Zhou Banxia didn't want to laugh at first, but couldn't hold it back.

She was definitely not being flattered by this guy!

"Okay, just follow your plan."

Get it!

Seeing her walking out, Gu Wenxuan knew that he was going to get props for himself. Well, it was Pearl and Caitong. He quickly put down his chopsticks and followed.

Zhou Banxia opened the door on one side of the cloakroom, pulled out a cardboard box from the bottom floor, and placed it directly on the carpet for Gu Wenxuan to pick out some pearls.

Speaking of the pearls in this carton, it was the second year of extreme hot weather and drought. Gu Wenxuan’s old classmate who cultivated pearls knew that she sold medicinal materials and medical equipment. When he came to ask for help and asked her to help introduce a drug dealer, Gu Wenxuan paid for it with his own money. A treasure in one part.

Over the past few years, the pearl powder has basically been used up.

However, these loose beads were not moved much like the pearl jewelry, and even the vacuum packaging bags were intact.

"Would you like to find those antique pearl jewelry as well?"

"It's not necessary, no matter how antique it is, it will be full of flaws." Gu Wenxuan shook his head and continued to pick out a bag of loose beads about the size of his index finger. The size was not too shocking.

Then he selected twenty or thirty more precious black pearls and pink pearls and put them into several purses of different sizes handed over by Zhou Banxia.

Zhou Banxia 'moved' to the master bedroom bed and handed him several boxes of dark-colored eyeglasses that she found.

As for brown that is close to black, or brown, it’s up to you.

After all, it's not a light-colored one. It's enough to be regarded as a foreign race and not worthy of the waistline information.

On the contrary, when it comes to taking action, it is up to him to decide how to act according to the situation.

Gu Wenxuan laughed.

That's enough!

Time was limited, so they even had lunch in advance, so the two of them didn't waste any more time.

Before noon, I rented a carriage and rushed to the back streets with almost a car full of New Year gifts.

That is, behind the big mansion of Gaofu in the west of the city, in the alley where the servants live, the second uncle Liandong's house.

It is said that it is a street where servants of the world live, but because the people living around it are either the big and small stewards of the wealthy family of Shixun, or the branches of various houses, the family wealth is richer than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, in the alleyways where few outsiders come and go on weekdays, although the shops are small, they are very close. In addition to accommodation, there is everything to eat, drink and wear.

As a result, the shop here has become more prosperous.

When we arrived at the alley where Second Uncle Lonicera's house was, there were so many people coming and going that the carriage almost couldn't get in.

And because the store has connections with various governments, there is no shortage of backers, and there is no shortage of government officers to patrol the areas adjacent to the rich and powerful. Even the scoundrels with a little discernment dare not cause trouble here.

This was also one of the reasons why Zhou Banxia planned to come to Fucheng at the beginning and did not want to personally deliver New Year gifts.

She wants to show up here, and many people will know her.

Even though Xiao Banxia was just a maid, she was also a maid who rarely left the mansion in a year. In the area behind the Gaofu mansion, almost all the wives from the branch of the Gaofu mansion knew her.

Probably because the little girl is very good at being a good person.

No matter on weekdays or on New Year's Day, when the wife of the other party paid greetings to the old lady, she never treated anyone differently because of her favor, but instead served her with more attentiveness.

As long as it doesn't harm the old lady's interests and she can help with a few words of kindness, she never refuses or adds jealousy. She is a well-known honest and kind-hearted little bun.

So much so that even the old lady's concubine's granddaughter-in-law knew that she was being made difficult by outsiders, so she could just cry to her.

As for the concubine, forget about it. The little girl never interacts with the concubine.

Even if she goes out from the old lady's yard to be the aunt to her legitimate son and grandson, the little girl doesn't know anyone. If anyone dares to send a maid to look for her, she will go to the old lady.

Of course, the most important point is that everyone relies on their own minds to make a living. How can you not see the meaning of the old lady clearly saying not to be bullied even if the little girl leaves the house? "Girl, Miss Pinellia ternata? It's Miss Pinellia ternata. Mother, Miss Pinellia ternata is here."

Listen!

This can be seen from the fact that even Lonicera's little cousin dare not call her sister.

Zhou Banxia Renjun couldn't help but chuckle, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Aunt Rendong coming out quickly.

"girl--"

"Second Aunt." Zhou Banxia's mouth and hands reacted faster than his brain.

It can be seen how perfect the muscle memory was inherited, and she almost shocked herself.

He stretched out his hand to hold Second Aunt Rendong, "Didn't you tell me that you can just call me Banxia? You're being polite to me again."

Second Aunt Lonicera smiled honestly, "I'm used to it."

This person was an honest person, and because she was too honest, her husband's family was afraid that she would be taken advantage of by someone who wanted to serve the master, so they never let her work in the house as an errand.

Zhou Banxia did not embarrass her, and while the coachman was carrying New Year's gifts into the yard, he quickly introduced Gu Wenxuan first, and then explained his intention.

"...It has marked the annual gift for whom, but I still have to make a hard trip for you and my second uncle, so I won't go into the house to pay my respects to the third lady."

"This, this -" Second Aunt Rendong rubbed her hands, "This is no good. Girl, you are getting married as a New Year's gift, and the third lady will definitely come to you for a gift in return."

"Okay, it's settled. The car is waiting for us outside, and we have to go to the banquet." Zhou Banxia took advantage of her unpreparedness and immediately took two steps back and left.

"Girl, wait a minute. I'll do as you say for the New Year's gift to the house, but for the New Year's gift to Lonicera, you have to tell me where you and the young master live."

"Inn. Keep your voice down, otherwise you won't be able to leave if someone hears you. I still have to make an appointment, and I'm almost late. Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow."

Seeing Zhou Banxia getting into the carriage as if he was running for his life, Gu Wenxuan almost burst into laughter, but he found the right person to hand him over to, so someone else grabbed his sleeve and ran away.

It's not that I don't want to grab her sleeve, it's that I don't dare.After the carriage had gone a long way, Zhou Banxia shook his head and chuckled, patting Gu Wenxuan to signal to pay more attention to this street.

For the next action, if she was followed by someone and she couldn't provide support, she could just find a tailor shop here and escape through the back door.

Not to mention the scoundrels who dare not cause trouble here, even Zhao Laosan himself does not dare to act recklessly here.

Gu Wenxuan nodded knowingly.

When the carriage left this area and ran south, and was about to reach Yaxing in the south of the city, he asked the carriage driver to stop, paid the fare, and walked.

Just as Zhou Banxia was familiar with the backstreets of Gaofu Mansion, he also had a very deep memory of the south of the city.

After walking for a while, I found an alleyway that was less traveled by people.

By virtue of the geographical location, at the end of the turning alley, Zhou Banxia tacitly brought him into the space together.

After some disguises, even the mule cart was brought out.

As Zhou Banxia huddled in the carriage, Gu Wenxuan drove to Yahang.

When they arrived at Yahang, Gu Wenxuan went in alone to buy someone.

As expected, I found a young and middle-aged father-son pair, and paid 18 taels of silver to buy them.

When they came out again, the father and son changed into servant clothes from foot to head.

Gu Wenxuan got into the carriage, and his father and son drove to Zhenhai Escort Agency, which was across the street.

Here, Gu Wenxuan went in, hired two guards, and rented a carriage.

Then there was a carriage in front and a mule cart in the back heading to the Zhao family's pawn shop in the east of the city.
