Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Lu Qingqing frowned and looked at Ziyao doubtfully.

"Master, you don't know that those usually sanctimonious adults, when they see the family members of their former classmates and friends, not only do they not help, but..."

She heard the meaning of Ziyao's words, felt sick in her heart, and then decided to take a look.

"Come with me for a walk."

Biyun walked in with red bean soup and saw Ziyao waiting for her master to dress. She put down the bowl in her hand and stepped forward to ask in confusion:

"Master, are you going out?"

Ziyao is helping her master tie the belt of his cloak.

Lu Qingqing turned her head to look at Biyun and told her to continue packing. She would put those things away when she came back. She would go out now.

"Master, please drink this bowl of red bean soup first. Do you want my slave to accompany you?"

Biyun brought the soup bowl to Lu Qingqing and pouted, signaling to her master that she must drink it before letting her go.

Lu Qingqing chuckled helplessly, took the bowl and drank it in a few sips.

"Okay, housekeeper, just stay and clean up. I'll be right back. Pu Ziyao is with me."

As he said that, he walked out of the room. Ziyao followed behind him. When he was beside Biyun, he patted her shoulder with a smile. She followed her master out of the room with a smile and a wink.

Behind him, Biyun stomped his feet, and could only helplessly turn around and walk to the inner room to pack some of the master's belongings. These were all the things the master was used to, so it was better to take them all with him.

When Lu Qingqing left the mansion, Ling Feng drove a carriage and waited in front of the mansion.

"Ling Feng goes directly to Guan Ya." She ordered and got straight onto the carriage, followed by Ziyao who jumped on the carriage.

Soon the master and servants walked towards Guan Ya. The weather today was not very good and the wind was very strong outside.

Through the car window, I saw a few pedestrians on the street outside, but there were quite a few patrolling Imperial Guards.

"Master, we still don't know when the capital will return to normal, and people are in panic all day long."

Ziyao sat opposite her and complained softly.

Lu Qingqing had a faint smile on her face. After the emperor's palace change, his whole temperament also changed a lot, and his suspicion became much heavier. She had talked about this with her grandfather before.

She had warned her grandfather that if the situation was bad, he would resign because of illness. He would not think much about his brother, the emperor. If all the important ministers in the court were... then there would be no one left for the emperor.

However, it also reminded her brother to be more careful in the court in the future. As for her father, he was just a sinecure and had no deterrent effect at all. The emperor didn't take it to heart.

He just needs to watch over his mother and grandmother and live a good life. As for outside matters, he will participate as little as possible.

She left Xia Bai with her father, firstly for protection, and secondly, to remind him in time if anything happened.

With Aunt Wang at my mother's side, there won't be any big trouble. Besides, there are also grandparents in the house.

As for Concubine De in the palace, there shouldn't be any big problems. Concubine Mei, the biggest threat, is already dead. Who is still thinking of harming her!

And with the people she sent beside her, she felt a lot more relieved.

"The master is here!" Ling Feng outside tightened the reins, stopped the carriage and shouted softly toward the back.

Lu Qingqing slowly opened her eyes. Ziyao helped her master gather the cloak around his neck, then turned around and jumped out of the carriage, helping the master behind him to get out of the carriage.

Lu Qingqing, who leaned out of the carriage, did not expect that the entrance to the government office he saw at first sight was filled with cars and horses.

There were carriages parked everywhere, and many people were heading towards Guanya.

"Master and slave, I will support you, be careful not to get hit." Ziyao blocked Lu Qingqing's side, supported her arm and walked towards the official gate.

Lu Qingqing wore a hood, and no one saw her face, so she went straight to the official tooth hall without knowing who was facing whom.

The boy immediately came forward to greet him. It was already crowded with people, many of whom came for their master as Ziyao said.

"Does this nobleman want to buy slaves or build land?"

Ziyao raised her eyebrows and looked at the boy, asking him where the person in charge of Ya Xing was? Why send a boy like him to receive you?

"The girl doesn't know something. The manager is currently confused, so I can only come to receive you. There are too many people in the past two days."

The boy explained to Ziyao awkwardly.

"Then find a quiet place for me to talk."

Lu Qingqing's cold voice sounded, and the boy was startled, then smiled and leaned over to make a gesture of invitation to the master and servant.

Master and servant Lu Qingqing followed the servant to a clean room. As soon as they sat down, someone brought hot tea outside.

She saw that this boy was no ordinary servant...

"My lord, please have tea. If you need anything, please tell me. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you think that if I need to tell you anything, you can do it?"

"Hehe... To be honest, Miss, I have been with the principal for five years. Usually when the principal is away, I am here to receive some distinguished guests."

Lu Qingqing nodded and spoke in a deep voice about the layout of the shop and the need for some skilled embroiderers.

"Your distinguished guest, please wait a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can."

After saying that, he leaned over and exited the room.

Ziyao asked the master if he wanted to buy more embroiderers to put in the shop?

Lu Qingqing nodded gently, and then the boy returned to the room.

"I have kept you waiting for a long time. You can take a look at some of these registered Zhuangzi shops. The embroiderer will bring them over soon."

The boy respectfully handed the booklet in his hand to Ziyao.

Lu Qingqing took the booklet from Ziyao's hand and looked through it. There were quite a few shops and restaurants in it, but she didn't expect that all the famous restaurants in the capital were among them.

It was a three-story pavilion near the river. Lu Qingqing raised her lips and reached out to click on this restaurant on the brochure.

The waiter looked at her in embarrassment and said apologetically: "A customer just took a fancy to your place, but the money in hand is not tight. I am trying to raise money now."

"How much money is this?" Lu Qingqing didn't care whether anyone had taken a fancy to it. As long as it hadn't been sold, she still had a chance.

Seeing that she was still insistent, the boy could only bite the bullet and tell the price.

"Fifty thousand taels."

Lu Qingqing reached out and threw out a stack of banknotes, raised her eyebrows and said, "This is fifty-five thousand taels, is it enough?"

"But......"

Ziyao looked at the hesitant look on the young man's face, sneered coldly, folded his arms and said, he can't even get out a mere fifty thousand silver, why should he wait? Besides, what they are doing is business, of course. The one with the highest price gets it!

After listening to what Ziyao said, the one with the highest price will get it. He gritted his teeth and patted his thigh: "The girl is right, the one with the highest price will get it. The young man will make the decision and sell this shop to the lady."

Lu Qingqing raised a slight smile on her lips and pushed the banknote in front of the boy.
