Ma, who had just won the quarrel, was in a good mood, so he told Aunt He what happened, "The son of Anton's family got into trouble and discounted the leg of the cousin's brother-in-law of the uncle's cousin of the county concubine. ”

"Ouch, this son is really a loser, he tossed a shop well." Aunt He couldn't help sighing, and glanced at Ma again, "I said that this time you may enjoy two days of pure happiness, and you don't have to be tired here every day." ”

Ma pouted, "I'd rather be tired here, and if I don't get tired, I'll have to go home and eat bran vegetables." ”

"What? So your shop is quite profitable? Aunt He's eyes widened and she looked curious.

"Oh, isn't it just a mess of food!" Ma Shi realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he passed it with a haha.

Hua Ronghua listened to it on the sidelines, but he was a little tempted, although this shop is small, but it is on the main street, there is a lot of traffic, and the coolie people come and go, there are more ordinary people, it is a potential consumer group, thirty taels is not very expensive, but, what to do? And there is no helper, she doesn't think that Mrs. Lu will be kind enough to come over to help her run the business.

After eating the buns, Hua Ronghua wanted to continue to take a few people to wander around the street, but just after walking a short distance, she found that a little guy was taking two servants with a piece of paper to ask the vendor next to him about something, and the little guy she recognized was following behind the madman that day.

"Let's go home." Hua Ronghua was in no mood, but his heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out, that little guy was not looking for himself!

"Ah, lady, are you going home?" Aunt He didn't want to go back, it was still early.

"Go back!" Hua Ronghua was in no mood to explain to her.

Lu Yuanniang didn't show her displeasure, but followed her mother quietly.

Aunt He thought of something again, "Lady go to the butcher shop in front to cut a piece of meat, today I earned an extra tael of silver to buy some meat, which also makes the old lady and the old man happy!" ”

Hua Ronghua was stunned and almost sneered, why did she have to buy meat for the extra silver she earned, so that Mrs. Lu and Lu Wenping, two people who hated each other, were also happy?

Looking at Aunt He's natural look, she really didn't like it, the money she earned, how to spend it to whom it was her own power, and she didn't need others to point fingers.

And Hua Ronghua suddenly thought of one thing, if Father Hua no longer gives him ten taels of silver every month in the future, then will Aunt He's salary have to be paid by himself? It doesn't matter if you sit and eat by yourself, in addition to preventing Mrs. Lu from calculating, you also have to raise a helper?!

But if you don't use Aunt He, do the kitchen work yourself? Hehe, Hua Ronghua feels greasy and greasy when he thinks about it, not to mention that there is no range hood and no gas stove, and it is super troublesome to cook, not to mention, even if he cooks for Mrs. Lu and Jiang Lan, he will resolutely not do it!

It is impossible to ask Mrs. Lu to help pay for it, at most, Mrs. Lu dismissed Aunt He and then left all the work to herself, how can she keep Aunt He without having to pay her own salary? It's hard for her to earn it herself.

Hua Ronghua couldn't help but feel funny when she thought of this, why did she come to the Lu family to work if she could make money by herself? Make your own money?! Hua Ronghua's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of the soy milk shop just now, and a flash of inspiration occurred in her mind, perhaps, she thought of a way.

Mo An has been looking for Hua Ronghua almost crazy in the past few days, he has come to West Street almost every day to find people, but he has never encountered it again; I took the portrait painted by the master to ask.,It's basically a question and I don't know.,Occasionally I've seen it.,It's also the time when there was a conflict with the master.,No one has seen her before.,I don't know which lady she's from.。

If there is no result today, I will have to be kicked by my master when I go home. Mo An regretted it more than once in his heart, he knew that he should have let Mo Yan accompany his master back and report to Master Li by himself, then it was Mo Yan who came to find the woman at this time!

Mo An, who was feeling sorry for himself, suddenly saw Hua Ronghua and a few people walking forward with their backs to him, looking at the figure was somewhat similar, but it was much stronger than the woman, it was impossible to argue with the master because of a few eggs, Mo An took his eyes back and continued to search for traces of suspicious women on the street.

Until the market was dispersed, Mo An did not find any trace of Hua Ronghua, so he had to go back and ask his master for his guilt.

Gong Xichu was in the guest courtyard of the county government, wearing black obscene clothes, exposing half of his chest, lying on the rocking chair and squeaking, one leg on the armrest swaying at will, and gnawing an apple in his mouth, without even sweeping his eyes to Mo An, who was standing aside like a quail.

After gnawing on the apple, Gong Xichu directly threw the core at Mo An, "I can't even find a woman, do you say you're useless?!" ”

Mo An didn't dare to hide, only made a bitter face, "Yes, it's useless to be small." ”

Mo Yan came out of the house, holding a robe in his hand, "Lord, master, it's cold, it's cold." As he spoke, he put his robe on Gong Xichu's body.

"Do you think this Mo'an is useless?" Gong Xichu casually pulled off the placket of his shirt and continued to ask Mo Yan.

