The young leader chuckled, "It's all thanks to the little fortune his father and grandfather saved. And his concubines, out of jealousy, use so many tricks to win his favor. Some of them even surprise me."
The little boy quickly shook his head and said, "Don't tell me anymore, or I'll have nightmares at night."
He had heard many such stories since he was a child, and he knew how terrible and even bloody the women in the harem could be in their fight for favor.
He said, "Tell me quickly, is there any girl of the right age in their family?"
The young leader said, "No, his family has few children. There is only one son born to the mistress and a daughter born to a concubine. I saw the daughter once. She was probably about five or six years old."
Not getting the news he wanted, the boy took out a copper coin and gave it to the little leader and left.
This is the rule here. If you want to get information, you either have to pay money or exchange information. They have formed their own set of rules and small groups.
The two boys went to several houses separately but couldn't find a suitable one. Finally, they got together and only had one house left, which was General Guo's house.
The two men came to the vicinity of General Guo's mansion, found the local leader, and gave him a copper coin.
The little leader smiled and said, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Tell me, what do you want to know?"
The boy asked directly, "Does General Guo have any girls of suitable age in his family?"
The little leader thought about it, his eyes lit up, "It really is."
General Guo's youngest daughter is sixteen years old this year, which is the official marriageable age. It is said that her mother is looking for a good husband for her.
The two little boys' eyes lit up, it seemed to be her.
"Have you ever seen her wearing a pink dress, the kind that was popular a while ago?"
The young leader thought for a moment and said, "I've never seen this before. I'll have to ask my people."
The boy followed the little leader to their base.
The young leader asked, "Have you seen General Guo's little daughter, wearing a pink, chest-length skirt?"
Someone below spoke up, "I seemed to have seen it a few days ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it, so I'm not sure."
The little boy understood immediately and took out a few copper coins from his pocket and gave them to them. They immediately said, "Don't worry, we will keep an eye on it and let you two know as soon as we have any news."
After finishing the work, the two of them went back to the alley and waited for the rest of the people to come back and check the information with each other.
After leaving the alley today, Jiang Tuantuan went to Jiangyue Pavilion to find Erliu. Erliu was really quick in doing things. In just two days, she found a courtyard that she thought was pretty good.
As soon as he saw the boss coming, he immediately called the people from the pawnshop to go and see it together.
There are three in total, one of which is in the outer city and was excluded because it is a bit remote.
The second one was good in every way, except that the rent was a bit expensive, five taels of silver a month, for such a small yard.
I had no choice but to put my hopes on the third one, and as I walked, I actually arrived at Jiangyue Pavilion.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Erliu, weren't you looking at houses? Why are you back to the shop?"
Er Liu said: "The house is right behind the store. This is the one I am most satisfied with."
Walk into the alley next to the shop and you will arrive in just a few steps.
There are four households here, and these four households are surrounded by the shops in front, so it is not easy to find them unless you go in and see them.
But wouldn’t it be noisy behind the shop?
The man from the dental shop said, "Don't worry, ma'am. Although it's behind the shop, it's still quite a distance away. There's a small path in between, and there are trees on both sides of the path."
He said, "And there's no need to worry about the lighting, because the shops in front are only two stories high, so the sunlight won't be blocked at all. On the contrary, it's very quiet and won't be disturbed easily."
After staying there for half an hour, I found that it was indeed the case. The noise from the front was almost inaudible.
The dealer continued, "The three families next door are all good families, all educated people. They don't have the dirty things that people do on the streets. You can live here with absolute peace of mind."
After looking around, Jiang Tuantuan was quite satisfied. Although there were no flowers or plants in the yard, it looked very tidy precisely because there were no flowers or plants.
The house is in good repair and you can tell that the tenants here really like cleanliness.
Once the decision is made, we'll settle here.
But because she had been running around all afternoon and the sun was already setting, she still had to go to the alley, so she had to wait until tomorrow to complete the formalities.
So Jiang Tuantuan and the people from the dental office made an appointment to sign the agreement tomorrow morning.
The house was a big deal in his mind, and now that it had been resolved, Jiang Tuantuan quickly ran to the alley.
Four little boys had been waiting here for a long time. She walked in, squatted in the corner with them, and began to listen secretly to them sharing the news.
Today, Li Jingchen came out of the military camp again and went home without going anywhere.
Didn't get any useful information.
The other two said, "We've found out. General Guo's youngest daughter is sixteen years old, which is the right age for marriage. They say she seems to have worn a pink dress, but we're not sure. We've already sent someone to keep an eye on her."
After several days of searching, they finally got some news. Jiang Tuantuan took out a handful of copper coins and gave them to them. "Thank you for your hard work. Keep watching tomorrow."
The boys patted their chests and assured, "Absolutely no problem!"
After Jiang Tuantuan left, they began to sigh that this time the customer was really generous. The money they earned in these few days was equivalent to what they earned in the previous six months.
Yeah, it makes me not want to find out so quickly.
Although they said so, they still did their best and did not deliberately delay. This was also for the sake of their reputation. After this matter was done well, they would be contacted again next time when there was something to do.
Who would be willing to do a one-on-one deal?
The next day, in the morning, Jiang Tuantuan went to the brokerage firm to sign the agreement, went back to have lunch at noon, and stayed at Jiangyue Pavilion for a while in the afternoon.
See how the three little girls are doing with their spinning skills.
Jiang Tuantuan sat aside and listened for a while. It was quite interesting at first, but then he became more and more sleepy and bored the more he listened.
Just go out directly.
After the nanny finished speaking, Jiang Tuantuan started chatting with her, "How are these little girls doing in their studies?"
Mammy said, "They are indeed very talented!"
She learns much faster than I did back then. If I teach her for another one or two years, she will be able to weave cloth independently.
Jiang Tuantuan is very proud, I have good vision!
In half an hour, the sun would begin to set, and it was time to go to the alley to meet the boys. But as soon as I stepped out of the door, I was greeted by an unexpected person.
"Madam, long time no see!"
