[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

This is also a reason, especially for the family of Boss Qian, who offended people in their hometown, and the land was taken by them, so they couldn't go back to the countryside.It is even more difficult to live without a house of your own in the city-there are many civilians in the city, but the lives of ordinary people in the south and north cities are really not as good as the slaves in their own mansion.

I wonder if Zhang Cuihua, who had misunderstood Li Nian just now, told Li Nian that he still wanted to find out what Boss Qian meant, and whether he had any thoughts about his son's future.Otherwise, while acting as a slave to himself, while looking forward to his son's success, it's not easy to treat himself as a master.

The use of the word "Qiancheng" is not something that can be used by a shop assistant or an apprentice. Li Nian couldn't help but secretly took a look at Zhang Cuihua. Did he not think wrong just now?

Zhang Cuihua heard that Nanny Chen was coming with Yingchun in her arms, and waved Li Nian back to see her daughter, which made Li Nian wonder: the master only has one daughter, and when she grows old, no one will throw pots and flags under her knees, maybe Are you really moved?

Fortunately, Zhang Cuihua's eyes were full of the little girl Yingchun, so she didn't notice any difference in Li Nian's expression.The little girl was five months old, and she was very proficient at turning over. As soon as she was placed on the couch, her buttocks tilted, her legs kicked, and her arms swung, she turned herself over.

Just turning over didn't count, she still tried her best to support the front half of her body with her arms, raised her little head, and smiled at Zhang Cuihua. Her pink lips grinned, revealing the same pink gums. It was a standard toothless smile. The upturned eyebrows and the infinite dependence in the eyes made Zhang Cuihua feel that the bottle of repairing fluid she gave Jia Amnesty finally didn't need to be distressed anymore.

It's all about repaying the love he gave to himself as an angel.

Zhang Cuihua declared to the outside world that she would take her daughter to keep a filial piety, and she would never go out on the bright side.Besides raising buns, where else to do?The result of playing with Xiao Baozi every day is that Yingchun is more dependent on her than Mother Chen, and she has not developed the temperament of being a mother if she has milk. No, the first thing she did when she saw Zhang Cuihua was to be cute and seduce Zhang Cuihua with a smile to hug her.

After playing with Yingchun for a while, Zhang Cuihua asked Nanny Chen, who was joking next to her, "How long have you been here?"

Nanny Chen was taken aback for a moment, but replied honestly: "It's been a month and a half."

I remember it really clearly.Zhang Cuihua knew in her heart that Nanny Chen was worried about her child, which is also human nature.Yin said to Nanny Chen: "You go to Li Nian the day after tomorrow, just tell me what I said, and let him take you back to see the child."

Nanny Chen's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Madam, I don't want children, so I don't need to go back and look."

Zhang Cuihua knew that she had misunderstood her meaning, so she smiled: "How can you not think about it, I won't see Yingchun for a while, I'm afraid she will be hungry and cold."

Nanny Chen confessed to Zhang Cuihua faster: "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of the girl, and I dare not let the girl make any mistakes. Please don't drive me back, madam. If I go back, everyone in the family will have to go back." starving."

"I just asked you to go back to see if the child is okay, not to push you back. I can see that you have devoted yourself to taking care of the girl these days, otherwise I would not let you go back to see the child." Zhang Cuihua gave Nanny Chen a meal. A reassurance.

Madam Chen's gratitude made Zhang Cuihua feel that it was inhumane for her to separate mother and child.But those who should be instructed still have to be instructed: "When you go home, you have to say what you should say and what you shouldn't say. You have to know a little bit. If you say something you shouldn't say, don't say that you won't be allowed to take care of the girl anymore. Even Dingyin will chase after you." back."

Nanny Chen promised again and again that after returning to her room and coaxing Yingchun to sleep, she took out the two-month medical records she had received and counted them again and again.The master's family is not a harsh person, and the monthly requisitions given to him are issued at the beginning of each month, one tael of silver a month, and two taels of silver in two months, and his family can't have so much left in a year.

What about the ten taels of fixed silver at the beginning, with those ten taels, the owner can definitely buy a mother Chen back.I heard that my wife chose me because she was afraid that Nanny Chen in the market would be unclean.Such a good master, how could I have the nerve not to take care of the girl?

