Xiaojiaxiu

Chapter 517

"You two, we're here!" The middle-aged man driving the carriage shouted loudly to the guests in the carriage.

"That's it?" Siya in the carriage asked in surprise as soon as she heard the coachman say this, she couldn't help but lift the curtain.

"Isn't it! This is the Sixteenth Hutong you mentioned!" Seeing what Si Ya said, the coachman replied courteously.

"This... this... is too much!" Hearing what the coachman said, Si Ya really felt an indescribable feeling of being deceived in her heart. She muttered and got off the carriage unwillingly.

Although Haozi was also surprised that the distance was so short, he was not as obvious as Siya showed, but he looked at the coachman with cold eyes.

The coachman clearly knew that Shiliu Hutong was only a few steps away, but he still turned a blind eye to earn the money. From this, it can be seen that this person must not be an honest master.

"You two, it's one denarius in total!" Seeing that the two guests got out of the carriage, the coachman still had a courteous smile on his face.

Si Ya and Hao Zi were not locals at first glance, so the coachman killed them naturally.

"One penny? You think we are young and easy to bully, right?" After hearing the fare reported by the coachman, Haozi finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stared angrily at the coachman and said .

One penny is worth one hundred Wen, and in their town they can buy more than 30 big meat buns!

"I heard that your accent is from outsiders. You two don't know. The price of goods in our capital is expensive, and the transportation fee is also expensive! You see, my small business is not easy. There are old people and small people here. ...!" Seeing that the guest got angry, the coachman was not angry, and explained to the guest with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of superiority on his smiling face.

"This is a penny! Let's go!" This time, Siya was not as excited as Haozi. She saw Haozi's posture, as if she wanted to argue with the coachman, so she took out the silver from her body , Handed it to the coachman and said.

"Siya, what are you doing! You can't give him this money!" Haozi said angrily when he saw Siya handing over a piece of silver to the coachman like that.

"Forget it, Haozi! It's important to do business!" Seeing Haozi's seriousness, Si Ya couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him.

In her previous life, Si Ya had seen many such things, but she didn't care that much about them. Besides, she also knew that arguing with this kind of person would only waste more time, and it really wasn't necessary.

"Thank you, miss, then I'll be leaving!" The coachman didn't lose a trace of his smile because of Hao Zi's attitude, but instead thanked Si Ya more attentively, with his eyes still looking at Si Ya from time to time. The silver money bag on the waist.

Si Ya could tell that the coachman wanted to tip money, but in the current situation, even if she was killed, he would not give that man another copper coin!
Seeing that Siya had no intention of paying any more money, the coachman could only drive the carriage away resentfully.

Haozi looked at the coachman with red eyes, and clenched his fists tightly, as if he was going to rush forward to fight the coachman desperately at any moment.

Siya also understands Haozi's feelings, thinking back then Haozi was the master who cared about other people's money, but now in the capital, he is being taken advantage of by others, a person with super self-esteem like him is not for a while Can't accept it!

"Haozi! It's important for us to find someone! To your left and to my right, let's see which is the Bai family's house!" Seeing that Haozi was still concerned about that matter, Siya wanted to draw his attention elsewhere, so Just talk to him.

Si Ya also observed the houses on the two sides, and the door plaques all said a certain mansion, and Si Ya thought that this should also be written on the door plaques of the Bai family's house.

Hearing Siya's words, Haozi really stopped staring in the direction of the carriage, but turned his head and walked towards the house on the left, without even looking at Siya.

Si Ya knew that Hao Zi was annoyed with her, and he presumably blamed her for being so "generous" when she made the move just now, and didn't care about his feelings at all.

It's clear to understand, but Siya doesn't want to explain too much to Haozi. Haozi will gradually understand such things in the future.

Si Ya and Hao Zi searched like this for a while, but found two houses with the words "Bai Mansion" written on the door plaques, but those two houses had high gates and large courtyards, and there were young fellows guarding in front of the gates. The house where the family lived temporarily in the capital.

After searching for a while, the two finally saw a not-so-obtrusive house in a corner, and this house seemed to match what Bai Pang San described.

"This house looks like it's been unoccupied for a long time!" Hao Zi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke when he saw the thick dust on the house.

"Knock on the door and have a look!" Si Ya also saw a thick layer of dust on the gate of the house, but she just searched for it, and she must try.

