Chapter 122 Two Women Fighting for a Husband 2
Nan Xi returned to Qionghua City by herself. She wanted to buy a carriage and bring Feng Yige back with her. If his identity was exposed, he would definitely not survive.
Buy a servant who can drive you on the road and manage the butcher shop in the future.
The capital city is indeed extraordinary. The streets here are wide, flat and clean.
Various shops are scattered around, and the streets and alleys are full of people, making it very lively.
The long street is lined with small vendors doing business, and there is a constant stream of people coming and going.
Nan Xi walked around the street, found a teahouse, went in and ordered a pot of chrysanthemum tea.
When she comes out again, she will have a pretty good understanding of Qionghua City.
Nan Xi first went to the cloth shop to change her clothes, bought a brocade robe to wear, and then went to the largest dental shop.
The servant at the door looked at Nan Xi and saw that he was dressed gorgeously. He couldn't help but be more respectful and stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Sir, are you here to see someone or something?"
This brokerage firm is equivalent to a modern intermediary and can trade anything.
In addition to human trafficking, they have many other businesses.
From big things like house rental to small things like food, clothing, housing and transportation, we can take care of everything.
Nan Xi said directly to the servant: "I want to buy a servant, take me to see it."
The servant waved to another person to guard the door, and he took Nan Xi inside.
"Sir, please follow me."
The servant brought Nan Xi into an empty room, served her tea and snacks, and asked her to wait for a moment before leaving.
Then a steward came over with a group of young men.
"Please choose, sir. These are new arrivals. They are the best goods in our shop."
Nan Xi glanced at them one by one. These people were only thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and frail. They all lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at Nan Xi.
Nan Xi only took a glance and then looked away, "These people are ugly, how can I be proud to take them out?"
The steward's expression froze for a moment, and he smiled and said, "Since you are not satisfied, let's just change it."
The steward waved his hand and these people were taken away. Another group of people came in. Nan Xi took a quick look at them and shook her head.
After changing six or seven groups of people, Nan Xi was still dissatisfied.
These people looked either stupid or skinny, with pale faces and skinny bodies. They were not strong at all and were not pleasing to the eyes.
She bought the servant to do the work, and they would be living with him for decades to come, so she had to pick someone who was both capable and pleasing to the eye.
In fact, it’s not Nan Xi’s fault that she has high requirements. The world of immortal cultivation is full of handsome men and beautiful women. This body is also well-developed. There is also Feng Yige for comparison, so naturally she has high requirements.
The manager frowned and said, "Sir, this is truly the best in our dental practice. There is no other suitable young man."
Nan Xi threw a silver ingot to the manager and said, "I don't lack silver, just bring the good stuff from your store over."
The steward took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and then smiled.
"Sir, please wait a moment. The people below are too inattentive. I will go and arrange it myself."
Nan Xi waited for a few more minutes, and this time five young men came in. The biggest difference between them and the previous groups was that these five men were all fair and handsome, with outstanding temperament, and looked much higher class.
What’s even more rare is that these people are in good health and you can tell at a glance that they have been well-trained.
"Sir, these guys are all from good families, well-educated, and well-mannered. They are perfect for being book boys."
Nan Xi looked at them carefully. Each of the five people had his own unique appearance, so she pointed at one of them.
"It's just a stretch. It's him."
The young man who was chosen looked up at Nan Xi, then knelt down and kowtowed to her.
The steward smiled and asked the others to leave. He became even more respectful towards Nan Xi.
A servant actually has so many requests. It seems that this young man is of high status.
"Your vision is really good, I am far behind you."
"Stop talking nonsense. How much silver?"
"In reply to your question, sir, fifty taels of silver."
Nan Xi took out a gold ingot from her arms and threw it over.
"Is that enough?"
"That's enough! This man is yours, young master."
The steward took out a contract of sale from his bosom and handed it to Nan Xi. He took the gold and happily sent Nan Xi out the door.
Nan Xi took his men to the carriage and horse shop again, bought a fine horse, asked the owner to equip it with a spacious carriage, and then returned to Qinghe County with his servants.
Now that she had some free time, Nan Xi remembered to ask questions.
"Do you have a name?"
The servant knelt on the ground with a plop. "No, please give me a name, Master."
Nan Xi glanced at him and thought for a moment, "From today on, your name will be Liu Nian."
Liu Nian kowtowed to Nan Xi and said, "Thank you, Master, for giving me this name, Liu Nian."
The hill where Feng Yige was located was the only way back to Qinghe County. They took him along the way and the three of them set off.
Although Liunian was very curious, he obviously followed the customs very much and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Liunian was very diligent along the way. He was responsible for slaughtering prey, making fire and cooking, and driving the carriage, so Nan Xi didn't have to worry at all.
Nan Xi nodded with satisfaction. Being so well-behaved and obedient was worth fifty taels of silver.
Feng Yige woke up in the carriage, a day had passed.
He quickly thanked Nan Xi.
"Thank you for saving me. I don't know your name."
Nan Xi stared at Feng Yige, trying to see the answer from his face, but Feng Yige didn't react at all. He didn't know Nan Xi.
Feng Yige's scalp tingled when he was stared at, and he wondered in his heart, what does this mean, benefactor?
This look was not like those frivolous and dirty people in the capital, but rather seemed to be admiring.
Feng Yige had no choice but to lower her eyes and pretend not to know.
Nan Xi sighed and thought, forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it, you will be able to solve it one day in the future.
Nan Xi used the magic talisman to go ahead. She returned to Qinghe County, slaughtered pigs and sold meat every day, and lived a leisurely life.
Sun Wanning never came to see her again, but stayed at home in the Sun family, and no one knew what she was busy with.
Sun Wanning is making medicine in the pharmacy at this moment. This time, Sun Wanning decided to use medicine. The reason for the failure last time might be because Cui Nanxi was too lucky, so this time she decided to give him a more powerful one.
Sun Wanning bought a lot of herbs and prepared them in her room for several days. Finally, she made a sachet. She took the sachet and went to Cui's house next door.
"Cui Nanxi, this sachet is for you. You must wear it every day. Do you understand?"
Nan Xi took a sniff and knew the effect of the sachet. Many conflicting herbs were added to the sachet. If a person wore it close to the body, the medicinal effects would enter the body and the person would die suddenly within seven days.
Sun Wanning is so vicious and she wants to kill people. She can obviously cancel the engagement, but she doesn't do it in order not to affect her reputation.
Nan Xi accepted the sachet, and Sun Wanning went home without saying much. As long as Cui Nanxi died, she would be free.
Nan Xi was not idle either. She extracted the medicinal properties from the sachet, covered up the smell, and then put it into a jade bracelet.
This jade bracelet then had the same function as a sachet. Nan Xi also added some ingredients into it. She took the jade bracelet and went to the Sun family.
Sun Wanning wants to kill me, so it wouldn't be too much for me to retaliate a little, right?
