Chapter 309: Go up the mountain to check the post
At the moment when Jiang Helianzi and Zhao Sanniang were talking, serious business was closed, and the Liu family in Wazi Lane had just started a day's business. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is said that although Xiao Yunshang has been married and hooked up with her father-in-law, she is from a good family after all, and she can't do business in the kiln for a while. What's more, not long after she had a miscarriage, her body has not yet recovered, and she really can't stand all kinds of messes in the kiln.
In the first two days of coming to Liu's house, she also put on the face of a chaste martyr. At that time, she couldn't even speak, but she kept screaming and whining, and would rather die than take customers.
The Liu family was afraid of hurting her good skin, even though she was annoyed by the ghosts and wolves all day long, she never beat her, and starved her for two days as a punishment.
As a result, before the third day, she couldn't stand it anymore, and for a bite of food, she began to obediently start a leather and meat business.
Liu's place is not big, it is a courtyard that enters, the Liu family lives in the main house, and the girls raised by his family live in the inverted seat room opposite the main house, and the east and west wings on both sides are used to pick up guests.
Don't look at the east and west wings are used for business, and the Liu family didn't put any thought into it, it was very simple, except for a kang and a set of tables and chairs, there was nothing else.
The head of the Liu family, Aunt Liu, is a widow, and she has two sons, each in charge of a wing.
On weekdays, Aunt Liu's son would sit at the table in the wing, and the guests would climb onto his kang as long as he gave him thirty yuan.
Now the Liu family has a total of four girls, with different looks and figures, but they have a common characteristic, that is, refreshing. After all, the girl in his family lies on the kang all night, and she doesn't need any clothes, so she is naturally very refreshing.
Xiao Yunshang has a good appearance, and has a snow skin like mutton fat jade. Even though she couldn't speak, as long as she lay down on the kang, she could immediately attract countless eyes. On the first day, she ushered in a full house, and it was not until the second day that she finished greeting the last benefactor, and she earned a total of one or two silver for the Liu family that day.
Even if Xiao Yunshang is a disturbing and pure mute, for the sake of her being a cash cow, Aunt Liu is also very tolerant of her, and even her grandmother Li is not too harsh.
In this way, Xiao Yunshang and Li's mute ancestors and grandsons can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Liu family.
The Li family is scheming, and they feel that now their ancestors and grandchildren are lambs to be slaughtered, and maybe someone will be killed one day, so they still have to find a safe backer.
Most of the benefactors who patronize the Liu family are mud legs, and the slightly stronger ones are small traders, and they are not rich and powerful masters. Li naturally didn't look down on them, and she set her sights on Aunt Liu's second son, Liu Dabiao.
Liu Dabiao has grown a body of tendon meat, and he looks much more shrewd and capable than his obese brother Liu Dalong. But in fact, he is a simple person, and he is much easier to fool than his brother. In addition, Xiao Yunshang was assigned to Liu Dabiao by Aunt Liu, of course the Li family wanted Xiao Yunsheng to do everything possible to win over this Liu Dabiao, who is now in charge.
Seeing Liu Dabiao watching other people's affairs every day, he has long been numb to this matter, but almost all the girls he has seen are rough village women, where can they compare to Xiao Yunsheng, who has been pampered since childhood and has mastered a lot of skinny horse skills? However, in two or three days, Xiao Yunshang moved from the upside-down room to the upper room, and ate and lived with Liu Dabiao.
Later, Liu Dabiao felt sorry for Xiao Yunsheng's weak body and it was not easy to do business, so he only let her pick up customers in the first half of the night, and let her go back to the upper room to rest in the second half of the night.
Liu Dabiao felt sorry for his woman, that was his business, and his brother was too lazy to care. But if it affects the family's income, his brother will not be happy. After all, the two brothers have not separated yet, and the family's income is less, and the share that goes to him is also less.
Originally, according to Liu Dabiao's original temperament, he never dared to confront his brother, but he couldn't stand Xiao Yunsheng's pillow wind blowing badly, so he began to grow bold, and gradually dared to argue with his brother.
It can be said that since the arrival of Xiao Yunshang's ancestors and grandchildren, the brothers who were originally quite harmonious began to separate, and the Liu family gradually became uneasy.
In the blink of an eye, summer is over.
Without the annoying summer heat, Zhao Sanniang's mood was also a lot brighter.
On this day, Zhao Sanniang went home from running errands in the north of the city, and halfway by car, she suddenly thought of something, so she asked the coachman to turn the car to the east of the city.
After leaving the east gate of Fucheng, a hundred miles to the east is the endless sea, where there used to be a bustling harbor wharf, but since the ban on the sea four years ago, it has no longer been prosperous, and even the entire east gate is a depression.
At the beginning, Zhao Siniang only spent a small price to purchase a large piece of land outside the east gate. The land has changed dramatically, and the one closest to the east gate is particularly striking.
Long two-slip houses were built there, each consisting of a set of houses. Each house is boxy, with a two-storey building in front of it, with a total of three rooms on each floor, which is used as a façade for shops; In the middle is the courtyard, in which a well is dug; The small building at the back and at the front is of the same structure, which is used for living. These houses are made of blue bricks and red tiles, and the front and back of the houses are paved with flat bluestone slabs. Although there are no tenants living in it so far, it is definitely a rare and good house.
But today, Zhao Sanniang didn't come to see the industry outside Dongcheng, she asked the coachman to continue to drive the car forward, all the way to the bottom of Dongshan.
The East Mountain is not very high, but the mountain range stretches for dozens of miles, and the easternmost end of the mountain is the vast ocean.
The famous Taoshan Academy in Youzhou is located on the East Mountain. It's just that although Taoshan Academy is famous, the road leading to the academy from the foot of the mountain is only a stone path, and if you want to go to the academy, you must climb the stairs.
Zhao Sanniang also fought hard in order to check the post of Zhao Sanlang's brothers. I saw her stepping on embroidered shoes and climbing up the stone steps step by step.
Fortunately, Taoshan Academy was not built on the main peak of Dongshan, and the terrain was not very high, so Zhao Sanniang climbed for less than half an hour and arrived at the gate of the academy.
Zhao Sanniang was originally worried that she was a woman, and the academy would not stop her from entering. But as soon as she walked to the gate, the old man who was guarding the door came over, and after asking about the situation, he led her into the tea room of the academy.
The tea room is full of fragrance, and it is quiet and distant. However, before Zhao Sanniang could enjoy this tranquility, she was disturbed by the news from Lao Suo.
At this hour, the Zhao Sanlang brothers are not in the academy! Moreover, this is not the first time, the brothers have long regarded skipping classes as commonplace!
