marry a tyrant

Chapter 24 24. Family

Before the last snow had melted, the next snow had already begun. The uncle who delivered firewood to the nobles rubbed his hands and pushed the firewood to the side door of a mansion.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, a carriage drove out from the far side of the alley.

"Old man Wang, you're here." The side door was opened, and a woman in a thick jacket came out, her words were full of anger.

Old man Wang retracted his eyes and moved firewood and said, "It's really weird. It's so cold, why are rich and noble people going out?"

The mother-in-law ordered the servants to move the firewood in and said: "I heard that there is a store in a certain square in Dongshi. It's very interesting. Brothers and ladies who are tired of staying in the house all go there."

Old man Wang said with a smile: "These ancestors have never seen anything, and they will probably get tired of it after a while."

"That's right..." The old lady replied casually. She thought that the young man she was serving had already gone to Dongshi three times, which made her curious about the name of this shop.

The carriage that Old Man Wang saw passed through the neat streets and alleys, and the sound of the wheels made the dog bark. After turning a street, he could see several carriages driving ahead, and their destination seemed to be the same. .

Enter Dongshi and walk one mile further, and you will see the shop with colorful plaques, which is called "Sneak Free", which is taken from "Stolen Floating Life Half Day Leisure".

Just like its name, people who come here sneak away, how can they sneak away?Of course it was a game.

There are two very popular games in it, one is called "Script Killing" and the other is called "Escape Room". Basically, people who have been there once want to come back again.

Especially the rich, they don't have to work during the day, and they don't have to go to school at this time, so they almost have something to pass the time.

"The entrance fee is five hundred dollars." The waiter outside yelled.

Five hundred dollars, two people who go in can be worth a month's income of ordinary people. This store does not seem to be open to ordinary people. After all, it is a group of rich children who can be idlers in this place and have time to play.

Ren Pingsheng patrolled the door of the store. As the owner behind the store, he did not expect Wan Mohong to be so efficient.

In less than two months since he entrusted this matter to Wan Mohong, the store has not only been furnished, but even gained popularity.

There were a few exclamations in the store, probably because they were frightened by the escape room. The waiter outside who collected the entrance fee looked calm, as if the cry was very normal.

It made some people watching the excitement outside the door even more curious, and some directly came up and paid the entrance fee to find out.

Ren Pingsheng left on horseback. He knew that there were more than two items of fun inside. During the construction process, Ren Pingsheng also asked Wan Mohong to make playing cards, mahjong and other things.

In addition, the store also provides food and drink. The food is served by a chef from a restaurant, and the drinks are mainly tea, wine, and soup.

In fact, it costs a lot of money to open a store, but when Wan Mohong told him the news that he had recovered the principal within half a month, Ren Pingsheng was also surprised.

These "idle people" are really rich, and they don't feel guilty at all when they earn their money.

In recent days, the two main items of this store already need to be reserved, so Wan Mohong has sent someone to expand the business in the West Market.

Every time Ren Pingsheng passed by here, he seemed to hear the sound of money falling into the purse.

It is indeed good to have money. The small kitchen in their yard has been eating fresh fruits and vegetables recently. You must know that in ancient times when production technology was backward, eating fresh fruits and vegetables in winter was a luxury.

Wan Mohong has already handed over the matter of making money to the talents who are good at Anbu, and now he is working hard to contact those who are familiar with his mother.

The empress mother was originally the niece of the emperor's grandmother, and she and her father were childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately, the empress dowager was no match for the current empress dowager's ability to manipulate people's hearts.

He believed that the Empress Dowager was very ambitious now, and there were definitely many people who were dissatisfied with her. To be on the safe side, Wan Mohong had to find those dissatisfied people who would not betray him.

When Ren Pingsheng came home in the afternoon, he met Shao Qian who had left in his yard. Shao Qian was still smiling, showing no dissatisfaction with them.

"Why did sister-in-law come to visit?" Ren Pingsheng asked.

Wan Mohong: "For your sister's marriage."

Ren Pingsheng has quite a few younger sisters, at first glance, he really doesn't know who they are.

So Shao Qian added: "Yuanxi is not young, and my mother thinks that she will be engaged to her after the new year, so let me discuss it with my second brother."

Ren Pingsheng has an impression of Ren Yuanxi, this little girl is usually gentle, sometimes those naughty younger brothers will find fault anyway, and he has dealt with it a few times.

"Does she have someone she's interested in?" Ren Pingsheng asked.

Shao Qian immediately laughed and trembled: "Second brother is confused, how can an innocent daughter know what other boys are like."

So this is a blind marriage?As a modern person, Ren Pingsheng couldn't stand this.

"I remember that a man and a woman can exchange portraits before they get engaged. My sister-in-law might as well find more people for Yuan Xi to choose from." After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, Shao Qian's eyes flashed sarcastically.

Wan Mohong had a good impression of this little girl, and he saw that Shao Qian didn't intend to bother about Ren Yuanxi's marriage, so he said: "Sister-in-law is busy with housework, so it's better to let me handle Yuanxi's marriage."

Shao Qian raised her eyebrows: "Second sister-in-law wants to share her worries, so my sister-in-law is naturally happy, but it's more convenient for me to pay the dowry at home."

Wan Mohong picked up the teacup, and he understood what Shao Qian meant. They made a lot of money in recent days, and Shao Qian noticed that they were asking for money through their marriage.

Ren Pingsheng was completely unaware of the scheming of the Houzhai, he thought that Shao Qian didn't seem like a person who would worry so much about the concubine's marriage.

"Then how about this, why don't we have a share of Yuan Xi's dowry?" There is no reason why Wan Mohong couldn't do what he wanted to do, but it was to marry a woman.

