Opening Six Maids

"Is it my cousin?!"

The little girl pointed at the survivors of Xianzhu country on the stone platform and exclaimed.

Mrs. Du Tong rubbed the adopted daughter's hair, "watch it quietly."

The little girl pulled on Madam Mei's sleeve with a pleading expression on her small face.

"Mother, shall we take a picture of my cousin?"

Madam Mei looked at Pei Lan Qingri on the stone platform, and said softly, "Qingri has her own choice."

"Oh." The little girl nodded seemingly.

At this moment, the customers who had taken the right to hire made their offers.

"Twelve taels of silver a month, four days of vacation a month."

"A month is eight taels of silver, and a seven-day holiday a month."

"Five taels of silver a month."

"Twelve taels of silver a month, and promises to be a set of jewelry and three new clothes every year."

"Twenty taels a month, if you agree, you will be given the status of a concubine."

···

Everyone in the lobby who had obtained the right to hire made bids.

There is also a merchant in brocade who promised to marry Pei Lan Qingri as a concubine.

Seeing his obsessive expression, he certainly didn't have any good ideas.

Chuci also gave his own quotation symbolically.

"Ten taels a month."

The black robe man called Pei Lan Qingri the final choice.

Pei Lan stood on the stone platform on Qingri, looking at the people on the stage with clear eyes.

Looking around, Pei Lan Qingri seemed to have found the target.

"It's her!"

Pei Lan's goal is a woman with dignified appearance.

Next to the woman was sitting a beautiful young woman who seemed to be the woman's daughter.

"Hey?!"

When the young girl saw that Pei Lan's choice was actually herself, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

The dignified woman was also surprised.

The woman was also temporarily pulled by a friend to participate in this underground auction.

Even the auction of employment rights only tried to participate in the auction after the persuasion of friends.

In order to prevent Pei Lanqing from choosing herself, the woman quoted the lowest price.

But I never thought that Pei Lan had chosen herself on the sunny day!

"I do not···"

The dignified woman just wanted to say no.

A coquettish woman sitting beside her hurriedly gave her a hand.

"Sister Rui!"

"Since it was taken, I can't refuse it!"

The dignified woman frowned slightly, "But I just join in the fun and don't want to really hire her?"

"Sister, are you stupid?" The coquettish woman said, holding the woman's hand, "This woman on the stage is the daughter of the first-class Shang Gong of Xianzhu State."

"How good is it to hire such a servant?"

"And sister, you only paid out five or two months of money, which is simply too profitable!"

The dignified woman heard the persuasion of her friend beside her, and she also stopped her intention to refuse.

"That's true."

The woman nodded and said, "Then hire her, just to be Qin'er as a girl."

The woman's daughter nodded quickly when she heard a touch of excitement on her face.

"Uh-huh."

"First-class Shang Gong's daughter, it turned out to be my beloved girl, I'm very excited when I think about it!"

The dignified woman patted the back of her daughter's hand and said, "You girl."

"Even if she is a survivor of Xianzhu country, you can't bully others, do you know?"

"I know, I know!"

In the middle of the room, Chu Ci looked at the mother and daughter.

"Madam, do you know which family they belong to?"

Mrs. Du Tong, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Chuci and said, "The law of offering the city judges Tan Chenglu's family."

After speaking, Mrs. Mei pulled her adopted daughter out of her seat and stood up.

"The underground auction is over, let's go!"

Chu Ci followed Madam Mei back from the same way and came back to Cross Street.

"go!"

Mrs. Mei pulled her adopted daughter into the carriage and left straight away.

Watching the carriage disappear, Chu Ci greeted Shi Liang and said, "Let's go too."

Leaving Cross Street, Chuci and several people returned to Wangyue Tower.

"My lord, I'll be waiting for you at the corner tomorrow!" Shi Liang stood at the door of Wangyue Tower and said to Chuci.

"Go." Chu Ci waved his hand.

Walking into Wangyue Tower, Chuci saw the drunk Taoist leaning on a chair, pouring wine into his mouth.

"Do you still drink?"

Chu Ci sat opposite the drunk Taoist.

Gudong!

The drunk Taoist swallowed the drink in his mouth, stroked his beard and said, "I just woke up, sipping wine to refresh myself."

Chuci was a bit speechless.

Drinking and refreshing as soon as I wake up, this is very drunk.

The drunk Taoist put down his hip flask and looked at Chu Ci, "Chu boy, poor Tao remember to count it for you."

"Lee is in the east, have you gone to the east of Xiancheng?"

"No." Chu Ci shook his head and said, "I went to Cross Street in the center of Xiancheng."

"I just heard people say that there are a lot of good things on this cross street." The drunk Taoist's eyes lit up, and he put his head in front of Chu Ci, "Is there a good wine?"

Chu Ci pushed away the head of the drunk Taoist with disgust, "No!"

The drunk Taoist smiled when he heard the words, looked at the expression on Chuci's face and said, "That is there!"

"Pan Dao must go to Cross Street tomorrow."

The two were talking, and two figures walked outside the Lunar Building.

It is Di Gongming and Li Chongming.

Chu Ci beckoned to the two.

As soon as Di Gongming sat down, he poured a cup of tea and drank it.

Chu Ci asked, "Master Di has something to gain this time?"

Di Gongming put down the tea cup and let out a sigh of relief.

"I visited Xicheng District, where I met Ji Bochuan last time."

Chu Ci asked, "Has anyone else seen Ji Bochuan?"

"There is really one person." Di Gongming nodded, "In a show shop, someone saw Ji Bochuan meeting a mysterious man."

"Xiufang? Mysterious man?" Chu Ci and the drunk Taoist asked together.

The two people's concerns are clearly different.

Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming and raised his eyebrows, "Why Master Di wants to go to Xiufang? Could it be..."

Di Gongming's face became stiff, and he quickly explained, "The last time I ran into Ji Bochuan, he was on Guang'an Street in Xicheng District."

"There are many shops and restaurants on Guang'an Street, as well as a show shop and several teahouses. I have asked Chongming from door to door."

Chu Ci nodded suddenly, "Master Di doesn't need to explain much, I understand."

Di Gongming, "···"

"The person who has seen Ji Bochuan is Xiufang's servant."

"At that time, Ji Bochuan and the mysterious man were about to leave Xiufang. The young man passed by in a hurry, bumped into the mysterious man's robe, and saw his appearance."

Chuci is very curious, "What does it look like?"

Di Gongming looked at Li Chongming and said, "Chongming, show Master Chu things."

Li Chongming nodded, took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Chuci.

"Master Chu, please see!"

Chuci slowly opened the scroll and saw a portrait of a man depicted on it.

The man with his head bare and his face full of flesh looked fierce.

An oblique scar was pulled diagonally from the left corner of the eye to the right corner of the mouth.

"Who is this person?"
