22 Ningrong Street
OK.
Yunzhu was young, so when chatting with Pearl and the others, they didn't have much to talk about, so the one they mentioned the most was the third child of the Zhao family, whom they knew well.
Zhao Laosan was the first good old man she met when she came back. Zhao Liu, who had been here for the first few days, was heartbroken all the time for what happened to him. In addition, he had never been in such a poor state before.
Quite unorganized.
It is normal for a child at such a young age not to know how to do things. Unfortunately, the Zhao family is so poor that they cannot take the blame. The four or five-year-old children in the family are so poor that they have to be used as laborers.
Because of this, Zhao Liu would be beaten if he stayed in bed like a coquettish person, and would be scolded if he didn't do things well. Most of the tough old lady's catchphrases were "Yaoshou's girl's movie", and it was common for her to get started in a hurry.
The eldest sister of the Zhao family has been married a long time ago. Zhao Er has a taciturn temperament. Zhao Four and Zhao Wu are two ghosts who hug each other for warmth. They never want to take a second look at a slug like Zhao Liu. That little bastard Zhao Qi
Dan, he is even more of a duplicitous bad guy. His favorite thing is to report to this tough old lady!
Whenever the report was finished, the tough old lady would always criticize others. Looking at Zhao Qi's smug face, Zhao Lu always felt disgusted. Several times he wished he could find a place where no one was around and give the naughty kid a good beating.
It's a pity that I was sold before I could find the opportunity.
During that month, only Zhao San was willing to take her to do things. He was willing to pinch half of the hard-to-find rose buds in autumn, take her to hunt for chicken grass, and search for thatch root and sour fruits all over the mountains and plains.
After washing with the spring water, he chewed it slowly in his mouth. He also dared to take the tough old lady into hiding in the woodshed when she was looking for a stick. He even dared to dig out half a tael of the money she earned from selling her body and secretly give it to her...
Those tender feelings are one of the few beautiful memories in Zhao Lu's life after time travel. No matter what Zhao San thinks in his heart, for Zhao Lu, they are a rare friendship between brothers in need.
When Xiren heard that Zhao Sandu was married, Yunzhu thought it was time to go and congratulate her.
As soon as he got Yunzhu's approval, Xiren suppressed his beaming expression and opened Jia Baoyu's small warehouse in front of everyone. In front of everyone, he weighed forty taels of silver with the shiny copper weight and came out.
, handed it over to Qingwen solemnly.
Just now she was still telling Qixie that this matter was strange, but in Qingwen's view, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Xiren was always making things difficult for her, and now he even put a half-year-old child next to her to watch, although she didn't know
I want to be a monster, but I have to find ways to deal with it just to survive.
The sun was approaching noon, and half of the promised day off was gone.
During the days when Jia Baoyu was in school, Jiangyunxuan was always very peaceful. Behind everyone's back, with either puzzling or gloating eyes, Pearl Qingwen and Yunzhu walked out of the second door.
At the back door, Qingwen's cousin was already waiting there.
Qingwen playfully told the two of them that this was her brother Duoguan, who had a nickname called Duohun Chong, you could just call him Duohun Chong.
The man who is called a bastard is tall, with a sloppy face, a well-proportioned figure and muscular muscles, and a wheat-colored skin that is not the kind that pleases his master. Therefore, he is still working as a servant for everyone, doing some cattle slaughtering.
The work of slaughtering sheep to deliver meat.
Although it was a bit harder, I managed to save some money and built a two-room shelter in an alley, half rented and half bought.
Qingwen said that in addition to doing work, her brother always had people yelling at him to drink. He would not refuse anyone from many officials. Although Qingwen occasionally tried to persuade him, he would only say: "If you have wine today, you will get drunk today. You are in the realm of a saint."
don't know!"
Yunzhu did not comment on such a free and easy attitude towards life. After all, Yunzhu was envious of just having a house, among other things.
"You girl, you are quite dishonest. I just drink in public and let others do it. Why do you call me a worm?"
The three little girls were giggling and irritated. Pearl and Yunzhu didn't call them such unpleasant names as Duohun Chong. They only nodded slightly and saluted, then you pulled me and I pulled yours and got into the carriage.
.
As soon as they got in the car, they saw that there were many gift boxes wrapped in red and gold paper. Then the three of them remembered that the official was going to give a holiday gift to Mr. Lai's son and wife.
"Be careful, I don't know what it is, so let's squeeze in and stay away from it." Qingwen used the small table in the car to separate the three of them from the gift boxes, dusted off her clothes and sat down.
Yunzhu was the smallest, squeezed in between the two, watching the two sisters on the left and right holding the edge of the wood, laughing out loud.
"If I had known this car was so small, we should have squeezed in with Yingge and the others. It is a big car after all!" Pearl saw Yunzhu laughing and couldn't help but insult her.
I know that there are several maids going out today. Although the old lady nodded and agreed to send a carriage, she is still a servant. She has to take the carriage according to the convenience of the stable and go around from the east city. There are so many streets in the north and south. I don’t know how far I have to go.
Road, where is the convenience of taking my own car?
