The Song family moved to the east corner of the capital, which is relatively close to the pier, and the surrounding areas are all poor families.

Du and Lord Song both discussed it. After working hard for nine months, the hatred of King Mu was eliminated at the end of the year, and the family left the capital and returned to Yangzhou. There was also the Song family's ancestral home. They were always older and could live in the repairs. The family saved money and did not waste too much money. After returning, Lord Song opened a private school to teach, and he could still live a very good life.

If there is hope, a temporary downfall is nothing.

"Don't be afraid of Ningning. No one knows about the capital after he goes back. Your father and I will find you a good family." Du said comforting his daughter.

Shu Ning listened silently and suddenly accepted the family.

When she first came to this world, she actually didn't like the Song family very much. It was their fault that they broke off the engagement back then. They didn't know how to repent when they were wrong. They became turtles with their heads, thinking that King Mu would forget his former grudges, and then knelt down and beg for mercy until he died. King Mu was cruel, but the Song family also had many shortcomings. When Du wanted Shuning to be a concubine for King Mu, Shuning had already pasted the words "selling women to seek honor" on the couple's heads.

But after observing in the past two days, Shu Ning found that this family was just an ordinary commoner, not a perfect person who was often promoted in film and television dramas, but it was by no means the ultimate negative character with shortcomings. They lived seriously in this world and hoped that there would be the easiest way to solve the problem. When they could not solve it, they did not complain and give advice to their daughter, but chose the whole family to bear it together.

After settling down, it's time to dismiss the servants.

There were six servants in the Song family. When the Song family collapsed, four people begged for them. Only Uncle Li, who was the old coachman and the gatekeeper, and Jin'er, the orphan maid beside Shuning, begged to stay. They would rather not leave the wages than leave because they had nowhere to go after leaving the Song family.

Uncle Li begged: "I can go up the mountain to chop firewood and mow grass, and send the masters to the docks every morning and evening, and help clean the yard."

Jin'er cried, "I can learn to cook. I will wash my clothes at home and I won't eat in vain!"

The Song family left behind Uncle Li and Jin'er.

However, Du completely gave Jin'er to his daughter. It was already very painful for her to serve King Mu. Du was reluctant to let her daughter do work, cook, buy vegetables, and wash clothes anymore. Jin'er just took care of her daughter wholeheartedly. Although Du had been an official wife for so many years, she was actually from a farmer. When she was a child, she helped her family work every day. She was willing to enjoy the wealth of her family. She had to endure hardships, and Du could survive.

The three of Mr. Song and his son were not as strong as Du. Of course, it was because the dock was too hard to carry. After only three days, blisters were worn out from the shoulders, backs, and soles of the three men.

Du was crying while applying medicine to the three of them.

Shu Ning didn't dare to see the wounds of the three people. She was afraid that she would cry, but when she looked at the haggard figures of the three men leaving every day, she looked tired when she came back, which was very uncomfortable. At the same time, Shu Ning also understood more why King Mu hated the Song family, which was just a break-in, because King Mu had lived so hard, even more bitterly. When he was young, he regarded the Song family as a life-saving straw, but the Song family was not only helpless, but also put in trouble, adding a layer of humiliation to his miserable situation.

King Mu punished the Song family in this way. The Song family was actually very unjust and the crime was not so great. But this was an era when the imperial power was greater than heaven. In order to survive, the Song family could only endure it and could only pay off the debt honestly.

Shu Ning did not agree with King Mu's revenge, but she did not hate King Mu. She just came to complete the task. After the task, the world automatically stopped dissipating and became a dream she had.

After two days of rest, everything returned to normal. Shu Ning wanted to go out for a walk.

She wants to do some business and make money and achieve self-reliance.

If Lord Song was still a sixth-rank Beijing official, her business plan would definitely be strongly opposed by the couple. Now the situation has turned sharply and the Song family has become an ordinary family for the people, which has provided convenience for Shuning.

"Call Uncle Li to accompany you. It's a mess here, be careful." Du must stay at home to guard the house and arrange for Uncle Li to protect his daughter. Uncle Li is in his fifties. No one will misunderstand anything when he walks beside his daughter.

Shu Ning took Uncle Li with him and went out with his purse in his arms.

The public security in this area is indeed not as good as the wealthy place in the capital, but most men go to the dock to make money. Occasionally, they meet one or two slutty men, who are also thin and small, not as strong as Uncle Li. They only dare to whistle at Shuning, and they are in broad daylight and dare not do anything.

After leaving the house rented by the Song family, walking east for about a quarter of an hour, it is the East Gate of the Capital.

There are many street stalls here, including those selling cheap food such as buns and steamed buns, and some selling daily necessities such as combs and rouge. There are several women standing in front of each stall to pick and choose, and the business seems to be quite good. In addition to the poor people who go out to work in the morning and evening, there are also business travelers. Nearby people come to the capital to watch the fun. Although the passenger flow is not as good as the main city gates in the north and south, it is beyond Shuning's expectations.

Shuning had the only skill of making money in ancient times. There were stalls for buns, and the cost of Sandaibao was relatively high. After visiting all the snack stalls, Shuning found that she could set up a morning and evening stalls, selling scallion pancakes and wontons, which were good and cheap. Those who just wanted to eat cakes could take the cake and leave. Those who wanted to eat wontons sat down. They packed wontons in advance at home and cooked them in the pot. After eating the cakes, they would feel comfortable.

