In the Shouxi Palace, the Empress Dowager leaned on the back of the Eight Immortals chair and closed her eyes to rest her mind. A maid came in to tell King Yu was coming. The Empress Dowager opened her eyes and waved her hands, and asked the maid to add more charcoal to the stove.

Yu Wang: "My son and minister came to visit the queen mother."

Queen Mother: "Don't talk about those polite words. I called you here because the emperor said that you took the initiative to take over the reconstruction of Sanfu."

King Yu: "Yes, I have some ideas."

Empress Dowager: "It's good that you can take the initiative to share the burden for your imperial brother, but..." Then, the Empress Dowager frowned, "No other intentions?"

King Yu knelt on the ground, "There is absolutely no other intention."

Queen Mother: "You and the emperor are both my own flesh and blood. I have seen many cases of palms and hands fighting each other, but I don't want to see you two doing the same!"

King Yu: "When my son or minister became a monk and practiced at the time of seizing the throne, he had no intention of the throne. The emperor learned the strategy of the world from an early age, and he is the best candidate for the monarch."

Queen Mother: "You really think so? Then why did you snatch this job not long after you left the vulgar?"

King Yu raised his head and looked straight into the Queen Mother's eyes, "I don't want to hide it from my mother, I do have some selfish intentions. My minister is thinking of demolishing the wall next to Yanming Lake Avenue during the reconstruction."

Queen Mother: "Why?"

Yu Wang: "A friend of Erchen has a shop there, but because of the wall, there are no customers, and it is already facing the danger of closing down."

The queen mother slowly widened her eyes, "Which is next to Yanming Lake Avenue... Flower Street?"

King Yu hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed.

Queen Mother: "Which friend?"

King Yu: "Jiang Li, the concubine of Jiang Fu, the former minister of household affairs."

The Queen Mother leaned back and sighed, "It's him...he must be the reason why you returned to vulgarity."

King Yu's forehead pressed against the cold ground, "Yes."

Empress Dowager: "The empress mother just wants to ask you, marrying a male wife has nothing to do with avoiding the emperor's suspicion?"

King Yu: "It doesn't matter." King Yu raised his head, "I really like it."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes again, "That's all, it's the best ending." She waved her hand, signaling King Yu to back down.

Shen Yu came out of Shouxi Palace, instead of returning directly to the palace, he went to Yanming Lake.

People come and go on Yanming Lake Avenue, but the other side separated by a wall is another scene.

Shen Yu stepped back from the sedan chair and walked among the crowd.

When he looked up and saw the giant tree in the south hall, he stopped in front of the wall, supported the wall with both hands, and pressed his forehead against the rough wall.

"I will tear down this wall myself."

After he finished speaking silently, he turned and walked towards the palace.

……

While wiping the table, July said, "I think we should hire someone to clean up the room."

Gu Qing: "If you deduct your ration, you should be able to afford it."

Qiyue rolled Gu Qing's eyes, "Why not your rations?"

Gu Qing: "I follow Jiang Li to eat bran and swallow vegetables all day, how can I have as much money as you eat chicken every day?"

July: "Does it cost a lot to hire someone?"

Gu Qing threw the rag on the table, "Let me do the math for you. If you hire someone, you need to take care of his meals for a day, give him a room to sleep, and pay him monthly money. Which one will cost us?" Can you afford it?"

Jiang Li: "I can afford it."

Gu Qing turned his head to look at Jiang Li, "Okay, poor and crazy!"

Jiang Li put a notice on the table and sat down to drink tea.

Gu Qing felt suspicious, unfolded the notice, and saw Sansuke's renovation notice written on it.

Gu Qing shouted in shock: "The wall next to Yanming Lake Avenue?"

Jiang Li nodded, and Qiyue quickly snatched the notice from Gu Qing's hand to read.

Gu Qing: "Is the emperor crazy? Are you going to tear down the wall?"

Jiang Li whistled: "Where is the east wind blowing?"

Gu Qing: "No, I still think this matter is strange."

