To be honest, if Steward Mao really smashed down a hundred taels, maybe he would really be able to smash Gu Lao's shopkeeper to the ground.

Because the old shopkeeper Gu is here after all, he can't work for a few years. Although Muzhaotang has improved, it is still unknown how long it can last, and a large sum of silver from Baihuahua is safe.

If the expected returns are about the same, of course, choose the safe one.

In business, whether it is Gu Lao's shopkeeper or Gu Si and others, they still have to support their families, at least at this stage, they can't talk about Xia Xiaodong's deep personal relationship or so-called loyalty.

What's more, everything has a price, including loyalty itself.

But now the Mao steward only offers a price of 20 taels, which is just the same as the fixed annual salary given by Xia Xiaodong, and the income of Gu Lao's shopkeeper also has a commission on annual sales.

In this way, twenty taels is of course completely unattractive. persuaded Gu Si away, who will work in Mu Zhaotang? Let the old shopkeeper Gu sit and eat these twenty taels?

However, Gu Lao's shopkeeper is old and refined, and he will not refuse in person, but with a smile on his face, he got up and said, "I'll go to the back and take a look, and then pull Gu Si out." ”

If Gu Si has a crooked mind and wants to change jobs, then twenty taels should not be in vain.

Steward Mao only acted as Gu Lao's shopkeeper, which meant that he was willing to help himself, so he dragged a chair and sat down, dangling Erlang's legs, thinking about how to negotiate conditions with Gu Si.

Well, Gu Lao's shopkeeper has already fallen a difference of eighty taels, Gu Si is there, and then he will be deducted and deducted, this year, it is really fat.

……

……

When Gu Lao's shopkeeper went to the backyard, he found that Gu Si had completely forgotten about the Mao steward, and was discussing with his daughter-in-law whether to eat sweet and sour pork ribs or braised elbows at night.

Gu Si's daughter-in-law understood better than Gu Si, and Gu Lao's shopkeeper did not avoid her, and explained the intention of the Mao steward in a few words.

"Anyway, you're going to have to deal with him." After Gu Lao's shopkeeper finished speaking, he gave Gu Si an ambiguous simple construction.

As for how to deal with it, of course, it depends on Gu Si himself.

Gu Si turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law.

He only cares about having a place to hone his wood craft.

"Delay it for a while, let him go, don't give him permission to speak." Gu Si's daughter-in-law was not ambiguous at all: "For a family like the Lu family, any master stretches out his finger and crushes us flat." None of us can afford to offend, so let the old club fight the new club. ”

"Good!" For Gu Si, the daughter-in-law's words were better than the holy decree, and she immediately agreed neatly.

……

……

"What? You are a big man, you can't make your own decisions, you have to wait for your daughter-in-law to come back to discuss?! Steward Mao listened to Gu Si's reason and felt quite incredible.

"Hmm!" Gu Si's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "My daughter-in-law helps cook at someone else's house, and she can't leave until she finishes the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." I'll pick her up then. ”

Gu Si just didn't say that his daughter-in-law had a holiday today.

Steward Mao only felt that one head and two were big. I thought it wasn't difficult, but why did I have to make a moth out of Rory's way, and it seems that it will not be implemented until the next year.

There are also those who are afraid that their wives are so upright and upright.

However, looking at Gu Si's appearance of only scratching his head, it is not difficult to understand.

The Mao steward is out of the way. The cow doesn't drink water and presses his head, and people even admit that they are afraid of their wives, what else can they do?

"In this way, I'll tell you the conditions first, and you can discuss it with your daughter-in-law when you go back." Steward Mao frowned, put down his cocked Erlang's legs, stood up and said, "No matter how much you get now, after you pass, it will be doubled." But you have to sign a ten-year long contract. If we want to supply the silver here, we will naturally pay for it. ”

"Well...... and, uh-," Steward Mao finally gave eighty taels according to the standard of Gu Lao's shopkeeper, and proposed additional compensation: "Twenty taels of settling-in expenses." You can't live here anymore and have to move to Giethoorn Street, so that's why you have this money. ”

Gu Si wrenched his fingers and wrote: "Well, twenty taels of settling-in allowance, twice the salary, and a ten-year long contract." ”

The reason why he wanted to sign a long deed, in addition to locking up Gu Si, also made it difficult for him to hide his secrets - if he hid any longer, he would be too old and would have no strength to do it.

In addition, the longer the duration of the deed, the more compensation money needs to be paid if you leave in default.

"Well...... maybe the new owner will be willing to give as much." After wrenching his fingers, Gu Si said thoughtfully, turning around and going back.

This man wasn't stupid.

"Hey, hey," Steward Mao hurriedly stopped him: "Do you understand, no matter how much the new owner gives, we will give double shares, double shares!" ”

Gu Si's face was full of ignorance, and he reached out to scratch his head again, seeing that the Mao steward couldn't wait to pull his hand off.

"Then if the new owner says the same......" Gu Si scratched his head for a while, put down his hand, and began to count his fingers again: "Double here, double that side, then double this side, double that side......"

There are not enough fingers.

You really think that you are some kind of peerless treasure, which is worth doubling the interaction between the two sides. Steward Mao felt that he was about to vomit blood.

"You'd better discuss it with your daughter-in-law." If it weren't for the difference between men and women and Gu Si's claim that his daughter-in-law hadn't come back yet, Steward Mao would have been eager to go directly to the backyard and talk to Gu Si's daughter-in-law.

……

……

After the blessing of Xuanyuan Daoist, the overall atmosphere obviously changed to a cheerful wind.

After Xuanyuan Dao Chang made a trip to the palace, the situation became better and better. The word 'Fu' written by the emperor himself in black letters on a red background was sent to the homes of the ministers from the small yellow door. A pair of palace maids came out of the Beiding Gate, passed the queen's dictation everywhere, and invited the internal and external women to enter the palace on the first day of the new year.

With the signal in the palace, the major mansions immediately became lively. There is also joy, laughter also comes, the blessing word of the royal gift is pasted in the middle hall, and the peace charm that has arrived is hung at the door, so that it is peaceful and peaceful.

As for the old prince and the county lord of Anning, who were confined within the high walls, they had already been thrown out of the clouds.

The Lu family had already prepared for both lively and low-key preparations, and took the lead in creating a strong festive atmosphere without any chaos, and began to implement the arrangements for the first day of the new year.

The first day of junior high school is a very busy day.

Everything that should have been done on the first day of the Lunar New Year has to be adjusted backwards, because the male and female masters are not there.

Although they don't want real power, most of the men of the Lu family have large and small titles or false positions on their heads, and on the first day of the new year, anyone who can be called 'master' or above in the mansion must go to the Palace of Eternal Life to participate in the grand court meeting.

All wives who have an ordained decree must enter the palace on the first day of the new year to attend the palace banquet.

Whether it is a court meeting or a palace banquet, it is an occasion for you to participate in it and give you face. It's a pity that at the end of the day, not only can I not eat enough, but most of the time I have to blow the cold wind and freeze enough.
