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

The guests bought their favorite fabrics, and after paying the money, they reluctantly left - they also wanted to watch and gossip, and it seemed that Diao Nu embezzled the owner's assets, and the owner couldn't bear it and came to the door.

Excited just to hear it.

It's a pity that as soon as they left, the boss waved his hand, and the fierce face and the stupid big guy immediately closed the door and locked it from the inside.

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

Satisfied, Li Baolu gave him an appreciative look, sat down on the chair, and glanced at the cloth store. Except for the square-inch counter at the checkout, the rest of the counters were covered with different fabrics. A row of wooden cabinets, divided into four horizontal and vertical five, a total of twenty large grids, each grid is placed with different fabrics.

On the north wall further past, there were more than a dozen sets of ready-made clothes hanging. Li Baolu saw that three spaces were vacant, obviously the ready-made clothes in that place had been sold.

The business of this cloth shop is not bad.

Li Baolu twitched her lips and continued to look around, pointing to the small door to the west and asking, "Is that the tea room?"

The buddy lowered his head tremblingly, "Yes."

"Where is the second floor?"

"The second floor is the place to entertain distinguished guests. Some expensive silks and satins have to be picked upstairs."

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

The man thought it over and said, "This street in the south of the city is the busiest, and there will always be distinguished guests in need."

"Are you the only guy in the store? Don't your mother-in-law, son, and daughter also work in the store?"

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

The guy's face was full of cautious organizational language, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

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

"Okay, just watch it." The boss waved his hand, and the four younger brothers rushed up to the second floor and the back warehouse screaming.

The clerk shook his hands profusely with sweat and said, "Madam can't do it, can't do it ma'am, these fabrics are very expensive, if they are dirty or torn, they can't be sold."

"It's okay," Li Baolu said with a slight smile, "Anyway, I don't intend to sell it anymore. You lose so much every year. Wouldn't it be stupid for me to open a cloth shop again?"

She had a smile on her face, but she stared at him with a cold gaze, and said in a word: "At that time, I will ask you to farm the land to earn back the money I lost."

She murmured: "You are the servants who signed the death contract. My wife doesn't even have the money to repay the debt. When the time comes to plant the land when the farming is busy, and then pull it to the city to do coolies when the farming is slack, even if you only have twenty yuan a day." , earn a lot in a year..."

The guy limp on the ground, if someone else said this, he would not believe it, these rich people have the best face, who would treat the servant like that?

Do you still want face?

But their wives are child brides-in-law, how poor are those who can send their daughters to be child brides-in-law?

Their wives are still picking up money? Look, it's only been a year since I read the account, and now it's coming to my door, and I don't have the heart of the wives of the Houfu at all.

Seeing that the five people also moved down the silver hidden by the shopkeeper in the living room on the second floor, the man did not dare to hide it anymore, kowtowed and said: "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me, the cloth shop actually makes money, but it is the shopkeeper's job." He made false accounts, and he took all the surplus money and the money recorded as losses!"

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

The man gritted his teeth, kowtowed and said, "I took it home. I heard that the shopkeeper bought a lot of land in Baoding, and, moreover, he even sent money to the lady..."

"How can he buy land as a slave?"

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

"He's so courageous, isn't he afraid that the concubine's room will get involved and run away?"

"How dare she, we are Zhongyonghou's Mansion..." The waiter paused, and changed his words: "We are the servants of the Imperial Academy, if she runs away, the shopkeeper has a hundred ways to make her life worse than death, but the shopkeeper also guards against it." When accepting her, let her family write a deed of sale, but not register in the yamen."

Li Baolu understood that if she didn't go to the yamen to register, she would be good in the yamen and could buy land, but if she escaped, as a servant of Zhongyonghou's mansion, it wouldn't be too easy to temporarily register as a slave with a deed of selling herself. At that time, he could arrest people and torture them in the name of tracking down escaped slaves.

Li Baolu twitched her lips, clapped her hands and said, "That's good, I thought I was going to lose some money for nothing."

"We must find out the contract of sale of the concubine's room in a while. There is a lot of property under her name."

