ask you to do, you have to agree unconditionally, can you do it?"

The girl nodded repeatedly.

"My name is Tang Xueyao. As for my identity, you will know in a while." Tang Xueyao said, "Do you have a name?"

"I don't have a name. Our parents left early and we grew up dependent on each other. Everyone used to call me Da Ya, and they called them Erya, Sanya, and Siya..." the girl said.

"Then you will be called Amei from now on." Tang Xueyao said, "The other three are Alan, Azhu, and Achrysanthemum. Together they are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, the four favorite plants of literati since ancient times."

"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum..." Amei muttered, the more she read, the happier she became, "Thank you, master!"

The sun had completely set in the west, and as night fell, Tang Xueyao took four servant girls back under the moonlight.

When they found out that Tang Xueyao was Princess Ning, the four of them, Mei Lan Zhuju, were shocked. They didn't expect the new master to have such an identity.

But the four of them kept Tang Xueyao's teachings in mind, hid their surprise in their hearts, followed Tang Xueyao's footsteps closely, centered on her, and dared not make any mistakes.

The guards of the palace recognized Tang Xueyao, and they didn't dare to stop Tang Xueyao when she went out with a package during the day, and now that Tang Xueyao came back with someone, there was no reason to stop her.

Tang Xueyao walked all the way in with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, thinking about how to explain today's matter to Ning Han while walking.

She didn't expect the shopkeeper of the pawn shop to be so patient, spending a whole day with her, and she didn't expect to run into plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum on the way back, which was delayed for a long time.

A whole day passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't know if Ning Han had eaten yet.

Tang Xueyao hurried to Ning Han's courtyard, but just as she reached the door, she heard movement from inside.

"My lord..." A woman's voice came from inside, and it was none other than Chunlan who spoke.

Tang Xueyao raised her eyebrows slightly, what is Chunlan doing here at night?
