Chapter 178: The Way
The courtyard is large and chaotic, and there are only two wells at the entrance, and it is difficult to use water far from the well, especially in the women's courtyard.
Those who have husbands who are also doing things in the house are asked to carry them, and those who are young and beautiful will coax those young and powerful little guys to carry them, and those who are not good at looking in the house and have no familiar and good little guys can only carry water little by little.
As soon as the news of the water wheel pulling there came out, almost the entire women's hospital was boiling. With the water wheel, not only do they no longer have to beg for coaxing, but they also don't have to worry about the water if they want to take a bath in the future. It's only two pennies a time, in their opinion, how much is that? The master gave a reward, and it was all divided into two, and one tael of silver was enough to last for several years.
What I didn't expect was that on this day, the waterwheel didn't even return to the small courtyard, and she just poured money from this hand to that hand, and she just collected the money on the side. At the end of the day, I made a lot of money, and when I counted it, there were fifty or sixty yuan. It's just that Yifang is tired, obviously the car is theirs, but he has to manpower to carry water. No way, the car is so sought-after that you can't even touch it. It wasn't until it got dark that the car was sent back.
Cherry had already prepared a table of decent meals, white bread, side dishes, meat dishes, soup, and set a table.
"Guess how much you've earned today?" Cherry was a little excited: "More than fifty Wen!" In this way, we will no longer have to worry about eating and drinking, and we will no longer have to go to the next door to risk picking fruits. ”
"A good thing is a good thing. It's just that this 'business' is too good, I didn't even use a cart, and I still brought back buckets of water today. I thought that I could save money with a small car, but this time it was good, and I didn't use it at all. "Yifang is a little depressed.
"Look at you, isn't that upset?" Cherry picked up the chopsticks and bowl, set some aside for Shunyi, and buckled it on the plate. Then he picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into Yifang's hand: "Eat first, talk while eating." ”
Unhappy is unhappy, after all, it has been a long time since he had eaten a decent meal, Yifang took the chopsticks and ate unceremoniously: "Speaking of which, the first decent meal you have in the house was earned by yourself." Uncle Yi and I also had no light on their faces. ”
"What's that? It's good to be able to eat it. Yifang, don't mind the car, catch up with Ming'er, you go and beg the carpenter, ask for two wheels, let's make another one. Later, one of the two cars was rented to outsiders, and one was kept for his own use. Is that okay? ”
"Okay," Yifang grinned happily.
This kid is quite small-minded. Cherry shook her head helplessly, concentrating on the food on the table. She hadn't eaten in a few days. Now that you have money in hand, you can start moving slowly. If you want to help Li Muze, it is not possible to stay in this lower courtyard all day long.
If you guess that the final boss behind the scenes of the smuggler of iron should be the eldest prince or the second prince in the palace, then everything will be targeted. If you want to get close to these two people, the best person is undoubtedly the person who will be there for them. And the best way to get close to those big guys is to stay in this lower courtyard all day long, and serve the rough servants of those big guys.
Most of those people lived in a small courtyard not far from the courtyard gate, and if they wanted to get close, only silver could make them move.
If you want to eat and move, where can you get less money?
Early the next morning, Cherry got up early to continue her 'water truck rental' business.
The first one to come was Shunping's rough envoy Pingde. Pingde is fifteen this year, long Si Swenwen, clear and beautiful, at first glance, I thought it was a child of a scholar, where would I think it was a slave?
"Yixi, I'll borrow the car." Pingde smiled, nodded at Yifang again, and took out two pennies.
"Why are you so polite? How can you be like everyone else? Come on, come on, make it for free, you can do it as much as you want. Cherry smiled, enthusiastically pushed the money back, and stuffed the car over: "Take it quickly." You and Yifang are so good on weekdays, then our relationship will be good in the future, don't be rusty. ”
"This ......" Pinde was a little embarrassed: "Where did you make it?" ”
"Why not? Take it quickly. Just don't let anyone know that I'm confiscating your money. Cherry's face turned and she looked bitter: "Actually, we can't do anything about collecting money, we can't eat it now, so we have to make this decision." ”
"That's, that's." Pingde nodded again and again, as if he suddenly found something, pulled Cherry's arm and looked at it carefully, and said, "Look, how did you scratch a hole in your new clothes?" Come, take it off quickly, and ask me to make it up for you. ”
"What's the use? I'll just make it up myself. Cherry waved.
"Come on! You say, don't be polite to me. Pingde's fingers were slender and neat, like a man's hand, but like a dexterous woman's hand, and he peeled off the cherry's coat in two or three strokes and put it on his arm: "When I come back to the car later, I will give you the clothes together." With that, he dragged the waterwheel away.
