Chapter 166: Falling in the Same Pit
Ruan Jingxin left the Yichuan Marquis Mansion, but Ruan Jinghe said that she would talk to Ruan Jinghua about some private topics.
The so-called private topic, I'm afraid it is a little experience and perception of a married woman, right? Ruan Jingxin smiled and shook her head. She's lived so many times, what's not to understand? Their methods and scheming are a bit pediatric.
"Miss, shall we go home?" asked Cuiluo.
"There is plenty of time today, don't be in a hurry to go back, let's go around in a circle and see how the one-foot shop is running now?" Ruan Jingxin was in a rare good mood, "Is it going well over there in Jinxiufang?"
"Miss, don't worry, there is Master Liu sitting there!" Cuiluo's eyes lit up, "I heard that the master is working on embroidering a screen, do we want to take a look?"
"That's just the beginning, and I can't really see anything now. Ruan Jingxin looked at Cuiluo with a smile, "That's going to be sent to the palace." β
Cui Luo nodded, "What kind of shop is there in front of Miss." β
Ruan Jingxin didn't get out of the car, but just lifted the curtain and looked out. Because it is winter, there are no good insulation tools in this era, so drinks and milk tea are sold in general. But it's almost the end of the year, and the snacks and snacks are booming. Except for people with average family backgrounds who buy some slightly better dim sum to fill the faΓ§ade, the rest of the time is taking orders from these big families.
The carriage circled around the eastern city, and more than an hour had passed. The coachman asked if he wanted to go to Nancheng.
Ruan Jingxin thought for a while and said, "Go to Beicheng and have a look." β
Everyone knows the pattern of the capital city of Guizhou in the east and rich in the south, and everyone in the north is poor, and no one thought that Ruan Jingxin would want to go to the north city to have a look.
"Miss, I'm afraid it's a little messy over there now!" Uncle Chai also felt inappropriate when he heard this.
"Uncle Chai, let's go to a few main streets, I heard that it will be very lively at this time!"
Uncle Chai felt that the young lady was still young, so he should be fresh, so he didn't say anything more and went directly to Beicheng.
Although the common people are not wealthy enough, they love life more than others. Even the poorest families are full of joy and hope for life when it comes to the New Year.
There are very few horse-drawn carriages on the crowded streets, and even fewer carriages of this kind are so good. Ruan Jingxin only took a general look at the street entrance, and then ordered, "Let's take a detour back, the road just now was a little crowded." β
Uncle Chai was familiar with the terrain of the entire capital, so he turned the horse's head and changed direction.
"What kind of place is this?" Ruan Jingxin suddenly asked.
"Miss, this is the cargo terminal. Uncle Chai introduced, "This side is dedicated to unloading some cheap but large quantities of goods." β
Ruan Jingxin ordered to stop, and then looked out, although in the second half of the lunar month, there were still many people waiting on the dock to pick up some work, standing outside without fear of the cold.
"Cuiluo, when you go back, you will send people to buy a good place at various docks. Ruan Jingxin's eyes flashed slightly as she looked at these people. Those who are able to do these jobs are strong and strong. Their families are poor, and they have no ability to make a living except for brute strength. But their income is not much.
In today's era, there are no Cao Gang, but there are many people like the Jinsha Gang who eat on the water. The forces on the water will be uncontrollable or unifying for a while. These porters are not completely unorganized, and in order to grab business, it is naturally easier for a group to survive than to be alone. However, this kind of organization is combined by intimate relationships such as relatives and neighbors, and does not constitute a considerable force.
Some ruffians are not without trying to take advantage of these people, but these people often have a relatively high force value.
Ruan Jingxin hooked the corners of her lips slightly, these people can get higher returns, and she also needs to control the information of various docks, even the control of critical moments.
"The traffic in the capital is so convenient!" Ruan Jingxin's sudden exclamation made others scratch their heads.
The carriage no longer stopped, and when Ruan Jingxin returned to the mansion, she was shouted by Xiao Shi to the upper room of the main courtyard.
"What's going on?" Ruan Jingxin noticed something was wrong when she entered the courtyard.
Yuya gritted her teeth with hatred that iron could not become steel, "It's Yulu...... She wants to be a concubine for her master. β
Ruan Jingxin's face sank suddenly, this Yulu, she had already explained it to her very clearly, but she had figured out the end of such a stubbornness?
When I entered the door, everyone who should have been there was there. Ruan Jingxin and the three aunts greeted each other and walked behind Xiao. Yulu knelt on the ground in a thin brocade jacket studded with rabbit fur, and when she heard the maids say that Ruan Jingxin was coming, she couldn't help but shudder.
"Oh, the eldest lady came just in time, so isn't there another concubine soon?" Aunt Wang said with a smile.
Without waiting for Ruan Jingxin to pick up, Xiao Shi had already looked at her coldly, "Aunt Wang hasn't understood the rules for so long, in a family like ours, a concubine is a concubine, and she is a slave to the young master and the young lady." β
Aunt Wang's face suddenly turned bad, "That's a cheap concubine!"
"Concubine? That's right. Xiao Shi looked at Yulu and said, "A slave who has signed a deed of life, even if he climbs into the master's bed, it is impossible to become more noble." β
Gyokuro's head was lowered. She held back her tears and clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't dare to say a word. She knows Xiao too well, she is a kind-hearted person, as long as she bows down and is small and wins sympathy, she will definitely pass this hurdle.
Ruan Jingxin didn't know what was going on, his father always suffered from beauty. The key is that he is not a good woman, but he is always calculated in this regard, which is really speechless. Does this count as being in the same pit?
Xiao Shi looked at Yulu, who was trembling slightly, and couldn't help but be even more angry, "You are worthy of me." "Yulu and Yuya are both people who came to me at the age of seven or eight, and they have slowly cultivated themselves, and they are also people worthy of trust and trust. To be betrayed by such a person is to undoubtedly slap yourself in the face.
Yulu finally raised her head, revealing red circles under her eyes and a face full of remorse, "It's all slaves and maids who are confused for a while, please punish Madame!"
"Since we are already the master's person, let's ......" Before Aunt Bai's words were finished, Ruan Jingxin spoke.
Originally, this kind of thing was not her turn to be a daughter, but she didn't want Xiao's kindness to be used on this kind of person.
"Mother, it's just a subordinate, pull it out and sell it. Ruan Jingxin made up her mind to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. During this time, my mother was too tolerant of her subordinates.
