Chapter 12 Qin Mu is leaving
After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Qin Mu found Ren Xiaoxiao.
Ren Qi Niangzi is in a very good mood. She has always felt that she is smart and clever, but because she was born a few years later and is a woman, her father does not value herself and cannot be alone. Now he has fulfilled his thoughts. Wujiazhuang, she has the final say.
There is a big thing right now, and I have to show my father what I can do.
Like cleaning up the overheated room, rebuilding Wujiazhuang, sorting out all kinds of documents, and collecting donations from thieves, although these are important, they are not the most important. Anyway, the men, women and children of Wujiazhuang did not sleep in the wilderness, and they could always live in the crowd.
The thief has already given himself to the imperial court, and there is no need to worry when the money will come up from the hands of the bankers. The most important thing now is the task given to him by my father: to find a good place near Wujiazhuang and build a wharf.
She didn't understand why her father married her to the Wu family's big fool, and it wasn't until she returned to the door yesterday that she realized that her father had another deep meaning.
If the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty want to become bigger, they must have backers behind them. His Ren family is no exception, and there are big names in the capital to support him. It's just that half a year ago, this backer fell and couldn't be relied on, so the Ren family became a piece of fat, and many mouths stretched out, wanting to take a bite.
Naturally, people outside the staff will not be easily slaughtered, so they will naturally refuse all of them. But if you dare to stretch out your mouth, how can you not have the slightest ability? So soon the Ren family was in trouble. In the fruit industry, it is necessary to collect and process quickly, and every day of delay on the road will inevitably lead to some losses. Bit by bit, it is a remarkable number.
The Ren family has been doing a good job in this regard, so it has grown from small to big, occupying a piece of the fruit in the capital, but it has not worked recently, and the Ren family's cargo ships have been repeatedly troubled for no reason, and they often cannot be unloaded at anchor for a day or two.
Hancheng Wharf is the territory of the Zhu family, and the Ren family doesn't count at all. The Ren family and the Zhu family communicated several times but did not get a solution. It is clear to the staff that this is a deliberate difficulty. As long as he doesn't take refuge in the capital for a day, his ship won't go smoothly for a day.
But he is also an assertive person. You can't do such a big business without your own opinions.
The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is like a pot of boiling water, with ups and downs. Today you go down and tomorrow he will come up, maybe the day after tomorrow will come up again, and the above will go down again. He can't just fall with the wind for the sake of a momentary benefit. Otherwise, if you are unlucky another day, your family's backer will come up again, and you can still leave a way for the Ren family to live?
So he would rather resist the pressure than agree to change the court. Such a trick is nothing more than a temporary loss of money, and in the long run, it can't hurt your muscles and bones. And there are also tricks to deal with it outside of the staff. Marrying a daughter and marrying Ren Xiaoxiao to Wujiazhuang is his trick.
Wujiazhuang is only twenty miles away from Hancheng County, and it is completely possible to build a wharf by itself by relying on the Wuzhang River. It's just that Wujiazhuang has nothing to do with his old Ren family, so why should the owner of Wu Zhuang help him? The owner of Wu Zhuang is not stupid. So the clerk gave up his youngest daughter to come out, knowing that the son of the owner of Wu Zhuang was an idiot, and he insisted on marrying him. Without him, he is reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.
Ren Xiaoxiao understood her father's intentions, and her dissatisfaction with her father and mother suddenly disappeared.
In this era, the family is far larger than the individual. Sacrificing for the sake of the family, Ren Xiaoxiao was willing. She just complained that her father hadn't told her about the plan earlier.
In fact, there are also hardships outside the staff. He was afraid that Ren Xiaoxiao was too young to hide his words. If I said at the time that our family was in trouble and fell in love with your old Wu family's land, I am afraid that the owner of Wu Zhuang would have to run away after turning around. Don't look at the owner of Wu Zhuang as a rich man, he is also a shrewd person. Otherwise, how could you control Wujiazhuang for so many years. If he knew that the Ren family was in danger to the point of sending his daughter, he would not be involved in the Ren family.
