Chapter 41: You Work and I Get Rich
Zhao Junsheng finally learned Wan Yutong's kung fu this time, he was worried that he would be seen pulling and pulling and entangled with her, if he was reported to Wandu Gui, he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
This master is a ruthless man, if anyone harms his daughter and doesn't let her become the imperial concubine, he can do anything.
In order to prevent this little girl from continuing to entangle, Zhao Junsheng had to agree to let her go to Zhao Ji's clothing shop every three or five days, and he taught her some embroidery and sewing techniques every time.
Zhao Junsheng bought some gifts on the way home, and was about to go to Huajiabao to visit the cheap old man, and when he rode back to the clothing shop, Feng San and Ma Er were fiddling with the fabrics in the store.
"Hey, hey, Third Brother Feng!" Ma Er saw Zhao Junsheng get off the horse, carrying gifts and official clothes in his hands, and immediately pushed Feng San.
Feng San said while busy: "What's the matter? ”
"The sow is up the tree!" Ma Er watched Zhao Junsheng walk in and say blankly.
"What?" Feng San turned around and saw the official uniform Zhao Junsheng was holding in his hand, and was stunned and exclaimed, "Is it really a sow on the tree?" Uncle, why did you become an official? This is not normal! ”
Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand to greet Feng San's head, and scolded while fighting: "What's abnormal? What does it mean to be normal? Your uncle, why is it not normal for me to be an official? ”
"Don't fight, don't fight! No, uncle, you are a businessman, how can you be an official? Is General Wan blind? Feng San shouted.
"General Wan's eyes are very good! I, Zhao Junsheng, was not born to be a businessman, but I am a scholar! Feng San, in order not to leave a handle on people, from now on, the business of the store and the affairs of the garment workshop will all be handed over to you, I guess you can't be busy alone, and the garment workshop will have to ask a few reliable people to take care of it, otherwise something will have to go wrong! In addition, I can only do the customized clothes for customers here in the shop for another half a month at most, and you have to find one or two tailors with good craftsmanship to take over immediately, and they must be reliable! In short, you work, I get rich! ”
Feng San cried with a sad face: "Is there any reason for this?" ”
Zhao Junsheng ignored Feng San's funny and said to Ma Er: "Second Brother Ma, you go and prepare, let's go to Huajiabao!" ”
"Yes, uncle!" Ma Er agreed, and went to the backyard to prepare.
Five horses, one of which was carrying gifts, Zhao Junsheng and Ma Er whipped up their horses along the way, changed horses halfway, ran for an hour, and arrived at Huajiabao at noon.
It is still seven or eight miles away from Huajiabao, Zhao Junsheng saw herds of cattle, sheep and horses eating grass leisurely on the grassland, the surrounding vision is broad, you can see the end of the sky at a glance, there are rivers and clearly visible mountains nearby, this scenery makes people feel refreshed.
"There are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses!" Zhao Junsheng shouted loudly as he rode his horse and galloped.
Ma Er said: "The adult sheep have been sold to the garrison, and now the rest are lambs and ewes, the number of rams is less, the rest are cattle, and there are not many horses, they are all mares and foals, and there are only a few stallions!" ”
The herdsmen knew Ma Er, and they all greeted him with horsewhips: "Second Brother Ma, why are you back?" ”
Ma Er shouted: "Uncle came to visit the castle master, I'll show you the way!" ”
The herdsmen greeted Zhao Junsheng with smiles: "Hello uncle! ”
Zhao Junsheng smiled and bowed back, and said loudly: "You guys are good!" ”
After passing through this batch of grazing cattle, sheep and horses, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Ma Er, how many people are there in the fort now?" How many burgers are there? ”
Ma Er said: "There are more than 230 people in the fort, and there are more than 50 people in the fort!" On weekdays, half of the fortmen are grazing, the other half patrolling the pastures inside and outside the fort, and the other old and weak women and children are responsible for harvesting forage, reeds, and collecting livestock manure······"
After Ma Er's introduction, Zhao Junsheng finally had some understanding of the situation inside Huajiabao, more than 200 people in Huajiabao, dozens of households all rely on grazing for a living, only planting reeds by the river to feed livestock, not engaged in the cultivation of other crops, everyone has a clear division of labor.
"Uncle, you will arrive in front, and you see that towering spire is the watchtower in the middle of the fort!" Ma Er pointed ahead with his horsewhip and shouted.
Zhao Junsheng looked ahead, only to see a fortress-like building standing in front of the terrain slightly higher, this is a strengthened version of the dock fort, its fort gate tower and the top of the tower towering in the middle of the fort are hung with flower flags, the four sides of the city wall to protect the people of the fort in it, in the four corners of the dock fort each built an arrow tower, the city gate and the four corners of the arrow tower between the city wall there is a defensive female wall, it in addition to the area is not as large as the county seat, its shape is actually no different from the city.
Running to the gate of the fort, Zhao Junsheng found that there was a trench outside the wall of the fort, and there was water in the trench, I don't know how deep it was, but it was more than three zhang wide.
The gate of the castle was open, and Ma Er shouted while riding his horse and running: "Go and report to Miss, my uncle is here, my uncle has come to see the castle master!" ”
The burghers on the upper floor of the fort gate immediately turned their heads and shouted to the castle, and a series of shouts suddenly came out of the fort: "Uncle is here, uncle is here!" ”
After a burst of chickens and dogs, when Zhao Junsheng and Ma Er rode into the castle, the people of the castle hurriedly ran out of their homes to see the excitement.
Zhao Junsheng on horseback pointed at him one by one: "Wow, this is my uncle, you see how thin and tender he looks, Miss likes this kind of creamy little life?" ”
"Does he know how to herd?"
"I don't know if he can shoot a bow and arrows!"
Zhao Junsheng listened to orders very well, and was very sensitive to sounds, and he heard all the voices of these shepherds who were still wearing sheepskin clothes on a hot day talking about him, the muscles on his face trembled, and he walked forward side by side with Ma Er as if nothing happened.
After a while, Zhao Junsheng saw Hua Mulan, who was wearing braids and women's clothes, running from the front, panting, and her chest was still moving, which was extremely moving.
Zhao Junsheng smiled, stopped his horse, and jumped down from the horse to meet Mulan.
Hua Mulan stopped in front of Zhao Junsheng with a red face, pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and shouted shyly: "Brother Junsheng, are you here?" ”
Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "I brought some top-notch medicinal materials over to see my old father-in-law!" ”
A stout young man next to him let out a strange cry: "Oh, oh, oh! ”
"Hahaha······" The others reacted and burst out laughing, soon following the strange cry: "Oh, oh, oh······"
Hua Mulan's face turned red with shame, a little annoyed and angry, and she stomped her feet and shouted, "Shut up for me, what should I do!" ”
The burgers were afraid of Mulan's "obscenity", and immediately dispersed, laughing and running away, each busy with their own work.
Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng with some embarrassment: "Brother Junsheng, let's go, Grandpa heard that you were here just now, he was very happy, and wanted to come out to meet you, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he could only wait in the house!" ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's go!"
How did you know that a bear child flashed out from behind Mulan and shouted to Zhao Junsheng: "You are my cheap brother-in-law?" ”
