There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

"I still need two big maids and four ordinary maids." Wu Youwei said, "Do you have any here?

"Yes, there are, but... just because I'm afraid you don't like it." Old Dong said: "There are really two big maids here, who were sold by a rich family. It is said that they seduced their young master, but The two maids cried like a tearful person and said that they didn't have any, no, the others thought it was bad luck and refused to take over, so the younger one took over, and after a few days of enlightenment, they finally got better. Maid, can make tea, make clothes, embroider, plant flowers, and even know how to read

"Go and have a look." Wu Youwei found that the people he bought were basically old servants of other people's families, alas.

Old Dong led out the two big maids and four ordinary maids sitting behind.

The two big maids were really attractive, but their faces were sad, thinking that they were going to be sold to some dirty place after all.

On the other hand, the four maidservants were plain-looking, just looking clean and wearing plain clothes.

"Okay, that's good. How much are these six?" Wu Youwei thinks it's good, as long as they work honestly, everything will be fine.

"If you want everything, just give 50 taels." Old Dong said: "Two big maids, 15 taels each, four maids, [-] taels a person.

The price he gave was fair, and he could earn a tael.

The main reason is that he also takes good care of these maids, but they are too troublesome, and they can't play anymore when they cry... He just wants to deal with it quickly and cheaply.

Wu Youwei bought it and gave Lao Dong 50 taels of silver.

Well, a total of 29 people were bought.

Including the twelve children that Wu Youwei separated from the Wu family, the total number is 41 people, plus the youngest son and eldest granddaughter of the housekeeper of Wu's house, exactly 43 people.

There will still be children in the future, what a big family!

Wu Youwei is quite satisfied. He has money and food now, and he has confidence in his heart.

The most important thing is that the people he bought now are all his people, not people from the Wu Mansion.

With these people, they hired two big cars, women and children in the car, and men followed on foot, and went back to Wu Youwei's Sanjin courtyard in Beijing.

As soon as they left, a master came along with four followers to buy the embroiderer.

After walking around for a while, he quickly stopped in front of Lao Dong's booth: "Master, I heard that you have a mother and daughter named Xu Niang? Embroidering lady, the craftsmanship is good? Where is it? Master, I bought it."

Old Dong was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled apologetically, "Master, Xu Niang and her daughter have...be bought away."

The master was immediately dumbfounded: "Bought it?"

"Yes!" Old Dong said, "He's a good man!"

The master's cold sweat came down at that time: "Who bought it?"

"There is a gentleman who is very young. I didn't ask where he is from. I only heard that he lives in the suburbs of Beijing." Old Dong is a man of integrity, and the business keeps the information of both parties confidential.

"There are not [-] or [-] Juren masters in the capital. Which one is it?" The master seemed very anxious, and his eyes were fierce.

Now, Old Dong didn't dare to say anything!

What if it was seeking revenge?Or do you want to find fault with Xu Niang's mother and daughter?

At first glance, this Juren master...is definitely not a kind person!

With four, one is bigger and rounder than the other.

After dawdling for a long time, and asking for a long time, he didn't let Lao Dong open his mouth.

The person next to old Dong wanted to please the old man, but he was not old Dong, and the old man didn't like to listen to what he said.

For this, I was almost beaten!

It was Old Dong who pleaded: "He is just kind, kind!"

The old man had a very bad temper. After asking for a long time, he didn't find out what was going on. He flicked his sleeves and led the person away.

They left, Lao Dong wiped his sweat, who is this?

Fortunately, I didn't tell them what the young master's last name was.

The old man walked out of the street like the wind, went directly to a secluded teahouse next door, and entered a private room. When he left, he was majestic, but when he entered the private room, he immediately restrained himself a lot, and said in a dejected manner. : "I'm sorry, my lord, but the little one messed up the matter.

The lord put down the teacup in his hand, softly and silently, but it made the old man's heart skip a beat.

"Tell me, what's going on?" The person standing next to the adult was anxious: "That's Xu Niang!"

"In order to make her look more natural, I deliberately found someone who couldn't be sold to put Xu Niang on. It's been almost a month today, and I will buy her back again, so that no one will know. Even if someone checks, it will only find out that she was bought. As for who bought her, whoever we want her to be bought by then will be bought by whoever wants her!" The master was very frustrated: "But the little one today Went there, and the old Dong’s stall was sold out to many people in one go, twenty or thirty people were bought away, among them was Xu Niang, and her newly recognized daughter.”

"The business at his stall is usually so good?" The standing one asked: "The people in Beijing can probably sell more than a dozen teeth every day. If the business is good, they can only sell for two if they meet big customers." more than ten.

"That old Dong, his business is not good on weekdays. He is a bit of a bad guy. He has only been in this business for a short time, and he can barely make ends meet. The younger one let Xu Niang pass by him, and no one doubted it. Who knew that something went wrong!" The old man looked at the old man cautiously: "I asked the old man, and the old Dong said that the buyer is a old man who lives in the suburbs of Beijing."

The standing one sneered: "Masters in the suburbs of Beijing, there are eight thousand if not ten thousand!"

It was exactly the same as what the old man said to Old Dong!

"Who bought it and left?" Someone asked the master.

"It's very strange to buy, as if everyone wants it, not only the embroiderer, but also the jade carving master, the cook, the housekeeper, the big maid doctor, the carpenter..." The master ordered over and over again: "Special miscellaneous , Specifically what the buyer is doing back home, I only heard the master say that he just separated and needs manpower.

