"Owner, you are back, our hearts have been hanging in the past two days, and we all say that it is easy to enter Yanwai Castle and difficult to get out. In another place, the old lady would have taken us there a long time ago, but no one dared to go to that place in the castle. Jen'er said wow-la-wow.

"It's not as evil as you say, my master and I came back last night, and we went to Yuanwai Villa to help deliver the baby."

"Yuqing, what is Yanwai Castle like, does that place have a lot of secrets? In the past two years, the villa and the castle were married, but I envied a lot of girls and young ladies. Ye Xuan asked curiously.

"That's it, the house is taller than ours, the yard is bigger than ours, and everyone has the same two eyes and one mouth. As for the secret, we didn't see it, the master was busy treating the sick and saving people, and I was also busy learning some skills, and the time passed in a daze. What are you two going to do? Yuqing vaguely changed the subject.

"Oh, there's nothing big in the villa today, and the two of us want to go to the shop in our yard to have a look, my father and eldest brother used to be in charge of the shop, and now it's up to me. There's no way to do it, the men are gone, and if you don't understand, you have to learn to understand. ”

"Yes, our courtyard used to be a big housekeeper, and now the eldest lady doesn't have that mind, so this matter will be pushed to me. In fact, I don't know how to do business, and I don't have to worry about receiving monthly money on time every month. Before the palace change, our shop entered a batch of goods, and it was scattered by the two sides of the fight on the way, and the shop lost a lot this month. Zhen'er and Ye Xuan both poured bitter water and said.

"Yes, it's not just your respective yards, but even the villa has more than a dozen shops, which is also the economic source of the villa. Let's start with our own shop, and then we will have to manage the shop in the villa. You wait for me, and I'll go with you. ”

"Wait, my old man is going with you, and now there is chaos in the imperial city, how can you three girls do it."

"Lao Langzhong, if we go to our own shop, nothing will happen."

"I dislike that I am old, and I have gone back twenty years, and I am also a famous person in the imperial city. My old man also has a pharmacy, which used to be run by apprentices, but now that they are all dead, I should go over and take stock of the accounts. ”

"Master, then you sit in the carriage and rest, and when you get to the pharmacy, you get down." Yuqing said, thinking of a trip to the ancient castle, which aroused the fighting spirit of the old man. In my memory, Lao Langzhong rarely left the villa, even if he followed his grandmother and went to the imperial city.

The Imperial City is the same as the last time I came with the old owner's wife, and the shops of each family have just opened at this hour, and the shops are very deserted. When they arrived in the imperial city, several girls separated, and they met for a while in the restaurant of the villa. Yuqing first sent Lao Langzhong to see his pharmacy, and then rushed to the grocery store opened by his aunt on the edge of the imperial city.

The grocery store has a large area, selling all kinds of life bits and pieces, don't look at the edge of the imperial city, the flow of people is still good, this is a place where the poor and the rich have to patronize, because those bits and pieces of life do not necessarily have to be loud, as long as the things are convenient and convenient. Yuqing admires his aunt very much in his heart that he is a smart person, no wonder just such a grocery store feeds a yard of children. The shopkeeper was an old man, with two men and a bookkeeper. When Yuqing arrived, several people were eating porridge and pickles, and they were still talking about things.

"Shopkeeper, the owner and your son have both died in the palace, and there are only two ignorant dolls left in the sixth courtyard, what will happen to this shop in the future?" A guy asked.

"You both have put your minds right, there are only two roots in the owner's yard, and this shop is all their net worth. The proprietor has always been generous to us, and we have to guard this grocery store. ”

"The shopkeeper, this month the imperial city is in chaos, three days and two ends of the apportionment of silver, the good business can still be maintained, the bad business has a lot of shops closed down, and a few days ago so many goods were smashed. There is not much silver on our account, and the people from the Six Courtyards have not yet come to reconcile, and it is about to be the New Year, I don't know how the two young masters in the Six Courtyards live. ”

"Mr. Bookkeeper, no matter what, we have to guard this shop, but we can't be like those few maids, who will take other people's things and run away when the master dies. There are only two children left in the sixth courtyard now, and I heard that the young lady who lived in the guest house is also alive, and if the young lady is a grateful child, she will not leave her two cousins behind. ”

"Grandpa of the shopkeeper, if you talk about me again, Jing'er Wen'er is my own brother, and I will not leave them." Yuqing's voice sounded at the door, and the startled four people who were eating all looked up.

