Chapter 20: Building Momentum (2)
After the first rhyme, the second rhyme will be updated tonight. There are still a few days left before it will be released on the 31st, and whether "Shang Yun" on the new book list can stay on it for a few more days depends on the clicks, flowers, and collection support of many brothers! )
Lu Cai also looked at Shang Yu and Lu Shaobei with playful eyes on the side, and said in his heart: "It depends on how Mr. Lu deals with this little ghost who is careless and has been in charge for two days, and he will not keep his duties!" ”
Lu Shaobei raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Shang Yu forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Ding Seventeen, you have been dismissed from the mansion by me!" How dare you come to my master to chew on the root of his tongue? How unreasonable! As he spoke, he threw a heavy punch and hit Ding XVII's nose.
After all, he is a teenager, he just took office yesterday, he was teased by Ding 17, and the five family members did not take him seriously at all, if he didn't come up with such a method, he would definitely be dragged down by the negative slacking of the five family members, and could not make the purchase of the house operate normally.
And if he hadn't successfully prepared the goods today, he would definitely be ridiculed by the family members and the stewards of the various halls, and he couldn't raise his head in the Lu Mansion, thinking of this, he punched angrily.
Ding Qiqi immediately let out a strange howl like killing a pig, "Ah! He fell to the ground with a slap of his face, and a trace of blood oozed from between his fingers, apparently caused by a wound to his nose.
As soon as Lu Cai saw that Shang Yu actually hurt someone, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly bent down to help Ding Seventeen, and raised his head to Lu Shaobei and said loudly: "Mr. Lu, look at it, this business manager dismissed Xiao Ding for no reason, and also hurt people, can you not care!" ”
Ding Qiqi has followed him for several years in the purchase of a house, and naturally he also has some feelings, saying that he beats the dog to see the master, although he is not his subordinate now, but in his eyes, Shang Yu is not serious, takes people to play, dismisses the family for no reason, and hurts people, it is simply heinous, I only hope that Lu Shaobei can uphold justice.
When Lu Shaobei saw this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he said in a deep voice with frost on his face: "Enough!" Lu Cai, you will help this family up! Xiao Yu, you go back to the house to deal with all the things in the purchase of the house, and I can handle it here. ”
Although it was a little wrong for Shang Yu to hit people, out of the psychology of protecting the short, Lu Shaobei immediately made the decision to let Shang Yu return to the Lu Mansion, and it was also necessary to clean up the families in the Lu Mansion, so he said so.
"Yes, sir!" After that punch hit Ding Seventeen in the face, Shang Yu came to his senses a little, no matter what, in the case of Zhan Li, it is always wrong to beat people, this truth is still known in his heart, he thought that Lu Shaobei would blame him, but he didn't expect to order him to go home, he saluted Lu Shaobei with some anxiety in his heart, and then walked out.
After Shang Yu went out, he heard Lu Shaobei say angrily in the room: "Lu Cai! It's all good guys you teach, and you'll be lazy all day long! If Shang Yu hadn't come up with a new way to solve the problem, you, the people who bought the house, would have ridden on his head? They came to me to complain......"
Shang Yu couldn't help but shake his head, and at this time, the junior four behind him also ran out of the room, picked up the big finger and said, "Good brother!" This punch is good, just now when you talked to me outside about this famous family, I wanted to find him and punch him a few times, this kind of thing should be hit! It turned out to be in favor of Shang Yu's punch.
Shang Yu sighed and said, "Big brother! I now know that it's really not easy to get along with people! I will go back to the inn a few more times when I have time, I have to sort out the accounts in the house today, I need to go back immediately, I can't go to the back to see my mother, I will come back tomorrow to talk to you! While talking, it seems that he is not happy after beating someone.
