Chapter 710: Poisonous Tea at the Apprenticeship Ceremony
The Bai family was already annoyed by the affairs of the old house, and when they heard that the old man was still so confused, they felt that his self-cultivation in the Bai Lu family had been raised in vain, but fortunately, everyone was far away, otherwise he would have to be angry to death.
Bai Ruozhu counted the days, according to the time mentioned in Zhou Deshun's letter, when the Zhou family came over, she had already set off for the capital, she couldn't help but feel a little pity, thought about it and said to her father: "That's okay, my house is vacated for Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou to live in temporarily." ”
"No, no, your Uncle Zhou's family will go directly to live in the field, we will hire people to farm, and he will help me take care of those people. Bai Yihong said a little proudly, "I told him that when the vegetables are up, the income from the field will be divided into two percent of his dividends." ”
Lin Ping'er laughed out loud next to her, Bai Yihong scratched his head a little nervously, and asked, "Do you give more or less?" I don't understand this either. ”
Lin Ping'er smiled and said, "I don't understand either, it's just that you are the same as your daughter, as soon as you open your mouth, it is 20%, and you will recognize this number." ”
Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyelids, yo, what does her mother mean, do you mean that she recognizes two?
Bai Yihong scratched his head and laughed, "Then I learned from my daughter, and it must be right to follow her example." ”
Bai Ruozhu laughed a little embarrassed, in fact, she didn't calculate it carefully, she just wanted to give as much as she wanted, so she was used to saying two percent directly.
After another two days, it was the day of the apprenticeship ceremony arranged by Lin Zhenghui, Lin Zhenghui had never accepted apprentices before, so this time the apprenticeship attracted the attention of all levels of the Chamber of Commerce, and the apprenticeship ceremony was very grand, which made Bai Ruozhu feel a little nervous.
Fortunately, with Jiang Yichun by her side throughout the whole process, she felt at ease, even if everyone felt that she was not worthy of this position and felt that she was incapable, as long as Jiang Yichun supported her, it was enough.
According to the rules, after the ceremony, Bai Ruozhu gave Lin Zhenghui tea, she knelt in front of Lin Zhenghui, took the tea brought by the servant, raised it above her head, and said, "Please use tea, Master." ”
But before she could lift it, her nose moved slightly, and her face changed slightly. This tea is poisonous, although it is not highly poisonous, but who wants to use her hand to harm Lin Zhenghui? She didn't know how to deal with it for a while, if she directly pointed out that the tea was poisonous, would she force the ghost maker to be anxious and directly hurt the killer? But if she didn't say it, she couldn't give this tea to her master, even if she could detoxify it, but there was no reason for her master to be poisoned in vain, right?
Everyone was waiting for her to serve tea, but they found that she was stunned, and even Lin Zhenghui was a little surprised, but soon he realized that there was something wrong with the tea.
Bai Ruozhu suddenly put the teacup back in the tray, and said softly to the servant: "The tea is a little cold, and there are worms in the cup, go change the cup, otherwise it will be disrespectful to my master, so I will kneel and wait." ”
Originally, someone had already opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was nitpicking, and there were so many things to do to make a tea, was it not disrespectful to Elder Lin? But her last sentence blocked everyone's words, and she said kneeling and waiting, which also showed that she would not get up before the salute was finished, and it also showed her respect for the master.
Jiang Yichun had already seen the clues, and he was reluctant to let her kneel for a long time, but thinking that this was her decision, he should respect her.
Lin Zhenghui nodded silently in his heart, Bai Ruozhu was calm, and he didn't immediately shout that it was right to be poisonous, this kind of thing is better to investigate in secret, but it will be more effective, and making a fuss in public will only destroy her apprenticeship, and some people will say that some people in the Chamber of Commerce disagree with her and deliberately prevent her from becoming his heir, which will only harm her in the future activities in the Chamber of Commerce.
"If the bamboo is filial piety, get up first, I don't care about those rules. Lin Zhenghui said with some distress.
Bai Ruozhu was still kneeling and said, "It's okay, Master, that maid won't be too long." ”
Sure enough, soon the maid brought new tea, the cup was changed, and even the tray was changed, Bai Ruozhu picked up the teacup this time and carefully checked it, and made sure that it was not poisonous, so he raised it above his head and said respectfully: "Please use tea, Master." ”
Lin Zhenghui took the teacup with a smile and took a sip, and said, "Okay, okay, get up." ”
Bai Ruozhu got up at this time, the expression on her face was very calm, but she had already begun to scold her mother in her heart, she was really not used to kneeling as a modern person, and it didn't matter if she was kneeling today, but because someone poisoned her and knelt for nearly a quarter of an hour, her knees really hurt to death.
Of course, kneeling for a while will definitely not hurt your knees, but Bai Ruozhu rarely kneels until now, and he is not used to it at all.
Lin Zhenghui took out a golden abacus and gave it to Bai Ruozhu and said, "This is a meeting gift from the master to you, take it well." ”
Bai Ruozhu's eyes almost flashed gold, the small abacus of pure gold is about the size of two palms, which is worth a lot of silver. Of course, she didn't seem to be as cowardly as she was on the surface, and after thanking her master again, she stood behind Lin Zhenghui.
Lin Zhenghui said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone knows each other, you will also take care of the younger generations in the future, it is rare for me Lin Zhenghui to accept an apprentice, you old guys, don't bully her." ”
Everyone said how it would be, but someone muttered: "No wonder it can enter the eyes of Old Man Lin, it turns out to be a complete sycophant." ”
Bai Ruozhu's ears were pointed, and when he heard this, he immediately looked at the man, who was an old man with a somewhat snarky appearance. Originally, she just wanted to see if it would be the one who poisoned her, but when the old man saw her looking at her, he immediately showed a righteous look, and said loudly: "What, am I not right?
Everyone was quiet for a while, and said in their hearts, this old man Wang lost his temper again, and what he said was too much for people to get off the stage, right? If Elder Lin protects his shortcomings, he will have to quarrel today.
Bai Ruozhu smiled at him and said, "Mrs. Wang is joking, how can honoring your master be called a sycophant?
Lin Zhenghui had introduced everyone present to Bai Ruozhu one by one before, he had gone through the process, and he didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to remember it once, but at this time, it seems that Bai Ruozhu's memory is really good.
The stinky temper Wang Liansheng's face was a little red when Bai Ruozhu said it, and he wanted to say a few more words, but didn't that admit that he was not respected by his apprentices?
"A sharp-toothed little girl. Wang Liansheng deliberately bit the three words of the little girl a little harder, which means that he looks down on Bai Ruozhu's young age and thinks that she is incapable.
Bai Ruozhu smiled, and didn't quarrel with him anymore, the sentence just now was enough, and if she said too much, it would be endless, and she didn't want to make a bad reputation for disrespecting the old-timers when she just entered the Chamber of Commerce. As for this Wang Liansheng, he is just an old antique who eats the ancients, does she need to be as knowledgeable as him?
Of course, she also made sure that poisoned tea is not Wang Liansheng's masterpiece, but there are so many people present, who will it be?
