Chapter 187 The Wretched Man ([-])

Since Nanmenyue has graciously let the past go, giving her a chicken is a matter of little effort.

Looking at Lou Zaicai's abnormality, Nanmen Yueyun was in a fog, and he always felt that Lou Zaicai was very weird today, but he couldn't say the reason. He could only think that it was because he had something to do with him.

Thinking about it, she felt a little guilty. She just wanted to tease Lou Zaicai and didn't want him to pay so much. It seems that iron cocks can still pluck their hair.

After a while, he saw Lou Zaocai catching a small capon coming over. He tied the chicken's paws with straw and vines, threw the chicken beside the stove, and came over and told Nanmenyue: "This chicken If your mother asks, it’s not easy for you to answer, just say you bought it at the market.”

Nanmenyue nodded and waved at him, it was a bit annoying to keep nagging like this.

Lou Zaocai had just left the yard when Lou Xiulan came back driving the carriage.Seeing Nanmen Yue sitting there, he called her over to help her.

Nanmenyue stretched her waist, and then walked over. She didn't see Nanmenxue's figure, so she asked casually, "Where's Xueer? Didn't she go with you?"

Lou Xiulan saw that she knew that she took the initiative to care about Xue'er, and she felt relieved. She took a large bag of clothes from Nanmenyue from the car, and began to murmur: "Xue'er has gone to work in the teahouse. I In the past few days, the entrusted person has helped her find work, it is said that she is working as a singing girl in a tea house, and there are dozens of taels of silver every month."

Mingxiang Pavilion is a famous big teahouse in the capital. Some officials in the capital lead their families in and out there. She is not worried that Nanmenxue will be bullied there, and she is near Lou Zaocai's rouge shop. , I am very relieved.

"From now on, only Kefu can help my mother with the starching and washing. If you are free, come and help."

Nanmenyue felt that this was good, because washing those dirty clothes was tiring and hard work, and she only earned so much money. If the academy hadn't just started, she really didn't want Lou Xiulan to continue.

"I have to go to the second uncle's rouge shop later. Just now I went to the street to buy a chicken, and you asked Kefu to kill it."

After saying that, he took the reins and drove the carriage out of the yard.

Now that she is one of the owners of the rouge shop, of course she has to go there to see the situation. Didn't Nanmenxue tell her that her second uncle asked her to go again at night, thinking about going anytime, she always went, so she This time period has passed, and this meeting is just a good time to take a look at the passenger flow situation.

Nanmenyue and Lou Zaocai arrived at the rouge shop almost at the same time.She found a place to park the carriage, and got out of the carriage while looking for the location of Lou Zaocai's rouge shop, while observing the pedestrians on the street.

The Beiku Street area is considered an old street in the west of Beijing. Although there are a lot of people at this time, it seems that they are all elderly and simple people, and they don't seem to come to buy rouge.

Lou Zaocai just opened the store, and when he saw a girl who looked like Nanmen Yue, he stopped her: "Yue'er? Yue'er?"

Nanmenyue turned her head and saw that it was Lou Zaocai, so she looked up at his shop. It was old and old, without even a signboard. It looked like a place selling rouge. She followed Lou Zaocai's invitation into the store.

The store is not small, but because the shelves inside are not properly arranged, it looks very crowded, and the goods displayed on the shelves are also in disorder, and there is no desire to buy when you look at it:
"Second Uncle, if I were a girl who came into your shop, I would definitely turn around and leave."

Lou Zaocai didn't take it seriously, and leaned against the bar counter to pick out his ears leisurely: "You're right, Second Uncle never comes to girls' houses in this store."

Those who come here are all young ladies like Widow Sun who are eager to die. This type of person does not have high requirements, as long as the price is affordable.

"You can't go on like this. If you really want to give me 300% of the income of the Rouge Shop, you have to listen to me and rectify the store. I calculated it, and it will cost about [-] taels of silver."

We have to get a signboard, paint the inside of the house, and refurbish the shelves, and there are probably only so many.

When Lou Zaicai heard that he wanted to use 300 taels, he quickly shook his head and refused: "No, 300 taels is a huge sum. If I put it in for nothing, your second aunt will still cut me off."

The rouge shop doesn't earn 300 taels a year, how dare he take the risk.

"Since you are so afraid of Second Aunt, why not let me talk about it."

When Lou Zaocai heard this, he hurriedly came over with a smile on his face: "Don't be like this, Yue'er, my second uncle is also in trouble, don't look at me on the surface, in fact, I spent all the money I saved back then. "

At that time, the rouge was spread in the center of the street, and everyone knew that he was the second brother-in-law of the Nanmen Grand Master, and the daughters of the officials' families also came to buy the rouge.

Thinking that Nanmenyue is the one who will be the queen in the future, and these girls might be able to enter the palace as concubines in the future. Taking advantage of the good relationship with the queen's second uncle before, maybe they won't be embarrassing when they enter the palace .

During the period when Lou made money, he also fought fiercely. He sold a box of rouge for a few taels of silver by dozens of times, and he earned a lot of money, so this would be considered a new rouge shop business In times of recession, he can also cross his legs with Wang and do nothing, and he doesn't have to worry about money.

He didn't think about making money in this dilapidated store, as long as he didn't lose money, he wouldn't be willing to spend money to rectify it.

Nanmenyue looked at him thinking too much, and quickly explained: "Don't worry, I'm looking for the second aunt to talk about the rouge shop. I will keep your nonsense secret. My second aunt is coming back today."

"Well, I guess it will be home by now." Wang's sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat son, and she led the whole family back to her mother's house to celebrate. Lou Zaicai thought that if she left, she would be able to fool around with the grandson widow So I excused that the rouge shop was busy and didn't go.

Mrs. Wang has been away for three days, and she should be back today.

"You have to keep your mouth shut when you talk to your second aunt." He was worried, and urged again and again.

Nanmenyue nodded again helplessly, and did not stay long at the rouge shop. She came out of the rouge shop, and did not rush back to the carriage, but walked around the rouge shop to check the surrounding situation.

After walking forward for several steps, I always vaguely felt that someone was following me, but when I turned around, I didn't see anything unusual, so I guessed that I was suspicious, so I continued to move forward.

After wandering around, I found that there was no need to clean up the rouge shop at all. It was surrounded by residential buildings, and the location was a long way from the center of the street. It seemed that there was a way to bring the business back to life.

She turned around and walked back, almost bumped into a man at the corner, raised her eyes and glared at the man, he was touching his chin, staring at her wretchedly, it was not a good thing to look at.

 Thanks to my family Miao Lele for the reward, and another beautiful girl, Lele, who voted for the monthly ticket. Today, I will add two more updates for the two beautiful girls, and tomorrow I will announce the answer to mine digging, and the list of the top five fans.
