Chapter 158: Knowing Misfortune and Blessing (1)
Youping Town is just a border city that is not big or small, and most of the people who come and go are merchants, and it is a small city in transit between Chengdu and Vietnam.
This Wang Yuanwai is a trader who does some small business between Chengdu and Vietnam, no matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is also meat, even if the identity is not as high as those official eunuchs, but Wang Yuanwai is rich, and he is also a rich gentleman in this Youping Town.
Wang Yuanwai, who is only forty years old, now has a wife and a concubine in the house, and he bought his fame early, and he can be regarded as a romantic figure in Youping Town.
This king's philanthropic character has been called a great benevolent person in Youping Town.
This time, the government gave porridge and released grain, which was the figure of Wang Yuanwai, and the war between Chengdu and Vietnam brought a lot of losses to Wang Yuan's outer ear, but as long as the war subsided, if he took the big ship of the official government, he would still make a steady profit.
Liu Yunhua stood outside the courtyard of the palace and carefully looked at the courtyard.
Just now, I also inquired about some things about the Wang family with the people on the side, and Liu Yunhua casually made up some miserable stories, which won the sympathy of the people here. What happened to her made these people tell the truth about the Wang family.
Every year, the Wang family will recruit some people who wander or flee here to do some work for them in the Wang family temporarily, but there is no such treatment for the locals.
Probably said that a few years ago, I met an old man who came to touch porcelain, and then in previous years, he rarely hired local residents to do work in his house, of course, some short-term workers will still be recruited.
They don't have much opinion on not recruiting locals, after all, Wang Yuanwai's family donates money and materials every year, and they will send some food to the people around them during the New Year's holidays, and such good people are really nowhere to be found.
Liu Yunhua asked some more questions about the Wang family's livelihood, which stumped this crowd, some people said that this Wang Yuanwai was buying cloth business for big traders in the mainland, and some people said that this Wang Yuanwai was doing the jade business of Yue Kingdom, and so on.
It's just that Wang Yuanwai is just a small supplier, but I surprisingly agree.
"Girl, you are a foreigner who wants to do things in our Youping City, and Wang Yuanwai's house is the best choice."
"Yes, girl, after the royal staff arrives and your contract arrives, it will be sent to your former hometown safely."
"Is there such a thing?"
This is to say that Wang Yuanwai is really a good person, they saw a lot of strangers with the caravan of Wang Yuanwai, and when it was time to sell his body, he was sent away by Wang Yuanwai.
These people who lived near the palace knew this kind of thing, after all, they saw a fleet of cars, and those strangers who left happily.
"Could it be that there isn't a single foreigner who wants to stay here?"
"Hey girl, we all pay attention to returning to the roots, how can anyone really want to wander outside for a lifetime, it must be better to go home."
"These are all told us by the king, people, you must have a root, just like grass and trees, you can't live without roots."
"Is Wang Yuanwai a local?"
These people were asked again, these people said that Wang Yuanwai was a local person, and some people said that Wang Yuanwai was a person from a certain village outside Youping Town, anyway, they all said that Wang Yuanwai was a person from Youping Town.
Wang Yuan's foreign purchase of such a big family business was also ten years ago, probably said that he was making a fortune abroad, so he wanted to return to his hometown to benefit the people of a place.
Liu Yunhua inquired about the Wang family, and no one doubted it, after all, the Wang family was a shelter for outsiders, so as Liu Yunhua's identity as a foreigner, it was not abrupt, and even just right.
Even when Liu Yunhua didn't speak, the people in the vicinity strongly persuaded Liu Yunhua to go to the Wang family to be a maid, of course, some people saw Liu Yunhua's appearance out of kindness, and the Wang family was Liu Yunhua's best choice.
In the end, she went there and these people didn't care, after all, they themselves are living on help now, so they also have time to talk about useless nonsense.
Liu Yunhua said: "But I don't know how to get to the Wang family." ”
There was a middle-aged swarthy man who said, "The housekeeper of my family who knows the Wang family, why don't you let her go to the Wang family for you to ask?" ”
Liu Yunhua is a resignation, I didn't expect this honest man to jump out and take care of himself, it is really simple and simple.
Liu Yunhua asked some other things, and refused the swarthy man's kind words, of course, during the process, he also asked some things about the Ma family, but these people in the Ma family were not as clear as the Wang family knew, but they just said that the former head of the Ma family was a good person, but it was a pity that he died.
As for the Ma family's Ma Jiashan, these people didn't know the details, but they just persuaded Liu Yunhua not to find out, that Ma Jiashan was not a good thing.
Looking at Liu Yunhua's face, these people really couldn't bear to let that loser thing Huo Huo.
said some useless things, and some people lost the freshness of the beginning and dispersed one after another, and in the end, only two or three women remained, looking at Liu Yunhua with deep meaning.
"Little girl, are you married?"
