Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Doing business is much more difficult than a child imagines, but gradually he got used to it.

Sun Xiaowa and his friends never moved away. After they made some money, they decided to buy the clothing store and turned it into a food store.

That business is so prosperous, it's really enviable.

I heard that there were thieves who broke into her house and tried to steal things, but they were scared by the child's sneaking into the cabin. They kept a big dog at home and put a lot of broken porcelain pieces on the wall. They also inserted a lot of sharpened bamboo sticks behind the wall, hiding them among the wild flowers and weeds.

The thief jumped up from the wall and cut his hand. He jumped to the ground and pricked his foot. Then he walked inside and was bitten again and again by a dog. His feet were like a blood gourd.

When they took off the mask, they saw that it was the drunkard of the cattle dealer.

The neighbors talked about it for a long time, and they all said that this must have been instigated by the livestock dealer, who was jealous of others making money. But after Sister An Xi took the guy away and interrogated him, there was no further news. Maybe it had nothing to do with the livestock dealer?

The child didn't ask.

Everyone said that even if he had connections, nothing would happen to him, because his brother-in-law was the chief clerk in the yamen.

When this is mentioned, it is inevitable that people will talk about the lotus roots of the Sun family again. They are all curious about where their family got those delicious lotus roots.

They said they discovered it by accident and rented a pond outside the city to raise it.

Some people envy their good luck, while others think it is nonsense and there must be something fishy going on.

The owner of the liquor store, Bai Laoliu, made the most random guesses because he was angry. First, he was angry that they were stealing his business, and second, he was angry that they were stealing his employees.

Zhang Erwa ran to work with them.

That was the most capable guy on his side. Without Erwa, Laoliu had to do everything on his own.

These have little to do with the child, and no one knows who spread the word that giving her bones can make ghosts appear.

Her stall changed from a stilt-pressing stall to a stilt-pressing stall and a "business teller".

There were always some people or ghosts who came to her secretly, either asking her to pass messages to the living, or asking her to call back the souls of the dead, and there were also those who were possessed by evil spirits and wanted her to solve the problem.

It’s quite a lot of money.

The child did this twice and knew more.

Qiu Xin and Xiaolang particularly like to do this. It would be even better if the guests who come are monsters or ghosts. They accept monster energy and yin energy as payment, and sometimes ask directly if they can have a bite.

The child would not stop someone from wanting to be beaten, but she still preferred living people, because living people paid for it.

Especially when she said that when she watched people give, they always gave extra amounts, and she didn't know why.

Aunt Yu didn't like children making this kind of money. She thought it was very dangerous, but those who came to her door looked anxious and pitiful, and most of them were not dangerous, so she gradually ignored them.

I still tend the stall, sell snacks, and help the children with various chores.

Sometimes children would think that she... is very much like their mother. Her nagging and behavior are very similar to Sun Xiaowa's mother across the street, and very similar to the mothers of many other children.

But she never scolded her, hit her, or disciplined her too harshly. Their closeness and familiarity always carried a certain respect and courtesy unique to master and servant.

This made the child realize very clearly that the difference between her and her mother was far more than just blood, and no matter how close they were, there was always a little distance between them.

Does this matter?

The child didn't know, she only knew that even without the indenture, Aunt Yu would not leave her so easily.

Just as children like to live with her, she also likes to be with children.

that's enough.

There's no need to take some things so seriously.

Anyway, she is very happy, and that is enough.

The person who gave her the most headache was probably Chu Yiyi, who was such a strange person.

If I forget to take my medicine, I'll bother her. If I take the medicine... sometimes I'll bother her too. Although she says she's apologizing, it doesn't look like that to the child.

She was very tight-lipped, and the child tried to find out the benefit of her coming, so he asked her about the second young master and his godfather uncle.

She refused to utter a single word. Don't ask, the only thing you know is that a loyal servant won't gossip about his master.

Even if she doesn't say anything, the children will know what's going on.

Not long ago, Huang Yuquan, the owner of the Yuquan troupe, went to the yamen to accuse the second young master of robbing men, oppressing innocent people, kidnapping people, and even smashing the drum at the yamen gate.

It was a big fuss.

The trial lasted several days, and many people watched it, and finally the truth was revealed.

