Chapter Seventy-Eight: Twins
Chu Yuqin finally settled on fifteen nursing homes, eight maid rings, six women, and a scholar.
Four of the women were family members of the nursery, and the scholar was also the son of one of them.
Two of the eight maid rings are the younger sisters or sisters of the nursing home, and the others are specially selected to take care of the sundries at home.
Ling Shengyi only needed fifteen nursing homes, five mothers-in-law, and five male servants.
It can be said that there is not a single young girl.
Because the two of them wanted a relatively large amount, Chen Yaren directly sent a car to send people to their homes.
In addition, all the servants are registered. From now on, these servants are their people, and they must not disobey their masters.
The twin brother's surname is Zhu, the elder brother's name is Zhu Han, and the younger brother's name is Zhu Qian. Several other people with the same surname are their brothers' brothers, and their relationship is close and strange.
The reason for their sale is stated on their deed of sale.
In the final analysis, it is a victim of the struggle for power.
The Zhu family is only a royal pharmacist, responsible for the supply of medicinal materials, and cooperates with the Tai Hospital.
A nobleman in the palace died in childbirth because the medicinal herbs were not authentic. The emperor was angry and directly exterminated the entire Zhu family.
Chu Yuqin looked at Zhu Han and Zhu Qian. The elder brother is calm, the younger brother is arrogant, and the temperaments of the two are very different.
"Master Ling, I'll rent an ox cart and go back. I won't bother you. ”
"No, you don't."
Ling Shengyi looked at the sky.
"Look at this day, I'm afraid it's going to rain. I'll go back with you! ”
"Is that good? Zheng Gongzi is afraid that he is still waiting for you. ”
"It doesn't matter. Just send someone to deliver a letter. ”
Ling Shengyi beckoned to the little beggar next to him.
The little beggar looked around, saw no one else, and ran quickly.
"Childe, what do you command?"
"This is ten cents, help me send a message to the Zheng Mansion, just say that there is a son surnamed Ling who can't come for a while, and he will invite Zheng Gongzi to tea another day."
"Okay."
The little beggar ran away with ten cents.
Chu Yuqin watched the little beggar run away like a monkey, and said to Ling Shengyi: "Aren't you afraid that he will only take money and not do anything?" ”
"No, it won't. Beggars have beggar rules. In addition to begging, they also have to take on any errands. They know how to survive. ”
"Ling Gongzi seems to know everything. I've been up and down this street countless times and haven't noticed it. ”
"If you want to ask for any news, you can also ask them. Beggars are everywhere, they are like invisible nets, involving a lot. ”
Chu Yuqin was thoughtful.
"Miss Chu, since you came to the city, is there anything you need to add?"
"If Ling Gongzi doesn't bother, please send me to the grocery store, the butcher's shop, and the rice shop. I do have a lot to add. ”
"Zheng Lao ......"
"The old slave knows."
Chu Yuqin took the Ling family's carriage to these shops to buy a large number of ingredients.
Because there is too much demand, the store delivers directly to the door. In addition, she bought two more carriages and let the wagon sellers drive directly to the village.
Whatever Chu Yuqin buys, the Ling family also buys.
After all, there were dozens of new servants, and there were too many things to eat, wear, and things to buy.
"Master Ling, this bookstore is newly opened, right? I didn't seem to have seen this bookstore last time. ”
Ling Shengyi lifted the curtain and looked outside.
"Well, it used to be a brewery."
"I want to see if they have any books for my little brother to read. Master Ling knows about my little brother's situation, can you help me come up with an idea? ”
"Of course."
When the bookstore owner saw the two of them come in, he greeted them warmly.
"Childe, girl, what books do you need? We are a new store, the price is cheap, and we make a lot of money at a loss. ”
"The boss said this, if you don't buy something, won't you live up to the boss's shouting?"
Chu Yuqin went to the bookshelf and began to select books.
As a woman, of course, she was very interested in those scripts.
Ling Shengyi raised his eyebrows when he saw that she had picked a bunch of scripts, but he did not express his opinion.
He picked out a dozen books and put them on his desk.
The boss smiled from ear to ear.
You must know that there was no printing at this time, and all the books were handwritten and expensive.
"Master Ling, how is this? This one, and this one......"
In addition to the scripts, Chu Yuqin moved more than a dozen more esoteric books.
Looking at the person above, she already had a headache.
Fortunately, she didn't dress as a man, otherwise how would she live this day?
"I'm afraid Lihong can't understand this."
Ling Shengyi said.
"That ......"
Chu Yuqin was embarrassed.
"I've picked it out for him."
"I thought you were looking at this for yourself."
"I've already read the books here, and there's nothing I need."
Chu Yuqin looked at him with admiration.
"There are thousands of books here, if not thousands, and you've read them all. This is the king of low-key pretensions! ”
"Loading ...... What the? ”
"I mean, Master Ling is rich in five cars, and he is only eight buckets high."
The boss counted all the accounts and said, "A total of fifty-eight taels of silver." ”
"Five more pieces of fine paper."
Chu Yuqin walked in front, and Ling Shengyi followed behind.
The boss led the men to carry the things they had bought into the wagon.
"Wait a minute......"
Chu Yuqin grabbed Ling Shengyi and avoided it.
She hid behind the carriage and watched as several figures walked in front of her.
"Zining, the lotus girl has asked you a few times, and asked you to look for her for a long time. She wants you tight. Why have you been ignoring her lately? Is there anything else that is good? ”
"How so? It's just that my eldest brother has been in charge of it lately, and he comes to the academy every day to look for me. How dare I go out again? No, I came out today when I found the opportunity. ”
"Then you'll have to coax the lotus girl. Do you want to buy something? Women, as long as they have money, are they afraid that she will be angry? ”
"Say it again! Can't get used to it. The more you get used to it, the less presentable it becomes. ”
"I've heard that a wealthy businessman from other places has recently come to order the Lotus Girl's brand every day. If you can't coax her, she can follow someone else? ”
"Who dares to rob Lao Tzu's people? Lao Tzu destroyed him. The lotus flower is my bud, and I haven't been with anyone else yet! ”
After those people left, Chu Yuqin stood up straight.
Chu Zining......
Sure enough, it was the mud that was leaning up the wall.
Obviously there is no money, and they still pretend, which is even more disgusting than those college students who compare with others on the news.
He is a college student, and at best, he didn't even graduate from elementary school, so he began to spend time drinking with others.
Ling Shengyi coughed lightly.
Chu Yuqin looked at him suspiciously.
"Miss Chu, you have a lot of strength."
Chu Yuqin lowered his head and saw the hand that was holding him tightly, as if it was burned.
"I'm sorry, I was so nervous when I saw my uncle just now."
"That person is your uncle?"
"Yes. When we didn't separate, almost all the money I got back was spent on him. ”
Chu Yuqin sneered.
"The last time I went back, I didn't have any money. Now it's time to go on a big spree again. Presumably, our family's filial piety silver has fallen into his hands again. ”
