Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Chapter 72
The few times I went out of the mansion, I always walked on the street, and it was the first time I walked through other people's houses. There are so many unknown paths in the huge capital city.

Walking and walking, the roads on both sides were very familiar, after hundreds of turns, Yunzhu was startled, isn't this the alley beside Zhuhu Hutong?
laugh.

Thinking of Grandma Li's words, Yunzhu spat, and wondered that Lai Shangrong was going to dispose of the house here, so he sneaked to the door of the house.There are three streets separated from Lai Mansion's main entrance, and ordinary people can't get there in a short while, let alone walking.

It was dark under the lamp, no wonder he was so unscrupulous.

"What are you doing!" Yunzhu was walking with her head depressed, when suddenly a big bearded man in front of her shouted at the alley, even the sparrows on the locust tree were startled.

Yunzhu is not much less than that Que'er, Jia's family is a wealthy family, and Jia Baoyu is a noble son, such a family always value peace, where is there a time to shout loudly?
"This..." She was startled, and was hesitating, can't she go this way?

Turning her head subconsciously, seeing miscellaneous objects such as lanterns and trolleys piled up on the side of the street, she thought that they were all residential buildings, not to mention that the waiter in the shop wouldn't be able to point her to a road that she couldn't walk?
But when she saw a few little boys slid down from the wall, trembling along the bottom of the wall, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

What skinny person walking alone wouldn't be afraid of a burly eight-foot man, let alone she's just a child now.

Yunzhu coughed lightly, concealing her embarrassment, quickly turned around and aimed at the locust tree, slammed her legs tightly, and left the scene quickly after identifying the direction.

The big man was taken aback, recalling Yunzhu's face, pursed the corners of his mouth, wiped the beard on his chin, and couldn't help laughing.

In a blink of an eye, I saw a few boys in the corner, coughed a few more times, and said in a low voice: "Do you know whose house this is? It's the son of the chief steward of His Majesty's uncle's house, you little devils, get out!"

After the children left, he looked at the direction of Yunzhu's departure, scratched his head thoughtfully, then quickly walked into the alley next to him, talking to the servant in front, and kept making gestures with his hands.

……

A basket of food, a tael of silver has not been spent halfway, Yunzhu is jumping, it seems that there is still hope for a better life in the future, as long as I don’t pursue delicious food and fancy clothes, my current savings are enough to live alone Last six or seven years.

If there is no accident.

"Six children!"

It was that burly man again, but this time he was standing by the side of the alley with a happy expression on his face, Yunzhu couldn't help but be surprised that his eyes widened.

Seeing that there was no one around, the burly man simply grabbed the big black beard on his chin, scratched his head in embarrassment, and hurried forward to take the basket in Yunzhu's hand.

When the other party walked in, Yunzhu couldn't help the smile in her eyes, looked at Liu Ping, who had cramped hands and feet, and snorted softly in her nose: "So it's the third brother-in-law, I just wondered if I was scared to death... "

I haven't seen him for half a year. The boy who was already strong at the beginning is now more energetic and taller. Looking at the food he ate, he really didn't waste a single bite.

All of them thought about their own figure depressedly. Now they are afraid that they are not even four feet long. When will they start to draw bars?Yunzhu slandered in her heart, and she didn't forget to shoot a cannonball: "Third brother-in-law, where is my third sister?"

"Are you still living in Zhushikou? But everything is okay? Why..."

Lala miscellaneous, asked a bunch.

Liu Ping hid his smile and patiently listened to the little man's crackling, thinking, as his wife said, the sixth younger sister was really warm-hearted.

It's just that due to the venue, although he has a lot of words to say, but seeing that the basket is full of food, he just said: "Sixth sister is here to do business, right?"

Yunzhu nodded, and briefly mentioned Qingwen's family affairs.

The two of them were as busy discussing information, Liu Ping also learned a concise narrative method, and hurriedly said: "Come here to deliver a letter, and also take a look at the house. You can come to the house when you are free. Now We are still at Zhushikou, and your third sister has a lot to tell you! Well, your birthday is coming soon, this is a birthday gift from me and your sister!"

The joyful mood is completely different from the indifferent look of yelling at the child just now.

"Look at the house?" Yunzhu took the red paper package that looked like it was new, and grasped the important point.

