Chapter 45: Yu's Heart
Earlier. The sky was still bright, and it was not dark.
Zhangfu in the north of the city. Yu sat in front of an elegant Song couch, the screen was half-open, and his face was angry.
"Where's the master?" Yu asked.
"The master is not feeling well, put down his words, and no one is allowed to disturb him." The loyal servant Yu Tianci bowed and replied.
"Something that doesn't make a difference! I must have seen that Pan Jinlian was promised to outsiders by me, and I was not happy, so I died in the house and didn't come out, and I was embarrassed! That little doesn't know what's going on now, I can't wait to see her being bullied by that useless martial arts every day! ”
"Madam, I heard that Wu Da did something sensational in Deng Xiaoyi's shop today......
"What's the matter?"
For the sake of a few embroidery piers, he actually put Pan ...... No, it's that little cheap x person, he actually took Pan Jinlian's little cheap x person as a pledge for a few embroidery piers and forwarded it......"
"Is there such a thing?" Yu sat up straight all of a sudden: "What kind of character is Deng Xiaoyi?" ”
"It's not a character, but a poor ghost. At the end of Xidi Street, there is a small shop in the corner. Wu Da and Deng Xiaoyi signed a contract, saying that it would be limited to ten days, and the little cheap x person would pledge the embroidery, if it was not paid, the little cheap x person would belong to Deng Xiaoyi...... This time, there is a Wu scholar to testify, and the slut is afraid that she will change hands again......"
Yu Tianci then explained the gambling contract between Wu Zhi and Deng Xiaoyi to Yu, and while speaking, the corners of his mouth showed a lewd smile, Yu looked at him frivolously, glared at him fiercely, and was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.
"What the two sides have decided, how much is that little cheap x person worth?" Yu asked.
"It's only equivalent to six taels of silver." Yu Tianci replied.
"It's only six taels of silver? That Wuda is really a bachelor, a young girl and a young woman are sent to his mouth, he doesn't like to eat, as soon as the morning dawns, he will be handed over to others, I really didn't misunderstand him......" Yu Shi muttered.
"Yes, madam, that Wuda is a pinch of birds!" Yu Tianci scolded and continued: "Even if it's me, the shopkeeper of a tailor's shop, it's only four taels of silver a month, think about that Wuda, how can I get six taels of silver in ten days?" It's an ironclad thing to change hands......"
Yu Tianci was talking, and when he looked up, he found that Yu was glaring at him angrily, but it was only fleeting. I thought to myself, yes, she understood what she meant!
Do you think I'm a slip of the tongue like I was before? No, the previous slip of the tongue was true, but this time it is clearly false!
It turned out that in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were two kinds of salaries and returns for being a partner, one was to have a fixed monthly income without accommodation, and the other was to have a fixed income and include food and accommodation.
The former is generally hired externally, the latter is hired externally, and there are also servants like Yu Tianci.
Although Yu Tianci is a shopkeeper, he is still a loyal servant, and he has been with the Yu family and the Zhang family for some years, but after all, he is just a high-level guy, in today's words, it is called a part-time job, so what if he is a manager?
No matter how much money the company makes, you only have that small share.
Of course, Yu Tianci can get four taels of silver a month, which is a lot, because Zhang's house guarantees him food and lodging, not to mention that the food is the same as the standard of the main family, just saying "live", in terms of market price, the three big houses next to the tailor's shop he lives in will cost at least three or four taels of silver per month.
In the Song Dynasty, in fact, large households were equivalent to "companies".
In addition to these benefits such as the silver taels that can be obtained on the surface and the houses in the name, there is also an invisible benefit of joining a large "company", that is, identity.
Working in a large family, you must often walk around in some official eunuchs and rich people's homes, so it is also a cheap thing to mix up your face and seek some personal gain.
This is the single and biggest benefit of joining a large "company".
Just like in modern times, people who enter a large company may not pay more attention to the seemingly high salary but actually the small salary, but care about the big platform.
Yu Shi said gently: "God, it has been many years since you entered the Zhang Mansion with me, and if you help me do one more thing, I will not treat you badly." ”
"Madame, please!"
"Do you know the purpose of the Wuda embroidery?"
"I know. It is said that he was going to open a noodle restaurant in Tennodo. Although Wangtang is on the edge of the Qing River that day, it belongs to the northwest corner, not on the waterway from south to north, Mrs. should know that Jingyanggang in the north leads directly to Yanggu, and the merchants who come and go from Yanggu have to cross the Qinghe River after passing Jingyanggang, if Wangtang is close to Jingyanggang that day, the business is naturally not bad, but unfortunately, it is two or three miles away, don't look at this is only two or three miles, but it is very fatal......"
"Alright, I got it. That Wuda actually wants to open a noodle restaurant, and it seems that he is still a craftsman. So, what do you go to first...... Deng Xiaoyi's family is sure if the contract is true or false......"
"Madam, you don't need to ask about this, this matter is serious, you can't be wrong."
"Okay, put this matter aside, then you go find someone to check on it, see what kind of life that slut is living now, and then come back and report it to me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yu Tianci bowed and retired.
……
……
In the Hall of the Heavenly King, there was laughter and laughter.
Yesterday, Jin Lian was still cold, but today she is much happier and cuter.
Li Zhong came back and sat in the yard while watching the three of them play hopscotch while making wooden spinning tops. As a result, after the top was made, the sky was already about to get dark, Wu Zhi hurriedly went to fetch two lanterns and put them on the table in the courtyard, but Gu's sister-in-law was already too tired, so she pulled Li Zhong to say goodbye to Wu Zhi together.
Li Zhong was still unwilling, yelling that I was going to leave before I started playing, Sister-in-law Gu glanced at him, Li Zhong himself was not a stupid person, and immediately understood, this was to leave more space between the newlywed husband and wife, so he immediately changed his words and left with Sister-in-law Gu.
"Jin Lian, I'll send Li Zhong and Sister-in-law Gu."
"Hmm."
Wu Zhi said hello to Jin Lian and went to see off Li Zhong and Gu's sister-in-law.
The three of them walked and talked. Speaking of which, let's go back to the incident where Wu Zhi turned into a red oil and spicy man.
"Brother Wu, I think you are very good in all aspects, but you like to brag ......" Li Zhong accused Wu Zhidao.
"Yes, Brother Li Zhong is right, brother, you love to talk nonsense, it's fine if you are in front of outsiders, but it is also like this in front of your sister-in-law, it is quite unkind......" Sister-in-law Gu also kept up with the rhythm.
It turned out that the reason why the two of them were able to "transform" into a red and spicy man was just because of their quick hands and feet, and they used a bit of tricks, and they must have thought about it in advance to fool them, so they didn't take it as the same thing.
