Zhao Wei came to Zhao Qixuan and told him about it. Zhao Qixuan applauded when he heard it: "This really saves a lot of trouble." If I really let their brothers come to the shop to be buddies, I will still beat the drums in my heart. They said that they were from the clan, but in fact they had already left the clan, and they were clearly outsiders. But if you treat it like an outsider, it's not appropriate. If you treat them too harshly, it will inevitably hurt the relationship between the old days and Ze Ge'er, and if you are too lenient to them, they may not be able to work hard, and in the eyes of other guys, it will be a matter of right and wrong. No matter how much wages there are, it is not easy to do. Originally, he was asked to come because he wanted to take care of Brother Ze'er, and the salary must not be less, and he still has a large family at home. But if you give too much, what will others think in their hearts? I originally thought that I would arrange for Ze Ge'er to go to the tea shop to be a young man who inspected the goods, and since my uncle and grandmother said that they would take care of their brother's shop, I was also relieved. ”

Zhao Wei smiled and said to him: "Don't let go too early with your breath, their brothers are still young, and they were pampered and raised up, how do you know how to do business?" Naturally, you need to send someone to teach. The shop is indeed more expensive, but it is also a business, and it must always be able to make money, otherwise it will be difficult for the shop to continue for a long time. You go to Zhao Ze first, tell him about the matter, and let him know that this is asking him to do things for our family, don't think that he is giving him charity, if he can't earn money, he will also give me the hell. Besides, the shop is not his, the store is still owned by the Hou Mansion, and if you ask for goods, you must also pay for it, and you are not allowed to owe it on credit. Whether he can sell things and how much he can earn depends on his own ability. He's not stupid either, just think about it. Will definitely say yes. When he nodded, Zhao Yan was willing to refuse, and I didn't care. Tell the people below to go outside to set up a small shop, it doesn't have to be too big, it's best to have a place to live in people, but not too many people. In this way, Zhao Ze can leave his grandmother in the future and bring an old servant to live in the past, and his life can be easier. ”

Zhao Qixuan stroked his palm and praised after listening: "Brother Wei is thoughtful. His family lives in the outer city, and if the shop is in the inner city. Far away, it is troublesome to go back and forth every day, and it is logical for Ze Geer to live in the shop. The shop is small. If the old lady of his family refuses to give in, his grandparents and grandchildren will be able to live separately. Even if the Niu family wants to be greedy for the silver in the store, we sell him the goods, and the amount is more or less accountable. How much does it cost. We also know in our hearts, if the account is not matched, Ze Ge'er will have to lose money, and the same is to take money from Niu's pocket, and she will not agree if she thinks about it. I also have an idea, since the Hou Mansion has come out of the store, and the capital of one hundred taels has been paid, and the first batch of goods to be sold. The payment for the goods should also be deducted from the hundred taels of silver, and the store should be rectified, tea and wine should be opened, and men should be hired. It's all counted. When the account is returned in the next year, no matter how much profit is, the capital of this hundred taels must be repaid first, and then the reward will be said. Zhao Ze has a salary of five taels of silver every month, which is enough for him, even if there is no reward in the new year, he will not starve to death. lest the Niu family take a hundred taels, and they hold it in their hands and refuse to take it out, thinking that the silver given by the Hou Mansion is to supplement her for nothing. ”

Zhao Wei smiled and nodded: "This plan is very good, so let's do it." ”

Two days later, Zhao Qixuan found a vacancy, so he took a long entourage, bought some fruit cakes, and took a carriage to Zhang Shanjia Hutong in the outer city to find Zhao Ze. When he arrived, Niu was counting Zhao Ze loudly in the house, and Zhao Ze knelt in the courtyard with his head down to listen to her count.