"I don't know what you're thinking all day." Yifang shook his head, he didn't understand why Cherry didn't take Pingde's money. They weren't very good with Pinde. However, Pingde's female popularity is quite powerful, and it is rare that he is willing to mend Yixi's clothes.
"What else can you think? I just want him to help mend my clothes. In fact, she really didn't know about the Pingde Society's female popularity, so she just pushed the boat down the river to prevaricate. The reason why she is so enthusiastic is only because she just found out that Pingde and Yuhuai in Mo Yu Courtyard are brothers.
Mo Yu is the eldest brother of the second son, Zhou Mingyuan, if he can have a relationship with Yuhuai, then it is equivalent to knowing the things around the second son. And the eldest son, the coarseness of Mo Qian, the big guy next to him, and the little guy Qian have such a good relationship with Yifang, you can use it directly.
Pinder quickly sent the car back, along with Cherry's clothes. The patch is neat and tidy, and if you don't look closely, you will never see that it has ever been scratched. It's a good hand.
Cherry and enthusiastically stayed in the courtyard for a while before he was willing to let people go.
"He is the rough envoy of Mo Yu's big house, and Mo Yu is the second son. In this mansion, the most statusless and mediocre is the second son. is not motivated, talentless and incompetent, and even the county lord is more favored than him. It's of no use for you to win over Pinde. "Even Yifang knows this truth.
"I know. It's just that he has superb skills as a female celebrity, and if he is wooed, it will naturally be beneficial. Otherwise, in the future, we will have a needle and thread work, will you do it or will I do it? "Pingde's female red has become the best excuse in Cherry's mouth.
Yifang also had nothing to say: "That's right." ”
The people who wanted to use the car had just left Pingde, and they lined up. Cherry didn't have time to think about anything else, and went about her business again. The first one to make the car was the blue red in the women's courtyard next door.
As mentioned earlier, Bihong is the rough maid ring around Qing Rong, and Qing Rong and Shunyi have never dealt with each other, that is, because of Qing Rong, there is a matter of the second housekeeper adjusting the yard and deducting the degree.
It is said that Bihong wants to use the car, even if she doesn't make this money, Cherry doesn't want to call her a messenger.
However, Yifang was afraid that something would happen, and he was afraid that the second housekeeper would get angry and deduct the next month's expenses, so he forced this matter down and lent the car out.
But I borrowed it at noon, and I didn't return it until it was almost late afternoon.
Generally, the car can be returned in half an hour. Even if the water you eat and the vegetables you take a bath are enough. Bihong and the three women don't need much water, why haven't they been sent back to the car for so long?
Seeing that it was about to get dark, the people waiting in line behind were all jumping in a hurry, and Cherry had to go to the next yard to urge.
When I arrived at the women's hospital, I saw a large stall of water stains next to the well, and traces of water that had just been mentioned.
She only recognized Bihong's appearance, but she didn't know which courtyard she lived in. Cherry was looking at the small courtyards and secretly guessed in her heart that an unknown girl pulled a car out of a small courtyard, and an empty bucket was placed on the car, obviously to pull water.
"This sister" Cherry hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "Sister, is this a car borrowed by Sister Bihong?" Although she has a scar on her face, it does not affect the handsomeness of her men's clothes, but adds a bit of a man's taste, coupled with her sweet smile, which makes people happy in their hearts.
The one who is called 'sister' is called Ruyi.
In this palace, because of the jealousy of the princess, in addition to the concubines who have been unfavored for two or three years, there is only one concubine who was raised by the princess's dowry maid in the past, and she also gave birth to a daughter. The name of this concubine is Pei Ting. Because she was born as a wedding girl, although she has now become a concubine, there are only two big girl rings serving her, which are these two big girl rings, and the preparation is also lower than the other big girl rings. The big girl ring in the palace is a big girl ring with two rough girl rings. The two big girls around Pei Ting are two people with a rough maid ring.
This rough maid ring is Ruyi.
She looks mediocre, but her expression is extremely soft and peaceful, and her smile is also very friendly: "You are the new Yixi in Uncle Yi's courtyard, right?" As he spoke, he gently pushed the car in his hand: "This is given by Bihong, she only said that she asked me to use it, but she borrowed it?" ”
Excessively. Although there is no explicit provision, in the entire lower courtyard, almost all the people who use the car have reached a consensus, and generally it will not be used for more than half an hour. This Bihong is good, obviously she has already used it up, but she didn't return it, so she pretended to be a good person and lent it to others. How big is the whole women's hospital, how many people are drinking water, no wonder it hasn't been used up in an afternoon.
Cherry tugged at her mouth, and a string of fire rose in her stomach.
"Yo, isn't this Yixi? Why, after only using your car for a short while, I couldn't help but rush to the door? Coincidentally, Bihong came out of her courtyard, and when she saw the cherry, she said in an unceremonious tone.
