Hua Ji woke up slowly, only to feel that she slept so soundly, and it was uncomfortable to be soft under her, but she hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed for a long time.

Suddenly startled, Hanahime sat up suddenly.

But when she saw the brocade quilt on a soft pillow and the red curtain hanging low, she looked at herself again, and couldn't help screaming, but she was only wearing goose yellow clothes and pants, and her brain buzzed, but she felt as if there was nothing wrong with her body.

Gently lift the red curtain and look out like a thief, but see the mahogany structure of the warm pavilion, the tulle screen of the yellow warbler singing branches, the mahogany dresser, the bright diorama, the ticking self-striking clock, all of which are so novel and luxurious.

Hua Ji was frightened to death, and she didn't know which young lady's boudoir she was in a daze, and saw two sets of dresses neatly arranged at the head of the bed, one of which was gorgeous and dazzling in red gauze, and the other was what she was wearing.

Hanahime hurriedly put on her green dress, which was dry and refreshing, as if she had been washed.

She didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly got out of bed, pulled on her small embroidered shoes, and ran out of the warm pavilion in a panic, but saw that she was in a small courtyard, with green willows hanging low, stone tables and stone benches, and an elegant environment.

Hua Ji didn't dare to stop, and walked out of the courtyard along the stone road, but saw that there was no one around, and her heart was at ease, but the courtyard was layered and the roof ridge was like the sea, but she really didn't know where to go.

Now the farther away from this courtyard is better, Hua Ji looked at the lotus building and the east and west side buildings looming in the green shade, argued the direction, and trotted south along the stone road.

I don't know how many moon cave doors and corner gates I have passed through, but fortunately, the guard lord with bright armor did not interrogate her, but Hua Ji was still scared.

There were more and more slaves and maids, and suddenly I saw two servants in front of me who were wearing foreign cloth azure robes like big brothers with beards walking towards them, Hua Ji had sharp eyes, and she recognized one of them at a glance as Chang Baye, but Chang Baye's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he was limping when he walked.

Hua Ji was so frightened that her heart hung in her throat, and she hurriedly avoided the roadside, looked down at her toes, and prayed that Chang Ba Ye would forget about yesterday and not make trouble for herself.

Chang Ba's face changed greatly when he saw Hua Ji, but he was a hundred times more panicked than Hua Ji, and wanted to avoid it from afar, so he pondered again, respectfully moved forward, nodded and said, "You, where are you going?" ”

Hua Ji couldn't see Chang Ba's actions, and suddenly heard Chang Ba's voice sounding in front of her, so frightened that she took a few steps back, her head hung lower, and said timidly: "I, I'm lost, I want to, I want to go back to the laundry room." ”

Chang Ba secretly complained in his heart, this master looked cowardly, but once he gained power, he really didn't give up, and went to Xiaoqing's trouble?

But there was no way, and he didn't dare to turn around and leave, so he had to say respectfully: "Then, then you come with the little one, and the little one will lead you there." ”

Hua Ji had no choice, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to hang her little head and follow Chang Hachi's heels.

Two months later, the door of the cave was the small courtyard where Hua Ji bandaged Ye Zhao's wounds yesterday.

"Ah, I recognize it." After Hua Ji finished speaking, she hurriedly ran into the courtyard of the maid in the laundry room on the east side, and ran so fast that she was afraid that Chang Ba would call her again.

Chang Ba helplessly looked at Hua Ji's back hidden behind the moon cave door, and he couldn't say anything in his heart, it was as uncomfortable as a needle prick, and the woman he loved was about to be greatly insulted, but he didn't have any choice, and he had to force his face to smile and lead people over. Chang Bayi had the urge to cry.

Now I understand the meaning of "comparing the heart with the heart and pushing oneself and others" in the prince's house motto.

When Xiaoqing bullied Hua Ji, did you ever think of this?

…… As the laundry room manager, Xiaoqing did not sleep in the Chase bunk with the little maids, but shared a room with another housekeeper in the laundry room.