Zhao Yan leaned against the door of his room, crossed his arms and looked at Zhao Ze's appearance, neither opening his mouth nor helping him speak. But his sister Zhao Man, who was standing beside him, said to her brother with a smug face: "I know that he can't even compare to half of his brother." My brother has been able to earn money back, and he is still eating rice at home. Cheng Tian said that he was going to go out to find an errand, but he didn't find it, I don't know if it was pretended, but in fact, I went out to play every day. ”

Zhao Yan glanced at his sister: "Have you boiled your aunt's medicine?" This is a medicine that a famous doctor is asked to prescribe, and I must let my aunt drink it without a drop, you know? ”

Zhao Man disagreed: "I know, even if I don't say it, my aunt will still drink the medicine." After finishing speaking, he walked to the kitchen, and when he looked up and saw Zhao Qixuan standing at the outer door, he tilted his head and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Qixuan smiled: "You are Sister Man, right?" I'm Zhao Qixuan from the sixth room, I hugged you when you were a child, don't you remember me? ”

Zhao Man's face turned red, and he stomped his feet and said, "Where did you come from, bastard, you dare to say something unclean to tease me?!" ”

Zhao Qixuan smiled dumbly, Zhao Jue's branch has rarely interacted with the clansmen, but even if he is a stranger, he should know the existence of the clansmen, right? He had already clearly said that he was a person from the sixth room, and Zhao Man hadn't even remembered who he was. Back then, the Niu family and Zhao Jue sent Zhao Ze back to their hometown, and Zhao Man didn't think about who else was in their hometown except for the second room? actually said that his uncle teased her, and he didn't look at how old he was.

Zhao Man didn't know who Zhao Qixuan was, but Zhao Ze was clear. He hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Why is Uncle Qixuan here?" It turns out that this time it was you who went to Beijing. Zhao Qixuan said with a smile: "That's right, I will live in the capital for a long time in the future, we have the opportunity to deal with each other." ”

Zhao Ze was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Zhao Man: "Sister must not be rude, this is the uncle of the sixth room." When I was recuperating from my injuries in my hometown, I had to be taken care of by Uncle Qixuan. ”

Zhao Man blushed, gave a blessing to Zhao Qixuan, and said vaguely: "Uncle is good." Then he turned around and ran into the kitchen.

Zhao Qixuan didn't care, just looked Zhao Ze up and down: "When you left Fengxian with your uncle and grandmother, you clearly looked much better, why are you so haggard now?" I heard in the second room that you were injured, and now you are well? ”

Zhao Zezhi was hesitant, Zhao Yan reacted to Zhao Qixuan's identity, and thought of the incident he said when he went to the second room before, and knew that this must be the shopkeeper candidate who opened a shop in Beijing in the second room, but he didn't expect to be familiar with Zhao Ze, no wonder he would ask Zhao Ze to be a buddy. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he greeted him enthusiastically: "It turned out to be the uncle of the sixth room, please sit in the room." I went to greet my great-grandmother and uncle, and when I heard that you had come to the capital, I have always wanted to see you. Unfortunately, you are not at home. ”

Zhao Qixuan smiled: "I don't live in the second room, and the family has now rented a yard on Gulou Xiejie." You go to the second room, if you don't happen to bump into it. You can't see me. "If Zhao Yan really planned to see him, it would be impossible for the people in the second room not to talk about it.

Zhao Yan was exposed as a lie, he was still young, his face was still thin, and his face turned red. But he quickly recovered and continued to laugh: "I see, I didn't inquire clearly. Invite the house for tea. Eldest brother. Grandmother is calling you, so leave it to me, uncle. ”

Zhao Ze actually understood what Zhao Yan wanted to do, but the Niu family was indeed calling him. had to hand over Zhao Qixuan to Zhao Yan, and he entered the main room.

Niu had already heard the movement outside: "Who is here?" Six-room? Who is in the sixth room? Is it Zhao Hui? ”

Zhao Ze replied: "No, Uncle Hui is the head of the six-room family, and the family has a big business." How did you come to Beijing? It's Uncle Qixuan of the side branch. He is now taking care of a few shops for the second room. ”

Niu Shi recalled it carefully, and then remembered that it was the former loser of Liufang, she didn't take this person in her eyes at that time, and now she doesn't even forget what he looks like, she only remembers that his wife once followed the concubines to the door to slap her. She said disapprerovingly, "He has come to tell you about the messenger?" Since you know him well, tell him that you need to be fat, and you must pay more. You're different from the guy next to you. It is a serious Zhao family's bloodline, and it can't be like others. I get that little salary a month. If this errand is good, you can also earn some money for your family, and you don't have to eat rice. If you encounter a good time, it is also very easy to add some private money to yourself. Saying that, she was so jealous in her heart that she couldn't do it, the sixth room did business, and she accumulated a lot of net worth, and the little second room is now also a rich man, how could this shopkeeper's good errand fall on the head of a loser? If she were a housekeeper, she would never make such a mistake!