Shao Qian was very happy to have achieved her goal. When the time comes, the family will pay a small portion of the dowry, and since the second child's courtyard has agreed, it has nothing to do with them.

After all, this Ren's family will still belong to her husband in the future, so guarding one point is one point.

After she left, Wan Mohong glanced at Xiao Niang, who came over to rub the corners of his eyebrows for him.

Ren Pingsheng went behind the screen to change clothes, Wan Mohong said: "Your sister-in-law is really a miser."

"She likes to guard, so let her guard. In this era, except for people like Princess Ziying, most women are confined to this back house." Ren Pingsheng said.

Hearing him praise Ziying made Wan Mohong feel bad. Last time he saw Ren Pingsheng go to escort Ziying, he was not happy.

Wan Mohong waved Xiao Niang to go down, as soon as she left, there were only two of them left in the room.

Ren Pingsheng changed his clothes and came out, Wan Mohong walked over to look at Ren Pingsheng.

"Other men say Princess Ziying is a shrew, so you seem to admire her?" Wan Mohong was unhappy, and spoke with a bit of yin and yang.

Ren Pingsheng had already figured out his temper, felt a little funny, raised his hand and pinched his face and said: "I admire her, but that's all I can do for her, don't be jealous."

"Who is jealous!" Wan Mohong said angrily.

Ren Zhinan pointed at him and said, "You!"

After speaking, he picked up the tea and drank it. He came back from patrol, and now his thirsty throat was smoking.

Wan Mohong was about to have a fit, seeing that Ren Pingsheng was drinking his own teacup, he instantly forgot what he was going to say next.

After Ren Pingsheng finished drinking, Wan Mohong said, "You are drinking my teacup."

After Ren Pingsheng paused, he said why the outside of the teacup was a little wet, if it was an ordinary friend, Ren Pingsheng didn't think it mattered.

It was a bit ambiguous if it was Wan Mohong, Ren Pingsheng put down the teacup and looked at Wan Mohong and asked, "Can't I drink?"

Wan Mohong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said casually: "Yes."

His appearance was so fresh, Ren Pingsheng smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go to eat."

Wan Mohong grabbed Ren Pingsheng's hand, Ren Pingsheng's hand was very big, the palm was somewhat callused, rough to the touch, but it made Wan Mohong's heart beat faster.

Even if everything has been done, their current relationship is just holding hands, this kind of reversal of cause and effect would never have been allowed by Wan Mohong in the past.

But this person is Ren Pingsheng, even if he holds hands, Wan Mohong feels very happy, this may be the feeling of liking someone.

The two walked through the corridor, and there was still fine snow floating outside. Looking at the covered branches, many ancient poems flashed in Ren Pingsheng's mind.

"When we have our own garden in the future, let's plant more plum blossoms." Ren Pingsheng said suddenly.

Wan Mohong nodded, and soon he understood what Ren Pingsheng meant: "You want to separate?"

"I thought about it, you have to do a lot of things in the future, it's not safe for your family to talk too much, besides, I'm like air to them, and I even panic from time to time, I don't bother to deal with it anymore." Ren Pingsheng said calmly .

The last time when Ren Daoyuan scolded him because of the Wu family, Ren Pingsheng knew that if something happened, the Ren family would definitely deny him.

That being the case, it would be restricted for him to continue to stay here, and besides, the biological mother of this body has already died of illness, so why not leave without any worries.

After hearing his decision, Wan Mohong was very supportive. Earlier, he hoped that Ren Pingsheng would separate the family as soon as possible.

He was more annoyed by seeing his so-called mother-in-law and sister-in-law all day long than anything else. After they were separated, he couldn't see him, so naturally he wasn't bothered.

"Okay, tell them as soon as possible, I'll get someone to buy a house, and when your sister's marriage is over, we'll move out." Wan Mohong is a man of action. After saying this, he even started to think about where to go. The house is nice and secluded.

Ren Pingsheng smiled softly when he heard his words. It was not his original wish to come to this time and space. When he opened his eyes, he had already lost everything.

His family and friends have become people he misses. In this time and space without belonging, he always stands from the perspective of a bystander.

Now that someone was discussing the future with him, Ren Pingsheng suddenly felt his heart sink, and the feeling of floating like duckweed continued to dissipate as he and Wan Mohong got closer.

Entering the warm room, drinking hot porridge, and eating his favorite meals, Ren Pingsheng finally felt at home.

The snow falls and melts, melts and falls again, and this repeats, making the capital city in winter constantly changing.

Many people are counting the days of Chinese New Year, there is still one month left, and the day when many people can finally enjoy the fruits of the year is approaching.

The shop opened on the sunny day, and many people poured in as soon as the door opened, and the people were excited to make New Year's goods.

Due to the lack of people in the palace, new eunuchs were placed in the palace. Every winter, many old eunuchs could not survive, and others came when they left.

Eunuch Tong registered with the booklet, and some parents who sent their children to the palace couldn't bear to see them, and cried outside the palace.

This happens every year. As an old man, Eunuch Tong has long been used to it.

At this time, a tall shadow made Eunuch Tong, who was staring at the book without looking up, finally raise his not-so-long neck. This man is really tall, and his appearance looks clean. He doesn't come from a poor family, Eunuch Tong hesitated. : "Come to be a eunuch?"

This person smiled and nodded, Eunuch Tong opened his eyes wide: "What's wrong with your condition, being a eunuch?"

You must know that the work of eunuchs is sent by many people whose families can't get rid of the pot, and of course there are also poor people who are desperate.

"I want to visit the palace all my life. If you have no power or power, you have to be a eunuch. Why do you need to ask so many questions? I can do anything."

After hearing what he said, Eunuch Tong was even more surprised, but it was strange, since he was so tall, he must be a good hand at manual labor.

"What's your name?" Eunuch Tong asked.

"Li Dui."