Xiao Si couldn't help but be stunned, but then said: "I know that I will be looked down upon on the first day I take office, and I will feel a little uncomfortable!" When your eldest brother and I became stewards half a month ago, those inn guys were also a little unconvinced, but look at them, which one inside and outside the inn is not being cleaned up by me now! ”
"Sometimes it's best to be convincing, and you don't have to leave people with no way out! Most of the family members in the Lu Mansion are homeless people, if you drive him out of the mansion, what will he live on? Although there are millions of people in the huge Spring Mansion, there are not so many idle places for the common people to choose from. ”
"If my guess is correct, Mr. will definitely let the dismissed landlord admit his mistake to you afterwards, and you can punish him appropriately, and leave him in the purchase of the house, which can subdue the hearts of the people is far better than driving people away! This is what the eldest brother has learned in the past two years in the inn, although it is not as much as what Mr. taught you, but it is definitely a good way! Xiao Si said while hugging Shang Yu's shoulders and walking outside.
Shang Yu first heard Xiao Si agree with him beating people, but then he said these words, and couldn't help but say thoughtfully: "Big brother, then you mean to let me continue to keep this person?" He was indeed a little puzzled at this time, but what Xiao Si said seemed to have some truth, if he encountered such a situation in the future, he couldn't dismiss people one by one, and then wave his fists at each other, this is not a good way to solve the problem.
"Xiao Yu! You have to see if this person has great evil, according to my guess, this person must be dissatisfied because of the replacement of the manager, or this person has the heart of the senior who wants to be in charge, if it is only these two points, this person is not a big evil, and a small punishment is acceptable! The gentleman will persuade him to plead with you, and then you will only have to do as your brother says......" Xiao Si said as he walked with a modest smile on his face.
Shang Yu's heart, which was originally slightly uncomfortable, became cheerful after walking out of the inn gate, and after saying goodbye to Xiao Si, he quickly walked towards Lu Mansion.
"Master! Do we have a senior surnamed Liu in the Iron Shirt Gate who also understands the content of the business codex? After Xiang Lan'er returned to the mansion, she immediately sent the maid aside, and went straight into a secret room in the back and asked urgently.
The middle-aged Confucian who was reading the map in the room couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xiang Lan'er's words, raised his head and said, "Lan'er, you go to Mr. Lu, can you tell him about the matter?" Why did you mention Shangdian again, did you meet anyone outside? ”
When Xiang Lan'er heard the middle-aged Confucian ask this, she immediately saluted and said: "The matter has been told to him, look at his expression, the Lu family of Quanzhou Mansion will definitely transfer the main property to other state capitals in the near future!" Master, I encountered a strange thing at Mr. Lu's place today! It also involves a content in the business dictionary, so I am in a hurry to come back and ask you! As he spoke, his tone was a little peculiar.
"What's the wonder? When it comes to the canon? The business code is divided into two halves, the upper half is in Mr. Lu's place, and the lower half is kept in our iron shirt gate, except for me knowing about this matter, only your more than 100-year-old ancestor knows! Tell me, what kind of strange thing happened to Mr. Lu? The middle-aged Confucian was also curious by Xiang Lan'er's words, and immediately asked.
Xiang Lan'er will immediately hear in Lu Shaobei's room how Shang Yu will purchase items from the purchase of houses, and how he will make the Lu family and the seven shops expand their reputation and increase their influence in the city.
Finally, he said, "...... Master! I thought about it for a long time, and then I realized that no one had thought of Shang Yu's use of the local method, which seemed simple, but it involved all aspects, especially the way to raise his reputation in the end, which was obviously the method of 'building momentum' recorded in the Shang classics. ”
"Later, when I asked Shang Yu about the source of his learning, he said that he learned it from a hidden Mr. Liu, but he refused to tell me the real name of that gentleman, saying that Mr. Liu strictly ordered Shang Yu not to say his name!"
The middle-aged Confucian didn't care about Xiang Lan'er's words at first, but after hearing it, his expression gradually became solemn, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes.
It wasn't until Xiang Lan'er finished speaking that he said in surprise: "How is it possible? Even Mr. Lu has never learned the method of building momentum in the Shang Classic, is this Shang Yu the boy in the pair of mother and son you brought back in the village slaughter incident last time, his surname is Shang? ”
"Although there are many people with the surname Shang in this world, but only the Shang ancestors can understand the Shang classics, this young man is definitely not a person, I want to go to Lu Mansion tonight to meet him!"
