As soon as Hu Guiyang entered the gate of his yard, he saw two smiling faces and said in surprise: "I obviously took back the key."

Jiang Erpi smiled and said, "Unlocking is a trick. Brother Gui Yang, no matter how solid the lock in the world is, it is not as safe as a living person. If we two brothers take care of your house, it is more effective than any lock."

"You two are the ones who are guarding against you." Hu Guiyang said this, but he didn't really chase the person. He entered the living room and sat on the chair, "Since you are here, go and get some food."

"Okay." After agreeing, the two refused to leave, and looked at Hu Guiyang with eager eyes.

"Are there so few customers in our Hutong? You two spend your time here every day." Hu Guiyang knew that these two were asking for money again.

Zheng Sanhun said with a bitter face: "Brother Guiyang, I don't know what's going on. This year's spring courtyards are very deserted. Rich foreign guests returned to their hometowns before they could get into winter. The guests in the capital were like discussing, all of whom were hiding at home and refused to go out. Occasionally, they called a fan head and refused to come to visit the spring courtyard."

"This is a good thing, which means that the people in the capital are kind-hearted. You two can change your career as soon as possible. Since you can unlock the lock, you can be a little thief."

"I've been doing it all the time. I don't have much skills to suppress myself. I have many skills and many ways." Jiang Erpi was not ashamed of it at all. "There is one thing. I know me too many tolerances. If anyone loses something, I will come to me first. I thought about saving money and making some things, so that they can turn a blind eye and let me go. The third brother and I walked around the Spring Courtyard to save money."

Jiang Erpi was very polite, and Zheng Sanhun nodded repeatedly.

Hu Guiyang knew that these two people were gambled and could never keep the money in their hands. "Stop talking nonsense. You took a lot of money two days ago, enough to buy some wine and meat, one serving."

"It's all gone." Jiang Erpi spread his hands, "The money is a lot, but if you ask the store to make it fresh, you have to deliver it as soon as possible. You have to give someone some rewards. It will be spent a few times, so we will make up for it."

Hearing the last sentence, Zheng Sanhun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Someone outside shouted, "Is Captain Hu at home?"

"Here." Hu Gui stood up to greet him.

Two young men came, holding a box in their hands and smiling, "One Yuan Keguan and one Fan Keguan ordered us to send it."

"Oh, these two guys, please send them to the hall." Hu Guiyang turned sideways and moved aside.

The two guys sent the box into the house, and after receiving the reward, they thanked him and left.

Hu Guiyang entered the hall and saw Jiang and Zheng staring at the box in a daze.

"cough."

The two brothers turned around, all of them looked surprised, one said, "It's all silver!" The other said, "At least five hundred taels!"

"I guessed it very accurately." Hu Guiyang stood in front of the box, blocking his sight, "The West Factory gave it to my two friends, and they gave it to me."

The two of them became more and more surprised, looked at each other and said in unison: "Why don't I have such a good friend?" Then they pointed at each other and laughed.

The laughter stopped, Jiang Erpi said, "I know that the government's rewards are often silver-free. Many times, a piece of deer skin or even a piece of paper. If you really change it to silver, you will give it at most 80% of it. It is said to be 500 taels, but in fact it is only 400 taels. These two boxes of silver are sufficient. Tsk tsk, Brother Guiyang, you two friends are really good."

"You can tell if you haven't opened the box?"

Jiang Erpi smiled and said, "If you don't have this little vision, can you still walk in the Spring Courtyard?"

"Okay, you can leave now, I'll find someone else to buy wine and meat."

The two men who had no money just now have become abnormal, "Don't, cleaning the house, buying wine and meat is the job of our brothers, and no one can replace them. Brother Guiyang's money is too neat and cannot be broken for a while, so we will put it on for you."

"Prepare it? I still have to owe you money?"

Jiang Erpi slapped Zheng Sanhun's head, "Yes, how do you say it? Brother Guiyang just came home, don't we welcome him?"

"Ah?" Zheng Sanhun rubbed the beaten spot and whispered: "Anyway, you said it."

The two turned around and were about to leave, when someone shouted outside, "Is Captain Hu here?"

This time, two craftsmen came. As soon as they met, they bowed to Hu Guiyang, then moved a large box from outside and sent it into the hall. They didn't say much and said goodbye immediately.

Jiang and Zheng were stunned. They could see from the steps of the craftsmen that this was another box of silver, at least five hundred taels.

Before the two asked questions, Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "I helped some friends ask for a fee from the West Factory. They are very polite and give me some kickbacks."

"Brother Guiyang has great powers!" Jiang and Zheng both eyes straightened.

Hu Guiyang sat on the big box, stepping on the small box, "I'm hungry."

The two turned around and ran away, and returned in less than a quarter of an hour. They ran with sweat. They didn't want to send it to them. They brought the wine and meat back in person, and didn't know how it came from credit.

"The food is still hot, Brother Guiyang eats it slowly, let's go to the kitchen to warm up your wine."

Hu Guiyang was not polite, and let go of his hands and feet to eat and drink. Jiang and Zheng took out a set of skills to please the guests in Chunyuan Hutong, welcomed them carefully, and ran back and forth between the living room and the kitchen to ensure that the wine and food were all hot. The other person was by the table and poured wine and handed over the dishes. No matter what Hu Guiyang said, he would laugh a little even if he sneeze.

