Chapter 121
Shen Ying didn't expect that she would do such a thing.
In the twenty years or so when she had no concept of love, the most she had was an interest in paper dolls.
Only paper people conform to all aesthetics, and are neither greasy nor treacherous.
She really wanted to try the feeling of love, and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to act it out, so she just played around and spent a lot of money.
But virtual is virtual after all, it cannot replace real emotions, and paper people can’t even give a hug.
Could it be that I was too suppressed in my previous life, so now I want to make a move on the high-quality men around me in my dreams?
Shen Ying patted her face to get rid of those fantasies. "Work, work, no love."
"I'm sorry, I might have been in a bad mood recently. How about I go and see if there is any brothel here and find a clean one to keep." It's ancient times now, why would she care about monogamy?
Qi Yanchuan was so angry that he was shaking.
The charming atmosphere that could have been created just now turned into a violent scene. "What, young man? Shen Ying, even if you only want physical pleasure, you should have come to me. Am I not clean? I didn't have any scandals in my previous life, and I haven't been with other women in this life. Why bother looking for someone far away?"
Shen Ying wondered why he was so angry. Was it because she had teased him in a dream?
"I'm doing this for your own good. I'm looking for someone who spends money cleanly. That's a business relationship. You're different. You're more important."
"Okay, then come to me when you want to, and remember to pay a little more than the waiter." Qi Yanchuan simply couldn't keep calm in this room anymore, so he turned around and walked out.
When he reached the door, he stopped. "I suspect that the people you're working with may be out of money. They recently sent wounded soldiers here. I've temporarily covered their medical expenses. You can use this excuse to test their strength next time you see them."
"Since this is all about money, you should keep this setting steady. The struggle to pursue the core of imperial power is not as simple as we can imagine."
Shen Ying also suppressed her surprise and confusion, and responded heavily: "I know, you..."
"If you have any problems, send someone to find me. I'm at your service at any time, but I don't want to see your face now. Sorry." Once you see it, you can't help but do something.
Shen Ying was stunned again.
Why is my uncle here?
but……
Shen Ying held up her chin and thought, if Hu Xianfeng and the others can't come up with the money, will they still cooperate?
This was Shen Ying’s first reaction.
Instead of going to the barracks, she went to town to pack up.
She did want to buy someone.
But he was not buying a maid, nor was he buying a young male prostitute as he had casually made up.
It was because of the dark circles under Qi Yanchuan's eyes and his haggard appearance that he wanted to find someone to serve him.
It is definitely not suitable for a woman to go there, as there are only reserve soldiers and wounded soldiers there. In short, 99% of them are men. If a little maid goes there, she may only bring hidden dangers and cannot protect herself.
It's a pity that Zheng Qiang has to stay in town to look after the store for her, otherwise Zheng Qiang would be a good choice.
After walking for a while, Shen Ying chose a mutton soup restaurant.
The aroma from the mutton restaurant was enough to attract Shen Ying, who was also hungry and had not yet had brunch, and the same was true for Zheng Li.
"Let's just eat something first." Shen Ying was confused by Qi Yanchuan's words this morning. She hitched a car and went to the town without eating breakfast.
I'm really hungry.
So I called the boss and ordered a large bowl of mutton with meat and bones, and two bowls of soup.
The meat was served, steaming hot and smelling delicious.
To be more specific, this basin is comparable to Shen Ying's washbasin.
It's full of mutton, mutton bones and mutton offal, without any vegetables at all.
"Eat, if it's not enough we can order more." Shen Ying called.
Zheng Li responded with “eh, eh” twice.
Looking at the mutton on the table, I felt my saliva was about to flow down. I carelessly poked the chopsticks directly into a piece of meat and started to chew it.
The piece of mutton was as big as a baby's fist, and Zheng Li finished half of it in just a few bites.
With food in my stomach, I feel warm and comfortable.
"Eat your fill. If it's not enough, we can order more." Shen Ying waved her hand again and asked someone to bring a few more bowls of soup.
She is enough, but finishing is a big appetite.
It was dinner time and the mutton soup stall was doing good business.
In addition to those at Shen Ying's table who ordered pure meat, there were also people who could not afford pure mutton and would choose to buy a bowl of offal mutton soup with radish cubes. It was very cheap, but it also contained vegetables, meat and soup, so many people bought it.
The bone soup is already delicious enough, and the side dishes are just garnishes.
After eating and drinking, go and see how Good Luck works.
Now that so many people have passed through the town, the county government has been taken over by someone else. Although it is said that a new county magistrate has been appointed, the people are still worried.
Except for the food stalls and cloth shops, which remained largely unchanged, other businesses were finding it difficult to operate.
Shen Ying's good luck is even greater because everyone's poor business has a direct impact on the popularity of her shop.
"Forget it. I'm not trying to make money from this shop. You guys should still eat and drink. I'll see if I should open another shop after a while."
Ah? The shopkeeper can open a new shop.
What kind of strength is this!
Shen Ying left Haocaitou and went to the middleman to select two people who were willing to sell themselves. After careful selection, she chose a short and simple-looking one. "It's you."
The other person still had tears on his face. He knelt down and begged Shen Ying to choose him as well.
He is willing to do anything, even to kill or to chop.
But Shen Ying won't choose him.
Because after choosing these two people, the middleman helped her avoid the threat. This person followed her old master and sold herself for her old master.
If Shen Ying wants someone who is absolutely loyal, I'm afraid this one won't work. "Because his master is still alive."
Shen Ying then decided to eliminate this one and choose another one.
He was brought here by the owner himself to be sold. He had long since let it go and only hoped that in the future he could meet an owner who would provide him with enough food and warm clothing.
When Zheng Li heard the middleman say that this man called Dunzi ate eight steamed buns for one meal and drank a large bowl of water, she was surprised and said, "He only ate half as much as I did."
"One-half?"
Looking at Zheng Li's figure and her genuine love and loyalty to Shen Ying, Dunzi felt that he seemed to have finally found the wise master he wanted.
"As long as I can eat, I'm willing to do anything, even risking my life! I've practiced it, and my feet don't even hurt when I walk on gravel!"
puff.
Shen Ying smiled. "Well, you have a great skill, but I don't need you to do anything dangerous. My husband is busy with his career outside, and he needs someone to take care of him.
But I am also busy with my business and cannot spare the time, and the maid is not suitable to go to his place, so I will choose someone to be his. As long as you take care of his food and clothing, and supervise him to take some time to take a walk every day, and don't plunge into chores, it will be fine.
Go over there and just do what I say, and don’t listen to anyone else.”