"You, are you Miss Yuqing? I was so tall when I saw you a few years ago. ”

"Grandpa of the shopkeeper, I was not even ten years old a few years ago, of course I have grown taller, and you haven't been back to the villa for a long time, and I didn't see you when I cremated the souls of the dead last time. You're still so shrewd and sophisticated. ”

"Miss Yuqing, everyone is dead and cold, and it will only increase the sadness if you have been there. It's better to keep this grocery store for the owner. "The shopkeeper felt hurt.

"Miss Biao, you're here to inspect and check the accounts today, right? Our shop didn't make any money this month, so I showed Miss Table the account books. The bookkeeper looked at Yuqing and said.

"Old man, Yuqing is coming to see the shop today, and then I will bring the eldest young master over, and you will take him with you. I heard that the streets were very chaotic when the palace changed, but our shop was not affected in any way, right? Yuqing waved his hand and said.

"Miss Biao, the eldest young master is only nine years old after the New Year, is it still a little younger to learn to manage the shop?"

"The shopkeeper's grandfather, the property of the six courtyards must be handed over to the eldest young master and the second young master, as the old saying goes, the children of the poor are in charge early, so you should take the trouble to teach him."

"Miss Yuqing, if you can think like this, it is not in vain that the owner loves you. When the palace changed, there was chaos on the street, and I don't know how many people from all sides killed red eyes, and when they saw people, they all stabbed knives, and many innocent people lost their lives without knowing it. It was just in time for us to bring in a batch of pots and pans from the countryside that day, only to be broken up and smashed by the fighters, but fortunately the two guys escaped with their legs. There were few good truckloads of goods. These days, people save everything at home, and we haven't had time to count it yet. ”

"Grandpa the shopkeeper, everyone is not at ease in troubled times, and things have a sense of security under their noses. In troubled times, it is not easy to buy and sell, you can guard the shop for the six courtyards, Yuqing is grateful. It's the New Year in a few days, my aunt and aunt are not there, Yuqing is temporarily in charge of the six courtyards, and this month Yuqing will add fifty taels of silver to each of you, which is more or less Yuqing's heart. After the New Year, the shop still needs a few people to take care of it, which is the source of life for the two young masters in the sixth courtyard. Yuqing said and took out a few silver tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Miss Biao, you are really a good person, as kind as your old club. The life of the Sixth Courtyard is not easy, and you are still thinking about our New Year. It just so happened that the shop was not busy right now, so I took Miss Biao to see the cart of groceries. A guy carefully picked up the fifty taels of silver tickets and said gratefully.

"Accounts office, you and him stay in front, and I'll take Miss Yuqing to the backyard." The shopkeeper also smiled and put away the silver ticket.

In the open space in the backyard of the grocery store was parked a carriage frame with unloaded horses, covered with straw. An old horse was munching on hay in the stables, and there were several rooms.

"Miss Yuqing, you are here for the first time, one of the several rooms in our backyard is where the two of us live, and the other rooms are warehouses. The frame on the car is the last purchase was broken, one is busy and the other is that the owner did not come, and we are not good at counting privately. Just this truckload of goods is almost this month's profit, alas, unlucky! ”

"The shopkeeper's grandfather, as long as people are okay in troubled times, you can earn more money if you lose money, and see if there is anything intact." Yuqing said as he reached out and picked up the straw that was covered, and there was something strange in his hand, it turned out to be a silk bag. She quietly put the silk bag into her arms, and then counted the goods on the car frame with the shopkeeper. I thought that someone must have hidden the silk bag here during the war, and I don't know if the bag is a family heirloom or something valuable. Did the person hiding the object die or escaped?

The upper dishes of the car shelf are broken, a few iron pots below can still be sold, there is not much problem with bamboo chopsticks below, and the worst thing is that the incense candles and miscellaneous things have become powder......

