Li'er and Mo'er grew up very quickly, and now they have become independent stewards. Xuan Niang and others often praise them. This time when they came to Yongshan Hall, Ye Zhenzhen specially summoned the two of them and made another mistake.
Award.
"Are you still living in the servants' quarters in Guose?"
When Li'er and Mo'er left the Wei Mansion, they were given to Qiu Yan for training, and they also lived with Guose's servants. It seems that they have not changed their residence after moving to Yongshan Hall.
Li'er and Mo'er's answers confirmed Ye Zhenzhen's guess.
Ye Zhenzhen pondered for a while and said: "I'm not worried about where you two girls will live. Later, you can rent a small courtyard nearby to live in. The monthly rent expenses will be paid by the charity."
The reason for this decision was that the servant quarters of the club were a mixed bag of people from all walks of life, and it was really inconvenient for two beautiful girls, Li'er and Mo'er, to live there.
Li'er and Mo'er looked at each other, and Li'er said: "Thank you Madam for your grace. It is difficult to rent the nearby yard. The slaves have a request. There are several unused rooms in the back hall of Yongshan Hall. The slaves boldly request to live in them."
, please also ask Madam for permission."
Ye Zhenzhen frowned and thought for a while, then Xuan Niang reminded her: "Madam, that is a yard specially used for storing sundries. There are several rooms that are vacant and no one has lived in them for a long time."
In Xuan Niang's opinion, those narrow utility rooms were unfit for human habitation.
But Li'er and Mo'er were born in misfortune, and although they later enjoyed some good life, they were just like a girl in the mirror. Due to their background, they didn't think there was anything unacceptable in the utility room.
It feels much safer than living outside.
Only then did Ye Zhenzhen remember it. After hesitating for a while, she finally agreed, but she still told her: "You guys can stay here for the time being. Don't be in a hurry to find a house. Pay more attention on weekdays. You must find a kind family. It will be suitable."
Move over."
Li'er and Mo'er were both grateful.
Aunt Ye was very emotional when she saw this, and secretly said to her eldest daughter: "When I saw these two girls in the Wei Mansion before, I always felt that they were coquettish and not good girls. But now that I see them again, I feel that they have clear eyebrows and are upright.
Lin said all day long that 'those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black', which shows that there is some truth in this saying."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked with a smile: "Mother, which one is red and which one is black?"
Only then did Aunt Ye realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she clapped her mouth in annoyance: "Look at me, I just learned a saying and used it randomly. I didn't mean to say anything bad about Wei Mansion, I just lamented that the two girls have changed so much.
.”
"My mother, what are you doing by yourself?"
Ye Zhenzhen quickly took Aunt Ye's hand and said helplessly: "We are all family members. It's okay if we accidentally say the wrong thing. I was just joking with you."
Aunt Ye was a little embarrassed: "I'm used to this, aren't I?"
"This is a bad habit and needs to be changed."
Ye Zhenzhen said seriously, and then laughed: "Okay, mother, I won't tease you anymore. It's rare to go out, why don't you go to the Guose next door to have a rest and let the female masters give you a rest?
You can massage it to loosen the muscles and bones, and I will come back to you when I'm done."
Although Guose is well-known in the capital, Aunt Ye, as the mother-in-law of the owner, rarely comes to Guose to enjoy health and beauty services. There is no other reason. Those who go to Guose are all powerful ladies from the capital. I learned that Mrs. Ning Guo’s mother is also there.
Later, they often went to visit her. Aunt Ye was used to it and couldn't cope with such scenes, so she gradually didn't like it anymore.
She hesitated: "You didn't want to send me away specifically, right?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "...It's nothing. Mom, you are overthinking it. I'm just dealing with some things."
When she said this, Aunt Ye couldn't hold on, and after several warnings, she went to Guose not far away.
Without her mother's control, Ye Zhenzhen felt a little more free. She invited Xuan Niang and others to have a small meeting. As soon as it ended, there was a noise downstairs.
The long-awaited show is finally here.
Ye Zhenzhen did not go downstairs, but stood upstairs and watched coldly. She saw a middle-aged woman wearing coarse cloth approaching Yongshan Hall while crying, and finally sat down directly in front of Baishan Hall and started talking.
He yelled and cursed at the top of his lungs.
"Yongshantang has lost its conscience! It colluded with medicine halls to sell counterfeit medicines. My man's condition was not serious at first, but the doctor said he would be cured by taking only three doses of medicine. As a result, I went to the Xuanjitang designated by Yongshantang to get medicine. My family
The man drank three doses and not only did he not get better, but his condition became worse and worse."
Her voice was loud and powerful, and she clearly explained the cause and effect. She did not look like an emotionally out-of-control patient's family member. Of course, she was here specifically to cause trouble.
There were more and more people around, and the woman howled more and more respectfully, and even interacted with the people watching: "Folks, please give me your opinion. Baishantang is trying to gain fame, but it will cost the lives of us people."
! I also brought the dregs of medicine. If anyone takes a look at it, they will know that the medicine inside is not old enough, the medicine is not strong enough, and it is not good to eat at all!"
Baishan Hall has a very high image in the minds of the people. Most people don't believe it when a woman suddenly comes here. After all, the good deeds done by Yongshan Hall are obvious to all. How can someone just come and cry and be casual?
Then I believed it.
But the woman came prepared. Since there were people singing operas, there were people riding the sedan chairs. No, there were people in the crowd who fanned the flames and set the rhythm: "No wonder Xuanji Hall is such a big pharmacy. Poor households holding charity cards can get a silver tael exemption.
It turns out that the medicine used is fake! Folks, our lives are cheap. No one cares about us even if we die. Some people are using our lives to gain reputation."
The insinuation is obvious.
As long as someone starts to set the pace, the audience will easily be led by the nose. This is an eternal phenomenon, and some people have already followed the other person's ideas.
Yes, Yongshantang needs to support so many poor households every month, including subsidizing money and medical treatment. Although some kind-hearted people donate money, it is not something that ordinary financial resources can support.
A lot of money is spent every day, and just a little bit from the fingers is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime.
Just thinking about it, the expenses of Yongshan Hall are shocking enough.
Besides, are there really people who don’t care about fame and wealth, but are willing to use all their money for charity?
"One general's success will lead to thousands of bones drying up. Folks, some people are paving the way with the blood, sweat and lives of our people! Why do you think the men in my family are sick? They are all sick from the work introduced by Yongshan Hall. Although
There is wages, but who knows how much commission Yongshantang takes from it? We are ignorant, maybe we count the money for others after being sold."
The woman continued to wail and curse, causing people's hearts to shake.
