The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 431 What is the intention?

"It's a stuttering idiot, a redneck going to town. Go!"

With a wave of his hand, he left with the guards.

Bai Zhi and the others finally turned the danger into safety, and they couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"You're really good. Knowing that Yan Guo speaks poorly, you pretend to be stuttering, so you can't hear it."

Bai Zhi gave the short man a thumbs up and praised: "I just like your ability to adapt to the situation, and you can make troubles even if you make troubles, but in the future, it's better not to be so rash, so as not to have things that you can't fix, and cause troubles for us. , this is not after all..."

The short man was praised first, with a smug expression on his face, but then he blushed when he heard Bai Zhi's words, saying yes again and again.

The tall man said worriedly: "It's very unsafe to be near the imperial court. Why didn't Madam choose to open a medicine shop far away from the imperial court? Anyway, this business doesn't have to attract people from the imperial court. After all, the imperial court has Your own physician."

Bai Zhi nodded: "What you said makes sense, but I heard that the most dangerous place is also the safest place. In any case, we will wait and see near the imperial court."

The tall man didn't say anything, and replied: "Listen to Madam."

They went around and finally selected a shop.

This shop has six rooms above and below. It is very spacious and the location is very good. It is very close to the imperial court. Nearby are some wineries and restaurants where dignitaries and dignitaries come and go.

Bai Zhi stood across the street, staring blankly at the shop with the guise of a grocery store.

The short man tentatively asked: "Madam, they are doing business normally, can we make a deal?"

Bai Zhi smiled slightly and said confidently: "As long as you have the will, you can get it. It's up to you."

With that, she crossed the street and walked into the shop.

The shop is quite complete, with a dazzling array of everything.

There was an old man behind the counter, leaning on the counter with his elbows and taking a nap.

There is also a waiter in the shop who is sorting out the shelves.

Seeing Bai Zhi and the others come in, the waiter asked excitedly and diligently: "What do you guys need?"

Looking at his appearance, Bai Zhi knew that the grocery store's business was not good, and tentatively asked: "Why is your store so deserted? Is it because you don't have enough stock? I don't know if I want gold thread or silver thread. I think this store is big. It should be, but don't let me down."

The waiter hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, many of the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial court come to buy our grocery store, so how could it be incomplete? There are three types of gold thread and silver thread, upper, middle and lower. I don't know. What kind of girl do you want?"

Bai Zhi pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that there are so many, then I really found the right one. We just came back from the border town, so we must be ignorant. That's great, I want high-quality gold and silver threads."

The waiter in the shop quickly found the best gold thread and silver thread.

Bai Zhi knew at a glance that it was indeed of good appearance, so she generously pulled out a piece of silver and put it on the counter.

"Bring me two locks each."

"The money can't be used." The waiter in the shop looked happy when he saw that she was generous.

"There's no need to look for it." Bai Zhi smiled generously.

The shop clerk showed a tangled look on his face, and he subconsciously looked at the old shopkeeper who was still dozing off.

Unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper actually said: "Since this girl is the generous owner, then you won't give her a few more strands, so that we won't take advantage of the girl."

The waiter in the shop showed joy, nodded quickly and said: "Okay, old shopkeeper."

Bai Zhi didn't say anything else, she just cupped her fists at the old shopkeeper and said, "Thank you very much."

The old shopkeeper was dozing off again with his chin resting on his hands.

Bai Zhi thought for a while, walked over, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him: "Old shopkeeper, I see your business... Cough, I want to ask, are you willing to sell this shop?"

The old shopkeeper still didn't change his posture, and only answered two words: "I don't want to!"

Bai Zhi smiled: "Why?"

"No reason." The old shopkeeper's voice was a little impatient.

Bai Zhi said nothing more and went over there to choose goods.

She bought a lot of daily necessities, and she heard in the teahouse that the war would start in seven days, so she would have to stay at least seven days.

"Too many things to buy, not enough money, Xiao Er, would you like to come with us to get the money?"

Bai Zhi actually has enough money on her body, so she said this on purpose.

The waiter looked at the old shopkeeper again.

The old shopkeeper who was still dozing off miraculously said again: "Go."

The waiter agreed and followed Bai Zhi and the others out.

But Bai Zhi didn't take the waiter back to the inn, she wouldn't let him know where they lived.

But in a secluded place, she stopped, and others also stopped.

The shop clerk asked in surprise: "Girl, why did you stop, didn't you take me to get the money?"

Bai Zhi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I want to talk to you, as for the money, I won't miss you."

As she spoke, she took out a money bag from her pocket and weighed it. It seemed quite heavy.

The clerk showed a horrified expression on his face: "What? You lied to us. You didn't give us any money in the store just now, but you tricked me out. What's your intention? I'm just a clerk, and I don't have any money."

Seeing his worried look, Bai Zhi couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Do you think we look like bad guys? If you are a bad guy, can your old shopkeeper let you come out? I feel that your old shopkeeper is also a person with some ability to deceive you. I just want to ask you about one thing. Why is the business of the department store sluggish, but the old shopkeeper still guards it, and didn't sell it when the rent of this shop is high?"

When the waiter heard this, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately became alert: "Who are you, and why are you asking about this? It's the old shopkeeper's shop. The old shopkeeper likes to open it. It doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, so what?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi knew that he was still worried that they were bad people, so she continued to persuade her.

"We came from a border town, but it's a pity that we came late. We wanted to open a medical shop but couldn't find a shop. After traveling around the entire capital, we found that only your family's business was deserted, so we felt inquiring. But you can rest assured, money is not a problem."

The waiter stared at her for a while, then nodded in doubt.

"Okay, I believe what you said. The old shopkeeper actually wants to sell out the shop. After all, he is old and the war is about to start. It will be difficult for the grocery store to make money. Who has the leisure to buy some gadgets and save them all? I just need money to buy something to eat and drink. But he hasn’t waited for my young master yet. If the shop is sold out and he comes back, won’t he not be able to find the old shopkeeper? So, no matter how many people come to ask, the old shopkeeper doesn’t Yes, some people even offered huge prices that we couldn’t even imagine.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi secretly rejoiced, there is a door, isn't it just looking for someone?
