Chapter 945: Wooing
The reluctant look shown by the merchant just now was just knowing the meaning of what this person said, just to express whether he was willing to accept another position, of course, he asked more attentively: "Then what can I do?"
The fourth laughed and immediately said: "I still need a clever little guy by my side, run errands for me, and watch more people in the yard." I just don't know, are you willing to help me?"
The fourth child's words are a bit heavy, but in fact, he just wants to develop his own henchmen. After all, before, these servants of the Zhao family were slaves for generations. The relationship between everyone is intricate, and even if he finds that someone is lazy, he doesn't dare to reprimand anything.
After all, although he claims to be a steward, he actually has power, but he doesn't dare to use it. Who of these people knows the relationship between the seven aunts and the eight aunts, and after they punish a person at will, they may offend the people he can't afford to offend.
What a shrewd man the merchant is, as soon as he heard the fourth child say this, he immediately understood what he meant. The words of the fourth child just met the wishes of the merchant. This is not a pie in the sky for the merchant.
So as soon as the fourth child's words fell, the merchant had already stood up straight, and his face was even more serious, showing his loyalty seriously.
"The fourth master gave me such a good opportunity, if I don't seize it, the heavens won't be able to see it. I promise, I will listen to the fourth master in the courtyard in the future, but whatever you ask me to do, do my best, and I will do it well. ”
The merchant's loyalty still made the fourth child very satisfied. He was also a shrewd and capable man just now, and he felt that it was a waste for such a person to just clean the garden. Only then did he have an idea, and he planned to sell a good seller, which could be regarded as a confidant.
It's not that the merchant is a rare clever person, the most important thing is that this person doesn't know anyone in the Zhao family, and his introducer is Zhao Shiyi, the shame of the Zhao family, just look at the appearance of the merchant, you can know that it can't be Zhao Shiyi's kind of person. These two people will not have too deep a friendship, which makes the fourth child feel more at ease.
An outsider who doesn't know anyone in the Zhao family and doesn't have much friendship with anyone is even more reassuring to the fourth. also gave birth to the idea of pulling the merchant to his side.
The two hit it off, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides was getting better and better, and the fourth child was particularly enthusiastic and personally arranged the merchant's residence. Of course, he did this mainly to announce to everyone that the merchant would be his person in the future.
The fourth child also believes that from the conversation with the merchant just now, the merchant's reaction can be seen that this is a smart person. Knowing what to do in the future is the best for yourself.
The servants of the Zhao family generally live in the large courtyard in the backstreet of the master's house. The head of the house had the most servants, and the courtyard was already full. In order to win over the merchant, and also to let the merchant see his ability, the fourth child deliberately did not arrange the merchant to other miscellaneous courtyards, but took him to a small courtyard where the male protagonists lived and waited for people.
Today is the first day that the merchant enters Zhao's house, and the fourth child just took him around the yard of the head of the house, mainly to tell the merchant where the master lives and where the stewards live. The most important thing is to tell the merchant where to find himself when he has something in the future.
arranged a good place to live, and the fourth child sold a good seller, so that he could not go to work today and get familiar with the environment first. Of course, in the end, he carefully reminded the merchant that it was best not to go to the master's residence.
Respectfully sent the fourth child away, and the merchant began to look at the residence, because of the preferential treatment of the fourth, the merchant was assigned to a room for two. There are two beds in the room, one bed is obviously occupied, and there are some daily necessities on the cabinet next to it.
The merchant put his baggage on the empty bed and did not stay in the house much. The other man was obviously on an errand, and the merchant didn't plan to stay in the house all the time.
He entered Zhao's house to find out the news, make friends with more people, and be more useful to him. And the servants in this courtyard, he heard the fourth child just now, the servants who live in this courtyard are all waiters around the master.
The fourth child deliberately mentioned this point to let the merchant know his preferential treatment of the merchant, but when he heard this in the merchant's ears, he was also really happy.
It's not because the environment where they live is good, but because these people are close to the master, there are many sources, and he has a good relationship with these people, which is more conducive to his ability to complete the task of the Gong Jian brothers.
The merchant walked around the small courtyard, and after getting to know a few people who were not on duty, he walked out of the courtyard and walked around the neighborhood at will, familiarizing himself with the nearby environment.
Fortunately, what this merchant originally did was to walk the streets and alleys to deal with people. So soon, he went from being strange to familiar with other people, and those people were also very happy, and the new outsider was quite good to deal with. Although these people inevitably look down on the merchant because they were originally born in the Zhao family, they can't stand the sweetness of the merchant's mouth, and they can always speak to people's hearts in a few words. Talking to such a person is a very pleasant pleasure in itself. So it's not a lot of effort, but after meeting and talking with the merchant for a few words, these people look at the merchant and his eyes have become much kinder.
Of course, at first, the merchant would not be eager to get information from these people's mouths. After all, he had to gain a firm foothold in the Zhao family before thinking about other things.
Before coming, the Gong Jian brothers had told the merchant that the young master named Zhao Rong was called Xiao Tao. The news that the merchant had just found out from the side from the other people in the courtyard showed that although these people were also serving by the master's side, they were obviously not the most important position to serve closely.
The people who are really the henchmen of the master do not live here, they live directly in the courtyard of the master. And after a circle just now, although the merchant didn't dare to ask anyone else about Xiao Tao's news, none of the people he met called Xiao Tao's name.
He muttered in his heart, it seems that this little peach either lives in the master's yard, or rests in the courtyard where he is not idle now. He prayed in his heart, hoping for the latter reason, but to his disappointment, it was not until the evening that all the people in the courtyard returned, and the merchant was able to see them all. But none of them are called Little Peach.
Lying in bed at night, the merchant had to admit that it seemed that this little peach didn't live in this yard at all.
