A few days later, the little girl with slightly dark skin led an old man who sold firewood into the yard.

The old man put Chai He down, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and the little black girl said, "Uncle, it's hard work, come in and drink saliva." ”

The old man rubbed his hands together and followed the little black girl into the wing.

At the kang table in the wing room, there was an old woman sitting cross-legged, and next to the old woman, a fat girl was tearing a cloth rabbit.

The old man didn't dare to sit down, he stood there and drank a bowl of water, and he said to the old woman: "There is a man named Hu San, who goes to deliver spring water every day, and his ribs were broken by a horse a few days ago, so he asked his nephew to send water to the capital for him. ”

The emperor and his concubines, as well as the palaces and princesses in Beijing, used the water of Yuquan Mountain, and every day before dawn, they would be escorted by the eunuchs who delivered water to the imperial city.

The other clans, nobles and important ministers drink tea on weekdays, using the water of Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Mountain is now under the jurisdiction of the household department, and the income from the sale of water belongs to the household department, so every morning, after the water delivery truck of Yuquan Mountain enters the city, it is the water delivery truck of Baiyun Mountain, which is escorted into Beijing by the household officials and sent to various prefectures.

In recent years, the Hou Mansion of Changping, as well as the Huo Mansion called the Changping Courtyard in Beijing, have been delivered by the water man named Hu San, who will meet at the designated place at the gate of the city after sending water to each prefecture every day, and then brought back to Baiyun Mountain by the household officials.

The old woman sighed: "It's a pity, it's all left over from my family's Wang An and Meng Xiaohai." ”

In Qinzhou back then, Wang An and Meng Xiaohai used this trick to deliver beef to General Liu.

The old man curled the corners of his lips: "How long ago was this, at that time, your fat girl was not born yet." ”

The old woman glanced at him and sighed faintly: "Yes, mother-in-law, I retired to the rivers and lakes, and those demons and monsters became public, and they were not sensible." ”

The old man couldn't help but smile and continued: "There is a fat powder shop in the capital called Dangui Ji, I heard that I used to go to give talcum powder to your fat girl? ”

The old woman's eyes showed sadness: "The female guy of Dangui Ji, shouldn't something happen too?" ”、

The old man nodded: "That female guy smashed his hand while moving things and was injured, so now the one who is sending talcum powder to your fat girl is a new mother-in-law, who can speak well and look at people's faces more than the original female guy, and their boss is very satisfied with her." ”

The old woman picked up the fat girl next to her, this fat girl grew up from childhood to adulthood, and she used Dangui Ji powder, talcum powder prickly heat powder, the powder is tender and refreshing, alas, I am afraid that it will not be able to be used in the future, and when she returns to the capital, she will inquire again, which one is better.

"Just these two?" The old woman asked.

"Too little, huh? It's a lot, plus the three people in the Zhuangzi, in less than ten days, five people have been discovered, and just these five people can take your fat girl away. The old man said.

The old woman waved her hand: "Sell your firewood, I can't listen to this now, I want to beat someone, you'd better hurry up, don't let me hit it!" ”

In the evening, the old woman came out of the house and went to the grocery store at the mouth of the alley to buy something.

An old lady took the initiative to talk to her: "Big sister, are you new here?" Was the house rented, or bought? ”

"Rent, one tael of silver a month, it's expensive." The old woman looked disgusted.

"A tael of silver is still expensive? It's not expensive, we are the county seat, close to the capital, a tael of silver is really not expensive, by the way, big sister, why haven't you seen your family, ouch, look at your age, could it be that your family is gone? The old lady asked.

The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched: "Old sister, I really let you say it right, my family is in charge, and I went to the West to learn the scriptures." ”

The old lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Let you amuse you to death, so that old thing in my family also went to the west to learn scriptures, maybe they can meet it." ”

The old sisters hit it off at first sight and chatted for a while.

The old woman knows a lot of things, in this alley, who has a few chickens, whose family has a few children, whose daughter-in-law loves to quarrel, whose girl is not serious, who has money, who has the poorest, who has no money and has money, in short, this new partner opened a window for the old woman and let her know the new world.

The old woman pointed to a family: "I heard the old sister say, there is no one living in that house?" ”

"Yes, his house can't be rented, and if it is sold, it can't be sold at a high price, so it can only be empty." The old lady said.

"Why, that yard looks about the same size as mine." The old woman asked curiously.

"Why? Of course, it's because there have been people dying there, but it's not a murderous house, that is, the old couple of that family died there, and they haven't even arrived for three years, so the house can't be rented or sold. Maybe one day the old couple will come back again, you say yes. The old lady patiently explained.

The old woman nodded, such things happened everywhere, and she didn't care.

Instead of going home, she went to a small inn not far from her home, where she rented a room.

The guy at the inn bought a bowl of noodles from outside, sat at the counter and ate the noodles, and from time to time there were guests coming in and out, and the guy didn't care.

At this time, a handsome young man walked down the stairs, and he was stunned, this boy also lived here?

When did you move in?

Why didn't he remember?

Seeing that the young man was about to walk out, the guy hurriedly stopped him: "This boy, are you here to find someone?" ”

The guy thinks that he has a good memory, he doesn't believe that he will not remember this son, after all, the good-looking and noble son, he has grown so big, and he has never seen a few, if this son lives here, it is impossible for him not to remember.

Childe smiled slightly: "I came to find someone, but unfortunately I didn't find it." ”

After saying that, he gently shook the folding fan and left.

The guy frowned and said to himself: "I must have not slept well at night, and there was something wrong with my brain, otherwise how could I not remember such a rich son." ”

And the noble son returned to that alley at this time.

He pulled a wire out of his sleeve and stabbed the lock of the empty house with no difficulty.

He walked into the courtyard and looked around, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

At this moment, the old lady craned her neck to look inside, and muttered; "Hey, it's weird, I just said this house today, and it hasn't been around for less than an hour, and this house has been rented out? What fool would rent this place and not be afraid of hauntings? ”

A gaze fell on the old lady, and the old lady was startled, ouch, it was actually a very rich son.

The old lady smiled and walked away quickly.
