Cannon fodder rules for face-slapping prostitutes

Chapter 112

Although Shu Qing said so, she still felt that she was right, because although Mrs. Shi Lang was plump, her eyes seemed to be quite similar to Qiu Niang.

Qiuniang thanked Shu Qing again and again. She never thought that her luck would be so good. She was very grateful to meet a benefactor like Shu Qing. Thinking that she might really find her sister, these few words appeared on her face. The first easy smile in months.

After returning to the city, Shu Qing went to Tianshu Pavilion first.

Tianshu Pavilion is located in the most prosperous place in the capital, and it has a very large area. It is divided into many places. There are special inquiries, teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, auction houses, etc., all on the same street, which is very obvious.

Shu Qing asked Xiaokui to stay in the car, and went down into Tianshu Pavilion by herself.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going in Tianshu Pavilion. Although Shu Qing was covered with a veil, her clothes and temperament were so conspicuous that people would unconsciously give way when they saw her.

The Tianshu Pavilion is very spacious and bright. As soon as Shu Qing walked in, a clever young man ran out and said, "It's Miss Shu, please come in. Is Miss Shu looking for someone or to eat?"

Shu Qing was a little surprised, she was now covered with a veil, and she was dressed completely differently from before. Even Qin Yiming didn't recognize herself, but she didn't expect to be recognized by a servant.

"Inquire about the news."

"Ms. Shu and my little one please come this way"

What Shu Qing didn't know was that Tianshu Pavilion was known as a clairvoyant, so it would naturally update the information about the capital as soon as possible. The portrait of Shu Qing had already been in Tianshu Pavilion, and it was updated last night about the ability of a piece of Shu Qing's clothes. With the news of the high price of 30 taels of silver, today the boy saw Shu Qing's unique carriage and her fluttering clothes, so he naturally guessed that it must be Shu Qing.

The servant led Shu Qing to the right, there were many steps and small compartments on the first floor of Tianshu Pavilion.

When everyone heard what the servant said, their eyes almost popped out in fright.

"Hehe, did I hear you right just now, is that the idiot Missy of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I misheard just like you. That young man must be the Second Miss. We heard it as the Eldest Miss."

"My Jade Emperor, did the clothes on that idiot lady just now look like a fairy? When I first saw it, I thought it was a fairy descended from the mortal world."

"The Jade Emperor isn't even that immortal."

"No, I didn't see clearly just now, so I just stayed here, and I have to confirm whether the fairy just now pretended to be the idiot lady of the prime minister's mansion."

"Me too, I won't leave either."

While everyone was discussing, Shu Qing, who heard the news, said with a troubled expression:

"Can you use this hairpin as a mortgage first?"

What Shu Qing held in her hand was the invitation letter for the auction.

The purpose of her coming to Tianshu Pavilion was to ask about when Chixincao would be auctioned.

But she really didn't expect that she would not be able to enter the auction house without an invitation letter. In her last life, she was brought here once by Gong Wushang, but she obviously didn't show the invitation letter that time. Of course, it is also possible that Gong Wushang is the prince. Noble, so no invitation letter at all.

But what Shu Qing is struggling with now is not this, but an invitation letter that costs 100 taels of silver. God knows that although she has earned 160 million taels from selling paintings and clothes, it is a pity that the money has not yet arrived. Silver, she is penniless now, and still owes Xiaokui four taels of silver, so she can only use jewelry as collateral first.

When the shopkeeper who sold the news saw the hairpin, the corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say. He could only say to Shu Qing:
"Miss Shu, wait a moment, this old man will go ask the master right now."

Shu Qing nodded sincerely, and sat on a row of empty stools next to her.

While Shu Qing was waiting, the shopkeeper immediately grabbed the hem of his clothes and ran to the top floor of Tianshu Pavilion without delay.

The top floor was silent, and there was only one room in the large hall, which was repaired in an unusually low-key and grand manner.

The shopkeeper tapped three times at the door in slow rhythm and agreement, and there came a neutral tone that seemed to be infinitely soft and soft, and could make people feel numb:

"What's the matter."

Just listening to the voice, it is completely impossible to judge whether it is a man or a woman. Of course, listening to the voice, it looks more like a woman.

"I would like to report to Second Master, Miss Shu Qing from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to inquire about the news of the auction of Chixincao today, and asked for an invitation letter, but Miss Shu took Huixin out of the house, I don't know whether it was to bring money or for some reason. Take the hairpin down, and ask if you can use the Huixin hairpin as a mortgage first, the Huixin hairpin is a gift from the emperor, and the old man dare not make decisions on his own."

"Hui Xin Hairpin?"

There was still a numb murmur from inside, and then there was a silence, and it took a long time before a voice came from inside:
"Interesting and interesting, Miss Shu is indeed an interesting and wonderful person, please take the Huixin hairpin away."

When the shopkeeper heard the reply, he was a little unexpected and felt that it was expected. With the master's power, it seemed that there was nothing to embarrass about accepting a Huixin hairpin.

