Chapter 223: no one can rely on
Chapter 223 No one can be trusted
With Yu Zhi around, Shiliu and the others suddenly had a backbone, and the fear they had before had long since disappeared. They stopped and yelled loudly, "It's gone, it's gone, the bad guys were captured by the officials, there's no excitement to watch."
Lian Wu immediately shouted: "Selling flowers! Selling flowers! Delicate and beautiful flowers, buy them back and put them in a vase. They are cheap and affordable."
Cherry, "Pass by, take a look, take a look, our family has the best flowers."
A few pretty girls stood at the door, and then yelled so crisply, which really attracted a lot of people.
Three sticks for a penny? It's not expensive. Looking at the flower branches on display, they are not expensive vases, but ordinary jars, similar to the jars that hold salt and pickles at home. Put a few flowers in it, it's so beautiful. Smell it, it smells strange. If you can't afford spices, it's a good choice to fumigate the house with fresh flowers.
For a while, many people were really moved. Everyone had a herd mentality. I didn't plan to buy it at first, but when I saw others buying it, I also joined the ranks of buying flowers.
Just like this, you have three flowers, and she has five flowers. After a while, a few baskets of flowers are sold out. Several servant girls looked at the small pile of copper plates on the counter, all of them were very happy.
Especially mangosteen and carambola, it was the first time for them to sell things, and they found it interesting and fulfilling. The two looked at each other, envious of the three of Shiliu.
They are all the sons of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. In the Marquis Mansion, those who can be selected to work in the shop must have a well-connected family besides their own talents. The most important thing is that both the shop steward and the buddy are men.
Pomegranate and the others are all young girls, but they can open a shop outside like a man, which is so enviable.
They couldn't help thinking: If they serve with all their heart, will the third young lady also ask them to help in the shop? With this idea in mind, the two worked even harder.
Yu Zhi is also happy. Even though she knows that this small pile of copper plates may not be worth a small piece of silver, what she enjoys is the process of making money, the process of making something from nothing, adding up a little to make a lot!
As soon as Yu Zhi was happy, he started working on employee welfare immediately, "Cherry, I went to the restaurant at noon and asked for two meat dishes, and I will add more dishes today."
Everyone was overjoyed and more motivated, "Master, servant girl, let's cut some flower branches and sell them."
"Yes, yes, it will grow again after cutting, and it will not hinder the sale of potted flowers in spring."
"Boss, slaves can also help."
Even the mangosteen and carambola have called their owners.
Yu Zhi glanced at them, "What's the rush? Anything too much is worthless. We can live here for a few days this time, cut it slowly, and sell it slowly."
The water flows slowly, and it is best to sell until the first day of the new year. After the reputation is established, the business will be better in the future.
Selling flowers is not important. Yu Zhi is more concerned about Bai Youfu who was taken away. Even if his family is powerful and powerful, if he enters Dali Temple, he should be locked up for a day or two, right?
In the afternoon, Yu Zhi received a note saying that Bai Youfu had already been picked up by the Duke of Bai. Yu Zhi knew that she was too optimistic, the power of Duke Bai's mansion was greater than she imagined. He ran to her shop to molested, and only locked him up for a long time. Dali Temple couldn't even bear the pressure. Is it because Wen Jiuxiao is not in Beijing? Anyway, I have to keep that guy in prison for a night!
As long as she can keep him in prison for one night, she can give him a gift package that he will never forget.
The results of it? His oily skin was not broken at all, and he came out in good shape.
Yu Zhi is not happy, look, no one can be relied on, relying on others is not enough, you still have to do it yourself.
It was midnight again, Yu Zhi was standing in the wilderness, blowing the bitter cold wind, she felt that she was too difficult. I heard that Bai Youfu is afraid of snakes. It's winter and the snakes hibernate. Where can she get a snake?
In order to find a snake, she ran to the mountains outside the city in the middle of the night, smoked with fire, and sprinkled medicine. It took a lot of effort to get a snake. To be honest, this job is much more difficult than grave digging.
Holding the snake that he had so hard to get, Yu Zhi hurried towards Duke Bai's mansion.
Bai Youfu's room was still lit with candles, and there was the sound of cups and cups interlacing, as well as Bai Youfu's teasing with the maid.
Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows, drinking and having fun at such a late hour, is it because of the half-day tour of Dali Temple in the daytime? No, no, no! For a dude like Bai Youfu, I'm afraid that today's incident won't even make a splash in his heart!
In comparison, she was much kinder and found him a non-poisonous snake. Alas, the wind on the mountain was blowing like ghosts crying and wolves howling, she really didn't have the patience to poke another snake's nest.
Putting the snake in the house is not finished yet, in order to ensure the effect, Yu Zhi deliberately asked Xiaolu to send the snake into the bed curtain, and then she waited outside with a cat.
Hearing the scream, "Snake, snake, there is a snake! Ah, get rid of it!" Bai Youfu's voice was full of fear, and he lost his voice.
Yu Zhi glanced at the moon hanging on the top of the tree, and then left satisfied, well, now she can sleep well.
Not only did she have a good night's sleep, she also had a sweet dream. She dreamed of a battle between humans and snakes, oh no, to be precise, people were abused on one side, a group of snakes, as thick as a man's arm, hissing and spitting, chasing and biting people. The unlucky one who was bitten was naturally blessed.
Yu Zhi woke up with a smile, recalling the dream carefully, she felt that this should be some kind of hint, she had to go to the White House to check and accept the results of last night.
"What happened last night? Did thieves break into the mansion? I was screaming so badly that I was so scared that I didn't fall asleep half the night." Outside Bai Youfu's courtyard, two rough maids were sweeping fallen leaves, one with a sallow face and one with a sallow face. The sweeping girl with a sick face came slowly over with a broom.
The two women were actually talking about this matter, and when they saw someone asking, they inevitably had to show off, "What kind of thief? That's our eldest son." Lowering their voices, "I heard that they were bitten by a snake."
Sasao girl was surprised, "Really, there are snakes in such a cold day?"
"Of course it's true! I have a nephew who is serving in the eldest son's yard. I heard that two girls, Hongxiu and Tianxiang, accompanied the eldest son to drink last night. What, we all know the eldest son's temperament, isn't that true?" Are you going to drink on the bed?" The woman winked at the two of them and smiled ambiguously.
"And then?" Sasao girl asked.
"For some reason, a snake appeared on the bed. As for how the snake got in, how do we know? According to my nephew, the eldest son was bitten by a snake, and he is still biting that place." That place, what do you mean by being so excited? "Didn't you see the doctors who left the mansion early in the morning? We invited several of them last night."
"Really? That's too miserable!" Sasao girl also sympathized.
The woman came back to her senses, looked at Sasao girl, and asked, "Where are you from? Why do you look at me?"
The sweeping girl said: "I am new to the mansion. I just learned the rules and was assigned to the third lady's yard. But I fell ill and lost my good job. I asked the steward so I was not sent out of the house. I can only be a sweeping girl. This No, as soon as I recovered from my illness, I hurried out to work. It's too cold today, and I can't stand it any longer. Two ladies, I'm leaving first. "
"Let's go, let's go, I'm afraid you've been tricked." Otherwise, why did you get sick just after getting a good job? "I'm sorry, go back to the house to be warm." The two were quite sympathetic.
Sasao girl Yu Zhi got the information she wanted to know, and immediately withdrew.