Jiang Li: "The person in charge of the renovation is King Yu."

Gu Qing frowned: "Have you gone to beg him?"

Jiang Li: "How can I catch up? King Yu and I have a heart-to-heart connection." After speaking, he proudly pointed to his heart.

Gu Qing: "You have a thick skin, don't you?"

Jiang Li smiled: "I told you that he is not a bad person."

Gu Qing felt a little strange looking at him with complacent eyes. Last time, this person took Yu Wang for granted as his backstage.What kind of emotion is beyond friendship, but the person in front of him doesn't seem to feel it.

Gu Qing: "Do you really want to recruit a servant?"

Jiang Li: "Go to the market tomorrow and spread the news about recruiting."

Gu Qing: "Aren't you going to see it yourself?"

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes, and Qiyue looked up at Jiang Li.

Gu Qing sighed, "Arranged me to do something again, I'm going to become a big manager as a young lady."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "You are our Chief Manager!"

Gu Qing looked at Jiang Li with wide eyes, and asked mysteriously, "Is the monthly money going up?"

Jiang Li yawned, covered his mouth with one hand, picked up the notice and slipped away.

Gu Qing: "Where did the thief escape?" As he spoke, he picked up the rag on the table and threw it at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li jumped to the right, and the rag barely fell by his feet. He smiled smugly and entered the backyard.

Gu Qing walked over on his own and picked up the rag again, put it in the basin and placed it around, then raised his head and said to Qiyue, "Since we are going to hire a servant tomorrow, what else are we going to do?"

Qiyue was still in a daze, didn't hear Gu Qing's words, Gu Qing knocked on the table, and Qiyue came to her senses.

Gu Qing: "What's wrong with you?"

July: "Why doesn't Jiang Li recruit people himself?"

Gu Qing: "Be lazy, why else?"

But Qiyue silently felt in her heart that Jiang Li's demonic aura was getting heavier and heavier.

……

Kaji: "Why did you come to Yaoshi again?"

Jiang Li crouched by the side of the road, looked up and saw Kaji smiling awkwardly. "Poverty is a normal thing. There is no reason why you will be poor today without being poor tomorrow."

Kaji grinned, "How many pills did you make this time?"

Jiang Li: "Not many, fifteen."

Kaji: "Still the old price?"

Jiang Li nodded, and wrapped the Xiaowei Pill to Kaji, "I can ask, why do you want so much medicine, didn't you ask April to give it to you last time?"

Kaji's expression was very sad, "There are many foxes injured by Bai Zang who urgently need man's energy to heal."

Jiang Li: "Sexy stories in the outskirts of the city?"

Kaji glared at him, Jiang Li shut his mouth.

After a while, Jiang Li asked again: "Don't you dare to just chase after a man? If someone dies, I will be an accomplice."

Kaji left behind the 500 demon coins and gave Jiang Li a blank look before leaving.

Jiang Li took the money and walked into the fabric shop he visited last time, the silkworm was packing clothes for other customers.

Jiang Li picked out a few pieces of cotton cloth by himself first, and then picked out furs.

Silkworm: "Are you going to start making winter clothes?"

Jiang Li nodded, "The New Year is coming soon."

Silkworm: "Has it entered the twelfth lunar month?"

Jiang Li took out the selected cotton cloth and fur and handed them over. Silkworm separated the cloth into different paper bags and sealed them with straw rope.

Fortunately, Kaji didn't ask him to give change, otherwise he couldn't afford it again.

Jiang Li took the package and went out, humming a little tune. "If you say poor, I say poor. You can't eat buns and you can't light a fire. Old clothes are wrapped under new clothes."

Jiang Li walked outside the South Pavilion and found that Gu Qing brought back a doll!

Miss Su: "What's your name?"

Doll: "Ah Wu."

Miss Su smiled, "Look at him learning how to bark like a tiger."

Jiang Li was stunned, "Mother, he's saying his name."

Miss Su: "By the way, the aunt is asking your name? What's your name?"

Doll: "Ah Wu."

Miss Su: "Why are you barking like a tiger again?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you with embarrassing faces.

