Chapter 33: Qingyun Immortal Sect

The foreign caravans sold a lot of things, most of which were supplies that Qingshan Town lacked, such as salt, spices, mud bowls, fruits and vegetables, etc.

Of course, while these foreign caravans were selling supplies, they were also buying surplus materials from Qingshan Town, especially some local products from Qingshan Town, and they would sell these local products to other places, such as Ju'an City.

Xiaoyu saw that there was a stall with a lot of demon masks under the big purple pine, so she pulled the poplar and ran over excitedly.

Seeing that Xiaoyu actually liked this kind of mask toy, which made Bai Yang speechless, but when he followed the other party to the stall with a helpless face, he suddenly pricked up his ears.

It turned out that the owner of this stall was chatting with the owner of an alien fruit seller on the side, and the content of their conversation was the same wave of Qilin Pavilion disciples he met in the hotel at noon.

"Old Li Tou, are you strange or not, is there really any immortal treasure on this Qingfeng Mountain, why are there so many sect disciples running to such a remote place during this time, some time ago I was a disciple of the Hengyue faction, and today I saw the disciple of Qilin Pavilion in the restaurant again?"

"Lao Yang, you are a little lonely, haha, haven't you heard of a legend that once circulated in this Qingshan Town, it is said that more than five hundred years ago, this Qingshan Town was not called Qingshan Town, but Qingyun Town."

"Qingyun Town? Is there any explanation for this? Lao Yang asked puzzled.

"Of course, do you see that peak?" Old man Li pointed to a towering mountain peak not far away and asked with a smile.

"You're talking about Mt. Aomine?" Lao Yang became more and more curious.

Old man Li nodded and said: "It is said that a long time ago there was an immortal sect on this mountain, called Qingyun Sect, as the so-called immortal spirit, at that time, many people rushed here in order to learn the arts, and over time a prosperous town was formed in this valley, because at that time, the immortals on Qingfeng Mountain often came to the town to collect apprentices, so this town was named Qingyun Town by the people at that time. ”

"Oh, then why did this Qingyun Town suddenly change its name to Qingshan Town?" Lao Yang asked curiously.

I don't know if it's because the old man Li saw a guest coming, so he just said casually: "How do I know, I also listened to the old man in the town, okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to do business." He put the old Yang aside, and greeted Bai Yang and Xiaoyu who were walking towards him with a smile.

Although the old Li Tou did not continue to talk because of the arrival of the two of them, it obviously aroused Bai Yang's interest.

Originally, he didn't care what Qi Wenfei and the others were doing in this remote town, but when combined with Old Man Li's words, he really wanted to explore the secret of Qingfeng Mountain.

Who doesn't want to become an immortal and gain the Tao, Baiyang naturally hopes that one day he can have the strength to turn the clouds and rain, only then can he control his own destiny and not be at the mercy of fate.

In the past, he didn't have this strength and opportunity, but now that the opportunity is likely to be in front of him, how can he give up this opportunity in vain?

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was beaten and scolded by his father and kicked out of the house because he didn't study well, the picture of his mother being beaten by his drunken father, the scene when his father stole his mother's hard-earned savings and lost all his money, and the family had no rice to boil, and remembered that his mother secretly escaped from his hometown with him to Hangzhou to work and suffered all kinds of cold words, and recalled the memory of the middle-aged man who let him get out of the way some time ago, all of which made him feel painful and deeply uneasy.

"I must make myself strong as soon as possible, whether it is for my mother or for my future." Poplar looked at the towering mountain peak and made a vow in his heart.

Xiaoyu is full of interest in these masks of demons and monsters, sometimes wearing this mask, sometimes wearing that mask, and even wants to put a mask on Poplar, and the laughter like silver bells resounded in this Omatsu City.

These masks are made of a special type of plaster, which is flexible and cool on the face without making people feel particularly stiff.

"Boss, how do you sell these masks?" Poplar asked.

"Five copper coins each." Old Li Tou said with a grin.

It's really not expensive, seeing that Xiaoyu likes it so much, he simply packed all the masks hanging on the board car and took them away, and there were less than one or two silver tickets in total.

Of course, the mask in Lao Li Tou's hand must be more than that, the mask hanging on the board car belongs to different types of masks, and there are several sacks on the board car.

Seeing that Poplar bought so much at once, the surrounding merchants were very envious of Lao Litou's luck and congratulated him one after another.

After Poplar bought a mask for Xiaoyu, he took her to other stalls to browse, and it didn't take long for him to have a lot of stuff in his hands, and he felt that both hands were a little insufficient.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhao He had already chosen someone and walked over with six unkempt men and women.

"You two get something for the master's house." Zhao He said to the two middle-aged women beside him.

After hearing this, the two middle-aged women hurriedly walked up to Bai Yang and diligently took the things in his hand.

Bai Yang didn't refuse, someone helped him with that thing, which made him greatly relieved, and he became more and more satisfied with Zhao He, the housekeeper.

Later, Zhao He took two helpers to buy some cleaning utensils and kitchen supplies in Dasong City, during which Bai Yang directly gave him a hundred taels of silver tickets for him to withdraw at will, because there were too many things to buy, and those merchants enthusiastically sent things directly to Bai Yang's house.

