The teahouse is not big, just two tile-roofed houses at the entrance of the alley, with a few rough tables and chairs. It was afternoon, but there were a few people drinking tea and chatting, giving it a picture of city life.
Ya Po warmly greeted several people and walked into the teahouse, found a large square table by the window for everyone to sit at, and then hurried into the room, yelling at his big brother to greet the guests.
Soon a honest middle-aged man in his thirties came out from the inner room, carrying a big teapot and adding hot tea to everyone with a silly smile.
"Do you want something to eat? Our store not only has good tea but also snacks." Ya Po said with a smart look on her face.
"I don't have that appetite, you mother-in-law, don't play all these tricks, come and sit down. My brother has some serious matters to ask you." Tang Potian was a little impatient, and Yapo smiled slightly awkwardly, waving his hand to let him know.
He walked away and sat down.
"What do you two want to ask?"
Chang Yu was a little embarrassed. What he was doing was a secret. If one less person knew about it, there would be less danger. But right now, there was a family of three strangers sitting in front of him. Yes, Little Apple and his family were also here.
Su Chenghuang is also an understanding person. Although Chang Yu only glanced up at him subconsciously, he understood and immediately stood up and pulled the woman next to him: "Let's go sit over there..."
This made Chang Yu a little embarrassed. His thoughts quickly changed and he raised his hand to stop Su Chenghuang: "It doesn't matter." He turned around and glanced at Ya Po: "Help me find two sets of courtyards, one inside the city and one outside the city.
It’s best to stay near Guangqumen in the east of the city. Just outside the city, it’s in the southeast direction. It needs to be settled within three days. This is the deposit.”
As he spoke, he took out a ten-tael silver ingot, looked at Ya Po's eyes gleaming, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to take him into his arms: "You have found the right person for this young master..."
"By the way, I'm hiring some handymen for me. Only men are allowed. Young and strong ones will be given priority. The more the better." Chang Yu interrupted Ya Po's boasting and said calmly.
"You will be satisfied within three days." Ya Po saw that the fair-skinned young man in front of her did not like to be wordy, so she straightened her expression and said, but he was not handsome for three seconds, and then showed his true colors and asked with a shy smile: "Just for this commission..."
"The commission will be ten taels after the work is completed, and you will be indispensable, but please remember two things: first, speed. Since you accepted the job, I will not let you go easily if you can't finish it within three days. Second, don't show off, my master acts like a boss."
Keep a low profile. If you cause any trouble for no reason, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Chang Yu's expression was stern, and Ya Po couldn't help but trembled, and kept saying: "That's natural, that's natural, I will go and do it for you now, and in three days the two gentlemen will come here to look for me."
After Yapo finished speaking, he stood up and left. After walking only three or five steps, he suddenly returned and sat down. Chang Yu and Tang Potian were confused. Just as they were about to ask, they saw a group of officers and soldiers passing by outside the window. Several people quickly turned around and picked up their teacups.
Act as if nothing happened.
"Two gentlemen, do you think this group of soldiers is looking for you?" Ya Po suddenly laughed in a low voice, with a sly look on his face.
With a bang, Tang Potian slapped the wooden table hard, causing the water in the tea cup to overturn. Everyone was shocked: "You old woman is seeking death. You want to rip me off and hit me on the head. Since my two brothers dare to attack that person,
Can these two hooligans be ordinary people? They really don’t know how to live or die and have no brains. Get out!"
"No, no, no, the old lady definitely doesn't mean that." Ya Po was shocked, and she got up and trotted away with a look of panic on her face.
Chang Yu had just come to his senses at this time and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. No wonder there is a saying that even if Che Puan Jiao Dian Ya is not guilty, he should be killed. It is really not unreasonable.
After Ya Po left, Chang Yu ordered some snacks. He actually didn't have much of an appetite, but he could tell that Little Apple was hungry. Sure enough, as soon as the snacks were served, the little girl's eyes lit up.
"You're hungry, eat quickly. Eat as much as you want." Tang Potian was extremely enthusiastic. He picked up a pastry and placed it in front of Little Apple. The little girl nodded shyly and thanked him, then picked it up and started eating slowly.
Go ahead, this shameless guy, Chang Yu really knows who Tang Potian is. He is extremely shameless. When he scolded Ya Po just now, he said without changing his expression that my two brothers started beating the dog. Oh my god.
