Zhao Wei mysteriously arranged to save Zhao Ze. He sold the guanzi and refused to disclose the details, so Zhao Xiu had no choice but to stop asking.

The first thing Zhao Wei did was to ask Liufang to send a guy who was familiar with the buying and selling of stationery supplies to take over the shop, take inventory with his own account office, and make a handover. This guy's family is in the capital, so he only needs to go to work in the shop every day, and he doesn't need to live there. The house in the backyard of the shop is still where Zhao Ze lives. Zhao Ze was relieved when he knew that someone had taken over the shop, and the whole person also settled down and cooperated with the treatment quite actively.

He really wanted to be wary of Zhao Yan, so he repeatedly urged Zhao Wei to send people. Just when that guy handed over to Lao Zhangtou and the account office of the second room, Zhao Yan came to the door when he got the news, and enthusiastically expressed his willingness to work for his brother for a few months, even if he quit the spice shop errand introduced by the Wang brothers, it didn't matter, but unfortunately the plan fell through. When he saw the account office take away the cash sealed in the store, his eyes were red, and he didn't have a good face for the guy who took over the shop, so he turned around and left.

As for whether he will complain to the Niu family again in the future and arrange Zhao Ze, no one knows.

That night, Zhao Wei quietly visited Zhao Ze and asked him to recuperate well in the shop, and it was no problem for several old servants under him to continue to work in the shop, and the wages were paid. On the other hand, he himself, because he can't work for the time being, so the Hou Mansion can give him a living allowance of one or two silver per month, and the work will be talked about after he returns to his post. Lao Zhangtou was surprised when he heard this, worried that the two pieces of silver would not be enough for Zhao Ze to treat his injury, but Zhao Wei said that the medical expenses would be calculated separately, so he reluctantly accepted it. Zhao Ze thinks this is right. If you don't do things, how can you get money? Even if it was a tael of silver for living expenses, he felt that he shouldn't have collected it. But Zhao Wei said that this is a unified benefit for the guys who work under the Hou Mansion industry. Others are the same, it is not that he is specially treated, so he doesn't mention it anymore.

However, Zhao Wei made a request, asking him to sell Lao Zhangtou and his three old servants to Zhao Qixuan's name.

At the beginning, Zhao Ze ransomed the four old servants, and the owner written on the deed of sale was his name, but now the four of them except for one of them stayed in the Wang family to listen to Niu's orders, and the other three were in the study's shop. At that time, he said that he wanted to help Zhao Ze, the little master. The wages are calculated by themselves, and the Hou Mansion doesn't care. Now that Zhao Ze is injured and unable to move, the three old servants have to stay in the shop and continue to work. There is no reason. But after all, they are familiar with the situation of the customers, and without them in the shop, there may be trouble in doing business. So it's better to leave them behind. The three old servants also felt. If you can receive a salary and support yourself, at least you don't need the little master to support the three of them in a tael of living expenses every month, and if you have extra money, maybe you can subsidize the little master a little. Therefore, after discussing it, they decided to stay in the shop and continue to work, and the three of them took shifts, and one person was selected every day to take care of the injured Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze and the three of them were very surprised by Zhao Wei's request. I don't understand why he did this, but the reason that Zhao Wei immediately explained made them speechless.

Zhao Wei thinks. Zhao Ze sold the old servants to Zhao Qixuan, and they could still work in the shop and receive wages, but Niu's, Zhao Yan and others could no longer order the old servants to do anything, and they were not qualified to ask them to contribute their wages. Otherwise, the slaves have no private property, and the master can confiscate their possessions at any time. With the greed of Niu's and Zhao Yan's mother and son, the wages they earned may be looted at any time, and they may even be transferred, and they can't stay with Zhao Wei to take care of them. But if they become Zhao Qixuan's servants, this qiē doesn't have to worry. They can only sign a living contract for a few years, and once the contract is full, they can return to the original owner, Zhao Ze. A qiē is just a stopgap measure.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ze felt that this was a good idea, although he couldn't stand his grandmother and younger siblings, but his grandmother now has people from the Wang family to wait, except for the occasional need for someone to run errands, in fact, there is no need for these old servants; Zhao Xiang is the same. As for Zhao Yan's side, the mother, son, brother and sister don't trust the old servants, and always recognize that they are Zhao Ze's henchmen, even if they are called for something, they must be some rough work that requires strength, or dirty and messy errands. Zhao Ze felt that several old people were not young, and he couldn't bear to see them suffer this kind of hardship again, so he said to Lao Zhangtou and them: "Little Hou Ye is also planning for me, Uncle Qixuan will not treat you lightly." I don't have to worry about someone selling you, so I can rest easy when I recover from my injuries. ”

They choked up and agreed.

