Chapter 1817 Mother and Daughter Talking Hearts
Li Ziyu hurriedly said: "I bought a few Shandong pancakes with braised pork. It's delicious. Come and try one, Officer Lian."

Lian Nishang frowned looking at the multigrain pancakes wrapped in oil paper, "It's not very good to eat in the study room, but thank you for your kindness."

Only then did Li Ziyu remember that the chief had emphasized not to eat pungent food in public places on weekdays, and thought that he had been negligent for a while, so he hurriedly put away the pancakes.

Watching Lian Nishang leave, Li Ziyu thought to himself: "This little lady is really hard to deal with."

On Liurong Street, Dong's small shop took off its cover after a busy day, Dong Xiang fixed the door, Yun'er cleaned the tables and chairs, and both of them went to sleep.In the store, only Dong Mingdang was still on the accounting table planning to make accounts.

Her abacus is not proficient, and there are often pauses, and the sound of flicking and knocking beads echoes in the empty shop.It's getting more and more lonely at night.

Aunt Jiang cut the candle flowers, and said distressedly: "It's getting late, why don't you go to bed? This account will be settled tomorrow morning."

"Someone came to hand in the laundry early in the morning. They have to keep accounts and make money. There are so many things, how can we have time to settle accounts?" Dong Mingpeng rubbed his eyes, "Our small business, we need to settle accounts. It won't be long. Besides, I have to help Lan'er wash the vegetables tomorrow—the side dishes are almost sold out, and everyone says you are good at pickling vegetables."

Aunt Jiang leaned on the edge of the table and sat down, sighed, and said: "What a crime! In the past, our mother and daughter were in the master's house. Although you were not very proud, you were spoiled and spoiled. You have no worries about food and clothing. Now you are doing business by yourself. Not only do you have to show your face , you have to do all these hard work—mother, it doesn’t matter. You are still a girl of yellow flowers, so you manage like this, not to mention suffering and suffering, and your reputation is not good.” She sighed, and said, “A few days ago, someone came to say goodbye to that My lord, my mother thinks it's good. A rich family who knows everything, and a well-educated family. If I agreed at that time, it would save you so much trouble now!"

Dong Mingpeng said: "Mother, I feel that life is comfortable now. What good is being a concubine for others? You have been a concubine for Mr. Dong all your life, and you can only be angry or angry. In the past, our mother and I lived in three rooms. Don’t even dare to step through the door easily. Don’t talk about seeing the masters and aunts, even the maids and servants who have dignity have to be humbled. How much uselessness have you suffered in vain? The master came to your house once, the kitchen is a little bit better The food is good, and if we don’t come for ten and a half months, we will send us off with the leftovers. Our mother and I are the least ones to make new clothes for the New Year—I am not his blood, so there is nothing to argue about. You have served him for more than ten years anyway, I also gave birth to a son and daughter for him, even though I didn’t raise them, I shouldn’t insult you like this after all, right? Then Master Zhu, you are sure that he can be better than Master Dong? I think this man is like a bird of a feather.”

Aunt Jiang sighed again, and after a moment of silence she said: "Pang'er, I know you have a strong nature and want to do something on your own. But you are a girl after all, and you are always from a family of poets and scholars. You have made a living like this, How can there be a decent family willing to hire you in the future? It doesn’t matter, mother, they are all in their thirties. Do you want to hang out there? Even if you suffer a little, you will pass as a low-level person. At least I can give you food and clothing Worry-free. I will find you a decent man to marry in two years, and my mother will have nothing to worry about. Doing such a small business now will get in the way of your lifelong affairs, and if something happens and you can’t continue, How do you make a living?"

Dong Mingpeng smiled and said: "Mother—you are worrying too much. Our mothers have lived under the fence for more than ten years, not to mention being angry or not. Now, Master Zhu, you can guarantee that he is willing to support you for the rest of your life? When you were in the Dong family Didn't you always worry when the master didn't come to your room for a month or two, would you be afraid that the master would get tired of you and want to kick us out? It's not a problem to look up to others, and neither is your daughter. People who can’t swallow this breath—but even if you look at people’s faces and be cautious, you may not end well. You still have the confidence to support yourself. As for the business, my daughter still thinks the same way: there are everywhere in Guangzhou For silver, it depends on whether we can pick it up, the Australians have a clear world, and it is easy to do business."

Aunt Jiang wanted to say something more, but she didn't say anything more after thinking about it.Said: "Mother is a useless person. You are knowledgeable and assertive. It's up to you. It's just that you have to remember your own identity. You must show your face when you do business, and you must behave properly!"

Dong Mingdang answered "Yes".Aunt Jiang said with a straight face: "Today you gave the honeysuckle to Li Bukuai, it is very wrong for you to deliver it yourself, let Laner or Dong Xiang do it. And the flowers on the paper bag - you painted it Forget it? Although we are doing business, it is our duty to make good friends in the family, but it would be a bit frivolous to do so."

