Chapter 709: Two Masters
709
Wei Yining had been in Mianzhou City for a few days, and after getting a little familiar with the situation in the city, she sold the horse she was riding.
Then I came to the tooth shop on three streets, where many people came in and out, all looking for work.
Wei Yining walked in and saw a fat woman sitting on the counter, with a pomegranate red dress stretched on her body, wearing a yellow coaxing gold jewelry, and even pressed a black camellia on her sideburns.
With a horizontal face, two stubby short eyebrows, big eyes and yellow eyes, he looked from head to foot when he saw a person coming in, like a butcher looking at an animal.
Wei Yining was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, dressed as a child of a poor family, and walked forward with a smile.
The woman pursed her lips and asked, "You're looking for a job too?" If you're as thin as you, how can any customer want you? ”
"I'm thin, but I'm smart." Wei Yining grinned and said, "It is said that Sanniangzi has no customers who can't find people here, let alone hired workers who can't find a job." That's why the villain came to you. ”
Wei Yining said and put a bag of dim sum on the counter: "The newly boiled water chestnut at the entrance of the street, the three ladies enjoy the face and taste it." ”
The fat woman was very greedy, although it was just a bag of water chestnuts, but it also made her look much more relaxed, and while peeling the water chestnuts, she said: "Now is different from the past, there are more people looking for work, and there are fewer hired workers, although I am capable, but I am not a fairy." What will you do? ”
"The villain can ride a horse, and he can write and calculate." Wei Yining said.
The fat woman couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and saw that although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he was clean and spoke smartly. He also said that he could ride a horse and write, and these two things were outstanding enough compared with ordinary people.
"I don't think you speak like a local, why did you come here?" The fat woman asked, chewing on the water chestnut.
"To tell the truth, the villain was originally a small servant in a big family in Baizhou. Then there was a plague there, and the master's house was ruined, and the villain was scattered. Originally, I was going to come here to seek refuge with relatives, but who wanted to stay at home but kept the door locked, and asked the neighbors only to say that they went out, and I don't know when they will come back. The entanglement on the villain's body was all spent, so he had to stay here. Wei Yining had already thought of a set of rhetoric.
"I see, do you want to do long or short work?" The fat woman asked again.
"Let's do a short job, half a year and a year." Wei Yining said.
"I have a few big families here who want to hire short-term workers, one is Su Yuanwai from Qingniu Street, and the other is Chen Yuanwai from Baima Lane. Where do you want to go? The fat woman opened a thick booklet beside her and read.
"Qingniu Street is quite close to my relative's house, so let's go there. Although his family is not there, the yard is still there, and he may come back when he will come. Su said kindly.
"That's it, you come over after noon, I'll take you over there to let the lord's house see, and if you like it, sign and draw to stay." The fat lady said very happily: "The salary, two and a half hangs a month, if you can do it for a long time, add some price to make it." ”
"Thank you Sanniang for making it happen, come back in the afternoon." After Wei Yining finished speaking, he went out.
The two people she followed were still in Mianzhou City, and Wei Yining decided to continue to follow. However, they are secretive and heavily defensive, making it difficult to get close. However, Wei Yining found that they often went in and out of some local families, and these families were considered wealthy in the local area.
So she thought of going to these people to work, waiting for an opportunity to find out.
After she left the dental shop, she found a small restaurant and had a simple lunch. I walked around the street again, and then returned to the tooth shop. The fat woman was still dressed in the morning, but when she went out, she had an oil-paper umbrella. At this time, the weather is hot, and the fat woman is afraid of the sun.
Wei Yining hurriedly took over the paper umbrella to support her, and the fat woman was very satisfied, and said, "You guy is really a wind lamp, and he will turn it around as soon as he flicks it." Any customer like you loves to use it, not like those dead wood head rammers, magnetic a pair of dead fish eyes can't see the work! ”
Wei Yining didn't say much, just laughed on the side.
When she arrived at Su Yuanwai's house on Qingniu Street, the fat woman was already sweating, so she drank two large bowls of tea before entering the door, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and began to introduce Wei Yining to the housekeeper in the house.
The housekeeper was not very optimistic about Wei Yining at first, but I heard that she could write, calculate, and ride a horse. I asked her to try it, and I thought it was pretty good, so I nodded and stayed.
Since then, Wei Yining has stayed in this house, and she has followed the housekeeper and does not need to do rough work.
Slowly, Wei Yining found that the lord in this mansion would close the door every fifteenth day of the new year, and no one was allowed to enter, making it mysterious.
But she never inquired, which pleased the butler.
One day, two guests came to the house, and they were the two people who had followed him all the way here.
Su Yuanwai regarded these two people as distinguished guests, and specially prepared wine and food for hospitality.
Wei Yining heard from the official family that it was not the first time that these two people had come to the Su family, and said that it was difficult to invite these two people.
"These two big masters are officials, right?" Wei Yining deliberately asked, "Otherwise, how could it be so difficult to invite." ”
"They're not mixed officialdom. It's just that the people in the officialdom want to stammer, and they can't stammer. The butler said, "People are high-ranking people in the world, and it is easy not to make friends with mortals. ”
"Could it be that they are immortals?" Wei Yining smiled: "Then why didn't you see them soaring through the clouds?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense," the butler glared at her and said, "If you really have a spell, you can't easily let people see it, but the staff can say that these two people are very profound, and they used illusions at the banquet last time, so that the staff went to Penglai Immortal Island." Since then, the staff has been thinking about it, but these two masters and dragons have not seen the end, and it took more than half a year before they came here again. ”
Wei Yining nodded in admiration on the surface when he heard it, but he didn't think so in his heart. Many charlatans will use some tricks to deceive people.
It seems that these two people must have deceived a lot of people in this city, and Su Yuanwai is just one of them.
"These two have arrived, and they won't go out all day, so you can follow me to the Grange." The housekeeper said, "It's time to harvest the rice, I have to go and see it." ”
Wei Yining didn't want to lose today's opportunity, so he said, "Didn't you still ask me to settle the accounts in the accounting room?" I see that the gentleman from before me is a little unsure, and I want to check the account books quickly. If you give him a free time, I'm afraid he will do something. ”
"That's right, then you can stay at home! I'll call someone else to come with me. The housekeeper listened to Wei Yining's words and did not doubt it at all.
These days she is by the butler's side, diligent and loyal, and the butler is already very relieved of her.
