Fan Hongdao's inquiry is more formal, and it is no longer an almost joking flirtation. The shopkeeper Wang could also feel it, but he was entangled again, and hesitated again for some reason.

Fan Hongdao was a little impatient with his mother-in-law's shopkeeper Wang, and took out his long sword again, and said to the shopkeeper Wang: "Since it is so difficult, the shopkeeper Wang should not open his mouth." If you owe the debt, you will pay it with this sword, and you will not lose it. ”

Shopkeeper Wang smiled bitterly a few times, "Let's go, I'll tell the truth." ”

It turns out that the owner of this Rugui inn is surnamed Yang, and people in this area are called Yang Chaofeng. Recently, Yang Chaofeng planned to invite a scholar to act as Mr. Xixi in the family, and the shopkeeper Wang pondered recommending Fan Hongdao to try it.

Fan Hongdao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the matter that made the shopkeeper Wang entangled for a long time was to recommend himself to go to his boss to get an errand.

In these days, it is not surprising that wealthy families hire a scholar at home, or to teach classes, or to help with paperwork and letters, or to serve as a guest to help, and this is also a way for many scholars to make a living.

So what Fan Hongdao thinks about is whether he will return to his hometown or stay in the capital temporarily? If he plans to return to his hometown, then there is no need to continue the discussion with the shopkeeper Wang.

However, after a little thought, Fan Hongdao decided to stay here in the capital for the time being. As soon as I was penniless, I didn't find relatives and friends who could ask for help, and I didn't entangle, so how could I go all the way back to Nanjing?

Second, there is a feeling of homesickness, I have just crossed over, everything has to be re-adapted, and even my new identity needs time to gradually become familiar. In this state, it's okay to just face strangers, but if you deal with relatives and acquaintances, it's easy to see the problem.

In addition, the family still has a few acres of thin fields, and there are relatives to take care of them, so it should not be a problem to maintain only the mother's livelihood. If you go back like this, you will have an extra mouth to eat, but it will become a burden to the family, and your mother will suffer together.

After thinking it through, Fan Hongdao quickly made a decision, whether to stay in the capital to seek a livelihood first, and then consider returning to his hometown in the future. After all, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you have to go back to your hometown to take the exam after all.

After making up his mind about staying in Beijing, it is acceptable to go to someone else's house to be a gentleman. So Fan Hongdao asked the shopkeeper Wang: "You said about this errand in the hall, how many bundles can Yang Chaofeng give in a year." ”

The shopkeeper replied, "Listening to the proprietor's meaning, it is about twenty taels." ”

Fan Hongdao silently calculated in his heart, twenty taels a year sounds not less, but it is not much. Based on the current market, the annual income of the most ordinary helpers in metropolitan cities is almost a dozen taels, and twenty taels is only a few taels more than ordinary helpers.

This is basically the lowest price among readers, and as far as Fan Hongdao knows, the better seats in the west of the hall start at thirty or forty taels.

So Fan Hongdao frowned slightly, a talented person must be arrogant, after the fusion of the two Fan Hongdao souls, the personality of the twenty-first century and the wildness of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty have all been preserved.

Even Fan Hongdao, the original body before being crossed, was able to pass the Xiucai exam when he was a teenager, and there was a proud side in his character. Only taking a minimum base salary will obviously not satisfy Fan Hongdao, no matter which Fan Hongdao it is.

Shopkeeper Wang seemed to see Fan Hongdao's thoughts, he hesitated here before, thinking that "grace and power" was also to suppress Fan Xiucai's pride, but unfortunately it failed completely.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang could only explain: "Our old man Yang is not a rich family, he can only be called honest, and this is the market for Xixi."

You don't have a good livelihood now, you might as well try it, if you can be used by Master Yang, you will become your own family, and you can even avoid the arrears of the inn, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Fan Hongdao secretly thought, what the shopkeeper said is also a little reasonable. I don't have much fame now, and I am a down-and-out talent who is not worth much money in the capital, and it is indeed difficult to ask for a bundle of dozens of taels a year.