It was getting late, and someone called outside for the third time. Jiang Erpi immediately said, "Is someone here to send money? You eat it, I'll go and have a look."

This time, it's not about giving away money, but about giving away people.

Ren Liuer's family came again, and there was no consignment guarding the door outside. The madam went straight into the house and walked past the threshold. She glanced at the three boxes on the ground quickly. Her face was covered with heavy makeup and showed a sincere smile. "Master Hu, why did this make a fuss? Since my daughter came once the night before, she didn't want to eat and she complained about the cruelty of our husband every day and did not arrange for her daughter. She said that Master Hu was a first-class gentleman, who valued love and friendship. If she had to serve her, she would have no regrets in her life. There was no way, so we had to send her again, not asking for anything else, but just trying to relieve her daughter's lovesickness."

Ren Liu'er followed behind her, with a cold face, looking very reluctant.

Hu Guiyang understood where did the money from Jiang and Zheng buy wine and meat before come from, and smiled and said, "It's really so difficult to do business now? I remember that a noble man spent a lot of money and couldn't even hire Miss Liu'er."

"My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She is more important than love, not money." The madam waved behind her and signaled her daughter to come forward to meet her. Ren Liuer pretended not to see her.

The madam coughed awkwardly, "This person is here too. Daughter, go and have a few drinks with Mr. Hu and talk. Let's not be upset here."

The madam, like her own family, drove Jiang, Zheng, and the maid out and closed the door from outside.

Hu Guiyang pointed at the opposite side and said, "Sit."

Ren Liuer came over to sit down, but still didn't say anything, staring at the oil lamp on the table.

"Do you still drink it?"

Let Liuer shake her head.

Hu Guiyang was eating and drinking on his own, and after he was full, he patted his belly, "Is your family so short of money now?"

Ren Liuer finally spoke, "Even if she was sitting on the mountain of gold, the old beggar said she was short of money."

"But I really don't have many here. Look, just these few boxes and a little bit of silver will be only a few more than a thousand taels."

"The old beggar said that there are very few customers this winter, and it is the end of the New Year soon. There are too many places to handle, and I have to spend money everywhere, so I don't pick and choose, and earn a little bit."

Ren Liuer said it bluntly, Hu Guiyang was not angry, but instead smiled and said, "What about the last time? I didn't have these three boxes the night before."

"You really don't have gold, silver and treasures?"

"No, what did the people outside say?"

"You said you dug up a large number of treasures left by the thieves in Yunyang Prefecture. After entering the mountain for a few months, you found ninety-nine places to bury them, and then quietly took them out and enjoy them after the tide was calm."

"Why is it ninety-nine?"

"How could I know? Anyway, everyone said that, the old beggar believed it and insisted on letting me find out the details."

"So many spring courtyards, why are your family here?"

"The old beggar started to do something early. He claimed to the public that you have been to my house, so he had already... In short, she had many tricks and tried to stop other families."

Hu Guiyang sighed softly.

Ren Liuer was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean? I think there are too few girls coming to the door, or I think I am ugly - it's impossible, you think there are too few girls."

Ren Liuer is very confident in her beauty, and knows how fickle the man is. He adds contemptuously, "You are all the same. The old beggar just bought two girls a few months ago. Do you want to comb it together? Based on the rumors outside, you can play with a few alleys, and no one will ask you for money."

"Haha. But you don't believe the rumors?"

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I am just a thing from the Ren family. I hold it and protect it when I use it. Who will pay attention to me after using it?"

"Can't you praise your private money?"

"What's the use? I can't take the flowers away, and when I die, I will still fall into the hands of the old beggar."

"Pitiful."

Ren Liuer sneer said, "There are more than four cities in the capital, one of which is that there are many people like us. Everyone is like this. What's the pity for me? On the contrary, I live better than most women in this world. That's it - it's not interesting, eating is boring, home is boring, and guests are boring."

"Are you still thinking about Yang San'er?"

"What do you think? But he is also a slutty lover. If you want to miss him, a few years ago, there was a young master from Shanxi. He spoke very interestingly and was also interesting, and he often made me laugh. He came to my house every spring, staying for about a month, and came twice."

“What about the third year?”

"I haven't come."

"Why?"

"Ha, there are so many reasons: people die, get sick, and they fall in love with newcomers again... If there are ten thousand lies in the world, nine thousand lies are all in the spring courtyard. People spend money, come when they want to come, and don't come if they don't want to come. Why?"

Hu Guiyang smiled and took the wine glass and turned it around twice. "I have an interesting job. If you are willing to join the group, you can share it with you later and add a few more fun."

Ren Liuer looked surprised, "I can only get a little bit of money if I share it."

"I will redeem you first, and then I will give you money."

"So much?" Ren Liuer knew how high her value was.

Hu Guiyang nodded, "Are you willing?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

"What am I not doing with you, why are you lying to you?"

Ren Liuer nodded slowly, "There is such a good thing, of course I am willing to join the group, anyway, I am idle."

Hu Guiyang leaned forward a little, "I do have treasures in the mountains, not gold and silver, but they are priceless, so you need to find a suitable buyer for me."
