Unidentified persons of all ages and teachings living in Yuhua Lane received two notifications one morning in early summer.
The first is a time-limited eviction notice.
The new landlord does not ask for rent, but only requires everyone to move out of Yuhua Lane within three days.
When the time comes, those who have not moved out, regardless of age, will be violently expelled.
There are not many other things in the palace, except that there are many guards and thugs.
The second is the recruitment notice.
If someone is willing to work hard, can write and count, and has a skill, sign up at the gate of Yuhua Lane three days later.
Work benefits, including three meals plus additional wages are settled daily.
The daily settlement of processing money for three meals has attracted many people's attention.
Of course, the people who are attracted to Yuhua Lane are not only the people in Yuhua Lane, but also the common people who live in other alleys around Yuhua Lane. .
These people all planned to come to work early in the morning after three days. If they could be selected, they would save a lot of rations for the family just by eating three meals a day.
People who work eat a lot, and the daily ration is a huge consumption.
In the capital, all the hard work does not include three meals.
It's not easy to meet a job that includes three meals. You must know that they work hard to earn wages, just for three meals a day.
The boss is willing to provide three meals a day, which means that they can finally save some of their wages and don't have to use all of them to buy rations.
This morning, the residents of Yuhua Lane spent their time in the noise of moving and not moving.
Some people have lived here for more than ten years, while others have only lived here for more than ten days.
In Beijing, it is not easy to find such a house with a good location and cheap rent.
Although the place of Yuhua Lane is not very good, it is flooded in rainy days, and the sewage is poured back in sunny days. The streets are always full of sewage, feces and urine all over the floor, which stinks.
Except for the time when the southerners cheated the Li family, Yuhua Lane was rarely clean for ten days and a half months.
That was also a day when everyone lived comfortably.
Nowadays, many people are reluctant to be forced to move this place, and scolding the landlord is not a thing.
Only three days are given to relocate, what is three days enough for? Where can I move
What else do you say, once the three days are up, they will be violently evicted.
"I don't believe that this new landlord can be more powerful than Concubine De's natal family. Even the Li family can't do anything to us. The new landlord can really drive us away? I'll just live here and not move, let's see what they can do to us."
"Why do you say that the new landlord wants to drive us all away? In the whole capital, who else is willing to rent here except us?"
"It's not that they want to drive us away, and then rent the house to those merchants to do business."
"Which merchant is willing to come here to open a shop? Will anyone come to buy things in this place?"
"Ha ha… "
Everyone laughed, it seemed that everyone had reached an agreement that they would not move out of this place.
However, the next day, someone moved out of Yuhua Lane with their luggage.
On the third day, more people moved away with their families.
After the three-day deadline passed, only a few households remained unmoved.
It was a sunny day, and when the sun came out, there were dozens of well-dressed men at the entrance of Yuhua Lane, all led by Song Zheng.
Bai Zhong stood in front with a serious face.
He asked the guy next to him, "Who else hasn't moved?"
"Report to father-in-law, only these six households have not moved."
A list was handed over to Bai Zhong.
Bai Zhong glanced at the list, and directly ordered Song Zheng, "Get out all of them. If there are resisters, hit them hard."
He suddenly raised his voice, and said to the onlookers: "From now on, if you don't follow the rules of Yuhua Lane in Yuhua Lane, you will end up like this."
The audience was silent, and there were hundreds of onlookers, but no one made a sound.
Song Zheng ordered more than a dozen or twenty people, and rushed like a wolf into the six families that hadn't been relocated.
The sound of scolding, cursing, crying, crying, and beating with sticks came one after another.
Immediately afterwards, pieces of tattered belongings were thrown from the door and the window.
Six families, with a dozen or so people, were escorted out of the house by the wolf-like guards.
Bai Zhong said coldly, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to leave Yuhua Lane quickly with your belongings. Don't blame the past. Otherwise, even people and their belongings will stay in Yuhua Lane as a base. If anyone doesn't believe it, then Give it a try and see if I dare to bury your local foundation."
