Ma Sheng and the others came back when the first snow fell in the capital.

They took a boat to the river wharf dozens of miles away from the capital, and sent someone to report to Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi had already asked Zhou Chun to contact the car dealership, and after getting the letter, he immediately asked Zhou Chun to go to the dock with more than 20 freight mule carts to transport the stones on the ship to the capital.

Originally, it was a car dealership, and what the guests wanted to transport was the privacy of the guests, and the people in the car dealership were not allowed to inquire.

But this time, seeing that everyone was moving from the boat to the mule cart was full of stones, the people in the car dealer couldn't help but be curious in their hearts, and asked, "Steward Zhou, what are you doing transporting this stone back to the capital?" ”

In case anyone inquired, Zhao Ruxi had already made up a nonsense and told Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng. Of course, the time and place are different, and this set of nonsense should also be used flexibly, and the content should be adjusted accordingly.

Zhou Chun sighed and replied calmly: "My old lady went to the temple to burn incense, and I heard the monks in the temple say that he will have a catastrophe next year, and he needs to use the stones in Qiu Cheng, the birthplace of the Great Pessimistic Guanyin Bodhisattva, to build a house to live in, so that he can spend it safely." Therefore, he instructed his family to go to Qiu City to buy stones and transport them to the capital. ”

Anyway, the old lady of the Zhao family has been dead for more than ten years, and she is not afraid of being cursed.

The people of the car dealership will be skeptical.

However, the rich and noble families have nothing to do when they are full, and they think about everything all day long. Especially those old men and old ladies, who have all kinds of strange ideas. Anyway, they are rich and powerful, so they toss around casually.

He didn't ask again. When others asked him curiously, he told Zhou Chun's rhetoric, and everyone sighed for a while, feeling that being rich is capricious.

These stones were carried by five ships, and the ships were quite large, and the stones were so heavy that more than twenty mule carts could not carry them all. Zhou Chun hired more than a dozen mule carts in the local area, and only then did he transport all the stones back.

When Zhao Ruxi began to prepare for the workshop, he didn't expect to be able to do business with the emperor and have such a good shield. Now that things have changed, so have her plans.

Jade Workshop, she plans to use the same operation mode as the safe, she hides behind her and does not come forward, and directly puts the glorious and majestic emperor in front to attract firepower.

So she bought a second-entry house in Bac Ninh, which was specially used as a jadeite processing workshop. In order to facilitate management and make reasonable use of the nursing home, she bought the house next door to the authentic house.

Zhou Chun couldn't figure it out.

He asked, "Girl, isn't the house next door to us empty?" How do you still buy a house? In order to win the house, the girl also gave a high price.

"I have other uses for the house next door." Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan's people often came from the tunnel and removed the parts of the clock processed in the workshop. Although the whereabouts of those gray-clothed men are extremely hidden, the nursing home sent by Zhao Ruxi to guard the house has never found them. However, there are rules for the duties of the nursing home, and the actions are relatively fixed, so it is easier to avoid them.

Once she arranges people to do things inside, these people are very random, they walk around, and the probability of running into each other is great, Xiao Lingyan's people will be very inconvenient to do things, and it will be even more difficult to find out, and the secret will be completely exposed.

When the time comes, will she kill people or kill people?

So she'd rather buy an extra house than take the risk.

Fortunately, she has money now, and the house in Bac Ninh is not expensive, so it is nothing to buy another one.

In the past few years, the country has been safe and secure, and the housing prices around the capital have been rising steadily over the years.

After unloading the stones and sending the people from the car dealership, Zhao Ruxi rewarded each of the people who went to the south with ten taels of silver, and said, "You go back and have a good rest, you don't have to do anything before the New Year." After the New Year, I will arrange for you to work. ”

Before going, Zhao Ruxi said that they worked the road and took risks, so the monthly silver they were given was ten taels per month. They spent more than two months going back and forth, and Ma Sheng gave them a total of twenty-five taels of silver per month. Now that they have received an extra ten taels of reward, everyone is smiling and thanking Zhao Ruxi one after another.

Especially the men who were transferred from the Zhuangzi, holding silver, their eyes were red.

They used to work hard in Zhuangzi all year round, and they could have a good life if they could spare more than 100 yuan at the end of the year. Now it's just a trip, a car when they go, a boat when they come back, and they don't have to walk, and in more than two months they get the money they can't earn in their lifetime, and they feel like they're dreaming.

The son who has a lot of money has more money than others, and he is bolder than others.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Girl, will you still carry stones in the future?" If you are lucky, can you still use us? ”

When the men on the Zhuangzi heard this, they looked at Zhao Ruxi expectantly one by one.

Zhao Ruxi said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to be lucky, and I will use you when the time comes." However, it depends on the situation when you will go again, and it may not be until a year later. ”

A year later, when there was a chance to earn so much silver, the men happily closed their mouths, and gave Zhao Ruxi another salute with great gratitude, and then said goodbye and left, and went back to Zhuangzi.

"Alas, after being away from home for more than two months, I feel like I have been away for as long as a lifetime."

"Isn't it? I have never left Zhuangzi before. At first glance, I was not used to it. But now that I think about it, it's really worth it to have the opportunity to travel south and north, see so much of the world, and get so much money in this life. ”

"Haha, you were still crying because you were homesick." The other laughed.

"Hmph, dare you say you didn't cry?"

“……”

Watching the young people in front of him playing around, the man in his thirties who walked behind sighed: "The girl is really benevolent." In the past, even if we were to go far away, it would be good to be able to give a total of one or two taels of silver, how could I give so much? ”

"Not really. On the road, Dazhu was sick like that, if it was another master, he might have given up. But Steward Ma was willing to spend a lot of money to treat Dazhu, and snatched Dazhu's life back from the ghost gate. ”

"Steward Ma can say that before leaving, the girl specially told him to ensure our health and life safety, and would rather walk slower and take a detour, not in a hurry, not to take risks. If it weren't for the girl's explanation, how would Steward Ma dare to spend more than a dozen taels of silver to see a doctor for Dazhu? The road is also very relaxed. Sometimes it's just the end of the day, because I don't know if there is a place to stay in front of me, Steward Ma is stunned and asks us to stop and rest early. Otherwise, where can it take so long to come and go? ”

"Not really. Because of this, the girl spent an unknown amount of money. ”
