The person who came in was naturally Qin Xiangxiang.
Making money was so urgent that she couldn't even sleep well.
Qin Xiangxiang stood at the door of the foot shop, frowning and looking at the foot shop.
To be honest, she was a little disappointed when she saw the condition of the foot shop today. But he couldn't show it in front of Xu's mother and Hongxiu Tianxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at it for a while, then closed the door, wrapped up his hair, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin white arms, took the broom that Hong Xiu had placed by the door, and started sweeping with a golden knife.
She was used to doing these cleaning tasks in her own small yard, so it was not a problem for her.
After a while, the foot shop was filled with dust, almost choking Yao Erlang and others.
Yao Erlang was still thinking to himself, what was this little lady's plan? She was still embarrassing the two beautiful women this morning, so she started working alone next morning.
Just when Qin Xiangxiang had finished cleaning the foot shop, someone slapped the door violently: "Dali Temple is handling the case, please open the door quickly!"
The door was not closed, only closed. With a strong slap, the door leaf was pushed open.
Qin Xiangxiang trotted over dragging the broom and met Ma Sizhi, who had just arrived at Qin's house for questioning, and several servants.
When Ma Sizhi saw Qin Xiangxiang, he was a little confused for a moment.
Qin Xiangxiang said quickly: "I have met Ma Sizhi."
Ma Sizhi looked at Qin Xiangxiang's somewhat funny dress and paused for a while before asking, "Why is Mrs. Qin here?"
In Kyoto, it is quite easy for Dali Temple to check the property of an official’s family. Qin Xiangxiang had no intention of hiding it: "Go back to Ma Sizhi, this foot shop is my dowry."
In the Sheng Kingdom, although officials were explicitly prohibited from engaging in business, the dowry of female relatives was not included in this scope. Besides, who would be brave enough to report these things that everyone turns a blind eye to?
Ma Sizhi is not someone who doesn't know how to adapt.
But he was still surprised. This dilapidated foot shop is actually the dowry of the eldest lady of the Qin family? There are some things I can’t handle...
Moreover, Mrs. Qin also cleaned it herself...
Ma Sizhi felt a little more sympathetic to Qin Xiangxiang, but business was business, and the foot shop still had to be searched.
Ma Sizhi explained the situation, and Qin Xiangxiang immediately agreed: "Ma Sizhi, please." What a joke, if the murderer of Li Zhuang is really hidden in the foot shop, she is the most dangerous person.
Qin Xiangxiang immediately expressed the greatest sincerity: "If Ma Sizhi needs my help, just ask."
Looking at Qin Xiangxiang's thin figure and plain dress, Ma Sizhi nodded. Mrs. Qin is a good girl. If everyone cooperates like Mrs. Qin, Dali Temple will save a lot of manpower and material resources.
Seeing that Ma Sizhi was chatting happily with the owner of the shop, and Qin Xiangxiang was being generous, the officers were a little careless when they searched the foot shop.
When the officials from Dali Temple left, Yao Erlang breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xiangxiang also breathed a sigh of relief and started cleaning again without stopping.
Seeing that it was getting late, she left the foot shop with satisfaction. Before leaving, he stood at the door of the foot shop and looked around carefully, and finally walked away slowly.
Dinner is probably the busiest time near the foot shop, but the waterwheel alley where the foot shop is located is particularly lonely.
Of course, there is not just her one foot shop in Shuichuan Alley, there are several others along the way, but the business is average.
Pedestrians passed by in a hurry on the road, and only a few people went into a certain foot shop to eat.
Qin Xiangxiang hesitated for a while and walked into a foot shop that seemed to have quite a lot of customers.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a mixed smell of various foods.
This foot shop is like most foot shops. When you enter, you will find a dining hall with several dark square tables. To the right is a long table with several wooden basins of different shades containing food. .
On each bowl of food, there is a corresponding name and price of the food.
Even though Qin Xiangxiang didn't go out much, he was still surprised when he saw the price. Every kind of food here is actually ten cents more expensive than the same food in Tianshui Alley.
Ten cents is not even money for rich people, but the foot shop only deals with people selling their strength or earning a meager income, so it's no wonder that business here is deserted. Even Qin Xiangxiang had the urge to walk a few more blocks before eating.
And she didn't have much money in her pocket.
Standing behind the long table was a middle-aged woman with a dark complexion and a low bun. The middle-aged woman was very thin, with high cheekbones on her face. She was holding a spoon in her hand. When she saw Qin Xiangxiang, she glanced at her quickly: "Little lady, what do you want to eat?"
Qin Xiangxiang lowered his head to look at the food. The food was all dark, not even tasty or tasty. She had thought before that if the food looked good in color, flavor and taste, she would be willing to try it even if it cost ten cents.
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the customers who were dining. At one table were people in short brown clothes who looked like porters, and at the other table were two salesmen walking around the streets.
They were probably hungry and were devouring their food without even bothering to raise their heads.
Qin Xiangxiang looked back and asked the woman, "Why is it ten cents more expensive here than elsewhere?"
The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly became unfriendly. She looked Qin Xiangxiang up and down. When she saw that Qin Xiangxiang was dressed plainly, with a scarf on his head and a funny streak of dust on his face, she immediately said with disdain : "Little lady, if you are short of money, don't go out to eat."
Qin Xiangxiang insisted: "Why is it ten cents more expensive than elsewhere?"
The middle-aged woman became more and more impatient: "Little lady, please go quickly, don't stop me from doing business."
As he spoke, with a fierce look in his eyes, he was about to swing the spoon in his hand towards Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang had no choice but to walk out.
After only walking a few steps, the two salesmen in the shop just now, carrying the load on their backs, took a few steps to catch up with her and whispered: "Young lady, you have never been to Waterwheel Alley, right? The foot shop in this alley is... You have to pay a capitation fee.”
Qin Xiangxiang was startled. The two salesmen had already passed her and walked away quickly.
Qin Xiangxiang returned to his small yard empty-handed, where Hongxiu and Tianxiang were anxiously wandering around. When they woke up from a nap, the eldest lady was nowhere to be found. Isn't this scary? To be honest, they would rather do rough work under Qin Xiangxiang than live under Wu.
Seeing Qin Xiangxiang come in, Hongxiu Tianxiang almost burst into tears: "Madam, where have you been?"
"Went to the foot shop." Qin Xiangxiang said lightly, "Have the food been delivered over there?"
Seeing that Qin Xiangxiang didn't want to say more, it was hard to mention Hongxiu Tianxiang again. He just said happily: "I sent it here, there is quite a lot."
It's just not very fresh, it looks like it's been sitting there for a few days.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at the food delivered and thought that she must open the foot shop as soon as possible and leave Qin's house.
Mu Ting and Zhu Sanlang broke into the foot shop when Qin Xiangxiang was bidding farewell to Dali Temple officials.
Seeing Qin Xiangxiang and Da Ma Jin Dao cleaning, he was also a little confused and asked Yao Erlang: "What's going on?"
Yao Erlang was still a little scared: "The officials came just now to search the foot shop. Fortunately, they were not careful and didn't find us."
He was also very puzzled as to who this little lady was. The official of Dali Temple seemed to be very polite to her.
Mu Ting took out the biscuits and said, "Eat it quickly and wait until late at night before taking action."
Yao Erlang stuffed the biscuits in his mouth and asked vaguely: "Young Master, where are we going?"
Mu Ting bit the biscuit, looked deeply, and said after a moment: "Qin Gou's lair."
As cunning as a Qin dog, although he really left the capital, who would have thought that he would leave some lackeys at home to continue to harm his father?
