Chapter 557: Enter the Star City

"Yes, I don't know if you want to follow me?"
"The slave family is naturally willing."
Ying Niang nodded quickly, looking expectantly, Du Xuechun raised her chin toward Mingying who was aside.
Mingying hurriedly handed a purse with a gold leaf inside, which was several times more valuable than fifty taels of silver.
Then Ying Niang knew the universe within a short time after receiving it. Her complexion was calm, she knelt on the ground and said, "Miss Ying's great kindness to the slave house, Ying Niang will never forget."
The people on the side clapped their hands.
Therefore, Du Xuechun let Ying Niang handle the funeral alone, and sent two cloud guards to protect her. After all, a weak woman with a huge amount of money, it is inevitable that some people have some thoughts in their hearts.
Seeing her behavior, an older mother smiled.
"Miss, you must be a foreigner, the folks in our ten-mile city are simple and honest, almost all neighbors who moved from the town, there will be no bad people."
Having said that, Du Xuechun had seen too many reversals, and just nodded without taking her words to heart. The mother also saw that Du Xuechun did not take her seriously, so she shook her head and turned to leave.
After Ying Niang and the two Yun Yiwei had dealt with her father's funeral, the three returned to the inn together.
"The servant girl has seen the lady."
Just now Du Xuechun left early, and did not see Ying Niang's stature, now she is actually taller than Du Xuechun.
Few women can grow to this height. She was a little surprised, but didn't show it, and asked, "What happened in your house?"
When asked this question, Ying Niang's eyes changed and she seemed to not want to speak.
But she still spoke slowly: "The slave and maid’s family was originally a wealthy family, but she was framed by the culprits. The family’s money was lost. Her father ran away his family’s wealth for a while, and the servants were also dismissed. They couldn’t accept this fact. Passed away."
This was a bit lighter for two people, but only Ying Niang knew what she had experienced.
A smart person like Du Xuechun only needs to think for a moment to know her misfortune, and nodded with some empathy: "I know, but I am married now and you can call me a wife."
"Yes, ma'am."
Ying Niang was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that the young woman in front of her would be married as a woman.
Her icy eyes were full of indifference, and the whole person was like a proud green lotus, which made people unable to approach, really not like a woman contaminated with smoke.
"From then on you will follow me and do odd jobs, what do you do?"
"Mrs. Hui, the servant girl reads some books and makes some accounts because my father is a business man."
Du Xuechun nodded, if she knew these things, she would feel relieved.
Although this girl Mingying can do it, it is a bit violent to accomplish this kind of thing with her skills.
It just so happened that this newly-acquired girl was close to her, and she brought it with her directly.
But a few days later, Du Xuechun found out that this lady Ying is not an ordinary person who can read the bills.
She was almost several times more sensitive to these money than others. Before Du Xuechun had read the account book, she had been able to check it twice before she had finished calculating it.
This surprised Du Xuechun.
Now, she didn't dare to say that Ying Niang did simple tasks.
After discovering the abilities of this man, she sighed: "Even if you are a woman, you can go out and eat, why bother to sell yourself?"
But there was a slight wound in Ying Niang's eyes, and then quickly disappeared: "Madam, slaves and maids need a quick cash. There are almost no people who are willing to pay slaves and maids in advance."
Think about it. Although Dashun has opened up a lot of folk customs now, women are still in the role of trying not to show their faces, and women with high status have more freedom.
Almost no one takes care of things when going out and doing things, and everyone does it in the open.
Thinking of Ying Niang's fragile appearance, Du Xuechun shook her head. It was fate that made her meet her when the manpower was scarce.
The next stop for the group is Starcatcher City, which is some distance away from Shili City.
This city was the place where Du Xuechun and his group originally planned to come.
It is also a city with a good economy, and places often offer rare items to the capital to please the capital. Du Xuechun also has some impression.
Just because of the Star City, located in the center of the north-south border.
The topography of the capital is a bit to the north, far from the border of the country, so even if the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, Dashun has set the location of the capital remotely for generations.
Just because if one day the country goes to war, it will give the last line of defense a chance to survive.
And Starcatcher City, as an almost indispensable passage between the north and the south, the number of people inside is naturally huge, and it's the same as the water city next to the capital.
When Ying Niang knew that Du Xuechun and her party were about to come to Starcatcher City, her expression was a little unnatural.
But Du Xuechun didn't take her as a weak woman to heart, nor did he see her expression.
After another ten days, they finally reached their destination. Seeing the long line at the door, Du Xuechun couldn't help feeling a little irritable.
After sitting in the carriage for so many days, she really wanted to go around, but now, there seems to be a caravan in front of it, and it must be at least a quarter of an hour to get to them.
Seeing Du Xuechun's boredom, Ying Niang said: "Madam, the slave house was originally from the Starcatcher City. If you don't want to wait, you only need to pay five taels of silver to save time and enter from another channel."
Five taels? Why doesn't this Star Catch City grab it?
Du Xuechun was thinking about it in her heart, but she still honestly took out five taels of silver and asked Mingying to go in front of her.
During the time she spent on the carriage, her whole body was a little limp, and she really wanted to look down.
After Ying Niang and Mingying finished talking about their intentions, the latter nodded.
She walked directly to the front of the city gate and found the guard, who seemed to have seen this situation too often, and nodded.
He yelled: "Old Li, open the West Gate to investigate!"
The guard's voice was very loud. Soon, the old Li who was in the guard's mouth ran down, turned a direction with them, and came to Ximen.
Said it was the West City Gate, in fact, it was just a convenient one to spend money on. After quickly inspecting the goods they didn't have much, Lao Li directly and his own guards put everyone into the city.
Since this city is a big trading city, there is no need for guides. You only need to find out if everyone is carrying dangerous things.
Still the old rules, Du Qing directly pulled a passerby to inquire about the news of the inn, and the group found an open space and waited.
But at this moment, anomalies suddenly occurred.