Now everyone is happy. The father and son of Wu Zhuang entered the ground, and Ren Xiaoxiao was not a little daughter-in-law for a day, and directly took power.
Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out! Build a dock!
Ren Xiaoxiao was in high spirits, and was about to spread her hands and feet to do a great job, but she was depressed by Qin Mu's words.
"Ren Qi Niangzi, I'll bid you farewell."
Want to run? Why? Where are you going? Ren Xiaoxiao was completely confused. In her opinion, Qin Mu ran out of the monk's temple with his hair and customs, and it was obvious that he couldn't get on with his life. Coming to Hancheng County from a place like Youzhou, where there are many barbarians, although it is not as good as Bianliang in Tokyo, it is also one of the most prosperous places in the world, and Qin Mu should be completely content.
What more do you need to eat and wear? A little monk, Nuo is old, not to mention honestly being a subordinate to her Renfu, begging for three meals to eat, and having a tile head, what else do you want? What's more, Xiao Tao always secretly gave him good food, but he didn't wronged him.
Besides, after a night like that, did he just leave if he wanted? Ren Xiaoxiao had a sore foot in Qin Mu's hand. Especially now is the critical moment for the Ren family, there is no room for accidents, if Qin Mu says something intentionally or unintentionally, in case it is heard by the opponent, wouldn't he send a knife to others?
If you want to go, it's impossible.
But what is the reason for not letting him go? Qin Mu did not sign a deed with the Ren family. At that time, the situation was so urgent, I just wanted to take him with me, so I casually gave him an identity and changed my clothes, but the identity of the master and servant was not at all. Without a deed, there is no way to keep people strongly.
Ren Xiaoxiao was embarrassed, but Xiao Tao couldn't help but step forward and pull Qin Mu's sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Qin, don't you want me?" ”
Qin Mu didn't expect Xiao Tao to say this, and he was stunned when he looked at Xiao Tao's resentful eyes.
What the hell is this?
In ancient times, wasn't it very important to pay attention to whether men and women gave or received kisses? What is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, what are the three media, and the six hires, isn't it difficult for men and women to fall in love freely. Why is it that in a few days, this girl seems to have a private destiny for herself? And it is not hidden. But how can I have the slightest meaning of male and female feelings?
It seems that this era is not much different from the original time and space in terms of love, and it is you who is pleasing to the eye.
Qin Mu completely misunderstood this. The marriage process of men and women in the Great Song Dynasty is very complicated, and it goes without saying that the family is right, even if both parties are satisfied with each other, a set of procedures for acceptance, asking for names, accepting levies, and welcoming each other can not be less. But this is all for people with status, Xiao Tao has no status in the Great Song Dynasty, just a slave. What else is there to pay attention to slaves and maids?
And the key is that Xiao Tao thinks that Qin Mu is also a subordinate, and his identity is equivalent to her. Since they are not official eunuchs, what are they waiting for if they are not free to fall in love?
You must know that the Great Song Dynasty has no network and no WeChat, and the people Xiao Tao has known all his life can't step into the circle of Renfu. She had already known Ren Fu and young people of her age, although she was usually not ashamed to listen to them play poor, but she didn't see any of them.
Xiao Tao was going to follow Ren Xiaoxiao to marry a chicken and a dog to a dog, even though the big fool was a little stupid, but after all, he had an identity, not a subordinate like a family member, so Ren Xiaoxiao didn't accept it, but Xiao Tao felt that it was okay.
But in a blink of an eye, the situation became like this, a handsome brother fell from the sky, and he was of the same status as himself, and he experienced such a scary night together, and he saw the man for the first time in his life, and he hugged him with his own hands, Xiao Tao felt that this was the marriage of his life.
