The clerk took them to the door of a room and knocked gently, "Miss!"
"What's going on!" A rough voice came from inside.
It turned out to be a woman, Zi'an was very surprised.
"The princess is here!" said the boy.
There was silence inside for a moment, and then the sound of footsteps was heard. After a moment, the door opened, and what came into view was a young woman wearing blue clothes. She was very heroic, with clear outlines, and she did not have a bun on her head, but He wears his crown like a man.
When she saw the princess, she saluted and said, "I didn't know that the princess was here, so I missed you from afar. I apologize, I apologize!"
Murong Zhuangzhuang looked at her and said, "Go in and talk."
"Yes," she told the waiter, "make tea and come in."
"Yes!" The guy turned around and walked out.
Entering the office, Zian looked at the place subconsciously. The room was all made of mahogany furniture, which was high-end and luxurious. There were account books placed on several tables, and the piles were dazzling.
There is also a small living room in this office. Shopkeeper Hu asked the two of them to sit down, and she also looked at Zian.
"Zian, this is Hu Huanxi, the shopkeeper of Dingfeng. Huanxi, this is Xia Zian, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Murong Zhuangzhuang introduced.
Hu Huanxi looked at Zian strangely, "So you are the famous Xiang's daughter Xia Zian."
Zian smiled, "I definitely don't dare to take on such a famous name. I have heard about the reputation of Ding Feng for a long time, but I didn't know that the chief shopkeeper is actually a young woman."
Murong Zhuangzhuang smiled and said: "The chief shopkeeper is a strange woman."
Hu Huanxi waved his hand, "Come on, princess, don't praise me, I'm just a businessman full of copper odor."
Zian didn't want to waste time with small talk, and was afraid that Xiaosun would get into trouble at Zuiyue Tower, so he went straight to the point, "Shopkeeper Hu, I took the liberty of visiting today. I want to ask your help for something."
Hu Huanxi said cheerfully, "Miss, please tell me."
Zian said: "I have a maid who was sold to Zuiyue Tower. I wonder if I can ask the big shopkeeper to come forward and bring my maid out? I will pay back ten times the amount of silver that Zuiyue Tower bought."
Hu Huanxi frowned, "Sell it in? Are you sure?"
"Yes, the person who sold her said it himself." Zian said.
Hu Huanxi looked at Zian, his eyes seemed a little surprised, but he said with admiration: "It's really admirable that the eldest lady is willing to go to such great lengths for a maid."
"She has sacrificed a lot for me, and I don't want her to get hurt." Zian said sincerely.
Hu Huanxi nodded, "Okay, because of the eldest lady's affection, I will definitely help you with this."
Zian didn't expect her to agree so quickly, and said in surprise: "Then there will be shopkeeper Lao Da. I will remember this favor."
Hu Huanxi looked at Murong Zhuangzhuang with a smile, "What's so unkind? I'm just a little sensible, otherwise wouldn't I have to go through all the trouble if the eldest princess gave the order? I recognized the task and accepted it. You can behave well in front of the eldest princess!"
Murong Zhuangzhuang smiled and scolded: "Okay, put away your business ways, I will leave this matter to you."
Hu Huanxi said with a smile: "It's true that you entrusted it to me, but you have to follow me, at least let them know that I didn't deliberately destroy the place, but someone came to the door."
Murong Zhuangzhuang asked: "What's going on? Is there anyone who dares to challenge the majesty of your shopkeeper Hu? It's your life."
Although he said it with a smile, there was also a hint of concern in Murong Zhuangzhuang's tone.
Hu Huanxi said: "Who would be convinced if a bunch of old men surrendered to a stinky girl? Because of the old man's face, he didn't dare to make trouble for me openly, but behind his back, who didn't want to slap me? It is even more unscrupulous to peel off my skin, especially in the second room, with the support of the general’s wife.”
"Well, I understand, then go ahead and hold on tight, Zi'an is very worried." Zhuang Zhuang said.
Hu Huanxi didn't delay and left as soon as he said it.
They went out when the waiter came in with tea.
Zian walked behind and felt that although this Hu Huanxi was just a woman, she had a very aura, as if she had been immersed in the mall for a long time.
As the princess said, she is indeed a strange woman.
The three of them took a carriage to Zuiyue Tower. It was now the time when Zuiyue Tower was beginning to become prosperous.
All three of them were women, so they entered the main building through the side door instead of the main entrance.
Gui Nu knew Hu Huanxi and invited them in.
"Come here with your eldest young master." Hu Huan said happily.
The turtle slave said: "Master, please wait a moment, I will go right away."
The turtle slave's attitude was very respectful, but when he retreated to the door, Zian heard him snort softly, showing great disdain.
She looked at Hu Huanxi and saw that she was sitting calmly, as if she didn't care at all.
After waiting for half an hour, a man in red clothes walked in.
He is Hu Xing, the eldest son of the second room of the Hu family.
Hu Xing didn't know Murong Zhuangzhuang, but he was shocked by the appearance of Zhuang Zhuang and Zian. He looked at them carefully, and then said to Hu Huanxi teasingly: "Hey, sister is going to send two beauties to brother? With their beauty, they can be our top picks in Zuiyue Tower."
Hu Huanxi said calmly: "Yes, just ask the princess if she is willing to be the number one in your Zuiyue Tower."
Hu Xing's expression changed, and he looked at Zian and Murong Zhuangzhuang in surprise, wondering which princess she was talking about.
Murong Zhuangzhuang said calmly: "Boss Hu, it is not impossible for me to be your number one. You must discuss this matter with my sister-in-law first."
Isn't her sister-in-law the current empress dowager
Hu Xing was startled and said quickly: "Princess, forgive me, the common people just like to talk nonsense."
Hu Huanxi said: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Let me ask you, did a little girl come to your Zuiyue Building today? She was sold here."
Hu Xing glanced at Hu Huanxi in confusion, then at Murong Zhuangzhuang and Zian, shook his head and said, "Today? I don't know about this. I don't care about these trivial things."
He said this with his mouth, but he was cursing his mother in his heart. When he came back today, he saw a little girl, she was Lao. The bustard bought it, but this girl started crying when she came in, and she was looking for life and death. She was so unlucky that she was ordered to be locked up. If she couldn't teach her, she would be resold to another building.
It seems that this girl is really troublesome. Hu Huanxi came to her door and brought the princess.
This is something that neither life nor death can admit.
Hu Huanxi said: "You don't know? Then go and ask."
Hu Xing groaned, turned around and called someone and asked, "Come on, go ask Hua Niang, is there a little girl here today?"
"Yes!" The turtle slave went out and came back after a while, "Young master, I asked, and Hua Niang said that she didn't buy a little girl today."
Hu Xing looked at Hu Huanxi apologetically, "Sister, I'm afraid I'm looking in the wrong place. Our Zuiyue Tower hasn't bought a girl today. Why don't we go to other places to look?"
Hu Huanxi seemed to believe what he said, "Well, I just asked casually. If you haven't bought it, forget it. By the way, how is the business at Zuiyuelou?"
"It's not good, it's never been good." When Hu Xing heard her question, he suddenly became alert and answered quickly.
This Zuiyue Building also belongs to the Hu family, because when it was originally invested, it was money from the public, but he did not turn over the profits. He complained about losses, and the accounts he prepared every quarter were all false.