"Miss Yuqing, we lost five hundred taels of silver in this truckload of goods, and we originally wanted to sell them all before the year, but that's it."

"It's hard in troubled times! Who are the people who have scattered us? Yuqing asked casually.

"Who knows, it's either the new emperor or the new emperor's people, they are all the sons of the old emperor, what are you doing if you kill me and I kill you, that position is so important that I don't even want family affection." The young man said.

"What do you know about this kid, even if it's a big family for the right to manage things, you fight for me, and the concubine is clear."

It was noon when I was busy working in the grocery store, and the silk bag in Yuqing's arms had not had a chance to open it to see what it was, so I told the people in the shop that Yuqing went to the big restaurant of the villa to meet Ye Xuan and Zhen'er. There were more people on the streets, and they were all in a hurry. The restaurant of the villa is in the center of the imperial city, and the Qi's restaurant is on the cloth banner, looking at the restaurant signboard Yuqing fluttering in the wind, I am sure that the original must be the Ye's restaurant.

This hour was the time when the restaurant had the most diners, Yuqing found Ye Xuan and Zhen'er inside, the two young ladies were sitting in the corner of the lobby talking something, looking so different in the place where the big men gathered.

"Why don't you wait in the back?" Yuqing sat down and asked.

"We have just arrived, and the guys haven't come over yet, so let's sit here and see how the business is going." Ye Xuan sorted out the face towel and said.

"Yuqing Zhuang Master, the business here is very good, but some people put down dishes, I came early, and the guys walked around to greet those people, but no one came to greet the two of us." Zhen'er said angrily as she looked at the men who were making fists and drinking orders.

"It's not surprising, after all, young ladies like us are just for food, and we don't make a lot of money here. Jen'er, how do you see that business is good here? ”

"When I came, my mother told me that my family has a small restaurant, and I have been secretly observing the number of diners for half a day, estimating the income of each table of silver."

"Zhen'er, you really have a business brain, the two shops in our third courtyard are selling rouge gouache, and my brain hurts when I look at it directly. Several shops said that they lost money this month, and I couldn't understand those accounts, alas, worried. I think I still look at the silver well, and I don't know how to make money. ”

"Ye Xuan, if you don't know it, you have to learn, the villa is not a two-family shop, we have to come a few times a month, how can we not understand anything." Yu Qingzheng said that he finally saw a guy coming to this table, and at this time, a few guests in the lobby quarreled.

"What are you? It's just a wild child who came out of the eldest princess's mansion, and he deserves to talk to this son. ”

"Even if you don't look at your background, even if the dog pee moss grows in the princess's mansion, it's unsightly. That is, a few of us can still sit at the same table with you, and we really think of ourselves as human beings. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you can please this meal. Xiao Er will bring another pot of good wine. ”

"Brothers, let's stop arguing. Today is different from the past, which of us is not a man with his tail between his legs? Prince Yuning, they are just drunk and angry here. When we go out, we have to grovel to those upstart dogs, and only our brothers are friends. ”

"If the wine is in the stomach of the person, it is still in the stomach of the dog. In addition to playing tricks with his own brothers, what else do you have to do? ”

"It's not like you're being beaten and carried back. Forget it, the same is the end of the world, my brother just said the wrong thing, okay. ”

"That's right, it's really embarrassing to live." Originally, I thought that a few young people at this table would not agree with each other, but in the end, it was gone. The diners in the restaurant continued to eat and drink after watching it for a while, and this situation is often not strange in troubled times.

"You continue to eat and drink, and this son is gone."

"This stinky temper, looking at the injury I was beaten last time, I just don't have a long memory." Looking at the childe who left the table, the son, who was still noisy just now, said helplessly.

The young man who left was only about twenty years old, and the last time Yuqing punished those gangsters in the imperial city, he heard that a son was beaten and carried back if he was not convinced, but he didn't expect to meet this backbone person here. Yuqing couldn't help but take a few more looks, and admired the backbone of this son in his heart. It just so happened that the boy also looked over, and Yuqing immediately had a sense of déjà vu.

In just an instant, the boy walked out of the sixth floor, and his steps quickly showed that he was a young man with kung fu.