Looking at Yingchun who was already sleeping soundly, Nanny Chen's heart didn't know where it went.On the second day, he took care of him more meticulously, for fear that he would show a little negligence, and he deserved not being able to go home. If the host family no longer uses him, it would be called Tiantian should not.

Li Nian came to answer Zhang Cuihua before dinner: "Boss Qian's son is a good reader, and Boss Qian is not willing to let his son sell himself. Considering that there are a lot of monthly records in the house, the three of them have monthly records. His son alone can afford it."

"Then I didn't say that I waited for his son to pass the exam, what will his family do?" I never heard that my son became an official, and my wife was still a slave.

Li Nian also felt that Boss Qian was too dissatisfied, and he didn't have any good words to say: "I don't think the master is kind, so I will cry and beg in front of the master, and then redeem myself and go out."

This calculation is good.Zhang Cuihua sneered in her heart, because she looked so taken advantage of, she first used her own money to give up her Jinshi status to change the lintel, and then used her money to give up her status as a Jinshi to suppress herself. Don't even want money, just let him go? !

Even if it was expected, it still can't help but make people angry.Zhang Cuihua said to Li Nian, "Go and call Boss Qian."

Li Nian went to call for someone, and Zhang Cuihua was also sorting out her thoughts here.No need to ask, Boss Qian dared to have such small thoughts because he saw that he was just a woman, and he didn't look like he had a backer behind him. He hoped that his son would be famous and have an official status. Can swallow this bad breath.

I have even done things to influence the next emperor several times. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang in the Rongguo Mansion are so tormented that they have no interest in tossing around anymore. How can they not even handle a slave?

Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, if the rules are not established now, it is impossible to say that when Boss Qian’s son really becomes an official, he still feels that he, the master who once bought his parents, is a stain, and he should be like Jia Yucun. Same, out of sight, out of mind.

When Boss Qian followed Li Nian to the main hall, he saw Zhang Cuihua's gloomy face.After he carefully asked Zhang Cuihua to greet him, Zhang Cuihua didn't tell him about the idea of ​​"beginning with etiquette and then fighting with soldiers", and asked straight to the point: "Boss Qian, do you feel that you have been treated badly after entering the mansion from your family?"

Mr. Qian repeatedly denied it, saying that he was grateful to his wife for giving his family a way to survive.Zhang Cuihua seemed to have listened, and the expression on her face became better: "It's a good thing you didn't treat you badly. I heard that your son's illness is almost cured, and I want to hear what your plan is."

own plan?Boss Qian had already told Li Nian that his son's illness was almost cured, and he couldn't just prevaricate the illness, so the old man showed hesitation on his face: "I only have this son, so naturally I think of him well."

"Think about your son." Zhang Cuihua said flatly: "Then your family is ready to redeem the money?"

Redemption money?Boss Qian looked at Zhang Cuihua with some puzzlement: "Madam, the servant's family didn't want to redeem themselves." There is food, drink and clothes in the mansion on a monthly basis. , Where can I find such a good reason after redeeming myself.

"You think it's good for your son, but you don't want to redeem yourself?" Zhang Cuihua looked at Boss Qian with a puzzled face, and then turned to look at Li Nian: "If I remember correctly, is there a sentence in the court saying, "Fan Those who are born with improper backgrounds, such as Menzi, Chang Sui, Pony, Yidi, Groom, Zaoli, Ma Kuai, Bu Kuai, Yan Kuai, Jailers, Wu Zuo, and descendants of Archers are not allowed to take the exam. "Boss Qian sold himself into slavery, so his son won't be able to take the imperial examination either."

Li Nian was dumbfounded. He only felt that Boss Qian was acting unethically and was suspected of borrowing chickens to lay eggs. He didn't expect his master to catch his weakness all at once. Think about the imperial examination, dream!

Boss Qian was also stunned. He used to be a farmer, but his land was taken away and he hoped that his son would succeed in the imperial examination.Now tell him that his son can't even pass the imperial examination, what hope does the family have?

Li Nian took a step forward, facing Zhang Cuihua, and actually explained to Boss Qian: "It doesn't mean that the imperial examination is completely impossible. As long as you apply for an official and change your career, after four generations, and your relatives don't go back to low profession, you can still pass the imperial examination." . Otherwise, I have two sons myself, and I can redeem them early, so that they can study well, so that they can honor their ancestors."

