Small peasant girl in space: under the fence of the flower field

Chapter 313

Qingyan pouted and looked at Hua Xiaoqiao unhappy: "Miss, why don't you believe what I said? I didn't lie to you. What I said was the truth. Of course, the prince is also a good master, but you are different. .”

She didn't know how to explain it herself, and she always felt that the more she explained, the more something was wrong.

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't care too much about these things and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether I am better or who is better. The important thing is that you are more familiar with this Splendid City."

She just needs someone who is more familiar with Fairview City, and Qingyan must be very familiar with it after living in Fairview City for so many years.

Qingyan nodded and said: "The slave has been living in Jinxiu City, so if you have any questions, you can ask me, as long as I know, I will tell you."

This sentence was exactly what Hua Xiaoqiao needed, and she immediately asked overjoyed: "Then if I take you out, you must know where it is."

Qingyan still nodded.A little shy: "When the prince is away, we servants are very free. The steward treats us very well and doesn't restrict us too much, as long as we finish our own affairs, so we often hang out together. The servant is very familiar with it, if the lady wants to go there, just tell the servant, the servant will definitely not let the lady down."

These words completely made Hua Xiaoqiao feel better, she felt happy in her heart.

"Qingyan, follow me out tomorrow, take me around Jinxiu City, I have one thing to do."

First of all, the most important thing is to step on the spot, and it will take some time to find capable people. The shopkeepers and managers needed in various places need training. She decided that the first step is to select more suitable talents. The investment required to open a bank is the early stage. Some, and some working capital that needs to be used. Now she doesn't have much money, but that's not a problem. She plans to auction some precious flowers and plants by herself.

With all kinds of plans in mind, she is actually waiting for the step of execution. She knows that everything is not easy, and everything is difficult at the beginning. She feels that everything needs a good plan. As long as she works hard, no matter what the result is, she will not regret it.

After an early rest, Qingyan took her out of the palace the next day.

These two women have never been out in the palace, and today is the first time to go out and walk on the street. Hua Xiaoqiao always feels a little emotional, because she feels that the prosperity here is really not comparable to that of the capital. In terms of state affairs, Qin Mu and the others are really much stronger. Maybe this is the reason why the other party lost.

Qingyan followed Hua Xiaoqiao to introduce the nearby streets to Hua Xiaoqiao.

After walking for a long time, Hua Xiaoqiao asked, "Do you know where the nearest Tongbao Bank is?"

She has been walking for so long and still hasn't found a bank. It is inevitable that she has some doubts in her heart. This is Jinxiu City, it is impossible that there is no Tongbao Bank, and this happens to be the place where the most businessmen come and go. If the bank is not opened in these places, is it still in a more remote place? .

"Qingyan just now you said this is the most prosperous place in Splendid City?" She asked Qingyan suspiciously.

Qing Yan nodded seriously and said: "Yes, this is the most prosperous place in Jinxiu City. Miss, look at the terrain here. Firstly, the east gate is here, and secondly, there are many carriages coming and going here. The other shops are the most numerous and the biggest, and the slaves here are definitely the most prosperous place in Splendid City."

Hua Xiaoqiao saw the crowds coming and going on the street and the crowded carriages, so she believed what Qing Yan said.

"Qingyan, let's go to a teahouse nearby." The best place to inquire about news is a teahouse or a restaurant where there are many people. Generally speaking, most of the people gathered in a teahouse are people who are talking about things or just doing nothing. .

When Qing Yan heard that she was going to the teahouse, she hesitated: "Miss, are we really going to such a place? I heard that the people in the teahouse are very complicated."

When she said this, she looked at Hua Xiaoqiao with some fear, always worried that what she said wrong would make Hua Xiaoqiao angry.

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't mean to complain about Qingyan, but what she said last night was very clear, and she planned to repeat it again: "Qingyan, see if you promised me last night, no matter what you do, you must listen to me, right? ?”

Qingyan nodded, worried that Hua Xiaoqiao would chase her away, she quickly apologized: "Miss, I know I was wrong, I was a slave just now, so I don't want to talk too much, let's go to where the tea lady said to go."

