Chapter 38
It's only a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival... The more Tao Wei thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. The handsome face flashed in her mind. She woke up suddenly, opened the curtain and ordered: "Go to West Market, go to West Market!"

The West Market is in a completely different direction from the Shengyefang they are going to, the coachman is a little bit embarrassed: "But Madam ordered to take you..."

Tao Yuan's tone was urgent: "I'm just going there to have a look, and I'll come back after I'm done."

Unable to hold back this little ancestor, the coachman sighed helplessly, raised his long whip and slammed it on the horse's back, then temporarily changed direction and drove towards Xishi.

West Market is a place where Hu merchants gather. There are many people who buy and sell people, from good people to slaves.

Tao Yuan was going to a relatively well-behaved family, turned around a series of deep alleys, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.There was an attendant in front of the door to meet her, and she was directly led into the main hall without asking her purpose.

Tao Wei absolutely did not dare to come here by herself, so besides the two maidservants, the coachman was also accompanying her to avoid any accidents.

A middle-aged man came in from the door in Shaoqing, about forty years old, honest and courteous, and others called him Qi Erye.

The other party was a veteran, so he cut straight to the point, "I don't know what kind of servant the girl wants?"

Tao Wei looked at him, thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a man named Zhou Pu here?"

She vaguely remembered that it was this day, Zhou Pu was bought on this day before.There were two servants in the house who returned to their hometown due to some incidents, so she came here with her eldest brother and bought three male servants, one of whom was Zhou Pu.

Tao Jing didn't like him at first, he couldn't speak, he was still thin and weak, what kind of work could he do?

But Tao Wei wanted to buy him back, and when he asked about it afterwards, he found out that he had a rough life.

Second Master Qi thought for a while, and said truthfully: "The girl must have made a mistake, there is no such person here."

Tao Wei didn't believe it, she was sure that she remembered the time correctly, let alone the place, how could there be no such person? "Think about it again, he was born thin and tall, with a refined temperament, which is different from other male slaves."

Second Master Qi thought carefully, and there was indeed no such person, "Ms. Hui, there really isn't one."

This is strange, Tao Wei stared straight at him, trying to get a clue from his face.But his attitude is frank, not like lying.

Tao Yuan said, "How many people are there here? I want to meet."

It's not impossible, Second Master Qi took her to the backyard room to have a look. There were a total of twenty people in one room.They didn't show any expression when they saw people coming, they sat or stood without much reaction.

Tao Wei looked one by one, but she didn't find the familiar face. She looked back and forth three times but couldn't find Zhou Pu, "Is that all?"

Second Master Qi said, "Exactly."

Tao Yuan was so disappointed that he had no choice but to give up.

It seems that this life is still a little different, she can't find Zhou Pu, where should he be at this time?Wasn't the house ransacked?

After walking out of the courtyard, although Tao Wei was not reconciled, she had no choice but to go back.

The carriage went farther and farther, and a person slowly walked out from the alleyway she left. He was wearing an indigo brocade gown with twined branch lotuses, and his facial features were elegant and handsome.

He looked at the receding carriage in front of him, and for a long time closed his eyes and smiled with a little joy.

Seeing this, the servant behind him was very puzzled: "Master, you came to Chang'an City to see her? Do you know that girl?"

Zhou Pu retracted his gaze, and slowly wrote two words on his palm——

"Old acquaintance."

Due to the delay on the way, after returning to the mansion, I heard that the Yin family had returned a quarter of an hour ago.
