Chapter 264 To develop power
"Well...it's okay...I'm leaving...you take good care of him..." After saying that, he prepared to leave pitifully.
Huanxi pulled her sleeve and asked:
"You came to me just to ask me?"
"hold head high……"
"I'm fine. Since I'm here, why don't you eat something later?"
Hongying quickly waved her hands and said:
"No, no, no, I'm leaving now. Doctor Shen, do you want to go back with me?"
Because the door to the guest room was wide open, Doctor Shen, who was sitting at the middle table, stood up and said:
"Since Master Xu is alright, it's time for me to leave, Miss Zhao. If you need anything, please come find me at Pang's."
Huanxi immediately understood what he meant, so she bowed and said:
"Thank you, Doctor Shen. I will visit you when I am done with my work these past two days."
"It's nothing. Her condition has passed. As long as she rests well, it's nothing serious."
"Thank you, Doctor Shen." Huanxi expressed her gratitude sincerely.
Doctor Shen also knew that what Xu Qingzhao needed most at this time was rest, and it was not appropriate for him to have too many people around him. It would be better to take the two children back to the Pang Mansion.
"Let's go, Miss. Xiaoliu."
"Hey... here she comes..." Hongying turned around reluctantly and looked at Huanxi.
"I'll come find you, Hongying, when I'm free. Please say thank you to Zhilu Shaohong for me~" Huanxi said.
"Okay~" After hearing this, Hong Yingcai jumped away.
"This girl...ah..." She walked into the house while shaking her head.
Xu Qingzhao looked at her with a smile on his face, and Huanxi didn't know what she was laughing at.
"What are you laughing at? Did you get rich?" Huanxi asked.
Xu Qingzhao smiled but said nothing, just staring at her with starry eyes.
"Are you hungry? Would you like some porridge?"
"I'm not hungry, I just want to see you more..."
"Do you think I can eat it? You've been in pain all night. Anyone else would have collapsed long ago, but you're still so energetic..."
"I'm fine, really."
Huanxi saw that she was just showing off, and only then did he realize it and look at her with heartache.
"You are in the capital...are you going back?" I wanted to ask what happened, but it was a bit inappropriate to ask at this time.
"I... want to go back..."
"Huh? Why do you want to go back? That place hurt you like this! Don't those people have any heart?"
"The emperor has made me Princess Ronghua. This is my compensation."
"I hurt you like this, and I'm giving you a title as compensation? Isn't this just a slap in the face followed by a sweet date?"
Huanxi felt a sense of crisis. If she had felt a little lucky before, now looking at Xu Qingzhao's appearance, she began to get anxious.
Once she becomes famous in the capital, she will be caught in the vortex of power. What can she do?
When Xu Qingzhao was imprisoned...what could she do?
Maybe she should win over some of her own forces, so that when that day really comes... they can come in handy.
He notified the waiter to bring some porridge upstairs. After the two of them had a simple meal, Qing Zhao fell asleep.
After telling her that he would be back at noon, he closed the door, left the inn, and headed straight for Shuxiangju.
The store had been cleaned spotlessly, and Huanxi was very satisfied. However, when she saw the dolls were all dressed in rags, Huanxi felt out of place.
She remembered that there was also a cloth shop on this street, but its business was not very good and it served the common people.
She walked over to the shopkeeper and told him that she wanted ready-made clothes. She threw ten taels of silver on the counter. The shopkeeper immediately took it with a smile on his face and happily went back to Shuxiangju to measure her size.
"Are you the owner of Shuxiangju?"
The shopkeeper came here and heard Huanxi giving orders, so he asked.
"Yes, we will be neighbors from now on. Please take good care of me, boss."
"No matter where you are, we are all on the same street. You should at least walk around more." The shopkeeper was thin. He took the ruler and measured everyone's size in no time.
After chatting for a while, he said that new clothes would be delivered in the afternoon. Since they were all made of cotton and linen, ten taels of silver was more than enough, so I happily let him go.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll come over tomorrow morning and we'll all have new clothes and everything."
Before leaving, he said to Yunchuan:
"Do you have any money on you?"
Yunchuan was stunned and nodded.
"There are many?"
"Twelve taels."
"That should be enough for a while. The account book is in the cabinet. It will be delivered by carrier pigeon this afternoon. Someone will teach you. There's nothing else to tell you."
Yunchuan saw her about to leave and reached out his hand to keep her, but she had already gone far away, so he took his hand back and said nothing more.
She walked quickly to the back door of Pang's Escort Agency and knocked, and it was Zhilu who opened the door.
"Hey, Miss Zhao, why are you here? Come in quickly, I thought you were some servant coming to make an appointment..."
Huanxi stepped in and said with a smile:
"Thank you two ladies for your hard work this month. I came here to settle your wages. Are you free?"
The implication is that they won't have to work so hard anymore.
"When you have time, when you have time, Shaohong even said that this amount of silver was too much. She kept it hidden every night for fear that it would leak out to you~"
When they walked into the two maids' room, Shaohong was keeping account books. When she saw Huanxi coming, she stood up and saluted.
"Miss Zhao, you're here. Come and sit down. I'm doing the accounts. Please take a look."
Shake your head happily, don't employ people you doubt.
These two girls follow Hongying, and she trusts them.
"No need, just tell me how much money you have this month."
"There are many customers who have made reservations this month. Each one pays five taels of silver, so the total is two hundred and eighty taels."
This number is correct. She also counts the numbers at home, and the number of people who came matches.
"Just give me two hundred and fifty taels, and the rest will be given to the two girls as hard work fee." Huanxi said with a smile.
You get paid for every job you do. Besides, this man is Hongying's confidant. Although it was said to be a loan, it wouldn't be good to be stingy.
"How can this be done? There are still thirty taels left! How can the two of us be worth so much silver?"
"It's worth it, ladies, relax. I need your help with something else. I'd be embarrassed to ask for your help if you don't."
Zhilu sat down and said embarrassedly: "Then Miss Zhao, just tell me, the two of us will definitely get it done."
"Look, I've opened my business and hired some employees. Practice makes perfect, so why don't you two go over there this afternoon to help teach them so I can take over Shuxiangju sooner."
"It's not that difficult, Miss Zhao, just leave it to us~"
"By the way, is Hongying here?" The two little girls were at home and didn't go out. I guess Hongying was at home too.
"Our young lady is out with the master on a convoy mission. She probably won't be back until the day after tomorrow. Miss Zhao, if you have anything to tell us, we can tell her when she returns."
Huanxi shook her head. She had only come to see her. She felt a little guilty for having dismissed her without a clear reason this morning. Since she wasn't home, she might as well do it next time.
"No need. I'll probably be in town when she comes back, so I'll come visit then. I was hoping you two could help me with what I just said. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
It was not safe to hold the two hundred and fifty taels, so Huanxi asked the two girls to give it to Hongying for safekeeping and he would come back to get it next time.
Then she started her busy journey...
