Start Six Maids

Chu Ci asked curiously, "You came out to work at such a young age?"

"Where are your father and mother?"

Shi Liang lowered his head slightly and said, "My father and mother left when my sister and I were very young."

Chu Ci was taken aback when he heard the words, "Sorry."

Shi Liang shook his head, looked at Chu Ci and said with a smile, "It's okay."

"My sister and I are used to it."

Chapter 411

On the main road of Xiancheng, the carriage was walking unhurriedly.

Chu Ci sat on the shaft of the car, looking at the young man with green features in front of him.

"You have a younger sister? How old is it?"

Speaking of his younger sister, Shi Liang seemed to be shining brightly.

"My younger sister is seven years old, her name is Shi Yue."

"Isn't it nice to hear?"

Chu Ci nodded, and said with a smile, "The bright moon shines among the pine trees, and the clear spring stone flows upwards."

"It's a nice name."

Looking at Shi Liang, Chu Ci said aloud, "I guess your sister must be pretty too."

Shi Liang smiled and rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "Of course!"

"My sister will definitely be the most beautiful woman in the future."

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang and asked aloud, "Your sister is still so young, is it safe to leave her alone at home?"

A look of worry flashed in Shi Liang's eyes, and he reluctantly nodded and said, "My sister is taken care of by a neighbor, so she is safe."

"Actually, I also want to stay with my sister at home, but..."

Seeing Shi Liang's expression changed, Chu Ci asked aloud, "What's wrong?"

Shi Liang pursed his lips and continued, "It's just that my sister was sick a while ago."

"I need to make money to buy medicine for my sister!"

Chu Ci was startled when he heard the words, and then said aloud, "How much is the difference? I can give it to you."

Shi Liang looked at Chu Ci with gratitude, shook his head and said, "No need."

"I have already saved money to buy medicine."

A smile appeared on Chu Ci's face, and he said, "I can't see that you are quite powerful."

"Is this money you earned as a hire?"

Shi Liangliang nodded and said, "Most of them are, and some of them are earned from doing odd jobs."

Chu Ci looked at Shi Liang and said aloud, "I went all the way south from Shengjing City and passed through many towns."

"But I have never seen a guide like you."

"Only there are guides in Xian City, and they are all young people who are about your age."

"Could it be that you came up with this idea?"

Shi Liang nodded, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"Well, I figured it out."

"Because of Xiancheng's geographical location, there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going from foreign merchants."

"Xiancheng has been expanded several times, and the scale is much larger. These out-of-town merchants and pedestrians can't figure out the direction."

"In the beginning, I also led the way for free, earning some rewards, and then gradually developed into a hired guide."

A strange color flashed in Chu Ci's eyes.

For a boy of thirteen or fourteen to think of such a way to make money, it is already very powerful.

"Those guides who are the same age as you, they also figured it out by themselves?"

Shi Liang shook his head and said, "No, I told them."

"Why?" Chu Ci asked curiously, "If you didn't tell them, wouldn't your income be much higher?"

Shi Liang scratched his head and said with a smile, "Those people are all good friends of mine, and life at home is difficult."

"It's better for them to improve their lives than to make me more money."

Hearing this, Chu Ci showed a smile on his face, looked at Shi Liang and said, "You are a good boy."

"I will live in Xiancheng for a while."

"If you have trouble, you can come to me."

Shi Liang nodded heavily when he heard the words, "I see, thank you sir!"

Shi Liang knew that Chu Ci was a capable person.

Shi Liang was naturally happy to accept Chu Ci's kindness.

The carriage drove along the street, and soon came to a bustling street.

The long street is next to a clear river, and a row of weeping willows are planted beside the river.

The breeze blows, the soft wicker swings back and forth, and the scenery is very pleasant.

In front of an attic near the river, two cars stopped.

Appeal!

The coachman reined in the horse's reins and jumped off the shaft.

"My lords, the Moon Tower is here!"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Chu Ci and the others stepped down.

Shi Liang pointed to the exquisite and gorgeous attic in front of them, and said, "My lord, this is Wangyue Tower."

"The best restaurant and inn in the whole city."

Chu Ci looked up, nodded and said, "Come on, let's go in."

Several people stepped into the Moon Tower, and a beautifully dressed maid greeted them.

"Welcome a few distinguished guests!"

The maid blessed her body and said softly, "Would you like to dine or stay in the hotel?"

Chu Ci said aloud, "Dining and staying in the hotel."

The maid's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that this is a big customer!

"Several distinguished guests, please follow me."

The maid led Chu Ci and the others to the counter, and said to the shopkeeper behind the counter, "Several guests want to stay in the shop."

The shopkeeper took a look at Chu Ci and the others, then said with a smile, "What kind of room do you want to live in?"

"The guest rooms in Wangyue Tower are divided into three classes, A, B, and C."

"Class A is the highest, Class B is next, and Class C is the third."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and said, "The best room!"

"Three rooms!"

Chu Ci shared a room with Leng Ruxue, and Zui Taoist shared a room with Di Gongming and Li Chongming.

Yan Ruoyu shares a room with Hong Lian's two daughters.

When the shopkeeper heard about Chu Ci, he directly ordered three top-level guest rooms, and his face became even happier.

"no problem!"

"Three first-class rooms!"

Looking at Chu Ci, the shopkeeper asked aloud, "Can the guest order some food?"

Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "Look for Zhang Yazuo, let's have something to eat first."

"okay!"

The shopkeeper echoed, and said to the maid leading the way, "Chunliu, take a few distinguished guests to the private seat."

"Yes, shopkeeper!"

The maid nodded, motioned to Chuci and the others and said, "Guests, please follow me."

Following the maid, Chu Ci and the others climbed up to the third floor.

The environment on the third floor is better, and the tables and chairs are not crowded.

There is a screen between each dining table, making it more private and quiet.

The maid brought Chu Ci and the others to an elegant seat by the window.

"Several distinguished guests, please sit down, what do you want to eat?"

The maid gave Chu Ci a folded menu.

Chu Ci opened the menu and took a look at it, then ordered a few signature dishes.

"Master Di, what do you want to eat?"

Chu Ci handed over the menu to Di Gongming.

After Di Gongming took the menu and opened it for a moment, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Good guy!

The above price is really expensive.

After ordering two home-cooked dishes, Di Gongming returned the menu to Chu Ci.

"That's all, that's about it."

Chu Ci nodded, and said to the maid beside him, "Serve these dishes first."

"A few more jugs of good wine!"

"Okay, a few distinguished guests, please wait a moment!"

The maid nodded and turned to leave.

Tea was already prepared on the desk, Yan Ruoyu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chu Ci.

"Young master, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

"Thank you ma'am."

Chu Ci took the teacup and took a sip.

Pushing open the window, the wet steam hits the face.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Chu Ci couldn't help saying, "Xiancheng has changed a lot in recent years."

"Look at the streets and houses, there are obvious signs of widening and renovation."

"Even this river course is cleaned up by someone from time to time."

Hearing this, Di Gongming stroked his beard and pondered.

"If King Xian did all of this, then King Xian would be a wise prince."

"I'm afraid..."

Di Gongming was silent for a moment, then said in a low tone, "What King Xian has changed is not just the livelihood of the people in Xiancheng!"

Chu Ci looked at Di Gongming, and said in a deep voice, "Master Di, what do you mean, you need to investigate the forces secretly cultivated by King Xian?"

Di Gongming nodded and said, "We are investigating the case in Xiancheng, and we can't get around King Xian no matter what!"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without imperil!"
