It is impossible for Fang Jinxiu, who had finally chased after her, to give up just because a courtyard gate blocked her.
She stood there and looked around, hoping to meet someone she knew and take her in.
But she is a girl who seldom goes out, even if she walks out more than other sisters, the only people she comes and go with are people from ticket companies.
Those who come here are either expensive or shabby, the expensive ones are rich and powerful families, and the shabby ones are mostly scholars.
Even if the family is poor, these scholars are also nobles.
Fang Jinxiu, who was from the rich and powerful families, simply didn't look at them, and fixed his eyes on the scholars. As expected, he saw a thin middle-aged scribe walking towards him, and Fang Jinxiu's eyes lit up.
She recognized this scribe, surnamed Wang and Mingyao, who was a scholar in the city, and now he was teaching in the county school.
The reason why I knew him was that he went to the ticket office to make a fuss.
His bank note was redeemed by his son, who said it was stolen, and came to demand compensation from De Shengchang. She was there at the time and spoke to comfort him. Fortunately, Mr. Wang was very angry, and he knew it when he calmed down. It was me who made trouble for no reason, so I apologized and left.
She knew this man, and she also knew that he was short of money.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang." Fang Jinxiu hurried forward to salute.
Mr. Wang was startled when suddenly stopped by a little girl, and he squinted for a moment before he recognized it.
Fang's ticket office is run by women, and he saw it with his own eyes last time at the ticket office.
Thinking of the ticket number, he looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded.
"Mr. Wang, I'm going in to find my cousin, can you let me pretend to be your maid?" Fang Jinxiu said straight to the point.
Mr. Wang was taken aback.
Seeing his hesitation, Fang Jinxiu hurriedly took out some broken silver from her purse.
"Thank you very much, sir. I am really worried about my cousin..." She said in a low voice, and handed over the money.
Mr. Wang's complexion suddenly turned pale.
"Absurd, what is false is false, and what is true is true. I will not do such a thing as deceiving a saint." He raised his eyebrows and shouted, flicking his sleeves and leaving.
Fang Jinxiu also raised her eyebrows angrily, and it was embarrassing to hold the silver in her hand.
"What a sour talent!" she cursed in a low voice.
Isn't it short of money? Isn't this killing two birds with one stone
I am ashamed and annoyed. There was a chuckle from the side.
Fang Jinxiu immediately raised her eyebrows and looked over. I saw a young man sitting beside a hollow rock, grinning.
This young man was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was fair and clean, and he was wearing a worn-out plain robe. Holding a wooden stick in his hand.
"Go for the money." Fang Jinxiu said angrily.
The young man stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Fang Jinxiu.
"Miss..." he said.
Fang Jinxiu glared at her before she finished speaking.
"Get rolling." She said fiercely, waving the whip in her hand.
She is not a delicate official lady, she has strength and cheekiness.
The young man laughed again.
"Don't you want to give money? You give me money, and I will take you in." He said. Pointing to the gate over there.
Fang Jinxiu looked at him vigilantly, scrutinizing him.
"You don't know who I am, it's really audacious to try to steal my money." She warned.
The young man clicked his tongue twice.
"You don't know who I am. Someone is stealing money here, and I'm the first one not to allow it." He said, hooking his hands. "Hurry up, come on, or not?"
This man is not a beggar.
Fang Jinxiu thought. Although he was thin and worn, his outstretched hands were clean, not even a trace of dirt between his nails.
He must be a poor scholar.
"Then I'll give you the money after you go in." She thought for a while and said, holding the money tightly.
The young man pouted.
"Okay." He said, he swung his head and put the stick on his shoulder, "Let's go."
Really
Fang Jinxiu was skeptical, but thought that Jun Zhenzhen, who had already entered for a moment, did not dare to delay any longer and followed.
Seeing the young man approaching, the big men at the door looked a bit disdainful, but they didn't drive him away.
"Chen Qi, what are you doing?" the leader asked.
List!
Fang Jinxiu suddenly understood.
The descendants of the Chen family, the original owner of Jinyun Tower.
Although the Chen family used to be a prince and general, after a hundred years, his descendants have long since disappeared from everyone. If it wasn't for the March 3rd in Jinyun Tower, no one in Yangcheng would remember him, let alone recognize him.
Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but look at the young man called Chen Qi.
No wonder he said that he was the first one not to allow money here, because he came to Jinyun Tower to grab money today.
"Go in and have a look." Chen Qi said lightly, walking inside.
Fang Jinxiu hesitated and followed with her head down.
"Who is this?" Sure enough, he was stopped and asked.
Fang Jinxiu wanted to say that she was his maidservant, but in time, she saw Chen Qi revealing her heel shoes.
Although I deliberately changed into simple clothes, no maidservants could afford Miss Fang's simple clothes, and it was impossible for someone like Chen Qi to use maidservants.
"This is what I sent in to make money."
While hesitating, Chen Qi's voice came from the front, Fang Jinxiu was startled and then furious.
What does this mean? Send it in to make money? What money do you make
The laughter of the big men also sounded.
The descendants of the Chen family took advantage of this day to try their best to steal money, even beggars. Naturally, they tried their best to make money, selling snacks and giving wine to their mothers.
So he didn't take it seriously, and someone asked what his last name was.
Asking what the surname is means to put it in. From the corner of Fang Jinxiu's eyes, he saw the man who guarded the gate write a Chen word.
This means that his own background is listed under Chen Qi's name, and Chen Qi will also be responsible if he causes trouble in it.
Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth.
"Fang," she said.
Hearing that the surname was Fang, some of the burly men glanced at Fang Jinxiu, with a hint of doubt, but there are many people with the surname Fang in Yangcheng, not all of them are from the wealthy Fang family.
Chen Qi had already entered with Fang Jinxiu.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Qi turned around and stretched out his hand.
"Here..." he said.
A few pieces of silver were smashed into the palm of the hand before the words were finished.
"Be careful what you say next time." Fang Jinxiu said with raised eyebrows.
Chen Qi weighed the silver and smiled nonchalantly.
"Am I wrong? Didn't you earn money for me when you came in?" He said, pointing to the money in his hand.
Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person if you let people in here just for money?" She said angrily.
Chen Qi smiled and turned his head to look at her.
"Little girl, what kind of villain can you be?" He laughed.
"I, I'm a thief." Fang Jinxiu snorted.
Chen Qiha laughed.
"A thief?" His expression sank again, and he said solemnly, "Then you remember, if you steal the money, I will get a share."
Fang Jinxiu snorted, didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and went straight inside.
The garden here is famous for its cloisters, connecting the north and the south, leading directly to the water pavilion, passing through the mountains and halls. At this time, there are many people in it, but it does not appear crowded. It is really quiet and interesting. No wonder this Jinyun Tower is praised by everyone every day.
However, Fang Jinxiu was not interested in looking at the scenery at this time, and was focused on looking for Jun Zhenzhen's trace.
