Chapter 17: The Bearded Man in the Hutong
"Da Lang, don't be impulsive, it's a big deal, let's stop doing it, the second housekeeper didn't take advantage of me, he used to take care of the business over there in Wanshan City, and rarely returned to Zhao Mansion, and he was only transferred back recently. The second housekeeper is not an ordinary person, if you kill him and eat a lawsuit, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break it, we can't do it, we can't do it!" Wan Liushi ran to the courtyard and grabbed Wan Qingping, who had a hideous face, and persuaded hard.
Wan Liushi persuaded for a while, Wan Qingping threw the dagger fiercely, and the blade of the knife suddenly sank into the dirt with a "poof" sound under the angry throwing, and then smashed his fist on the ground and said: "This can't be cheap, this old thing, dare to break ground on his mother Tai Sui's head, see how capable he is, mother!
Guang'an Hutong is a relatively famous alley in Chishui City, which is mostly inhabited by some medium-sized merchants or small and medium-sized officials with real power in Chishui City, these people are some small and valuable people, and they have a wide range of contacts.
Therefore, the officials of Chishui City did not dare to be sloppy, and often came and walked around from time to time every day, and when they encountered those blind ruffians who did not open their eyes, they were directly caught and thrown into prison.
On this day, a bearded man carrying a burden came to Guang'an Hutong, and the two baskets he carried were filled with freshly picked green and tender vegetables, and the leaves were still with dewdrops, which was very fresh.
A servant who was wandering around the entrance of the alley saw that the vegetable seller was a little unfamiliar, so he stepped forward and asked, "Who is it, what are you doing here?"
"Back to the official, the small one is Majiayu next to Chishui City, the small one is called Ma Futian, this is some small dishes collected in this house, I used to sell them on Dongguan Street, but I heard that there are many rich people living in this alley, and the price of small dishes can be higher, so I will come over today to try my luck, if it is easy to sell, I will come every day, and I hope that the official will take care of it in the future!" said the bearded man and took out a few copper coins from the coat on his body and handed them over, looking honest.
The official reluctantly took over the copper, these vegetable sellers are shabby, it is not bad to take the initiative to take out these coppers, and they can't squeeze any oil and water.
However, seeing that the bearded man was still acquainted, the official said: "Even if you kid is active, there are big families here, as long as the food is good, these people don't care much about the price." In the future, if you encounter an eye-opening splash in this area, report me to the name of Li Messenger, you kid, you can wait for me to have a drink at the end of the month, okay, go!"
"Thank you, thank you!" the bearded man nodded and said, and then carried the burden and swayed into the alley.
For several days, the bearded man carried the burden to sell vegetables every day, but this person was not very gregarious, and never chatted with other vendors when the business was light.
Renliju is a big mansion with three entrances, and its owner is not a medium-sized merchant, nor a small official, it is no accident that such a large mansion can be built in this alley, because this person is Zhao Lu, the second housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion in Chishui City.
Zhao Lu is the son of the Zhao family, a family of several generations to serve the Zhao Mansion, to Zhao Lu's generation, the Zhao family of the old man read his generation of loyal servants, plus Zhao Lu this person is shrewd, can write and calculate, and perennial for the Zhao Mansion to sit in another city of shops, the business is also very profitable, so when Zhao Lu was forty years old, Zhao Lao returned the man's slavery.
Zhao Lu's family has been doing business for Zhao Mansion for several generations, and at the same time, they have used this to help make some livelihoods that Zhao Mansion can't look down on, but they have also accumulated a lot of money, so they have built such a mansion.
Zhao Lu is more than 60 years old this year, white and fat, and looks rich. When I was in my thirties, I gave birth to a daughter, and I was afraid that my incense would be broken, and there would be no one to sweep the tomb after a hundred years, so I recruited a poor Xiucai who looked good to be my son-in-law.
I don't know if it's his daughter who follows the root, and the birth of a child is quite unsmooth, and he only gave birth to a daughter after a few years of marriage, which made Zhao Lu, who wanted to take a man with him, very anxious, and even went to his place many times to seek medical advice, and on weekdays, he went to the temple to run diligently and offer some sesame oil money.
Maybe it was because he found a good prescription, or it was blessed by the gods in the temple, anyway, his daughter finally gave birth to a big fat boy after a few years, which made Zhao Lu very happy, and he loved him abnormally on weekdays, and even arranged two of the four subordinates in the family to serve this little master.
The little young master is five years old this year, which is the age of naughty and playful, and he often runs out of the house to find some friends in the alley to play and play, and the people of the Zhao family are also accustomed to it.
Now the little master is hiding in a newly piled small firewood pile in the corner of the alley, shrinking his body and cat, thinking beautifully in his heart that his friends will definitely not find him this time, and when the time comes to hide the cat, he will definitely surprise them by jumping out again.
When the little young master was thinking about beauty, there was a sound of footsteps getting heavier and heavier, and then someone was pulling firewood.
Could it be that someone is hiding himself here? The little young master tried to shrink back, trying to continue the cat, but the firewood pile was quickly opened, and the little young master saw a flash of dazzling sunlight, and then his mouth was enlightened, and a pungent smell came, and then he didn't know anything.
The bearded man quickly put the five-year-old child into a big basket with vegetables, and covered it with a layer of green vegetables, then turned the corner, swayed and left the alley with the burden, at this time the two servants who were waiting for the little master in the distance were looking at this group of young masters and young ladies with relish with the rest of the children's servants!