Aunt Jiang said again: "That's all. Mother knows that you are trying to win over him, but you have to have a degree in everything! What if Captain Li gets upset? He thinks you are interested in him, and when the time comes, ask him What is a good matchmaker? If you agree with him, even if you are wronged, your mother will not bear it-he is a subordinate after all; if you shouldn't, but let him hold a grudge. Which of these fast yamen servants is kind? The key point People like us who are rootless and bottomless can do nothing more than lift a finger."

Dong Mingpeng said in a low voice: "Mother, you are right. It's my daughter's mistake. However, in my daughter's opinion, Australian policemen are not the same as Daming's fast-moving Yamen servants. Then Officer Li looked at his words and deeds in the past. The exaggeration of the son of the family, but he is a decent person, definitely not like this. Even if there is any emergency, Liu Fu Yin's housemaid and daughter are considered friendly, if something is urgent, you can ask her."

After coming out of Guangxiao Temple, Dong Mingdang prepared a souvenir from Guangzhou to meet Guo Xi'er.In order to gain a relationship with her.Guo Xi'er didn't have any acquaintances in Guangzhou, so she was bored because of work.Dong Mingdang's visit was exactly what he wanted.Dong Mingpeng is a shrewd man who was squeezed out of a rich family, and he can speak by observing words and expressions.Guo Xi'er is also a man without a city in his chest, so when he came and went frequently, the two of them became handkerchiefs and walked around frequently.This is also one of the important reasons why Dong Mingdang has the confidence to open a store.

Aunt Jiang said: "You have to know how to measure yourself! It's better to ask others than to ask yourself."

Dong Mingdang thought that this would mean "begging himself"!She suppressed her laughter, bowed her head and said, "Mother is right."

Aunt Jiang got up and said, "I won't disturb your work, you're done, go to bed early." Her eyes were distressed and worried, "Don't be exhausted."

"Don't worry, mother, I'll go to sleep soon."

"Your feet must be bound tightly before you rest. I have seen your feet loose these few days." Aunt Jiang "reminded" seriously, "Mother took a lot of effort to bind your feet back then. If it comes out, if you don’t wrap it tightly, all your hard work will be in vain.”

Dong Mingdang had secretly loosened her feet for a few days, but she still couldn't escape her mother's eyes, so she replied, "Yes, my daughter knows."

The Public Security Section of the Guangzhou Special City Police Department in Dasong is a busy scene every day, and those arrested by the patrol police and the National Army are sent here in an endless stream.The lobby of the government office, which is used as an office, is often overcrowded and full of voices.

Although there are two powerful armed forces stationed in the city of Guangzhou, the Nationalist Army and the Fubo Army, to maintain law and order, but at a time when the Ming legal system has collapsed and the glory of the Senate has not yet shined on the land, there are naturally many people who want to fish out of the chaotic situation exist.In the first month, vicious cases emerged in endlessly. After several months of "severe crackdowns", murder and robbery cases dropped sharply, replaced by a large number of fraud, theft, pickpocketing, extortion, fights, and destruction of public property , Destruction of sanitation... and other security cases poured in.This is not because of the explosive growth of public security cases in Guangzhou, but because these crimes in the past were not counted as cases in the legal system of Ming Dynasty, and some of them were because of things that people used to take for granted in the past, but now they are considered small and micro public security cases. naturally rose

Li Ziyu's main job in the security department is to deal with these people who were turned away by patrol officers.Some are defecating on the street, some are fighting, and some are disputes between neighbors... With Agui as a respectful subordinate, Li Ziyu feels more and more sensible about her decision to become a policeman. If she is not satisfied with anything, she cannot personally Give these ghosts and monsters a few killing sticks—the use of whips and canes is not allowed in the police station, and there are other people who do this.

"Ah Gui, take these two to the back and hang them up for me, let them extinguish the fire first, and then hand them over to the Magistrate's Court."

Li Ziyu handed over to Agui the two young men who had beaten and robbed vegetable farmers outside the city. In the detention room at the back, there was a pole mounted on the wall, which was hung up and handcuffed to the pole. Up, the body is not hanging in the air, and the toes are on the ground.After hanging for half a day, some people even lose control of urine——when they were about to drink water, Zeng Juan appeared in the office crying.

"Brother Yu! You have to decide for me!"

When he came in and called, everyone in the room looked at him.Li Ziyu was taken aback even more, and then looked at Zeng Juan's appearance: his hair was in a mess, his face was covered with scratches, some of which were bleeding.The clothes were covered with mud, and a hole was torn open.

Li Ziyu hurried over and said, "What's the matter with you, Zeng Juan?" !Got into a fight with someone?Say something slowly. As he spoke, he shook his head at Agui, "Bring a pen and paper, and take notes!" "

"Ming girl!...Ming girl...Ming girl is gone! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
