The ugly princess

Chapter 129
Several big men looked for their reputation, only to see a small and unattractive little girl walking from the side.

"Damn girl, what are you meddling with, get out of here for me."

The big man in yellow took a few glances at the skinny Gu Qingyu, such a skinny brat dared to come out and obstruct his eyes, it was just courting death.

"Brother, you just said that their mother and daughter are not worth 50 taels of silver together with this broken yard, so what if I buy them and the yard with 50 taels of silver now?"

Gu Qingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the man in yellow, her eyes were very firm, without any fear.

"Hmph, with your poor appearance, you can still get 50 taels of silver? If you say such a thing, you are not afraid of being laughed out of your teeth. If you don't want to be fisted by me, you can get out quickly."

The big man in yellow pointed at Gu Qingyu, his eyebrows were raised and his face was gloomy, his eyes gleamed fiercely.

"Master, just trust me once, okay? You give me a quarter of an hour, and I'll go home to get the silver. We'll meet at the teahouse opposite later. How about asking someone to hand over the money?"

Gu Qingyu has 50 taels of silver notes on her body, she would not dare to bring such a large amount of money to trade with a group of vicious big men in this alley, if they grab the money later, they will lose their wife and lose their soldiers .

Hearing the words, the big man in yellow lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, as if he didn't really believe Gu Qingyu's words.

"Brother, these two women, the old and the young, are not easy to sell, and this broken yard is not easy to sell, so we have to wait two quarters of an hour. If this damn girl can get the money, then we will save trouble." Huang Yi The younger brother next to the big man persuaded.

After hearing what the younger brother said, the big man in yellow felt that it made sense, so he reluctantly agreed to Gu Qingyu's request.

"Okay, brat, we'll wait for you for a quarter of an hour."

Afterwards, Gu Qingyu went for a walk outside, pretending to go home to get money, and after a quarter of an hour, went to the opposite teahouse to trade with the big man in yellow, and finally bought the yard of the woman's house, as well as them, for 50 taels of silver. mother and daughter.

Come here for a quarter of an hour, at the woman's house.

This woman's house is not small. I heard that they used to sell steamed stuffed buns. They made some money in the early years, so they bought the two yards.

The courtyard was not considered old at first, but in recent years, the woman's house has been down and some places have been damaged, and there is no money to repair it, so it looks a bit dilapidated.

There is a big yard in the front yard of the house, and the kitchen is quite big. This is exactly the house Gu Qingyu wanted.

She will definitely buy those green olives in Mrs. Gu's hands. Such a large batch of green olives cannot be made into olive dishes.

She was going to turn the batch of green olives into licorice olives, but now her family couldn't get enough hands to make anything other than olive greens.

Most people in the village have a very bad attitude towards their family, and there are not many people who can use it with confidence, and the olive vegetable business has already made many people in the village jealous, so she doesn't want to have so much trouble.

So she planned to find a secret base and cook some of the food outside.

"What's your name?" Gu Qingyu sat on a stool and asked the woman, mother and daughter standing in front of her.

"In the case of Miss Hui, the woman's name is Zhang Xiumei, and the daughter's name is Liu Qiuyue." The woman replied very respectfully.

"Aunt Xiumei, although I have your contract of prostitution in hand.

But if you don't want to follow me, I can return the deed of sale to you. You just need to leave me an IOU and promise to repay me ten taels of silver within five years, and you can leave now. "

Gu Qingyu doesn't like to force others, if these two don't accept her, staying will only add to the trouble.

"No, no, Miss, we're not leaving, we're willing to stay by Miss's side and act like cows and horses." Aunt Xiumei hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands.

If they went out of this door, their mother and daughter would not even have a place to stay, not to mention three meals a day, maybe they would meet hooligans or something?

It's hard to say whether they can live or not, let alone earn ten taels of silver to pay off their debts. Now they just want to live in peace and stability, even if they sell themselves as slaves!
"Miss, Qiuyue doesn't want to leave either."

Liu Qiuyue also echoed her mother's words, because that scumbag father often owes gambling debts these years, she has lived through all kinds of hardships, and she is not afraid of the hardships she will suffer if she stays as a maid?

Just now when their mother and daughter were in danger, if the girl in front of her hadn't saved them, they would have been sold into a brothel now, and she was very grateful.

"Since you all don't want to leave, then I can keep you, and you can call me Miss Gu from now on!

You are here with me, as long as you live in peace and do things conscientiously, I will never treat you badly, as long as things are done well, you will be rewarded with silver.

It's just staying, there are rules to stay, I'm in the food business, and I'll let you know some recipes for making things in the future, if you dare to leak the recipes, then I will not forgive you lightly. "

Gu Qingyu's eyes sank, and she said very seriously.

"Yes, yes, Miss Gu." Liu Qiuyue's mother and daughter nodded immediately when they heard that there was still money to be rewarded. For them, as long as they can eat enough and wear warmth, they are already very good.

"From now on, this yard will no longer be Liu's house, and it will be renamed 'Orchard' in the future!"

Gu Qingyu thought of a name casually, now that the yard is under her name, and there is Liu Zhai hanging there, it can't be justified.

Gu Qingyu then went to the market and bought a lot of materials for repairing the yard. She asked Qiuyue and her daughter to repair the dilapidated yard in the next few days. By the way, tidy up the front yard so that it can be used to dry olives. .

After ordering things, Gu Qingyu planned to go to the manor to find out the wind. Before, the old lady Yan said that Zigucao was needed to cure Mo'er, but she didn't know who owned the Zigucao in Xianshilou?

Gu Qingyu was afraid that the Zigucao would be moved, so she had to hurry up and find Zigucao as soon as possible to be at ease.

Gu Qingyu hailed a carriage in the town and drove towards the manor.

"Wow..." The carriage had only run less than half of the way, when someone suddenly stopped in front of the road, the driver was startled, and hastily tightened the reins.

"Where did you come from?" The lunatic, before the coachman could swear the last few words, he saw the person blocking him holding a sharp sword and covered in blood.

For a moment, the coachman was so frightened that his whole body was in a cold sweat, he swallowed back the words he was about to say, not even daring to fart.

"I bought this carriage, get out." Ye Hechen glanced at the coachman with cold eyes, and threw a purse to the coachman.

The coachman reflexively accepted the purse, feeling that there was a full 30 taels of silver in the purse. An ordinary carriage in this era is worth more than a dozen taels of silver at most.

"Okay, okay, the little one will get out immediately." The coachman took the money in surprise and joy, hurriedly kowtowed to Ye Hechen a few times, then got up and got out quickly.
