Gao Yiye soon arrived at the Chenghuang Temple and met the third lady. Arrangements were made for a large number of faithful men and women to go out of the city to see Daoxuan Tianzun's apparition, and some food was given to them along the way.
By the time she finished her work, it was already dusk.
When they returned to the bookstore, they saw four brothel girls waiting uneasily for their new "master" to come back. As soon as they saw Gao Yiye, the four girls immediately blessed each other and whispered: "Mother, daughter We are new here and don’t know my rules, so please give me some advice.”
This title shocked Gao Yiye.
Just a few days after she turned sixteen, she was called "mother". Four people called her daughter to her, which was really scary.
Li Daoxuan couldn't help laughing: "Yiye, they thought you also ran a brothel, and that's what you wanted to do when you bought them back."
Only then did Gao Yiye understand that he was being treated as the new old madam. This... He was only sixteen years old and was already being treated as an old madam. How could he bear this?
He quickly shook his hands and said, "No, no, you misunderstood. I bought you back, not what you thought."
The four brothel girls felt uneasy and asked tentatively: "Then... what does mother mean?"
Gao Yiye didn't know how to respond for a moment: "Alas!"
Li Dao
Gao Yiye understood now, and quickly took out the little book and gestured at the four girls.
Those four brothel girls thought they had left one brothel and entered another. Now after listening to what she said, they suddenly realized that someone would actually invite them to paint? This is too... strange, right? "
A girl couldn't help but asked weakly: "Mom, if my daughter dares to ask... we... can be... considered a good person."
Gao Yiye blinked his big eyes: "Don't you want to be a good person?"
The four girls were stunned, and then shed tears at the same time: "I have been dreaming about this, but I didn't expect that the dream would become a reality today."
Li Daoxuan sighed: "Yiye, let them change their clothes, put on ordinary cotton clothes, wash away the lead, and forget about the past.
The four girls went into the back hall to change clothes and take off their makeup.
Gao Yiye looked at the sky with a sad look on his face: "Tianzun, before I came to the county town, I was having fun in the village every day. Seeing the bustling and bustling village, I forgot about the severe drought outside. Recently I came to the county town twice in a row and saw that people outside were in such pain... I felt so uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do right away? I really want to help them right away."
Li Daoxuan sighed softly: "Don't worry, you are already doing it! You are standing in the county seat now just to save them."
Gao Yiye: "I always feel that I haven't done enough..."
When the two of them were talking about this, Li Daoxuan suddenly said "Hey", and the "attention" point swept across the door of the bookstore, and saw a familiar wild little man, who had just turned over and dismounted at the door of the bookstore.
It is the county magistrate Liang Shixian!
Liang Shixian actually came to the bookstore.
Li Dao
Gao Yiye quickly acted as he was told.
Li Daoxuan's attention also completely turned to Liang Shixian.
I saw Liang Shixian standing at the door of the bookstore, raising his head, looking at the plaque of "Chengcheng Bookstore", and looked at it deeply for a long time.
Li Daoxuan understood immediately: this guy already knew that something was wrong with the bookstore. With his intelligence, he guessed that the backstage of the bookstore was the "Li Family". He stood here in a daze, probably still thinking about how to deal with the "Li Family" .
Master Shaoxing followed from behind, leaned into Liang Shixian's ear, and whispered: "Dong Weng, it's not time for a showdown with the Li family yet..."
Liang Shixian nodded: "Don't worry, I have no intention of showing off, I just came to take a look."
After saying that, he sighed deeply and looked at the people who came in and out of the bookstore, received flour, and ran out happily, with complicated eyes: The Li family is too powerful, there is a lot of food, if I have so much food, Why worry...
well!
Feeling despondent, he turned around and wanted to leave again.
Li Daoxuan didn't have much idea at first. When he saw Liang Shixian's actions, suddenly, a picture that had been sealed in his mind for a long time lit up. It was the second time Liang Shixian came to Gaojiacun. At that time, he saw the cement road and was quite tempted. , and asked Thirty-Two how this road was made.
But Thirty-Two gave him a warning: There was a severe drought and it was not suitable for road construction.
Liang Shixian gave up the idea.
As this scene flashed through his mind, Li Daoxuan suddenly had a plan: "Yiye, quickly call Mr. Wang, chase him out and grab the county magistrate, and tell him that our Li family has a big project to discuss with him. "
Liang Shixian turned around in despair, took two steps, and wanted to get on his horse. At this moment, Mr. Wang from the bookstore ran out, waved and shouted: "Your Excellency, please stay."
Liang Shixian's heart thumped: Oops, the Li family saw it. I really don't want to argue with them now for fear that they will know that I have noticed and stop giving food.
But after being greeted, there was absolutely no reason to run away. I had to turn around and smile at Mr. Wang: "It turns out to be Mr. Wang from Chengcheng Bookstore. I passed by here and took a look. There was nothing. thing."
Mr. Wang also smiled: "I have something, and I would like to ask the county magistrate for help."
Liang Shixian: "Huh?"
Mr. Wang: "I believe the county magistrate has discovered that although I have been selling books recently, I am actually giving porridge to the people. All the food I have is taken from the Li family in Gaojia Village."
Liang Shixian's heart skipped a beat: I didn't make it clear, but you took the initiative to make it clear? Oops, isn't this going to cut off my food supply? Or, use the food cutoff to coerce the officer into doing illegal and disciplinary activities?
I was so panicked!
However, Mr. Wang said: "The county has a large population. I transported grain from Gaojia Village. During the more than 30 miles, many grain truck wheels were broken. The driver of the grain truck was also tired, so I have something to ask of you. Can you please ask the county magistrate to issue an order to build a better cement road from the county seat to Gaojia Village?"
As soon as he made this request, Liang Shixian was stunned.
Was there any mistake?
What's going on?
The world has been suffering from drought for many years, and the people are in dire straits. There are still Guyuan rebels and many groups of bandits making trouble outside, and there is a possibility of war at any time.
Under such circumstances, you actually want to build a road?
More than thirty miles! What a big project.
Do you want to bury the common people in the roadbed after exhaustion?
Just when he thought of this, he heard Mr. Wang say: "It's not a corvee, but a labor method. The road construction workers are given three kilograms of flour every day, which is funded by the Li family."
Without even thinking about it, Liang Shixian immediately replied: "This is a great plan! Do it! Build the road immediately, build the road immediately."
