They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

There is nothing for sale here, not even some samples for people to choose from.

All I could see were some places selling cloth, and the styles and feel of the cloth were very poor.

There is no such thing as high-end silk here. All you can see is the most ordinary linen.

The quality is good, but the feel is a bit poor.

The two people who had never worn this thing thought it was too rough.

Is it really comfortable to wear something like this?

"Of course it's not too comfortable, but it's okay if you wear it a lot."

Gu Nian explained to the two of them,

"The most important thing about this thing is that it's cheap and sturdy, so I don't feel bad about wearing it while working."

"This is what ordinary people wear most often. If you put your silk and other things here, no one will buy them."

"After all, those flashy and expensive things are never affordable for people here."

"But aren't these patterns too monotonous?"

Wu Ningdong said in a low voice,

"You probably don't know how complicated dyeing technology is. The price of this piece of cloth can differ several times if it's dyed or not."

"If your family worked hard all year and only earned ten taels of silver, would you be willing to spend a few taels of silver on those things?"

One year, ten taels! ?

Both of them were shocked by the data Gu Nian said.

Any item taken from the two of them could be exchanged for ten times this amount of silver.

A casual meal of theirs would cost more than just this price!

How can it be so little!

"What else do you think?"

Gu Nian sneered,

"If you just sit high and mighty in the palace and read those memorials, you won't understand these things."

"You have to know that what you can see is what they want you to see."

"They won't tell you that they can spend hundreds of taels of silver on a single meal, nor will they tell you that some of their subordinates only earn two or three taels of silver a year and can barely afford to eat."

"You should be thankful that cultivation is possible in this world. Otherwise, your Daqian would have been gone long ago."

Hear this.

Ji Qiyun fell into silence, and Wu Ningdong beside her was also speechless.

It turns out that the gap in this world is really so big!

The funny thing is, neither of them had any idea about this before.

So, what about Gu Nian?

Gu Nian's status is already at the top of this world, how could he understand it so clearly?

For a moment, the two of them looked at Gu Nian with complicated eyes.

Volume 231: Chapter 281 Chapter Mansion Master: This wave is stable!

evening.

Ji Qiyun returned to the palace, but in a corner of the palace, she saw a familiar figure.

Although I haven't seen her for many years, but...why does she look so much like my childhood sweetheart?

At this moment.

The man turned around and looked at Ji Qiyun with a smile.

"Qiyun, you are finally back"

Looking at his face, it was Jun Xuanyuan!

In the palace.

In an empty room.

This was the maid's room in the palace. Many years ago, a maid committed suicide here, and rumors of problems spread afterwards. No one lived here anymore, and it just remained empty.

On weekdays, no one dares to come here, which makes it very safe and a secret place.

So.

Ji Qiyun brought Jun Xuanyuan here directly.

"Why are you so late?"

Ji Qiyun looked at her childhood sweetheart with a slightly complicated expression.

The two have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship.

Although Jun Xuanyuan left Daqian later, he basically never came back.

However, the two of them have always kept in touch through correspondence, and their relationship has never been broken.

Talk about it.

Ji Qiyun has been waiting for Jun Xuanyuan, looking forward to Jun Xuanyuan's arrival.

Just because Jun Xuanyuan said that he would take her away from Daqian and save her from the sea of ​​suffering.

Ji Qiyun certainly knew what the price was.

But she had no choice.

In this whole world, the only one who can take her away from here is Jun Xuanyuan.

So, she has been waiting for Jun Xuanyuan until now, even remaining a virgin.

But is this because of feelings, or is it because of the promise to leave Daqian...

Ji Qiyun had never thought about this, not because she was not sure, but because there was no need to do so.

As long as I can leave, nothing else matters.

She really doesn't want to stay in Daqian anymore!

A palace full of intrigues, a family without any warmth of kinship, and now a queen mother who made her a puppet emperor.

And so much trouble, so many people who wanted to kill her.

Ji Qiyun felt that staying in a place like this for any longer was a torture!

now.

Facing the approaching Jun Xuanyuan, Ji Qiyun asked with some anticipation,

"When do we leave?"

However, when she asked this question, a sense of reluctance suddenly emerged in her heart.

As if.

What else is there here that she misses, and what else is there that she has not finished.

But, is this possible?

Although this is my home, I don't have any feelings for it!

There is no way I would ever be attached to this place!

After waiting for so many years, I finally got a chance to leave. I must not miss it!

She forced herself to put aside all the unnecessary thoughts in her mind and just looked at Jun Xuanyuan expectantly, waiting for the day when he would take her away.

however.

Jun Xuanyuan just shook his head and said,

"I'm sorry, Qiyun, we can't leave now."

"why?"

Ji Qiyun was stunned.

She has waited for so many years and finally waited until now!

Her long-cherished hope was right before her eyes and was finally about to be realized. She felt indescribably excited.

She really didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

But Jun Xuanyuan actually told her that she couldn't leave yet?

Jun Xuanyuan would never understand how painful it was to have this hope suddenly interrupted when it was about to come true.

natural.

Jun Xuanyuan didn't notice anything was wrong with Ji Qiyun, he just said,

"I'm here to do some things, and I need your help."

"So, let's stay here a little longer, okay?"

Will it take a while?

Ji Qiyun felt a huge sense of loss in her heart.

But she still pulled herself together and nodded with difficulty.

"Okay... I'll just keep waiting. It'll only take a few days."

She knew that the only person who could take her away now was the person in front of her.

No matter what the other party thought, she could only listen to him and continue to be patient for a few days.

"That's right."

Jun Xuanyuan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile,

"Qiyun, I know that your heart is with me."

"Based on our relationship, you will definitely not help me, right?"

"I still remember when we were little, I took you out to play."

If it were before, Ji Qiyun would still respond to Jun Xuanyuan's words in a cooperative manner.

But at the moment.

Ji Qiyun had no intention of cooperating at all.

Don't know why.

She didn't know how many times she had heard Jun Xuanyuan say this.

She used to think these words were good, but after seeing Gu Nian's sincerity, she always felt that there was something wrong with such words.

But she couldn't tell exactly where.

And if Gu Nian was here, he would probably be able to hear it.

He is trying to pua you!

I didn’t expect that the person who had always been a bootlicker for others would also learn pua?

Is it really a matter of treating people differently?

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Ji Qiyun asked curiously,

"What do you want?"

"You have to tell me before I can help you, right?"

"This... is not convenient to tell you for now. When the time comes, you will know."

Jun Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment, but still chose to keep it secret.

after all.

His goal is the dragon vein fortune of the entire Daqian!
