lady, please calm down

Chapter 170

At the beginning of Youshi.

Chen Chu took Cai Hua, master and servant, back to the mansion in Sajin Lane.

Cai Wei got out of the carriage with Chen Chu's men, looked up and saw the "Chen Mansion" plaque hanging on the vermilion gate with copper nails, she couldn't help squinting and showing a smile.

This house was originally the ancestral house of a family of officials and eunuchs in the Zhou Dynasty. After Ding Wei, the descendants of the officials fled south, Zheng Yi took the opportunity to occupy it and then repaired and decorated it for more than a year.

No, I only lived for four or five years before making a wedding dress for Chen Chu.

The house is very large, with three-way and six-entry courtyards symmetrically formed on the central axis.

The first two courtyards lived in coachmen and servants, Da Baojian and the resident guards also lived in the second courtyard, and the second and third courtyards also served as the host's place to entertain guests.

After the fourth entry, it belongs to the inner house.

The courtyards are connected by corridors and hanging flower doors.

In the back house, there are pavilions, terraces and pavilions with flying eaves and blue tiles, surrounded by mountains and water, with twists and turns, and the end is exquisite and elegant.

In late autumn, there are still evergreen plants such as osmanthus four seasons dotted in it, and even the bleak atmosphere of autumn has faded a lot.

Even though Cai Wei was born in a big family in Tongshan, he was still amazed when he saw this luxurious house.

Thinking again that the mistress of this house is a little wild cat after all, I can't help but feel a little bit smug.

But then, Cai Hua put away her small emotions, because she found that the atmosphere in this house was not right.

On the way to the back house, Chen Chu 'ran into' beautifully dressed maids from time to time.

It was clear that it was cold in late autumn, but there was a servant girl wearing a thin summer shirt with a loose tube top, and when she bowed to Chen Chu, she was very happy.

What's more, some people pretended not to see Chen Chu and the others, chasing and laughing, and 'accidentally' bumped into Chen Chu's arms.

Then he felt sore and weak, with tears in his eyes, and couldn't stop apologizing, very pitiful.

Ru'er, who was walking beside Cai Wei, her eyes were already burning, and she muttered in a low voice: "Third lady, is Chen Dutou's house a fox's den!"

"Are you still headed? Call Chen Dutong from now on!"

Cai Wei, who was following Chen Chu, corrected Ru'er first, then squinted her eyes at the coquettish sluts, and said in a low voice, "The whole city of Caizhou can smell the foul smell in this house."

Then he sighed and shook his head, "This Yu Nong is really a waste!"

That night, a table of noodles was set up in the Houzhai Wangxiang Garden.

The sixth entrance occupies the largest area in the mansion, with a garden in the middle and several independent small courtyards in the east and west.

In the middle is the three-storey main house.

Before the cat came, the main house was naturally vacant for the time being, and Yu Nong chose a yard named Wangxiangyuan to make her own residence.

It is also Chen Chu's current residence.

But besides Chen Chu, Yunong, Cai Wei, and Tie Dan, who were sitting this evening.

Tiedan failed to enter the army, and now lives in a small building in the fourth entrance.

During the dinner, Yunong was in a good mood.

Today's Aunt Chen is not lacking in the flattery and flattery of some ladies in Caizhou City, so naturally her fear of Cai Hua is greatly reduced. Seeing Mrs. Cai at this time, she still has some joy of returning home.

Cai Wei also seemed to be in a good mood.

The toasts are staggered, and Yan Yan is laughing.

This night, Yu Nong thought that the third lady had finally come here, so she graciously gave up Chen Dutong.

The next day.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, Chen Chu got up and went to stay at the Si Yamen.

Cai Hua led Ru'er around the back house seemingly casually, and went specifically to the corner sheltered from the wind.

She was born in a big family, and she knows that lazy maids like to hide in this kind of place.

Two quarters of an hour.

