Chapter 23: The Creditor Comes to the Door 2
Poplar listened suspiciously as the carriage around the corner left, and then returned to the courtyard.
"Big brother, shouldn't you be the abandoned young lady in the White Mansion? I remembered that the mother-in-law was the backyard housekeeper of the White Mansion. Last time we saw her at the dim sum shop in the inner city. Big brother, let me tell you, the housekeepers in the backyard are all dogs of genuine wives, and they specialize in helping to do bad things, especially the foreign surname Wang Baifu, don't believe her nonsense. As soon as Poplar entered the house, Xiaoqiang hurriedly said.
"Who am I your eldest brother, my eyelashes are all wisdom, and I didn't even open the door without looking at me. Still listening to the corner inside. ”
"Big brother, no wonder you ran and walked in the gate and stomped your feet, it turned out that the people outside thought that you had entered the house, and they could talk casually. Big brother, you are so shrewd, when can I become the same as big brother. ”
"That's not a change, it's hard work and perseverance. Okay, just make a dim sum and make a show, rest early, and continue to practice tomorrow morning. ”
"Big brother, what did they say?"
"Trick me into getting out ......"
In the palace of the King of Freedom, the guards are also reporting on the affairs of the Poplar siblings.
"Lord Wang, Bai Fuping's wife went to their house, but the white girl didn't open the door, and said a few words through the door. We didn't have the ears of the bearded brothers, and we didn't hear anything useful. ”
"It's okay, this king doesn't want to snoop on the secrets of the girl's house. It seems that our speculation is correct, she is the girl abandoned by Baifu more than ten years ago. ”
Lord Wang, that girl should be eighteen or nineteen years old. The woman of the Liu family is really ruthless, how did this girl survive. ”
"There is no such thing as the White King, and the child is also his. And the man of the Liu family is not a good bird, when he first fell in love with other girls, he swore an alliance, but he didn't expect to be discovered by his eldest wife in a blink of an eye, and he was beaten to death, and his son, who was only a few years old, didn't dare to stay, which was really embarrassing to the man. A few guards said, from Baifu to Liufu. In fact, Baifu and Liufu are really related. Baifu's flat wife, Liu Yue, is the girl who married in Liufu. is Bai Yang's mother-in-law, and Bai Yang's uncle is Xiaoqiang's father. Back then, Baiyang's uncle was outside and looked at Xiao Qiangniang, who had fled. bought a yard without a matchmaker and lived secretly, and gave birth to a son who was Liu Qiang. In the end, it was still eternally separated from heaven and man, and the poor Liu Qiang almost froze and starved to death on the street.
"There are more such things in the capital, and the mother concubine was willing to bow her head and give up the king, maybe she won't be killed." The King of Joy said in a very bad mood.
"Lord Wang, what eyebrows did you find?"
"Yes, there are only a few witnesses. Don't get involved in this matter, you are the king's last hole cards. Good iron should be used on the blade, and if you want to live safely in the royal family, it is a road full of thorns and hardships. For more than ten years, with your company and protection, this king can live really freely. ”
"The prince is wise and martial, we will always follow the prince, and we will not hesitate to go to heaven and earth."
"It's just that I've wronged you, Akari is just the most ordinary guard in the palace, and there is no name even recorded in the royal family. That's the end of the career. ”
"Lord Wang, this is very good. High-ranking officials are far less than the ordinary life that the prince gave us. ”
"Lord Wang, there's new news outside the city." The old butler reported in the courtyard.
"Come in and talk about it." As the prince spoke, several guards bypassed the screen and secretly left the study.
“…… Well, gather a few people on the tenth and secretly go out of the city after dispersing.
The sign of Yang Liushan's shop is embroidered with a light red silk cloth cloth, which glows with a touch of sugar against the background of the morning sun, which attracts appetite when you look at it. When the three poplar brothers came over with a small cart, there were already people waiting outside the shop.
"Eldest son, recruit more people, it's really not too late." A mother-in-law said.
