Over the years, Ho Ying has saved up more than 50 taels of savings. When he left the He family, he only brought a deed and the silver.

The inn is closed at dusk.

A curfew was about to come, and Ho Ying had nowhere to go, so he had to sneak back to the house where he borrowed Chen Jiao.

It was pitch black in the room. After Chen Jiao coaxed Brother Lin to fall asleep, she couldn't sleep at all and lay silently to think about the future.

Ho Ying jumped down from the wall quietly and landed silently.

The house had two inches, but Ho Ying didn't walk in, so he opened a room in the downfall and slipped in.

When He Jinchang gave the house to his adopted son, the furniture in the house was fully purchased, but he had not lived in it for too long. There was a smoke and dust in the house. The seat was for the doorman and the servants lived in it. In addition to the wardrobe, table and chair, there was only an ordinary wooden bed and a bare bed frame. Ho Ying was not afraid of the dirt, but he was upset and didn't want to sleep. He put the money bag and the house deed on the table. Ho Ying returned to the yard and squatted down to pull the weeds in the moonlight.

He moved very lightly and made no sound.

The night was as cool as water, and Ho Ying was busy tirelessly, but instead sweated.

All the weeds in the corners of the front yard were removed and piled up in a few piles. Ho Ying went to the back yard again.

There were countless crickets hidden in the weeds, and the crickets were screaming one after another. Huo Ying didn't care. In the front yard, Chen Jiao, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the scream. People who had insomnia were also in pain. Chen Jiao looked at her sleeping son, and she got up quietly, put on her coat, and walked outside.

Since you have no intention of sleeping, it is better to look at the moonlight.

Chen Jiao opened the door and looked up. The moonlight was like water, illuminating the situation in the yard. I don’t know who cleaned the weeds in the yard, and they were divided into piles and placed in various corners. The air was mixed with the smell of soil and grass.

Chen Jiao looked at the yard blankly.

Someone must have come to her family. The thief will not help her weed her. Only Ho Ying can do this job.

The crickets in the backyard were still chirping.

Chen Jiao had some courage, so she tied her clothes and walked towards the backyard by chance. She walked around the corridor and was close to the exit. While slowing down, Chen Jiao looked into the yard secretly and saw a tall man standing up from the grass. He held a pile of weeds and placed it next to him, and then squatted down.

It's indeed Ho Ying.

Chen Jiao looked at the busy man with confusion. Ho Ying said she would come to weed, but she didn't have to come over in the middle of the night, right?

Chen Jiao walked out slowly, this time, she did not deliberately hide the sound of footsteps.

When Ho Ying heard the movement, he turned back in disbelief.

In Chen Jiao's eyes, Ho Ying was tilted, holding the newly pulled weeds in one hand, like a farmer. In Ho Ying's eyes, Chen Jiao walked slowly from the darkness in a long skirt. The evening breeze gently blew up her soft and loose long hair, and her face was fair and gentle, as if a fairy was coming.

This is the first time Ho Ying saw a woman without combing her hair. Chen Jiao, with long hair hanging down, is more delicate, charming and softer than when her hair is neat.

Ho Ying lowered his head.

Chen Jiao stopped five steps away from him and asked him in confusion: "You, why are you here at this time?"

Ho Ying had already thought of the excuse and looked at the weed in front of him and said, "I came here in the sun and was afraid that people would see it, so I came tonight."

Chen Jiao looked around and saw that there were still half of the weeds in the backyard. She couldn't help but persuade: "Go to go to bed first, and I'll do it tomorrow morning. Anyway, the door is closed, and no one knows if you don't speak."

Ho Ying knew that he couldn't sleep even when he returned to his room, so he refused and said, "Forget it, let's finish it in one breath. I have to go to the new employer early in the morning."

Chen Jiao said in surprise: "You..."

Ho Ying said cheerfully: "Yes, I just came out of the He family, and my new owner was waiting at the door. I was there to manage food and accommodation. I still have three taels of wages every month. I will get another reward for lion dance. After cleaning up the yard, I probably won't come again. I still have fifty taels of silver. Let me leave it to Brother Lin. You orphans and widows, and you have to face rumors again. It's not easy."

Chen Jiao's life in the future is destined to be extremely difficult. Since Ho Ying has a good time, she is not polite and thanks again and promises that she will repay Ho Ying's kindness twice in the future.

Ho Ying shook his head and said, "It's all for Brother Lin, no need to be polite, ma'am."

Chen Jiao didn't know what to say.

"It's cold outside, let's go back and rest." Ho Ying turned over and said with his back to her.

Chen Jiao had to leave.

The next day, Chen Jiao woke up and found that the haystacks in the yard were gone. There was a purse on the steps in front of the door. Chen Jiao picked it up and there were fifty taels of silver and a deed.

At midnight, Ho Ying was entrusted by Chen Jiao and sent someone to come.

The man didn't know Chen Jiao, so he led ten maids to the door and asked Chen Jiao to pick them up.

Chen Jiao bought three strong and powerful maids, who were responsible for purchasing pomegranates and cooking, and longan was responsible for washing and cleaning. Jixiang not only served her and Brother Lin, but also helped Chen Jiao run errands. The three maids spent a total of fifteen taels of silver.

After the man-teeth left, Chen Jiao asked Brother Lin to stay in the room, and she told her identity and experience openly.

Chen Jiao chose maids with honest faces. As expected, the three girls did not disappoint Chen Jiao, and they all expressed their loyalty to Chen Jiao.