Zhao Wei didn't let them worry for too long, and when he called Zhao Qixuan to sign the contract, he made it clear that he was a pawn rather than a buyer. The term is three years. Three years later, Zhao Ze paid to redeem the people, and the old servants were his again. Although it was a pawn and not a sale, Zhao Qixuan still gave a very generous price, which was enough for Zhao Ze to comfortably recuperate from his injuries in the first half of the year. Seeing that contract, Zhao Ze and the old servants were also relieved. Zhao Qixuan was instructed by Zhao Wei, and early the next morning, he went to the government to go to the office and implement the contract.

They went one step ahead of the rest. Because on the second day, Zhao Yan went to Wang's house to complain. While Niu knew the news of his eldest grandson's injury, he also knew that he had lost the messenger of the study's shop, and deliberately prevented the second grandson from taking over the position of shopkeeper, losing a lot of income in vain, and suddenly fainted with anger, which frightened Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yan in a panic.

When Niu finally came to his senses, he immediately ordered Zhao Yan to take her henchman Thrush to the study shop, and scolded Zhao Ze, as a punishment, to take away two of the old servants, even if they went to Wang's house to do errands with the fourth old servant, there were several hundred dollars a month, which was better than staying in the shop to do day labor. As for the injured Zhao Ze, there are people who take over the shop to take care of him anyway, and they know very well that the second and sixth rooms of the Zhao family take care of Zhao Ze, and they think that no one will take care of him.

got that the three old servants had changed their masters, Zhao Yan and Thrush had another accident, and reported it back to Niu's to know, she fainted again, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

After waking up, Niu knew that his condition was not good, and he didn't dare to move lightly. But for the eldest grandson who repeatedly broke her calculations, she only had resentment left in her heart. The old servants don't come back, but how can the pawn not hand over the money he gets? Anyway, there are people in the second and sixth rooms to take care of it. There are living expenses or something, Zhao Ze just can't starve to death, why do you want to leave such a large sum of money? In case the people in the shop have bad intentions and steal it. He can't move and can't stop him, isn't it cheaper for outsiders? So, under the instigation of the Niu family, Zhao Yan took away all the twenty taels of silver that Zhao Zedian had received from the three old servants.

He only handed over fifteen taels, claiming that the missing five taels were used by Zhao Ze asking the doctor to take medicine. Niu thought that Zhao Zehua had spent a lot, and after scolding a few more words, he felt that his eyes were black. Hurriedly stopped asking, and only told his granddaughter to put away the silver.

After this change, Zhao Ze only felt a chill in his heart. And Lao Zhangtou is more fortunate for them. In any case, several old servants are now willing to believe in the new master and Zhao Wei. With this foundation, when Zhao Xiang sent an old servant to inquire about Zhao Ze's injury, they obeyed Zhao Wei and Zhao Qixuan's instructions. exaggerated Zhao Ze's injury. To put it bluntly, the speed of recovery is also extremely slow, and it is almost impossible to move the body, and it is even more impossible to go to see the grandmother cow, even if it is carried on a stretcher, it will aggravate the injury. They also said that he had a seizure, and even if his injuries were healed, the bottom of his body was hollowed out. Even if he spends a lot of money on tonic medicine to replenish him, his lifespan will not be long. I'm afraid it's going to be tough on the heirs.

The old servants didn't understand the intention of Zhao Wei's order, but the Niu family didn't send anyone to pass Zhao Ze to see her, which was probably the effect of this statement. They were very satisfied, and they exaggerated Zhao Ze's injury more and more in front of the companion who had been stationed in Wang's house for a long time. It's not that they don't trust this companion, but in the long-term separation, they unexpectedly found that this companion has been emotionally biased towards the Wang family, as if they can't wait for the main family to stay in the Wang family forever, and they, strictly speaking, are already Zhao Qixuan's servants. They are no longer a group, and their intimacy and ideas have naturally changed.

In this way, Niu and Zhao Xiang's understanding of Zhao Ze's injury was gradually fixed in the impression that "the injury was serious and difficult to treat", and Niu thought that his body was really useless. Thinking of the situation when he only had half his life left after being beaten, this matter is really credible. And if this grandson is really "difficult to have an heir", it seems that he has lost the meaning of saving zài. Niu began to worry about whether he would be able to get back the right to operate the study shop after he recovered from his injury. Hearing that the shop is doing very well now, and the guy who took over is doing even better than Zhao Ze, she beat a drum in her heart. If he can't be the shopkeeper of the shop again, then where will Zhao Ze find an errand with the same lucrative income as this one? Bailing, the big girl next to her, muttered a few words in her ear from time to time, and she gradually gave birth to a thought: This grandson may be useless.