Regardless of whether Qin Mu agrees or not, she firmly believes it. So I secretly got some delicious food for Qin Mu every day, for fear that I would be tired and lose my lover. I thought that the lover had no conscience at all, and he was going to leave without saying hello. Xiao Tao inevitably broke her heart.
Qin Mu scratched his head, it was really difficult to answer Xiao Tao's question. What to do? This question goes straight to the heart, and there is no way to be ambiguous.
Say I want you, how do you want it? Qin Mu didn't feel anything about Xiao Tao at all. is not only Xiao Tao, but also has the same indifference to Ren Xiaoxiao. Because Qin Mu had come through time, it had only been a few days, and he had a feeling of unreality when he looked at everything in front of him. It's like I'm dreaming, and I'm watching a movie or a magazine.
He is a normal person with a clear mind, how can a normal person fall in love with a two-dimensional woman - unless it is a dead fat house in the original time and space, it will be so perverted.
It's not appropriate to say no. After all, if a woman opens her mouth like this, a simple and rude refusal will definitely cause irreparable damage to the other party.
Because of the unique genetic laws of the family, Qin Mu especially cherishes life and cherishes everyone around him. Even if Xiao Tao is a subordinate, he will never treat him differently.
And Qin Mu can't be treated differently, after all, he has been living in the twenty-first century, and there has never been such an existence as a master-servant relationship in his life, everyone is equal in personality. He looks at Xiao Tao, it is an hourly worker, but it is only a long-term one.
So herein lies the problem. Xiao Tao was born and raised in the Great Song Dynasty, so he naturally thinks that people are born with different statuses. Qi Niangzi fantasized that her official was the champion, but Xiao Tao couldn't think like this at all.
Xiao Tao thinks that the family with the maid is the right thing in heaven and earth. Qin Mu is not aggrieved with her. He is one of the best in the pile of maids in Renfu, and if you don't believe it, ask those families, which one doesn't boast that he is a flower.
Although he is a little older, he is already eighteen years old, but Qin Mu is not young, he asked him how old he is, he is twenty-six years old, so much older than himself, and he has no property, even the clothes are given by the little lady, with him, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
Xiao Tao's grievances are beyond words. But she didn't have much knowledge, and she couldn't say anything more, so she only pulled Qin Mu's sleeve and shed tears.
Ren Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speak.
"Qin Langjun, where are you going?" After thinking about it, Ren Xiaoxiao suddenly understood one thing. I was so busy in the past two days that I mistakenly thought that the other party was just a family member, but I forgot Qin Mu's methods that night. Or maybe she also subconsciously didn't dare to think back to that night. Now that I think about it, how can a man who can not mess up at such a critical moment be willing to be just a housekeeper.
She immediately straightened her attitude and spoke to Qin Mu in as equal a tone as possible.
Ren Xiaoxiao's words can be regarded as saving Qin Mu, and finally he didn't have to answer Xiao Tao's question, he hurriedly said: "I want to go to the capital to have a look." ”
"Are you entangled?" Ren Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled narrowly. She has been busy lately, and she hasn't explained many things in detail. especially did not explain Qin Mu's monthly salary. So Qin Mu has been working until now, and he has not had a son. It's hard to walk without money, see where you can go.
"It's not pestering me." Qin Mu admitted it calmly, but this was not difficult for him, since he opened his mouth to resign, he must have thought of a plan: "Renfu's ship has to go back and forth to the capital every day, I can take a boat over." If I don't sit in vain, just when I am a guy in Renfu, I must do the work well, and it should be regarded as the fare. ”
Ren Xiaoxiao was depressed for a while. I didn't expect this kid to be so cunning. Even the back move has been thought of.
It stands to reason that he can't force him to stay. There are rules in the Great Song Dynasty, the subordinates are not slaves, but only an employment relationship, the contract expires and comes and goes freely, no one can interfere, not to mention that Qin Mu didn't even sign the deed, even if she lifts her feet and leaves now, she has no way at all.
