Based mostly on her understanding of this period, a lone boy and woman consuming collectively on the identical desk. Other than coincidences, solely those that had met earlier than being employed would come out collectively and comply with the procedures.

Simply the scale of the sturdy man and the weak little loli was not appropriate for one another. Ning Yan by no means thought that Zhang Tiehzhu was truly such an individual.

Ning Yan randomly walked. With that, she instantly walked to the county’s’ crimson gentle district ‘, and the three flooring that had crimson lanterns hanging from them had been extraordinarily quiet. Every now and then, there could be women sporting recent garments standing by the home windows trying down.

Seeing the younger man promoting plastic flowers, hair strings and rouge powder, Ning Yan additionally went over. The new climate younger man’s perspective was even higher, he picked out gadgets on the pole, purchased two picket hairpins, a packet of bitter dates powder, and wrapped them up. Ning Yan straightforwardly paid the cash, not desirous to be just like the others who would commute and deduct all the cash, inflicting her face to show crimson from the noise.

Whereas carrying the gadgets she purchased earlier, Ning Yan raised her head and seemed in direction of the home. As she neared the home, she was instantly surrounded by the perfume and stood near the window. She was wearing a messy method and had a fan in her fingers, a pure magnificence.

What was the distinction between this period’s brothels and the nightlife of the later era? Ning Yan was very curious.

After standing downstairs for a very long time, Ning Yan noticed one other acquainted particular person. It was Mrs. Qian’s sturdy little brother, Tang Hu. Have you ever all agreed to return to the county metropolis at the moment?

Strolling to Qian Hu’s again, and seeing that Tang Hu’s bronze face was lined with a layer of white powder, Ning Yan’s eyes virtually jumped out.

Qian Hu patted Qian Hu’s shoulders, inflicting him to shiver. He seemed over stiffly, and sighed a breath of aid when he noticed Ning Yan. It is you! “

“Cease, do not name me Large Sis. I am not that a lot older than you, simply name me by my title.” Elder sister? What a canine! All the elder sisters sooner or later would positively be over fifty years previous.

Listening to this, Ning Yan would really feel that she was previous, shivering uncontrollably!

“Ning Yan?” When the 2 phrases got here out, it was Qian Hu’s flip to shiver. He instantly used a reputation to name a girl, which was a bit unusual.

Might or not it’s that Ning Yan had emotions for him? Taking a look at her sturdy arms and physique, Qian Hu felt that it was extra doable. Though there have been many younger women who didn’t like ladies to seem like this, these married ladies had been the precise reverse. Even just a few widows within the village wouldn’t be capable of transfer once they noticed him.

Simply as he was pondering, he abruptly heard Ning Yan asking: “What are you doing right here, hiding your head and displaying your tail? You are not going to do one thing unlawful or counterattack, are you? “

“How is that this doable?” Qian Hu’s voice abruptly grew louder.

The sweat on his brow dripped down. What did it imply to be responsible of against the law, what did it imply to confess it when you do not wish to struggle? Ning Yan sighed.

As he pulled Qian Hu to the close by elm forest, Qian Hu tried to push Ning Yan away along with his arms, however…

The energy that he was initially very happy with appeared to have disappeared at this second. He couldn’t push it away, however had as a substitute been squeezed tightly.

When Ning Yan stopped, Qian Hu reached out and hugged herself. When she checked out Ning Yan, her eyes had been stuffed with warning: “What are you doing?”

“…” Ning Yan didn’t perceive, however the younger lad was fascinated about one thing unhealthy, and he stated, “Converse, what had been you doing simply now?”

“What do you imply what do you imply? I used to be simply strolling round right here and it acquired in your approach.”

“Heh …” Ning Yan was dumbstruck earlier than she would consider Qian Hu’s phrases: “You are not going to say it, are you? Look forward to me to ship you to the yamen earlier than you communicate.”

“What nonsense are you speaking about?” Qian Hu jumped again a step.

“You are still pretending? You are still hiding your head and displaying your tail. If it wasn’t for some unlawful act, you would not be so responsible.”

“You may’t ship me to the yamen. My sister’s life remains to be happening and I nonetheless haven’t any solution to get some cash. My sister will not be capable of drink Bei Feng’s wine.”

“Your sister cannot afford your good intentions.”

“You …” Qian Hu’s face turned deathly pale, identical to the zombies within the motion pictures. The sweat on his brow dripped as if he did not want any cash, unable to search out any phrases to say.