Next to the maid's courtyard is a large courtyard, between the trees, between the iron shelves there are countless hemp ropes, at this time Xiaoqing is limping to direct the little maids to hang the washed flowers and green clothes on the hemp rope to dry.

Although it is called the laundry room, the clothes of the masters of the inner house are not washed by them, and they are only washed by the clothes of the maids and servants who are not married in the house, and they are also responsible for cleaning the utensils and sundries in the house.

Under the head, these women and maids came and went skillfully and busily, some of them were sweating on their foreheads, but they were very energetic.

Most of the little maid women in the laundry room are hired, and they sign a long-term contract to eat and live, two silver oceans a month, where to find such a good errand? And when it comes to doing things in the palace, it's glorious.

"I, I'm late."

Hearing this soft voice, Xiaoqing stiffened, and slowly twisted her swollen pig-like face, but no, Hua Ji was standing behind her timidly.

"Sister Xiaoqing, what do you want me to do, I, I'll do it." Hua Ji looked at her toes timidly, her voice was like a mosquito chirping, I don't know what happened yesterday, where is the bearded brother, and I don't know if Sister Xiaoqing will beat her again.

The smile on Xiaoqing's face was more ugly than crying, probably because of the bruising of his face and the deformation of his muscles, and his voice was a little hoarse: "You, why are you here?" "I really can't see it, she will still tease people.

"I, I don't know, I fainted, I ......" Hanahime explained in a low voice, and she didn't dare to say anything about falling asleep in the lady's boudoir last night, and her voice became lower and lower.

Xiaoqing's heart settled down a little, after all, she had been with Hua Ji for some time, and she knew Hua Ji's surname somewhat. It seems that she still doesn't know what happened?

"You, you won't be in the laundry room in the future!" Xiaoqing felt bitter in her heart, if she wanted to say that she would kowtow now to make amends, she couldn't erase her face, besides, she didn't know what the masters were thinking, and she was talking nonsense now, but she didn't know if she would commit the jealousy of the masters. Fortunately, Hua Ji's surname is kind, and most of them won't hold grudges, so let's talk about it slowly in the future.

"Huh? Why? Hanahime's face turned pale, and she finally raised her head.

Xiaoqing said: "You, don't ask, where did you come from, go back." Seeing that Hua Ji was a little confused, Xiaoqing said helplessly: "Then, then you come with me." ”

Limped and led Hua Ji out, but a woman who was drying clothes next to her ran over, in the laundry room, she was good to Hua Ji, and then she was even more affectionate, holding Hua Ji's hand, and said with a happy face: "Hua Ji, don't forget the eldest sister in the future!" "Look at these little hands, who is the person who does rough work?" Born to be a mother! Admired, as if she was quite prescient, and glanced at Xiaoqing even more provocatively. Don't talk about how Hua Ji will be favored in the future, just the girls in the house, if you want to say that changing this laundry room steward is not a matter of words?

Xiaoqing didn't say anything, now that the limelight is hot, she can't be honest anymore.

The small courtyard where Hua Ji lives is actually outside the vermilion wall of the inner house, next to the copper nail gate leading to the courtyard of the inner house, at this time the gate is open, and several female guards with knives patrol back and forth, seeing that Xiaoqing and Hua Ji went to the small courtyard The female guards have taken a few more looks, Xiaoqing hurriedly put on a smiling face, but Hua Ji didn't dare to look at the inner house.

"You're just waiting in your room, aren't you? It's almost noon, too. Xiaoqing led Hua Ji into the small courtyard, and she didn't dare to enter the house again, under the locust tree in the courtyard, she looked like a big sister.

Hua Ji gradually felt that something was wrong, but her surname was soft, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she could only listen to Xiaoqing's words, and when she saw Sister Xiaoqing leave, she entered the house.

There was a burst of sandalwood in the house, and when she went out, someone had already come to light the incense, and the messy bedding on the bed was neatly folded, the red curtain was also hung with a golden hook, and there were fruits on the table outside the screen, which was not the scene when she left.

