Chapter 174 Volume
Xie Jie learned of Hongxiu's purpose, and quickly took the painting on the desk for her, and asked: "Did your girl go to the lotus banquet in Xiao's residence today?"

"Yes." Hongxiu said softly.

Xie Jie gave a "hmm" and said, "It's okay, you can go back."

Hongxiu returned to Yun Mansion, and while giving the painting to Yun Zhuo, she also recounted the conversation between Xie Jie and her: "Girl, tell me, what does Master Xie mean?"

She felt that people like Xie Jie would definitely not be like ordinary people, who would have their own considerations in every word and deed, and it was by no means just asking.

Yun Zhuo didn't think too much about it: "It's just a greeting between acquaintances."

She asked Hongxiu again: "How about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

Hongxiu said: "The yard has already been negotiated. It is a farm on the outskirts of the city. The owner's family is planning to move south with their family these days. Because they are eager to sell, they have lowered the price. There are still a few farms around, all of whom are women, children, old and disabled. , and the strong and strong men joined the army. We have also negotiated with the tooth shop, you can go and have a look tomorrow. As for the brothels, there are only a few popular ones, which are very famous in Beijing, and the slaves are still with those few negotiating."

"Okay," Yun Zhuo nodded, but was stunned for a while when she touched the black eyes of the maidservant in front of her. It's really embarrassing for her to do this.But she still did the things she ordered in an orderly manner, Yun Zhuo softened her tone, "If they bite too hard, let me come forward. Don't tire yourself too much."

Hong Xiu shook her head, her eyes brightened: "Your servant is not tired."

This is what she has in mind.She has been walking around for the past few days, seeing many novel things and meeting various people. She feels very fulfilled.

This fulfillment filled her heart, and she was willing to do these things for the girl.

Yun Zhuo looked at her softly: "Okay."

The next day, Yunzhuo and Hongxiu went to the tooth shop.Because Hongxiu had already told the people in the tooth shop, the ones brought out by the toothmaid today were all carefully selected, and the appearances of the clever and clever boys and girls were also remarkable.

These teenagers and girls may have been told by the matchmaker before, so when they saw the plainly dressed but beautiful girl at this time, they all saluted and called out: "The villain has seen the nobleman."

"You all raise your heads and let the nobleman take a look." The matchmaker greeted from the side again, "Do you want some refreshments, nobleman?"

She has been in this business for at least 20 years, and she has met many people, so she naturally has a pair of piercing eyes. Although the little girl in front of her didn't say anything, she had a kind of magnificence around her, and with such a look, she It can be concluded that this must be a big man.It's just that I don't know which high-ranking noble lady Jiao came from.

Yun Zhuo waved his hand, and walked around among the boys and girls squatting in the hall, carefully studying the expressions on everyone's faces and the emotions in their eyes.

She knew that some of them might have suffered disasters at home, so they were living here.Even if such a person fell into the ditch and mud, he would still carry a pretentious arrogance on his body.

But if there were means, this scene would not have happened.Such a person is absolutely useless.

She looked carefully for a long time, and finally ordered ten men and ten women to come out.

Hongxiu then asked the matchmaker how much money it would take to take these people away.

The matchmaker estimated the girl's identity, and carefully raised her index finger and middle finger, making a two-to-one gesture.

"200 taels?" Yun Zhuo asked.

The prostitute thought she thought it was too expensive, so she hurriedly said: "These people have been trained hard by us. Don't think it's expensive, you come out of this door today, and then go out to look for it. No one can give you a cheaper price than me." gone."

"Give it to her." Yun Zhuo turned his head and said to Hongxiu.

Hongxiu wanted to bargain again, but Yun Zhuo said so readily, and she could only pay out of pocket.

After the matchmaker counted the money, she readily sent Yun Zhuo and his party out.

Hong Xiu took Yun Zhuo to the farm outside the city, and ten men and ten women got off the carriage one by one, and followed Yun Zhuo into the village.

Yun Zhuo first asked what their names were.

The calmest one among them said: "I also ask the girl to give her a name."

Yunzhuo was greedy for cheap, so he assigned names to them in turn according to the 24 solar terms, skipping Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, Lidong.

Everyone saluted again and thanked her for giving her name.

Yun Zhuo said: "I'm from the Southland. This time, I'm accompanying my father and brother of the businessman to Kyoto to see the world. We will stay in Kyoto for about half a year, or even less. In the mansion, there is no other rented house, so you can't accompany me during this time, but when we return to the Southland, we will take you with us. I will go to invite you a teacher this afternoon , you just learn from him. As for the monthly rules, I will give you ten taels of silver a month. That’s all I want to say, do you have any other questions?”

The crowd shook their heads.

Yun Zhuo then said again: "Well, you should clean up here first. From tomorrow, every three days, there will be vegetable vendors coming to your door to deliver vegetables. Today you go to the nearby farms to buy some vegetables. Well, how?"

"The villain would like to follow the girl's teaching." Again they all answered in unison.

Seeing that they were still obedient, Yun Zhuo turned around and took the red sleeves into the carriage and went to Qiongzhi Street.

She decided to take Mr. Shanzhou to the outskirts of the city.

After Zhou Zhengkun heard what Yun Zhuo meant, he pondered for a long time, and said, "I understand what you mean, just wait for me for a while, and I'll go and pack my luggage."

Yun Zhuo was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to live alone in this alley, and he was afraid that he would refuse if he said it directly, so he wanted to ask him to leave in the name of training his servants.

Yun Zhuo sat under the locust tree, and said to Hongxiu: "This is Mr. Zhou. He was known as Qianlong in his early years, and now he is helping me in the capital. You must respect him when you see him."

Hong Xiu nodded and said to her again: "Girl, Mr. Zhou is here."

Yun Zhuo looked up and found that sure enough, she stood up to greet her: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhengkun said: "Our three-month appointment is coming soon. This is the volume I have compiled these days. You can take a look at it at this time. If there are any omissions, you can tell me."

Yun Zhuo took the heavy volume in his hand and thanked him very pleasantly, but Zhou Zhengkun waved his hand indifferently and went back to pack his luggage.

She sat down again, opened the volume, and saw that it was written in correct script on the various forces distributed in the capital, as well as the internal situation of the various families, which were detailed and complete.

After closing the volume, she sighed: "With this volume, Mr. has helped me a lot."
