Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  The guests bought their favorite fabrics, paid the money, and left reluctantly—they also wanted to watch the gossip, which seemed to be a show that the slaves had embezzled the owner’s assets, and the owner couldn’t bear it.

   I am very excited just listening to it.

  Unfortunately, as soon as they left, the boss waved his hand, and the fierce face and the stupid big man immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.

   The second child diligently brought out a chair from the tea room for Li Baolu to sit on.

Li Baolu gave him an admiring look with satisfaction. She sat down on the chair and glanced at the cloth shop. Except for the checkout counter, the other counters were filled with different fabrics. A row of wooden cabinets, divided into four horizontal and five vertical, a total of twenty large grids, each grid is placed with different fabrics.

   There are more than ten sets of ready-to-wear hanging on the north wall. Li Baolu saw that three places were vacant. Obviously, the ready-to-wear in that place had been sold.

   The business of this cloth village is not bad.

  Li Baolu picked up her lips and continued to look at it. She pointed to the small door in the west and asked, "Is that a tea room?"

   The guy bowed his head in trembling, "Yes."

   "Where is the second floor?"

   "The second floor is a place to entertain distinguished guests. Some precious silk and satin must be selected upstairs."

   "No wonder the cost is so high, it turns out that you also bought precious silk and satin."

   The man thoughtfully said: "This street is the most prosperous in the south of the city, and there will always be distinguished guests who need it."

   "Are you the only one in the store? Don't your wife, son and daughter also work in the store?"

   The guy's face was dull, "The lady of the shopkeeper is at home, young master, no, it's the shopkeeper's son and daughter who are still young..."

   The guy's face was carefully organized and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

   Li Baolu sneered and waved to the boss: "Copy, find all the fabrics and ready-to-wear, and take out all the cash in the shop."

   "Well, just take a look." With a wave of the boss's hand, the four younger brothers rushed to the second floor and the back warehouse with a loud roar.

   The man sweated profusely and waved his hands: "Ma'am can't do it, can't do it ma'am, these fabrics are very precious, if they are dirty and torn, they can't be sold."

   "It's alright," Li Baolu said with a slight smile, "I don't plan to sell it any more. You lose so much every year. Wouldn't it be silly for me to open a cloth shop again?"

   She had a smile on her face, but she stared at him like a cold light, and said word by word: "When the time comes, I will ask you to farm the land and earn it back for me."

She murmured: "You are the servants who signed the death contract. Mrs. Ben has no money to pay the debt. When the farming is busy, she will farm the land, and when the farming is slack, she will be brought to the city to work as a coolie, even if it is only twenty cents a day. , I made a lot of money in a year..."

   The guy fell to the ground softly. If someone else said this, he would definitely not believe it. These rich people have the best face, who would treat the next person like that?

   Do you want a face?

   But their wife is a child bride, how poor are people who can send their daughter to be a child bride?

   Their wives are still digging for money? Look, after reading the account for a year, it came to the door, and he didn't have the mind of the ladies of the Houfu at all.

Seeing that the five people had also removed the money that the shopkeeper had hidden in the living room on the second floor, the man no longer dared to hide it, and kowtowed: "Mrs. spare your life, ma'am, please spare your life, in fact, Buzhuang is making money, but it is the shopkeeper's job. He took all the surplus money and the money that was recorded as a loss!"

  Heart offered Li Baolu a cup of tea, Li Baolu held the teacup and asked with a smile, "Where did he take the money?"

   The guy gritted his teeth and kowtowed: "Take it home, I heard that the shopkeeper bought a lot of fields in Baoding, and he also sent money to the eldest lady..."

   "How did he buy land as a slave?"

   "He took a concubine, and the field was placed in her name."

   "He's too bold, so he's not afraid that the concubine's room will run away?"

"How dare she, we are the Hou's Mansion of Zhongyong..." The man paused, then changed his words: "We are the lecturers of the Hanlin, if she runs away, the shopkeeper has a hundred ways to make her life better than death, but the shopkeeper also guards against her. When he accepted her, he asked her family to write a deed of prostitution, but he just didn't get registered in the yamen."

Li Baolu understands that if she doesn't get registered in the yamen, she is a good person in the yamen and can buy land, but if she escapes, as a servant of Zhongyong Hou's mansion, it should not be too simple to temporarily register as a slave with a deed of sale. At that time, he could arrest and torture people in the name of tracking down fugitive slaves.

  Li Baolu raised the corner of her mouth and clapped her hands: "That's good, I thought I was going to lose a piece of money in vain."

   "The concubine's concubine's deed of sale must be found out later, she has a lot of property in her name."

   The eldest clenched his fists with bright eyes and said, "Madam, don't worry, as long as he is in the house, we will definitely find it for you."

"Ma'am, everything is here. We found a box of silver in the dark room of the living room on the second floor. I guess we didn't have time to move it away." The silly big man happily took out a cloth bag from his arms. , "I didn't expect that there was a dark board between the bed planks in the living room. As soon as I opened it, I found this cloth bag. Look what's inside."