Hua Ji didn't dare to touch anything, so she stood in a daze, not knowing what Sister Xiaoqing wanted her to wait for, but she could only wait.

Footsteps finally sounded in the courtyard, the bead curtain was lifted, and a person walked in, Hua Ji was immediately surprised and delighted, it was the bearded brother, she seemed to dream last night.

"Big Brother Beard." Hua Ji couldn't help but shout in surprise, only after shouting did she realize that it was inappropriate, her pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and looked at her toes, not daring to say anything more.

Ye Zhao was stunned, and then laughed, "This title is also chic, interesting, interesting, haha." ”

I have just dealt with a few official matters, and I read Lu Yueting's writings on the Fairness Party, but my heart moved, Lu Yueting is a person with clear literature and reasoning, and he has a lot of insight into the darkness of the [***] system, and he is even more sensational, calling on "the suffering people of all China to unite and bring down the [***] rulers", these works are said to have been co-authored by Lu Yueting and a Fairness Party who works in the church in Hong Kong, but it seems that he already has the basic theoretical framework of the revolutionary party, and even goes beyond the narrow thinking of expelling the Tartars. In addition, Lu Yueting and a large number of fairness party members are nowhere to be found, these people in the future, if someone funds them, maybe it will become the climate, and the revolutionary party will naturally have to change their own lives, but this matter must not be ignored, but it is necessary for Ruisi to pay more attention from now on.

Ye Zhao did not agree with Lu Yueting's theory, first of all, under the current conditions, even if the revolution was successful, it was not the same as those in Tianjing? The absurdity of the new aristocratic class is rampant, and Hong Renji's theory of capitalist governance is only used as a cover by them, so where will it be true? Another one breaks all the old traditions and old order, and has no concept of policies, rule of law, and people's livelihood after the founding of the country, but I don't know how long it will take to form an orderly society again. What's more, if the revolutionary party wants to succeed, it will inevitably have a good opportunity for the world to be in turmoil, and this time when the world is in chaos and the world is in order, it will miss the best opportunity to catch up with Europa, and the family wealth accumulated in China for thousands of years and 100 years will be tossed clean, just like in the previous life.

The so-called rejuvenation of the people and the suffering of the people of the dead, the improvement of the living standards of the poorest strata in a down-to-earth manner, the improvement of the efficiency of wealth creation, and the gradual realization of a healthy society of public opinion is the right way.

Ye Zhao also believes that without the blind tossing and turning in the next hundred years, the current society will develop in an orderly manner, and in more than a hundred years, compared with the future generations they have experienced, the Chinese will confidently stand tall in the world. This self-confidence is not equal to the self-confidence of later generations, and it will never form all kinds of strange ideas like later generations, and it will be full of extremes, blind arrogance, and inferiority complexes, and the information channels obtained are different, the education is different, and the insights are different, and all kinds of one-sided world views are formed.

Sometimes Ye Zhao also pondered that even if the later generations really boiled and decided on a referendum on a certain national policy, one person, one vote, maybe it would cause chaos in the world, because later generations had never formed a mature and healthy public opinion environment, and all kinds of brainwashing at home and abroad made people think confused. In the final analysis, it started from the root of the lack of self-confidence, and the seeds were sown a hundred years ago.

Thinking about these things, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little sullen, looking at the time when it was noon, but he remembered Hua Ji, I don't know if I slept better, I was sold like goods when I left my hometown, and I was abused a lot in the house, but it was really pitiful, the good thing is that the little girl came out of the sludge without staining, and kept a pure heart, which is also where Ye Zhao likes her.

When he entered the house and heard Hua Ji's "Big Brother with a beard", Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh, and the fatigue of the long day seemed to be swept away.

"Call me Brother Ye." Seeing Hua Ji looking at her toes timidly, Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Well, Brother Ye!" Hua Ji screamed quietly, still not daring to look at Ye Zhao, her clear gaze was panicking.