Qingwen hummed, but her tone was cheerful: "Huh, Yingge's home is in the south. If you go and squeeze in, it will take half an hour to get home. Are you willing to do it?"
"That's right. I don't have to walk back by myself. I'm happy with Amitabha. If I can still get home early, it's a great blessing to sister Qingwen." Yunzhu grabbed one sister with one hand and suppressed the two's intention to quarrel again.
Send a flattery in time.
It's too difficult. It's really hard to be a worker.
Jia Mu's Courtyard was filled with all the smart girls in Rongguo Mansion. Yunzhu didn't know how she survived there for a year. If she didn't have half a pound of money every month and had enough to eat every day, she would definitely have survived.
He couldn't be as good as he is now, let alone develop such a naughty temperament as he is now.
Maybe it's because she's young, maybe it's because she has a low position. Although there's only one person who has made a special trip to scheme against her so far, as long as others are careful enough, they won't be involved in the conflict.
But just being careful enough was enough to exhaust the heartless Zhao Lu until he was in his twenties.
Fighting each other every day is simply not something she can do as a college student!
Duohunchong drove the carriage out of the south gate, and a few hundred meters further, there was the famous Ningrong Street, which was bustling with people and very prosperous. The three of them were not young ladies, so naturally they were not particular about not seeing outsiders, and they were polite.
The sitting posture showed its original shape within a few minutes.
"What are they chasing?" Qingwen lifted half of the curtain and looked at the children chasing on the roadside. At the front was a salesman carrying two wooden barrels and running all the way, shouting: Sold out today, sold out today.
!
Pearl followed her eyes with great interest, and saw the child at the end wearing cloth shoes that didn't fit. Although his clothes were not shabby, they were hung loosely on his shoulders. He also held a bamboo stick in his hand with a
Pink candy ball, then the candy ball is probably the target of chasing, right?
"It's a candy seller. He said they were sold out today. It seems like business is going very well."
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a bustling street scene. Yunzhu turned sideways to see more of the people outside. Most of the people on Ningrong Street were young people. If not all of them were rich and powerful, they were at least among the small rich.
At home, the way you dress can show that you live a prosperous life.
But within a few minutes, the carriage came out of Ningrong Street. The prosperity just now seemed to have plummeted. Every now and then, you could see beggars in ragged clothes. Most of the passers-by looked disheveled and looked thin and in a hurry.
He is a person who is running for life.
Seeing this scene, even Qingwen, who was in high spirits, felt a little bored, "I heard that there was a drought in the north this year and the grain harvest was reduced by 50% to 60%. I didn't expect that the capital would be like this."
"Looking at the weather, it's going to be hard to eat. Can't you just live well in the house?" Duoguan shouted outside and told Qingwen that Xuezhai was coming soon, and added a few words.
Xuezhai is a bookstore opened by a friend of Jia Dairu. I heard that there is an ink maker who lives here recently. He only sells a limited amount of his own Hui ink every month. It is also endorsed by literati and ink masters, which attracted literati in the city to rush to buy it. For a while, it opened in
The bookstore in the secluded area is also crowded with people.
On one side were the wealthy and elegant people who spent a lot of money, and on the other side were the poverty-stricken people living frugally. Qingwen pinched her purse filled with money and became silent for the rare occasion.
Among the four people present, only the Pearl family has a better family background. The previous two generations were born in the Rongguo Mansion. Although they were slaves, they were given clothes, money, and money on time in all seasons. They also worked hard in the mansion for many years, so they had little family wealth.
Naturally, I don’t understand the hardships of poor family members who are so poor that they sell their children and daughters.
Looking at Zhao Liu again, although her original family was poor, Zhao Lu was not. She was sold before she could experience the pain. Although she was a slave and had more control over her, compared to the Zhao family, she was not as good as the Zhao family.
The hard life was much easier for me, so I felt a lot of sympathy for the poor people outside.
Only Qingwen felt the same emotion and scene. The two of them saw Qingwen's eyes turning red as she looked at the beggar.
"Don't cry, don't cry. That's all in the past. Now Mr. Bao is a gentle master and you can do the same. It will be a good life from now on!" Pearl hugged Yunzhu and Qingwen to comfort her.
shape.
Yunzhu didn't know the details, so he also echoed: "Yes, yes, you have both money and excellent skills. When the time comes, you will find a family..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pearl slapped her gently, not hard, to signal her to shut up.
Yes, if comforting is the opposite, shut up immediately.
"What is Lao Shizi's family? Yunzhu is young and loves his family, but you don't know about Pearl?
My family is just a small family in the Huaiyang area. I was sold out at a young age. Not to mention that I will go out to find my family in the future. Even now, I might not recognize my mother if she stands in front of me!
"
The past flashed into her face, and the more Qingwen talked about it, the more miserable she felt. She bluntly said that her parents were not good people. They sold such a small child, and there was no such thing as family ties, flesh and blood...
Seeing that the words were getting more and more outrageous, today's saints rule the world with benevolence and filial piety. If these words were used as evidence, it would cause a lot of trouble. Pearl and Yunzhu both wanted to cover Qingwen's mouth.