Zhang Cuihua looked at Boss Qian firmly: "You understand, why don't you go back and discuss it with your family, and think about it as a master and servant. Now I will ask Li Nian to go to the government to redeem your body. foundation."

Boss Qian saluted Zhang Cuihua in a numb manner, and went back to the servant's room stiffly to discuss with his wife.Li Nian was still a little puzzled: "Master told Boss Qian that his son can't take the imperial examination today, isn't he afraid of scaring the snake?"

Afraid?Why be afraid?Boss Qian's family of three were all in his own hands, and his son had to obey his arrangements honestly if he wanted to take the imperial examination, otherwise let alone the imperial examination, a crime of deceiving his family background was enough for his family to go to Caishikou for a reunion.

"It's true that this person is high-spirited, but he thinks others are fools, which is a little too much."

"Yes, the master is still kind. Otherwise, when Boss Qian's son is found out by the government when he goes to take the exam, his life will be ruined." Li Nian was so impressed by his master that he couldn't think of anything else— —The master always sees things unexpectedly, don't think that I am older than the master, and I am still far behind in what I can do.

On the second day, Zhang Cuihua asked Li Nian's daughter-in-law to come and take care of Yingchun with him, and Li Nian took Chen Nanny home to see the child. This is to let Nanny Chen remember her current identity at all times, and say everything else.

When Li Nian came back with Nanny Chen, Nanny Chen came up to kowtow to Zhang Cuihua directly, expressing the whole family's gratitude to Zhang Cuihua.Zhang Cuihua only said that she knew about this, and that she was waiting for the Qian family now.

Four members of the Qian family came to the main hall together, and they also knelt down to Zhang Cuihua together.It wasn't Boss Qian who spoke, but his son who was said to be good at reading.The son of the Qian family was in his twenties, with a frail figure and the appearance of a scholar, without the appearance of a farming family at all.

Zhang Cuihua was already displeased with this appearance, and she had a decision in her heart.

The son of the Qian family is very good at talking. First, on behalf of his family, he thanked Zhang Cuihua for saving the lives of the whole family when the Qian family was in the most difficult time.

Regarding this, Zhang Cuihua just waved her hand and told him that it was just a matter of your will, and that she needed manpower at that time, and the boss Qian just met her requirements.Not to mention saving them from danger, she herself is not that noble.

The son of the Qian family didn't expect that there are people in this world who don't want to listen to good words, and the words he thought up at home are a little bit hard to say.He had finally read the book and still had a bit of quick wit. He also said that although Zhang Cuihua did not expect to repay her kindness, the Qian family could not repay their kindness.

Zhang Cuihua was a little impatient, she just thought that she would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, and then she told the son of the Qian family that she had made it very clear just now that she bought people for her own use, not for the sake of favoring others.If the son of the Qian family only had these words, then the whole family could do what they should do.

The son of the Qian family's face turned green. Didn't it mean that this woman has a dead husband and no backer? Why doesn't he understand that if he gets a good grade in school, it will only benefit her, the former master, and he can also be her backer?

With this hope in mind, the son of the Qian family thought that once he was successful in his studies, he would do his best to repay Zhang Cuihua's kindness no matter whether Zhang Cuihua bought someone on purpose or not.

Such blunt words did not make Zhang Cuihua's expression any better. She told the son of Qian's family directly that the imperial examination is not something he can take if he wants, it depends on Zhang Cuihua's mood.

The son of the Qian family was defeated, and Mrs. Qian appeared on the stage. She used the trick of crying and making trouble, crying and trying to hug Zhang Cuihua's thigh, but she was kicked away by Zhang Cuihua unabashedly: "Come to the mansion!" For such a long time, you still don’t know the rules. You treat it like this is your village, cry and make trouble at everything, and others will go over if they are afraid of you making a fuss?” With this ability, why don’t you make trouble when others rob your family’s land?

Boss Qian could see that his family had been rejected by the master.He kowtowed to Zhang Cuihua, and said: "I know this, my master already knows about my little scheme, but I ask my master to fulfill my selfishness for the sake of my children and grandchildren."