Ye Zhao smiled: "When did you wake up?" ”

Hua Jiqiao blushed and shook her head: "No, I don't know." Suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked anxiously: "Brother Ye, they didn't treat you well, right?" Did you hit you? ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "What do you say? ”

Hua Ji was innocent, but she was not stupid, and knocked on her head: "I'm so stupid, this room must have been told by Brother Ye to sleep, Chang Baye and Sister Xiaoqing didn't mention yesterday's incident, and it was Brother Ye who helped me, Brother Ye, you are a noble person in the house, aren't you?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "I can't say it, but I am quite familiar with the chief steward." ”

Hua Ji suddenly said gratefully: "Brother Ye, you are just like my grandmother." "Grandma said that everyone is guarded by a star in the sky, and in the mortal world, that star is the person around you. Grandma also said that Hanahime also has a star guarding her night and will secretly wipe away your tears so that you will no longer be sad. Brother Ye is the star that grandma said, right?

Same as grandma? Ye Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, scratched his head, and said, "What? Hungry, right? What do you want to eat? ”

Hua Ji didn't dare to make up her mind, and said, "Don't you go to the dining hall to eat?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Don't go, it's okay, listen to me, just say whatever you want to eat, I'll have a treat today, let's go out to eat." ”

As soon as she heard that she was going out to eat, Hua Ji was startled, it can be seen that Brother Ye is arrogant, so he has a strong courage, and he ordered a little brain, but in fact, he has the determination to die, if he is exposed, he can't affect Brother Ye.

Ye Zhao said: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Hua Ji whispered: "Big brother eats whatever Hua Ji eats." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Then let's put it this way, what was your favorite food when you were a child?" ”

Hanahime blurted out: "Big stick soup knife rice." "When I was very young, my grandmother asked someone to buy it from the city, and she liked to eat the most delicious food.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Then let's go eat the big stick soup, you wait, I'll ask where this is sold." ”

When Ye Zhao arrived outside, several plainclothes guards hurriedly dispersed, and when they saw Ye Zhao waving over, Ye Zhao asked, "Do you know what big stick soup is." Then he looked at a guard and said with a smile: "You are from Yunnan, you must know that Yunnan big stick soup." ”

The guard was stunned and said, "The slave has heard that this big stick soup is called shabu-shabu soup in Guangzhou." ”

Ye Zhao said: "Where can I sell it?" ”

"The three gates of the East City are the most." The guard's face was a little strange.

Three Gates in the East City? Isn't that a miscellaneous campus? Zhu Sisi lived there, the most poor people, and seeing the guard's face, Ye Zhao also knew that it was definitely not a rare delicacy.

Immediately, Ye Zhao shouted into the house: "Hua Ji, let's go, let's go eat this big stick soup." ”

Hua Ji timidly walked out and followed Ye Zhao's side, although she might be beaten or even sold again when she came back, she didn't want to ruin Brother Ye's interest.

…… Sitting in the carriage, Hua Ji lowered her head and didn't speak, let alone look at Ye Zhao.

The carriage galloped to Dongcheng, Ye Zhao opened the curtain and looked out, but nodded slightly, what he had just passed was the courtyard where Zhu Sisi's family lived, the collapsed courtyard wall had been built, and several miscellaneous courtyards next to it had also been repaired, and the living environment was improving.

But when Ye Zhao saw what shabu-shabu soup, he immediately felt a little dizzy, what shabu-shabu? It's just coolie rice sold in the fire alley, a little oil flower cooked from bones that have been boiled for I don't know how many years, a large piece of cabbage stewed, a large bowl of brush oil soup may be found in a small minced meat that can't be plugged between the teeth, and the brown rice with hard teeth is shabu-shabu soup knife rice.

Ye Zhao chatted with the owner of the rice stall, and heard that there is still a kind of mixed stew in Guangzhou now, and the boss is in business, and after an hour or two at noon, the shabu oil soup will be collected and he will start selling miscellaneous minced meat. The so-called minced meat is leftovers collected from restaurants and restaurants. The rice stall was taken back and mixed with a few scoops of water, sprinkled with salt and boiled, and it still looked fragrant and oily. Poor people spend three or five small dollars to buy a bowl, and they eat happily, jokingly saying that the pork bones in it are mace, the skin of the meat is hob meat, and the fish bones are stick fish.