The old shopkeeper came down soon, and Shu Qing was relieved to see that he was willing to take it. The old shopkeeper couldn't help but hold his forehead. Does Miss Shu know that if the imperial gift is used as collateral, it will cause trouble if someone who is interested finds out about it? Come for the crime of beheading.

But Shu Qing is not afraid, even if she knows, she will not feel anything, she naturally has a way to get out of trouble, besides, she is not liked by the royal family at all, the so-called lice are not afraid of itchiness.

Walking out of Tianshu Pavilion, Shu Qing saw the jade shop on the opposite corner of Tianshu Pavilion at a glance, her eyes turned cold, she realized that this was the shop that sold her fake jade, and it was also Madam Qin's dowry shop, but Shu Qing didn't intend to settle the score today.

After returning to the carriage, he went to the house of the Minister of Rites, whose surname was Qian.

After arriving at the servant's mansion, he knocked on the side door and explained his future intentions. Unexpectedly, a servant soon asked someone to take Qiuniang in, saying that he had found the right one.

Qiuniang thanked Shu Qing, asked where Shu Qing lived, and said that she would definitely go to find Shu Qing after she settled down, but she was very surprised to learn that Shu Qing was the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion, and felt that Shu Qing had helped her for no reason. The action is even more touching.

"Miss, when will the auction be held? Is it in time?"

Shu Qing looked at the gold-plated invitation letter in her hand, smiled and said:
"It will be held in six days, and they should send the money in the next few days."

Shu Qing was relieved when she found out that there was really an auction for Chixincao. She didn't know if 160 million taels was enough.

Shu Qing and Xiao Kui returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Xueer hurried to say that Shu An's sent some jewelry over today, and said that Shu Qing had performed very well recently, so she asked her to keep it.

Shu Qing almost laughed when she heard this far-fetched reason, she had a falling out with Shu An the day before yesterday, but now she said that she behaved very well, when Shu Qing returned to the room, Xueer brought in the box sent by Shu An.

Lyric opened it and saw that there were only a pair of opal earrings, a silver bracelet, and a jade hairpin. Judging from the luster of the jade, it was not a good jade, probably no more than ten taels of silver, and it looked really shabby.

Seeing this, Xiaokui couldn't help complaining:

"Miss, is this old lady's reward too...too inappropriate?"

Xiaokui originally wanted to ask if she was being too stingy, that kind of finished jewelry is really not something a lady should wear, even some of the more favored maids probably wear it better than this.

But Shu Qing smiled calmly: "This is not what grandma wants to give me, you should share these."

Both Xiaokui and Xueer were puzzled:
"Miss, what else can the old lady give if she really sends jewelry?"

And those jewelry really make people feel too shabby, and it's fortunate that the young lady can still laugh.

Both Xiaokui and Xue'er felt that the eldest lady had a very difficult time in the mansion, no relatives were nice to the lady, but the eldest lady was still very kind to the servants.

Shu Qing smiled and said:

"Send it naturally because of conspiracy and tricks."

After Shu Qing finished speaking, he poured out all the jewelry and put them on the table, while he took the wooden box to examine carefully, and asked:
"Xue'er, grandma just sent a box over? Who sent it? Did you enter the yard?"

Xueer shook her head and said:

"Grandma Jiang sent it. She didn't go into the courtyard, but only sent this wooden box. For some reason, Grandma Jiang seemed to be a little eager to send the wooden box over, but she didn't even drink a sip of tea."

Hearing this, Shu Qing was even more sure that there must be something mysterious about this wooden box, she tried knocking on the four walls, but there was nothing different, Shu Qing couldn't help frowning.

Impossible, she has made such a big fuss over the matter of Miaoyifang in the past two days, and with the shrewdness of the person in the mansion who wants her to have an accident, she will definitely find a way to give herself the land deed, and then push everything to herself , Shu Qing glanced at the wooden box, the lid and the jewelry on the table.

Looking at it, Shu Qing suddenly picked up the lid, and she immediately knocked on the lid twice, and sure enough, there was a heavy sound, indicating that there was something inside the lid.

Moreover, Shu Qing also found that the lid of the box is thicker than that of ordinary boxes.

"Miss, why do you insist on staring at the lid of the box..."

Before Xiaokui finished asking, she saw Shu Qing smash the lid of the box on the ground, the lid made a cracking sound, and saw a thin panel and a folded white paper fall out.

Xiaokui immediately picked up the white paper on the ground and handed it to Shu Qing:
"Miss, what is this?"

Shu Qing raised the corner of her mouth and said, "What else can it be, the land deed of Miaoyifang."

After speaking, he took advantage of the opportunity to open the white paper, and both Xiaokui and Xue'er couldn't help but leaned over to look at it. Sure enough, they saw the title deed with black letters and red seals on the white paper, which belonged to the shop title deed of Miaoyifang.

"Wow, miss, you are really amazing. A few days ago, she said that the old lady would take the initiative to hand over the title deed of the shop to you. As expected, she delivered it today."

"It's not the first time that the young lady has predicted things like a god. Today, Wang Shun saw the servant from a distance, instead of rushing up, he even ran away in fright when he saw the servant. The young lady is really amazing."