Sure enough, next to Zhanggao Holly behind a yard, I heard a small conversation.

"Lu'e, you go to the master all day long, have you and the concierge Wang Xiaoer finished?"

"Wang Xiaoer? He's a fart! He's just a jolly troublemaker in his spare time."

"Hey~ When we were friends, we called him little brother, but now we call him troublemaker." The woman sneered in a low voice.

Lu'e seemed a little annoyed, and also exposed the other party's old background, "Ruyi, I didn't fight like you anyway! At the beginning of the month, you just took care of your broken bones, and you couldn't wait to hook up with the new master before your body recovered."

After Sijigui, a few feet away, Ru'er looked at Cai Wei in shock.

'Broken Bones' is a prescription used by women to induce pregnancy.

Cai Wei still squinted her eyes and smiled lightly, as expected.

The conversation between Empress Dongqing continued, and the woman named Ruyi said angrily: "Who knows that old ghost Zheng is so short-lived! It was in vain for me to expend so much effort and make me suffer such a great crime. If nothing happens to him, I will lift him up now." For my aunt!"

"By the way, speaking of my aunt, I heard someone say a few days ago that my lord, this Aunt Chen, was originally the elder sister of the attic."

"A sister who rides thousands of people can be an aunt. We are better than my sister! If I can climb into Zheng Dutong's bed, I can climb into Chen Dutong's bed."

When Ru'er heard these maids talking about Yunong behind her back, she couldn't help frowning, and tugged on Cai Hua's sleeve, wanting to step forward and scold them.

Cai Wei curled her lips, and then took Ru'er to walk away quietly.

"Ruyi, I know your ability to seduce people, not to mention Auntie, I would believe in your trick even if you became the big lady of this family!"

"Ha ha."

"Ruyi, if you become a big lady, don't forget to mention me more in front of the master."

"Hehe, then you can lend me three taels of silver first. Yurong Xiangzhuang has released a new lip balm. I'll go buy one."

"I have no money"

"Fart! Don't pretend that I don't know. There is chaos in Moon Mansion. You stole a Ruci brush and took it out for money!"

"Don't filthy people are innocent."

Cai Wei and Ru'er gradually walked away, and the conversation behind them was no longer heard.

"Third lady, are you going to pretend you don't know?" Seeing that Cai Hua would not complain to Yunong, Ru'er was a little anxious.

"." Cai Wei cast a sideways glance at Ru'er and said nothing.

"Third lady, even if you and Zhao An don't deal with each other, it's nothing to do with it."

"I still need you to teach me what to do?"

Cai Hua scolded and interrupted Ru'er.

Ru'er shut her mouth embarrassingly.

Afterwards, Cai Wei called Uncle Zhang out of the mansion and went straight to Caizhou Renshizi Alley.

Renshizixiang, as the name suggests, is a market for trading people.

In the alley, sallow and emaciated boys and girls, and girls in ragged clothes stood outside the doors of shops like commodities.

Ren Yazi, on the other hand, would not stop patrolling among passers-by, looking for buyers.

Some of these people for sale are family members of prisoners who have been implicated, some were sold by their parents because their families could not afford to support them, and some came from unknown sources.

Anyway, the worse the year is, the more prosperous the market is.

Among them, those teenage girls are the best ones to attack, but Cai Hua's eyes are not on these girls at all.

Until a person spotted Cai Wei who was dressed in expensive clothes, he took the initiative to talk to him, "Miss, do you want a boy or a girl? I have children from six or seven years old to nurses and health servants in their 30s and [-]s." .”

Cai Wei took a look at the man's teeth, and said, "I want a girl, good family."

Ren Yazi couldn't help being disappointed when he heard this.

Liangjiazi can also serve as servants, but they are contract workers with contracts ranging from three to five to seven years.

Compared with the slave trade of slaves, this kind of lease-like business will have much less commission.