The boss said again, now the cabbage in the shabu-shabu soup is already the fresh cabbage bought, no longer the rotten cabbage gang that used to go to the vegetable market to pick up, and the miscellaneous meat, the business is not as good as before, people used to eat mixed meat, the poor people can not see the meat for a year, and they have been addicted, and now in the city of Guangzhou, there are more and more people who buy two taels of meat every year, why eat other people's leftovers?

The boss sighed and said, it seems that in two years, this miscellaneous meat can only be sold in the countryside.

Ye Zhao felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and he could finally see some results, and it was not in vain that he tossed with all his strength.

Let's try this cabbage soup today, and I can know how the bitter haha is doing, Ye Zhao took Hua Ji and stood in front of the oily triangular tattered table, but there was no bench, so he could only eat it standing up. And the coolies, most of them squatted aside and ate heartily, which looked very fragrant.

"Boss, come for two!" Ye Zhao beckoned, and immediately countless eyes shot over, to say that Ye Zhao and the boss accosted, people thought that it might be asking for directions or something, but to say eating? Although Ye Zhao and Hua Ji are not luxuriously dressed, they are neat and clean, and Hua Ji is a fairy-like little beauty, so they come to eat hard food? I can't even think of it?

Ye Zhaocai didn't care about the eyes of others, he was calm, Hua Ji followed him, didn't pay attention to anything, and Brother Ye said whatever he wanted.

"Ye Zhao?" Suddenly, there was a crisp voice with a hint of surprise.

Ye Zhao turned around, and at the mouth of the fire alley, there was a heroic policewoman, delicate and pretty, with a black uniform, a narrow belt tied to a soft and slender waist, and a crisp chest was straight and full, with a slender waist and a plump and graceful hips.

It's Zhu Sisi.

But isn't it, although the Gregorian calendar is not used in Guangzhou now, but the yamen such as the patrol room is a seven-day break, Ye Zhao thinks that this is more scientific, and it can mobilize the active surnames of public servants to work.

Ye Zhaoluo's bearded image has been to the Xiguan Patrol and Arrest Bureau, and Zhu Sisi also knows him.

There was an old man beside Zhu Sisi, whose face was as wrinkled as a ravine, dense, and he was weathered at first sight, his back was a little hunched, and his spirit was strong.

The first thing Zhu Sisi saw was Hua Ji, after all, such a beautiful little girl was extremely eye-catching, not to mention her long black and soft hair.

Seeing this little beautiful baby's companion again, Zhu Sisi immediately became a little angry, where did this pervert come from to abduct such a beautiful little beauty?

Seeing the two of them standing in the coolie pile, Zhu Sisi was even more angry, this silver stick was lustful and stingy, Mingxia was, after buying it, she threw it home, and she didn't give a bite of food, and now it is even worse, asking someone to eat this cabbage gang? I really know how to save money.

Originally, because of the black police, and Ye Zhao was very smart, Zhu Sisi had a slight improvement in his opinion, but now she couldn't wait to chop him.

When Ye Zhao saw his acquaintance, he came over with a smile and said hello: "Zhu Sisi, ah, this is Shibo, right?" Seeing the old man and Zhu Sisi's expressions, you can guess that it is father and daughter.

Father Zhu smiled kindly and asked, "Sisi, is this your friend?" ”

"Colleague, friends don't dare to be, Inspector Zhu is my superior." Ye Zhao hurriedly answered, and when he saw Zhu Sisi glaring at him fiercely, he began to feel a little strange, he had made a meritorious contribution to the Patrol Bureau last time, but when he saw Zhu Sisi in an instant, he asked Hua Ji with a look of pity: "Little sister, what is your name?" ”

Ye Zhao understood, dare to love and think that the little girl he bought it from was ruined, right? Speaking of which, Hua Ji is not very old, maybe fifteen or sixteen years old, but her development is much more mature than Rong'er, but at first glance, she also knows that she is not a little small.