This is a human saying, Zhang Cuihua didn't embarrass Boss Qian, and directly asked Li Nian to produce an IOU.The son of the Qian family was literate, and seeing the amount of silver on the IOU, it was five taels more silver than his parents and younger sister, so he questioned Zhang Cuihua angrily.

Zhang Cuihua made him angry: "Your parents and sister don't spend money for food and lodging with me, or for clothes and bedding? They don't have monthly cases, how did you get cured?" I really think I am Kaishan What about Tang?

Zhang Cuihua made it clear from the very beginning that she bought people for use, not to donate money when she saw injustice. The son of the Qian family couldn't find an excuse for moral kidnapping, so he had to hand over the IOU to Boss Qian.

What Zhang Cuihua wanted was for the son of the Qian family to sign this IOU—the reason for borrowing the money was written clearly on the IOU. Once the Qian family escaped and did not want to repay the money, the son of the Qian family would fail the exams and fail the exam. Just relying on evidence in his early days can make him fall back into the dust.Don't think about taking revenge on Zhang Cuihua by using your official position.

Seeing that the son of the Qian family didn't want to sign, Li Nian couldn't stand it any longer: "Mr. Qian, back then your parents took your sister to sell themselves in order to allow you to be cured. Now it is also for your future that you have to leave such a good man. Master. If you don’t sign, even if you pay back the money in the future, the government will still be able to find out about your parents’ betrayal.”

Is it true that if you don’t sign the IOU, there’s nothing you can do about it?If you want to take the imperial examination, you have to get the nod from your master, and then you will go to the government to walk around, eliminating the traces of Boss Qian who sold himself as a slave.Otherwise, if Boss Qian really worked with him for a few days, he would be able to offend the Lord for their family?

The son of the Qian family understood, and after reluctantly signing the IOU, he cupped his fists towards Zhang Cuihua: "Mrs. Sun is a great kindness, and Qian will never forget it. If you achieve something in the future, you will be rewarded generously."

Zhang Cuihua knew that the Mrs. Sun he was talking about was herself—when she applied for household registration, people naturally used a false name—and she continued his words without changing her face: "I also know that I would rather bully a white-headed man than bully a young man, so I did it." Ken will lend you even his worth." I know you're threatening me, but I'm not afraid.

The son of the Qian family was so choked that he couldn't speak. The eldest Qian took his wife and daughter to kowtow to Zhang Cuihua, and then went out to pack his things.After they had all left, Li Nian asked carefully:

"Master, my slave sees that Boss Qian's son is not open-minded, so he just let his family go, will he?" In the future, he will really become an official and come back to take revenge on you?There is not a single man in the mansion, who will support the wife and girls at that time.

"Then wait until he becomes an official." Zhang Cuihua didn't care.

It's not that Zhang Cuihua is the one who cares about him, the son of the Qian family doesn't know much about learning, but his character is not as good as Jia Yucun's.Don't forget, Jia Yucun wants to restore the old official, so he has to go through Lin Ruhai to get to the Rongguo Mansion, because the son of the Qian family wants to be an official?

If Zhang Cuihua saw it dead, he would never even think about it in his life!

In this world, are there any peasant children who have passed the Jinshi examination? Yes, there are every subject.But those peasant children who passed the imperial examination are all tough and responsible people.Which one is the son of the Qian family?

When something happened, his parents and his sister sold themselves together, and he treated his illness in the hospital with peace of mind. After he was cured, he wanted to borrow his own money to study for the imperial examination.What does it have to do with tenacity and responsibility if you don't get what you want?

There is no need to tell Zhang Cuihua that the son of the Qian family is well educated, maybe he will pass the exam.Boss Qian can only read a few words, so it is obvious that the whole family is doing their best to provide for this so-called son who can read.

There is no family history, and the books are read from others. Those who open private schools in the countryside will be the top of the sky if they pass the exam by themselves-those who win the exam can take in people to join the field to make a fortune, or directly give them to the school. People who are officials are aides and masters, who cares about being a private school teacher.

And the Qian family's land is easily taken away by others, which shows that he has no connections. The person who is a teacher for the son of the Qian family either has no friendship with the son of the Qian family, or has no connections himself, otherwise he should always replace his students It's right to get ahead.

But it didn't.