"As for Mr. Liu, I think it's purely his nonsense, except for the ancestor who created the Iron Shirt Gate in my family, there is no child surnamed Liu in the past dynasties, how can anyone master the Shang classics, it seems that the Shang ancestors are not as rumored to go to the sea to Nanyang, if I am not mistaken! This Shang Yu must be a descendant of Shang Zu! ”
When the middle-aged Confucian said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a murderous aura appeared like a substance.
Seeing the murderous aura in the master's eyes, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and said in her heart: "When the master said this, how could he flash murderous aura in his eyes?" Could it be that my Iron Shirt Sect has a generational hatred with the Shang Zu people? If that Shang Yu is really a descendant of Shang Zu, does the master want to kill him? If my conjecture is true, how does the hatred happen? ”
I couldn't help but think of Shang Yu's young man's face, and for no reason, my heart trembled, and I said, "Master! That Shang Yu was a native of Lijia Village, and the whole village was slaughtered by Za Kecha, leaving only his mother and son, as well as Li Si, a small steward in the inn, and his father who took the caravan to the Western Regions. Can such a family be the descendants of Shang Zu? ”
After hearing Xiang Lan'er's words, the murderous aura in the eyes of the middle-aged Confucian suddenly weakened, and he looked at Xiang Lan'er and said: "Maybe the teacher guessed wrong, if his father took the caravan to the Western Regions, with the self-respecting identity of the Shang ancestor clan, they would not choose that kind of extremely dangerous journey, maybe this young man inadvertently came up with a way to build momentum, but I still have to go in person, and I must determine his identity!" ”
After hearing the middle-aged Confucian words, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but tremble and said, "Master! Do you want to use the Soul Searching Method? She knows that if she uses the Soul Searching Dafa, she can completely tell a person everything he knows in his life, but most people who go through that method will become idiots.
Although Shang Yu has nothing to do with her, Xiang Lan'er has dared to angrily reprimand the ministers in the court since she was eight years old, and she feels that her mind is much superior to many of her peers, and no one can enter her eyes in her eyes.
Today, Shang Yu's wisdom and ability beyond her age left a deep impression on her, she has put Shang Yu on the same level as her in mind, and when she heard that the middle-aged Confucian wanted to treat Shang Yu like this, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Shang Yu.
"That's not necessary, since Shang Yu is Mr. Lu's apprentice, it's impossible for me to hurt him! He is very young and his mind is not strong, and the Dafa of Soul Searching is used on him like a knife to kill a chicken, and it only takes a small hypnotic technique to make him tell the truth! ”
"It's just Lan'er, you seem to be a little too concerned about this Shang Yu! Later, I will go to the city for a walk, you escort the city silver and two on the road as soon as possible, and then we will leave for Dadu in three days, and Emperor Hui's holy decree will soon come to summon you back!" After we arrive in Dadu, those silver taels will be robbed by someone, and they will be safely sent to Shanxi! After the middle-aged Confucian finished speaking, his body flashed, and as soon as he heard the door, his figure disappeared into the secret room where Xianglan'er was.
"Master! If you teach me martial arts, why don't you teach me? Is it just because I'm a woman that I'm not fit to practice the art of the Iron Shirt? Then there is only half of the business classics I have learned, and it turns out that Mr. Lu used the other half of the business classics, and the scenery of the business alliance is no longer there, is it because of the incompleteness of the business classics? Or is it because the Yuan court entered the Central Plains and destroyed the Jin and Song Dynasty? Xiang Lan'er thought in the secret room with many questions in her eyes, but she couldn't figure it out.
In the Lu Mansion, Shang Yu returned to the courtyard with a pair of extremely heavy iron frames on his upper body, and the four family members were busy taking out items from the warehouse and sending them to various places in the mansion.
"Hey! The master found me this dart master Luo Biqing is really harsh, and he actually asked me to carry this kind of thing, saying that when I can carry the last kind of iron frame, I can jump two feet high to be considered a small success, which is simply a crime. Shang Yu thought as he helped his shoulder, which was a little sore.
