If he were to ask more, he wouldn't be able to find out the reason behind it.
Liu San only said that he was a powerful person, but he shook his head and said he didn't know how powerful he was. He kept running back and forth, simply cleaning up and went to sleep. Duan Xiaohe lied beside him as if there was something that the Liu San was hiding from him.
The morning of the second day, when Duan Xiaohe finished preparing her things and just as she stepped out of the door, he saw Liu Wang and his son waiting at the entrance. Compared to yesterday, Liu Wang had cleaned up quite a bit today.
"Sister, do you know if your oxcart is still sitting down?"
Liu San smiled and put his arm on Yue Yang's shoulder, "I can sit down."
Duan Xiaohe was also very happy. When she got home, she took two more servings of dry rations and pastries. Then, he got on the oxcart and went to pick up the crabapple. Dogman kept his head down all the way, while Begonia kept on teasing him. If he was happy, she would look more. If she didn't want to bother with others, she would lower his head.
"Big Brother Qin went along with me a few times. Why haven't I seen him this time?"
It was only after walking for a long distance did Begonia think of such a figure. Duan Xiaohe was embarrassed and subconsciously looked towards Liu San. Liu San and Liu Wang were talking about something, it was unknown whether it was because Liu San didn't notice the Begonia's words, or because he intentionally ignored it.
"He has his own matters to attend to. He only came here to play the last two times."
Begonia stopped talking, only mumbling in her heart that Qin Rui was the one who helped to negotiate the last time, she could not just ignore him just because the business was successful.
Duan Xiaohe didn't care what the Begonia thought, she took another piece of cake and gave it to Gouzi. Dogman didn't want to, so he pretended he didn't see it. She thought the dog was dead because her mother was too sad, so she didn't even want sweet pastries anymore.
Begonia took the pastry in her hand and gave it to Dogman. Dogman raised his head to look at the Begonia and actually reached out to grab the pastries. Duan Xiaohe let out a long sigh, feeling that this child must have hated him.
When they reached the county, Duan Xiaohe asked the Liu San to take Liu Wang and Gou Zi for a stroll first, she went to deliver the goods to the transvestite. When she arrived at the restaurant last time, she directly ordered a private room. After a while, the Little County Princess pushed the door and entered.
Duan Xiaohe pretended to be terrified and was about to kneel down and bow, but Little County Princess quickly dodged to the side, "What are you doing? "Even if I give you more money, you don't have to thank me like this. Just treat it as my reward."
She understood that he did not want to reveal his identity as a noble. But this person had probably forgotten that Begonia was also present at the County Government Office entrance that day.
When Begonia took out the clothes, Little County Princess's eyes lit up. He scratched at one of the clothes on his body, unwilling to let it go.
"How much did you spend on all these clothes?"
Duan Xiaohe was startled, she did not expect the little girl to say this, could it be that she wanted to return the excess money?
"Little County Princess looked up and chuckled. I just asked and didn't ask for money from you. "Tsk, tsk. You can sell it for a hundred liang if you take it to the capital."
When these words came out, Duan Xiaohe and the Begonia's tails almost perked up. This was a sign of acknowledgement! This was the recognition from the picky royals!
The Begonia just didn't expect her female workers to be so good, they could sell it for 100 taels of silver in the capital. He used to think that it was extraordinary to earn a few coins just by embroidering a handkerchief. But now, it was actually silver! A hundred taels of silver!
Duan Xiaohe, on the other hand, had thought about it in the long run. If this shop made a name for itself, then it would not be a big deal even if it reached the capital.
"I am preparing to find a shop in the county to look for a few embroidery lady s. When the time comes, it would be more convenient for others to look for me to make clothes."
"Little County Princess was satisfied and nodded repeatedly. This is great. In the future, if I want to find you, I'll have to come to this restaurant. Do you like the location? When will the shop open? "
Duan Xiaohe coughed lightly, she did not have a good impression of the place.
Little County Princess laughed, "Do you have no money?"
Such an embarrassing thing being exposed in front of someone, how could Duan Xiaohe endure it? Just when she thought that Little County Princess would be generous enough to place one or two hundred dollar worth of silver notes on the table for four or five sets of clothes, she saw him put away the three sets of clothes and say: "I'm going to enter the capital in two days. If you open a shop, remember to tell the owner of the restaurant, otherwise I won't be able to find a place next time."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Duan Xiaohe anxiously blocked the door, ignoring the transvestite's surprised face, she kneeled in front of Little County Princess.
"Little County Princess, help me. My father was tricked into prison by someone, he is truly innocent and wronged. County Princess, help me get my dad out, and I'll be free of all your clothes in the future. "
After she finished her sentence, she was afraid that the nobleman in front of her would run away. The crabapple was stunned for a moment, then followed suit and kneeled down.
Little County Princess raised his pretty eyebrows, "What did your father do? Since you are wrongly accused, County Government Office will naturally return your father's innocence. What are you begging me for? "
It was only then that Duan Xiaohe told her about the matter with the Duan Clan's father. When she mentioned the wealthy merchant, she saw Little County Princess frown.
"Do you know who that rich businessman is?"
Duan Xiaohe shook her head.
