Time Travel: Brothel Maid

The clerk's eyes lit up immediately. "Please wait a moment. There are too many jades. I need to count them carefully. I'll ask our shopkeeper to come out and tell you."

Zhao Yunrong waved his hand impatiently, "No need, you have already calculated it, take this ring to the Zunyi Palace to withdraw the silver."

As she said this, she took off the emerald green ring on her finger and handed it to Shen Jing, who took it and handed it to the waiter.

When the waiter suddenly heard the words "Zunyi Palace", he opened his eyes wide in shock. Then, when he saw the ring in his hand, which was a hundred times better than the jade in the whole room, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

The man bent down, holding the ring in his hand like a rare treasure, and said hesitantly, "Yes, yes."

"Wan Mei, let's go."

When Zhao Yunrong walked to the door, he passed by Xiao Guoer and stared at him with sharp eyes.

Xiao Guoer's hair stood on end when she was stared at by him, as if she was being stared at by a vicious poisonous snake.

She waited until they were far away before she heaved a long sigh of relief. When the wind blew, she felt a chill all over her body. It turned out that her undershirt was soaked.

Next time you see these two people, stay away from them. You can’t afford to offend them.

Xiao Guoer returned to Jinxiang Tower exhausted both physically and mentally, and slumped in the chair like a boneless person.

I haven't recovered from the shock yet, and my whole body feels limp and I have no strength.

I wanted to drink some tea to calm my nerves, and when I raised my hand to take the teacup, I realized that I was still holding the red fire jade in my hand.

Um, it seems she forgot to pay.

One hundred and twenty taels of red fire jade.

After the accident, Xiao Guoer became happy again. She thought that the fright she had today was not in vain. She got such an expensive piece of red fire jade for free, which was really a pleasant surprise.

This wasn't considered stealing, as someone else paid for her, even if that person didn't know.

After Hengsheng Jade Shop checked the lost jade, it would naturally charge the prince for the red fire jade.

Hahahaha, just consider it as compensation for her mental damage given by that unreasonable bastard prince.

Xiao Guoer took the red fire jade and examined it carefully, unable to let it go.

The color is so pretty. I wonder what kind of pattern I should carve into the pendant?

Xiao Guoer's eyes turned and he had an idea.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy a lottery ticket."

A shadow was cast in front of me, and another guest came.

Xiao Guoer put the red fire jade in her arms and greeted the guest, "Okay, you choose five numbers."

Busy time always flies by.

Nothing happened that afternoon, and Xiao Guoer was so busy as usual that she didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea or wash her hands.

Just when Jinxianglou was closing and she was about to pack up and go home, Tang Jingchen showed up on time again.

Unless Xiao Guoer closed the shop and went home before dark, Tang Jingchen would appear whenever the moon was above the willow trees.

Then go home with Xiaoguoer.

Xiao Guoer didn't expose him and never asked him where he lived. She saw and remembered his kindness.

In the capital city, the weather in April is neither hot nor cold.

The temperature during the day has made people wear thin clothes, but at night, when the breeze blows, the thin clothes can't keep out the cold.

Tang Jingchen saw Xiao Guoer shivering with her shoulders hunched due to the cold. He took two steps back without saying a word and followed her.

Xiao Guoer walked a few steps and found that the wind seemed to have weakened. She turned her head and saw that Tang Jingchen, who had just walked side by side with her, had walked behind her at some point.

She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that it was he who blocked the cold for her.

He turned around and smiled at the person behind him, "You are such a warm-hearted man."

Tang Jingchen saw her turn around and stopped, "What do you mean by warm man?"

Xiao Guoer laughed, turned around and continued walking forward, while the sound she made disappeared into the night, "It means you are very good."

Tang Jingchen looked at her back, confused and bewildered.

Although I didn't understand why she suddenly said that, I felt a sweet feeling in my heart because of her praise.

He picked up his pace again and took two quick steps to catch up with the thin but firm little girl.

The moon was very round and big, and the moonlight was bright. There were no clouds to block it, and it actually shone some light on the earth.

The light shone on two people standing in front and behind in the night, and there were faint, long shadows on the ground. The shadows of the two people sometimes separated and sometimes merged together.

Xiao Guoer returned to Zhuxian Lane.

Yueya yawned as she brought the warm food that had been specially left on the stove.

The little girl is still growing, and due to the habit she developed since childhood, she goes to bed early at night.

Seeing that she was sleepy, Xiao Guoer smiled and said, "I've told you many times that you don't have to wait for me. If I'm hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat."

Yueya looked serious with her eyes wide open. "That won't do. Second Miss has worked hard outside all day and doesn't even have a hot meal when she comes back. Even if Second Miss doesn't care, I still feel bad."

Xiao Guoer had said it several times but it was useless. Knowing that it was useless to say more, she stopped persuading him, "Okay, go to sleep now. You don't have to stay here."

"Second Miss, go to bed early too." Yueya then left.

The time now is equivalent to around 9 o'clock in modern times, and she can't sleep.

After dinner, Xiao Guoer came to the main room, and Yingniang raised her head from the embroidery frame in her hands.

"You made a lot of money today? Why are you so happy?"

Xiao Guoer thought about the red fire jade in her arms, which she hadn't spent any money on. She thought it was her earnings, and said, "Well, I met a crazy couple today. Although they are mentally ill, they are very generous."

"Dian Gong and Dian Po? What does that mean?" Yingniang has long been accustomed to the new words that she would come up with from time to time.

"It's just that her spirit and behavior are different from those of ordinary people. These are not important." Xiao Guoer waved her hand, "Sister, don't embroider tonight. You'll hurt your eyes if you stay up too much."

"It's okay." Yingniang likes to keep herself busy so that she doesn't have to think about her future with Zhou Fangye.

He advised earnestly, "You are a girl after all. You must be careful when you go out to do business disguised as a man. Don't let rogues take advantage of you."

Xiao Guo'er didn't care at all, "Don't worry, sister. With my appearance, ordinary people can't recognize that I am a woman unless they have sharp eyes."

"Sister, do you have any red silk thread?"

Yingniang put down the embroidery frame and began to rummage in the needlework basket.

"What for?"

"It's still for making lace."

"Is it a Chinese knot? Didn't we tie it yesterday?"

"Well, I changed my mind. I think red looks better."

"Now, here you go."

Xiao Guoer got the silk thread and returned to the east wing.

As the fingers danced, a bright red Chinese knot took shape.

Xiao Guoer took out the red fire jade from her arms, looked at it above the Chinese knot, and nodded with satisfaction.