It didn't happen at all. Uncle Feiming gave him some money on his own initiative to settle the matter. At that time, he left with the troupe and Princess Jia and the others.

It can be said that we are going our separate ways.

However, Princess Jia originally kept the troupe because the Second Young Master liked it. Now that the Second Young Master is not with her, they think it is a waste of money and useless to keep it, so they don't want it anymore.

Without Uncle Feiming, Huang Yuquan could not support the troupe. After much trouble, he spent all his money and ran back to Suicheng in shame, still asking for more money.

Since Feiming refused to give it to him, he thought about selling Huang Ti, Huang Zhao and the others. However, according to what was written in the contract, he couldn't do that. The children in the troupe were also quite cunning and ran away when they found something wrong.

When he couldn't find the person, he thought that Uncle Feiming had hidden him, so he went to his house to ask for money. Not only did he not get any, he was beaten. In a fit of anger, he ran to the yamen.

It was said that the second young master used his power to bully others, snatched Pei Feiming away, and hid the little actor under his command. When he went to ask for it back, he was beaten.

Anyway, it sounds very pitiful.

He also said how deep his friendship with Pei Feiming was and that he would never betray each other.

Some even suspected that the Second Young Master had some poison that could control people, or that he was using their lives to force Pei Feiming to submit.

It’s hard to say whether the officials believed it or not, but the people loved to hear it. The yamen gate was packed with people those days.

Even though the incident had passed, it still caused a sensation in the city. Storytellers made up some touching stories, and writers wrote books full of love and hate. The relationship between the second young master and Uncle Feiming was also talked about with great interest.

It doesn’t matter even if Chu Yiyi is a clam whose mouth cannot be pried open. As long as the child sticks his head out into the street, those rumors will fill his ears and head.

I heard that the second young master was afraid that his children would be lonely and that Pei Feiming would be sad, so the two of them raised a little treasure together, maybe a child, some said it was a dog.

Whatever it was, it sounded like he was having a good time.

The sun and the moon wax and wane, cold comes and hot goes.

The child spent her fifteenth New Year in a corner of Suicheng. She had saved money for two years but still couldn't buy a house which was becoming increasingly expensive. She could only borrow some money from the monks of Fayuan Temple, but she finally had her own home!

We moved in on the last day of the new year.

Aunt Yu was worried about the debt she owed, but at the same time she couldn't help being happy. She went to the shop secretly opened by Sister An Xi and bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers.

Pumpkin hated this kind of thing. After smelling it, he walked into the house with his tail hanging down.

The little wolf wasn't interested either.

Qiu Xin wanted to have some fun, so she hung around outside pretending to be casual all day, waiting to join in the fun.

As for Fu Da...it misses flowers even more during every festive season. It keeps cooing early in the morning, asks the children to dress it up, and goes outside the city to secretly see the golden lotus.

He came back before the afternoon.

Qiu Xin was still puzzled: "Why so early?"

The child said sadly: "Spend it and become a human."

A little man, the size of a palm, was jumping around in the pond. Fu Da took one look at it and his heart was broken. Even a child couldn't understand the sadness of losing his mount forever.

Anyway, she talked to Qiu Xin for a long time, and when she left, Fu Da was still staring at the lotus in the vat.

It was a delicate yellow lotus, with the shadow of a golden lotus vaguely visible, but it was not in full bloom and could not accommodate a toad as big as Fu Da.

Ugh……

The child patted its head comfortingly, and received an unpleasant and sad sound: "Gu Gua~"

It looks quite lonely.

Just as she was thinking this, Fu Da jumped hard onto her head and sat up cross-legged.

Child:……

When she heard Aunt Yu calling her, she ran over with a toad on her head and got a few letters.

Waiya’s, Haitao’s, Yundou’s, Master’s, and Lianli’s.

This New Year, she read endless words, replied to endless letters, set off many fireworks, and ate many meals.

An Xi and Eunuch Zhang, who were invited by her to celebrate the New Year, arrived very late, but the timing was just right so that they could have the New Year's Eve dinner and ask for red envelopes.

Mu Tou and the others could go set off fireworks together. Uncle Li Er, who had quarreled with his family and was unwilling to go back, was lazy and silent, perhaps because Eunuch Zhang praised the child's cooking skills but not him.

To be honest, that bowl of braised pork was really a bit mushy!!!
