Section 271 Accidental, above
Judging from the repeated stupidity of the innkeeper, he will betray his guests at any time, and it may not be very safe here.
Fan Tianxi asked the little girl to continue to sleep habitually with the old Jiang couple to take care of her. He slept with his son. Little Jiang Ji is in a separate room next door. The three men all slept with their clothes and pillows and knives.
Zhao Yue asked the servants of the Wang family to carry the money compensated to the Fan family to his side, also to reduce the risk of the Fan family tonight.
As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. The Wang family usually won't come to retaliate tonight. But it is inevitable that there will be people who are eyeing and calculating this large sum of money.
The Fan family rested peacefully. Zhao Yue went downstairs to the backyard stables to see the horses.
The world has mixed opinions about Zhao Yue, but there is a common theory that Zhao Yue is fierce and domineering. But he didn't know that whether in his previous life or in this life, Zhao Yue was an extremely nostalgic person, and he would have strong feelings for any living creature after spending a long time together.
There are two sides to human beings. The stronger a person is on the outside, the more likely it is that deep down he will hide a weakness that can be broken at the slightest point.
In his previous life, Zhao Yue had an ordinary dog at home and accompanied Zhao Yue through his childhood, and when he died of old age, Zhao Yue was sad for a long time.
In this life, his heart is lonely and cold, even his mother who knows him best does not know, but he is especially afraid of this kind of harm under the hard shell of his young son.
Therefore, Zhao Yue attaches great importance to his relatives, friends and neighbors, but he never gets close to pets, and even BMW is not specially equipped.
He couldn't imagine what kind of blow would be done to him if BMW, who had been with him for a long time, died in front of him due to war or some reason.
This time I was in a hurry, and BMW borrowed Li Zhu.
The red BMW is human, and it is very loved by Li Zhu. This trip has been hard work and great success. Zhao Yue naturally had to take care of it.
Approaching the stable, Zhao Yue suddenly stopped.
He has night vision. His eyesight was superman, and he saw a lamp hanging in front of the BMW. There was a person standing in the dim light, but it was the shopkeeper who warmly received him.
Xiao Er is not doing bad things, but feeding horses that are not his job.
He sprinkled bean cakes into the manger for BMW to enjoy happily, and muttered in a very low voice: "Horse, horse, although I don't have much knowledge, I also know that you are a good horse." I also know that although you are tired of carrying people, you live a solid and happy life. I don't know how many times stronger than my days. You have a good master, you don't have to worry about anything. Don't worry about anything, just be obedient and work. ”
"I can't. Without your blessing, without your spirit, there is no one to serve. ”
"I sleep in the middle of the night in five winters and six summers, I have endless work every day, I can't listen to endless insults, I can't eat well, I can't wear, I can't make a few dollars desperately, and sometimes I have to be beaten and punished by all kinds of hardships. I really can't stand it anymore, I don't want to do it anymore. But I still have to do it. Gotta live! I don't want to suffer, and the thought of not doing it has to be pinched again and again. ”
"But, after tonight, my dream of not doing anything will come true. I brought in your master. Your master has taught the dog officer a commanding lesson. Tomorrow will leave majestically. The mean shopkeeper will definitely take out his anger at me and punish me for currying favor with the dog officer. No one here would dare to work with me. I'm going to starve to death. It's good to be dead, liberated. No more suffering, no more fear......"
"I'm in trouble because of your master. will die. Do you know why I came to entertain you? ”
"I tell you, I don't hate your master. I only envy your master who can teach the dog officer and the shopkeeper. Your master has fulfilled my dream on my behalf. ”
Xiao Er muttered. Revealing a cry, tears flowed down his face, and he choked up and said: "Your master is so fierce, but he is a good person, different from those dignitaries." I've been doing it here for seven or eight years, and your master has rewarded hundreds of dollars, and it's the first time for me. ”
"You're a horse, I don't know. The richer and more powerful you are, the more you slam the door. I can't rely on power to do anything without spending money, and I still want to find money for them.......Hey, I'm annoying you, right? I'm crazy too. You're a horse, why am I telling you this? ”
Zhao Yue's senses are keen and he can hear clearly.
He coughed, so startled that Xiao Er immediately turned his head to check, and when he saw that it was Zhao Yue, his professional smile immediately piled up on his face.
"The big officials came to see the horses? Rest assured. I am very particular about my work, and I will take care of it. ”
He added sadly in his heart: "After tonight, I don't have to serve anything anymore." ”
Zhao Yue smiled gently and asked, "Take care of you, what's your name?" ”
Xiao Er was stunned and said: "My father didn't give me a big name, I work here, and I named Zhang Cheng." ”
Zhao Yue snorted, smiled and reached out to touch the face of the horse that the psychic BMW stretched out affectionately, as if asking casually: "Who else is in your family?" ”
At the mention of this, Xiao Er's expression became even more gloomy, and he said in a low voice after a while: "Father and mother are alive." has a younger sister named Zhang Xiaohua, who is thirteen years old and very good-looking. There is also a younger brother named Zhang Rong, who is very smart. ”
Zhao Yue smiled casually again, scratched the horse's face and asked with a casual smile: "Both parents are complete." The younger siblings are outstanding. You yourself are working in the city to learn skills, and you are also smart and clever, and you will open your own shop and business in the future. In this way, your family should be happy, right? ”
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, and only said: "Thank you for the good words of the official." ”
Zhao Yue sighed, "What?" Is your family not doing well? ”
Zhang Cheng hesitated for a while, then put on a professional smile and said, "What happy days can people like us have?" I won't talk about those little things, so as not to spoil the mood of the big officials tonight. ”
"It doesn't matter. Let's gossip. You just say it. I'll listen to it casually. ”
Zhang Cheng sprinkled all the remaining bean cakes in his hand in the trough, his face was still smiling, but his eyes showed desolation and despair.