Hua Ji timidly bowed her head and replied, "Hua Ji." ”

Hearing this name, Zhu Sisi's eyes became even more angry when she looked at Ye Zhao, it was obvious that she bought it.

Father Zhu didn't think about it so much, when he heard that it was Zhu Sisi's colleague, he couldn't bear it, and said: "Money is tight, don't eat these leftovers, come with me, let's go to the restaurant to invite my mother, and there are no more pairs of chopsticks, come on." ”

Zhu Sisi was disdainful in her heart, and said that he was not short of money, but he was stingy. He took Hanahime's hand and said, "Let's go, go eat pork ribs with my sister." "I thought about it in my heart, why did I break this pervert thing, it's best to let this little one go secretly.

Hua Ji looked at Ye Zhao with a blank eye, naturally she wanted to listen to Brother Ye. Who knew that Zhu Sisi pulled her away, and Hua Ji was busy trying to break free, but where could she break free of Zhu Sisi's hand?

Ye Zhao had no choice but to follow, and said to Hua Ji again: "Don't be afraid, this Sister Zhu is a good person, but she is a little confused here." As he spoke, he pointed to his head.

Zhu Sisi glared angrily, but Hua Ji quietly withdrew her little hand from her palm, and ran to the other side of Ye Zhao, obviously feeling that Sister Zhu was talking to Brother Ye, and there was something wrong with her brain.

The four of them entered the tavern in front of them, which was not large, but it was neat.

Someone at the window table called: "Lao Zhu, here." "But she was an aunt, forty or fifty years old, with triangular eyes, shrewd at first glance, wearing a blue cloth skirt with patches and patches.

Zhu Sisi said to Ye Zhao fiercely: "Don't talk for a while, just eat yours, I'm inviting Hua Ji to eat pork ribs, not to invite you to stir it." ”

Ye Zhao made an ok gesture, Zhu Sisi had seen it a few times, knew what it meant, glared at him, and walked up to greet the aunt.

Ye Zhao and Hua Ji sat down, but they honestly and unceremoniously ordered a few meat dishes, pork ribs, smoked chicken, and steamed fish, so angry that Zhu Sisi glared at him with all his might, but in front of the aunt, it was difficult to say anything.

Listening to Daddy Zhu and the aunt talking, it turned out to be a bride price and a son, Zhu Sisi's brother and Aunt Li's daughter are both printing factory workers, but they saw the right eye, it can be said that they are in free love, but the Zhu family's proposal was rejected by Aunt Li, because of the suspicion that the bride price was small, and the matchmaker couldn't talk about it several times, so Zhu Sisi made the decision and asked Aunt Li to come out to talk, and Daddy Zhu, the parent, naturally wanted to be present.

This is also a new feature of marriage in the new era, and there seems to be no such three-headed and six-sided discussion of bride price before.

Aunt Li's attitude is very resolute, fifty silver oceans, not one less, not to mention that the son of the Chen family wants to marry her junior as a concubine, and she will open her mouth for fifty silver oceans, if Father Zhu does not agree, she will marry her daughter to the Chen family.

Zhu Sisi increased the bride price from twenty yuan to thirty, and Aunt Li said that she would not agree to anything.

Ye Zhao knew at a glance that Zhu Sisi had earned a year's salary? This big family is estimated to depend on her, the elder brother marries, the younger brother goes to school, I am afraid there is more than one elder brother. Let's just say thirty yuan of silver, I'm afraid that I will have to borrow it from others, and pay it back slowly, no wonder she is so frugal.

Aunt Li's attitude was extremely resolute, and she sneered: "If your family really loves my three girls, don't buy vegetables in the vegetable market, how can there be bargaining?" He said to Father Zhu again: "I see, the three girls of my family also suffered when they came to your Zhu family, or forget it, right?" ”

Father Zhu's face was gloomy.