"Who doesn't bring people out when the family is separated? Did he get separated from the family alone?" Someone guessed: "Isn't the family divided and also distributed to the servants?"

"Send someone to investigate, there is no reason, it is impossible for someone to buy so many servants back at once." The adult finally said: "If someone knows Xu Niang's identity, then it makes sense.

"My lord, are you saying that that person did it on purpose?" The people in the private room were all shocked.

"I don't know." The adult said calmly, "Otherwise, how can you explain that a stall of Renyazi, who is not interested in people, sold so many servants of all kinds at once? Earned two or three months of expenses?"

The crowd was silent for a while, and then they jumped anxiously: "What about Xu Niang? That's it...was someone bought her?"

"Xu Niang is not an ordinary needlework lady. If there is a chance, she will send a letter back. If there is no news within three days, it is... that she was deliberately taken away..." The adult knocked on the table: "The place where people are sent to make contact is guarded by the needlework and embroidery room. If she is fine, she will go there to leave a message. If there is no news, something happened to her.

"Yes, my lord!" Someone among the crowd immediately went out to spread the news.

Besides, Wu Youwei took people back to his three-entry courtyard. Everyone thought this was home, but Wu Youwei told them: "This is just a foothold, everyone rest here first, and we will go home tomorrow.

The word "home" warmed everyone's hearts.

After they came back, they arranged these people in the back room. There were five rooms there, and they could still live in one room. The two old doctors lived in the east wing room. The maids lived in the West Wing.

Xiaoxiao and Wu Youwei live in the main house, while Wu Da, Wu Er, Da Shan and Master Jade Carving's family temporarily live in the inverted house.

Because it was already getting late, he reluctantly packed up the place to live. Chef Fang's family had just arrived, and there were no cooking utensils and ingredients here, so Wu Youwei asked Lin Butler to take Xiao Xiao and Da Shan out to buy some food for everyone.

Butler Lin was indeed very useful. He not only ordered four tables of meals in the restaurant, but also brought the bowls and chopsticks...they don't have any bowls and chopsticks here!

Because it was late spring and early summer, the weather was very warm, so there was no need to burn the stove to keep warm at night, because the renter had just moved out, some of the screens in the house were still usable, and there were not many small flying insects at this time.

Everyone slept soundly that night.

The next day I came to leave, but Lin Butler proposed to leave one day later, taking advantage of enough manpower, I wanted to tidy up the house.

"This house will belong to the master from now on. Whether it is used for a temporary stay or rented out, or to invite friends to stay, it needs to be cleaned. The people in front of here have not cleaned it carefully." Lin Butler suggested: "After cleaning We need to change the window screens, curtains and other things, and do we need to prepare pots and pans here? Is the master going to use it as a foothold in the future, or rent it out?"

Wu Youwei thought it made sense, but he had other plans for this place: "I have a few friends who live in rented houses in Beijing, and I want to let them live here. When I have nothing to do, I want to come and stay with them." Discuss the Four Books and Five Classics.

Wu Youwei was talking about Zhang Sheng.

This guy will be number one in the future, and the place where he lived will appreciate in value in the future!

"Okay." Lin Su has already inquired, the master is a juren, a juren.

"It's fine if you don't leave. I still have two shops here. I haven't visited them. I'll ask the housekeeper to help clean up the place today. Add whatever needs to be added. Write a list later and go out to do some shopping together." Wu Youwei said: "I am

go out and look at the shop

yes sir. "Butler Lin Su is quite comfortable with the new job.

Wu Youwei took Xiao Xiao and Da Shan out, leaving Wu Da and Wu Er to work with these newly bought people.

The two shops assigned to Wu Youwei by the Wu family are next to each other, not far from this house.

This place was originally close to the outer city, the location was not very good, so Wu Youwei simply occupied a good place for this house, it was the place where some small officials lived, but it was very quiet.

Don't look at these small officials and officials everywhere in the capital, but in the civilian areas, they are still special.

So the area is quiet and safe.

His two shops are outside this alley, which is a commercial street. The location is not very prosperous, but the flow of people is not bad. It is mainly a place where nearby residents buy things. Both of his shops are rented out. The annual pattern is one hundred taels of silver.Of course, he divided the house this year, and the shop has been rented out long ago, and the rent was not paid to him. If he wants to take back the shop or rent another one, he will have to wait until next year.Wu Youwei had read the lease contract. The shop was rented out in March, just before the separation, but the rent was not paid to him.hehe!

The two shops are not too big on the outside, but the inside is not small, and they belong to places with inner beauty.

One is a grocery store, buying and selling dry spices, salt, needles, thread, etc., as well as dried fruits, candied fruit and so on.

One is a restaurant, one is the boss and two guys, and the proprietress is acting as the shopkeeper and collecting money.

That is to make some home-cooked dishes, suitable for civilian consumption.

Wu Youwei looked outside, but didn't go in, so he took the people away. Although the two shops were transferred to his name, they were rented out, and he couldn't get them back for the time being.

The food that Steward Lin bought yesterday was bought in this restaurant. According to Chef Fang, the chef of this restaurant can only be said to be able to cook, but he is not a qualified cook, because the food he cooks is rich in oil. There is a lot of meat and a lot of salt.There is no color, fragrance, and it can only be an ordinary meal for ordinary people.Wu Youwei felt at the time that Chef Fang might be a master chef at the level of the God of Cookery.He found the treasure!
