Chapter 1: Useless
There is a way that even the rain does not know the spring, and the summer is deep when it is sunny. In the middle of summer, there is no rain and it is hot.
A small city is surrounded by a river called 'Shame Girl', with green mountains and green waters, like paradise, and is called the city of flowers.
"Scoop up the hair, and pick up the water for the girls' feet?"
"Come on, Lao Mao'er, wash my grandfather's feet too!"
The two horsemen pulled the horses, glanced at the small guy with a wooden bucket of water under the bridge, and couldn't help but joke loudly. These two are the horses of Wang Gongzi's family, and the weather is good today, and the four horses of Wang Gongzi's family are all pulled to the river to wash.
It's strange today, every time I come over, I see Lin Jianqiu loading water. That's right, this 18-year-old boy who was called 'Lin Laomao' by the horse maid has been filling water all day today, and he hasn't stopped for a moment.
Counting this barrel, it is exactly 66 barrels.
Lao Mao'er is a general term for the small guy where he is looking for pleasure, and as soon as this title comes out, everyone knows that he is the most inferior guy. This prince is a noble young master in the city, and there is an old man who is an official in the imperial court at home, and the palace maid is naturally very proud in front of this little girl.
They threw the horse rope into the water, lifted it, and shook off the water that Lin Lao Mao was all over.
"I'm not called Lao Mao'er, my name is Lin Jianqiu!" The young man frowned slightly, muttering softly, there was grievance and anger in his words, and more helplessness.
Indeed, before attending the morning meeting this morning, his name was Lin Jianqiu, a reporter from the most famous magazine in H City, holding a meeting with his colleagues with the manuscript and photos he had just finished interviewing.
People have three urgencies, and today is particularly urgent.
"I shouldn't have come out to pee, just pee, where did the current come from and turned me over?" When he picked up the 20th bucket of water, Lin Jianqiu hadn't figured out this problem, he was obviously walking normally on the way to the bathroom, why did he suddenly feel like he had been beaten by electricity, and crossed over in an instant?
Crossing is crossing, right, do today's teenagers still read less time traveling? What kind of waste materials to cultivate, python clans, emperors and grandchildren, everything. No matter how bad it is, it's okay to be a gentleman! Why is it my turn to cross over and become a little girl?
The little guy is the little guy, turn over and be the master, and the farmer can make a fortune, how did he become a little guy looking for a happy place?
If you don't have fifty gold, you can't redeem yourself. Run away? I heard that there were more people whose legs were broken than the wooden sticks that were burned in winter in the courtyard.
In the memory of the original owner, in addition to carrying water every day, he ran errands, or he was beaten by his mother. The idea of a lifetime is to hope to redeem himself, because if he does not redeem himself, it is impossible to marry a wife, who wants to marry to find pleasure?
It's a pity that he started working at the age of twelve and worked until he was eighteen years old, and only saved 23 copper coins, which is far from a single gold, let alone fifty gold.
I know a few words, not much, that is, the names of the girls in the yard and the words of some daily necessities, but the strength is quite big, and the tendons are very strong. But so what? The lowest type of work, the most humble status, and a future with no end in sight.
"Hey......" Lin Jianqiu cried with a sad face, ignoring the sneers of the two little guys, he finally accepted this reality, and he had to accept this reality.
At this time, it was the 99th bucket of water. From 66 to 99, it's still not easy.
In ancient times, I didn't know what year and month, I asked the grandmother who sold vegetables on the roadside, and she couldn't tell the reason, she said that her ancestors had lived here for generations, and there were always wars in recent years. Ask the little guy in the teahouse, saying that this is the country of the Devil, as for what dynasty, everyone has different opinions, and he is also drunk.
Raccoon Country?
Lin Jianqiu turned his mind upside down, and he didn't remember that there was such a country, but after thinking about it, there may be a small country that has not been recorded for five thousand years. Is this just Huaxia?
Looking at the surrounding races and living habits, it is not far from the ancient inland countries of China.
Forget it, no matter which dynasty it is, he is illiterate, a dignified graduate student, a reporter from a top magazine, the best at shooting and interviews, this art of eating is useless in this ancient world.
Walking on the street with water, the road is paved very quickly, the local economy seems to be developing well, and the shops on both sides of the road are also bustling, with teahouses in the majority.
