Chapter 43: A New Beginning 1
The two carriages looked very old, and even the curtains of the carriages could no longer be colored. But when I sat inside, I found that the inside was much better than the outside. The 12 girls, plus Xiaoqiang and Xiaorou sitting in two carriages, did not look crowded at all. Poplar sat on the wheel and chatted with the chariot driver.
"Uncle, why isn't there anyone driving the car?" Poplar asked casually.
"Eldest son, since your master has just come to the capital, he needs people and objects. These two cars happened to be eliminated by large families, the price was fair, and the quality was also very good, so we bought them. White girl, you won't refuse, will you? The beard said with a smile, and pressed his hand on the car board behind him.
Puzzled, Poplar reached out and pressed it, only to find that behind the uncolored silk cloth was a hard plank. No wonder the curtain behind the carriage did not flutter in the wind when it ran. Poplar couldn't help but self-reflect, and his ability to observe was dulled.
"Uncle, won't you two have to squat on a tree in the future? Our small yard is too small, so we can only grieve the two of you to live in a firewood house. Poplar was no longer entangled in the carriage, and said bluntly to the beard.
"The white girl is smart, your shop is not worth the same amount when it expands, how can you still live in such a small yard? Our master suggested that the small yard should be made in the future. ”
"Uncle, can I understand that your master has found me a new courtyard? Ben is still very poor, and she can neither afford to rent nor buy. ”
"The white girl laughed, there was a secret foothold of our master, so I gave it to the white girl, and our master said that the white girl saved his life twice. In the future, there may be a need for the White Girl to help her. That courtyard looked shabby, both in terms of the consultation fee and the reward for saving lives. Please also ask the white girl not to refuse, and not to dislike it. ”
"Your master is so generous, this girl thinks this should be a place that your master abandoned, right?"
"White girl, let's not hide it, we have a lot of masters in such places. It's not about throwing it away, it's about safety. If a place has been used for a long time, there will always be clues. The white girl is a person of great wisdom and should be able to understand the intentions of her master. ”
Poplar was silent, and his perception of the Easy King had a new content. People who look at a tendon will even think of these. The complex court hall is really a good place to exercise people.
"White girl, why don't you speak? has entered the outer city, what to do with these 12 little girls? ”
"Uncle, let's go find a place to take a bath for them first, and my younger siblings and I will go out to buy some clothes and come back. Then take them to the hospital. Thank you for me, master, and I will stay in the courtyard with my younger brothers and sisters for the time being. Later we went back to the small yard to pack up and move to a new house. ”
"The white girl is refreshing, and someone is already doing this."
"Oh, your master is rough and delicate. I can't see through this girl. ”
Poplar's good-natured banter arrived. Let the bearded brothers drive the carriage up the streets of the outer city. I came to a shop without a pretense.
"White girl, this is where the girls bathe, and there are no signboards outside. Do you see the mother-in-law standing at the door? You take these girls over, and your mother-in-law will arrange for them to be cleaned. As long as the money is in place, there are clean coarse cloth clothes in it. Hu Ziyi explained.
"Ah, there is still such a place? This girl has been in the capital for more than ten years. Poplar said a little self-deprecatingly.
"White girl, this is a place for good people to behave. As for how to behave as a white girl, you know. Beard said cryptically.
Poplar understood that the so-called good man might be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Female beggars live more miserable than male beggars. When you have the ability and power, you must make sure that there are no beggars in this capital. Even the Great Yan Kingdom has no beggars. Poplar secretly made up his mind and set goals for himself for the future.
By the time these girls were settled, it was already the middle of the night. Poplar and four girls who are not yet 10 years old are ready to return to the new yard. Xiao Rou and Xiao Qiang had already followed Hu Zier's carriage first.
Eight older girls have been transformed into coarse cloth clothes. Although he still looks very thin, he is still healthy after being examined by the medical center. This made Poplar feel very relieved. Eight girls stand in a row in front of Poplar. Only here did they learn that Poplar was their future master. I can't help but beat a little drum in my heart, I don't know what this good-looking boy is going to ask them to do? The two who dared to speak just now had already lost their bodies, and they were even more afraid to die.
