Wealth and glory seek stability

Caiyun turned around and took out a medicine bag from the storage compartment. "I saw Sister Caisang take the medicine bag from here before. Laixi, come and see if this is it?"

Lai Xi poked the charcoal fire out of boredom, "It should be. I can't read either, so don't take the wrong one. It would be bad if you make the wrong one. Otherwise, we should wait for Sister Caisang to come back."

Jian Xi walked forward. The words "An Shen Soup" were clearly written on the medicine package. "Caiyun, this is called An Shen Soup. If you know how to make it, make it quickly. The Madam just had a quarrel with the Third Master. She is not feeling well right now. There is no one available in the room. When I see Sister Caisang, ask her to come back quickly."

Caiyun is usually very hardworking and soon found the person who was boiling medicine and started to get busy.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go look for Sister Caisang."

Caiyun was too busy to look back and just said "hmm" softly.

Jian Xi returned to her residence, remembered the purse that Qian had given her as a reward, and dug out it.

There was a magpie embroidered on the purse. When it was opened and fell on the table, there were four silver ingots inside, each weighing two taels.

Get rich!

This would be enough to cover her monthly salary for two years.

Qian is really generous.

If she were to receive such rewards every day, she would really become a wealthy woman.

Jian Xi took out all her belongings and placed them on the table.

A gold bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings, a gold ring with a ruby, four silver ingots and three hundred and fifty copper coins.

In total, it is about fifteen taels of silver.

Take out the pearl earrings and gold ring and put them on, and put the rest in a cloth bag.

This room is still not safe.

But this is all I can do for now. When I have money in the future, I will definitely buy a house of my own.

A few days later, Baili Yanhua joined the army as Shen Nanxing said, but he concealed his identity and changed his name to Bai Hua.

Shen Nanxing sent a message to Jian Xi, and was enlisted in the army. Because of the relationship with the Baili family, Shen Nanxing was able to escape from slavery.

Originally, Xia Shi didn't want such an uncontrollable person to follow Baili Yanhua, but Jian Xi gave Shen Nanxing some advice.

Shen Nanxing confessed to Xia that he had a younger sister living in the mansion, and only then did Xia feel relieved.

Jian Xi sighed that it would be difficult for her to leave the house in the future, and she hoped that Shen Nanxing could do well. This was also the only thing she could do for Shen Nanxing.

"Jian Xi, you take a rest today. Come with me out of the house. The Madam needs to buy some things in her room."

"Sister Bihen, I'll be right there."

As a third-class maid in the palace, Jian Xi was given one day of rest every month. She was unfamiliar with the place and had never left the palace.

Bi Hen took Jian Xi out of a corner door of the palace with familiarity.

"I brought you out today mainly because the book that Madam likes to read is out of stock. I used to buy it, but from now on, you will be the one to do it."

"Sister, I understand."

The capital city is indeed worthy of its reputation, with various buildings full of ancient charm.

Bi Hen took Jian Xi to a busy street.

"There's a market today, so it's going to be extra busy. Let's go to the Moxiang Pavilion in front to buy some books."

"I listen to my sister."

Moxiang Pavilion has two floors, and as soon as you enter the door you will see a wide variety of books.

Bihen and the shopkeeper of Moxiang Pavilion were familiar with each other. "Shopkeeper, do you have any new books recently?"

The shopkeeper was counting flies in the store. When he saw a regular customer, he walked out of the counter and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Bihen, these are the latest books. Please take a look."

Bi Hen picked up a book, flipped through it briefly, and threw it on the counter with a bang.

"Boss, are you kidding me? I've bought all of these before. What the hell are these? They're just a few stories about talented men and beautiful women. Do you have any new books? I want new books!"

Bihen's ferocious look was completely different from her usual sweet and pretty self, and Jian Xi was stunned.

Can it still be like this? ? ?

In April, the spring breeze was warm and the shopkeeper's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Miss Bihen, I would never cheat you! This is indeed the latest book in the capital. Even the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Qi bought it from our store. Take a look. This book "Legend of Dongling" is also very good. It has the best sales recently."

Jian Xi did not interrupt, but her hands were not idle as she flipped through the books that the shopkeeper had collected.

Among them is "A Strange Fate of Fortune" which I just read to Xia a few days ago.

Bi Hen bargained with the shopkeeper and finally found five books among dozens of them. He took out the silver and put them on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, please put these books here on the counter. I'll come back to get them in an hour."

The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw the silver, "Okay, I'll pack it for Miss Bihen right away."

Bi Hen turned around and introduced Jian Xi to the shopkeeper, "From now on, she will be the one to buy the storybooks. Her name is Jian Xi. You can't fool her. Our master dotes on her very much.

If he is fooling around, just tell the master directly and ask the housekeeper to come and have a good talk with the shopkeeper. ” The second half of the sentence was said to Jian Xi.

The shopkeeper felt bitter. The capital was full of powerful people, and even if a brick was thrown at them, they would be people he could not afford to offend.

"Hello, Miss Jian Xi." Jian Xi was flattered and bowed.

However, she knew that the shopkeeper was afraid of the consequences, and what really frightened him was the Wu'an Palace behind them.

"Miss Bihen, what are you talking about? Even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to go against the Wu'an Palace."

Bi Hen snorted coldly and walked straight out of Mo Xiang Pavilion, and Jian Xi hurriedly followed.

"I'm going to buy some jewelry and fabrics in a while. I finally got out, so you can go and take a look. We'll meet at the entrance of Moxiang Pavilion in an hour."

"Yes, sister."

Jian Xi had long wanted to go shopping on her own, so when she went out she took a purse and put five taels of silver in it.

Of course, the happiest thing for women is shopping!

Now is the Xuanyuan Dynasty. In Jian Xi's memory, there has never been such a dynasty in the history of the Chinese nation. This is an imaginary era.

Street vendors kept shouting their wares, and she walked to a bun stall.

"Boss, how much is the bun?"

"Two cents each, how many do you want?"

"I want two!"

"okay!"

Jian Xi paid and took the bun.

The buns are filled with shepherd's purse and meat, with more vegetables than meat, and a smell of lard.

"Little girl, are my buns delicious? This stall was passed down from my father's generation."

Jian Xi's mouth was full of buns, and she just gave a thumbs up.

Finally swallowed it.

"Boss, six more, pack it up!"

Jian Xi waved her hand and prepared to take a few for each of the little girls in the room.

The boss responded loudly: "Okay! Six meat buns in a pack." His men were not idle either. They took out a piece of oil paper to wrap the buns, strung them with a hemp rope and handed them to Jian Xi.
