Chapter 52 Pick and choose
Because of her kung fu, and because of her recent storytelling, she has attracted many new and old customers, and if there are too many people, accidents are easy to happen. Shopkeeper Song simply asked Pihou to work as a guard in Fulai Building. The monthly payment is the same as that of the second child. Two silver coins a month.

The wages at Fulai Building are among the top in the imperial capital. It is not easy to make a living, but it is even more rare to be able to work in Fulai Building. Pihou also cherishes it very much.

As for Chen Yuanyuan gradually becoming famous, many people came to listen to the book admiringly.

The restaurant is almost turning into a tea house, with tea and side dishes coming in one after another, and the waiter is even more busy, Shopkeeper Song is also grinning from ear to ear.

Although Chen's father is busy, he is happy in his heart. Although the daughter is still often out of tune, she is definitely a capable girl!
During this period, many restaurants saw that the Fulai Building was full of customers every day, and even attracted many customers to go there.

Although the price offered by the other party was not low, but he had signed a contract with Shopkeeper Song beforehand, so Chen Yuanyuan would naturally abide by the contract.

Now she puts on makeup in the morning, tells a book in the afternoon, and develops skin care products and cosmetics in the evening. The schedule of the day is well organized.

It has never been so fulfilling and meaningful, and my heart is also happy.

Girls from Yunmeng Pavilion would come to her for makeup almost every day, most of the rest were daughters of small families, and there were many regular customers.

As for the noble daughter of a big family, there is no one so far.

Of course, among the guests who came here, many people looked down on her. In the eyes of many people, putting on makeup and makeup is the business of servants.

Facing such customers, Chen Yuanyuan basically finds excuses not to wear makeup.

Since you look down on her, why come to her shop!
After a few days, she had calculated the money in general.

Storytelling and makeup are about one or two taels of silver a day, and at least 40 taels a month, plus 30 taels of wages, and 70 taels a month.

A few days later, late October.

The crown prince presided over the case of Mr. Liu's poisoning, which involved many bureaucratic factions secretly colluding with each other.

Of course the crown prince will not let the corrupt officials go, after careful investigation, the case has been reported to the emperor, the emperor Longyan on the sickbed was furious, and ordered the crown prince to investigate the matter strictly!

There was another big raid in Beijing!

Until November, when the winter snows heavily.

The prince personally led people to find out that the man behind the corrupt officials was the Fifth Prince!
The biggest source of money for the Fifth Prince is the Luo family. When the Luo family collapsed, the source of money was cut off, and the bureaucrats were set off one after another.The fifth prince suddenly lost his left and right arms, and was smashed and killed in the cradle before he raised his troops to rebel.

The five princes took bribes, formed factions for private interests, and recruited troops to buy horses in order to seek power and usurp the throne.

The two factions are fighting, just as the relationship between the fifth prince and the Luo family is a relationship between the rabbit and the fox, so the relationship between the imperial merchants and the royal family is also the same.

These days, the Huangfu family has been assisting the prince with all their heart and soul, and they dare not have half-hearted intentions!

In order to investigate the case, Huangfu Shaohua set up all the major shops as official and business affairs, and even ran around with the prince, even if he didn't like it, he didn't dare to make fun of the family.

After the matter of the Fifth Prince was settled, he finally had some free time.

In his free time, Fang remembered that someone still owed him 99 scripts, so he changed into casual clothes and went out with the old housekeeper.

In the afternoon, the carriage leisurely came to the gate of Fulai Building.

After a period of heavy mood, he just stepped into the threshold of Fulai Building, and suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently.

Huangfu Shaohua couldn't help but looked towards the high platform, he saw the girl on the platform was resting, and a man was standing beside him, they seemed to be very intimate.

He couldn't help frowning, and slowly stepped forward.

At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan was fighting with the monkey.

She couldn't help teasing the other party: "Are you a funny guy sent by a monkey?"

Although I don't know what Doubi is, it doesn't affect Pihou's understanding of this sentence at all. This stinky girl must be scolding him, so Pihou rubbed her head with one hand unceremoniously.

Although his strength was not great, the latter still grinned in pain, wanting to jump up and fight him.

The two were arguing with hands and feet, but they were startled by the oncoming cold air, and they all turned their heads away in an instant.

Seeing Huangfu Shaohua with a cold face, Chen Yuanyuan froze in place: "Eldest young master, why do you have the leisure to come to the restaurant for afternoon tea today?"

"I didn't see someone keeping the contract, so I came to collect the debt."

After saying that, Pihou looked at Chen Yuanyuan in surprise, "You owe this ice face money?"

Chen Yuanyuan waved her hand and said to Pihou, "Don't worry about this matter, but don't tell my parents."

After speaking, he dragged Huangfu Shaohua away.

Suddenly being pulled away by the arm, no one has the courage since childhood, looking at the small and delicate figure in front of him, a strange emotion suddenly arises in his heart.

Even when the guards beside him stepped forward to stop him, they were shocked and retreated hurriedly after being caught in his eyes.

After being dragged upstairs to the private room, Chen Yuanyuan gave up and put her on the seat.

"What script does the young master want to hear today?"

"up to you."

"In case you don't like it, let's talk about it in advance, so as not to waste the other party's time." After speaking, Chen Yuanyuan felt that something was wrong again, and continued: "I mean, the young master is busy with many things, he must be very busy."

Obviously, the explanation behind is a bit redundant, Huangfu Shaohua was extremely unhappy seeing himself being despised by others.

How many daughters of famous families paid homage to the post but he didn't see it, yet she actually despised it?
Do you want to see the kid downstairs?
He sneered in his heart: This afternoon is impossible!

"As long as you don't fall into the cliché, it's fine, but don't talk about the hypocrisy of Huapi last time."

Chen Yuanyuan's face was wrinkled into a ball. This kind of request was obviously to embarrass her. There were so many types of stories, interesting and satisfying, she really had to think about it.

She had no choice but to tell the most profound story in her impression.

"Once upon a time, there was a handsome little monk who saved a little fox that had become a spirit..."

"I don't want to hear about love today."

"...Once upon a time there was a fairy cat, it had a small universal bag, and it contained everything..."

"I don't want to listen to gods today."

"It is said that in ancient times there was an overlord who was powerful enough to lift mountains and surpass the world..."

"I don't want to hear about heroes today."

Chen Yuanyuan clenched her small fists, her small face turned into a pig's liver color in an instant, and she beat Huangfu Shaohua hard back and forth in her heart - forbearance, forbearance, she can't bear it!
Seeing her appearance, Huangfu Shaohua couldn't help laughing, and seeing her forced a smile.

"Master, what exactly do you want to hear?"

"Is this young master very old?"

"...You are young and promising, why not tell you a story about the sacred tree."

Huangfu Shaohua raised his eyebrows and nodded in disbelief.

Chen Yuanyuan could only take a deep breath, and slowly said: "Once upon a time, a person got a seed of a sacred tree. He heard that the fruit of this tree can fulfill a wish of a mortal."
