16. Dong Xiaowan
"If you feel sorry for it, then stay at the embroidery shop and help!"
Li Yu smiled at Dong Bai: "How about it, can you agree?"
He had three thousand taels of silver, and he didn't feel heartbroken at all for spending 100 taels to solve the troubles of the Dong family.
"good!"
Dong Bai nodded slightly: "If necessary, just give me instructions!"
At this moment, she had no choice. Although Li Yu helped to solve the debt of 800 taels, Dong Bai didn't know how to raise the wages owed by the workers in the embroidery farm and the expenses for dismissing the workers.
"kindness!"
Li Yu nodded with a smile: "I remember Dong Zhuo's granddaughter is also called Dong Bai. She has a bad fate. I'll change your name and change it to Xiaowan. Do you think it's okay?"
His appearance changed Dong Bai's fate, but he did not expect Dong Xiaowan's name to die from then on.
"Huh!"
Dong Bai said in surprise: "How do you know my name?"
Her family affairs can be learned through others, but there are very few people who know Dong Bai's name. She couldn't figure out how Li Yu was so clear.
"I'll talk about this later!"
Li Yu remembered something and said, "Now, do the important business first, please help me write a recruitment for the nursing home!"
It requires both strong and hardworking, loyal and obeying orders. The conditions are very harsh and the treatment is generous. You can receive five taels of silver every month.
When he heard Li Yu’s request, Dong Xiaowan was shocked, even the matchmaker was shocked.
This is not about recruiting a guard or recruiting an army.
What they didn't know was that Li Yuzhao protected the hospital, just to build a private armed force that belonged to him. In such a chaotic world, if they don't have enough strength, no matter how much money they have, they will be a fat sheep at the slaughter of others.
Soon, Dong Xiaowan wrote several notices and posted them to a conspicuous place on the street.
The recruitment matter is not urgent. The most important thing is to sell the things I brought, so Li Yu arranged the interview time until three days later.
With Dong Xiaowan's help, Li Yu undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble. When he gave her 100 taels of silver, he gave her a mirror, a box of soap, a bottle of shampoo, a bag of laundry detergent and two lighters. At the same time, he also gave her some other things to the matchmaker.
Dong Xiaowan was really happy to get one hundred taels of silver, but she was both fresh and curious and worried when she saw the things Li Yu gave her.
If Li Yu had no intention to help her like this, no one would believe her if she said it; but if she refused, Dong Xiaowan really didn't know how to solve the current difficulties.
Dong Xiaowan was confused, so she heard Li Yu say casually: "There is another thing, do you know where there are high-end brothels in Suzhou?"
When he suddenly heard what he said, the matchmaker looked at him in confusion, not understanding why Li Yu suddenly said such words in front of her and Dong Xiaowan.
Dong Xiaowan was stunned, her eyes were red and her face turned blue, thinking that she was deliberately flirting with her.
"Don't get me wrong!"
When Li Yu saw something was wrong, he quickly explained: "I think these things are related to women, and there are many rich people in high-end brothels, so he wanted to go there to sell things."
After a moment of pause, he continued, "You think, if I were really a lustful person, how could I go to the brothel without being moved by the two naturally beautiful beauties in front of me?"
After saying that, Li Yu felt something was wrong and thought about it carefully: I said I was not moved by them. Does that mean they were not attractive or am I sick?
Seeing the matchmaker and Dong Xiaowan's complex expressions, Li Yu knew that he had passed the test, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He wanted to find a high-end brothel, not only to sell things, but also to take the opportunity to meet Chen Yuanyuan.
There is no right excuse, where is the best place for Li Yu to go to?
"snort!"
Dong Xiaowan snorted: "I don't know!"
She also felt that Li Yu was not a lustful person, otherwise his eyes would not be so pure when he looked at him and the matchmaker.
Dong Xiaowan is still very confident about her appearance.
"Then ask someone else!"
Li Yu smiled awkwardly: "This is how you do it, matchmaker, please disguise yourself as a man and go with me so as not to make any mistakes!"
He went with the matchmaker, both to reassure them and to consider his own safety.
Besides, Li Yu doesn't have that kind of experience. The last time he accidentally ran into the red light district, he fled in panic. If he went to the brothel, it would be hard to guarantee that he would not make a joke.
"oh!"
The matchmaker nodded gently: "Then I'll go and prepare now?"
She has been in the opera troupe for several years, and her disguise and makeup are a good move.
"Yeah, the faster the better!"
Li Yu didn't want to deal with the discount as he was last time, so he wanted to sell everything early.
Even if you can't make more money, it's better to have more time to do something else.
When the matchmaker put on makeup, she immediately transformed into a handsome and handsome young man.
Li Yu stared at it, but didn't see any flaws, so he went to the brothel with the matchmaker to pick some, leaving Ah Hu waiting for the monkey in the embroidery shop.
He knew that the monkey was smart and Ah Hu was stupid, so that the younger monkey would follow the guy and let Ah Hu stay.
The monkey grew up in the opera troupe and was eccentric. It was difficult to pay attention to following others. This is also the reason why the matchmaker rested on him.
Dong Xiaowan used the 100 taels of silver given by Li Yu to disperse all the people in the embroidery shop. Seeing Li Yu and the matchmaker gradually walked away, she had not come back to her senses for a long time.
After a long time, she asked Ah Hu who was sitting on the doorstep in a daze: "Little brother, do you know who that young man is?"
Ahu shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know, the matchmaker sister won't let us say it!"
He and Monkey have always listened to matchmakers the most, and they really don’t know the origin of Li Yu.
The matchmaker knew that Li Yu's origin was unusual and was afraid that someone would come to cause trouble. She specifically told Ah Hu and Monkey that they could not tell Li Yu to outsiders many times.
“What can’t be said?”
Dong Xiaowan looked at the honest Ah Hu in front of her and said, "I am not an outsider, otherwise I wouldn't let you live here!"
Seeing that Ah Hu was a little silly and was young, she wanted to draw the details of Li and the others from him.
Seeing that everyone was about to live in the embroidery shop together, how could Dong Xiaowan feel at ease if she didn’t understand the other party’s background?
Ah Hu thought for a while and hesitated: "No, this embroidery shop was not bought by Mr. Li just now?"
He was a little dull, but he was not stupid. He remembered what happened just now very clearly.
"What's wrong with this?"
Dong Xiaowan immediately asked back: "Did Mr. Li say he admire me so much? If it weren't for this, how could I sell such a large embroidery shop to him at such a cheap price?"
In order to learn the truth, she had to make an exception to fool Ah Hu.
Ah Hu couldn't help but nodded: "It seems that, I remember that about ten days ago, the matchmaker suddenly brought Mr. Li to the opera troupe, and since then he has been with us."
As he said that, he smiled: "I almost starved to death before, but I survived thanks to the matchmaker's sister's intake; now Mr. Li takes us with him, so it's even better."
Since leaving the opera troupe, they have eaten, dressed, and lived well. They don’t have to work hard every day. They just run errands and sell things.
