"I'll go with you."

Lu Tiangui also got up and said.

The junior official didn't answer, but just glanced at Ye Xiaoyu, who was still sitting there.

"Well, time is pressing, you two should go quickly, I won't go because I live in the North District......"

Ye Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly, it was a little late, and she wanted to go back to sleep. And looking at the appearance of the junior official, I don't really want Ye Xiaoyu to follow.

"Then Xiaoyu, be careful on the way back by yourself."

Lu Tiangui said, probably because he was worried about the junior official, he didn't talk much, and went out with him directly.

However, Ye Xiaoyu saw a little smile on the little official's cold face all night.

After checking out at the counter, Ye Xiaoyu walked slowly on the street.

Because it is not very convenient to lead the horse, Ye Xiaoyu tied it to the backyard of the teahouse, and then went back to get it after dinner.

The night market in Rongzhou City is even more lively than during the day, walking on the street, there are constantly pedestrians passing by, and all kinds of jokes and shouts on the small vendors make Ye Xiaoyu have a sense of déjà vu.

Although the price here is very high, it will be better than Yuejing, and the shops on the street, if the location is a little remote, the rent is still relatively affordable.

has been working in the teahouse for three months, although the daily work is not too heavy, and from this month onwards, Ye Xiaoyu can get a salary of 3 taels per month, but she does not plan to continue to work, because this job has no meaning to her at all, and she is a runner in the teahouse. Although the salary is stable, the income is too small, and it is subject to others, and there is no personal freedom at all. Ye Xiaoyu is no longer penniless when he was just reborn, and it is more reliable to do some small business here by himself when he still has some savings.

But what kind of business to do, Ye Xiaoyu hasn't thought about it yet. It is precisely because of this that she did not quit her job in the teahouse for a long time.

It's already June, and even at night, the temperature is still very high. Leading the horse. Pacing slowly. Watching groups of girls in beautiful dresses walk by, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was a few years older.

"Childe, buy a flower, the ...... just picked in the afternoon"

Suddenly, a seven or eight-year-old girl appeared in front of Ye Xiaoyu. Maybe it's because of the lack of age. I haven't left my head yet. Just wearing a little hat indiscriminately.

"This flower ......"

Ye Xiaoyu originally wanted to leave, but when she saw the girl's appearance, she suddenly remembered herself. He stopped and looked at the basket she was carrying.

"It's big and beautiful, I just picked it in the afternoon."

Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu stopped, the girl introduced her more attentively.

It's summer, and there aren't many plants that can bloom, so the girls have lotus flowers in their baskets.

One by one, it's very beautiful.

"How do you sell this?"

Ye Xiaoyu looked at her and asked.

"It's cheap. Childe, you can buy it and give it to the girl you like. ”

The little girl's mouth is quite sweet.

"I've got it all, but—"

Ye Xiaoyu paused.

"What's wrong? Childe thinks it's too expensive, I can sell it cheaply. ”

As soon as she heard that Ye Xiaoyu wanted to buy them all, the girl was so happy that she almost threw the basket on the ground, but when she saw Ye Xiaoyu hesitating, she looked nervous, for fear that this business would not be done.

"You see I'm riding a horse, and there's nowhere to put this flower, and when I get home, I guess all the petals have fallen off."

Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"That's—"

The little girl also fell into hesitation.

"Otherwise, you can sell me this basket as well......"

Sold a pass, Ye Xiaoyu continued.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the girl looked up in surprise.

"Can you sell it?"

It's just a small basket woven of bamboo and rattan, and Ye Xiaoyu actually didn't have much use after buying it, but now these flowers need to be stuffed.

"Yes. However, the price is more expensive. ”

The girl thought about it for a moment and said.

"I want 10 Wen."

It's really expensive, but fortunately, this basket is quite delicate.

"Yes, I bought it. Did you make this basket yourself? ”

Ye Xiaoyu had an idea in her heart, so she asked more.

"My mother made it up."

The little girl answered truthfully.

"Does your mother knit anything else?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked again.

"As long as there are bamboo and rattans, my mother will also weave many other things, such as boats and lanterns for making wishes."

The little girl said proudly.

"Little sister, are you all selling flowers here?"

When this sentence came out, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she had a vague characteristic of a strange uncle. Originally, she wanted to ask where her family lived, but she was afraid of scaring the children, so she picked a tactful question.

"Hmm. My family lives on the other side of Huanyi Lane. ”

The little girl replied innocently.

Ye Xiaoyu was very satisfied with this answer.

Because she had a vague idea in her mind about what business she should do. However, everything is difficult at the beginning, there is a distance of 108,000 miles between the idea and the finished product, Ye Xiaoyu wants to plan well and do it again, it is right that she has money now, but this money is still dead money, and she needs to be careful with a little bit, especially if she is careful in her calculations.

