Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 320 Sisters
Huang Yuanwai sat at the door and saw a woman coming out of a nearby house.Cleaned up elegantly and cleanly, not as usual.Seeing Yuanwai Huang sitting outside the door, the woman smiled at him.

Huang Yuanwai's heart fluttered, he got up and said, "Where is sister-in-law going?"

The woman said: "Recently, my official's business is not going well. I heard that there is a nunnery outside the city. The gods inside are extremely effective. I have nothing to do today. I will go there to burn incense. May the gods bless and make things better soon. "

Huang Yuanwai looked at the little maid staring at him with unkind eyes.She smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, go all the way."

The woman resigned from Yuanwai Huang and hired a little green donkey outside the shop.Led by the maidservant, he left the city.After leaving the city, head north, and after walking for three or five miles, you will arrive at the foot of Ziyun Mountain.Under the shade of several big oak trees in front, there is a small nunnery.

When she arrived at the gate of the nunnery, the woman got off the green donkey and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door creaked open.Inside, a handsome nun looked the woman up and down, and asked, "Madam, what is the reason for knocking on the door? Our small nunnery was built by the people nearby, and we don't accept pilgrims."

The woman said: "Go back and report to the nunnery master that the jade slave from Kaifeng mansion came to the nunnery today, and she will naturally know."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Yu Nu. Wait a moment." The little nun saluted and turned her head to enter.

Not long after, the little nun opened the door and came out.He saluted and said: "Madam, please come in. The livestock are tied to the horse stakes over there, and there is fodder in the nunnery."

Yu Nu thanked her and followed the little nun into the nunnery.The little maid took the donkey and tied it to the side.He went into the nunnery and asked for some fodder to feed to the donkey.Sitting alone on the big bluestone next to him, he rested his chin and looked at the surrounding scenery.

This nunnery is small.In a small yard in front, some flowering trees were planted.There is a lotus pond in the west, full of lotus seeds.The four thatched huts, though simple in appearance, are extremely clean.

After entering the courtyard, the little nun said: "In the west room, my wife's friends are waiting. Madam just go. The nunnery master is not feeling well today, so I don't see any guests."

Yu Nu thanked her without saying much, and moved to the west door.Standing in front of the door, he coughed lightly.

When the people inside heard it, they were pleasantly surprised: "Is it sister Yu Nu? I miss me so much these days!"

Following the words, the door opened, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman stood there.

Yu Nu smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my sister is getting more and more fresh. Let's go in and talk."

Entering the house, the two sat down by the window.Pour tea and talk slowly.

Yu Nu said: "Since the city of Kaifeng was broken, we have been drifting apart. I only heard that you were in Chenzhou a few months ago. I wrote a letter in a hurry, but you wrote back but said something badly. Alas, we are all hard-fated people .”

The girl said: "Is there any way? We were all sold to our mothers since we were young, so we can only live like this."

Yu Nu said: "Pingping, tell the truth, if there is a chance to live another life, would you like to do it with me?"

Pingping raised her head, looked at Yu Nu, and asked suspiciously: "Why does my sister ask like this? Of course I can't let go of the opportunity!"

Yu Nu nodded and looked out the window.The branches of several great live oaks stretched out into the yard and shaded the windows.The autumn wind blows, and the oak leaves sway gently in the wind.A bird whose name is not known dances gently with the branches.

After a while, Yu Nu said: "A few days ago, a member of the staff came to me and said that there is a business in Xiangcheng. As long as I do well, I will give me fifty guan. Fifty guan, how many days do we need? Can I earn it? I didn't think too much about it, so I came here."

Pingping said: "With such a high price, I think it won't be a good business."

Yu Nu shook his head: "You're thinking wrong, this is a good business that you can't even think about. It turns out that Yuanwai is a robber, and he took a fancy to a Yuanwai in Xiangcheng County who came back from selling cotton cloth in Xiangyang. How much is the cotton cloth now? Money? I heard that in Xiangyang, it costs ten bolts a piece, and I don’t know how much it costs when transported to the north! That’s a big official, and he sells thousands of bolts of cloth at a time.”

"Ah!" Pingping couldn't help covering her mouth after hearing this. "Thousands of pieces of cloth? Isn't that worth tens of thousands of coins!"

Yu Nu nodded: "That's right, tens of thousands of dollars. With such a big business, it is conceivable that these people are not ordinary people. The member who hired me only asked me to seduce the cloth seller Huang Yuanwai and let him agree to turn around. Yingchang Mansion. As long as they leave the Ruzhou border, they can do whatever they want."

Pingping said: "That's right. When I was in Chenzhou, there was a lot of chaos, and I didn't dare to go out during the day. Soldiers and bandits would come to my door from time to time, eating and drinking for nothing at my place, wanting, wanting more I sleep with them."

Yu Nu smiled, with helplessness in his smile.Said: "We are this kind of people, and we live this kind of life."

Pingping said: "As soon as I entered Ruzhou, I felt different. You can walk boldly on the road without worrying about being robbed by strong people. When you arrive in the village and city, you can stay in a shop casually, and no one will bully me, a girl. After entering Xiangcheng County , but it’s terrible, since I left Kaifeng Mansion, I have never seen such a prosperous place! Those of us are lucky to live in such a place!"

Yu Nu nodded.He said: "Yes, in this world, I didn't expect there to be a place like Xiangcheng. I heard people say that the towns further south are more prosperous. Especially Dengzhou and Xiangyang, they are almost as good as Kaifeng in those days."

Pingping stretched out her hand and held Yu Nu.Said: "Sister, shall we go south?"

Yu Nu said: "Of course it is good. But we must have money first, otherwise what will we live on? Is it a skin business? The two of us can neither play piano, chess, calligraphy, nor sing and dance. Good skin. You can't do without money!"

Pingping lowered her head and whispered, "I just saved my life these years, but I didn't save any money."

Yu Nu held Pingping's hand and said to her: "I am the same. There are wars everywhere, how can we weak women save money? But it doesn't matter, there is a chance to make money right now! If you do it well, you can make a lot of money !"

After hearing this, Pingping said, "Is this why my sister called me here?"

Yu Nu said: "Of course I want to go south with you. Besides, we sisters are of the same heart and make money first!"

After speaking, Yu Nu picked up the tea and took a sip.Turned to look out the window.The bird was still standing on the branch, fluttering up and down in the autumn wind.The oak leaves were still green and shaded the sun.

Putting down the teacup, Yu Nu said: "That cloth seller Huang Yuanwai was very careful. Although he was tempted, he refused to let Xiangcheng enter the territory of Yingchang Mansion. The Yuanwai who came to me earlier had no choice but to promise me that as long as Huang Yuanwai went to Yingchang Mansion , you can give me [-] yuan! And it’s agreed, it’s the club used in Xiangyang, and the two of us can easily take it away!”

Hearing the number of five hundred guan, Pingping felt her heart pounding.With five hundred crowns, you can buy a house and start a business.Moreover, the two of them are young women after all, and they have done a good job, so it is not difficult to find a good man to marry.

Yu Nu said: "I don't agree—"

"Ah—" Pingping couldn't help calling out.

Yu Nu smiled and said: "I asked that member for [-] guan, even if I don't have a penny! Pingping, we don't need to rely on men anymore! Buy a house, hire people to do business, and support ourselves!"

Pingping hurriedly said: "Five hundred guan is already a very large number, would they be willing to have [-] guan?"

Yu Nu sneered: "Huang Yuanwai's business is tens of thousands of dollars. They have no choice but to give it away. However, I think those people have murderous intentions. We got the money, so we have to figure out how to get rid of it!"