After returning to Zhangjiayuan, Zhao Hipa worked non-stop to arrange work for the helpers, four of whom were responsible for tidying up the main house, and two of them were responsible for cleaning the kitchen and bathing room.

After arranging the work, Zhao He returned to Bai Yang's side and reported to him the situation of the helpers: "Master's family, I plan to leave two of these six helpers behind, one of them is called Zhang's mother, who can cook good dishes, and the other is my clan, called Aunt Zhao, I think she is very caring, she can wash the clothes for the master's family, and clean the courtyard by the way." ”

"No problem, but I think it's still a little too big here, and it's still a little less for the five of us, so let's let the other four stay if they're also reliable and willing, by the way, how do they get paid?"

"Mother Zhang, I promised to give her a daily salary of 30 copper coins, Aunt Zhao and I promised to give her a daily salary of 20 copper coins, and the other four people promised to give them a daily salary of 25 copper coins each because they were all doing short-term work." Zhao He looked at Bai Yang with some apprehension, a little worried that he would not upset the lord's family by making such a self-righteous opinion.

Bai Yang thought for a while and said: "The salaries of Mother Zhang and Aunt Zhao have been raised to fifty copper coins per day, and if the other four are willing to stay, they will be settled according to the daily salary of thirty copper coins, and their work will be arranged by you in the future." ”

"This, the master, will it be too much?" Zhao He asked a little puzzled, after all, money does not fall from the sky, although he hopes that the master family can treat the next person preferentially, but if the master family gives an obviously unreasonable salary, he still feels that he should be reminded.

Bai Yang calculated carefully, if he was paid according to this daily salary, he would have to pay nearly 1,500 taels of silver tickets a year just for his labor salary, although he got nearly 30,000 taels of silver tickets and 5,000 taels of gold tickets from the Scarface Bandit, which was enough for Xiao Yu'an to live a stable life, but this also made him feel that money was really not allowed to be spent.

"No, I know, but I want these people to have clean hands and feet." It doesn't matter if you spend more money for Poplar, the most worrying thing is that the hands and feet of these people are not clean, otherwise as this mansion gradually gets on the right track, there are more and more things at home, and when the time comes, you will lose some of this today and lose some of that tomorrow, even if the family business is big, you can't bear it.

"Lord, please rest assured, the people selected by my Zhao He can't guarantee anything else, this can definitely be guaranteed, these people are very honest and responsible people." Zhao He patted his chest and reassured.

Bai Yang nodded, he naturally didn't believe in the so-called guarantee, but now it can only be like this, after all, he can't read minds, and he can't see how loyal a person is, so he can only choose to believe in others helplessly.

"By the way, if these people come here to work long hours, what about their families?" After thinking about this, Poplar couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry about the main family, we can let them go back every night, anyway, their home is also nearby, of course, if the main family agrees, in fact, you can take out the West Wing courtyard alone for the next person to live, and when the time comes, seal the courtyard door of the West Wing Courtyard and reopen a door on the outside, so that they can also take care of their families, and it is convenient to take care of them." Zhao He pointed to the courtyard in the direction of the corridor on the left side of the gate.

To be honest, there are countless small courtyards in this Zhangjia garden, and Baiyang has not counted how many small courtyards there are until now.

Anyway, it was just a small courtyard, which was not a big deal for him, so he nodded and said, "Well, this idea is good, let's separate this small courtyard when the time comes." ”

After Baiyang's side was fine, Zhao He also went to the main house to follow those helpers to clean the wings and courtyards of the main house, of course, there was also the meaning of cash supervision, at least he thought so.

Originally, Baiyang and Xiaoyu also wanted to join the cleaning team, but they were stopped by Zhao He, there was no way, the master could only be the master, otherwise he would be mixed with the subordinates every day, where would there be any majesty in the eyes of the subordinates.

The main house is located in the center of the whole mansion, and it is also the largest courtyard in the whole mansion with the most wings, which is divided into the front hall and the back hall.

The front hall is located in the courtyard in front of the gate, which is a special place for visitors.

In the middle of the front hall is a large airtight partition wall, behind which is a corridor leading to the wings on both sides.

Don't go to the cloister, go down the steps to the courtyard of the main house, there are rockeries, pavilions and water pavilions on the east side of the courtyard.

On the west side of the courtyard is a flower bed, but at the moment the flower bed is overgrown with various weeds, and the marble pavement is faintly visible among the weeds.

In the center of the courtyard was a flat field, flanked by rusty weapons and stone locks.

Across the courtyard is the back hall, which is larger and more elaborate than the front hall, and is a three-story wooden house with white bricks and black tiles.

The first floor of the back hall is where the main family eats, and on the right there is an arched round door leading to the kitchen.

The wooden ladder upstairs is located in the corridor leading to the backyard on the left side of the back hall, the second floor is the wing room and study of the main house, and the third floor does not have any partition wall, an empty place, which is the place where the main family overlooks from a high distance.

Standing here can make people's eyes suddenly open, although you can't have a bird's-eye view of Qingshan Town like the ruined temple halfway up the mountain, but you can barely see most of the buildings in Qingshan Town, and the view is much better than other places.
