I saw an ordinary small private house on the edge of the harbor in The Hague.
Although it is very close to the harbor, the terms residential and luxury in this area are not related. Because it is too close to the harbor, the environment is inevitably too humid and unclean, so there are still some families who are not considered wealthy living here.
Although the current small private house is far from luxurious, it is still spacious.
The most valuable thing is that this yard is very clean.
Whether it’s the bird feathers and fish scales that are common in ordinary seaside houses or the piles of oyster shells that fishermen often pile haphazardly in the yard, they have all been cleaned up in this small yard, and even a few pots have been planted. The eye-catching dwarf flowers look delicate and full of life.
Those potted flowers are not local varieties in Haizhou - being able to support flowers from other places in a place like Haizhou that is humid and hot all year round shows the energy the owner has spent.
The current owner of the courtyard is naturally a woman. She has a graceful figure and exquisite facial features. She is wearing the most ordinary fisherman's clothes. Her waterfall-like black hair is tied behind her head under the lower brim of her cloth hat. She is just a simple figure. It's just a wooden hairpin inserted.
Her appearance was incompatible with this simple courtyard, but her every move seemed so natural and skillful.
Of course it was Zhang Siqiao.
She had just finished working in the kitchen and was walking out carrying a large wooden plate. She pushed her elbow against the door with some difficulty, moving very carefully.
There are many bowls placed on the wooden plate. The bowls are filled with porridge, boiled with a lot of shrimps, crabs, shellfish and finely minced pork dumplings. Added with shredded ginger and a little salt, it is enough to make people want to eat.
Eight bowls, but only a wooden spoon.
"Beautiful sister, let me help you!"
A girl's voice rang out, but Mao Mao rushed out from somewhere in the yard and opened the door for Zhang Siqiao.
Rabbit Legs also followed behind her, and hurriedly came forward to take the wooden plate from Zhang Siqiao's hand - he originally wanted to help, but seeing that this NPC's appearance was really outstanding, he was a little subconsciously afraid. Mao Mao was angry, but he didn't expect Mao Mao to see the beauty and rush ahead of him.
"You two bodyguards have worked so hard. Go and rest quickly. I'll just do this!"
Zhang Siqiao's tone was a little anxious.
After redeeming himself from Yihong Mansion in Haizhou, Zhang Siqiao returned to his brother Zhang Sihai's home, and the two lived together temporarily.
But one more person means one more expense. She naturally knows that she should find a way to find a job. She can't just rely on it. What will happen to Sihai in the future?
She initially went to Haizhou's interface to try out the work, but after actually going there, she discovered that there were many more problems than she thought.
She doesn't know how to do complex things like medicine shops and accounting offices. After so many years in Yihong Mansion, she has spent all her time learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and drinking and chatting. How can she find the time to learn these very professional skills? A strong job?
As for those simple things, such as the cook and the counter, Zhang Siqiao did try it a few times.
It's a pity that her appearance always brings her trouble.
She was born beautiful, and with the years of nurturing and training at Yihonglou, Zhang Siqiao had a different temperament from ordinary civilian girls just walking on the street.
You can imagine how such a woman would be harassed when working in a place that hired casual workers.
So under Zhang Sihai's strong opposition, she had to quit these jobs. Even if she was free at home, of course she was worried about her family's expenses.
Therefore, when his younger brother Zhang Sihai said a few days ago that he had received a big job and could earn a lot of money, Zhang Siqiao was both happy and extremely worried.
"Don't be afraid. This trip is to send the escort to Blood Harbor. We have the escort from Qimen Escort Agency going with us. What could happen?"
Zhang Sihai patted his chest and promised like this.
But a few days later, when his brother Zhang Sihai's boat sneaked back to Haizhou from Xue Port, the number of people disembarking was not reduced but instead increased.
The escort was missing Chi Shaoxia, but Lu Ren who went there was kidnapped by Wuhua Da.
There were actually eight children who came back together!
"Go buy some food. These children will have to hide in our house for a few days."
Zhang Sihai slapped the much thicker money bag on the table, but the expression on his face was completely indescribable.
Han Dongwen did give him a lot of money.
But it also really gave him a big trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Siqiao, who was originally worried about what kind of work he would do, now has to cook for these strange children and the tied-up Lu Ren.
"Sister, are you really Zhang Sihai's sister? You are so beautiful!"
Shao Mao stared at Zhang Siqiao intently and almost bumped into the door several times.
Zhang Siqiao smiled shyly and nodded slightly.
These two alien bodyguards seemed different from the Daqimen bodyguards she had seen in the past few years.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the escorts of Daqimen in Haizhou are walking sideways like crabs. Not only the escorts of Qimen, but also the only people in Daqimen who like them in Haizhou are probably the only ones who are better than them. The higher-level National Army Division was shocked.
The yard is not too small, but in a few words, we can reach the side room.
This place was originally used as a warehouse by Zhang Sihai, but it has now been cleaned up, and several bunks have been laid on the ground. The children are lying on them, motionless like puppets on the ground, looking up at the beams.
"What is it about these children that..."
Zhang Siqiao asked with some distress, while squatting down to feed these children porridge one by one.
They all have the most basic physiological reflexes and can swallow and breathe.
For them, this was a blessing in disguise.
Fluffy and Bunny Legs couldn't answer her question, and they felt bad.
"By the way, when I went out this morning, I don't know why the streets were under martial law. The soldiers from the Daqi Gate were all over the streets. I heard they were arresting strangers, so you two should not go out."
Zhang Siqiao nervously told Mao Mao and Rabbit Legs. They looked at each other and said doubtfully:
"Catch strangers? What are you doing to catch strangers?"
For these two people who regard playing games as a date, they don’t have the habit of reading forums while playing games. If Zhang Siqiao hadn’t told them, they would have had to go offline and browse the forum when they were bored to find out that such a big thing happened in Haizhou. one thing.
Zhang Siqiao shook his head: "Who knows? Some people say that yesterday many strangers started fighting with Daqimen. Some people say that there are tricks among the strangers. Some people say that His Highness may really want to come to Haizhou."
Hearing what she said, Mao Mao suddenly asked: "Beautiful sister, aren't you worried that we are cheating?"
Zhang Siqiao was stunned, looked at Fuzzy and Rabbit Legs, pursed his lips and shook his head: "You two are not bad people. Even if there are bad people in Daqimen Yiren, I will believe you."
After hearing this, Mao Mao smiled so hard that he showed his fangs and said happily: "Of course we are good people! Look, there are the most bad guys in Daqimen! No, there are many Blood Harbors, and there were many in West Asia back then..."
She was confused as she talked.
Perhaps the person who stands opposite to you is the worst person in the world.
"Inside the Daqimen..."
Zhang Siqiao seemed to have remembered something, blinked and looked out the door.
"I heard that there was a good person in Daqimen back then."
"Daqimen?" Rabbit Legs asked angrily.
Zhang Siqiao nodded: "I entered Yihonglou very early. I was young at that time. Yihonglou was also called Jianhailou. My sister in the building at that time told me that the previous shopkeeper of Jianhailou was A good man."
"Who is the current shopkeeper, and who was the last one?" Shao Shao asked.
Zhang Siqiao smiled: "The current manager of Jianhailou is called Yang Facai, and he is the second young master of Daqimen. If the master of Daqimen retires, he will probably take over Daqimen."
"When I first entered Jianhailou, the sister in the building told me that the original shopkeeper of Jianhailou was the younger brother of the second young master, the third young master of Daqimen. It seemed...it seemed that they used to call him Xiao Kaiye."
