Jiaohua

Chapter 1407
It was completely dark, and the night passed. After waking up, shopkeeper Hu asked the clerk on duty in the store if the old man and old suzerain Gu had returned.

Say no.

I also asked if the big boss had sent someone back to send news or ask questions.

Also said no.

There was no movement in the Dengqian teahouse next door.

Shopkeeper Hu was suddenly not used to it.

After finishing his breakfast, he went upstairs to check on Yang Guanxian's injury. Seeing that Mu Tingyu was changing his dressing, he couldn't help being surprised, and hurried over: "My lord, what are you doing!"

"Hey, this is what the old man taught me yesterday," Mu Tingyu said, "Don't worry about it."

"The old man taught you personally?" Shopkeeper Hu said, looking at Yang Guanxian.

Yang Guanxian said: "It's all right, just change the medicine, it's easy to get started."

Shopkeeper Hu stood for a while, seeing that he couldn't help, he left again.

The cellar in the backyard has been cleaned and still smells of soap.

According to the instructions of the old man and the old suzerain, Quan Jiuwei only drank one bowl of water and ate one bowl of rice every day for the past few days.He eats less and pulls less, which is much, much easier for the guys cleaning out the cellar.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at the entrance of the cellar and felt more and more uncomfortable with this rhythm.Earlier, when the big boss’s family hadn’t arrived in Hejing, he was sent here by Manager Wang. He was very busy every day, asking for information from all parties, writing letters and sending letters while concealing his identity. .

But today, suddenly there is nothing to do, and the leisure is unreasonable.

He simply asked the clerk to bring a reclining chair, make a pot of good tea, close his eyes and sleep for a while under the bright sunshine in the yard, and then get up to read miscellaneous books.

The day passed like this, the old man didn't come back, there was no news from Dadong's house, and there was no movement from the Dengqian teahouse next door.

If it weren't for the sudden increase in the beating of gongs and drums on the street, shopkeeper Hu really felt that the world had suddenly become quieter.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the man sent by shopkeeper Hu came back and said: "The boss is still very busy just like the previous two days. Brother Zhan Ning said that it may be busy for another two days."

As he said that, the clerk quietly came up: "I heard that the big boss is going to close all the brothels in Hejing and the surrounding states and provinces!"

He said it in a mysterious way, but from Shopkeeper Hu's point of view, it didn't seem surprising at all, the girl seemed to do it naturally.

The guy said again: "However, it doesn't seem to be right away, it is said to be within a year."

Shopkeeper Hu asked, "Did you hear anything else?"

"Yes, it is said that there is another plan in October. It seems that the Ministry of Industry will teach the exclusive artisan skills to ordinary people in the market!"

Shopkeeper Hu stared wide-eyed: "Wow, this is incredible!"

"Yeah, those officials were divided into two factions, and the quarrel was so fierce that they almost fought!"

"They have nothing to fight," Shopkeeper Hu snorted, "Even if you don't teach it to the common people, put it over there, those few officials won't learn it."

"Hey, shopkeeper, think about it. Originally, it was something that the emperor could enjoy, but if it is passed on to the people, it means that everyone can use it. Now those angry officials are all cursing the ceremony. , there is no distinction between high and low!"

"No distinction between high and low? Ah bah! Little do we know that what our big boss wants is no distinction between high and low! Return the emperor? The emperor is a fart, can he farm land, can he lay bricks? Don't forget that our big boss directly works for the emperor. Get down! She doesn't even bother to be that emperor!"

"That's right! Haha!"

The man babbled again on what he had heard, but there was really nothing to say, so shopkeeper Hu asked him to rest and rewarded him with a few coins.

The sun was getting lower and lower, and shopkeeper Hu was drowsy again.

Thinking that this day is going to pass like this, the crisp sound of horse hooves came from the other side of Changchang Lane in the back. Shopkeeper Hu was awakened, and pushed open the backyard door to go out. The fast horse stopped in the teahouse in front of the lamp next door.

Shopkeeper Hu went to join in the fun, and he was familiar with the people in the backyard next door, and the guys who came out to lead the horses greeted him warmly when they saw him.

The man who came back drank a bowl of water in the back hall, and said: "Master, I will be back in an hour, and the funeral palace is settled! But there is an urgent letter, and I need to send someone to Miss Ali immediately." .”

"Me, me, me!" Shopkeeper Hu made a coincidence and raised his hand, "I can send someone to deliver it!"

Wu Shaoning said: "Yes, this is the shopkeeper Hu next door, Miss A Li's confidant."

The words "confidant" sounded so satisfying to Shopkeeper Hu's ears. He said happily, "You can give me the letter, and I'll deliver it right away!"

Seeing what Wu Shaoning said, the man who came back took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to shopkeeper Hu: "Then I'll do my best, the letter is here."

"it is good!"

Shopkeeper Hu came back with a letter in his arms, and wanted to send his assistant there. After thinking about it, he waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go together!"

After staying at home for a few days, he was really bored, so he went out for a walk.

Since Li Ju entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Hejing Long Street has changed from the previous depression and depression. Now every day is full of people. People come and go on those old streets, and carts of stone and brand new wood are transported everywhere. .

The houses on Yugui Street have basically been repaired, and now they are knocking on the ground.

The farther you go, the newer the land. Shopkeeper Hu leads the staff to pass by the side path, looking at the new bluestone slabs being installed in the middle of the road, and workers pouring mud.

The man whispered: "This mud is so novel, I have never seen it before."

Shopkeeper Hu felt familiar, and said: "I see. When I was still in Hengxiang, there was an old man Qi next to Mr. Wang. He must be him! He studies soil, wood, and stone all day long, and he goes to other places outside the city when he has nothing to do. The kiln burns clay to burn bricks! He said that he didn’t like the three-component clay, and he had to research a stronger one, and this mud may be his method!”

"Wow," the guy was dumbfounded, "There are so many capable people around our big boss, and there are also people who specialize in mud?"

"Hey, the capable people around Da Dong's family can be found one by one, but not everyone is as discerning as her."

"That's true, Da Dong is so smart! He still has courage and determination!"

"Haha," Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile, "Let's go, let's boast here, and the big boss can't hear it, go find her! Praise face to face!"

The clerk whispered: "In person, the two of us can't let go of such boasting!"

Xia Zhaoyi was in the back courtyard of the Ministry of Officials at this time.

Shopkeeper Hu and his assistant followed a petty official to the backyard, when they heard the chaos in the courtyard, and there was a lot of noise.

Yu Shiling and Zhuge Shan presided over the situation. The girl was the first seat on the right, and there was a lot of noise around. She lay there motionless, as if she was asleep.

Shopkeeper Hu crawled around behind the person, and was about to call her when he got to her side. Yu Shiling said slowly, "Let her sleep for a while."

She slept, and he was at ease.

And if she was awake, her expressionless serious eyebrows and eyes would be scary, and her smile would be even more scary.

Yu Shiling had been in the officialdom for many years, and it was the first time that he deeply realized what a real smile hides a knife. The sweeter she smiled, the more creepy he felt.

Shopkeeper Hu said: "There is an urgent letter."

Yu Shiling took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Then call me."