It can be seen that the son of the Qian family has no contacts, no money, and no real talents and knowledge. If such a person can also succeed, the person who makes him succeed or the emperor, Zhang Cuihua does not mind giving him a fire.

Seeing that his master was so determined, Li Nian stopped worrying about useless thoughts. He had other matters to discuss with Zhang Cuihua: "Look, master, do we have to hire a tent?" As long as the people in the house eat and drink, I can barely deal with it.Now that there are so many properties, if you still keep the accounts by yourself, the master can rest assured that he has no idea.

"Yes, I wanted to see if Boss Qian really wanted to stay in the mansion and let his son take care of our mansion's accounts. Who knew he was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf." Zhang Cuihua also felt a little bit sorry.

This is because she herself took it for granted at the beginning, thinking that Boss Qian was born as a farmer, so he should have some simple character.Who knows that there is no simplicity, some are just shrewd and small calculations.

After hearing this, Li Nian could only sigh in his heart that Boss Qian was not blessed. Otherwise, with so much property in his master's hands, how could ICBC be less if he became an accountant?ICBC is real, and the imperial examinations are always illusory. There are so many scholars in the world. In three years, less than [-] people can be admitted to Jinshi. Even if they win Jinshi, they can’t be elected without money. Don't worry about eating and drinking.

Now Boss Qian's family still has this month's monthly allowance in their hands, so they don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the time being, but the place where they live has already begun to make people worry.That is to say, he is no longer a servant of the mansion, and of course he has to return the house allocated by the mansion.

But I didn't know until I got out of the mansion, not to mention the money they had to pay for the rental house, even if they finally found a house in Nancheng, and they couldn't even find a guarantor, who would rent the house to them?

After begging and complaining, the family finally found a big car shop and had to find a way to make a living in the future.Regardless of whether it is Boss Qian or his wife, the jobs they find after going out a few times are either low wages or heavy work, and they are not as good as Zhang Cuihua's.

It's not that the son of the Qian family didn't go out to find a way, but he didn't even have a reputation, and no one was willing to use him as an accountant.Thinking about the rhetoric he said to Zhang Cuihua before he left, the son of the Qian family finally knew why Mrs. Sun dared to say it in front of him.

People knew that he was a poor young man, and he couldn't afford to make big waves.This is not to mention later.

Besides, Zhang Cuihua still had to recruit another accountant after sending away the boss Qian's family.Fortunately, there is a shortage of everything in Beijing, and there is no shortage of people who have nothing to eat.Within two days, Li Nian had brought back an old scholar who had been trying for a long time.

For an old scholar in his forties, it is really embarrassing to be in Beijing: the middle of Beijing is no better than the countryside, no one wants to be a scholar for his fame, and no one wants to be a teacher for others. I can hardly drink porridge.

By chance, I heard that the house was going to hire a tent, so in order to survive, I had no choice but to put down my face and brazenly recommend myself to Li Nian.Li Nian carefully inquired about the situation of his family, and secretly let people watch their house for two days. As a result, he saw that the scholar's house was about to eat, and a boy went to the pawnshop with a small bag, so he believed the scholar's words.

Zhang Cuihua had already heard about Li Nian talking about this old scholar, and after a few conversations, she found out that he was a stubborn and old-fashioned person, so she decided to hire him right away—an old-fashioned person is good, and an old and old-fashioned person is even better. People will not easily change their habits, and remember that the accounts must be Ding Mao or Ding Mao, and they will not make false accounts to deceive themselves.

With a tent, Zhang Cuihua thought her life was completely settled after buying a ten-year-old girl, still named Ming Liu, who served her with Fu Liu.It's a day to tease the children and think about what to eat. I just hope that Li Nian will go out to inquire about some gossip and come back to talk about it, so as to add a little adjustment to life.

Zhang Cuihua, who has been a high-ranking person for several generations, really doesn't know that ordinary people are so keen to inquire about and spread the grievances and grievances of noble families and wealthy families.Li Nian can bring fresh topics every day, whether it is the current Patriarch of the Dingguo Mansion who favors which concubine likes to use which fabric, or the cousin who accompanied the concubine of Prince Jin robbed whose girl.