Jiang Li approached Miss Su, "Mother, he said his name is Ah Wu."

Miss Su looked around suspiciously, only to see Gu Qing and the others nodding hard.

Jiang Li: "Which witch word?"

A Wu: "The witch of a wizard."

Jiang Li put the package on the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Why is it called that?"

Ah Wu: "It was started by someone else."

Jiang Li: "Where are your parents?"

Ah Wu: "My parents have passed away, leaving me alone."

Miss Su took a deep breath, but Jiang Li was used to seeing many people without father and mother, and the chief manager of the South Hall was still the only one.

Jiang Li: "It's still too young, Gu Qing, where did you get it?"

Gu Qing sat on the other side of the table and answered slowly, "I went to the market early in the morning, but when it came to recruiting people in the south hall, no one came at all. When it was evening, this kid rushed to me and said he was coming .I said our conditions were not good, and he also said that it was okay, just take care of food and housing. Then I brought him back."

Jiang Li examined the doll, "How old are you?"

Ah Wu: "Twelve."

Miss Su looked at the child pitifully, and hurriedly explained, "Twelve is not young anymore, let's accept it."

Gu Qing winked secretly at Jiang Li again, meaning that such a cheap person would be gone if he missed it.

Although Jiang Li still found it strange, he couldn't say anything, so he accepted Ah Wu.

San Yue: "Ah Wu, go and take out all the quilts in the room, and put them on the rope in the backyard to dry."

Ah Wu hurriedly took out the quilts one by one, "But maybe it will rain today?"

Sanyue patted Ah Wu's head, "Silly boy, how can it rain in such a big sun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, even before the heat from March's exhalation disappeared, he saw a sudden thunder in the sky.Immediately afterwards, the clouds covered the bright red sun, the wind was violent, and the torrential rain broke out instantly.

Sanyue's hands haven't even been taken off Ah Wu's head...

March: "Hurry up, put away the quilt, put away the quilt."

Even though the two of them cleaned up quickly, the quilt was all wet.

The lobby of the South Building has become a place for collective drying of quilts.

I saw March and April quilts on the table, Gu Qing's quilts were placed on four stools, and July quilts were drying on the railing of the stairs.

Gu Qing propped the stove under the railing, and sat aside to add firewood to it. "...Only Miss Su and Jiang Li's quilts were not taken out to dry."

Jiang Li sat on the ground beside the stool, suddenly feeling malicious. "What the hell are you planning?"

Gu Qing stared at Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Today, do you all sleep together?"

March, April and July nodded wildly.

Jiang Li: "...my bed can't fit so many people."

Sanyue said miserably at the side: "Then I can only find Miss Su, she is so old and her health is not good, I don't know if she will catch a cold in the middle of the night."

Jiang Li lowered his head, "Well, it's better not to disturb my mother, come on, sleep on your side."

So only Gu Qing was left to extinguish the fire in the stove, and everyone entered Jiang Li's room together.

Five people slept in a row under a quilt, and they all put their hands flat on their chests in an orderly manner.

April: "I feel weird."

July: "I've seen them sleep like this in human coffins."

Everyone gave Qiyue a blank look, "Shut up, be careful and panic."

San Yue: "Squeeze in, there's Gu Qing."

So everyone lay flat and rubbed to the left.

Ah Wu fell asleep on the left side of Jiang Li, he looked at Ah Wu, and decided to ask.

Jiang Li: "You are a monster."

March, April and July suddenly turned their heads to look at Ah Wu.

Ah Wu smiled: "Yes, I was recognized by you, I am a bird demon."

A sudden silence struck.

March: "What kind of bird is it, beautiful?"

Ah Wu curled her lips: "I think I'm quite beautiful, but human beings don't think we're beautiful at all when we're all in black."

Si Yue frowned: "...all in black?"

Everyone reacted, "A crow spirit?"

Gu Qing, who was climbing the stairs, heard crows shouting from inside the house, and hurriedly looked around, "The windows are closed, how could crows fly in?"