The Little County Princess sneered, "I have heard of this case. Privately excavating a silver mine is a huge crime, and it is even more serious if you don't report it. Do you know who that rich businessman is? Those were the remnants of the previous dynasty's lackeys. In this case, your dad won't be able to come out. "
Remnant of the previous dynasty?
The emperor of Great Chong had only been sitting on the dragon throne for two years and had already hung up, leaving behind his only son, who was able to rule the world and inherit the throne. This young emperor might be young, but he was also powerful. If he failed to make peace with the officials of the previous dynasty, he would kill them all, causing everyone to feel anxious.
Those old officials were discussing about taking back the mountain and rivers in private, and thus, they had done quite a few things in private. The little emperor was angry. The consequences would be severe, and the remnants of the previous dynasty would be in danger.
In this way, there really seemed to be no room for discussion.
"But my father was innocent, I already let my mother go in to ask. He didn't report it because that wealthy businessman threatened them and said that if this matter were to be leaked, their families would all die!" My father worked hard in the mountains, and even though they didn't get any wages, they still tried to help hide the fact that they committed such a heinous crime. County Princess, only you can help them with this matter! "
The Little County Princess looked at her solemnly. "How come I haven't heard of these things before? I don't even know what's going on in Mingan Prefecture. Your mother is probably just spouting nonsense."
Duan Xiaohe was neither humble nor arrogant, "Go and find out what kind of character this County Princess is. My father and the others are all so soft on him, maybe that county didn't even want to listen to these explanations. The villagers of Fujiang Village had all gone to the Mingan County to beg a few times, but were unable to go in to see their relatives after giving them the money. This time, I gave half of the money County Princess paid my mother and only then did my mother clear up the relationship and ask my father. County Princess, your identity is different. You just need to say a single word and my father and all the villagers will be able to come out. "
"When she got to the point where she was emotionally moved, she even started to cry." Just thinking about it, a day's salary was like a pie dropped from the sky. "Although I'm married, I still have my younger brother and sister at home. Last time when I went home, I happened to see my mother sell my sister for money to save my father. My father had no choice but to believe in such a good thing …"
Begonia also began to cry, very pitiful.
The Little County Princess was moved. He thought for a moment and said, "You get up first. I'll go and ask about this first."
Duan Xiaohe knew the seriousness of the situation, she also knew that she shouldn't push too hard on this matter, she didn't have the qualifications to push him. If Little County Princess only said this half-heartedly, then it was because her father's fate was not good. If Little County Princess was concerned, that would be for the best.
After sending off the Little County Princess, Begonia collapsed on the ground. Duan Xiaohe pulled her up and wiped her face. The two sat there like that.
After a long time, she finally remembered that she had to take out the money bag that was on her body for Begonia to see, "Do you think this money bag's embroidery is good?"
The Begonia looked at it and nodded, "The stitches are fine and the color of the flower is quite suitable for embroidery. "Where did you buy it?"
Duan Xiaohe placed the bag on the table, and said resentfully: "I gave it to you as a gift on the day of the begging ceremony."
"How can the Third Brother Liu accept this?" Begonia was surprised, her reaction just happened to confirm Duan Xiaohe's thoughts back then, was that woman blind!
"Liu San also said that he was married. That young lady was still not giving it to him at Stronghold, and I saw his just in time. He is truly annoyed. I was wondering if I could persuade this girl to come to my shop and help the next time I met his. Just how long will it take for you to tire yourself all by yourself? Since you said that she was good at embroidery, he should have the ability to do so. "
The transvestite was stunned, "Aren't you afraid of her getting close to the water tower? Since Third Brother Liu already said that he would return the marriage with her to her, how could there be such an unreserved girl? Do you really want to stay in the shop with this kind of people? "
Duan Xiaohe had been conflicted ever since she had thought about it. What if Liu San was not resolute enough and was seduced by the young lady? But she really did like that girl's cooking.
"Forget it, let's talk if we meet again. Let's open up the shop first."
The other girls came over one after another to collect their clothes and paid in satisfaction, filling their wallets in an instant. Someone said that he wanted the two of them to go home and cook for the old lady. Duan Xiaohe then said that she had to prepare to open a shop as of late and would not do it for the time being. However, he could give them a discount after the store was opened.
After sending away the last employer, Duan Xiaohe divided half of the money to Begonia. Begonia push silver back, said that opening a shop is money, let her keep first, wait till later to give her. In any case, if she were to expand her business in the future, how could she be afraid of losing money?
The two of them left the tavern and walked around on the streets, coincidentally meeting Liu San and Liu Wang. Gou Zi saw that the things inside the county were extremely rare, Duan Xiaohe saw that he was staring at the candy man, and bought one for him and passed it over. Since the dog refused, the crabapple was coaxed there.
Liu Wang suddenly said: "It's too expensive to get a shop in the county, do you want to go and take a look?"
The owner pointed to the shop opposite and said, "There's a cheap shop on the other side and its location is also good. However, it was tricked out this morning, so you guys came a little too late."
He followed the grandpa's hand and saw a person jump out of the shop. The person shook off the dust on his clothes, and even fanned himself flirtatiously with a folding fan.