The iron frame on his body weighed at least nearly 100 catties, and Luo Biqing stipulated that he must wear this "torture device" as long as he was in the mansion, and he had to go to the guard guard for an hour every afternoon, and after he finished the account, he went to get this torture instrument back.
Luo Biqing's request to him is very simple, after ten days, he can jump two feet high with this "torture instrument" on his back, and then change to another one, and after another ten days, he must also be able to jump two feet high before he can reach the standard, and then the last one reaches 200 catties of "torture instrument" and then put it on his back, and then he can jump two feet high, and then he will carry out the next step of exercise.
"This recipe is for me, based on what I have learned, this is all heat-boosting medicine, which is very good for exercise! But I have a better idea! Shang Yu was holding a piece of paper with a prescription in his hand.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the number of square meters given by Liu Xingbao, according to that kind of formula, the effect must be several times better than Luo Biqing's, and the boiling time is much shorter.
"Is this the way to practice light exercises, and how is it different from what is in some of the books that the master has? In those books, if you take some medicine, you can fly to the sky and become a god and Buddha! The master said that it was all a legend, hey! If only the legend were true! After all, Shang Yu was in the mood of a teenager, so he rubbed his shoulders again with a grumble, pushed away the steward's room, and wanted to sit down and rest for a while.
Fang just jumped at Luo Biqing's place for an hour, and he didn't even jump half a foot, but he was scolded, but that was also a master, Shang Yu had to be patient, and he really wanted to train his body stronger, at least to meet Lu Shaobei's requirements to practice the ability to escape.
When Shang Yu pushed open the door and walked into the room, a person knelt down at his feet with a sharp cry.
"Business manager, you have a lot of them! Just spare me! You asked me to be a cow and a horse, just don't drive me out of Lufu! I know it's wrong, please! This person's face was full of tears, and his thin body grabbed the hem of Shang Yu's shirt and pleaded bitterly, looking at his expression was very sincere.
Shang Yu fixed his eyes and saw that this person had a large piece of medicinal cloth on his nose, and after careful identification, he could see that it was Ding Seventeen, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, but thinking of what Xiao Si had said to him at the Lu Inn, he forced himself to kick this person away, and immediately said: "Ding Seventeen, go outside first to help those guys deliver things, and then I will decide how to punish you later!" ”
Shang Yu said in his heart: "I can't forgive him as soon as he admits his mistake!" If he is convinced, I will have to think of a way! This Ding Seventeen is quite familiar with all the markets in the city, and it is not the best choice to drive him out to buy a house, I will not stay in the Lu Mansion for a long time, and I will have to do business by myself in the future, and I will never be a slave! It is not impossible for Ding Seventeen to be a steward in the future, it is better than Narufu to be a steward! ”
Ding Qiqi heard that Shang Yu ordered him to help other families move things, and then came back to receive the punishment, and immediately realized that Shang Yu had the intention to spare him, and couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, after he heard the way Shang Yu bought from Lu Shaobei, he was stunned there for a long time speechless, and finally knelt down and begged Lu Shaobei to give him a way to live.
Back then, he was an orphan, and was accepted into the mansion by Lu Weixuan's concubine to become a small servant, and it took many years to reach the status of buying a house, if he was driven out of the house, at most he could only be a homeless man, he was thin and weak, and no one was willing to use him even if he went to the dock to do coolies.
Lu Shaobei pointed out a way for him, asked him to come back and kneel down to beg Shang Yu, and said: "If Xiao Yu can forgive you, it means that he is kind-hearted!" I hope you can learn people in the future. ”
Now that Shang Yu said this, the resentment in Ding Seventeen's heart completely dissipated, and even forgot about the severe pain in his nose, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shang Yu and said: "Thank you for being able to ignore the previous suspicions, Seventeen will go to work immediately, and then wait for you to punish me!" ”
After speaking, he stood up, wiped a handful of tears, glanced at Shang Yu with gratitude, turned around and ran out.
"Brother Xiao Siyi is right, the master really arranged it like this, so that I have something to gain!" Shang Yu watched Ding Qiqi go out, and couldn't help muttering with a sigh.