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

"Ma'am, everything is here. We found a box of silver in the darkroom 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 boards in the living room. When I opened it, I found this cloth bag. Look what's inside."

Li Baolu opened it and couldn't help laughing. She took out a stack of papers and said to the five people, "I found the things before I went to his house. This is the land deed, um, not only There are those in Baoding, and those in the suburbs of Beijing, oh, there are quite a lot of land here, and the ones in the suburbs of Beijing alone have 83 mu.”

The five people were drooling looking at the land deed, and they got rich. They found this out. If they divided it into 30%, how much would they get?

The little abacus in the hearts of the five people crackled.

The clerk was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect the shopkeeper to hide such an important thing in the shop.

Li Baolu was thoughtful, "Since the title deed is here, will the concubine's deed of prostitution also be here?"

Li Baolu and the five of them looked up at the roof together, and said stupidly: "Boss, I have searched all over the second floor, including the roof and beams!"

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

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

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

But the four of them didn't come down, but moved around on it, turned over the beams and the roof before sliding down, and said disappointedly: "There are only two things hidden..."

The buddy and Heart had lost their words, they stared dumbfounded, and thought in unison in their hearts: the shopkeeper is so good at hiding things, and these people are so good at finding things too!

Li Baolu glanced at the deed of sale first, then turned around and handed it to Hongtao, saying, "Erlin will come over later and ask him to take it to the yamen for registration. This matter must be done today."

Then I went to look at the deed, "No. 36 Liu'er Hutong?" Li Baolu sneered and said, "I'm well prepared. I have the land and the house. Do you want to redeem yourself next?"

The man lowered his head, trying to minimize his presence.

The boss's eyes were shining, and he leaned over and asked, "Ma'am, does this house count?"

Li Baolu glanced at him and said, "Is Mrs. Ben the kind of person who doesn't count her words?"

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

The five people were so excited that they almost shouted. The cloth and the silver on the counter were clearly placed, and they were mentally prepared to count them, but they didn’t expect that the house deed they found would also be counted in it. Already have land?

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

Li Baolu put away the property deed, and handed over the few ingots of gold in the box to the boss for safekeeping, then turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to his house to have a look."

The steward's house is in the third alley behind the shop, which is rented by the Zhongyonghou Mansion to the servants in the shop, and there are two taels of silver in the monthly account.

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

Mrs. Zhou is the big woman in charge. At this time, she is pinching her waist and pointing at the forehead of the concubine Liu Hong, cursing: "You little bastard who only eats but doesn't do anything. It's because your master is not at home so you can be lazy. Right, I know how to hook up with men on weekdays, tell you to do something to push back, what's the use of raising you?"

After saying that, she got angry, grabbed her flesh with her fingers and twisted fiercely, Liu Hong bit her lip tightly and dared not speak, she shrank her shoulders and hugged the water basin on the ground.

Miss Zhou was even more angry when she didn't hear the exclamation. She punched her on the back a few times and said angrily: "The gourd with its mouth sawn off, you have been raising you for so many years for nothing..."

There was a loud "bang", and the door of her house shook twice before falling to the ground with a "snap".

Mrs. 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 glanced at the girl who was knocked to the ground, a glint flashed in his eyes, he looked at Mrs. Zhou coldly and said, "Isn't this the courtyard where the servants of Master Gu's family live?"

Mrs. Zhou pinched her waist and said angrily: "I don't know whether it is Hanlin or not. Our family belongs to the Zhongyonghou Mansion. If you dare to kick my door, believe it or not..."

When she saw Li Baolu and Hongtao coming out from behind her, her voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had strangled her neck, and she couldn't speak.

She didn't know Li Baolu, but she knew Hongtao, who was the big girl next to the second wife, and every time she came in to pay her respects, she had to curry favor with the person. It is said that she was also assigned to the third master and third grandmother just like them.

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

The four rushed into the yard screaming "Aww", quickly kicked open the doors of each room and rushed in. After a while, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came from each room.

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

Mrs. Zhou reacted quickly, and rushed into the room with an "oh", and saw her cabinet opened, and the newly made clothes inside were put on the table, and the old clothes used to cover up were thrown all over the floor. yes.
