After a night and a day, the snow finally stopped, and the snowman in the yard could no longer see anything.

He Wen and Ye Sheng got up early in the morning to clear the snow, and today Zhao Yunlan was going to buy someone to come back.

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang and He Wen out together, and there were fewer people shopping outside in the snow. Some officials were sweeping the snow from the main street, and pedestrians were walking in twos and threes.

Zhao Yunlan and the others also walked out, He Wenwen thought about driving the carriage out, the boundary of the capital is still quite large, and the place where I want to go today is in the south of the capital, some distance from the city gate.

And the location of Huaiyuan Street in the northwest, it will take almost an hour to walk around just by concentrating, let alone Zhao Yunlan walking around like this. Zhao Yunlan plans to walk the streets of the capital by herself, so as to help herself understand the layout of the capital, otherwise she won't even know the way out.

It's just that on this snowy day, the road is a little slippery, and I finally walked to the cleaned street, and the shoes of several people were a little wet. Zhao Yunlan decided to go to business first, and this matter of shopping and recognizing the way will continue next time.

He Wen led the way in front and gave Zhao Yunlan and Chunxiang a safe road, so they walked by themselves, and unconsciously walked to Shanqing Street.

Most of the people living on Shanqing Street are poor people, and no matter how prosperous the capital is, there are people living at the bottom. Because there are many poor people here, some tooth people and tooth women also gather here.

"Ma'am, this side of the road is narrow, be careful to slip."

Zhao Yunlan said: "Hmm." ”

He Wen walked to a house planted with osmanthus trees and stopped, "Madam, this is it." This is the house of the Chen Ya people. ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded and motioned for He Wen to knock on the door.

He Wen went up and knocked, and after a while, an old man came and opened the door.

"It's Little Brother He, please come in!"

He Wen: "This is my wife, and I want to come to Brother Chen today to buy someone." With that, he stepped aside and gave up his position to Zhao Yunlan.

The old man saluted and took Zhao Yunlan and his party inside. Chen Yaren was training the group of people who had just been recovered, and when he saw the old man in the porter coming over with someone, he immediately put on a happy face.

"Xiao He, who is this?" Chen Yaren looked at Zhao Yunlan.

He Wen: "Brother Chen, this is my wife." ”

Chen Yaren bowed, the collapsed flesh on his face was piled up with a smile, and invited Zhao Yunlan to sit down.

Zhao Yunlan has been walking for so long, her feet are indeed a little sore, and Chen Yaren is not polite to sit down.

Zhao Yunlan bought people this time with one request, asking for people from the capital. I had already explained to He Wen before I came, so this time I came to negotiate with He Wen and Yaren, and I sat on the side and watched.

Chen Yaren knew that the dignitaries' requests were not verbose, and immediately called a group of people over.

"Madam, I don't be sloppy, although some of these people are not local to the capital, they have been in the capital for many years, and they are from the official family, and the rules are also excellent." Chen Yaren said.

Zhao Yunlan jokingly questioned: "The rules are excellent, so will you come out of the official family?" ”

Chen Yaren was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I can assure Madame that none of these people have committed crimes, and the rest are not easy to say, we have to ask too much about those high-ranking officials and nobles." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded lightly and didn't say anything more, Chen Yaren continued: "Madam, a few people here do things quickly, and they often go to the outside of the house to do business, and they know a little bit about the affairs of the capital. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Then you can help me pick a clever one." ”

Chen Yaren called a man, who looked like a simple person, and he was quite tall and burly.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the man in front of her, as if the men here were quite tall, and compared to He Wenyi, He Wendu looked a little malnourished.

Chen Yaren: "Madam, this person's name is Li Hua, and he used to be a buyer in the Qingyang Hou Mansion. This Qingyang Hou is a military general, and the little servants in the family will do some kung fu. ”

Zhao Yunlan didn't speak, thinking that there was a lack of a nursing home at home, and this person's fist and foot skills were indeed very attractive.

He Wen received Zhao Yunlan's gesture and asked, "Brother Chen, how old is this Li Hua?" ”

Chen Yaren: "Nineteen years old, this Li Hua has been in the capital for twelve years. It's better to let Li Hua say it himself! ”

He Wen looked at Zhao Yunlan, and Zhao Yunlan nodded. Chen Yaren waved his hand and the others went down, leaving only Li Hua.

Li Hua didn't wait for Chen Yaren's instructions and stepped forward and said: "The villain asks for peace to his wife, the villain is just nineteen this year, the villain came to the capital with his grandfather at the age of seven, and his grandfather died of illness within two years of arriving in the capital, and he has spent all his savings to see his grandfather, and then the villain had to sell his body for silver to bury his grandfather."

Selling his body was not smooth, but fortunately he met the old housekeeper of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, not only did not deduct the money from selling his body, but also helped the villain bury his grandfather, and then from time to time in the house, the old housekeeper mentioned something, and the villain also learned some kung fu. The old housekeeper is getting older and older, and his health is not good, and the last time he was in charge of the house, he deliberately transferred the villain to do easy work, and the villain could occasionally go out of the house.

It's just that later the old marquis handed over the Hou Mansion to the uncle, and the old batch of subordinates who could stay went to the old marquis's yard, and the uncle also sold a group of people out of the mansion on the grounds of saving money and being thrifty, and the villain also left the Hou Mansion. ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Hua with some sadness in her eyes, and once again mentioned her grandfather and the old housekeeper who was a benefactor, and she evoked nostalgia in her heart.

The person in front of him has good conditions in all aspects, and in the Hou Mansion, he can also hear about some high-ranking officials and nobles, and later has the opportunity to leave the mansion, so he should not be unfamiliar with the affairs of the capital.

There is also the fact that this Li Hua knows some kung fu, and he is strong and slapping in front of the door, playing two sets casually, which is quite frightening. Besides, this person's surname is Li, isn't this a talent tailored for our old Li family!

Zhao Yunlan decided to accept Li Hua, but Zhao Yunlan was still a little distressed when she handed over the silver, and it was a lot more expensive to buy people in this capital.

After putting away Li Hua's deed of sale, Zhao Yunlan didn't stay long, and walked back with the three of them.

When I came back, I passed by the ready-to-wear shop, Zhao Yunlan asked He Wen to go in and buy two sets of clothes for Li Hua, the pants worn by Li Hua on a cold day were sewn and patched with multiple patches, and the sleeves of the jacket were also shortened.

Even so, Li Hua still carried it hard, and did not curl up on his shoulders because of the cold.

Li Hua knew that this was the clothes he bought for himself and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, Zhao Yunlan was startled, and then said calmly: "Okay, there are no harsh people in our house, and besides, you can't go out to meet people with this patch." ”

Zhao Yunlan raised her hand to let Li Hua get up, and then said: "Xiaowen, you go there and rent a carriage, let's go back quickly, it's too cold this day." ”

There is a horse shop with a rental carriage on a street opposite the garment shop, Zhao Yunlan doesn't want to walk back, this snow is solid and slippery.

He Wenying got down, and after a while, the carriage came, followed by a coachman.

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang into the carriage, and He Wen and Li Hua sat on the left and right sides of the coachman and returned to Huaiyuan Street.

I don't even think my word can be trusted!

was originally a lazy person, but he was even more slack during the New Year.

In fact, I hope that everyone can urge me to change more, so that I can be anxious every day, so that I can be urged not to be lazy.
