Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 72 Don't Move, Robbery

"The minister leads the order."

After receiving the imperial decree, Qian Yiping glanced at Xue Yi's men's uniform, saw that it was embroidered with a 鸂鶒 (Xī Chì, a water bird commonly known as a purple mandarin duck, the pattern of the seventh-rank civil servant's men's uniform), and smiled wryly in his heart.

I thought he was some kind of high-ranking official, but he was just a seventh-rank governor of the general administration. How could the emperor send such a small sesame official as an advance?
Thinking of this in his heart, Qian Yiping felt somewhat contemptuous towards Xue Yi, and his words were not as respectful as before.

Xiao Luozi looked at it and said with a smile: "Since the imperial decree has been announced, I have to hurry back here. Mr. Xue, you have to keep your eyes open here. If you have any knowledge, you can wait for the emperor to come and report it clearly." good."

Xue Yi nodded, Qian Yiping wanted to ask Xiao Luozi to eat and drink, but he didn't want him to even look at him, and just gave him the back of the head.

"Eunuch Luo...hey...this..."

Because Xue Yi came in the afternoon, and Qian Yiping hosted a banquet that night, Xue Hong found an excuse to leave the banquet early and returned to the pier.

I thought that my father had already mentioned these dock workers during the day, and the task should be completed in one go, but I didn't expect that there would be no more content.

This made Xue Hong have to complain about this broken system. It's really a madman's heart. Why do you have to take care of everything?If it wasn't for the experience points and merit points, wouldn't it be good for me to eat and drink in a warm room, my lord?I have to run out.

But, who told him to be the host who was relied on by this tiankeng system?Although Xue Hong kept complaining, she still came to the pier.

"Ah-"

He had enough clothes on, but he still couldn't stand Ye Feng Shuo Shuo, and sneezed loudly.

"Master, those workers are still working. It's not hard to find them at all."

"Still working? Oh my god..."

Xue Hong was already at this point, and it was time for the workers to rest, so she asked Tang Jiu to see where the workers were resting, but Tang Jiu came back just a few steps away.

Zhuxi nodded and said: "Last time I heard the handyman in the mansion mention that the workers in our capital port work overnight."

Ever since Die'er's incident happened, Xue Hong always explained to those who served her that she should pay more attention to the life of the underground people on weekdays, and told herself when she came back.

At the beginning, because the second master wanted to hear folk anecdotes, Zhuxi and his ilk asked everywhere for those short stories about picking up people's teeth and came back to tell Xue Hong, who knew that they were all beaten back by Xue Hong.

What he wants to hear are real events, not folk tales that have been "artistically processed". If he loves to listen to stories, he can listen to them for a few copper coins all afternoon, so why use them?
Talk too far.

Xue Hong walked in the direction pointed by Tang Jiu, these workers were really working.It's just that they are all wearing single clothes, their faces are purple from the cold, their fingers are as cold as carrots, and there are soldiers urging them from time to time, which is really unbearable to see.

But this time the side mission unlocked was to help these workers, and Xue Hong really couldn't think of how to help.

give money?It is estimated that when he turned around and left the money, these soldiers ransacked it.

hire?Although their Xue family is a rich family, they can't hire poor people to work every time they go to a place, can they?The Xue family has only a few masters, so they don't need so many people to serve them.The work in the caravan needs to be cultivated according to size, and it is difficult to "pick up" it halfway.

Second Master Hong was walking dully, when soldiers saw them over there.It was none other than Da Mao who was kicked by Zhao Tou during the day.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Xue? Why are you here?"

Xue Hong raised her eyes to look at him, and asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't Zhao Tou ask you to be a worker? Why are you still wearing this skin?"

This is an ugly saying, people wear clothes, only animals wear skins.

Da Mao nodded and bowed: "Hey, what, how can it be, Zhao Tou is playing with me. You see, it's so late, why don't I treat you to a bar, I don't know if the young master will appreciate it? "

Although I don't know why Xue Hong came to the pier so late to blow the cold wind, but according to Da Mao's thinking, dealing with this group of dandies, there is no such thing as flattery and flattery. The wages of these poor ghosts will be over.

Unexpectedly, he reminded Xue Hong that when he went out this time, he not only brought all the money in his small treasury, but also the expenses prepared by his father, which was 300 taels of silver.

He took out a 50 tael banknote from his pocket and handed it to Tang Jiu: "Take our carriage to a restaurant in the city and ask for some wine and meat. The wine should be strong, and it will be brought warm. Meat, Come next to mutton and beef, if there is not enough pork, it doesn’t have to be very delicate, as long as it tastes good and is cooked through, come for fifty catties, and then ten baskets of meat buns, go and come back quickly.”

Tang Jiu was dumbfounded: "Master, this is..."

"My lord, I'll treat the workers to dinner."

"Hey, come on~"

Just as Tang Jiu was about to leave here, Xue Hong called out: "Come back, let this guy accompany you. He is from the local area and knows the place, which can save a lot of time."

Seeing Xue Hong pointing fingers at him, Da Mao was just about to be proud of his reuse, when he heard Xue Hong open his hands and ask him for a purse: "Where's your money? Take it all out. Young master, I'm going to treat everyone to dinner now. Your money is also counted, as if you invited me."

Da Mao was stunned, and said to himself that the things you asked for just now can't cost 50 taels of silver at all, and you are still thinking about what I mean by so little?
Tang Jiu and Zhu Xidu's guts were about to burst from laughter, but they couldn't help but dare not laugh out loud, and their master started to treat people again.

Seeing Da Mao stunned, Xue Hong didn't talk nonsense, and gave Tang Jiu a wink, Tang Jiu understood, and went to search immediately.

This time Da Mao finally came to his senses, well, he was robbed by the young master from the capital.

What can I do then, give it.

"Don't, don't, don't dare to dirty the nobleman's hands, the little one can take it by himself."

As a result, Tang Jiu shook the money bag handed over by Da Mao. He roughly estimated that there were three or five taels of silver in the money bag.Xue Hong's eyes dimmed, good guy, he casually carried a few taels of silver with him, this soldier's life is going well.

He sneered and raised his voice: "This soldier is kind and wants to treat you to dinner. We can't let him down. Jiu'er, remember to use this soldier's money first when you pay the bill. If it’s not enough, let’s add more.”

"Hey, I see~"

Tang Jiu held back a smile and dragged Da Mao, who was stunned, to leave. Another soldier stood up from the side, and said anxiously: "Hey, why are you leaving? What should we do here? I have to hand in work tomorrow morning." !"