What's more, I am not familiar with the place in the capital at present, and even the next meal is a problem at present, so what I urgently need is to find a stable place to stay, and as for the number of restraints, it is secondary.

Let's solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then talk about anything else! Fan Hongdao sighed a long sigh, it is really a dragon and a small stream and a tiger falling in Pingyang! Even if you want to be arrogant, you must have the capital to be arrogant, and if you really want to be reduced to the point of begging along the street, it is even more undignified.

"Okay! Please ask the shopkeeper Wang to introduce me, and wait for good news. Fan Hongdao no longer thought about being useless, and agreed.

But Shopkeeper Wang shook his head again, "Things are not so simple, there are still others to apply, not only you." ”

Suddenly, Fan Hongdao's arrogance came up again, a position with an annual salary of only twenty taels, and let him, a high-achieving student who can be admitted to Xiucai in his teens, compete with others?

I really can't afford to lose that person, Fan Hongdao almost took out the long sword again, and the debt owed should be paid off with the sword!

The shopkeeper Wang has a quick eye, and he pressed the sword back first, and the young man has something to say, don't move the bright sword!

It turns out that Yang Chaofeng's industry is not only a Rugui inn, but also a silk shop, a north-south grocery store and a ready-to-wear store, with a total of four shops and four shopkeepers.

Compared with other major items such as silk and miscellaneous goods, Rugui Inn is actually the smallest and most peripheral industry. Therefore, the shopkeeper Wang is also the lowest-ranking shopkeeper in the Yang family's business system, let alone compared with the position of the Yang family's steward.

But the shopkeeper Wang is not reconciled to this, and wants to go further, this time Yang Chaofeng wants to recruit a Mr. Xixi, and the shopkeeper Wang moved his mind.

Mr. Xixi, who is sitting in the museum, is going to live in Yang's house and meet the owner day and night, and Mr. Xixi is generally transcendent, if he can be used as an internal helper in the future, it must be good.

It's a pity that Shopkeeper Wang's status in the Yang family is low, and the time to know the news is too late, Yang Chaofeng will personally discuss with the candidate the day after tomorrow, and Shopkeeper Wang has just learned about it.

Besides, the shopkeeper Wang is very unfamiliar with the circle of readers, and he can't find a suitable candidate in his eagerness, so temporarily cramming to find a low-level person to recommend him will only make him more embarrassed in front of the owner.

After thinking about it, Shopkeeper Wang found that among the people he knew, only Fan Hongdao, who seemed to be a genius, had a certain combat effectiveness, and no one else looked more decent than Fan Hongdao.

"I see. Fan Hongdao suddenly realized.

According to this, the shopkeeper Wang still looks up to himself and admits that he is a talent, otherwise he would not have worked so hard to play tricks. With this premise, Fan Hongdao, whose vanity is satisfied, is very easy to speak.

As for the shopkeeper Wang, although he is stingy and stingy, his essence is not bad, and he has tolerated himself eating and drinking in the inn for a few days, which can be regarded as his benevolence and righteousness.

The eldest husband has clear grievances, even if he repays him once, he needs a place to stay anyway!

Thinking of this, Fan Hongdao said very righteously: "The shopkeeper Wang, you have something to ask for, how can you not be unreasonable in the next place? Since the shopkeeper Wang still has the mind to improve, I will help you in the next!"

Then he added a sentence in full nature: "This seat in the west of the hall will be won for you below, no matter who fights, it is just a local chicken and tile dog!"

Shopkeeper Wang wept silently in his heart, who was helping whom? Shouldn't it be Fan Hongdao who was desperate and showed him a way out?

Now that the relationship between the host and the guest has been crooked, is it true that his talent is not suitable for being a talker? Looking at the current posture, who is the dominant one?