"Don't be afraid, my son called you here to make you a female worker. My son has a dim sum shop to expand the store, and you guys are here to help me make dim sum. Put away all the ideas that you have and don't. This is the beginning of your new life. If anyone is afraid of hardship, this son will send her back to beg. What this son did for you today is even the fate of our acquaintance. Those who are willing to stay and work will do it. Stealing and playing tricks, betraying the master. Ben Gongzi will tell her to disappear in an instant like that pot of flowers. After speaking, the poplar waved his hand, and on both sides of the bluestone paved path, a pot of chrysanthemums that were still in full bloom suddenly withered and died. The eight girls saw only a puff of white smoke popping out of Poplar's fingertips. The delicate chrysanthemum turned into a slag covered in dirt.
The eight girls were frightened, would such a master dare to follow? Poplar didn't go on. This was something she expected, although the eight of them were only responsible for making snacks for now, and they would inevitably participate in their own affairs in the future. She didn't want to be outside against a strong enemy and guard against the thieves behind her.
After waiting for a while and seeing that the eight girls did not speak, Poplar continued.
"If you don't express your position, my son will think that you are all willing to stay. If you still have hesitation in your heart, you can stand behind Ben Gongzi. The immovable place is now giving you a name. After Bai Yang finished speaking, the eight girls did not move their feet, although they still had a scared expression on their faces. The aspen did not grind either, and gave them names in turn.
"Apples, peaches, white pears, lychees, bananas, oranges, oranges, grapes." As soon as Poplar's voice fell, the eight girls all laughed. Some laugh implicitly, and some laugh boldly.
"Master, these are the names of fruits." It was the girl who dared to speak the most laughed.
"Don't like it? Fruit is the most nourishing thing. At the beginning, it is a delicate flower, and then it bears fruit, how many winds and rains do it have to go through? When there is life, dot nature. Away from the tree, it is a favorite food for people. I want you to be both likable and have your own essence. All of them live like flowers. ”
"Master, Momoko likes the name." The second girl who dared to speak also said with a smile, she was smiling very boldly just now. The rest of the girls were not so frightened, and whispered the name given by Poplar.
"Very good, for the time being, Apple will bring three people to be responsible for frying the dim sum. Peaches takes three people to take care of steaming the dim sum . The follow-up changes will be made later, and this courtyard will be where you live in the future. The two of you will discuss apples and peaches, and set aside a place for you all to live and pack them up first. Tomorrow my son will come and clean up the dim sum workshop with you. ”
"Master, we don't know how to make snacks." The one who asked was a little girl named Bai Li. The imperceptible smile on her lips just now shows that she is a person with a delicate mind and no emotions exposed.
"I can't learn it, I'll teach you how to make dim sum starting tomorrow. Now clean up the house and sleep, this son doesn't like lazy people. After saying that, Poplar turned around and left the small courtyard.
Got into the carriage of the bearded one, turned two streets and arrived at the new home that the King of Joy had prepared for himself. It is four times the size of the original small courtyard. The front and back are divided into three small courtyards, the yards are covered with yards, and the houses are stacked on top of each other. It's really a good place to retreat in hiding.
"Sister, is it settled over there? Such a big place, only the three of us lived. It's quiet and scary. Xiao Qiang took Xiao Rou's hand with one hand and Hu Zier's hand with the other hand and waited inside the door. When he saw Poplar, he pounced and said. Then there were the four little girls who were not yet ten years old.
"What are you afraid of? In the future, there will be housekeepers and mothers-in-law doing rough work in this front yard. Your brother and sister live in the middle of the courtyard. We're guarding the backyard for you, don't you believe Uncle Beard? Hu Zier said helplessly. Apparently he'd said that many times.
"Sister, will we really raise so many people in the future?" Xiao Rou asked uncertainly.
"Of course, in the future, when the shop expands, you will make more money. My sister promised you that she would take you to live a good life. Be a real young lady. Poplar comforted the two children.
The girls who were less than ten years old standing behind all looked frightened. Compared to the group called Hanako, in the face of the noble son, the unimaginably large courtyard. In their young hearts, there is nothing but fear or fear.