"I, my family, there are only two acres of thin fields. My younger brother and sister are still young and can't do anything. Nowadays, the taxes and labor are getting heavier and heavier every year. The rent of the land has also risen unbearably. In the past, I rented eight acres of land from the landlord, and my father and mother worked tirelessly for a year, and with wild vegetables, they could barely make ends meet. Not anymore. I can't afford to rent land. My work here matters. The whole family is counting on me to earn money to survive. ”
Zhao Yue snorted and asked, "It's hard to live here, why don't you go to Cangzhou to work?" ”
Zhang Chengyi sighed: "I thought about it." But if you don't have any money, what will you take? Begging for food, my brother and sister will starve to death. ”
"I heard from merchants from the south to the north that the big officials have not had a good time in the past few years. Cangzhou's business has also shrunk greatly, and it is not as prosperous as before. Cangzhou locals can't use it. My family only knows a few words, and I can only farm, how can I find a job when I go? The government is now also grasping it tightly, and people like my family who dare to leave their hometowns to work are going to be used as fugitives to fill the army. ”
Zhao Yue sighed when he heard this.
The ruthlessness of the ruling class lies in the fact that it does not allow you to live well in your homeland, nor does it allow you to leave your homeland to survive.
He patted Xiao Er's thin and thin shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Are you willing to follow me?" ”
Xiao Er was completely stunned this time, and his professional smile couldn't be maintained at all, and it took a long time before he said, "The big official is laughing." I won't know anything. What's the use of the big officials wanting me to drag on like this? ”
Zhao Yue shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't see it that way. I think you have a great flair for business. At the very least, you smile sweeter than anyone else. ”
Then he changed his serious appearance and said: "Being able to laugh is also a skill." You're not limited to that. Why have low self-esteem? ”
"You, you, do you mean it really?"
The shopkeeper was blinded, and he even forgot to use the honorific title of a big official.
Zhao Yue didn't know whether Zhang Cheng was asking whether to use him or praise him for his ability, which was true, but he smiled and said with certainty: "Of course." ”
The shopkeeper muttered, "I also have the ability?" Can I also follow the son of the Cangzhao family? ”
Zhao Yue smiled and directly affirmed: "If you are suitable for business, then you will work in my family's business department." Your parents are industrious, so they do the work of hard work and prosperity. Your younger siblings are smart and outstanding, so study hard and learn useful skills. As long as you work hard, why worry about underdevelopment? ”
The shopkeeper woke up from sleepwalking, knocked his head down, and wanted to express his gratitude, but he cried so much that he couldn't speak.
Zhao Yue didn't stop him from kowtowing.
He knew that the simplicity of the people was different from the simplicity of the officials. Kowtowing can make Zhang Cheng believe that this is true.
Stopping Zhang Cheng from knocking again and pulling him up, Zhao Yue asked in a low voice, "Zhang Cheng, will you catch the carriage?" ”
Zhang Cheng nodded, a little excited and at a loss: "I will also order mules and cows." It's a little bit to catch a car. ”
"That's good."
Zhao Yue regained his smile and said in a low voice: "Find me tomorrow morning to get money, and quietly go to the market to buy a wide and good sedan car, the kind that can drive your family, it must be solid." We still have a long way to go. You can't just break it down the road. ”
Zhang Cheng hummed excitedly.
"Of course, the mule should also pick the young and strong ones. Also buy a few good outfits for yourself and your family. Cotton gloves should be especially warm. Otherwise, if you walk in the wild for a long time, you will not be able to stand the cold. Oh, and buy a bed for the quilt in the car. Don't be reluctant to spend money. ”
"Hmm." Zhang Cheng nodded heavier, and his eyes were wet again.
"And wow, tell your father, mother, in addition to the money that is convenient to bring, don't bring other food, clothes, and quilts at home, and even give the house and that little land to people who are kind to you. Everything is with me on the way. When you get to Cangzhou, everything will be there. ”
…….
The next day, Zhao Yue and Fan Tianxi's family set off on their journey.
There was no compensation for the damage caused by the fight. Zhao Yue didn't even pay for room and board. The innkeeper didn't ask for it, and sent it with a smile.
According to the common things of this era, a prince and noble person of Zhao Yue's level was threatened by his life in the inn, even if he was frightened and did not live well, a lowly businessman had to not only bear all the expenses, but also apologize and even lose a lot of money.
Otherwise, this business would not want to exist.
If the corrupt officials don't take the opportunity to pounce on the wronged and frightened son-in-law and brother to ask for the guilt, they will not stop if they don't ruin the family and sink their grievances into the sea.
Zhao Yue is the enemy of Wang Zhi County, and the county government will do this more and more. If you make a fortune yourself, you can still make Zhao Yue's reputation stink. Why not? (To be continued.) )