But Ren Xiaoxiao is Ren Xiaoxiao, and there is a way to do it as soon as her eyes roll: "Then do you have a household?" ”。
It's a bit of a hassle.
The household registration that Ren Xiaoxiao said is something similar to the household registration of the original time and space, how could Qin Mu have it. He came naked, and was seen by Ren Xiaoxiao, so he naturally knew that he had nothing. Where is Tokanhi? You can't put it in your ears and eyes, can you?
Qin Mu originally thought that in an agricultural society like the Great Song Dynasty, there was no network and no monitoring, and it didn't matter if he didn't have an ID card, taking one step at a time, but since Ren Xiaoxiao raised this question, it was not easy for him not to answer. If Ren Xiaoxiao reported to herself, wouldn't she be blind.
Qin Mu knew what Ren Xiaoxiao was worried about, so he really didn't dare to mess around. After all, Hancheng County is a character outside the staff, if he enters the Hancheng prison, who knows if the little braid he is pinching will work. Maybe it's over before you even have time to say it.
This plane is terrifying. As soon as he arrived, he was confronted with murder and arson, followed by a scuffle at the docks. It seems that killing a person is like killing a chicken, and no one cares at all. What do you want, you don't want anything, if you are killed, you will be killed, what else can you do? Therefore, the safety issue must be considered thoughtfully.
Can't come hard with Ren Xiaoxiao.
"I don't have this yet, but I can figure out how to do it." Qin Mu believes that it should be easy to get an identity in an agricultural society. After all, there is no database to store all citizen information. I don't even have a camera, I think it's nothing more than a piece of paper, and it's not a big problem to find the right way.
"Then you can figure it out first, and we'll talk about other things later." Ren Xiaoxiao decisively set the tone for the conversation. Don't want to run if you don't have a household. She didn't believe that a foreigner could easily get an identity in Hancheng County. If you want to go to the city, you have to go to the yamen, Ren Xiaoxiao decided not to take Qin Mu into the city again, and if you don't go into the city, where can you come to the city. Even if you have a household, whether you go or not, you have to say two things.
Qin Musheng was stunned.
It's not easy to do. This little lady is amazing.
"Okay." Qin Mu nodded and said, "I still have something to ask the little lady, I don't know how much money I can earn every day as a housekeeper?" ”
"Ten big bucks." Ren Xiaoxiao didn't hit a single one, so she quoted the price.
Before that, Xiao Tao also said good things for Qin Mu, and wanted the little lady to give her lover more money. The top family of Renfu is three times a month, that is, three thousand yuan, which is about one hundred wen a day, Xiao Tao thought about asking Qin Mu to take this number as well.
Well, now, even the lowliest family is not as good. But Xiao Tao is very satisfied. A man has no money and can't do anything, so he can only stay in the Ren Mansion and stay by his side.
Qin Mu had no idea about the price of money in this time and space, he didn't know what ten big money could do, whether it was enough for a bun, or if he could buy three chickens. But wages are necessary, more money and less money, you can't do without. A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and a penny is better than nothing, not to mention ten pennies.
"Okay." Regardless of whether he was satisfied or not, Qin Mu also nodded and agreed.
"Qin Mu, listen up, what I want you to do next is very important, and it is related to the imperial court." Ren Xiaoxiao immediately assigned the task: "You take Steward Wu to the village to collect the thief's donation." ”
"Haven't the seven ladies all handed it over?" The silver was still sent by Qin Mu himself.
"That's my money, I'll put it in advance. Could it be that I gave my own money to the imperial court and cheapened those mud legs for nothing? Hurry up and take it back for me. Ren Xiaoxiao ordered undoubtedly: "You know that time is limited, and within ten days, if you can't collect this money, don't think about your salary." ”
“……”
Qin Mu was depressed and speechless. It seems that Ren Xiaoniang's money is rare to see.
