Ji Shuang asked, “Do you know him?”

It was not just knowing him. Jiang Yechi was a scholar. During his time as an official, he was the most fair and honest. Bai Xianyu had only heard that his family was poor, but he had a clean background and could not stand the suffering of the common people the most. Later on, he became an official censor and was one of the few neutral parties.

Bai Xianyu’s gaze moved slightly. “He looks a little familiar.”

After Jiang Yechi stood up, he was also in a sorry state. He said miserably, “Thank you, Misses. If you hadn’t saved me, I really…”

Bai Xianyu wiped the little girl’s face with a clean handkerchief and smiled. “You’re welcome. I see that the two of you seem to be in trouble. If you can’t find a place to stay in the capital, why don’t you come to my place?”

Jiang Yechi was a little embarrassed. “Miss, my sister and I are already penniless. How can we dare to disturb you?” Then, he said in a self-deprecating manner, “I don’t have the fortune to go to the Qionglin Banquet, and I don’t have the strength to even truss a chicken. I don’t think 1 can even be a good servant. I’ve already decided to take her out of the capital and find some way to live.”

“I’m not asking you to be servants.” Bai Xianyu smiled and said, “I have a place that specializes in taking in scholars. If you don’t mind, you can bring your sister there.”

Jiang Yechi sounded determined, but deep down, she still wanted to study. Hearing her say this, she thought of something. “Where?”

“White Horse Post.”

Jiang Yechi and Jiang Liu’er were stunned at the same time. The latter said, “Brother, isn’t the White Horse Post the place you mentioned before? Many officials have stayed there before they succeeded in the imperial examinations and it is very close to Qionglin Garden!”

Jiang Yechi was slightly excited, but he could not hide his disappointment. “White Horse Post… I’m afraid I can’t afford to stay there…”

There were only the few of them here. Although Bai Xianyu covered her face every time she went to the White Horse Post and even the supervisor did not know her true identity, she was very at ease with Jiang Yechi. Hence, she said, “The current White Horse Post is different from the past. Even if I invite you there, I won’t charge you money.”

Jiang Yechi seemed to have thought of something and widened his eyes in surprise. “Could it be that the White Horse Post is yours…”

“Yes.” Bai Xianyu smiled. “Also, my name is Bai Xianyu.”

Bai Xianyu bade farewell to Ji Shuang at the fork in the road and called for a carriage to bring the two of them to the White Horse Post.

Jiang Yechi was extremely excited when he saw the golden signboard of the White Horse Post. When he looked at Bai Xianyu’s rear view, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

After Bai Xianyu greeted the supervisor, Jiang Yechi saw the scholars sitting in the spacious outer hall studying diligently and was very excited. He turned around and cupped his fists. “I will definitely remember Miss’s kindness today. If you need me in the future, you must not stand on ceremony!”

After he finished saying that, he looked at the beautiful girl’s smile and instantly felt inferior.

He was just a poor man in dire straits. For someone like Miss Bai, it was obvious that she came from a good family background, so why would she need his help?

He could actually say such shameless words.

Jiang Yechi’s hands loosened slightly, but he heard the girl say solemnly, “Xianyu will remember it. If I have a favor to ask in the future, please remember what you said today.”

Jiang Yechi’s heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his eyes turned red. “Miss, you trust me so much. How can I go back on my word? You saved my sister and saved me. Now, you’re still willing to take us in without charging a single cent and even let me prepare for the exam in peace. 1’11 never forget such a huge favor!”

If one day he succeeded in the imperial examination, the first person he would kowtow to was her!

Bai Xianyu also returned the greeting.

Vermillion Bird Street was the busiest street in the capital. There were pastry shops, bun shops, teahouses, restaurants, and shops on the street. When Bai Xianyu came out, she happened to encounter a camel caravan. The sound of bells could not be heard clearly, and it was very noisy.Not far away, there was a groom riding a bay horse and a porter carrying the bride’s dowry. Everyone was joyful.

“Miss, we’re here!” Green Pearl said, “This is Second Young Master’s shop.”

“Yeah.”

Bai Xianyu got out of the carriage with a white cone hat on her head. The golden hair ornaments on her temples were dazzling.

A few days ago, she had asked Second Brother for a few stores. Bai Mohuai was naturally generous and directly gave Bai Xianyu a few clothing shops, spice shops, and so on, which had the best revenue. Originally, he was prepared to give them all to her, but he had too many shops under his name. He was afraid that he would tire her out, so he only gave her a few to play with for the time being.

These few stores were coincidentally connected.

Inside the fabric workshop, the shop assistant was stunned when he saw a beauty alight from the carriage of the General’s Manor. He immediately bowed and greeted, “Miss, you’re here.”

Bai Xianyu nodded and went straight to the point. “Is the dress which I asked you to make that day ready?”

“Yes, it’s ready. I’ll show it to you now.”

The shop assistant took out a wide-sleeved fairy dress from the inner room. It was glittering like scales and sewn with golden and silver threads. It was luxurious and eye-catching.

Bai Xianyu’s eyes lit up.

“Miss, the picture you drew is really beautiful. I made the embroiderer work day and night, but it was only made with less than a tenth of the charm.”

“That’s enough. Go get your reward.”

The shop assistant nodded repeatedly. At this moment, another person came over and was in such a hurry that he almost did not see Bai Xianyu. After the shop assistant reminded him, the person stopped. “Miss!”

“What’s the hurry?” Bai Xianyu handed the dress to Green Pearl. Only then did she realize that there were so few girls working here. It was completely different from when she came here a few days ago.

“Miss, a big business has just come. A young master and his subordinates are choosing clothes there. They said that if they manage to choose the clothes that their young master likes today, all the clothes in the residence to be made will be handed over to our shop in the future!”

This person was the shopkeeper of the fabric shop. She was in charge of this shop and the hundreds of embroiderers behind it. Her surname was Sheng, and Bai Xianyu had known her since she was young.

Bai Xianyu said, “Isn’t that a good thing? Why is Aunt Sheng frowning?”

“It would be a good thing if the deal was closed, but it’s been almost an hour. They’ve seen all the clothes in the outer room, but they have not found anything they liked. I’m just afraid that this deal will not go through. I was just about to get someone to find more men’s clothes.” Aunt Sheng sighed.

Bai Xianyu frowned. “Then Aunt Sheng, go get someone to bring the clothes first. I’ll go see them.”

Could it be that they were deliberately looking for trouble?

“Hey, hey, okay.”

As she was in her own shop, Bai Xianyu took off her cone hat and walked through the long corridor. In the spacious clothing hall outside, there was an extremely handsome man sitting under the painting of ten thousand ravines and pine trees.

Xie Xingyun held a white jade teacup in his well-defined hand. His posture was relaxed, and his black eyes were a little lazy. Every time he lightly knocked on the tea lid, Xiao Zheng, who was standing at the right, said, “This one won’t do either.”

Hence, the girl in her shop blushed and put away the robe she had unfolded in frustration.

Bai Xianyu had not expected to meet him here. At this moment, Xie Xingyun’s gaze locked onto her. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “What a coincidence..”