As soon as the words fell, the dozen or so people hurriedly picked up their belongings and left Yuhua Lane in a scrambling manner.
Immediately afterwards, a master craftsman who used to specialize in palaces brought more than a dozen craftsmen to Yuhua Lane and began preparations for the demolition.
These craftsmen were all ordered by Gu Jiu to deceive the Shaofu's family order and come from the Shaofu's general supervisor.
Free food and housing, plus a high salary.
When the general prisoner heard about the treatment, many people were willing to come and work.
Gu Jiu never refuses anyone who comes.
These craftsmen represent the top architectural level of this era.
They may be illiterate and unable to speak a set of theories. But their experience is a thick architectural encyclopedia.
As long as it is engaged in construction, no matter whether it is building houses or building bridges and roads, it will not be difficult for them.
Today these dozens of craftsmen are leading the charge. Until tomorrow, hundreds of craftsmen from Jiang Zuojian will come to Yuhua Lane to completely remodel Yuhua Lane.
Two tables were set up at the entrance of the alley, and the boys moved to a table in front of the table and began to recruit workers.
The crowd watching the excitement rushed towards the two tables in an instant.
They have to work, they have to eat.
As for those who were violently expelled from Yuhua Lane, no one cared, let alone cared.
Where others go or stay is not as important as one's own job.
There was even a person who was violently expelled with his front foot, and rushed to the team with his back foot to answer his job.
He also wants to eat well.
The clerk suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "I'm hiring ten women who cook and carry water. Is there anyone available?"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of women rushed forward in an instant.
They even tore up because of who came first.
You pull my clothes, I grab your hair, it's a mess.
Song Zheng had no choice but to bring guards and sticks, and beat them one by one, so that the team could return to an orderly appearance.
This morning, Yuhua Lane was full of chickens and dogs, some people were happy and some were worried.
Bai Zhong left Song Zheng to supervise the construction site, and then hurried back to the palace to report.
…
In the palace, Song Zheng bowed and stood in front of Gu Jiu, reporting the morning's events in detail.
After listening, Gu Jiu nodded, "You did a good job. Be soft when you should be soft, and take tough measures when you should be tough."
After a pause, she said emphatically, "As I said before, the focus of this project in the early stage is the wharf, the inner city river, and model houses. Can the house in Yuhua Lane be sold? Can it be sold at a high price? , It depends on the ability of your supervisor.
If you continue to repair it step by step, maybe when we run out of money on hand, the house will not be sold yet. What to do then? At that time, you can only drink the northwest wind, and you, the supervisor, have done it well. "
Bai Zhong suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "I will follow Madam's order. It's just that after repairing the model house, can I really sell the house?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Are you still making the model that I asked you to prepare?"
"A craftsman has been arranged, and they are working according to the drawings given by the madam."
"Do you know the reason why I asked to make a model? It is to sell it out, so that businessmen from all over the world can intuitively feel what the reconstructed Yuhua Lane looks like and what is around it. Do you understand?"
"Little one understands."
Gu Jiu handed over dozens of drawings to Bai Zhong, "This is a floor plan made by me. The dimensions may not be accurate. You can discuss it with a few master craftsmen. But the house after repair must be in the shape I asked for."
Bai Zhong accepted the floor plan and bowed to accept the order.
As a supervisor, he has many things to do. After taking the floor plan, he hurried back to the construction site to discuss it with the master craftsman.
Gu Jiu was not idle either.
Huang Zhuo and Rong Xin had already taken people to Jiangnan, and Gu Jiu had to send someone to deliver the second batch of silver to them in time.
She seems to have a lot of money on hand, but she still needs to plan carefully. Every tael of silver can't wait to be broken into two halves.
The servant girl Xiaocui came in from outside, "Madam, the Second Young Master and the Second Madam are back."
"Oh, are you back at last?"
At the beginning, Ouyang Fu and the second son went out to live in another courtyard. At first they said they would go there for a month.
Later, it was estimated that I was too happy to miss Shu, so I stayed for more than a month.