"It's all thanks to the Sixth Sister! We are about to change our residence." He first gave Yunzhu a high hat, and then said: "The recipe for sweet potato candy first, hey, guess what! A person who claims to be in charge of the Rongguo Mansion is enough I bought it for 500 taels!"

Yun Zhu was being dizzy from the sudden surprise, and saw Liu Pingqi's Ai Ai saying again: "Sixth sister, this...is originally your prescription. I discussed it with your third sister for a long time, and I also think it's a prescription." A good opportunity to stand up, if we miss it, how long will it take us to earn it back? You don’t blame us for making our own decisions, do you?”

"No wonder!" Yunzhu slapped her thigh, extremely excited. She was immersed in the joy of more than 1000 taels. rich?

Liu Ping looked at the fluttering look for a long time before he felt relieved.How did he know that Yunzhu had no choice but to let others do it because he had no room to use it in the inner house.

"But, 500 taels, I can't afford a house near here." Yunzhu raised her head, and was immediately brought back to reality by the high house price.

What's more, the real estate in the core area is not something ordinary people can buy with money. When she was about to warn Liu Ping to be down-to-earth and not have illusions in her heart, she listened to Liu Ping bitterly.

"Your third sister and I set up a sugar making shop a few days ago. We thought that we could make a profit of three or two taels a day, which would be much more than that of a street peddler, and it would save us from the wind." It’s raining, making your third sister worry every day.”

Yunzhu nodded, the itinerant vendor has changed to a permanent operation, and it has indeed risen to a higher level.But if sweet potato candy is popularized, it will not be a long-term job for a family.

At present, the income of two or three a day, presumably the assembly line is not small.

But that can't earn the money to buy a house on the second ring road in half a year!What they know is that they boil sugar at home, but those who don't know think that the couple are closing their doors to do alchemy!
Unexpectedly, Liu Ping immediately turned from joy to sorrow, and said bitterly: "If you want me to say, these high-ranking and wealthy households are corrupt to the bottom! The master just likes to keep an eye on it, and our candy shop has no profit right now."

"I've inquired about it. It's that Lai, the big housekeeper of your family. His family has built a sugar factory outside the city, and charged a high price for the sweet potatoes in the city. Our small shops are almost dying!"

Liu Ping's low voice was almost dissipated in the air, leaving only a gritted face flushed with hatred, "The eldest son of the Lai family lives here, and I have been with him for several days, and I want him to taste the taste of chicken flying eggs." !"

So you didn't come to see the house, you came here on a step-by-step basis, Yunzhu listened to the sky and the ground for a while, at this time, after hearing all Liu Ping's words, even Yin Zi's surprise was diluted, and only panic remained in his heart, " What haven't you done yet?"

These three brothers-in-law are too tigers!
Could it be that he wants to take revenge on Lai Shangrong with his bare hands?
"Don't worry about it, go back quickly." Liu Ping smiled complacently, and hurriedly handed the basket and red paper bag to Yunzhu, and pushed her out of the alley, "This is the dividend that we agreed to give you first, Sixth Sister Put it away first, your third sister and I have some capital now, and we have figured out a new method, and we will give you bonuses when we make money in the next year!"

Yunzhu was immersed in the rhetoric that made Lai Shangrong look good.

"Don't go astray, my third sister is a woman who doesn't understand anything!" Even the third brother-in-law stopped calling, and Yunzhu's voice trembled in fright.

People don't fight with officials. Although Lai Shangrong is just a small official, he is also an official of the court, and an official who has a lot to do with the Duke's Mansion.

If she went the wrong way because of Liu Ping, not to mention that she and Zhao San had to sit together, I'm afraid that her parents who hadn't heard from her would be brought back and taken to the execution ground for questioning!
"Then Lai Shangrong is a stupid official who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil. It should have been cleaned up long ago. Don't worry, I have your sister waiting at home. How could I cause trouble? It's just a little bit of wind. We are safe!" He quietly leaned into Yunzhu's ear, whispered a few words like a ghost, and when he looked up, he saw the smoke rising from the Lai's house.

It's really courageous, setting fire to Lai's house, Yunzhu was secretly happy and scared, holding the red paper bag and basket, they both ran out of the alley.
