The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and Anyi County has ushered in a wave of raids on New Year's goods. Everywhere on the streets you can see mountain people who go into the city to sell their goods. After selling their goods, the mountain people use money to buy the items they want.
At the same time, the refugees brought by Wei Jian gradually integrated in. Many of these people came from wealthy families and did not need to check the money when buying things.
However, having money but no tickets makes people very helpless. Seeing that all kinds of good things on the street were not available, these people started to use their brains.
It's not that they are causing trouble, but that they are looking for various tickets. In particular, the price of private transactions for Gewu tickets increased more than thirty times overnight.
As one of the earliest ticket sellers in Anyi County, Liu Zhang has been making a lot of money recently. (Liu Zhangshi: Chapter 176, the Han woman saved by Liu Datou took the initiative to marry Liu Datou in order to repay her kindness.
) As one of the first members to join the City Guards, Liu Datou’s home was placed in the central area of the south of the city. Although the area was not large, it was enough for their family of five to live.
After Mrs. Liu Zhang married Liu Datou, she took over all the affairs of the family. Whether it was washing and cooking, or serving her parents-in-law, she did her best and no one could fault her at all.
Liu Datou has a younger brother who is five years younger than him. He is seventeen this year and is old enough to marry. Originally, this matter was supposed to be a matchmaker ordered by his parents, but his brother-in-law knew that his sister-in-law was capable and would not listen to his parents, so he wanted his sister-in-law to arrange it for him. This made Liu Datou's parents very unhappy.
My wife is a good wife, but are you too lenient? This is what it is like to be a parent. Life-long events related to your own flesh and blood, you want to measure from the perspective of someone who has experienced it.
The girl Liu Zhang introduced to her brother-in-law was good, but her background was not very good. She was a singer who sang in a teahouse.
According to the thinking of Liu Datou's parents, their eldest brother is on duty in the city guard after all, and his younger brother will definitely be good in the future. Marrying a singer is nothing.
But what the old couple didn't expect was that after Liu Datou's brother saw the singer, he was also moved and shouted that he would not marry her.
The old couple had no choice but to take out their biological son, so they vented their anger on Mrs. Liu and Zhang. Once Liu's mother scolded her so hard that she even said that Mrs. Liu and Zhang had been fucked by countless men among the Huns... although she later found out. She suddenly stopped talking, but after this incident, Mrs. Liu Zhang became taciturn.
After Liu Datou learned about this, he didn't know how to comfort Liu Zhang. He didn't dare to say that his old mother was wrong. The times were like this. No matter how they were not parents, they were still parents after all.
Nowadays, his status has also increased. From a small team member to today's coach, he gradually became less interested in Liu Zhang, who was once a slave of the Huns. Instead, he envied his colleagues who married daughters from good families.
Otherwise, men are all big pigs. Just three days ago, Ms. Liu Zhang was no longer Ms. Liu Zhang. She took a little savings and left all the money she earned recently to Liu Datou, and then lived alone in Satellite City No. 3.
That's the singer's home. She and Liu Datou originally lived together and did not register their marriage, so it was easy to get together and get away.
What made people speechless was that Liu Datou had no intention of looking for her. Instead, he asked my mother to receive several matchmakers who came to talk to her.
After learning about this, Mrs. Zhang just smiled and took the singing girl to collect tickets all day long.
"Are you Zhang Hui?" Zhang Hui knew that he would not be able to make a living for long, but he did not expect that he would be targeted so soon.
Looking at the young master in front of him, Zhang Hui bowed with restraint and fear.
"My little girl, Zhang Hui, has met Mr. Xun." Xun You was stunned for a moment, and then asked with interest: "Do you know me?" Zhang Hui nodded and secretly waited for Xun You to be sentenced.
However, what she didn't expect was that Xun Or's next words were,
"I heard that you are eloquent and proficient in business. Are you interested in working in Wei?"
"Hmm...ah?" Zhang Hui exclaimed in disbelief. Xun or said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised. I am not joking with you casually, and what you do is not as hidden as you think. I have such a thick stack of information about you on my desk." gesturing with his fingers.
Zhang Hui's pretty face turned red. She was no longer young or old. It seemed that her smart behavior was no more than a child's play in the eyes of a real big shot.
Xun or then said: "Actually, it was the Second Master who asked me to come out to recruit you." Zhang Hui's expression changed, "The Second Master, the only Second Master in Anyi, is that one!"
"You should know about the newly opened bathhouse in the city. How about it? Are you interested in running it? Because of the special relationship, the owner of the bathhouse is not suitable for men. You are a good candidate. I suggest you consider it. This is An opportunity." Zhang Hui glanced at the singer next to him, then nodded heavily and said in a low voice: "Thanks to the Second Master's generous attention, I am willing to give it a try." How could she not know about the bathhouse that opened today, if nothing else? As a ticket seller, she must know everything related to business in Anyi County as soon as possible to avoid missing important information.
However, she didn't expect that one day she would be able to become a full-time shopkeeper. She just didn't know which bathhouse she wanted to work in, and whether it was close to Satellite City No. 3 where she now lived.
"Oh, by the way, you have to manage not just one bathhouse, but all the bathhouses in Anyi County. There may be several more opened in the future. These things will be left to you in the future." Xun You pointed. The carriage on the side should go first.
Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart. This shopkeeper was not an ordinary shopkeeper, but a real big shopkeeper!
Following Xun You, Zhang Hui asked curiously: "May I ask Mr. Xun, why does the second master dare to entrust such an important matter to me, a woman, to manage it? Aren't you afraid that I will mess it up?"
"Is it an important thing?" It’s hard to explain too clearly, I just dealt with it with a smile.
"Substitute?" Zhang Hui's face changed. He couldn't read a book. Thinking about it, if he were not a woman, maybe the big shopkeeper wouldn't be able to take over for him. Just now, Mr. Xun made it clear that they just needed a woman. The shopkeeper is just acting cheaply.
"Okay, I won't be rude. You can report directly to the main hall in the north of the city in a moment. I will let people know. From now on, it's up to you." Xun You got on the carriage.
Zhang Hui nodded and watched him leave. When Xun Yu's carriage went away, the singing girl on the side said enviously: "Sister Hui, you don't have to act based on people's faces anymore." In order to exchange for a large amount of bills, Zhang Hui walked around the city guard and the city every day. In the family section of the Guards, there were some people who liked money and talked easily, but most of them scolded her for being shameless or greedy, especially those who knew the market, who scolded her the most.
Zhang Hui smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I don't know whether it is good or bad to go here." The singer nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Zhang Hui's belly, frowned and said, "Sister Hui, you are pregnant." The matter..." Zhang Hui's expression changed, he touched his slightly bulging belly, pulled his clothes to cover it, shook his head and said, "I can only hide it for now." After hearing this, the singer stepped forward and hugged Zhang Hui's belly. He held his arm and comforted: "It's okay. Now that my sister has become the big shopkeeper, the days will only get better and better... By the way, sister, let's think about what to name the child." Zhang Hui knew this background. The poor girl was comforting herself. She smiled and touched her head and said, "I have already thought of a name. If the boy is named Zhang Ping, it will be fine as long as he is safe for the rest of his life."
"What if it's a female doll?"
"If you're a girl... she'll be born when the spring flowers are in full bloom, so let's call her Chun Hua."
