Opening Six Maids

Xiancheng, Cross Street.

This is the busiest and most comfortable street in Xiancheng.

Generally speaking, the bustling streets should be more crowded and crowded.

But in Cross Street, the number of pedestrians is always controlled at the most suitable stage.

It is neither crowded nor empty of streets.

"To pay street fees?"

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang and asked aloud.

Shi Guangming nodded and said, "That's right."

"If there are no real estate or shops in Shizijie, as long as you come to Shizijie, you will have to pay 30 copper coins every day!"

Hearing the words of Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

"Thirty coins?"

"I remember that Xiancheng's entrance fee is only ten coins, right?"

Shi Liang was silent for a moment and said, "Xiancheng is Xiancheng, and Shizijie is Shizijie!"

Chu Ci was startled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "If this is the case, then the people who come to Cross Street are probably only rich and powerful people, right?"

"Ordinary people are reluctant to spend thirty coins, just to go shopping."

Shi Liang stood at the cross street, looked at the clean and tidy environment inside, and said, "The rich and powerful people in Xiancheng live in the cross street."

"I only went in once, and a wealthy foreigner hired me to go in and buy some things."

Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

After paying ninety coins, Chu Ci, Leng Ruxue and Shi Liang walked to the cross street.

As soon as I arrived at the cross street, it really seemed to have come to another place.

The street is wider enough for four carriages to go side by side.

The pavement is made of large stone slabs, clean and beautiful.

Flowers and trees are planted on both sides of the street, and there are bursts of fragrance in the air.

The architectural styles of the shops and wine shops on both sides are also very different from the traditional style of the Longyan Empire, which seems to have a kind of exotic beauty.

Chu Ci looked around and said aloud, "The environment here is really good!"

"In some respects, even Shengjingcheng can't keep up!"

Even though Shi Liang had been here once, he still looked at the surrounding environment dizzyingly.

"My lord, isn't the cross street beautiful? It's exotic?"

"I heard from Big Brother Shi You that the style of Cross Street is very similar to Xianzhu Country."

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang and asked aloud, "Who is Shi You?"

Shi Liang introduced aloud, "Big Brother Shi You is my cousin Yuanfang. He has been with a merchant since he was a child and has been to many places."

"Big Brother Shi You said that coming to Cross Street is like coming to Xianzhu Country."

Shi Liang pointed to a lush tree on the side of the road and said, "My lord, look at this tree, which is a unique tree of Xianzhu!"

Chuci looked at this whirling tree. The straight trunk had the thickness of a bowl, and the thick round leaves hung on the branches like strings of copper coins.

"Is this transported from Xianzhu country?"

Shi Liang scratched his head and said, "Should it be?"

"Brother Shi You said that five years ago, the Xianzhu country fell apart and was occupied by the empire, and many things were transferred to the empire."

Chuci nodded clearly, looked at the shops on both sides of the street and said, "I think there are many shops on Cross Street, including restaurants and Goulan. Why is there no inn?"

Shi Liang explained, "Except for overnight stay in Goulan, only people who have real estate in Shizijie can stay overnight in Shizijie."

"Even shopkeepers who do not have real estate must leave the cross street at night and are not allowed to live in shops."

A strange color appeared in Chu Ci's eyes and asked, "Who are the people who live in Cross Street?"

"Um···"

Shi Liang frowned and thought for a moment, breaking his fingers and said, "Of course the most famous is His Royal Highness Xian!"

"Besides, there are officials who are dedicated to the city, wealthy wealthy households, and many others."

Chu Ci groaned, "It seems that the upper class in Xiancheng are all concentrated in Cross Street."

Chuci looked at the tidy streets and shops of Cross Street with a curious look in his eyes.

"Cross Street should have been newly built for a few years, right?"

Shi Guangming nodded, "Should it be five years ago?"

"His Royal Highness Xian presided over the construction of Cross Street, and then many wealthy officials moved in one after another."

Looking at Chuci, Shi Liang asked aloud, "My lord, what do you want to buy? I'll take you there."

Chuci pondered for a moment, and said, "First buy some jewelry and rouge gouache."

Shi Liang thought for a while and said, "My lord, come with me. I remember there is a shop in front of you that specializes in jewelry and rouge gouache."

Shi Liang relied on the memory of coming to Cross Street last time, and brought Chu Ci to a shop.

"This is it!"

Shi Liang gave a sigh of relief, and finally there was nothing wrong with it.

"Go in and take a look."

Chuci stepped into the shop.

The shop specializes in women's needs, including jewelry and rouge gouache.

"Hello guest, what can I buy?"

Seeing the guests coming, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted them.

Chu Ci looked at Leng Ruxue and motioned for Leng Ruxue to make up his mind.

Leng Ruxue looked around and said in a cold voice, "Let's take a look first."

Seeing Leng Ruxue wearing a bronze mask, the young man was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Then look at it and call me whenever you need it."

Leng Ruxue waved his hand, and the young man walked away wisely.

Leng Ruxue stepped to the counter selling jewelry and looked closely.

Chu Ci took advantage of Leng Ruxue's jewelry selection, found a chair in the shop and sat down to rest.

"Shi Liang, come and sit down too."

"Women always take a long time to buy things."

Shi Liang hesitated for a moment, and sat down not far from Chuci.

Chuci looked around the shop and saw another group of guests picking rouge gouache.

A total of three people, it looks like a noble lady led the little girl, and a maid came to buy things.

Chu Ci looked at it for a while, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

I always feel that there is something wrong with the feeling between these three people.

The lady is very beautifully dressed, and her dress with a beaded hairpin looks even more extravagant.

The little girl was eight or nine years old. She looked like the daughter of a noble lady. She was wearing a pink dress and she was also very beautifully dressed.

It's just that the little girl's face was very pale, she seemed to be unhealed from a serious illness.

The little girl carried the corners of her skirt and followed the lady carefully, for fear that her skirt would be soiled.

Chuci chuckled when he saw this, and the secret path has a habit of cleanliness at a young age?

His eyes fell on the little girl's wrist, and Chu Ci was slightly startled.

Chuci saw a circle of patterned tattoos on the little girl's wrist.

On closer inspection, the tattoo patterns are very beautiful, giving Chuci a familiar feeling.

"Is it a decorative pattern circulating in Xianzhu country?"

"Looking at the appearance of the ornamentation, this little girl should have a high status in the Xianzhu Kingdom."

However, people who belong to the Longyan Empire should not pierce the Xianzhu Kingdom ornamentation on their bodies.

Especially an eight or nine-year-old girl.

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang and asked aloud, "Shi Liang, look at that little girl."

Shi Liang followed Chuci's sight and suddenly said, "Sir, are you curious about her identity?"

Chuci was startled, "You know?"

Shi Guangming nodded and said, "My lord, look at the tattoo on her wrist. This is a sign of the survivors of the country of Xianzhu!"
