A lot of things have happened in the capital during this period, especially a street in Xicheng was closed.
This street originally had shops owned by the Marquis of Huaiyin and the eldest princess. No one knew who was so powerful that he even dared to seal off their shops.
Compared with this kind of thing, the plan to execute Chen Laoliu and others in the autumn was a small incident, not enough to make the people in the capital waste their energy.
In a place like the capital, two people are executed every year. Those who gather at the execution ground to watch the killing are obviously ignorant.
Serious people in the capital don't like to go to the execution ground for no reason. If they have free time, why not find a way to make money?
Ding San is a native of Beijing. He has been hanging around at the bottom of society since he was a child and has seen all kinds of people.
He had little education and didn't want to work hard. Now he was almost in his twenties and still had no proper way to make a living.
To put it nicely, he still has some aspirations for his life. To put it bluntly, he is just an idle street urchin.
A few years ago, his family was planning to arrange a marriage for him, but when the girl's family found out what kind of person he was, they began to avoid him like the plague.
Ding San didn't care about these things. He now spent all day hanging out in various gambling houses. If he had some money in his hand, he would go to the table to gamble. If he had no money, he would just serve those rich guys and play cards.
He is a clever man, and good at talking. Once the card players are happy after winning, they will reward him with some melons or dates.
It is unlikely to make a fortune from this job. At best, you can only keep yourself from starving.
Sometimes Ding San wondered if this was all his life would be like.
In fact, he was a little unwilling to accept it. He felt that he was eloquent, good-looking, and smart, so how did he end up like this?
Every day when he returned home, facing his sighing parents and looking at his younger brothers and sisters at home, Ding San felt very uncomfortable.
They say that when a person is unlucky, even drinking water will cause problems for his teeth. Ding San felt that he had been unlucky for the past two days.
Not only did he lose almost all his money in the casino, but he was also beaten up.
Just now, he saw a big boss who was very lucky and spent a lot of money. He wanted to go up and say a few auspicious words to see if he could get some money, at least a meal.
As a result, before he could pass the exam, the big boss came directly to him as a sophomore.
As for the reason for beating him, it was even more impeccable.
People say that he is very lucky now, so people like Ding San should stay away from him to avoid passing on bad luck.
Ding San originally wanted to argue with the other party, but when he saw that the other party was followed by five or six bodyguards, he could only run out of the gambling house in shame, wiped the blood from his nose, and spat fiercely in the direction of the gambling house.
"Bah! What a joke! It's just a few bucks, what's so great about that? When I become rich, I'll buy out all your businesses and make you beg me on your knees!"
This was quite ambitious, but the rumbling sound from my stomach right after I said it was quite discouraging.
Ding San felt a little worried when he touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten last night and it was already noon. He was already starving.
But he was short of money and couldn't afford to dine and freeload.
If he could fill his stomach with a beating, he would have accepted it. The problem was that he was too famous to go to big restaurants, and the people at small roadside stalls would demand payment before eating when they saw him coming.
"They're asking people to pay before the food even arrives. Is this still justice? Is this still law?"
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Finally, Ding San sighed and decided to find a well to drink some cold water to fill his stomach.
But as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw a group of people gathered there, and he didn't know what they were doing.
"Who cares what he does? This is God's gift to me. With so many people gathered here, I can just steal one or two of his wallets and have money for the rest of my meal!"
Thinking this way, Ding San stealthily walked towards the crowd. When he got close and was about to make a move, he heard a calm and neutral voice from inside: "Everyone, this is a deal between the Princess and the Imperial Preceptor. I don't know what you are still hesitating about."
"I'll tell you, we don't want just anyone. First, they can't be too ugly. Second, they must be clean. Finally, they need to be sweet-talking, know how to deal with people, and understand the rules of the casino."
"As long as you meet these requirements, you can come and sign up with me. The probation period is one month, and you will be paid one hundred yuan per month during the probation period. After the probation period, if you are officially hired, your salary will increase to four hundred yuan, and any gifts from customers will be yours."
"In addition, we provide three meals a day and lodging. If you don't live with us, you can get an extra half a pound per month. But I advise you to stay with us. The conditions at home are definitely not as good as the dormitory we provide."
"When I said clean, I meant not only that your hands and feet should be clean, but also that your body should be clean. Your clothes should be decent and odor-free, and you should shower every day. You are here to serve the nobles, and you must not offend them!"
"Also, there are four days of vacation every month. You can take them all at once or split them up. You can discuss with your teammates how to rest and adjust your rest time flexibly."
"Stop arguing, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. The Imperial Master said that as long as everyone does a good job, there will be rewards at the end of the year. It's called a year-end bonus."