Zhu Sisi has a little spark in her eyes, obviously if it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have been angry with this a long time ago, but her thin shoulders provoked the whole family, and it is her father's greatest wish for her brother to become a family, not to mention that her brother is also not small, she should have said that her daughter-in-law has been unconditional a long time ago, and now her brother finally has a crush on his own, how can he help his brother marry back, and he has to endure how many grievances he has suffered.

As soon as Zhu Sisi gritted her teeth, she was ready to raise the price, although forty Yinyang may overwhelm the family for several years, but no matter how much she saves, she can always ease up.

Ye Zhao suddenly smiled at this time: "Yes, Aunt Li, you are right, this marriage is not a vegetable market to buy vegetables, and bargaining is meaningless." ”

Zhu Sisi was so angry, she glared at Ye Zhao: "Don't speak!" ”

Aunt Li agreed, and said happily: "Yes, this eldest brother is an understanding person, let's discuss it like this, it will make people laugh when it spreads, and my face has nowhere to put it." Big brother, don't you say? ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "That's it, the bride price, of course, it's a fixed price, it's really impossible to talk about it, and it's broken up in two." ”

Aunt Li nodded with a smile.

Zhu Sisi wanted to poke Ye Zhao's mouth with chopsticks.

Ye Zhao didn't realize it, and said to Aunt Li: "You are marrying a daughter, not selling a girl, this is not a reason to be sold at a price, now the world is good, but twenty oceans, the rice bought can be piled up into a hill, put aside the previous marriage, just our poor family, just a bucket of rice, auntie, don't you say?" ”

Aunt Li's smile froze, and her eyes were not so friendly when she looked at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao said again: "Just twenty oceans, how many of these poor families can get it?" Auntie, if you want to agree, you can agree, if you don't want to, we will break up. ”

Zhu Sisi was almost angry to death, telling you not to mix, if you have to mix, you know that you have no good business, thirty yuan people don't agree, you have dropped to twenty yuan? Isn't this intended to be sabotage?

Aunt Li suddenly changed color, stood up and said, "Brother Zhu, eldest sister of the Zhu family, this is what you mean, right?" There's nothing more to say, I'm leaving! ”

Ye Zhao didn't wait for Zhu Sisi to speak, so he said: "You go yours, but you have to know, sell your daughter for fifty yuan to be a concubine, you have taken fifty yuan in your life, the third girl suffers in the family, maybe in a few years the old Zhuhuang will be driven out, you want to raise her for nothing, and she will be laughed at, this will cost you twenty or thirty years, how much rice will it take?" Have you calculated the degree of food and clothing? ”

Aunt Li snorted: "Do you know that the three girls in my family can't be favored and give birth to a boy and a girl?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Our children from poor families can really hope to compete for favor?" Maybe in three or two months, people will fade, how can we poor children learn the charm of coaxing the master? Even if you can learn it, but think about it, your three girls can fight better than others? Take 10,000 steps back and say, a partial house is a partial house, and if you become a concubine, you don't want to raise your head for the rest of your life. Your Aunt Li's abacus is crackling, and in this business, you only have the benefit of fifty yuan, which can only be less, not more, and will make your daughter suffer for the rest of her life. ”

Aunt Li was silent.

Ye Zhao smiled again: "Let's continue to calculate the income of the twenty yuan of Yinyang, first, the third girl and Brother Zhu are in love, the third girl has found a good home, the little two of them are earning wages, and the son must be and Meimei, and in the future, I will be grateful to you as a daughter and son-in-law during the New Year's Festival, even if you only give you a silver dollar a year, you will live a long life, and you will earn back the thirty yuan." Second, you have the Zhu family as your in-laws, and you have something to watch over and help each other, not the nominal relatives of the Chen family, it's too late to avoid you, and you can't get to other people's homes if you have something, right? ”