The wide range of topic content and timely dissemination can completely ignore the distance from the west city to the east city. It is hard to believe that this was in ancient times when news spread was not smooth.However, Zhang Cuihua felt that Li Nian's work attitude was very worthy of recognition, and happily added a monthly routine to him.

Now in the mansion where there is simply a plaque of "Sun's House" hanging in front of the door, the monthly salary of servants is no less than that of ordinary petty officials. The monthly salary of Li Nian alone is enough to make a commoner family of four live very well. rich.

This made Li Nian work harder to inquire about the gossip, and he secretly recorded his master's expression when he heard the gossip from various houses.

As a result, Zhang Cuihua, who still needs to improve her expression management, discovered that the frequency of four kings and eight princes committing suicide was a bit high during this period, and most of what Li Nian brought back were rumors from their various houses.

Counting the time, it should be time for Prince Yizhong, the current crown prince, to do something bad, and Zhang Cuihua thought it was normal again—sages have said that if you want to destroy him, you must make him crazy.Most of the four kings and eight princes support the prince, and it seems reasonable to have the final carnival now.

However, Rongguo Mansion, which was supposed to be at the forefront, was very quiet this time, which made Zhang Cuihua very puzzled.It wasn't until Li Nianyi mentioned that the Jinyi Guards outside the Rongguo Mansion had withdrawn that Zhang Cuihua remembered that she had forgotten that the mansion was surrounded by the emperor all the time, and there was no time to die.

"I never heard why Jin Yiwei surrounded their house, and why did they withdraw?" Zhang Cuihua expressed her due surprise.

Li Nian smiled: "Master and nobleman forget things. Didn't the servants say that the old lady in their house favored the second master and even ordered the servants to murder the court officials, so the sages ordered Jin Yiwei to be surrounded to clean up the morals. Find out now." The second master of the mansion not only followed the old lady to do evil, but also lived in the main courtyard of the Guogong mansion as a fifth-rank mansion, and communicated with people as the head of the Rongguo mansion. The saint ordered that the second master's official position be taken away, and the old lady's order , ordered the elder master to move back to the main courtyard, and the second elder master to return to his original place, and he will never be allowed to enter Beijing."

He actually helped Jia Amnesty so much?Zhang Cuihua felt a little regretful, Jia Zheng was sent back to his hometown, only Jia She was left in the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia's mother lost her imperial order.

Seeing the regretful expression on Zhang Cuihua's face, Li Nian said cautiously: "My master thinks that the second master of that mansion..."

Zhang Cuihua nodded fiercely: "The Rongguo Mansion is also a veteran of the founding of the country. I heard that the official position of the second master of their mansion was obtained by Rong Guogong before his death. It is a pity that he was taken away like this. There is also Rongguo. Good life."

A hint of mystery appeared on Li Nian's face: "My master thinks so because of his soft heart, but I don't know that many people still think that if the saint hadn't looked at the face of the deceased Duke Rong, he wouldn't have spared those two people so lightly. "

Zhang Cuihua became a little puzzled: "They all took the order and went to the government, it's not light."

"People have already said that the old man in their mansion, the poisonous woman and the wicked brother were beaten to the point of hanging, but who knew that the old man who died, Mrs. Ru, was kind and righteous, so he specially asked Yan The prince begged for the elixir, and the old man walked like flying overnight."

"Madam Ru not only saved the old man, but also punished the old lady and the second wife, and publicly said that the old man was not the old lady's own. Alas, it's a pity that the poisonous woman was so clever that she even concealed the truth from the dead Rong Guogong. Living."

"The sage thought that Duke Rong, who had gone, had the grace to save him. He didn't convict the mother and child who had a dark heart, and let the old man continue to support the poisonous woman. It was too cheap for them. Otherwise, except for the old man, the other According to the law, people should be beheaded." Li Nian said, foaming at the corner of his mouth, he didn't take advantage of it and knew it.

Zhang Cuihua turned her head slightly away, complaining secretly in her heart, the emperor kept Jiamu alive because of the kindness of the Rongguo Mansion for saving him, and clearly wanted to use Jiamu to restrain Jia Amnesty.

After complaining and asked Li Nian to go down to rest, Zhang Cuihua sadly hugged Yingchun who was already able to babble and asked: "Shouldn't there be a ghost medicine in the place of Lord Yan? Where did the fairy medicine come from?"