However, fly legs are meat after all. Ren Yazi led Cai Wei into the shop and introduced several cooks, wet nurses, and embroiderers one after another, but Cai Wei didn't like any of them.

Ren Yazi finally lost his patience and complained: "You woman, did you come here to amuse me, if you are not sincere, go play around elsewhere."

Cai Wei glanced at Ren Yazi, then noticed two thick women squatting in the corner, and walked over.

"Are you also planning to sign a contract to work for others?" Cai Wei looked at the two of them.

When the two women saw someone questioning them, they stood up cautiously, and a woman who seemed more courageous replied: "My lady, my family has been arrested as a young man, the family has no pillars, and the three children have no children." You have to eat, her man"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that the other party was chattering endlessly, Cai Wei hurriedly stopped and asked again, "Are you working for people?"

"Yes, yes" the woman gave the answer.

"What do you call them?"

"My name is Li Cuilian, and her name is Li Zhaodi."

"What did you do before?" Cai Hua asked again.

"I'm farming."

Cai Wei pursed her lips and smiled, as if she liked the two honest women very much, then asked Cui Yuan to take out two silver coins each weighing two or two taels and handed them over, "This is a reward for you, not counted as wages. Inside. Go and work at my house."

The two women stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't believe it was true, they even forgot to thank them.

Although Ren Yazi next to him had lost his enthusiasm, he had been paying attention to the situation here. Seeing Cai Wei's generous shot, he hurriedly moved over shyly.

However, before he could speak, Cai Wei first handed over a silver ingot.

Ren Yazi was overjoyed, this ingot was more than ten times more than the commission, and he could not help but salute repeatedly, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

"Hee hee, you don't take this money for nothing."

"Eh? What do you mean, Madam?" Ren Yazi asked in confusion.

Cai Hua covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, then turned to look at the woman, "Li Cuilian, slap him as hard as you can."

"Oh."

Li Cuilian was also sincere, she raised her strong arm and slapped her without any hesitation when she heard the sound.

There was a crisp sound in the chaotic store, and the man's teeth spun around twice before he stood still, blood was already dripping from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.

Only then did he understand the meaning of the phrase 'You don't take this money for nothing'.
Cai Wei stretched out her hand to break Ren Yazi's chin, looked left and right at the injury, and was very satisfied.

"Hehe, Li Cuilian, Brother Li Zhao, right? I hired you. Cuiyuan, bring someone to sign the contract."

Li Cuilian smiled honestly when she heard the words, but then she hesitated and said: "Miss, we are clumsy, we can't do fine work, don't delay your work, are you going to let me do some serious work?"

"Hee hee, you don't need to be careful, you will always hit people, right? Some of the cheap hooves in my family are itchy. Let me lend you two slaps."

While speaking, Cuiyuan had already signed a contract with Ren Yazi, Li Cuilian and Li Zhaodi stepped forward to press their fingerprints, and then went to the government to file for the record, the contract was considered complete.

No, Cai Hua called Ren Yazi to her again.

Although Ren Yazi got a huge windfall today, he was really afraid of this charming woman who always laughed when she spoke.

"Mistress, what else can I order?" Ren Yazi was respectful, but he stood a foot away from Cai Wei.

"Go, you also go to my house."

"what?"

"Ah what, I have a big deal for you."

"It's a big deal, isn't it?"

"Selling slaves."

"Oh! How many people are there?" Ren Yazi immediately became interested.

Cai Hua grabbed the braids hanging from her ears to her chest with one hand, and twirled the braids with the other hand. She tilted her head slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that she hadn't figured out a ready figure.

Immediately she shook her head distressedly, acting like an innocent and innocent girl, but the words that came out of her mouth were
"Anyway, there are a lot of them, let alone dozens of people, and they are all sold to you."

Ru'er at the side shrank her neck subconsciously when she heard the words.

Recently, San Niangzi has become more submissive, so much so that she even forgot, San Niangzi's notoriety of being cruel and merciless.