Even in summer, there are still very few pedestrians on the road leading to the North District, but fortunately Ye Xiaoyu has a horse, otherwise it is really a bit dangerous for a person to walk such a long night road every day. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu once again felt that her brain was in water that day, there was no house to rent in Huanyi Lane, so she could rent some other cheaper places in the city, at least find a room closer to the North District, and living in the North District was simply asking for trouble.

The reason why she rented the place where she used to live in the North District, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was faintly looking forward to something, but now that three months have passed, what should be expected and what should not be expected has not happened, but she still has to live here, and sometimes Ye Xiaoyu herself doesn't know what she is obsessed with.

The next day.

"Brother Lu, you won't stay up all night last night, will you?"

As soon as Ye Xiaoyu arrived at the teahouse, she saw Lu Tiangui with two heavy dark circles under his eyes, and couldn't help asking.

"I didn't have an all-nighter, but I went to bed late."

Lu Tiangui's voice was a little tired.

"Is it done?"

Compared with Lu Tiangui's dark circles, Ye Xiaoyu is more concerned about this.

"Well, I contacted some people last night, and they plan to report to the police today. I guess it's all on the way now. ”

Lu Tiangui said as he laid out the things on the counter.

was said like this, Ye Xiaoyu realized that she didn't see the figure of the junior official this morning.

As long as they go to report to the official, Ling Yu may be able to redeem his innocence. Although the others are still thousands of miles away, they don't know about it at all. But Ye Xiaoyu always felt that he should do something for him, which could be regarded as thanking him for so much help before.

There are many restaurants and restaurants in Rongzhou City, and most of them are high-end goods that can be put on the table, because there are many, the competition has become very fierce, and many restaurants will also take over some extra money while doing business, such as selling local specialties or acting as middlemen for people who come here to do business from other places. However, because these two businesses are not in conflict, many restaurants have taken care of their operations.

The same is true for Manfu Building.

It is a time-honored restaurant with a relatively long history in Rongzhou City, which used to be a reception banquet for the yamen, but later because of the Holy Order's prohibition of excessive extravagance, it slowly transformed and began to join the army of private restaurants in Rongzhou City.

Private restaurants pay attention to the way of management, although Manfu Lou is very famous, but because it was originally in contact with the government, it is also a one-glance reception business, as long as the things assigned by the government are done well, there is no problem of competition. But the current situation is not as good as before, in order to survive, Manfulou had to give up the previous "big brother" shelf, and those private restaurants together, to attract customers, put out a variety of preferential conditions to attract people to patronize. But even so, business is not booming.

The owner of Manfulou is the cousin of Zou Yu's concubine, and he originally looked down on those who used the source of customers in the restaurant to engage in dental business, but seeing that Manfulou's business was getting worse year by year, he finally began to sit still, and began to learn from other people, taking care of being a middleman.

That "Ling Yu" was connected with it because of the expansion of Manfulou's business, although he claimed to be one of the owners of the restaurant, but in fact he was just a customer of Manfulou. Of course, "Ling Yu" also paid a lot more for this title, but this price was still earned in terms of the benefits that "Ling Yu" obtained as a result.

"Ling Yu's" real name is not Ling Yu, his surname is Gu, his name is Xiaoshu, he is a native of Huzhou, he is a resident of the city, and he also has real estate in Huzhou City, so it seems to sound quite good to say it like this. But their family's so-called "real estate" is just a small courtyard in the alley of Huzhou City, with only three rooms in total. But there are three brothers in the family, plus four members of his uncle's family and his grandfather and grandmother, and the whole family of more than a dozen people is crowded in this small courtyard, and the crowded Cheng dù can be imagined.

When he was in Huzhou, Gu Xiaoshu was also a buddy in a teahouse in the city, and when he was usually idle, he stood there and listened to the storyteller. The storyteller's description of the beautiful scene of gold everywhere in Yuejing took root in his heart, but Yuejing was thousands of miles away from Shanghai, and it was also a big expense, so he could only think about the beauty of Yuejing in his mind.

If this is the case, then there will be no series of things to come.

I don't know when the storyteller of the teahouse brought in real characters when telling stories about strange people in Yuejing, and Ling Dafu, the richest man in Yuejing, is an example that those people like to cite very much. Because he has listened to it many times, Gu Xiaoshu has a clear grasp of the details of the richest man in Yuejing, Ling Dafu, described in the storyteller's mouth.

He began to envy the pampered, spending, and random life of wealthy families, especially when he came home from work every day and saw the scene of his home crowded like pickled dried radish, such thoughts became even more violent. (To be continued......)
