This man was much better looking than Xiahou Longcheng. He wore a yellow muslin robe and had a handsome face. He exuded an aura of gentleness and elegance.
The man was supposed to look comfortable, but his appetite was spoiled by the unpleasantness. He held a clean white handkerchief in his hand and gently wiped his lips after putting down the teacup. The way he held the handkerchief between his fingers gave Miao Yi goosebumps.
"You're Niu Youde?"
Kou Wenlan asked after Master Yuling had Miao Yi sit down. Her voice was gentle as well.
"What can I do for you, Commander Kou?" Miao Yi asked, but he was thinking, 'Is it for Huangfu Jun again? Is it for that woman Y? '
Kou Wenlan smiled. "I heard from Sect Master Yuling that you're the one who made all the treasures of your store, and that you're in charge of all the transactions?"
Miao Yi looked at Master Yuling and replied, "Yes. Are you here for those accessories as well, Commander Kou?"
Kou Wenlan nodded. "I should've come earlier, but this is Xiahou Longcheng's territory, so it's a little inconvenient. I finally managed to find some time to come, but I heard that your store's treasures are all sold out. That's why I hope Master Niu will give me some face and not let me return empty-handed."
Miao Yi smiled wryly. "It's not that I don't want to give you face, Commander Kou. They're really sold out. There's no stock at the moment. I even had the Deputy Head Steward make a trip empty-handed."
"I see!" Kou Wenlan pondered for a moment. "How about this? Don't be in a hurry to sell the goods when they arrive. Send them to my place first and let me pick through them. Once I'm done, you can bring them back to sell. Don't worry about the price. I'm richer than Xiahou Longcheng. I'll pay double whatever Xiahou Longcheng offers! "
"…" Miao Yi was speechless. 'How dare you say that?' He tried asking, "Commander Kou also wants to buy them for Shopkeeper Huangfu?"
Kou Wenlan nodded with a smile. "That coward Xiahou should look at himself in the mirror. Huangfu Jun? Y is interested in him? How can I let him take advantage of me?! "
Miao Yi, on the other hand, felt his scalp go numb. Xiahou Longcheng alone was enough of a hassle, and now he was here to join in the fun. Y is going to tear down my store. It's not that I don't want to earn this money, but this money is too hot!
Perfected Being Yuling secretly shook his head. Rich people were indeed capricious!
How could he not know Huang Fujun? Y was about to close his shop. What would he think if he knew about it?
"Commander Kou. Previously, the Second Head Steward also said the same thing as you. She said to send all the goods to the palace after they arrive and wait for her to finish selecting them. Now you're saying … I'm really in a dilemma! "Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Is that so!" Kou Wenlan gently wiped his lips with a handkerchief and pondered for a moment before saying, "I won't make things difficult for you. Send it to the palace first, then send it to my place after you come out of the palace. I'm not on good terms with Xiahou Longcheng, and it's not convenient for me to come to his territory often. I'll have to trouble you to make another trip. I won't mistreat you. "
Miao Yi really wanted to refuse. What about Huang Fujun? There was no way they could report to Y, but on second thought, why should they! Why should I not earn money? I'm doing my own business, what does it have to do with you, Huangfu Jun? 'Y has nothing to do with me. I'll talk about it after I earn the money …' He immediately cupped his fists and thanked, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Commander Kou. I'll definitely do as you say! "
"Alright! Then I won't disturb you any further. " Kou Wenlan waved his handkerchief and stood up to leave. He didn't leave through the normal route, but through the back door instead.
Two days later, Miao Yi left the Morality Goods Store with Daoist Deming and went straight to the West District Commander's Office to meet with Xiahou Longcheng.
Hearing that the goods had arrived, Xiahou Longcheng coughed and said, "Brother Niu, there's no hurry to enter the palace. Take out the goods and let me broaden my horizons first."
Miao Yi didn't think too much about it. An exquisite custom-made wooden box was brought out. Like a bound book, it could be flipped open page by page. Hundreds of exquisite jewelry of different sizes were pinned on top of it.
"Tsk tsk! It's beautiful. "Xiahou Longcheng took one out from time to time to fiddle with it. His eyes lit up as he flipped through the pages.
Miao Yi reminded him, "Commander Xia Hou, Shopkeeper Huangfu found me and asked me to buy back the Starry Sky you bought at the original price. He only gave me three days. Otherwise, he would force our general store to close down. What do you think we should do? "
Daoist Deming was shocked. 'There's such a thing?'
"Ugh … What I bought is mine. What right do you have to take it back?" Xiahou Longcheng turned around and glared at him.
Miao Yi sighed and said, "It's not me who wants to take it back. Shopkeeper Huangfu wants me to take it back. Otherwise, she'll close my store."
Xiahou Longcheng reached out and patted his shoulder. He said cheerfully, "Don't be afraid! Have you forgotten whose territory the West District is? With me protecting you, Huangfu's words won't be of any use. "
Miao Yi tried to ask, "Lord Commander, can you guarantee that the store will be fine?"
"Of course!" Xiahou Longcheng patted his chest loudly, but his eyes turned and he immediately coughed. "I can't help you for free, can I? This, this, and this. These are not bad. I'll keep them and admire them first. "
The bastard flipped through a few pages and took out five jewelry in a row. Without Miao Yi's consent, he immediately put them into his storage ring.