Ye Zhao pointed at Zhu Sisi again, and said: "Auntie doesn't know, don't look at the young age of this Zhu girl, but she is the inspector of the patrol room, and there are dozens of patrol policemen under him, even if you stay up for a long time in the future, I think it's no problem to stay up to the bureau of our Guangzhou Mansion, don't you want to think about it, how big an official is that, the Chen family can compare?" And this is a real relative. Take 10,000 steps back, and Miss Zhu has been the inspector, so your Li family doesn't have to be afraid of being bullied, right? Aunt Li, you should have a lot of children, right? If you want to find a job, Inspector Zhu can help, what is the boundary of Xiguan? How many big families in Guangzhou City are in Xiguan? Inspector Zhu is in charge of Xiguan, the emperor of the soil, he is familiar with it, and he helps introduce a job, and it is not a matter of corruption and bending the law, in a word. ”

"I won't say much else, auntie, you are also a shrewd person, you should know whether what I said is reasonable or not."

Aunt Li's face changed several times and said, "I, I'll go to the thatched house." ”

Seeing Aunt Li's back disappear at the door of the tavern, Zhu Sisi gritted her silver teeth and scolded Ye Zhao: "Don't stir up, don't stir up!" What have you done all day except to do bad things to me? I owe you in my last life?! Just know nonsense, what soil emperor? What kind of job are you looking for? He said to Father Zhu again: "Dad, it's really not good, I'll tell Aunt Li, fifty is fifty, the eldest brother is still waiting for a reply, he has been restless since the morning, and he hasn't eaten." I'm going to chase Aunt Li. With that, he stood up.

Father Zhu frowned and said: "I think what this kid said is reasonable, you, don't worry, wait, I don't think the sister-in-law of the Li family will just leave." ”

Zhu Sisi glared at Ye Zhao, sat down with hatred, felt uneasy in her heart, and said to Hua Ji: "Sister, you don't have to be afraid of him, leave now, with me, he dares to chase you, I will collapse him!" ”

Hua Ji was very inexplicable, she didn't know what this fierce sister was talking about, and timidly moved her body to Ye Zhao's side.

Ye Zhao asked Hua Ji with a smile: "Are the ribs delicious?" ”

Hua Ji snorted, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, I am happier than anything else when I listen to you." But, it's just ......" Sitting next to Brother Ye and listening to him, my heart was warm, I was really unspeakably happy, but I didn't know if I would be able to see Brother Ye again in the future.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Then I will often tell you in the future." ”

Hua Ji nodded happily, but she didn't think about it, what if she didn't see Brother Ye, seeing Brother Ye would only hurt him, as long as Brother Ye was happy for the rest of his life, it would be better than anything else.

Zhu Sisi bit her lip, her eyes were a little black with anger, I really don't know if this color stick will drug people? Mingxia too, this fairy-like beautiful little sister too, they all think he is a good person, but too, such a small little point, being coaxed a few words, don't you think he is a good person? How do you know how despicable this person is?

At this time, Aunt Li turned around, but with a smile on her face, she sat back in her place, and said to Father Zhu: "Brother Zhu, let's settle the day by the way." ”

Father Zhu was stunned for a moment and said, "The bride price ......"

Aunt Li smiled all over her face, not to mention more affection: "I, I was joking with you and my eldest niece just now, as long as the three girls in my family have a good home, am I still unhappy as a mother?" The amount of this bride price is a heart. I know that Brother Zhu's family also has difficulties, just twenty yuan, it's too little, and it also makes people say that you Brother Zhu is slamming the door, isn't it? Besides, my eldest niece has to ask for this too! ”

Father Zhu's heart was relieved, and he secretly gave Ye Zhao a thumbs up.

Zhu Sisi was surprised, but she still glared at Ye Zhao.

Waiting for Daddy Zhu and Aunt Li to settle the day, as soon as Aunt Li left, Daddy Zhu said to Ye Zhao with a grateful face: "I really don't know how to thank you, you, you are the great benefactor of my Zhu family, the eldest nephew, I sell an old man, call your eldest nephew, okay?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

Father Zhu said: "Big nephew, you see that I don't know how to thank you, so, in two days, my eldest will be off duty, you must arrive, I want to ask that kid to thank you for this big matchmaker!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "It must be." ”

Zhu Sisi rolled her eyes and ignored him.
