Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

On a quiet night, the guards of the Eastern Palace, who were on their daily routine patrol in the east of Xunyang City, discovered something unusual in the East City. Someone was found lurking in the house of the military officer Cao An.

After following and monitoring for a whole night, they discovered that the person lurking secretly climbed over the wall and escaped before dawn. In order not to alert the enemy, the two men stayed far behind the person.

The person in black in front looked like a woman. She walked to a dark alley, looked around and found no one, so she went into the alley. Two Donggong Fengyi guards were waiting from a distance, guessing that the person must have changed his clothes, and did not follow him in.

As expected, after a while, a girl came out of the dark alley carrying a small package.

Afterwards, he nimbly took a shortcut and moved quickly towards the provincial school.

The two followed closely, and the man easily climbed over the wall of the house at No. 9 Yongxing Lane.

Feng Yi's two guards exchanged glances and agreed that the man had returned home instead of continuing to lurk, so they decided that one would stay behind while the other would go back to report the situation.

Leaving Yi Er behind, he followed into No. 9 Yongxing Lane. After climbing over the wall, he found a lush forest in the backyard, so he hid directly among the treetops.

In order to facilitate observation in the future, Yi Er decided to first find out the situation of the people in the yard...

The sun worked tirelessly, making the originally cool morning become extremely hot and humid. Wang Jinyi looked at the outer shirt and long skirt with a sense of resistance. She had to wear an inner shirt and a middle shirt, and then an outer shirt and a long skirt.

This rule is really unacceptable during the hottest days of summer.

"Nurse, can I wear just my trousers without a skirt?"

"Miss, this is the rule. How can you go out without clothes?"

"But I'm wearing two layers!"

"You have to wear an outer shirt! How can you go out wearing inner clothes?!"

Alas! This kind of communication is doomed to be fruitless. How can thousands of years of clothing evolution be achieved in one morning? Impossible.

At this time, Wu Mei came in with the toiletries, placed them in place, and then stood quietly by the door.

Wang Jinyi tossed and turned last night, causing insomnia, but the consequences disappeared the moment she saw Wu Mei.

Zhu Yu and the wet nurse helped the young lady dress and wash and dress herself.

Wang Jinyi was not in the mood to appreciate today's outfit, so she pulled Fifth Sister aside.

"You guys tidy up first. I'm going to the backyard to pick some flowers. I'll be back in a quarter of an hour. You can come find me."

Wu Mei brought the young lady to the backyard, went into the grove, found a flat stone, took out a square handkerchief from her bosom, spread it out,

"Miss, please sit down. I will tell you."

At this time, the person in the tree confirmed that the person who jumped over the wall and entered was the girl below.

So he held his breath and listened attentively.

Zhu Yu began to talk about how busy the Tai Sheng Rice Shop was and how good the three shop assistants were at serving customers. Wang Jinyi saw that this was going off track and stopped him immediately.

"Okay, okay, Sister Wu, let's talk about Cao An's family."

The people on the tree immediately lowered themselves down...

Yesterday, Wu Mei received instructions from the young lady, took 50 big coins from Qingyu, and secretly jumped over the wall of the backyard and escaped.

After leaving the alley, she thought for a moment and went to Tutaisheng Rice Shop first, just as she had described it to the young lady.

The shops on this road all seemed to be doing well, but one was particularly prosperous, with grain trucks constantly loading and unloading at the side door. A young man with a thick accent, wearing a white cloth, was holding an account book and counting the various grains.

After a while, another young man wearing the same coat ran out. After the two whispered, they began to carry food to the backyard. After a while, a head popped out of the shop and shouted at the two,

"Hurry up! There's no food in the granary. Add more food."

The two people at the side door quickened their pace. Finally, each of them carried a bag of grain, and together they carried another bag of grain and quickened their pace to enter the door. Then the back door was closed, and the grain delivery truck left. The road seemed much smoother.

Wu Mei remembered that the young lady asked her to find a rice shop called Tai Sheng, so she paid attention to the signboard of the rice shop. It turned out that this was the Tai Sheng Rice Shop.

Wu Mei then walked into the shop. She didn't expect that a rice shop could have such a good business. Not to mention the crowds of people, there was a constant flow of people in the shop.

Some people really came to buy rice. They all carefully selected and queued up to buy food. Some people crowded in front of the door to watch the fun. Wu Mei also found that someone stopped in front of the door to look at a piece of calligraphy, which was about a couplet.

It's the second line of the couplet solicitation. Who is causing trouble here? Why is there such a fuss in such a good grain store?

Wu Mei thought as she squeezed into the rice shop.

There are rice troughs and grain bins in the shop, and all kinds of grains are neatly arranged in liters, buckets and stones.

The grain planting index is complete: coarse rice, brown rice, white rice and polished rice are arranged neatly.

There are all kinds of miscellaneous grains, coarse grains, various noodles and flour of different grades on display.

After walking around, Wu Mei came to a conclusion about this rice shop: her family should also buy grain from this shop called Tai Sheng!

In order to complete the young lady's request, she had to observe the three shop assistants, so Wu Mei became the oddity in the store. While others looked at the grain, she looked at the people, and followed the shop assistants to see where the rice-measuring guy went.

But there were always two waiters in the store, busy with customers, their feet were sweating, but the other waiter was nowhere to be seen...

Wu Mei didn’t know who the guy was, but she wrote down the incident and told it to the young lady.

Wu Mei went to the East City and when she was walking through the market, she saw a horse-drawn carriage with the Cao family logo parked next to the oil mill. Wu Mei approached carefully and saw that the carriage was loaded with two jars of oil. Wu Mei pretended to buy oil and asked the price.

"You have a good business. General Cao's family buys oil from you. You have a big customer!"

The old lady who was buying oil nearby nudged Wu Mei with her elbow.

"Don't talk nonsense, little girl. This store belongs to the Cao family."

So that's it. When Wu Mei saw that the old lady knew what was going on, she pretended to have said something wrong, covered her mouth, and looked guilty. She followed the old woman carrying the small oil can out of the oil mill, and the two of them chatted casually.

"Thank you for your reminder. Otherwise, if I said something wrong today, I don't know if the Cao family's servants would resent me for this!"

"Oh, I shouldn't be telling you this."

The old woman hesitated to speak.

"The Cao family often buys oil from their store. I don't know why the Cao family wastes so much oil. Speaking of lamp oil, a family can't use it all in one night. How many people would it take to use so much oil for a lamp bowl?

Alas, we are worrying about others for nothing. They run their own oil mill and can use it as they please. "

After saying that, the old lady left. Wu Mei just passed the original words to the young lady. The only reason she remembered them so clearly was because of her curiosity.