It was still spring when I went out, but now I have changed into light summer clothes.
Xiao Cui nodded, "This meeting is talking in Chunhe Hall. Madam, do you want to go over?"
Gu Jiu put down what she was doing and said with a smile, "Of course I have to go over and say hello."
She brought people to Chunhe Hall, and when she was still outside the door, she heard laughter and laughter inside.
"Meet mother and concubine. What's so happy about it? Second brother and sister, you are back."
Gu Jiu walked in with a smile.
Concubine Shen said cheerfully, "Eldest madam doesn't know yet. Second madam's birthday this month has been postponed, and she hasn't come yet. Second madam doesn't dare to be careless, so she hurried back home."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed, "Really? Congratulations to the second sibling."
Ouyang Fu waved her hand, "It's not certain yet, maybe it's just another joy."
Concubine Shen was even more anxious than Ouyang Fu, "Don't talk nonsense. You must have it this time."
Pei said calmly: "The days are too short now. In a few days, the imperial physician will be invited to the mansion to take the pulse of the second daughter-in-law. We will know if there is any."
Ouyang Fu bowed and said yes.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, and went forward to hold Ouyang Fu's wrist, in fact she was secretly checking her pulse.
"Second brother and sister, you must relax. You should eat and drink. Don't wrong yourself. Be careful in your activities in the first three months."
"The eldest lady has no children, but she knows a lot." After Shen Fangfei finished speaking, she started to giggle.
Mrs. Pei also stared at Gu Jiu's abdomen, disliked Gu Jiu and hadn't moved yet.
Gu Jiu let go of Ouyang Fu's wrist, her pulse was very shallow, vaguely a happy pulse.
Ouyang Fu smiled apologetically at Gu Jiu. Concubine Shen sometimes spoke really badly, so she apologized to Concubine Shen to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu looked at Concubine Shen with a half-smile, "I'm not an ignorant person, these are all the knowledge recorded in books, and I just said it casually according to the content in the books. How about concubine Shen? Listen, take it seriously or not."
Concubine Luo lowered her head and smiled sullenly.
Concubine Shen was annoyed, Gu Jiu actually laughed at her for being ignorant.
Mrs. Pei glanced at Concubine Shen sideways, and then said calmly: "If the second daughter-in-law is really pregnant, it's a good thing. Boss daughter-in-law, you should also hurry up and stop messing around all day long."
Gu Jiu bowed and said yes, "My daughter-in-law also wants to hurry up, but since the young master is not in the mansion, my daughter-in-law is also unwilling."
When Concubine Shen heard it, she smiled and said: "Young Master doesn't seem to be in a hurry, he doesn't go back to the mansion for a whole month, is the barracks so busy? Could it be that Young Master has a good friend outside?"
After she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth, "Don't be offended, Mrs. I just said it casually, so don't take it seriously."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course I won't take it seriously, I'm afraid that you will be unhappy if you take it seriously."
Concubine Shen smiled embarrassingly.
Pei was annoyed, "Concubine Shen, you should be more careful when talking in front of juniors."
"My concubine's lesson is that it's all because of my bad mouth, I can't even speak."
Pei snorted, "Since I know I can't speak, I will speak less in the future."
There was so much trouble that they broke up.
Pei left Gu Jiu alone.
Gu Jiu sat still, knowing exactly what Pei Shi wanted to say.
Pei's face collapsed, she stared at Gu Jiu, and said, "Boss hasn't returned home for a long time, this is indeed a problem. But as a wife, you can't win over your husband's heart, it's your wife's fault.
I don't look at you in the slightest hurry these days. Don't forget that you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the royal family and the daughter-in-law of King Ning's family. As a clan wife, it is your responsibility to carry on the family line.
You have been in the door for three years, nearly two years, and your stomach has not moved, is it plausible
If the boss doesn't return home, don't you know how to send him a letter asking him to return home? According to this princess, the boss does not return to the mansion for a whole month, so he has nothing to do with you as a wife. "
"Mother concubine taught me that."
