In this society, no matter whether they are rich or poor, they will not go out to work. Most poor families will make some necklaces or do some embroidery, and then sell them for money, but will never go out to work for others.
If there is a place in this world where women work, it must be a brothel, or they work as slaves for wealthy families.
So when a place recruiting female workers appeared in the capital, it naturally attracted a lot of attention. Therefore, Chen Yalan just took a tael of silver and asked someone to tell him the location of the place recruiting female workers.
Seeing Chen Yalan's generosity and luxurious attire, the man asked, "Sir, you appear to be dressed in luxurious attire, so you shouldn't be sending your family members to work. Why are you asking about this?"
However, Chen Yalan was just perfunctory, asking him to just tell her what he knew, regardless of her purpose.
After finding out where the job was being recruited, Chen Yalan immediately came there.
That was a tall courtyard wall.
Arriving at the door, Chen Yalan knocked on it. After a while, the door opened a crack, and a man stuck his head out and asked, "Who is it?"
When he said this, he had not seen the person coming. When he saw clearly that it was a man standing in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.
Their place is recruiting female workers, and usually all the people who come here are women, so when he suddenly saw a man, he naturally felt a little different.
However, since he was able to work as a doorman here, he naturally had some experience, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
Chen Yalan saw that this person looked fearful when he first saw her, but then adjusted his expression in just a few seconds. She knew that this person was definitely not a simple one. This also proved that there might be something fishy going on in the place where this female worker worked.
But at this moment, he still turned to the gatekeeper, smiled slightly and said, "Hello, young man. I heard that you are recruiting female workers here. I have some daughters at home and I would like to send them here to work, but I want to see what you do here first."
Although the doorman was still a little worried, he also felt that Chen Yalan's words were very reasonable, so he felt relieved.
"So that's the case. Then come in and take a look!" After saying that, the doorman opened the door and welcomed Chen Yalan in.
His behavior made Chen Yalan a little confused. Looking at his expression when he first saw her, Chen Yalan was sure that there must be something fishy going on in this compound and they would not let her set foot in so easily.
But that was not the case. She just made up an excuse and the doorman opened the door to let her in. Could it be that she was really wrong? Was the man just a little wary because he saw that she was a man?
Shaking her head, Chen Yalan put the idea aside. No matter what the matter was, she should go in and find out first.
After she came in, the doorman did not follow her, but just told her to go in and take a look.
This made Chen Yalan feel even more confused.
Chen Yalan walked towards the yard, observing her surroundings as she walked, hoping to find something unusual.
However, no matter how she looked, she couldn't find anything wrong.
When she walked to the backyard, she found some women gathered there. Each of them was holding a wooden basin with clothes soaking in it. These women were washing the clothes.
These women were not very old, so when they saw a strange man coming in, they blushed and didn't dare to look up.
It looks like this is a place for washing clothes. Are they recruiting workers here and hiring these women just to wash clothes?
Feeling a little puzzled, Chen Yalan observed carefully and found many wooden basins, clothes hangers and the like. She then realized that they were probably not just for show.
Could it be that I really made a mistake? With this thought in mind, Chen Yalan started to return.
When she reached the gate, she said to the doorman, "Young man, I've already taken a look. I'll go back and think about it before deciding whether to let our daughter come to work."
Her words meant she was leaving. The doorman immediately opened the door and said, "Of course. Go back and think about it carefully."
After the door was completely opened, Chen Yalan walked out. At this time, a man came in from outside the door. Instead of stopping him, the doorman welcomed him in with a flattering look on his face.
When he came towards her, Chen Yalan took a look at the man's face and was a little surprised. The man looked very handsome.
But when she passed by the man, Chen Yalan felt that the man had a sinister aura, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Frowning, Chen Yalan turned back to look at the closed door. Who was this man? Was this place really just a laundry room as it appeared?
Some questions lingered in her mind and could not be shaken off.
As for Fu Liu, after she got up, she found a letter left by Chen Yalan on the table, which said that Chen Yalan had gone out for something.
Sighing, Fu Liu muttered to himself, "Why did you go out so early without even calling me? I'm so bored now."
The sun was getting higher and higher, and the streets were gradually becoming bustling with people. Their room happened to face the street, so the noise downstairs made Fu Liu unable to sit still in the room.
She thought that since Chen Yalan had gone out to do something, it would probably take some time for her to come back. If she spent this time in the inn, wouldn't it be a waste of good time?
Thinking of this, she began to want to go out and take a look. When she heard the noise of people downstairs, this desire became even stronger.
"Forget it, I don't have anything to do here. I might as well go out and take a look. I won't go far anyway. I will be back before Sister Chen comes back." Fu Liu thought as he took action.
She quickly dressed herself, then opened the door and walked out.
Fu Liu used to be a child from a poor family, so she found the things being sold in the capital very strange.
With curiosity, she looked here and there, with a smile on her face, thinking to herself that this time, her trip was not in vain.
"Fortune telling is not allowed without money." Suddenly, a voice came to Fu Liu's ears.
She looked in the direction of the sound out of curiosity and saw a blind old man sitting in front of a stall, holding a bell in his hand and shouting non-stop.
Fortune telling? Fu Liu was a little curious. She also wanted to know her own marriage fate, so she walked over.