At this time, Zhao Qixuan came to Yongguang Temple West Street and found Zhao Yan and Aunt Xiaoqian. His purpose is very simple, he wants Zhao Yan to help convince Niu to sign a document and sell Zhao Ze to him Zhao Qixuan as an adopted son, and from then on sever the kinship, regardless of the birth, old age, sickness and death of the two parties, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Zhao Yan and Aunt Xiaoqian were stunned, they never expected Zhao Qixuan to make such a request. Zhao Yan asked tentatively: "Is this a ...... Is it the meaning of the Hou Mansion? ”

Zhao Qixuan shook his head: "This is what I mean, before the matter is completed, I hope you don't talk to anyone in the Hou Mansion." If the old lady knew in advance and blamed her, I would not be able to confess. ”

Zhao Yan's face was full of disbelief, and Aunt Xiaoqian was also confused: "What does this mean?" ”

Zhao Qixuan explained to them: "The old lady of the Hou Mansion cherishes Brother Ze very much, but the little Hou Ye doesn't treat him very well, but the old lady can't help but feel sorry for the child. She heard that the Niu family always beat and scolded Brother Ze, so she was in a hurry. ”

Zhao Yan and Aunt Xiao Qian glanced at each other uncomfortably, and looked away with some weakness.

Zhao Qixuan only pretended not to see it, and continued: "But your first room has already left the clan, even if you can't use the Zhao family, she can't use her mother-in-law's name to suppress the Niu family, and the Niu family won't listen to her." As for the little marquis, although it can be hinted at the Wang family's interference, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the people in your room. Don't look at him now, he is young, but he has great ambitions, and he wants to be a great minister in the future. With his rescue efforts, as well as today's holy family, it is not impossible, and even if it is not good, it can be a high-ranking official. He didn't want to have anything to do with the family of the convict. If it weren't for the old lady's insistence again and again, he might have secretly driven your family out of the capital. Don't underestimate him, with his current status, he can do it. ”

Of course, Zhao Yan will not underestimate Jiannanhou, when he was the son of a six-rank military attache in the past, relying on the relationship between Yingwangfu and the crutches, there was a way to drive a few helpless civilians out of the capital, not to mention the dignified Jiannanhou? He had long felt that Zhao Wei actually allowed their family to live peacefully in the capital, and even gave a shop to Zhao Ze to operate, which was simply a living bodhisattva. If this is all Zhang's meaning, not Zhao Wei's original intention, he also believes it. Aunt Xiao Qian mentioned it to him many times, saying that the old lady Zhang is the most soft-hearted, he can rest assured that he will come to the door to entangle, even if he can't get anything, Zhang will not beat him and scold him, even if he doesn't wait to see him again, when he is sent away, he will give a few taels of silver, he is a person who can't be coaxed.

Zhao Yan asked Zhao Qixuan: "Does the old lady pity my brother, and does the little marquis treat him, what does it have to do with me?" Uncle came to the door today, why did he come? ”

Zhao Qixuan showed a smile: "Isn't this simple?" There are now two or three shops in the Hou Mansion that I take care of, but why not only these two or three shops in the Hou Mansion? One more is one more profit. I consider myself a capable person. Those who can work harder. But whether I can work more depends on whether the little marquis is willing to do it. He has always been troubled by the old lady's pity for Zhao Ze, and it is difficult to dismiss the elders. What if I could solve this problem for him? Will he ...... Trust me a little more? ”

Zhao Yan, as a little shrewd person, understood in an instant, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart. It's a pity that Zhao Qixuan did this kind of thing, but he couldn't do it, so he could only envy and hate in vain.

He simply got straight to the point: "Uncle opened his mouth, and it's not that he can't help as a nephew." But Zhao Ze is my brother after all, I have no reason, why should I help you harm him? ”

Zhao Qixuan spread his hands: "Which one is going to hurt him?" If I get better in the future, I will stay there and be the shopkeeper of a small shop, marry a wife and have children, and I will no longer be tortured by people like Niu, and I will no longer let the old lady worry and let the little marquis worry. If his life is not good, he will die in less than two years, and the old lady will not have to worry about him. We will take care of the aftermath for him, and let him go to the ground in style. ”

He approached Zhao Yan, lowered his voice, and smiled: "Good nephew, don't worry, uncle won't let you do it in vain." As soon as this contract is signed, I will pay Niu 100 taels of silver, and you will pay 100 taels, plus the title deed of 40 acres of paddy fields in Fengxian's hometown, how about it? Today's land price is not low, forty acres of land, two or three hundred taels of silver can not be taken. After this village, there is no such shop. ”

Zhao Yan's heart beat violently. (To be continued......)