There was a lot of gossip outside, and Chen Jiao didn't go out yet, so she was at home to teach Brother Lin to study.

Half a month later, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Pomegranate ran over and said to Chen Jiao: "Miss, there is a man named Zhao Hu asking for Mr. Huo."

Zhao Hu is Huo Ying's lion dance partner. Chen Jiao was curious about his purpose and asked Pomegranate to invite Zhao Hu to the main hall.

"Madam." Seeing Chen Jiao, Zhao Hu was shocked at first, then immediately lowered his head, and his tone was as respectful as before.

Chen Jiao did not correct his name and asked him to sit down for tea. She said strangely: "Are you looking for Ho Ying?"

Zhao Hu is a honest and simple lion dancer. He touched the back of his head, looked at Chen Jiao again, and said in a muffled voice: "I entered the He family with Huo Ying. Now that he has left, it is boring for me to stay there, so I came to him and wanted to work with him. The He family does not allow him to go to other lion shops. We both open one by ourselves. With our ability, we are not afraid of no business."

The lion dance show is now controlled by He Jinrong. He Jinrong deliberately did not use him. Zhao Hu was very frustrated and left by himself.

When Chen Jiao heard this, her face changed drastically. She stared at Zhao Hu and asked, "The He family is not allowed to go to other lion shops?"

Zhao Hu looked at her strangely and said, "Yes, Ho Ying didn't tell you? He swears in front of the He family that he will not serve other lion shops."

The man's free and handsome face came to his mind, and Chen Jiao clenched the veil in anger. Since Ho Ying had not gone to another lion shop, he had no place to live, and he did not have the so-called three taels of wages per month, then where was he in the past half month and what life would he live? If he had known Ho Ying was so gentlemanly, Chen Jiao would never have borrowed his house, let alone collected his money.

"He has left long ago." Chen Jiao explained everything to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu trusted Ho Ying as much as He Wei. He knew that Ho Ying was not that kind of person. Now that he learned that Ho Ying had done such a loyal thing, Zhao Hu felt sad and admired, and stood up and said, "Madam, don't worry, I'll go find him now. Even if I search Jiangzhou City, I will still catch him!"

"etc."

Chen Jiao called out to Zhao Hu and reminded him with hatred: "After finding him, don't show up first. Come back and tell me and take me to see him."

Zhao Hu still regarded her as the He family's wife and agreed happily.

After Zhao Hu left, Chen Jiao retreated to the main hall, and unknowingly thought of the night when Huo Ying came to weed.

He has nowhere to go, right? He is obviously a broken dog, but he is still a hero in front of her.

Chen Jiao was very angry, but tears came out in disgrace.

Zhao Hu is very familiar with Jiangcheng. Men who have no skills are looking for work, and they basically do hard work.

Zhao Hu ran directly to the dock to find someone.

Workers unloading goods from the ship and moving goods onto the ship can be seen everywhere. Zhao Hu looked over one by one and searched for a day. At dusk, he finally asked him to recognize the familiar figure.

It was like seeing a male lion falling into an ant colony, Zhao Hu glared at the man carrying two bags of goods off the board, and rushed to Chen Jiao angrily.

Chen Jiao changed into a common man and dressed up as an ordinary woman. She followed Zhao Hu and hurriedly found her.

Just as Ho Ying and his group of workers were having dinner, groups of men sat shirtless next to the dock, holding a bun in one hand and gnawing.

Ho Ying sat in the innermost place, facing the sea with his back to the dock. The sea breeze was salty, and the men around him were covered in salty sweat. However, Ho Ying was used to it and ate the buns bite by bit.

Suddenly, waves of whistles came from my ears.

"Miss, so beautiful."

"Look at that breast, I guess the two of us buns are not as big as hers."

"Shhh, let's say a little bit, come to us."

All kinds of vulgar dirty words came to my ears one after another, and Ho Ying was used to it. There were passenger ships at the pier. Whenever a woman passed by, no matter how beautiful or ugly, she would be commented on by these men.

Ho Ying was not interested in seeing it. He raised his hand and was about to bite the bun again when the worker next to him suddenly poked his arm.

Ho Ying turned his head.

The man looked behind him and stammered: "Look for you."

Who is looking for him?

Ho Ying sat on the ground, holding a bun in one hand, and turned his head in confusion.

Today's sunset was particularly bright, and countless golden lights were projecting from the sea. It was too dazzling. Ho Ying narrowed his eyes and moved his eyes upwards. After a while, he could see Chen Jiao's beautiful little face. She seemed very angry, pursing her lips tightly, staring at him with peach blossom eyes, and two lines of clear tears rolled down.

The bun in Ho Ying's hand also fell down.

Zhao Hu stood not far away and watched the fun.

"Get up." Chen Jiao wiped her tears and said coldly.

Ho Ying stood up subconsciously. The tall and upright man looked up at her just now, but now he was much taller than her.

Chen Jiao didn't care, as if he was Brother Lin, pointed at the way he came: "Let's go, go home."

Ho Ying also stuttered: "I, I still have work."

Chen Jiao looked up suddenly, and glared at him while crying: "Can you go?"

Ho Ying looked at the tears in her eyes and could no longer say anything.

Chen Jiao took the lead in walking back.

Ho Ying followed awkwardly and walked to Zhao Hu. He glared at Zhao Hu, and was hugged by Zhao Hu and punched him in the stomach.
