Chapter 792 Mochou Pavilion

Chapter 793 Mochou Pavilion

After several days of investigation, Ah Shou and his people finally found some clues.After Sheng Xi heard the news, she rushed over immediately.

"Where is the person?" Sheng Xi came to the edge of the Zhang River, approached Ah Shou who was dressed as a fishmonger, and asked quietly while looking at the fish.

"That boat on the other side." Ah Shou quickly raised his eyes and looked in one direction, "That boat has been selling some things from other places every four months since two months ago. In the past two days, the people below saw on the boat Something coming from the east, and there seems to be some other gray transactions.”

The foreign lands mentioned by Ashou refer to countries other than Li State, and the east side refers to the place where the Japanese are located.

Supposedly, transactions between countries were normal, but not long after the Tatar invasion, Emperor Qiwen ordered the border to be temporarily closed due to his limited military strength and the fact that other neighboring countries were eyeing the country of Li, and no coastal trade was allowed.The specific time for opening up trade has not yet been determined.Now that the Japanese invasion is getting more and more serious, I am afraid that the coastal areas will not be opened to the public in a short time.

It's just that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Luojing is still far away from the coast. There will always be bold people who take advantage of the officials not paying attention and engage in smuggling.However, this kind of thing only occurs in coastal areas. Yuzhou is indeed inland, and the government is very strict about smuggling. The fact that things from the east are transmitted here shows that it is abnormal.

"I have a relationship with the cook on the boat, and I will deliver fish to the boat at noon tomorrow. Sister, I will go in and take a look tomorrow." Ah Shou said again.

Sheng Xi pointed at one of the fish and said, "Help me clean this one up." After a pause, she said, "No, I'll take a look."

"But sister, you..." Ah Shou subconsciously looked at Sheng Xi's abdomen, then hurriedly moved away.Di Ting knew about Sheng Xi's pregnancy immediately, and he did not dare to let Sheng Xi take the risk.

Sheng Xi said, "Don't worry, I'm just going in for a stroll like other beauties."

Ah Shou: "..."

Sheng Xi raised her eyes and looked at him: "Why, sister, I'm not beautiful?"

Ah Shou: "Beautiful! But sister, you..."

"This is a place for eating and playing. Why don't they let me in for a meal? It's exactly fourteen today, right? It's just right. Maybe I can buy some good things inside."

Sheng Xi is not opposed to similar transactions. After all, the final result of closing the country is to be passively beaten.However, opening up does depend on national conditions and timing. When the time comes, it will naturally open up.

Sheng Xi took out a few coins from his sleeves and handed them to Shou: "I'll come and get them later."

"Sister!" Ah Shou wanted to persuade her again, but she saw that Sheng Xi had already stepped forward and turned around.

He had no choice but to shout behind her: "Don't worry, girl, I will help you pack it up!"

Sheng Xi wears her hair like a girl when she goes out for convenience. She is under 20 years old, so there is nothing wrong with Ah Shou calling her a girl.

The flower boat has a fancy name, "Mochou Pavilion". It is the largest boat on the Zhang River, with a total of four floors.Among them were kiln ladies and waiters, and there was even a place to eat. Therefore, both men and women boarded the boat.

Ah Shou said that there were constant comings and goings in Mochou Pavilion every day. Sheng Xi looked at the bustling crowd and speculated that there would be more people buying and selling today.

Sheng Xi asked Xiaocao behind to follow her, and looked up at the elegantly decorated Mochou Pavilion, thinking to herself that this time she was really going to visit the Flower House.

Sheng Xi closed her eyes and pulled her husband's face out of her mind to remember it. When she opened her eyes again, the master and servant stepped onto Mochou Pavilion one after another.

The boss of Mochou Pavilion is also smart. When male customers come, the female clerk will greet them, and when female customers come, the male clerk will take care of them.When a handsome waiter saw Sheng Xi and the other two, he immediately raised the corner of his mouth, showed a big laugh, and shouted to Sheng Xi: "Miss, welcome to Mochou Pavilion, how many are there?"

Sheng Xi said: "You two."

"Miss, please come inside!" The waiter took half a step forward and led Sheng Xi and the two inside. At the same time, he did not forget to ask, "Miss, do you want to enjoy the food first and then see the beautiful scenery, or do you want to enjoy the food and the beautiful scenery together?"

Sheng Xi asked curiously: "What's the difference?"

When the waiter saw him smiling like this, he said, "Looking at the young lady, it's probably your first time coming to our Mochou Pavilion, isn't it? Then why not let the waiter help you choose?"

Sheng Xi raised his eyebrows and nodded after a moment: "Okay, then you get to choose."

So, not long after Sheng Xi entered the private room and sat down, a charming-looking young man in a light gauze with loose long hair walked in from outside.

Sheng Xi turned his head and was stunned.When Xiaocao on the side saw it, he couldn't help but turned around and covered his face with an "Oh!"

Sheng Xi: "..."

"Ahem, what..."

The charming man's eyes passed over Sheng Xi's body without leaving a trace. Seeing this, he chuckled and said, his tone was like the entangled dodder, and he was actually more charming than the other person: "It seems that the man did not deceive the slave family. The young lady is really the third one." Came here once. I wonder what your surname is, Miss? My family name is Kuyue."

With that said, the waiter who called himself Ku Yue didn't wait for Sheng Xi to say anything, then walked directly to the opposite side of her, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for her.

"Miss, please use it." Kuyue pushed the tea cup over.

Sheng Xi glanced at her quickly, but before she could say anything, Xiao Cao turned around with a red face and whispered to Sheng Xi: "Miss, let's, let's go! Here, Here...don't forget your family, your family!"

Xiaocao bit out the words "family" hard, really wanting to urge Sheng Xi to leave here.She didn't expect that Sheng Xi would bring her here. If she had known it, if she had known it, she would have stopped Sheng Xi from entering even if she was punished!
"Miss, where are your family members?" Do you still remember your identity?You are the wife of the current chief minister!A role model for thousands of Li girls, you must never fall!

Although Li State did not prohibit the existence of private brothels and brothels, it had strict restrictions on court officials.Xiaocao didn't know if the law also restricted the spouses of court officials, but even if it didn't, she still didn't want Sheng Xi to contaminate the people here.How good you are!He has good abilities and looks even better. He is several times more handsome than the man named Kuyue in front of him. This Kuyue is simply incomparable to you!

"Miss, harmony, harmony!" Xiaocao was so anxious that she could only use these words to remind Sheng Xi, but she did not dare to directly state her married status.Because Sheng Xi had told her before coming here that today she should just treat her as a young girl who has not yet left the court, and she must not let her feet be exposed.

Xiaocao knew nothing about Sheng Xi's plan, and her reaction confirmed that this was indeed their first time here, which was also true and believable.

Sheng Xi smiled softly and signaled Xiaocao to calm down, but his face showed even greater curiosity.

Seeing this, Na Kuyue took the opportunity and said: "In life, you always have to judge something. If you follow the rules for a lifetime, what's the point of living in the end? Miss, don't you think so?"

"Hey, don't seduce my lady again!" Xiaocao finally couldn't bear it any more and started shouting at Kuyue.

Seeing her like this, Kuyue raised her lips and smiled, but she didn't mean to take any notice. She just asked Sheng Xi, "Miss, do you want to go with the slave family to see a new world that you have never seen before?"