I turned a corner and smelled a very strong smell of fat powder, and walked all the way over, Yiyun Courtyard, Jinxiu Building, Red Apricot Building, and Flower Manlou One Courtyard after Another. It's still daytime, so the streets are deserted.
Turning another corner, it is the Jinmei Academy where Lin Jianqiu is located.
Compared with the courtyard on the main road just now, the goose warm stone of this road is very sparsely paved, and even the gate is different. The gate of the Red Apricot Building and the Flower Building that I just passed by is full of flowers. And the gate of this golden building is sparsely lit with a few flags, even if it is decorated.
Also, the rent of the main road is expensive, and the owner who can't afford to rent the main road is naturally much poorer, so he doesn't have so much money to decorate.
Carrying the water, but not going through the gate, but pushing the door through the side door, and came to the backyard of the courtyard, where the girls' clothes were dried and some long strips of cloth were dried. The original owner's memory told him that these strips of cloth were the sanitary napkins used by modern women.
"You're pretty capable today, aren't you?"
A rather soft voice came, Lin Jianqiu turned his head to look, and subconsciously his heartbeat accelerated for a few seconds. Unlike this soft voice, it was not a young girl, but a woman in her thirties and forties.
The head of Jin Manyuan, Wang Mazi, was also a well-known top brand more than ten years ago, and he fell in love with a rich son, who exhausted all his private houses and ransomed himself, thinking that he would marry a lover for a lifetime, but he didn't want to meet a negative man, which was bumpy, and she rarely said. It's just that after drinking too much, he will talk leisurely: Men don't have a good thing, and money is the most reliable.
I opened a Jinmanyuan by myself, and it has been open for ten years, and the business has been dying, and I can't hold it anymore. is not doing well, and his natural temper is also poor, in Lin Jianqiu's memory, he has to be beaten almost every week, and every time he is beaten to cry his father and call his mother.
"Hello Mama Wang." Lin Jianqiu hurriedly put down the bucket and bent down to say hello.
"Come to the antechamber. Before we start work today, let's set a new rule. Old Mother Wang's long voice was full of ruthlessness.
Yes, it looks like before today's opening, another girl is going to be beaten.
----------------
"Sparrows." Old Mother Wang's voice was cold and cold.
"Mommy ......" a girl who looked like she had just grown up at most walked out of the back of several big sisters with a cower, she looked very petite and cute, maybe she was not well nourished, and her hair was slightly yellow.
Trembling, she crawled to the table in the hall.
"You don't walk long?! Liu Gongzi is a frequent visitor here, you pour water for him, and you actually pour it on his sleeve! As she spoke, Mrs. Wang raised her hand and thrust it into Liu Que'er's buttocks: "Yesterday Liu Gongzi went to the next courtyard!" It's all your fault! ”
The reason why she said insertion is because she is holding a needle in her hand, and if she stabs it like this, it will be extremely painful and will not have too many scars, let alone scars, and it will not affect the start of work for a while.
"Ahh Liu Qi'er screamed, her legs stretched straight on the table, tears rushed out, and she begged for mercy: "Mom, I was careless, and only a few drops fell on his sleeve, and Liu Gongzi was not angry at that time!" ”
"Yes, this Liu Gongzi is used to eating this, and he wants to taste the girl in the courtyard next door, it's normal, this has nothing to do with our finch, people are still young."
"That's right, and last time I heard Li Gongzi say that the tea in the building is better than ours, and the room is more comfortable, maybe it's for these reasons that Liu Gongzi ......"
There were a total of 28 girls in a circle, and when they saw that the little sister was beaten, you helped to intercede with me.
"Shut up!" Wang Mazi was furious, she stretched out her hand and pulled it from the target on the side of the beam, and ripped off a leather whip: "You one by one!" Don't be angry! How to serve people these days! So many sons and gentlemen who passed by our flower city in Beijing to catch the exam all went to other hospitals for recreation! Who still said, stand up! My whip is just tickling! ”
There is a reason why Wang Mazi has been angry recently.
First of all, the annual rent collection is coming, this large amount of money is not good this year, several new stores have opened in the city, and the son and brother have gone to the new store to eat fresh;
Second, Huacheng is the only way from the south to the capital, and now it has been fighting for many years, either killing the enemy on the battlefield to gain fame, or entering Beijing to catch the exam. Many of the sons and brothers who passed by here came from Yancheng, and the place was rich and they had money in their pockets.