She also felt that she was talking too much and only promised Hua Xiaoqiao not to talk too much last night.

Hua Xiaoqiao raised the corner of her mouth and did not blame Qingyan, but said: "If you want to follow me, you must get used to this kind of life. You must know that I am different from other women. I often show my face outside, which means what I do. It's something that other girls can't understand, and I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, you don't have to ask me about anything, you know? If you want to follow me, go, if you don't want to follow me, don't go, I won't force you .”

Although Hua Xiaoqiao wasn't very angry, Qing Yan could tell from Hua Xiaoqiao's words that Hua Xiaoqiao was actually a little angry.

"The servant girl knows that she made a mistake. It's all Qingyan's fault. I hope Miss can forgive Qingyan's unreasonableness." She said guiltily that there were many things she wanted to say but couldn't say.

Hua Xiaoqiao patted Qingyan's shoulder to comfort her: "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself, you know? I don't mean to blame you. Although there are many low-level people in the teahouse, it is still necessary to hear some news. I have to go to such a place. I am here to do business, so I will inquire more about the news. If you want to follow me, then follow me in. If you don’t want to follow me into the house, just wait here. I don't blame you and I don't blame you."

This is so obvious what else can Qingyan say.

"Miss, I will go in with you."

She is very firm. She has admired Hua Xiaoqiao since she knew what Hua Xiaoqiao does. Now that she has the opportunity to get so close to Hua Xiaoqiao, how can she be discouraged and compromise casually.

She felt that if she wanted to, she must have the momentum of Hua Xiaoqiao.

Seeing that Qingyan had gained courage, Hua Xiaoqiao walked ahead and led the way directly into the teahouse. As soon as she entered, Huaxiaoqiao knew why Qingyan was so surprised when she knew she was going to the teahouse. There was no woman in the teahouse at all. , there are only men in the entire lobby of the teahouse, and she and Qingyan look a little different when they enter.

"Xiao Er, bring me a pot of high-quality Junshan Yinzhen."

Hua Xiaoqiao said in a crisp voice, the shopkeeper who was greeting the guests and the shop waiter immediately made tea.

Hua Xiaoqiao found a table in the middle, and there was no intention of keeping a low profile under the table. She had to wait, and what she was waiting for was someone who wanted to send a message to come forward.

Qingyan standing aside made Hua Xiaoqiao feel uncomfortable, she said softly: "Sit down too and don't stand."

Qing Yan sat down with some uneasiness in her heart, then raised her head to look at Hua Xiaoqiao: "Miss, what shall we do next?"

Hua Xiaoqiao said indifferently: "We will wait without doing anything and listen to what everyone has to say."

If she wanted to inquire about the news, if she wanted to know what happened in the entire Fairview City, she needed to be quiet.

The waiter in the shop brewed tea and brought it over in a while.

Hua Xiaoqiao took out a gleaming ingot of silver and handed it to the waiter. The ten taels of silver weighed a lot. After receiving it, the waiter was stunned for a while before walking towards the counter.

Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts. Hua Xiaoqiao didn't look like an ordinary girl. No lady in Splendid City would come to the teahouse. I'm afraid those who came to the teahouse were some special ones. people.

Hua Xiaoqiao poured herself a cup of tea and slowly tasted it.

Qingyan always felt that everyone in the room was looking at them, the feeling of being stared at was not good.

Qing Yan said softly: "Miss, do we want..."

"Wait a minute." Hua Xiaoqiao picked up the teacup and drank it. The Junshan Yinzhen tasted very good, and she liked the tea fragrance of Junshan Yinzhen very much.

"I'm really sorry for not tasting this tea after I've come here. Drink it quickly. This cup of tea costs almost three hundred Wen."

Qing Yan was so surprised that she couldn't drink the tea cup: "Miss, don't scare me when you say that this cup of tea costs about [-] Wen."

Hua Xiaoqiao didn't scare Qingyan and said: "Why should I scare you? Totally worth the money."

Qingyan sipped nervously, thinking in her heart that this tea should not be wasted, after all it is so precious that it cannot be let down.

