There are actually not many foreigners in the Seiyi Pavilion in the capital.

Ji Chongning and Chen Dongyue gave a brief introduction.

Most of the Yi people here are from Dashi and Rakshasa Kingdoms.

However, there is another Siyi Pavilion like the capital in the south. There are few people from Dashi and Rakshasa Kingdoms there, and there are many Ryukyus, Siam, and Yi people floating from farther seas.

"How's it going? You've never seen so many Yi people, right?" Ji Chongning asked Chen Dongyue a little arrogantly.

Chen Dongyue nodded, "Ah, yes, yes."

Arguing with others was too tiring, so Chen Dongyue chose to do whatever others said.

The Siyi Pavilion of the Daiei Dynasty was a bit like an inn for foreigners.

But except for the Yi people, no one else can stay here.

But having said that, the Yi people couldn't live elsewhere. With the customs clearance documents, they could only live in the Siyi Pavilion.

In the Siyi Pavilion, there were also civil servants from Honglu Temple stationed there to assist the Yi people in doing business in the Great Rong Dynasty.

At this time, the clerk in the museum had noticed Chen Dongyue and Ji Chongning who were looking around.

So he stepped forward and asked, "Are you two looking for someone or a business?"

Most of the Yi people living in this Siyi Pavilion are here to do business.

These people will leave their information to the clerks in the museum. If someone comes to ask about business, the clerks will help them match up.

Of course, petty officials can also make a little money from it.

Therefore, when they see someone coming, the clerks will come up and ask.

Chen Dongyue was very curious, "I wonder what kind of business the Yi people here can usually do?"

The clerk looked Chen Dongyue up and down, and then glanced at Ji Chongning and the guards standing beside him, always ready to slash with a knife.

Then he replied warmly: "Dashi usually sells spices and gems, but some spices can only be purchased by the government and cannot be sold by the public at will.

There are relatively few restrictions on gems, but as you know, you get what you pay for, and most of the gems from Dashi are of high quality.

The Rakshasa people are different. If they sell, they can also sell leather or ice. When they come to our Da Rong, they usually come to buy a lot. "

"Ice?! Do we still need to buy ice?!" Chen Dongyue looked at the ice on the eaves that had not completely fallen off in disbelief, "Can't we produce ice ourselves or something?"

"You don't know something about this," Ji Chongning took out his unfortunate fan from his chest again, and then continued: "The people from the Rakshasa Kingdom came from the sea, and the empty ship is unstable.

Put some ice on the boat. Firstly, it can press the boat. Secondly, since wealthy people in the capital, almost every household has an ice cellar, and they use ice a lot in summer.

The selling price of the ice shipped from the Rakshasa Kingdom is similar to what we sell, so there are not a few people buying their ice. "

The young official Dui smiled and said: "Young Master is right. There is ice and snow everywhere in the Rakshasa Kingdom. The ice they harvest there is much better than the ice we have here, and it melts much slower!"

Chen Dongyue raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to retort, but heard Ji Chongning speak first, "The difference is where the ice comes from. It's just that the ice they picked is bigger and it melts slower than the ice here.

Since you are an official of our Great Rong Dynasty, you should not enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. "

"Well, it's not that big of a deal..." Seeing that the guard beside Ji Chongning had already put his hand on the knife, the junior official didn't dare to refute loudly.

"Okay, okay," Chen Dongyue said to Xi Ni, "How much can a little ice cube cost? Let's talk about something else."

For example...

"Eh? I heard that the Great Cannibal has always been good at making colored glaze. Do they usually do the colored glaze business?"

Talking about something that really makes money is serious!

The clerk's eyes lit up, "You really have asked the right person! A big food merchant actually came to our place two days ago. He said he brought some high-quality glazed pots and was looking for a buyer!

If you two are free, why don't you just wait here? The man will probably be back soon. "

Unexpectedly, Chen Dongyue shook her head, "No, we have something to do for a while. But please give him a message. If he wants to discuss business, then let him do the same thing tomorrow and just wait here."

"Okay, okay," the clerk nodded, "Then it's settled, I'll ask the big food merchant to wait in the hall tomorrow."

Chen Dongyue thanked the clerk twice, then turned around and left the Siyi Pavilion.

After leaving the gate, Ji Chongning asked her, "What else do you have to do? Anyway, I have nothing to do. Seeing as you are new here and not familiar with anywhere, I just want to accompany you."

"Ah," Chen Dongyue answered honestly, "I'm fine. It's just that the fragrance inside was very choking, and I felt a little dizzy after smelling it too much, so I just found an excuse to leave.

By the way, if you have something to do, you can leave first. I will go back first. See you later! "

After saying that, Chen Dongyue turned around and left.

Ji Chongning took a few steps to catch up, "Hey, eh, do you live in Zhang's house? I happen to be going to see Mr. Zhang, let's go together."

"Brother," Chen Dongyue stopped and turned to look at Ji Chongning, "Don't you have a home of your own? Do you have to follow me?"

Ji Chongning thought for a moment and replied, "I really don't have a home."

"Ha!" Chen Dongyue didn't believe him, "See if I believe you or not."

“My parents passed away three years ago, and my eldest brother also went with them, and everyone in my maternal grandfather’s family died as well.

Although my grandfather is still here, he doesn't like me too much. I live with my great-grandmother now.

But my great-grandmother's house also belonged to my grandfather, so...it seems like I really don't have a home. "

After speaking, Ji Chongning pursed his lips and shrugged at Chen Dongyue.

what? !

Chen Dongyue really didn't expect that this guy looked so cheerful and heartless, but his life experience was so miserable.

How could this comfort him? !

Ah, there is.

The best way to comfort someone is to be worse off than he is.

So Chen Dongyue said: "What, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention this.

But my parents are both dead, and my name is not written in Dehe Villa.

At least you still have a great-grandmother. I don’t even know where my great-grandmother’s grave is. "

After saying that, Chen Dongyue smiled awkwardly and shrugged towards Ji Chongning.

"...Is it fun to be miserable?" Ji Chongning said speechlessly: "If you really want to comfort me, you might as well treat me to dinner."

"Let's go," Chen Dongyue pointed behind her with her thumb, "Go to Xianyunxuan, I'll pay for it."

"Okay!" Ji Chongning was happy again, "Thank you, Boss Chen, for the treat. I haven't eaten enough at noon! I'm hungry now!"