However, the street stalls in the city were full, and there was no need to sell the shops.

Shu Ning wanted to go out of the city to see, but she had no way to guide her, so the guards refused to let her go, but Shu Ning had already seen the situation outside the city, and the sides of the official road were bare and there was no stall.

She asked the guard: "Can't you set up a stall outside?"

The little girl has apricot-eyed and peach cheeks, and her voice is very attractive and sweet. The guard brother is in a good mood and explained: "Although the business travelers outside are rich, they rarely stay at street stalls. The stall owners mainly earn the business of the people in the city. You put the stall outside, and those who go out to do hard work have eaten in it. They will not go to your side again after they come out. They didn't expect that the people who go out of the city will not lead the way when they go out. Even if they see your stall inside, will they run back to get the way? It's so troublesome."

Shu Ning thought for a while and said, "But the hard work outside will come back in the evening. My stall is outside, and the first thing they see is me."

The guard laughed and said, "The little girl really doesn't know anything. The hard workers get off work late. When they come back, the city gate will be closed. You can eat slowly when you enter the city gate. What should you do if you eat your food outside?

Shuning:...

She really didn't expect the problem of the city gate closing.

I returned in vain this morning.

Uncle Li felt that the girl was very worried and secretly told Lord Song about this matter.

During dinner, Lord Song scolded his daughter and said that he could still support his family and would not have to show up in public.

Only then did Du hear about his daughter doing something outside, and he followed her husband to criticize her daughter.

Shu Ning lowered her head and said, "The story between me and the prince will spread sooner or later. You can't hide it. Anyway, you can't marry a decent family anymore. It's better to go out to do business and make money. If you have money in your hands, maybe there are poor scholars who are willing to marry me. I see that many of the stalls there are couples who have a good relationship, and it can be seen that women who show up in public will also have a husband's love."

A woman seems to have done a lot of things when she stays at home to wash clothes and cook, but she doesn't make money, and it's not very useful in her husband's eyes. She goes out to make money and takes the real money home. Except for the kind of man who wants to save face, which pragmatic husband would not like it?

After all, there were only a few scholars. In ancient times, more ordinary people were. In the hearts of the people, living a good life was the first priority, and etiquette and rules were all nonsense.

Lord Song didn't think about those things. He just felt ashamed of his daughter. He blamed him for being incompetent and letting his daughter be bullied by King Mu for nothing. He was so despised that he wanted to show up in business. Her husband's choice was limited to stall vendors and poor scholars.

Du thought about it carefully, but instead felt that his daughter's words made sense!

If she can make a lot of money, what does it mean if her husband is not an official?

"Even the prince likes to eat what Ningning makes, maybe setting up a stall can really make a fortune." Du began to support his daughter.

Young Master Song Run read few dead books and was more likely to accept his sister's idea. He suddenly said: "There is no place at the city gate. My sister can set up a stall at the wharf. The place there is big. You can place it wherever you place it. There are many dock workers. Sometimes I get hungry while working. Although the boss will give out steamed buns at noon, the steamed buns are not delicious at all. If my sister is there, I will go to my sister's place to eat."

Song Ze glared at him: "I think you are just for your own food!"

Song Run replied, "Don't you also think the steamed buns on the dock smell bad?"

Song Ze stopped talking, looked at his sister and lowered his head to eat. When his sister went there, he had delicious sisters and money to make money. If his sister didn't go there, there was no need to show up in public. Both paths had pros and cons.

In the end, Song Ze abstained from power, Shu Ning, Du Shi, and Song Run defeated the firmly opposed Lord Song with a vote of 3-1.

Shuning first went to the dock to observe it on the spot. This is the starting point of the Greater Canal. It has a wide view and a steady stream of merchants. The dock workers are like hardworking ants, carrying cargo bags and busy on board and under the boat. Hardships are hardships, but they are also full of hope. Not everyone is born to have no worries about food and clothing, but hardworking people will never have food to eat.

Shu Ning paid a not-high stall fee to the official office of the management terminal. She spent three days to build a shed of about 100 square meters to protect the sun and shelter from the rain. She bought tables and chairs. Everything was ready. Just when she prepared the ingredients and was about to do a big trip tomorrow, at dusk, a grand carriage that was incompatible with the surrounding environment appeared and parked in front of the Song family.

The little way was walking beside the carriage and went forward to knock on the door.

He came to take Miss Song to the palace under the order of His Highness Mu.

Shu Ning was kneading dough in the kitchen, wearing a cloth clothes, with only a wooden hairpin on her head. Knowing that the prince's orders were not to be violated, she washed the face on her hands, took off her apron, and came to Xiaoluzi with cloth clothes.

Xiaoluzi: "...The girl is going to see the prince like this?"

Shu Ning looked up and down and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Luzi was worried that the prince's mood would be affected, so he tactfully advised Shu Ning to change into a dress.

Shu Ning smiled and said, "The prince is determined to punish us. If I still have rich clothes and food, it is the same as before, how can the prince be happy?"

Small path:...
Chapter completed!