"No, it's useless!" Mo Yan nodded affirmatively.

"Mo Yan!" Mo An shouted angrily.

Gong Xichu casually pulled Mo An's placket, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an evil smile, "What? How dare you shout in front of me? ”

"Hehe, don't dare, don't dare!" Mo An was busy laughing.

"Young Master Chu." Steward Li stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted with a smile.

"Come in." When Gongxi Chu saw someone coming, he let go of Mo An, sat on the stone bench on the side, picked up the teapot from the stone table and drank it directly to his mouth.

The corners of Steward Li's mouth twitched, he had never seen such a noble son who did not pay attention to shape, he lowered his gaze and couldn't see it, walked to Gongxi Chu and stopped three steps, "Young Master Chu, my lord invites you to come over for dinner." ”

"Dinner, just send it over, and I won't go." Gongxi Chu didn't care much about the way.

"This, Master Chu, my family said that you will move out tomorrow, so I plan to practice it for you tonight......"

"Practice?" Gongxi Chu cut a sigh and asked rhetorically: "So I can leave Anping County?" ”

"Uh......" Steward Li choked, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Gongxi Chu didn't embarrass him, "Okay, you go back and talk to Li Wenhao, I'm very grateful to him for saving me from prison, and I won't leave Anping County without permission to embarrass him, but I don't want to be locked up in the county government without any freedom at all." As we originally agreed, I live in the house he found for me, and I will not leave Anping County without his permission! ”

"...... of Prince Chu"

"Okay, you go back and just say so, I still have to pack up the things I moved tomorrow, so I won't keep you." Gongxi Chu interrupted Li Guan's words.

There was no way, Steward Li could only go back and talk back to the county magistrate in despair. At the end, Steward Li said a little angrily: "He is too ignorant, if he didn't know what to do, if he didn't become a big person, he would have died in prison a long time ago!" But now he has no respect for adults at all. ”

Master Li is not as angry as the housekeeper, "He was originally such a character, inferior and proud. Also, in the future, you don't talk about him behind your back, if he hears about it, I can't save you, that is the master who even the emperor and grandson dare to fight! ”

"The little one knows." Thinking of the reason why Gongxi Chu was expelled from Beijing, Steward Li couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back.

"Tomorrow, you can find a few family members to help send Chu Gongzi's things over, as well as money, and my grandfather will also give him the things he will bring." Master Li commanded.

"Yes."

——

On the other side, Hua Ronghua returned to Lu's house without danger and breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't stop being happy in his heart, it seems that the little guy didn't recognize himself, and he should be fine as long as he wears a veil and is careful when he goes to West Street in the future.

After dinner, Hua Ronghua sat at the dinner table and said his thoughts.

"What? Are you going to buy a shop? Mrs. Lu was the first to call out, and the movement of picking vegetables in her hand was not slow at all, and she said inarticulately: "If you have money, don't spend it indiscriminately, save it directly to me, and I guarantee that there will be no penny." ”

Lu Wenping frowned, "What do you do when you buy a shop?" Did your father-in-law ask you to buy it? Although our Lu family is not a scholarly family, it is better to have less contact with business. ”

Hua Ronghua was stunned and didn't expect Lu Wenping to object, and after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved, ancient times are not like modern times, who opened a shop is a great thing, in ancient times, Shinong businessmen, businessmen and merchants were the most statusless and the most despised.

"Of course, it's to make money to supplement the family!" Hua Ronghua didn't want the money-making idea that he had finally come up with to die like this.

"Subsidize the family? How? Didn't I feed you? Lu Wenping faintly felt a little angry.

Jiang Lan got up and poured a glass of water and put it in Lu Wenping's hand, and persuaded: "Master has something to say, don't be angry." ”

Hua Ronghua rolled her eyes, Jiang Lan, who always showed affection, ignored her, and continued to say to Lu Wenping: "You can't earn four taels of silver every month, but in addition to eating and drinking every month, you have to pay Aunt He and Sister-in-law Fang another five hundred yuan per month......

"Didn't your Lu family pay their monthly money? At the beginning, you said that you couldn't do housework well and let Aunt He help, and your family would pay the monthly money. "Mrs. Lu remembers the money very clearly.

"Aunt He's monthly money is from the Hua family, but Sister-in-law Fang is not, Sister-in-law Fang is from the countryside, the monthly money is from you, 200 Wen per month, 2,400 Wen a year, plus Sister-in-law Fang is eating and living in the Lu family......"

"Huh? So much money? Mrs. Lu's face changed, she only cared about having servants at home who could make people look up, but she didn't count how much money she spent every year!

It's no wonder she didn't know that in the past, Sister-in-law Fang's monthly money was given by the original Hua Ronghua, but now when she heard that it was nearly two and a half halves of silver a year, plus food and housing, Mrs. Lu looked at Sister-in-law Fang unpleasantly.