Zhao Ze retreated expressionlessly, took a few deep breaths outside the door, and then turned to the living room.

Zhao Yanzheng is desperately trying to sell himself to Zhao Qixuan. He still has some capital. Since he picked up his biological mother and came back, his grandmother didn't care, his savings were spent, and his biological mother was watching, and he couldn't ask Zhao Ze for silver like before, so he could only go out to earn money by himself. He doesn't want any cheekiness now, so he goes to find those classmates in the past, looking for good friends, or thin-skinned, and there are also bad homework who are always punished by his husband. He helped them with their homework, copied books, ghostwritten articles and poems, escorted them, and occasionally made a cameo appearance as a punching bag. Although he suffered a lot of grievances, the children of those rich and noble families were generous, he could earn at least a few hundred dollars a day, and there were two or three taels more, and he only paid a small amount to the Niu family, and the rest were secretly hidden as private money. Seeing his wallet bulging day by day, he felt much more relieved, which was all thanks to his ability to speak well. Zhao Qixuan opened a shop to do business, doesn't he also need someone who can speak well?

But Zhao Qixuan has always been indifferent to him, and did not directly admit it, and only when Zhao Ze came did he say what Zhao Wei meant, and then said, "You guys should think about it." The oil and water of the study shop are limited, but the supply is not worried, and it is produced in the south, and it has always been popular in the capital; Second, this kind of business is more decent than selling rice and noodles; Third, you are the shopkeeper by yourself, you don't have to be angry with others, you make a lot of money, and there are dividends. Besides, the monthly salary of five taels of silver is enough for the family to eat and wear. If you don't know how to do business, I will send someone to teach you. As long as you are willing to put your heart into it, you will always be able to live a prosperous and stable life in the future. ”

As soon as Zhao Yan heard that the monthly money was only five taels, he retreated in his heart. He can earn more than this in ten days and a half months now, and he can still put five taels of silver in his eyes? Besides, he originally planned to leave the family with his mother's siblings when his biological mother was well, how could he tie himself up in a shop? If the second room is given to the façade and another 100 taels of silver, he can still make up his mind, but unfortunately the façade deed can't fall into their hands, and the 100 taels don't have to be repaid if they are borrowed, but also used for trivial matters such as opening a shop and getting goods, he might as well continue to earn money from his old classmates.

But Zhao Ze was a little tempted. After failing to find a job for several days, he also understood his shortcomings. Although he is literate in reading, he is not very good at writing, he is young, his strength is insufficient, his face is thin, his mouth is stupid, where is it better than others who can speak and be likable? If he can get the errand of this study shop, it is still second to be able to live a stable life, at least, he will also be able to contribute to the second room......

Zhao Ze thought of Niu's words again, if he took over a study shop to do it, according to the arrangement of the second room, the oil and water would be limited, and his grandmother must not be able to hit the idea of filling her own pocket, right? He nodded solemnly to Zhao Qixuan: "I am willing to do it, and I will ask Uncle Clan to teach me more in the future." ”

Zhao Qixuan smiled with satisfaction and looked at Zhao Yan again. Zhao Yan said hesitantly: "My aunt is still sick, I don't worry about her being at home alone, let's wait for my aunt to get better." Zhao Qixuan didn't say much, gave a few instructions, made an appointment with Zhao Ze to meet again, and then said goodbye and left.

When he went out, Niu scolded Sang in the house, saying that some people from other places just don't know how to know etiquette as well as people in Beijing, and they don't come to ask for peace when they see their elders, and so on. Zhao Qixuan knew that he was talking about himself, but what if the Niu family was once his elder? Zhao Jue came out of the clan, even his son Zhao Jiong, who is his elder?

He got into the carriage with his legs up, and then departed with grace. The carriage crossed the alley, turned into Qianmen Avenue, and was about to head to the inner city.

Suddenly, he rode from a distance, shouting all the way into the city in a hurry, and was still shouting: "Liaodong victory!" Liaodong victory! General Fan Benzhang led his troops to defeat the Qing army, captured four enemy generals, and won a great victory in Liaodong! ”

Zhao Qixuan hurriedly got out of the car window, but unfortunately he only had time to see the back of the knight galloping into the city gate. (To be continued......)