Gu Jiu's attitude was very respectful. No matter what Pei Shi said, it will be right, Gu Jiu is determined not to conflict with her.
As for what Pei said, just listen to it. After listening to it, how to live or how to live.
Mrs. Pei accused her of not fulfilling her responsibilities as a wife, and that it was her responsibility for Liu Zhao not to return home, and she didn't care.
Pei's face was stern, "After you go down, reflect on yourself. Don't wait until the second wife's children are all born, and your stomach hasn't moved yet. When the time comes when the palace asks, this princess will not cover it up for you."
"The daughter-in-law always remembers the teachings of the concubine mother."
Gu Jiu bowed and resigned, and went back to the east courtyard to continue working on her big money-making plan.
What about giving birth to a child, what about winning over her husband's heart, what about Liu Zhao returning to the mansion, are all floating clouds. Nothing beats making money.
Besides, there is a big question mark whether Liu Zhao is in the capital now.
Although no one has disclosed any information to her, Gu Jiu is not an idiot.
She vaguely guessed that Liu Zhao should have left the capital a long time ago.
…
The Beirong capital thousands of miles away.
Late at night, the Sifang Pavilion was still lit with lights.
Liu Zhao looked indifferently at the exotic beauty lying on the couch, wearing only a tulle all over her body, her curves looming under the light.
The beauty waved at Liu Zhao, "A moment in spring night is worth a thousand gold, why are you standing still?"
Liu Zhao was indifferent, and sat down on a chair beside him, "The princess is not in the palace, how could she appear in my son's bedroom?"
This beautiful woman is the well-known Princess Linglong of Beirong. She is in her twentieth year and has a very exotic style. She is known as a pearl of Beirong's royal family.
Princess Linglong's eyes were captivating, "The spring night is short, do you really want to sit there and refuse to come over?"
Liu Zhao looked at her coldly and without any emotion, "It's late at night, please go back, princess."
Princess Linglong leaned forward slightly, revealing her proud figure under the tulle.
"Young master, don't worry, I only want to spend the spring evening with you, and have absolutely no other intentions."
Liu Zhao smiled sarcastically, "No matter who instigated the princess to come here to use the beauty trick, I just want to say that it was a waste of time. If the princess doesn't want to lose face, she should leave here as soon as possible."
Princess Linglong was furious, "Liu Zhao, don't forget that this is Beirong, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine. My palace is as beautiful as a flower, and I am willing to condescend to spend the spring evening with you. You don't know what is good or bad."
Liu Zhao's face turned cold, "Princess Beirong, a country of barbarians, dares to boast in front of this young master and call herself a condescending noble. Who gave you the courage?"
"Liu Zhao, you are so brave!" Princess Linglong stood up from the couch, except for a layer of tulle, there was no obstruction.
Liu Zhao snorted coldly, "With the princess's beauty, she dares to use beauty tricks on me. I really have no self-knowledge. Go back and tell the master behind you that if you want to use beauty tricks, I am more rare than you, Princess Linglong." Thirteen princes."
Princess Linglong turned pale with shock and couldn't believe it, "You, you broke your sleeve?"
Liu Zhao raised his brows, his eyes were full of evil spirits, "I have always wanted to get close to the thirteenth prince. Princess Linglong might as well take what I said back. Come and send the princess back to the palace."

In the bloody storm, she walked hand in hand with him, but she never expected that she would die in the hands of the person she loved the most in the end.
If you are ruthless, I will rest.
Reborn as a human being, she turned into a little charlatan, cheated and abducted, and flirted with all the beautiful men in the world by the way.
As for the aloof enemies, tremble, wash your neck and wait slowly.
The emperor's husband from the previous life pursued him closely, "I would like to give up this country, but I just ask you to look back at me."
The little marquis possessed by a decrepit spirit stalked him, "I am happy with him, and I am willing to use Jiangshan as my employment."
There is also the lingering Xuanmen suzerain, "If you give it a good training, it must be a beauty in bed."
