The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 880: Mengjiabao

Mengjiabao was a nice place with beautiful mountains and rivers. The old city walls had a unique atmosphere.

The city was not much different from other cities. However, the reason why this place was called Mengjiabao was because the majority of the families here were led by the Meng clan.

The Meng clan was a big clan that had stood firm since the previous dynasty. Within the clan, there were no officials, but rich merchants.

There were merchant caravans from the Meng families all over the world.

Furthermore, the Meng clan was a big clan. This place could be considered the hometown of the Meng family merchants. Those merchants had made a lot of money, but they did not forget to take care of their clan’s hometown.

Therefore, even though the city walls were old, the interior of the city was glorious.

The most famous thing about Mengjiabao was that it gathered all the rare goods in the world.

Therefore, the commoners and small merchants in the surrounding cities would also come to Mengjiabao to buy goods at a low price before selling them.

Naturally, these rare goods were not produced in Mengjiabao. Most of them were sent to Mengjiabao by the merchants of the Meng clan. Mengjiabao would then imitate the goods they obtained from other places.

Xie Qiao had not been to a place so far away. There were also many merchants in the Water Moon Temple, but this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful city.

The streets were paved with bricks, and the stalls and shops on both sides of the road were neat and clean.

The things sold on the streets were all different, which dazzled the people.

Meanwhile, the houses in Mengjiabao…

Were neatly built, and there were flowers and plants on the roadside. It was very unique.

The city was not small either. The three of them followed the address. After entering the city, they wandered around in the carriage for a long time before they found the place.

It was a big house in the inner city.

“Teacher didn’t say much in the letter… One can’t easily buy or rent houses in the inner city of Mengjiabao, so this house must belong to someone else. We didn’t inform them beforehand. It’s probably rude to visit so rashly.” Xiao Yurong got off the carriage first, standing in front of Xie Qiao’s carriage. He was a little hesitant.

The teacher paid attention to etiquette, and so did Xiao Yurong.

Just as he was about to make up his mind, the servant from the concierge ran over and bowed to Xiao Yurong. “May I ask if you are from the capital?”

“That’s right,” Xiao Yurong replied quickly. “The three of us are here to pick up our teacher. May I know if you have a guest surnamed Li?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Old Master Li has already instructed us. We have been waiting. Please come in, distinguished guests!” The servant said immediately. Then, he quickly called for someone to lead the horses for them.

Since he had said so, Xiao Yurong did not stand on ceremony anymore and invited Xie Qiao to get off the carriage.

Xie Qiao walked out and looked at the mansion of the wealthy family. She was a little shocked.

Mengjiabao was really wealthy. The merchant’s mansion was almost comparable to the mansion of the king of the capital.

The situation of Mengjiabao was special. No one would make a fuss about this mansion.

“May I ask who is the master of the mansion?” Xiao Yurong asked.

The servant answered respectfully, “My master’s surname is Meng, and he is a direct descendant of the Meng family. When the master was doing business outside, he got to know Old Master Li, so he came to stay with us. He was supposed to leave for the capital a month ago, but he didn’t expect that the old master’s disciple to be sick and couldn’t be moved rashly. He was worried that you would be worried, so he sent a letter.”

When they heard that, Xie Qiao and the other two’s expressions changed slightly.

He said that he had written to them to not make them worry, but Mengjiabao was not very far from the capital, and they could reach it in ten days. Was the illness… very severe?

They said that they were here to pick up their teacher, but in reality…. it was either for the doctor that Zhao Xuanjing brought with him, or for the three of them to say good-bye to their sick junior brother?
