peasant young lady

Chapter 289 You will die miserably
Shang Luo was startled, and suddenly smiled, "Are you warning me?"

"Is it not possible?" Du Zhong asked back, "From the perspective of a younger brother, I hope that my brother's wife will not be coveted by others. My good friend, I must also remind you, lest you lose your sense of proportion."

"Heh," Shang Luo shook his head and laughed, "Since you have been with her for so long, you should know how much this woman shines." Some people always radiate light unintentionally, making it impossible to avoid avoid.

Shang Luo looked at Du Zhong's suddenly condensed face, and couldn't help but chuckled, "But don't worry, I know what I should have, but it's you." Shang Luo approached Du Zhong a few steps, "Don't think you're hiding it well, you like it Cheng Xia's sister-in-law."

"That's not her sister-in-law." Du Zhong argued with a twisted face.

"You don't have to lie to me," Shang Luo shook his head, "When I heard the two of them whispering, she called her sister-in-law, but not now, at least it was in the past," Shang Luo looked at Du Zhong with a pale face, how much Also a little bit unbearable, "In Chong'an County, the clerk of the pharmacy once told me that she went to the pharmacy to get medicine because of her children's problems. I think you should know what it means."

"Shut up!" Du Zhong was furious, clenched his fists as if he couldn't control himself.

Shang Luo pondered for a moment before speaking, "I don't mean to be disrespectful to Miss Yun, I'm just stating a fact that you know well, if you really go on like this, I believe your good days will come to an end. That's it No matter how open-minded and considerate Mrs. Du is, she will never want you to marry Miss Yun. Of course," Shang Luo smiled leisurely, "if you just have the idea of ​​playing, then I believe, with Cheng Xia's heart, you will die horribly."

"I didn't!" Du Zhong retorted flatly.

"If not, then you will have a more miserable life." Shang Luo let out a sigh of relief, "I believe that Shao Chen should have told you about this, so I don't need to remind you, I hope you stop in time Do it yourself."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Cheng Xia was about to leave the manor, but when she looked back, she found that Shang Luo and Du Zhong hadn't left at all, so she couldn't help shouting.

Shang Luo smiled and waved, "Here we come."

When they got close, Cheng Xia saw the ashen look on Du Zhong's face, so he winked at Shang Luo quietly, "What did you say about him, he can hang an oil bottle on his mouth."

Shang Luo smiled brightly, seeing how Du Zhong warned him, raised his eyebrows and said, "I just told Du Zhong that Miss Weiyun is not a person who is educated and reasonable, so let him go and find out, Baoqi, which family of officials is Miss Weiyun from?" As for the young lady who was left behind, with this status, it will be much easier for Du Zhong to marry someone in."

Cheng Xia clapped her hands abruptly, "Wonderful, Du Zhong, you can really inquire about it. I think you and Miss Weiyun are in love with each other and are a good match."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Du Zhong blushed.

"I think so too," Dahua walked to Cheng Xia's side, and echoed, "Miss Weiyun looks very temperamental, and she is not bad for you."

"You, you," Du Zhong looked at the three of them, threw off his robe and left angrily.

Cheng Xia thought about it seriously, she frowned and looked at Shang Luo, "Could Miss Weiyun really be a lady from some family?"

Shang Luo chuckled, "I'm just kidding."

"But I'm serious," Cheng Xia said solemnly.

Forget it, when she arrives at the brothel, she can ask the old bustard.

The contract was written very quickly, and the money was paid with one hand and the house deed and the land deed with the other. The rest of the process went smoothly. The old bustard kicked the 1000 taels of silver and left, while Cheng Xia sat in the lobby on the first floor of the Zuihong Building Looking at these twenty girls in a daze.

It is one thing to buy their deeds of sale, but another to arrange them.

Besides, there is a non-staff member in this drunk red building, Miss Weiyun.Cheng Xia just quietly asked the old bustard, and the old bust said that Miss Weiyun lived in Zuihonglou since she was a child, before the old bustard took over Zuihonglou.

The old bustard doesn't know exactly what happened before, she just remembers a reminder from the former customer in Zuihonglou that Weiyun came with her mother, and her mother is very good at playing konghou, and she doesn't sell herself as a performer , only played and sang in the drunken red building but did not commit himself to any man. Although the drunken red building was not doing well, it maintained for a long time according to Weiyun's mother's skills.A while ago just entered the winter, her mother was too weak and sick to carry her through, and she was gone, but Miss Weiyun still stayed. As for what will happen to her in the future, the old bustard just shrugged and said he didn't know.

Cheng Xia thought for a while, looked at the twenty or so gorgeous girls standing in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "There is your contract of prostitution on the table, each of you holds it, and you can do whatever you want."

There was a chattering sound from the crowd, and someone who was a little more courageous asked, "Aren't we going to open here?"

"Yes," Cheng Xia smiled, "but I won't open a brothel, I will open a restaurant."

"Restaurant?" The girls were all taken aback, "Open a restaurant in this brothel?"