It's a pity that this road is not the main road, and the girls don't have as many flower yards as the main road, so naturally the business is much worse.
At the moment, everyone didn't dare to speak, even Liu Que'er, who was crying on the table, didn't dare to cry.
"Mother Wang, you should also put the door or something, ask someone to renovate it, this tattered, regular customers know our good, but how can we attract these flowing customers?"
At this moment, one girl's voice was languid and long, and her boldness was evident compared to the cautiousness of the other girls. Just as lazy as her voice was her posture, so leisurely, as if the whip in Wang Mazi's hand would never have anything to do with her.
Wang Mazi was choked so directly, not only was she not annoyed, but immediately put away the whip in her hand and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Liu, did you quarrel?" Have a good rest, in the evening, Master Li comes, he comes, just order you, a little silver ingot......"
This is the biggest red card of Jinmanyuan, and it is also the pillar, Liu Meier. Because she walks like a spring breeze blowing willows, she got her name.
The top brand is the top card, although the other girls are also very beautiful, but standing next to Liu Meier, there is a lack of taste. What does it taste like?
Lin Jianqiu couldn't help but take a few more looks, and just a few glances, he felt that he was very hot. He suddenly understood that other people's customs are external and cheesy, but this Liu Meier's style is both internal and external, and it is extremely sultry.
You can't learn this taste.
"What's the use of you just beating them and killing them? Repair it. ”
Liu Meier took the fan, fanned it a few times, and a burst of aroma hit, the incense used by the top brand was exceptionally good, which was specially brought by Li Gongzi from outside the plug, which caused several girls next to her to sniff enviously, she looked very unhappy: "Li Gongzi was only looking for me, the popularity here is poor, and his friends have gone to other hospitals, resulting in him coming less." ”
They are all girls in the same courtyard, they are popular, everyone earns money, and the popularity is poor, and they lose both. Even if it is the top brand, even if it looks like the top card of other hospitals, the income is very different.
"Hey, it costs money to repair...... old lady Wang sighed, stretched out her hand to hold her forehead: "The flower building in the corner is facing us, our location is not good, if it goes on like this, this store will not be able to open!" ”
The girls in the yard had sad faces, and the finches who had been pricked with needles wiped their tears.
"I'm angry!" The more Wang Mazi thought about it, the more angry she became, and she stretched out her hand and pricked the finch again.
"Ahh The finch howled again.
"If you are not good at learning arts, you will not serve Liu Gongzi well!" Wang Mazi raised her hand and wanted to pierce it again.
"Stop fighting!" Lin Jianqiu couldn't stand it anymore, modern people just came over, how could they see such an abuse method for people, let alone a girl like a flower, he stepped forward.
"You're looking for death?" When Wang Mazi saw him like that, she drew her whip again, and the two little servants behind her instantly stretched out their hands and pressed Lin Jianqiu to the table. Old Mother Wang's whip was playing with it in her hand, making a whirring wind.
The whip doesn't whip the girl, not because I feel sorry for the girl, but because I am afraid that the whip will not look good and affect the business, so I take the needle. Whose whip is it? Naturally, it's a small guy.
Especially the disobedient little guy who dares to shout.
Lin Jianqiu was pressed on the table and couldn't move, he looked at the whip in Wang Mazi's hand, and then looked at the grateful finch on the side, he had to calm down.
On the one hand, he can't stand such an abusive girl, on the other hand, he has to save himself, in this strange world, he has to use his knowledge to save himself, otherwise according to this way of working, he will not be able to redeem himself for the rest of his life.
"I've got a way to attract passing scholars to come here and spend, oh no, come here to play."
"Do you have a way?" Wang Mazi snorted from her nostrils, obviously not believing it, what can this little ghost she bought since she was a child do?
"I think their girls look similar to the girls in our Jinmanyuan, it's right that they have a few more top brands, and it's right that they are better repaired, but as long as we make a news and publicize it well, it's not a big problem."
"New, new what? Wen? Publicize? What mess? "There was a fog around them.
"That's it...... It's about building momentum. Lin Jianqiu hurriedly changed his words.
Media knowledge is the only social ability he has mastered, and he doesn't know whether he is used or not in ancient times. Lin Jianqiu was at a loss in his heart. But his tone was full of confidence.
"Really, I can let all the scholars passing by come to our Golden Courtyard!"