, when I was working hard, he was watching a show, and now...
Seeing the intense gaze he was looking at Little Apple, Chang Yu knew that this old boy was in love, no, he was having sex.
"I still don't know what to call the two young masters?" Su Chenghuang didn't seem to notice Tang Potian's fiery eyes staring at his girl, but smiled and chatted with Chang Yu.
"Uncle Su, don't call me that. My surname is Chang Mingyu, and that short, fat, ugly man's surname is Tang Popo." He pointed at Tang Potian, but the guy's attention was not there at all.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chang." Su Chenghuang nodded and glanced at Tang Potian next to him, wondering why someone called him that name.
Chang Yu waved his hand: "No, please call me Xiao Chang."
"Brother Chang, I have a favor to ask of you." Su Chenghuang suddenly stood up with a cautious look on his face. The women beside him also quickly stood up, even Little Apple who was enjoying snacks.
"Uncle Su, please tell me something. If I can help, I will do my best." Chang Yu stood up and felt confused.
"I just heard that Brother Chang is buying a house and wants to hire servants. I boldly asked him if he could take my family in. I have no other needs. I just need a place to live and food to eat."
"This,..." Chang Yu was startled,
"Brother Chang, although the younger one is over forty, he still has some strength. My wife and daughter are also very handy, and are good at needlework. They can cook and cook. Please take me in, and be a cow."
Ma Duke." Su Chenghuang said and was about to kneel down.
Before Chang Yu could react, Tang Potian, who was beside him, helped Su Chenghuang.
Chang Yu was silent. Recruiting others was also a move. Su Chenghuang's family of three was living here. There was no fixed place to stay in the cold weather, and life was a problem. It was a good thing to take him in and kill two birds with one stone, but he knew in his heart that what he had done was bloody.
, buying a house and recruiting people are all to prevent unexpected events in the future. At that time, looking at it, taking this family in will actually harm them.
Su Chenghuang observed his words and sighed deeply: "You are so reckless, Brother Chang, don't be embarrassed..."
"Mr. Chang..." Tang Potian looked at the silent Chang Yu with an anxious look on his face. Especially when he saw the melancholy and disappointed look in Little Apple's eyes, he couldn't help it and almost revealed his identity.
Chang Yu glanced at him, exhaled softly, and nodded: "Okay, there happens to be a shortage of people to take care of the house, so you can stay!"
In the end, he finally thought it through, taking it one step at a time. If he didn't take in this family, they might starve to death and freeze to death on the streets in a few days. Furthermore, even if he survived, what would be his chances of surviving when the city was destroyed?
Let’s talk about it later.
"Thank you, Master Chang." Su Chenghuang was overjoyed, and the family of three bowed to Chang Yu and thanked him repeatedly.
"I'm looking for an inn to stay in these days, and I'll meet you here in three days." Chang Yu said as he took out five taels of silver and put it on the table. Su Chenghuang was extremely grateful, and his mouth kept shaking as if he couldn't speak. The woman beside him
Already wiping away tears, Little Apple stared at Chang Yu secretly with wide eyes. This made Tang Potian sour that he reached out to touch his waist for some money, but he couldn't find a single hair after touching for a long time.
.
You have to spend money to pick up girls, Tang Potian hated it with itch.
The few chatted for a while, Chang Yu told Su Chenghuang a few words, and then he and Tang Potian got up and left. It was getting dark quickly in winter, so they had to return to the palace early.
"Eunuch Chang, are you leaving the palace just to find a house? Are you going to buy a private house? I didn't expect you to be so wealthy. I need to help you a lot in the future." On the way back, Tang Potian kept chatting.
.
Of course Chang Yu knew that this guy was trying to trick him, so he hit him with a stern look on his face and said, "Master Tang, we are all servants. We should obey orders and do our job well. Some things are not good if you know too much about them."
"Hey, Eunuch Chang, I don't mean that. We brothers are not outsiders. I'm just curious and say a few words. Don't be offended. Just pretend I didn't ask anything." Tang Potian calmed down the atmosphere with a shy face.
It was already dark when they returned to the palace. The two of them hurried back to the Prince's Mansion, but did not want to be told that the Prince was not in Ciqing Palace, so they went to the palace in the afternoon.
It seems that Chongzhen was very concerned about his son's dream.