Yingchun waved her fist as fat as a small meat bun, and yelled at Zhang Cuihua, as if telling her that Lord Yan is also a god, not a ghost.

Even if Hades, who is in charge of hell, is a god, there are still people with evil intentions in this world.One day, Zhang Cuihua was hugging Yingchun to watch the wild geese flying south in the sky. The second door came up to report: "Ma'am, there is a nun at the door who was in a nunnery outside Beijing. I want to greet my wife."

After a long time, Zhang Cuihua thought about it and realized that it was the host who acted as a middleman to handle the household registration for herself.It's just that he and her aren't a one-off deal. What kind of peace does she come to give herself?

I didn't want to see it, but I thought that the host seemed to have a heart, and he had memorized his residence clearly. Why don't we see what she wants to do, lest her request fail, and it will be troublesome to spread the word about my hiding place.So Zhang Cuihua had someone bring the host to the main room, and politely served tea and snacks.

"It's time to come here to say hello to my wife, but the small nunnery is too far away from the city, so it's not easy to come and go, so please forgive my wife." After the host chanted the Buddha's name, he politely harassed Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua also had a smile on her face: "Exactly. I said that day that your nunnery is too far away." At such a time, the person who took the initiative will be at a disadvantage, so it's better to wait and see what happens.

Seeing that Zhang Cuihua didn't do much to help her, the host was a little annoyed and guilty: "Yes, fortunately, the poor nun also knows a few wives in Beijing. Every time this season comes, I would walk around here. I think my wife should also take a walk around here." "Don't think that the capital city is your territory, and it's not like we don't know each other.

Some of them know a few wives, and many of them will walk around this time of year. This is to tell themselves that she is not the only customer. Does she come to collect a wave of money every year at this time?Zhang Cuihua sneered inwardly.

At the beginning, in order to reduce the trouble of identity as soon as possible, I had to find this old nun, but now it seems that I was in a hurry.But Zhang Cuihua didn't regret it too much. It was not easy for her to go out of the house at that time, and she didn't know anyone outside. It wasn't because she found out that the old nun was used to doing such things, but she really didn't know who to turn to.

It's just that this nun's heart is a little greedy.Everyone is a clear-cut business, so she has to think that she has taken advantage of others, thinking that she will come to collect money once a year, because she is sure that these people have a handle in her hands, and dare not do anything to her?

However, there are quite a lot of people who have quietly registered in the capital, but I don't know who they are.Zhang Cuihua suppressed her desire to ask the host for gossip, and asked with a smile, "How is the incense in your nunnery?"

When the host heard that Zhang Cuihua finally talked about the incense, her face was like a pot of fire: "It's because the incense in the nunnery is not prosperous, and all the people in the nunnery point to the poor nuns to eat, so the poor nuns have to worry."

"It's autumn harvest time now. The weather is good this year. Don't everyone in the village thank God?" Zhang Cuihua expressed doubts about the old nun's statement.

The smile on the host's face was stagnant, and soon returned to the original: "The rural peasants in the village, even if they thank God, they can only offer a chicken and add ten cents for sesame oil. They are not as pious as the wives."

That's right, people who are used to doing big business with hundreds of taels of silver, how can they value the incense money of a few coppers from the villagers.Zhang Cuihua nodded politely, and then asked the wives in Beijing how much incense they offer every year, and whether it has any effect.

Speaking of this, the nun was beaming again, what is the routine of a certain wife every year, and besides the usual, a certain wife also goes to monks from time to time, etc., talking endlessly.When her mouth became dry, Zhang Cuihua asked leisurely: "How does the host think I should worship the Bodhisattva every year?"

The host made her say: "My wife is joking, worshiping the Bodhisattva is only based on the heart, how can a poor nun talk more and less. The poor nun knows. The wives in Beijing are all good-faced. If the wife I am afraid that if there are too few offerings, I will lose face, so I only offer 50 taels a year." This is the money that can be collected every year, and it is not good to turn your face if you ask for too much.

50 taels per year, you are really welcome.Zhang Cuihua sneered: "The host has also seen it. Now we are supported by only one woman in our house, and we are taxed and paid. There may be 50 taels left in a year. This is really embarrassing." gone."