"What do you know, this is an ancestral craft, what if someone learns it, isn't it?"
"Uncles and aunts, it's not because of this that the business has only been done for a short time, and the capital has not been earned back. Later, when our brother made money, it was certain to expand the scale. Poplar laughed.
"Well, what the eldest prince said is such a reason, you have just come here, and you have settled down and started a business, and you can't do it without a little family background. If you want to eat snacks, come early, and if you don't have them, you can go to other shops to buy them, and there is no difference between high and low without comparison. Eldest son, the old man came from the inner city early, in case you get up late one day, you have to leave me two catties of snacks. ”
"Zhang Caimai, it seems that you are the only one from the inner city, and we have been waiting here for a long time. We need a lot, there is always a first-come, first-come Mrs. Zhai got off the carriage and said. Bai Yang, who had just walked into the shop, paused, and was ready to do business without looking back.
"Big brother, that mother-in-law is here, you should sell it today, I'm afraid there won't be enough dim sum to sell." Xiaoqiang said to Poplar smartly.
"No, as usual, aren't you worried that Dasha won't show up for a few days, let's go to the beggar's market in the inner city after collecting the shop."
"Big brother, really, maybe there's nothing going on, it's just that we're just worried." Xiao Rou also stood in her place, had already prepared the oil paper, and waited for Xiao Qiang to finish weighing the snacks and take them away.
The people outside walked into the shop, and the three brothers didn't talk about anything, and concentrated on business. The dim sum was bought one by one, and it was finally Mrs. Zhai's turn. Mrs. Ping got out of the carriage and approached the shop, staring at the poplar with her eyes dead, and the poplar looked like usual in the back to put all kinds of snacks on the counter, and occasionally helped Xiaoqiang weigh a few times, which was also convenient to replenish the supply and ensure the complete variety.
"Eldest son, we are the ones who ordered snacks with you yesterday, so we can discuss it if we don't have that much." Mrs. Ping Liu Yue looked at Poplar and said.
"This lady, you have also seen, the dim sum in the shop is only enough to sell for half a day, and they are all old customers. You want so much at once, the three of us brothers really can't do it. You'd better go to the big shop and have a look. Poplar said indifferently, looking at the eight points like Liu Yue on his eyebrows. Mrs. Ping, Liu Yue, was sure that this was the daughter she had discarded.
"Master Bai, dim sum is very easy to store, and it's okay to divide it into several times, why don't we discuss it in private?" Mrs. Zhai lowered her figure and whispered, Mrs. Ping's eyes have been given several times, and Mrs. Zhai is afraid.
"No matter how you discuss, our brother only has six hands, and he really can't do it. Madame, you better go back. Xiaoqiang's tone is not very good.
"We're discussing with your eldest brother, what's the matter with you children, weigh your snacks, don't give less weight." Mrs. Ping Liu Yue was disdainful.
"This noble lady, giving more and less is a matter in our shop, what does it have to do with you. If you're happy, we'll try it for free, but if you want to buy it, we're not happy to sell it. After wrapping a snack, Xiaorou took it and saluted back.
"Oh, it's really well-educated, adults and children interject casually." Zhai Po sub-interface reprimanded.
"Mother-in-law said cautiously, our father and mother died, and they abandoned us if they didn't die, because of their lack of upbringing, but you are not qualified to say it. Have the kindness to go back and raise your own children. Poplar protected the two children mercilessly.
"Yang'er, you are Yang'er." Looking at the scene of more than ten years ago in front of Bai Yang Liuyue's eyes, mother, when will you take me home? Eight or nine-year-old Bai Yang coincided with the poplar in front of her, and she couldn't help but shout.
"Madam, we don't know each other that well, it's better to call me eldest son." Poplar's cold words shattered Liu Yue's recollection. The scene was cold all of a sudden, and the group of customers in the morning rush hour in the shop also finished greeting. After a moment of relaxation, the three brothers were ready to have breakfast. At this moment, the people from Yunfu came. There were seven or eight big men, all of whom looked at Poplar fiercely.
