After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 28 The little girl who sells the coffin

The light in the coffin shop was very dark and a bit gloomy, so Cuihua lit a lamp.

Under the dim light, Li Chenan looked around.

The shop was quite big, and there were four pitch-black coffins in the shop, and then there was nothing else.

Cuihua took Li Chen'an and Li Chen'an to the west wing in the backyard, put the oil lamp on the table, and looked at the young embroiderer, her expression and words were not very enthusiastic.

"Sit down, I don't have any tea here."

Sitting at the table, Li Chenan suddenly had some doubts about the origin of the company——

He thought that the Department of Mirrors was a special department directly under the emperor.

This department also has extremely huge special rights!
According to reason, in such a department, the subordinates must be full of awe to the boss, but what he saw in Cuihua's eyes was impatience.

There was no awe in the slightest, and she even wished that he would leave quickly.

What's happening here?
"I'm the Embroidery Envoy who just took office a few days ago, and I'm in charge of the bronze agent of the entire Guangling Prefecture!"

Cuihua sat across from Li Chenan, her slightly sallow face showed a trace of sarcasm: "Needless to say, I can guess that you have only been in office for a few days."

"Is it because of Yaoguang that he left for a few days?"

"No, Yaoguang is not the embroiderer of Guangling Prefecture, she is the bodyguard of a certain important figure above! Our Guangling Prefecture has...has no embroiderer for three years!"

Li Chenan was taken aback, "Why?"

"Hehe," Cuihua glanced at Li Chen'an, "Why else? It's been three full years since the upper echelons have not issued a penny of monthly salary. Horses need grass and people need food. Do you understand the truth?"

Instead of being taught a lesson by this yellow-haired girl, Li Chenan instantly understood the secret hidden in the words of that handsome father-in-law in his backyard a few days ago——

It turns out that this is the real reason why Guangling Prefecture should have a full staff of 800 people, but now there are only more than [-] people left!

It turned out that this was also the reason why he said that the probationary period would take a year, but if he recruited all the people, he had to figure out how to get the monthly salary of these people.

This is his trap!

"Let me ask you, do we people in the Lijing Division enjoy great rights?"

Cuihua raised her shallow eyebrows, "You can't use this power to grab money, so what's the use of this power?"

On the contrary, Li Chenan felt relieved, "Then why haven't you quit the Mirror Division yet?"

The little girl pricked her cheeks and said angrily, "It's not because of my grandpa!"

"...what happened to your grandfather?"

"When he was dying, he passed the sign to me, saying, no one would dare to bully me with this thing, and he said that he could still earn two taels of silver a month, and he had nothing to do, so he kept it The coffin shop left by the ancestors can live comfortably for a lifetime!"

"I really believed in his evil!"

"With this broken brand, no one dares to bully me, but since I joined the Mirror Division, I have never seen anyone send me two taels of silver every month!"

"The business of this coffin shop is not good. If I hadn't guarded the temple next door to get some incense money from pilgrims... I, I would have starved to death!"

Li Chenan's eyes widened, and he asked cautiously: "How long have you been in the Mirror Division?"

"Three years!"

The little girl also stared at Li Chen'an, stretched out her little hand with three fingers, "Three years, do you know?"

"I'm only 15 years old this year!"

"I'm already the oldest bronze agent in Guangling Prefecture!"

The little girl sighed angrily, and looked at Li Chenan full of pity, "You are not a fool, why did you join the Mirror Division?"

"It's still a silver medal... Do you know that silver medals are different from bronze medals? Silver medals can never be withdrawn from the Mirror Division!"

"... What will happen if you quit?"

"What do you do as those eight masters of the Presbyterian Church? They specialize in picking up silver medals like yours!"

"The previous embroidered clothes envoy probably died like this!"

Li Chen'an was speechless for a moment, what the hell did he sell himself to Li Jingsi without signing the contract or getting any benefits?
Eunuch, there really isn't a single good thing!

Looking at the new Master Embroiderer, the little girl showed a heartless smile on her face, "Your Excellency, don't worry about anything, after all, the brand of our Lijing Division is still quite strong now, and what is missing It’s people and money!”

She leaned over, her small face full of anticipation: "Sir, it's actually easy to find people. After all, there are quite a lot of female heroes in Jianghu, and they are different from those male knights."

"At least they won't kill people for no reason, and they won't sing wildly like those male knights, drink alcohol and eat meat, and they won't go to brothels."

"That's why such women ask very little, and their appetites are small. Two taels of silver a month is enough for them to live well."

"Grandpa said that in the days when Li Jing was beautiful, Guangling City held an annual celebration meeting in Huaping Lake. The scene... was full of young and beautiful girls with swords on their backs. They flew from the shore of the lake to the painting boats in the middle of the lake. The fairy air flutters, making countless young talents bow their heads..."

"My lord, this subordinate thinks that with my lord's ability, we will be able to reproduce the glory of the Guangling Prefecture Lijing Division in the past!"

Speaking of this, the little girl stared into Li Chenan's eyes, and asked again full of longing: "Since my lord dares to take over the position of the embroiderer, my lord must have extraordinary abilities and wealth. Money, wealth, Ability is not too important, money is the most important!"

"Dare to ask your lord's name?"

Cuihua is of course looking forward to it.

But it's not the glory of the past, but three years!
36 months, two taels of silver per month, that's a full 72 taels of silver!

With this large sum of money, the gouache that has been eyed countless times in the Rouge Building in Guangling City can be bought wantonly!
And the beautiful skirts sewn in Tailor Xue's shop are also my favorite.

Looking at the young man in front of her, she seemed to have seen the white silver.

"My name is Li Chen'an."

The little girl's eyes widened suddenly.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pursed his lips, and asked again: "Which one is Li Chen'an?"

"It's the Li Chen'an who was kicked out of the house!"

The little girl was still looking into Li Chenan's eyes, but the light of hope that had been ignited in her eyes was gradually extinguished.

She slowly sat up straight, slowly looked away, looked at the light on the table, and murmured to herself:
"I finally know why you became an embroiderer."

She stood up slowly, "There is another pilgrim in the Four Temples next door. He looks rich. If you have something to ask me, can you wait for me to get some money for his incense?"

"That's very important to me, otherwise I won't be able to uncover the pot tomorrow. This coffin can be chopped up and used as firewood, but it can't be eaten!"

What can Li Chenan say?

He is also a victim!

"I'll give you two taels of silver first, and then let's talk about the Mirror Division, how about it!"

The little girl sat down resolutely, stretched out her little hand, and showed a joyful smile: "My lord, please, my subordinates know everything!"