Seeing their exaggerated looks, Cheng Xia nodded solemnly, "So you have taken your own deeds of prostitution, and you can go wherever you want."

After Cheng Xia finished speaking, a girl suddenly sobbed, "Where else can I go, we have already fallen into prostitution, and there is no place for us to live." The girl suddenly plopped and knelt on Cheng Xia In front of Xia, "Please, don't drive us away, let us stay."

Cheng Xia was taken aback, and quickly helped the girl up, she couldn't stand others kneeling down, "Get up first, it's up to you whether you leave or stay, if you want to leave, I won't stop you, if you want to stay Yes, I can feed myself too, don't cry, get up first."

Cheng Xia wiped away tears for her, and said softly, "If you have a better way out, or if you have quietly saved some private money in the past few years, you can live well even if you leave here, and you can live better, then you You can leave. If you have nothing to rely on and no way out, then stay here. It just so happens that my restaurant also needs chefs and employees. If you are willing, I will pay you money every month. You can make money by your own ability and you can live good."

The girl who was crying just now stopped crying, and asked Cheng Xia with a sob, "Can we really stay?"

"Yes," Cheng Xia nodded affirmatively, "You can make a decision now, it's up to you whether you stay or not."

Cheng Xia could clearly see that several girls were determined to leave, she didn't urge them, she just waited for them to make a decision, after a while, more than a dozen people said goodbye to Cheng Xia and went upstairs to their room to tidy up stuff, and left with the package.

This place of Zuihonglou is their sad place, and they have been tired of it for a long time.

Cheng Xia looked at the eight girls who stayed at the end, most of them were cowardly and did not have their own opinions, Cheng Xia had an idea in her heart, walked over and patted their shoulders, "Okay, since you guys choose to stay, then I I won't treat you badly either. It will take a while for our restaurant to open, before it opens, you can rest here."

"Okay," the girls cheered up immediately.

Cheng Xia walked up to Miss Weiyun who was always smiling, "What about you, do you want to leave?"

Wei Yun shook her head, "I grew up here, and my mother passed away here, so I won't go anywhere. If Mrs. Shao is willing, let me stay."

"Of course you can," Cheng Xia said without the slightest hesitation, "You didn't sell your body, and you weren't tied to this drunk red building. If you want to stay, you can help here. If you want to leave, you can leave anytime." Cheng Xia said Then, he glanced at Du Zhong meaningfully. This buddy wanted to leave angrily when he was in the manor, but he didn't leave when he got to the drunk red building. No matter how he looked at it, something was wrong.

"Then thank you, Mrs. Shao." Wei Yun saluted politely.

Seeing her graceful demeanor, Cheng Xia felt that she was not like a girl from an ordinary family, and seeing Du Zhong's mysterious appearance, she always felt that the relationship between these two people was not simple.

After a busy morning, it was noon time. Anyway, Shao Chen was on duty at court and didn't go home at noon, so she didn't bother to go back and face Shao Lin's old face.

Zuihonglou has its own kitchen. Although the chef has already left, there are still enough ingredients. Cheng Xialei is too lazy to move, so Dahua says to cook by herself. When Du Zhong heard it, she also went to the kitchen to help, Cheng Xiashen Taking a deep look at him, Du Zhong pretended not to see him, and hurriedly followed him to the kitchen.

Weiyun also went to help, and only Cheng Xia and Shang Luo were left in the lobby. Seeing that she was quite tired, Shang Luo poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, "This is the first time I see a woman talking about business. , It’s really an eye-opener, no wonder my mother keeps saying that you are an omnipotent person, I understand more and more the meaning of this sentence.”

"That's what Aunt Han said about me?" Cheng Xia suddenly laughed, "That's also Aunt Han's flattery. I've always been lazy and rarely serious."

"But when it comes to seriousness, ordinary people can't compare to it." Shang Luo said leisurely.

Uh, Cheng Xia was taken aback for a moment, thinking that I can't accept you for boasting so much, buddy.

After lunch, Shang Luo left. Du Zhong didn't want to leave, but Shang Luo dragged him away.

Cheng Xia found a favorite among the thirty or so rooms on the second floor. After taking a nap for a while, she took a pen and paper to write and draw. Although she had the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, she hadn't figured out what to open yet. Woolen cloth.

When the application time was approaching, Cheng Xia didn't want to confirm it yet, but Shao Chen was going to pay off, so she hurriedly put on her shoes and planned to go home.

First, he sent Dahua to the house, and then walked towards Shao's house by himself. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a carriage parked not far from the door. The carriage looked familiar.

Cheng Xia stepped forward suspiciously, asked a few words in a low voice, and indeed saw Yang Lihua lift the curtain to reveal her face, "Sister-in-law, you are back."

Cheng Xia was puzzled, "Are you looking for me?"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come back, I can only leave. I can't stay longer." Yang Lihua said anxiously.

Seeing her appearance, Cheng Xia didn't go to Shao's mansion, and led her directly to the house where Da Hua had just returned.