Before Hua Xiaoqiao drank half of the tea, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came over. The middle-aged man sat opposite Hua Xiaoqiao with a smile on his face.

Qing Yan immediately became vigilant: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man looked at the two with a smile and said, "Miss, what news do you want to know?"

Hua Xiaoqiao poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "How do you know that I'm here to inquire about news?"

The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Miss, if you didn't come here to inquire about news, there are so many people here, it's not a place where you can come here with your identity. Miss came here to inquire about some news. I can't help Miss, but I can help Miss only by inquiring about the news."

Hua Xiaoqiao took a sip of tea, winked at Qingyan and said, "Qingyan, wait for me at the side."

She doesn't really want Qingyan to know everything about her, she always feels a little awkward, so it's better to let Qingyan leave now.

Qingyan promised that Hua Xiaoqiao would listen to Hua Xiaoqiao in everything she came here, so now Hua Xiaoqiao does whatever she wants, she stood up without any objection and walked to an empty table.

The middle-aged man took a serious look at Qingyan, then turned around and said, "There is nothing in Jinxiu City that I don't know about."

Hearing the middle-aged man's name Hua Xiaoqiao felt it was funny, but he didn't expect the middle-aged man to call Bao inquiring.

"Then you mean you know everything." She felt that what Bao Da heard was not very credible.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the tea house. There is nothing I don't know. I know all the ladies in this city, and which ladies are waiting in the boudoir. I can tell you anything you want. Tell you."

Hua Xiaoqiao laughed and knew everything after inquiring. Being a human being fits her appetite.

"I want to know some gossip, but I don't know the price?"

She only spoke half of her words and looked at Bao to inquire. If the price was high, she would definitely not want to inquire about the news, but if the price was right, it would definitely be possible.

Bao inquired with a very serious explanation: "Miss also has to check what is the matter. The price of the big matter is different from the small matter. The key is to see what you want to know. I charge according to the size of the matter."

He is a businessman, although he is a little low-level, but he still makes money by opportunistically. There are industry rules in the industry, and he must explain it clearly to Hua Xiaoqiao.

Hua Xiaoqiao knew the rules when she came here to inquire about information. When she was in the capital, she often inquired about various information, so she knew that there was a fee for inquiring about information here.

"How do you determine whether a matter is big or small? I always need to know the conditions under which you make the rules. Otherwise, how would I know if you will take my money indiscriminately." She smiled seriously.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "Miss, you are doubting my professionalism by saying this. If I cheat you, I will never do business again. The most important thing in our business is integrity. If you say that I don't even have integrity How do you do business?"

Seeing the middle-aged man say this, Hua Xiaoqiao didn't say any more, and directly talked about the topic: "I want you to keep the question I asked you today a secret, and you can't let the second person know how much you said the confidentiality fee is."

She knows the rules of the industry, and also knows that these people use money to do things for others, as long as they have money, they can do things.

"It seems that what the lady wants to ask is a little important. How about you follow me upstairs, miss? It's always bad to have too many people here."

The middle-aged man also became serious. He seldom encountered such a business and always had to be careful.

Hua Xiaoqiao yelled Qingyan and followed the middle-aged man upstairs. This is a teahouse as big as the downtown area, but she has no other worries, knowing that nothing good will happen.

Together they went upstairs and the middle-aged man took Hua Xiaoqiao directly to a private room, then closed the door and sat down and said: "Miss, this place is very safe, and Xiao Er will not come up here if there are no guests. Miss, what news do you want to ask?" .”

"Let's go back to the question just now. I want to know how much you charge for confidentiality."

She is very concerned about this matter. After all, middle-aged men are in this business, so they must have their own way of handling it.

The middle-aged man raised the corners of his mouth as if he must do it: "Miss, it's hard to talk about it."

Hua Xiaoqiao stood up and planned to leave: "I'm here to talk to you sincerely, since you seem to be hesitant to speak and can't stop talking every time, we have nothing to say."

In fact, she was more or less annoyed by the attitude of the middle-aged man. Maybe the middle-aged man was still testing her truth, but now she was a little disgusted by the attitude of the middle-aged man's mother-in-law.