Li Baolu opened it, and then couldn't help laughing. She took out a stack of paper from it and said to the five of them, "I found something before I went to his house. This is a land deed, um, not only There are those in Baoding, and there are those in the suburbs of Beijing, oh, there are quite a few here, only the suburbs of Beijing have 83 acres."

   The five people drooled at the land deed, and they made a fortune. They found this. How much can they share if they divide it into 30%?

   The small abacus in the hearts of the five people snapped.

   The guy was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the shopkeeper to hide such an important thing in the store.

  Li Baolu pondered, "Since the land deed is here, will the concubine's concubine's prostitution deed also be here?"

  Li Baolu and the other five looked up at the roof, and said stupidly, "Boss, I've searched the second floor, up and down, left and right, including the roof and beams!"

   The boss waved his hand and shouted, "Search for me!"

   So the four of them hugged a pillar "咻咻" and climbed up the beam of the house. The fierce face was the first to report the good news, "Boss, I found a small box on top. Hey, it's not a deed of sale, but a deed of house..."

   The second child immediately exclaimed: "I found it, I found it, and put the deed of life together with the gold ingot."

   But the four of them did not come down, but moved on the top, until they turned the beam and the roof over before sliding down, and said disappointedly: "There are only two things hidden..."

   Buddy and Hearts have lost their words, and they stared in stunned eyes, thinking in their hearts: The shopkeeper is too good at hiding things, and these people are too good at finding things!

   Li Baolu first glanced at the deed of prostitution, then turned around and handed it to Hearts: "Er Lin will come over in a while and let him take it to the yamen for registration. This must be done well today."

   Only then did I look at the house deed, "No. 36 Liu'er Hutong?" Li Baolu sneered: "You're well prepared, you have the land and the house, are you going to redeem yourself next?"

   Buddy lowered his head and tried to minimize his presence.

   The eldest eldest, with bright eyes, leaned over and asked, "Madam, does this house count as inside?"

   Li Baolu gave him a sideways look and said, "Is Mrs. Ben the kind of person who doesn't speak well?"

   She pointed to the fabric in the shop and said, "Except for the fabric and the silver on the counter, whatever you find counts."

The five of them almost screamed in excitement. The cloth and the money on the counter were all clearly placed. They were mentally prepared, but they didn't expect that the deed they found would also be included, so don't they have a house? Have land?

  Good business, the five of them looked at Li Baolu with passionate eyes, if only they could meet the heroine sooner.

  Li Baolu put away the property deed, gave the ingots of gold in the box to the boss, turned around and said, "Let's go, visit his house."

   The house of the steward of Buzhuang is in the third alley after the shop. The house of the Hou Zhongyong rented it to the servants in the shop. Every month, there is a rent of 2 taels in the account.

The    guy was also escorted along, asking him to lead the way and preventing him from tipping off.

Mrs. Zhou was the big woman in charge. At this moment, she pinched her waist and pointed her concubine Liu Hong's forehead, scolding: "You little hooves who just eat and don't cook, this is just to hide when your father is not at home. Right, I know how to hook up with guys on weekdays and ask you to do something to push things around, so what's the use of raising you?"

   After saying that, she got angry, her fingers grabbed her flesh and twisted fiercely, Liu Hong bit her lip and didn't dare to speak, she shrank her shoulders to hug the water basin on the ground.

   Didn't hear the exclamation, Madam Zhou was even more angry, beat her back a few times, and said angrily: "The gourd that sawed its mouth, I have raised you for so many years..."

   With a loud bang, the door of her house shook twice and then fell to the ground with a bang.

   Lady Zhou jumped up with a scream of "ah" and pointed at them angrily: "Who are you and what do you want to do? Do you know where this is?"

   "I know." The boss's eyes swept over the girl who was beaten to the ground, and a dim light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Mrs. Zhou coldly and said, "Isn't this the yard where the servants of the servants of the Gu family live?"

   Zhou Niangzi pinched her waist and said angrily, "I don't know what Hanlin is or not. Our family belongs to the Houfu of Zhongyong. You dare to kick my door, believe it or not..."

   When she saw Li Baolu and Hearts appearing behind her, her voice stopped abruptly, as if someone was choking her and she was speechless.

   She didn't know Li Baolu, but she knew Hearts, the big girl next to the second lady. Every time she entered the door to greet her, she would curry favor with the people she wanted.

   Li Baolu didn't even look at her, she glanced at the yard and waved: "Copy it for me!"

   The four of them rushed into the yard shouting "Ow Oo", and quickly kicked the doors of each room and rushed in. After a while, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came from each room.

  The eldest did not go with their younger brother, but walked one step behind Li Baolu.

Zhou Niangzi quickly reacted, and rushed into the room with an "Ow". She saw that her cabinet was opened, and the newly made clothes were placed on the table. Yes.
