Start Six Maids

Chu Ci's face was calm, and thoughts appeared in his mind.

The moment Mrs. Dutong was excited when she saw Shi Liang was definitely not a coincidence!

Mrs. Dutong knows Shi Liang?

Or is Shi Liang very important to Mrs. Du Tong?

Concentrating on his thoughts, Chu Ci asked with a smile, "Madam wants to be our referrer?"

Madam Mei nodded slightly, and looked at the shopkeeper beside her.

"I guarantee that they will participate in the underground auction, can I?"

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard the words, then nodded and said, "Of course!"

"With Madam's guarantee, they can definitely participate in the underground auction."

"Come here, everyone!"

The shopkeeper walked to the golden nanmu shelf on the right wall, and turned the colorful glass bottle with his hands.

Ka Ka Ka Ka...

With the sound of the machine bracket, the wooden shelf slid aside, revealing a passage behind.

"A few, please!"

The shopkeeper stood by the aisle and gestured with his hand.

Mrs. Dutong nodded slightly, took the little girl's hand and walked in first.

After the two had walked a certain distance, Chu Ci and the others stepped up to follow.

Ka Ka Ka Ka...

The buzzer sounded, and the channel was slowly closed.

Bits of light shone, illuminating the entire passage.

Chu Ci looked up, but the light sources were shining pearls.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Chu Ci chuckled, "What a big show!"

Just the entrance passage is illuminated with luminous pearls, which shows how luxurious this underground auction is.

Chapter 418 Inexplicable favor

The passage to the underground auction is long.

Mrs. Mei took her adoptive daughter's hand and walked for a while before stopping.

Chuci and the others followed behind, and upon seeing this, they knew that Mrs. Dutong must have something to say.

"Madam, do you have something to ask?"

Chu Ci stepped forward and asked aloud.

Madam Mei nodded slightly, and continued to walk forward.

"Talk while you walk."

Chu Ci chuckled and followed.

Da da da···

Footsteps echoed in the passage.

After a moment of silence, Madam Mei spoke up.

"Isn't the young master from Xiancheng?"

Chu Ci nodded and said, "Ordinary merchants, come to Xiancheng to do some business."

Madam Mei continued to ask, "How do you feel about Xiancheng?"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Very good, very beautiful."

Madam Mei showed a smile on her face and said, "Yes, Xiancheng is very beautiful."

"Especially this cross street, it is even more to my liking."

After a pause, Madam Mei continued to ask, "How did you know about the underground auction?"

"You have to know that outside of Shizijie, even the locals in Xiancheng rarely know about it."

There was a strange look in Chu Ci's eyes, and he replied, "This little brother told me."

Chu Ci pointed at Shi Liang.

Madam Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her eyes fell on Shi Liang.

"Are you from the city?"

When Shi Liang heard Mrs. Mei's question, he was a little flattered and said, "Returning to Madam, I grew up in Xiancheng since I was a child."

Madam Mei looked at Shi Liang with a smile on her face.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Shi Liang!"

Madam Mei beckoned to Shi Liang, "Come closer and let me have a look."

Shi Liang was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously walked up to Mrs. Mei.

Mrs. Mei looked Shi Liang up and down, and said with a smile, "Not bad, he's still a handsome guy."

Shi Liang blushed when he heard this, stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

"Ha ha···"

Madam Mei chuckled for a while, and asked, "Shi Liang, who else is in your family?"

Shi Liang replied aloud, "It's me and my sister."

Madam Mei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Hello sister!"

"Shi Liang, your brother and sister support each other, life must be very hard, right?"

Shi Liang scratched his head and whispered, "It's okay."

Madam Mei pondered for a moment, then asked, "Would you like to work in the Dutong Mansion?"

"You and your sister can come."

Mrs. Mei took her adoptive daughter's wrist and said, "My daughter has no playmates since she was a child, and she is a bit withdrawn and lonely."

"If you brothers and sisters come to Dutong Mansion, it will happen to give my daughter a playmate."

Shi Liang didn't agree with Mrs. Mei's invitation.

Because Shi Liang also knew that the bigger the family, the more rules there would be.

If my brother and sister enter the Dutong Mansion, although the living conditions will improve a lot.

But you have to be cautious at all times, if you accidentally offend the master of the Dutong Mansion, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to beg for mercy!

"Feel sorry!"

Shi Liang said apologetically to Madam Mei, "My sister and I are living a very good life now, thank you Madam for your concern."

When Mrs. Mei heard Shi Liang's refusal, the smile on her face faded, and her expression gradually turned cold.

"Is it?"

"That's really a pity!"

Madam Mei said something in a regretful tone, then continued walking along the passage without saying a word.

After the tea time, Chu Ci and the others came to an empty hall.

The hall resembles a stepped structure.

The ground sank stepwise along the four sides, and finally a circular stone platform was left in the middle.

On the stepped steps, there are wooden tables and chairs.

At this moment, many people are already sitting in the seats, drinking tea and waiting for the auction to start.

Chu Ci and the others were about to find a place to sit down, but they were stopped by Mrs. Mei.

"My lord, if you don't mind, you can sit with me."

Mrs. Mei pointed to the wall on the right, where there was a man-made private room.

Chu Ci nodded, and followed Mrs. Mei to a private room.

The tables and chairs in the private room are complete, and the tea and fruits are also well prepared.

Through the window of the private room, one can see the situation on the stone platform very well.

"Let's eat something first."

Madam Mei pushed the tea and fruits to Chuci and the others, and said aloud, "The auction should start some time ago."

Leng Ruxue sat beside Chu Ci, picked up the teapot and poured Chu Ci a cup of tea.

Chu Ci picked up the teacup and began to taste it.

A strange look flashed in Madam Mei's eyes, and she beckoned Shi Liang to sit closer.

"Shi Liang, do you want to eat something too?"

Shi Liang sat beside Mrs. Mei, with a slightly reserved expression.

"Thank you ma'am."

Mrs. Mei looked at Shi Liang and asked aloud, "Shi Liang, what's your sister's name?"

Shi Liang replied, "Shi Yue, my sister's name is Shi Yue."

Madam Mei nodded and said with a smile, "Good name!"

"How old is your sister?"

Shi Liang replied, "Seven years old this year."

Madam Mei's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "That's great!"

"Huh?" Shi Liang looked at Mrs. Mei suspiciously.

Madam Mei was startled, and explained, "I mean, your sister is about the same age as my daughter."

"They should be able to play together."

Looking at Shi Liang, Madam Mei smiled and said, "Shi Liang, even if you don't go to work in the Dutong Mansion, you can still let your sister come to the mansion to accompany my daughter."

Shi Liang had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.

It's really unexpected that the dignified Miss Dutongfu would find a child from a poor family to play with.

Shi Liang couldn't refuse Madam Mei's kindness, so he nodded and replied, "Thank you Madam, I will visit my sister when her health improves."

"what?!"

Mrs. Mei seemed very surprised to hear that Shi Yue was sick, and hurriedly asked urgently, "Is your sister okay? What's wrong with her?"

"Did you hire a doctor? Do you have money to buy medicine?"

Shi Liang was surprised by how much Mrs. Mei cared about her sister.

"Thank you madam for your concern."

"My sister just feels a cold occasionally, and she has already consulted a doctor."

"I also saved money to buy medicine."

Madam Mei breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Shi Liang, if you have any difficulties, please let me know."

"Your sister... and you, there must be nothing wrong!"
