Chapter 301: Another Old Man
Even in the civilized city of Rongzhou, there are very few women who work on the streets, and at most married women do some business on the streets. Teahouses, inns and other places are even more customary to hire only men as partners. Lu Tiangui naturally knew about this custom, so he deliberately concealed the fact that she was a woman when he introduced Ye Xiaoyu.
At this point, Ye Xiaoyu is really a little grateful to Lu Tiangui. I actually have no friendship with him, but I have something to do with Liu Meier's oolong family affair. But when he met in another country, especially when Ye Xiaoyu was helpless, he was able to help her like this, Lu Tiangui was really a good person.
Ye Xiaoyu wanted to repeat the same old tune again, if he didn't like men, Liu Meier should be very happy to marry him.
"Xiaoyu, you can go back and rest today, and you can start work tomorrow."
Handing Ye Xiaoyu a set of clothes for running the hall, Lu Tiangui said with a smile.
"Thank you, if I hadn't met you, I guess I'm still wandering the streets now......"
Taking the clothes, Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said sincerely.
"What's this, it's all fellow countrymen, don't be so polite."
Lu Tiangui touched his nose embarrassedly, at that time, he was very grateful that Ye Xiaoyu did not take it to the village to publicize it everywhere, although he and Liu Meier could not become a husband and wife, but he did not feel sad at all, but should thank Ye Xiaoyu, if it wasn't for her reminder, he married Liu Meier like this, and now I don't know how painful it will be.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, and I'll treat you to dinner when I get paid."
Seeing Lu Tiangui say this, Ye Xiaoyu was no longer polite to him.
Found a job. There is no need to sit and eat empty, Ye Xiaoyu swept away the haze just now, and the whole person instantly became energetic. It was still early, and it was boring to return to the rented place, and after saying goodbye to Lu Tiangui, Ye Xiaoyu led the horse to wander around the streets of Rongzhou.
In fact, she would love to ask about Lu Tiangui, but this is not the urgent thing to do today. Anyway, she will get along with Lu Tiangui for a long time in the future, and there will be a lot of opportunities for her to inquire.
The location of Rongzhou is southern, and it is located by the sea, and the weather in May. The people on the street have all changed into thin shirts. Some of them are afraid of the heat and even wear short coats. But Ye Xiaoyu was still wearing cotton clothes, although it was a single layer, but in comparison, it instantly made her feel hot. And the longer you walk on the street. The heat is getting stronger.
There was a tailor's shop right in front of it. Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but plunge into it and made two sets of single shirts and one set of short shirts. It is said to be done, but in fact, it is just a measurement. There is no place to buy clothes that have already been made, they are cut and made, and the day of picking up the clothes will definitely be postponed to five days later.
Fortunately, the teahouse has already sent her a set of guys' clothes, and she can wear this to start work tomorrow, and she doesn't need to worry about her cotton clothes anymore.
By the time I got back to the North House, it was already a little dark.
After feeding the horses, Ye Xiaoyu ate some leftover buns from noon, and wrapped them in the quilt to prepare for sleep.
Lying on the bed in the bedroom, she often has a trance, feeling that time is still stuck in the last time when she came to Rongzhou with Qinglang. Same yard, same room. Qinglang's bedroom is separated from Ye Xiaoyu by a hall, as if Ye Xiaoyu pushed open the wooden lattice window and poked his head out, he could see Qinglang's figure groping in his own room. Sometimes she would even sit up in the middle of the night and subconsciously look into the yard, thinking in a daze that Qing Qing had not yet come back to the dock to move goods. When I wake up in the morning, I always have the illusion that Sunny is squatting in the yard to feed the horses. In the end, there was nothing, just Ye Xiaoyu guarding this overly spacious house alone.
After living for a few days, Ye Xiaoyu began to regret infinitely that he had rented a house he had lived in before, but the rent had been paid for a year, and now he would definitely be deducted most of the money if he checked out.
It's just that you won't get used to it at first, but after a while it will get better.
"Xiaoyu, you came so early today?"
Lu Tiangui, who got up early to start work, was startled when he saw Ye Xiaoyu leaning against the outer wall of the teahouse.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"It's okay, just wait a while."
Ye Xiaoyu stood up straight and smiled.
"I forgot to ask you about the start time yesterday, so I was afraid that it would be too late, so I came early."
She wouldn't say that she had insomnia all night last night, waiting for dawn with her eyes open.
The work of the teahouse is very simple, but the requirements for running up and down to serve tea and water are still very great. However, this is much better than moving goods at the dock, and Ye Xiaoyu can afford it.
The work is not difficult, but the salary is not much.