Although Liu Yunhua frowned, he was not embarrassed to say anything else, so he pretended to shake his head shyly, and then said something like just wanting to earn some money to live now, and then find a home.
These women didn't force it, even if such a beautiful girl let her son marry back, and she was not a person who knew the roots, she couldn't be deterred, so she could only return disappointed and no longer continue to entangle.
When the swarthy man saw them leaving, he scratched his head and asked embarrassedly, "Girl, do you want to go to the Wang family now, the one from my family can help you ask." ”
This honest man didn't forget this incident, which made Liu Yunhua speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
The swarthy man scratched his head again and said, "Since the girl doesn't want to go, I won't persuade you, it just so happens that I think the Wang family is also quite evil, and there will be some strange things happening." ”
"Strange things?"
The swarthy man looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, and then he said something strange, this swarthy man's daughter-in-law is a wild man who can scrape, and it just so happens that every time the wife of the Wang Yuanwai family has a nausea and wants to vomit or something, she has to invite her daughter-in-law to go, and this is the acquaintance with the Wang family.
As for the strange thing, this lady eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, and once in a while, when the Wang family sends a foreigner to the family, this lady says some nonsense.
The swarthy man smiled embarrassedly when he said this, "As for what's the matter, I won't spread rumors here, but now I also see that the girl is really pitiful, and she has nothing to do, so I said too much, girl, don't take it seriously." ”
"Big brother said with a smile, big brother is helping me, how can I not know what to do."
After Liu Yunhua asked the swarthy man how the Ma family left, he said goodbye and left under the swarthy man's strange eyes.
"This girl, it's strange."
Liu Yunhua has a basic understanding of the affairs of the Wang family, the next one is the Ma family, as for what the Ma family is like, Liu Yunhua will not care, a notorious person.
Kill, kill, but not now, she wants to go to Ma's house to scrape and buy a suit for herself.
Poor Liu Yunxi walked back and forth in the yard, and from time to time she had to change places, full of anxious looks waiting for people, but she didn't wait for Liu Yunhua, but waited for Zhang Qian to come back.
Zhang Qian held a pile of papers with "Zhang Rui's room this way" in her hand, and looked at Liu Yunxi with confusion.
Liu Yunxi hurriedly snatched it from her hand and said, "Zhang Qian, what do you mean!" ”
"I want to ask you what that means?"
"Of course, it's to show Hua'er the way!"
"Hua'er? Who is it? The assassin? ”
Liu Yunxi snorted, and didn't pay attention to Zhang Rui, who tore off and left a hint for Liu Yunhua.
Zhang Qian hugged Liu Yunxi from behind and said, "Even if you are a fool, don't think that others are stupid, you are sticking this kind of label everywhere, no matter how stupid others are, it is impossible for them to come." ”
"You're a fool, your whole family is a fool!"
Zhang Qian laughed, waiting for Liu Yunxi to dissipate, "What should I do then?" ”
"Don't worry, if you really want to see that assassin, I'll let the brothers pretend to escort you in the next few days, and then relax a little bit to create an opportunity for you."
"Is it possible?"
Zhang Qian pointed to the stack of papers that Liu Yunxi was holding and said, "It depends on the other party's courage." ”
"Isn't that a chance?"
"Why isn't there a chance? We've got a long way to do this, huh? ”
"Very long? Didn't you say that you were going to leave when you finished your rounds? ”
"I'm going to leave if there's no problem with the patrol, but now that I've found the problem, of course I'll have to wait."
"How long will it take?"
Zhang Qian didn't reply, and Liu Yunxi asked with some worry, "Do you want me to make a move?" ”
Zhang Qian pinched Liu Yunxi's cheek and said, "You just wait for that assassin with peace of mind, this matter is not as troublesome as you think, but it is a little tricky here." ”
"Isn't that what I need to do?"
Zhang Qian said: "There should be no powerful characters on the other side, but if this matter is true, when we leave, the people here will have to say goodbye." ”
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Zhang Qian smiled playfully and said, "Is it good to throw cabbage leaves and eggs?" ”
Liu Yunxi didn't understand the reason, and asked very bluntly: "Isn't this bad?" ”
Zhang Qian is now what she really means to Liu Yunxi, and she really doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers.
"Why is this bad? Isn't it a sign of respect to send us off with food? ”
Zhang Qian smiled and said, "It's better that you don't want to know, by the way, why do you have to meet that assassin, is it possible that you know?" ”
Liu Yunxi nodded and shook her head again, "I'm not sure either, so I want to see her, and then confirm that I don't recognize her." ”
"Didn't we meet a few times before? She doesn't seem to know you, huh? ”
"I don't know you with your face covered."
Zhang Qian hugged Liu Yunxi tightly and said softly: "I'm different, even if you cover your face, I know you." ”
"You... You... Get out! ”