Hearing Siya's words, Haozi nodded, then went forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

The sound of the wooden door was a little hoarse, Haozi knocked hard for a while, but no one responded, so he turned his head to look at Si Ya, listening to what she had to say.

"It looks like no one lives in this house!" Seeing Haozi looking at her, Si Ya could only conclude in this way.

This alley is considered to be the end, so Si Ya also concluded that this Bai Mansion belongs to the Baipang family, and at this time she also concluded that Master Bai must not live here.

Since no one was found, Siya and Haozi had to go back to the inn.

I don't know if it was because of the unhappiness before, or because I was a little disappointed because I didn't find Master Bai. Neither of them said a word on the way back to the inn. It was really a different situation from the talking and laughing when they came.

The chief steward and the servant in the inn hadn't come back yet, Si Ya and Hao Zi also went back to their rooms.

During dinner, the chief steward and the boy were obviously excited. They could only hear them excitedly talking about how big the capital is, how magnificent the houses are, how rich the people are in the capital. Everything in the movie opened the eyes of both of them.

"I've seen it this time. There are money everywhere in the capital! If our restaurant can be opened here, there must be a lot of money flowing in!" Naturally, the chief manager didn't just come to see the prosperity of the capital. Here, he naturally asked about all the things that should be inquired about, such as the price of goods in this capital, which restaurant in this capital is the most prosperous, and which area is most suitable for opening a restaurant...

"The chief steward is right!" Although Siya already knew what the chief steward said, she still responded one by one.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the dental dealer to inquire about the prices of various land boundaries. It's just that this matter is not easy to handle. Although the capital is good, the people in this capital are also cheating. If no one brings it, I'm afraid it will eat a lot. What a loss!" Although he felt the prosperity of the capital, the chief manager couldn't help but sighed.

Hearing the chief steward's words, Siya and Haozi couldn't help but glanced at each other, and then they looked at each other and smiled, thinking in their hearts, it seems that the chief steward also suffered a lot during the day.

After dinner, Siya took the initiative to go to Haozi's room, and then discussed with him about Master Bai.

"We can't help you with the matter of the restaurant right now. It's best to leave it to the butler. The two of us still try to find Uncle Bai. In this way, it will be convenient for us to do anything in the capital!" Si Ya discussed with Hao Zi and said.

"En!" Haozi also thought the same in his heart, so after hearing Siya's words, he naturally nodded in response.

"Uncle Bai has treated our family kindly. When I came to the capital this time, my mother specifically asked me to find out about Uncle Bai's whereabouts! A large part of the reason why I agreed to Shen Yan to come to the capital this time was because I was worried about Uncle Bai! I think he has told you about Shen Yan in detail. Haozi, I have no other meaning in saying this, I just want you to know in your heart whether that person is worth your time, and whether you will Do you want to live such a life? Shen Yan's family background is complicated, you have to think it through!" Siya has never had a serious chat with Haozi about Shen Yan, this time Haozi came to the capital, a large part of it was for Shen Yan. Yan's matter came, so Si Ya also wanted to have a good talk with him.

Hearing Siya's words, Haozi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked into Siya's eyes and said: "I have never thought about these things. When I was in the village before, I only thought that this person was someone worthy of friendship." Man! But from today onwards, I will think carefully about your words!"

"Okay! In fact, everyone has their own way of life! Like me, I am usually a little clever, but I don't have much ambition. I just want to lead the whole family to earn more money in this life, and then be carefree. Keeping the money and living a prosperous life, the whole family is healthy and happy! As for the other things, I will not deliberately force it!" Siya's wish is no secret, and the family Everyone here knows her landlord's wife's dream. The reason why she told Haozi at this time is to use herself as an example to let him understand what she wants to express.

No matter how smart and mature Haozi was, he was still just a teenager, and Siya still regarded him as a minor in his heart, so as he talked, he couldn't help but act like an adult and began to preach.

"What are you looking at me for?" After saying these words, Siya couldn't help asking aloud seeing Haozi staring at her.

"You...you are really... really different from Huniu. You are obviously a few years younger than her, but you speak completely differently!" Seeing Siya asking, Haozi felt that he I was a little rude, so I quickly moved my eyes away, but the words in my heart were said truthfully.

"Hey! I don't have the good fortune of Hu Niu. She has a brother like you, so she doesn't have to think too much! Our family only has mother, seven girls and our younger brother, so we have to think more. The children of poor families have already been in charge of the family, not to mention that there is no adult man in the family!" Si Ya could only quickly explain.
