24. Business is bleak
Liu Yuanwai was recently chosen by the god of bad luck, everything did not go well, and his mood was quite unbeautiful.
The little prince who came to visit from a neighboring country somehow inexplicably held a grudge against their family, and found fault with him everywhere; 's daughter was molested and seriously injured, but she still disagreed with him, one will be single and the other will be in love; Two days ago, he volunteered to accompany several princes on behalf of the emperor, but the little prince and his daughter fell into the pit and were rescued until dark.
The emperor will definitely recruit him into the palace in the next few days, and he doesn't know what kind of punishment he will face. Because of his negligence, the little prince of the neighboring country stayed in the pit for a long time, and he didn't want the black gauze hat on his head, and he would also implicate his family. Maybe in order to curry favor with several princes of neighboring countries, the emperor not only took off his hat, but also exiled their family to some poor country, and never set foot in the capital again.
Liu Yuanwai shuddered. Thinking that in his life, he was thrifty and honest, and he worked hard to be a small officer, and he never had any big ambitions, let alone calculated anyone. Why did God do this to him?
Glancing at Liu Yinyin, who couldn't put down the puppy, Liu Yuanwai sighed helplessly. The daughter is not young, but she is still a few years old child, causing trouble for him everywhere, and I don't know when I will grow up.
Liu Yinyin, who was having a good time, didn't know what her father was thinking about there. She only felt that now that she had love, a dog, and stayed in the pit with the little prince of a neighboring country for a long time, it could be regarded as a level. Now that everything is so harmonious, what is there to sigh about?
Qiao Xiaoshi didn't think so, she wondered if she had angered a great god recently. Her business is now very bleak, almost no one cares, and she is almost so poor that she will move back to Shangshu Mansion.
Although her father is not short of money, Qiao Xiaoshi doesn't have to make a living by painting makeup at all, but this is out of her hobby, and she doesn't plan to give up.
Qiao Xiaoshi felt that this was a normal phenomenon. She has been doing this for I don't know how many years, and she has painted makeup for almost every household in the capital, and no business will always be smooth, and it is a normal phenomenon that there are fewer people sometimes, and I believe it will not be long before it will return.
But she waited for nearly a month, not only did it not get better, but even there were fewer and fewer people, and her eyebrow pencil was about to form a spider web. If she continues like this, she will have to go bankrupt.
Qiao Xiaoshi was puzzled, and planned to go out to find two customers to earn lunch money first.
She arrived at the house of her old client, Song Shilang. Song Shilang has countless wives and concubines, and there are almost countless daughters, and he marries a daughter almost a month, and every time he asks her to dress up the bride. The marriage is endless, and her income is naturally endless.
Qiao Xiaoshi calculated, this month is almost Song Shilang's fourth daughter married.
She tidied up her dress and said softly to the open door, "Is Song Shilang here?" I have something to look for him, so please tell him. ”
As soon as the words fell, the carved lacquered wooden door trembled, and then "snapped" and closed tightly.
What's going on? Qiao Xiaoshi stopped for a long time in amazement, and no one answered when he knocked on the door again. She leaned on the door and listened attentively, and the laughter of the girl's family and the man's loud words were faintly heard in the house.
Qiao Xiaoshi did not give up, and went to General Xie, Prime Minister Ruan Cheng, Xu Yuanwai and many other people who often came to take care of her business, and all of them were closed. Before the last person closed the door, he poked his head out and said to her with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry, Lord Qiao, I can't invite you here again, you can go to the west of the city to have a look." ”
