Chapter 220 Li Hua
After a night and a day, the snow finally stopped, and the snowman in the yard could no longer see anything.

He Wen and Ye Sheng got up early in the morning to clear the snow, and Zhao Yunlan was going to buy a servant today.

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang and He Wen out together, and there were fewer people shopping outside when it snowed.Some officials were clearing the snow on the main street, and pedestrians walked in twos and threes.

Zhao Yunlan and the others also came out on foot, and He Wenwen wanted to drive out in a horse-drawn carriage. The capital is still quite large, and the place to go today is in the south of the capital, some distance away from the city gate.

As for the location of Huaiyuan Street in the northwest, it would take almost an hour to walk there just by concentrating on it, let alone Zhao Yunlan walking around like this.Zhao Yunlan planned to walk the streets of the capital by herself, which would help her understand the layout of the capital, otherwise she would not even know the way out.

It's just that in this snowy day, the road is a little slippery, and after finally walking to the cleaned street, the shoes of several people are a little wet.Zhao Yunlan decided to get down to business first, and this matter of shopping and knowing the way will continue next time.

He Wen led the way in front, paved a safe path for Zhao Yunlan and Chunxiang, walking on his own, and unknowingly came to Shanqing Street.

Most of the people living on Shanqing Street are poor people. No matter how prosperous the capital is, there are still people living at the bottom.Because there are a lot of poor people here, some dental workers and maids also gather here.

"Ma'am, the road here is narrow and slippery."

Zhao Yunlan said: "Yes."

He Wen walked to a house planted with sweet-scented osmanthus trees and stopped, "Madam, this is the place. This is Chen Yaren's house."

Zhao Yunlan nodded and signaled He Wen to knock on the door.

He Wen went up and knocked, and after a while an old man came and opened the door.

"It's Brother He, please come in!"

He Wen: "This is my wife, I want to come to Brother Chen to buy someone today." After finishing speaking, he stepped aside and gave up his seat to Zhao Yunlan.

The old man saluted, and led Zhao Yunlan and his party inside.Chen Yaren was training a group of people who had just been brought back. Now when he saw the old porter bringing people over, he immediately put on a happy face.

"Xiao He, who is this?" Chen Yaren looked at Zhao Yunlan.

He Wen: "Brother Chen, this is my wife."

Chen Yaren bowed his hands and saluted, all the smirks on his face piled up together, and invited Zhao Yunlan to sit up.

After walking for so long, Zhao Yunlan's feet were indeed sore, so Chen Yaren was not polite to ask to sit down.

Zhao Yunlan has only one requirement for buying people this time, and they want people from the capital.I had already explained to He Wen before coming here, so He Wen and Yaren negotiated the whole trip this time, and I sat on the sidelines to watch.

Knowing that the important person's request was not long-winded, Chen Yaren immediately called a group of people over.

"Ma'am, I'm not sloppy. Although some of these people are not from the capital, they have worked in the capital for many years, and they came from the official's house. The rules are also very good." Chen Yaren said .

Zhao Yunlan questioned jokingly: "The rules are very good, so you will come out of the official's house?"

Chen Yaren was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I can assure Madam that none of this group of people came out of any crime. It is difficult to explain the others clearly. We will ask too many questions about those high-ranking officials."

Zhao Yunlan nodded lightly and didn't say anything else, Chen Yaren continued: "Ma'am, the few people here are quick to do things, and they often go to work outside the mansion, so they know more or less about the affairs of the capital."

Zhao Yunlan: "Then help me choose someone who is smarter."

Chen Yaren called a man, he looked like a simple and honest man, tall and burly.

Zhao Yunlan looked at the man in front of her, it seemed that the men here were quite tall, compared with He Wenyi, He Wen seemed a bit malnourished.

Chen Yaren: "Ma'am, this person's name is Li Hua, and he used to do shopping in Qingyanghou's mansion. This Qingyanghou is a military general, and the servants in the family will work hard to help him."

Zhao Yunlan didn't say a word, thinking that the family lacked a nursing home, this person's boxing skills are indeed very attractive.

He Wen received Zhao Yunlan's signal and asked, "Brother Chen, how old is this Li Hua?"

Chen Yaren: "19 years old, this Li Hua has been in the capital for 12 years. Let Li Hua speak for himself!"

He Wen looked at Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan nodded.Chen Yaren waved his hand and the others went down, leaving only Li Hua.

Li Hua didn't wait for Chen Yaren's order, so he took a step forward and said, "I would like to pay my respects to my wife. I was just nineteen years old this year. I came to the capital with my grandfather at the age of seven. Within two years after arriving in the capital, my grandfather died of illness. , seeing a doctor for grandpa had already spent all his savings, and later the villain had to sell himself for money to bury grandpa.

Selling one's body was not smooth. Fortunately, I met the old housekeeper of Qingyang Hou Mansion. Not only did he not deduct the money for selling himself, but he also helped the villain to bury his grandfather. I also learned some boxing skills.The old butler was getting older and his health was not good. The last time he was in charge of the mansion, he specially transferred the villain to do some light work, so that the villain could go out of the mansion occasionally.

It's just that later the old Hou Ye handed over the Hou Mansion to the uncle, and all the old servants who could stay went to the old Hou Ye's yard, and the uncle also sold it on the grounds of saving money and saving the servants A group of people left the mansion, and the villain also left the Hou's mansion. "

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Hua with some sadness in his eyes, and mentioning her grandfather and the old housekeeper who was considered a benefactor again brought back the nostalgia in her heart.

The person in front of him is in good condition in all aspects, and in the Hou's mansion, he can hear about some high-ranking officials and nobles. Later, he has the opportunity to leave the mansion, so he should not be unfamiliar with the affairs of the capital.

What's more, this Li Hua knows some kung fu, and he is strong and strong, throwing a pestle in front of the door, playing two tricks casually, which is quite intimidating.Besides, this person's surname is Li, isn't this a talent tailor-made for our old Li family!
Zhao Yunlan decided to accept Li Hua, but Zhao Yunlan still felt a little distressed when she handed over the money, since it is much more expensive to buy people in this capital.

After accepting Li Hua's contract of selling herself, Zhao Yunlan didn't stay long, and walked back with the three of them.

When I came back, I passed by a ready-made clothing store. Zhao Yunlan asked He Wen to go in and buy two sets of clothes that fit Li Hua. In the cold weather, the pants Li Hua wore were all mended and patched, and the sleeves of the jacket were also cut short. , just now there was a brazier in the house to keep warm, and the north wind was blowing, and Li Hua's face turned red from the cold all the way.

Even so, Li Hua still carried it hard, and didn't hunched over his shoulders because of the cold.

Li Hua knew that this was the clothes he bought for himself, and quickly knelt down to thank him. Zhao Yunlan was taken aback, and then said calmly: "Okay, there is no harsh person in our house to say, besides, you can't go out to see the clothes with this patch on your body." man."

Zhao Yunlan raised her hand to get Li Hua up, and then said: "Xiaowen, go there and rent a carriage, let's go back quickly, it's too cold today."

On the street opposite the tailor shop, there was a horse shop for renting carriages, Zhao Yunlan didn't want to walk back, the snow was so hard and slippery.

He Wen responded, and came driving a carriage in a while, accompanied by a coachman.

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang into the carriage, He Wen and Li Hua sat on the left and right sides of the coachman and went back to Huaiyuan Street.

 I feel that my words are unbelievable!
  I was originally a lazy person, and I became even more slack after the Chinese New Year.

  In fact, I hope that everyone can remind me more and make me more anxious every day, so that I can be urged not to be lazy.