A guy like Ye Xiaoyu, who has just been hired, only earns more than one tael per month, and after three months, if he is good, he will increase his salary to two taels. Such a small salary is not enough to rent a house in the North District, but fortunately, Ye Xiaoyu does not plan to work here for a long time, it is just a transitional period, so he will do it.
"Little Er, add water here."
Ye Xiaoyu had just come down from the upstairs after delivering snacks, and there was such a voice in the lobby again.
The teahouse is very big and there are many guests, but there are only 3 guys plus Ye Xiaoyu, and everyone is tired like a dog every day.
ââŚâŚ Do you know that princess? It's the one who just recruited a poor boy from the countryside as a colt, when I was in Yuejing, she had visited me at my house a few times, when Ling Wan was worried about her marriage, and asked my opinion, I directly told her that if she really likes it, then she should go to her own heart, but I didn't expect that she really ......"
Ye Xiaoyu walked to the side with a teapot, but heard such a voice coming from the elegant seat where she was asked to add water.
Because of the familiar name, she couldn't help but stand outside for a while.
"Princess? Do you know the princess? â
A crisp female voice asked in surprise.
"Don't just know each other, we can be regarded as childhood sweethearts."
The male voice that had been talking just now sounded again.
"Brother Ling, this time Rongzhou is ......"
Another male voice asked.
"My father sent me to take care of some of the business here. Our family's money bank has recently launched a new thing, one tael of silver is deposited in the zĂ i money bank for a month, and two taels can be returned. However, this is now a trial trial, so it is only for acquaintances we know well......"
Hearing the word "Ling", Ye Xiaoyu suddenly missed a beat in his heart, that person's voice didn't look like Ling Yu, but his surname was Ling, and he was dealing with business matters, wouldn't he be a member of the Ling family?
Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt that she should go to the Qiongzhou Peninsula to beg for a living, she had only been in Rongzhou for less than 20 days this time, and all the acquaintances she met.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
The elegant seat began to urge.
"Come, come, guest officer, your water ......"
Afraid of meeting acquaintances, when she went in, Ye Xiaoyu buried her head very low.
But those people didn't notice her, and such worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
"Something so good?"
"It's all said that this is not external, but our own people can participate. With such a high rate of return, if ordinary people are allowed to send their money to us, what else will this business make to make? â
Taking advantage of the gap in adding water, Ye Xiaoyu secretly glanced at the people in the seat.
There were five people seated, two young women and three men, two of whom were younger and the other a little older.
After quietly looking around, and finding that no one was known to him, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly relieved himself.
"Young Master Ling, you can't forget your brothers with such a good thing......"
The older man said with a smile.
"Brother Zou, you can rest assured, since I have taken it out and told you, I will not miss you."
That Ling Gongzi smiled generously.
"I know that Brother Ling, you are the most righteous."
Another young man also began to flatter.
"That is, I, Ling Yu, have always been reliable in doing things, and I am also a knife in my brother...... Huh? What's going on with you? How do you add water to the tabletop?!! â
The man who called himself "Ling Yu" was about to talk again, but saw that the table was full of tea.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'll wipe the table clean for you."
Ye Xiaoyu reacted quickly, took off the cotton cloth on her shoulder, and began to wipe the table hard.
The two words "Ling Yu" just now really hit her, so that she didn't grasp the strength well, her hand shook, and the water was too full.
"Do you know who this is? Do things so carelessly? This is Young Master Ling Yuling, the son of Ling Dafu, the richest man in Yuejing City, you'd better open my eyes and do things smartly. â
The man surnamed Zou rebuked loudly.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I beg you to spare your life, I really didn't mean it just now. â
Ye Xiaoyu's whole face was tangled, and she was about to cry.
"It's just a runaway, don't be like him."
One of the women laughed.
"Forget it, the table is wiped clean anyway."
"Ling Yu" also spoke.
"Don't get out of here."
The man surnamed Zou yelled at Ye Xiaoyu again.
"I didn't expect Rongzhou City to be known as the largest city in the south, but the service level of the teahouse is so poor, and it is not comparable to Yuejing at all. Every teahouse in Yuejing City, even the tea stalls on the side of the road, the little two there are several times better than here. If you pour water all over the table like this, if you change it to Yuejing, you will be fired by the shopkeeper on the spot......"
Ye Xiaoyu withdrew, and there was still a high-minded talk about "Ling Yu" in the seat.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes, if it was sunny, she would have poured the pot of water directly on the impostor's head. It's just that now he has just gained a foothold here, and he is helpless, Ye Xiaoyu doesn't want to cause more trouble.
As soon as such an idea popped up, Ye Xiaoyu was shocked again, how could she have a sunny name in her mind? (To be continued......)