'Admire my ass! This is a blatant robbery! ' Miao Yi cursed his ancestors. If he kept them to admire them, how could he expect to get them back?
He was quite skeptical of Mother Xu's words. 'Does this guy really have such a powerful background? Why does he look so poor? '
However, he endured it. It wasn't anything valuable anyway. Who could guarantee that Huangfu Jun wouldn't interfere? If Y interfered, it would be worth it to give these things to this bandit commander.
"Alright! Put them away and follow me into the palace! " Xiahou Longcheng closed the wooden box with a satisfied expression. A few of his subordinates next to him looked outside and pretended not to see anything.
Under Xiahou Longcheng's lead, Miao Yi and Daoist Deming followed him all the way through layers of checkpoints and entered the Guardian Palace. As soon as they entered the palace, Xiahou Longcheng immediately became a well-behaved Lord Commander. His words and actions were respectful.
The three of them didn't wait long in a side hall. The palace maid who went to report came back and led the three of them to the rear palace.
Along the way, there were pavilions, terraces, jade mansions, and trees. The palace maid led the three of them into a garden filled with exotic flowers and plants. She asked the three of them to wait while she waited with them.
Not long after, the Deputy Chief Steward appeared. He was accompanied by a beautiful woman in palace attire, followed by a few palace maids.
The woman's hair was in a bun and she had a voluptuous figure. Her skin was white and tender, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her red lips were alluring. She was dressed in a long blue dress, revealing half of her snow-white chest. In her arms was an extremely beautiful and adorable pink fox.
Even though Miao Yi and Daoist Priest Deming had never seen her before, they didn't need to guess to know who it was that the Deputy Head Steward respectfully accompanied her, and that pink fox. It was most likely Madam Biyue.
The two of them walked into the long pavilion in the garden. After the beautiful woman with the fox sat down, the Deputy Chief Steward walked to the steps outside and called out, "Come in."
As soon as Miao Yi and the others entered, Xiahou Longcheng immediately cupped his fists and saluted, "Your humble servant, Commander Xiahou Longcheng of the Western District, greets Madam."
Miao Yi and Daoist Deming naturally followed suit and saluted. Daoist Deming was not used to this kind of occasion, but Miao Yi was already used to it.
"No need to be so polite." Madam Biyue handed the fox in her arms to the palace maid beside her and slightly raised her hand to indicate for them to rise.
The Deputy Chief Steward lowered his head and transmitted his voice. Madam Biyue's gaze immediately fell on Miao Yi and she asked, "You are the Niu Youde who helped me find my fan on Planet Formless?"
'Fan?' Miao Yi was startled, but he quickly realized that she was referring to the pink fox. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for asking, Madam. It was pure luck that I met her." He was a little worried that the vixen would say something bad behind his back. He glanced at the fox in Madam Biyue's arms and found that the fox was also staring at him with ill intentions.
Madam Biyue nodded and didn't say anything else. Instead, the Deputy Chief Steward spoke, "Niu Youde, take out the jewelry you brought."
"Yes!" Miao Yi immediately summoned the beautiful big wooden box and handed it over with both hands.
The Deputy Chief Steward stepped forward to receive the wooden box and placed it neatly on the table at the side. As soon as the wooden box was opened, all kinds of beautiful jewelry were immediately revealed.
"Madam!" The Deputy Chief Steward gestured.
Madam Biyue stood up and walked to the side. When she saw the jewelry, her eyes immediately lit up. She took them down one by one to admire and occasionally tried to put them on.
The Deputy Chief Steward immediately took out a big mirror and placed it on the table for Madam Biyue to compare.
After seeing what she was satisfied with, Madam Biyue turned around and showed it to the Deputy Chief Steward, "How about this one?"
"Madam looks good wearing it." The Deputy Chief Steward immediately praised.
Madam Biyue took it down and handed it to the Deputy Chief Steward. The Deputy Chief Steward immediately took out a jewelry box and put it in.
Xiahou Longcheng was very tactful. From the moment Madam Biyue put on the jewelry, he turned around and faced the outside of the pavilion.
Miao Yi and Daoist Deming looked at each other. It seemed that it wasn't the Deputy Chief Steward who wanted to see the jewelry, but Madam Biyue.
After going through hundreds of jewelry for almost four hours, Madam Biyue finally stopped after she tried them on one by one. Miao Yi, who was silently calculating, realized that she had already taken more than fifty pieces in one go. She really wasn't lenient at all.
Satisfied, Madam Biyue took the pink fox into her arms and sat back on her seat. She sighed, "I'll just take these. How much?"
Miao Yi quickly replied, "Madam is giving the store a lot of face by taking a fancy to the jewelry. If outsiders know that Madam is also wearing jewelry from the store, just this point alone will make the business of the store prosper. How can I still accept Madam's money?"
"You really know how to talk." Madam Biyue smiled and didn't argue with Miao Yi about the money. She tilted her head and said to the Deputy Chief Steward, "Give them the money later." She didn't say how much.
"Yes!" The Deputy Chief Steward replied.
Madam Biyue suddenly sighed again, "The items are not bad, but I feel that there are some flaws. If only there was a set that was suitable for me."
The Deputy Chief Steward immediately stared at Niu Youde, "Niu Youde, can you think of a way to tailor a set for Madam? The kind that comes with a full set! "