“Converse, why are you guarding this place? Who’re you contacting? What’s your goal?”

“…” Qian Hu was shocked, he didn’t know what to say, however the girl in entrance of him may guess what was happening, and squatted down dejectedly on the foot of the tree: “Partnerships with some folks, we will earn some huge cash with one another.”

“…” On this period, Salt Iron was all the time managed by the Shangguan Household and was prohibited from doing so for a very long time, however each time the imperial authorities was found, they’d act decisively and by no means let go. Each time they investigated, blood would move like a river, and so long as they had been caught, they’d not even consider retaining their lives.

“How lengthy have you ever been working?”

“At present is the primary day.”

“Come on, cease it. If you happen to fall inside, your loved ones will not have any hope.”

“It does not exist, it is unimaginable. Do you assume anybody can promote salt? I’ve already made the life and demise waiver. “

“…” After listening to what Qian Hu stated, Ning Yan’s face was stuffed with disbelief: “You offered your self identical to that?”

“…” Qian Hu didn’t communicate, he leaned in opposition to the tree as if he was a sage and didn’t have any wishes or requests. Perhaps he felt that Ning Yan would hand him over to the officers, and there was a further indifference on his face, as if he had seen by life and demise.

Ning Yan kicked Qian Hu away, seeing Qian Hu clutching his coronary heart, he puckered his eyebrows and rolled his eyes: What ought to I do, is not it simply promoting salt? Ultimately, salt will turn out to be nugatory and there shall be no revenue in promoting it. “

“…”

This time, it was Qian Hu’s flip to take a look at Ning Yan the way in which one would take a look at an fool. After 1000’s of years, the worth of salt had all the time been excessive. Was he dreaming?

“What sort of gaze do you may have? Bear in mind to right your self if you return. Along with your sneaky look, even a idiot would know that you just’re doing one thing dangerous.” He would relatively end and wave his fingers as he left the elm forest. Ning Yan knew what she needed to do along with her salt after pondering for some time, she simply needed to make the Mrs. Qian have cash to spend.

Nevertheless, this younger man was too younger to be fooled, and he even made a life and demise settlement. He knew that the so-called life and demise settlement was a life and demise settlement for somebody who could be beheaded after the matter was uncovered. Ning Yan didn’t have a lot feeling in direction of promoting salt. Maybe as a result of she was used to consuming salt, she was not that disgusted.

This dynasty’s salt was brewed from seawater, and the salt mines ate the useless. Nobody knew the way to purify the toxic salt, and because the salt brewing technique was too crude, it precipitated the salt to stay excessive within the sky.

Ning Yan knew her personal enterprise. Salt represented an enormous revenue, and he or she couldn’t afford to eat it, to not point out the truth that creating new salt would hurt a small portion of individuals’s pursuits, so she may solely take it slowly.

He went again to the store from the elm forest, and stood in entrance of the door to have a look, however didn’t see Zhang Tiehzhu, so he entered. There have been already fairly just a few folks on the barbecue store, and some beggars had been squatting reverse to them.

Ah Wang sorted out the leftover meat skewers and positioned them instantly into the beggar bowl.

Ning Yan didn’t have a lot of an opinion on the Ah Wang’s strategies, however trying on the beggar who had a full beard and tail, he felt a bit uncomfortable. Leaving him alone with the thought of working arduous to earn cash to reside, squatting on the nook and begging for meals, was not one thing a person ought to do.

After cleansing up, he fed the pig to the canine. Even when he fed the hen to the New 12 months, he would nonetheless be capable of harvest a pot of meat. Nevertheless, feeding it to those beggars …

It is nice, it is nice. Simply deal with it as doing good deeds, after it for some time, Ning Yan retracted her gaze. In the direction of these individuals who had given up their lives, it will be a waste to even take a look at them.

After strolling into the store, he was immediately surrounded by a sizzling and stuffy feeling. No surprise much more folks favored to eat outdoors the short-term shelter that was constructed, Tang Yi wiping her perspiration with a towel, Ning Yan requested: “Are you drained?”

“Not drained, not drained in any respect.” As Tang Yi spoke, she took a sip of water from the enamel bowl. She was busy with the kitchen, so it was unimaginable for him to not replenish her water in time.

“Sure.”

Ning Yan sat within the store for some time, then headed again house.

Since he didn’t have to drive the ox-cart, it will be higher for him to return early. If he went again earlier, he would be capable of relaxation for some time.
