Chapter 120: Seemingly Simple (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Yang Zhi and Zhang Bohu were both interested in going to Baifu, Qin Jiaoyang just cared too much about how Miss Bai would look at him, and he was a little thin-skinned, in fact, he also wanted to go in his heart, and he couldn't resist at the moment, so he went with the two of them according to his words.
In this era, most of the ladies from wealthy families stay in the deep boudoir, Gu Ying, self-pity, and the wind and the moon, and there are not many girls who are as aggressive as Shen Yu. The Bai family is a local martial arts family in Penglai, and it is said that this Miss Bai family takes care of business on behalf of her father, and the business director is still above her father.
The three of them met a lot of pedestrians in groups of three or five along the way, all of whom were talking about going to Baifu in the west of the city. From afar, there are no less than 100 people gathered outside the Baifu Gate, and there are tables and chairs with pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the courtyard, and a bamboo pole more than one zhang long is erected next to it, and there is a sweat towel tied to the top of the bamboo pole. There are five or six strong men guarding the bamboo pole, and they must be the family members or servants of the White Mansion.
Don't squeeze to the door of Baifu to see the big red notice posted, and from the onlookers, you can know the recruitment conditions and the exam questions of Miss Bai. Yang Zhi asked himself to be generous, the monthly price of Ah Fu, the chief servant of the Yang Mansion, was only ten taels of silver, in contrast, the treatment offered by the Bai Mansion was indeed very generous: a steward was hired at a high price, and the promised annual salary was 1,000 taels of silver, and free food and lodging were also provided. It is also not like the recruitment in the previous life, which has almost strict academic requirements, and all young men who are under the age of 30 and have not yet married can apply. However, once employed, a document must be made in advance, and the contract cannot be terminated and left within three years.
The examination questions of Miss Bai are also ingenious, and the bamboo poles erected in the courtyard contain three questions: the first question, candidates must not rely on the power of outsiders, nor can they use any things, and people and bamboo poles cannot leave the ground. Under such conditions, the sweat towel tied to the top of the bamboo pole is removed. The second question is that after removing the sweat towel, you must throw the sweat towel at least 10 feet away with your bare hands. Only after solving the first two questions can you continue to answer the third question. The third question is said to be a calculation related to bamboo poles, and it is required to write down the calculation process and results on the spot with the pen and ink provided on the spot. Only those who have solved all three questions correctly can be regarded as passing.
Yang Zhi asked the exam questions carefully. I couldn't help but glance at the young lady of the Bai family. There is a hint of ambiguity in the recruitment conditions and exam questions, but there is no evidence and no explicit. It seems that there are no requirements for the candidate's martial arts and literary talents, although they are biased towards wisdom, but in fact, they implicitly consider both civil and military aspects. Whether it is a brave and unscrupulous martial artist. Or a nerd who only knows how to read poetry will never be able to answer. Although there were more and more onlookers, no one dared to come forward to answer.
Yang Zhiwang asked Qin Jiaoyang and Zhang Bohu: "I already have a wife at home, even if I have the heart to apply, I can only do it in vain." Even if Brother Qin doesn't need to apply, he can still smile at Miss Bo Nabai, and Brother Zhang can earn a long-term job without worrying about food and clothing. I wonder if these first two questions can be solved? ”
Zhang Bohu replied to the question and asked: "Could it be that Brother Yang has only asked the exam questions so casually, and he can already solve them?" ”
It was meaningless for Yang Zhi to deliberately conceal his identity from Zhang Bohu at this time, and nodded and smiled: "That's natural." ”
Qin Jiaoyang thought for a moment, frowned and sighed: "Brother Yang's mind is extraordinary, and it is difficult for people to reach it!" I have already thought of how to solve the first question, and the second question is to throw the light sweat towel ten zhang away with my bare hands, if it is not for the high martial arts, it is not easy. ”
Zhang Bohu said with a smile: "Boss Qin's words are wrong! In my opinion, the second question only requires a little more effort than the first question, but it does not require the use of martial arts. ”
Qin Jiaoyang asked with a complicated expression: "Brother Zhang, could it be that you are as confident as Brother Yang in this moment?" ”
Zhang Bohu smiled faintly: "I should barely be able to answer!" However, a three-year contract must be made. It's too long. I was thinking to myself if I should go and answer. ”
If others are afraid that they would like to stay in Baifu for the rest of their lives, Zhang Bohu means that he just wants to use Baifu as a temporary shelter, and he has no interest in recruiting Ruyi Langjun, who has become Miss Bai's family.
Yang Zhi had vaguely guessed why Qin Jiaoyang was a little tired of Zhang Bohu. said with a smile: "If Brother Zhang has no intention of sending people under the fence for a long time, you might as well ask if there is a reward for only answering the question and not applying for a job." If you can easily earn some money as capital, you can start a small business from scratch in the future. Brother Qin and I didn't come here to apply, please wait here for a while, and I will report to you for the time being. ”
It doesn't matter whether Qin Jiaoyang wants to or not, he turns around and leaves. Speaking from the heart. The Qin family, the richest man in Great Xia, is indeed a well-known golden signboard, as long as it is a merchant who has heard of the Qin family, he should give a little face. Yang Zhi believed that it was extremely unlikely that Miss Bai would make Qin Jiaoyang deflated, not to mention that he still took the initiative to ask to send a great favor? Two days later, if Bai Xinglang does not die. It is rare to thank Qin Jiaoyang, it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity to pursue the victory.
came to the front of the White Mansion and reported: "My master has 100,000 urgent and urgent matters to see Miss Bai." ”
The servant of the White Mansion sneered: "There are more young masters who ask to see my young lady every day, which doesn't mean that there are 100,000 urgent and urgent matters?" First of all, who is the owner of your family? ”
It seems that as Qin Jiaoyang said, there are really a lot of suitors for this Miss Bai! Yang Zhixin said that if the Qin family's signboard was not bright, it would mean that the Bai family did not take the Qin family in their eyes. Even if the cooperation is not too smooth in the future. The warning will be stopped, even if Bai Xinglang is killed, he deserves to die! After he died, if Qin Jiaoyang really wanted to pursue Miss Bai, he could still follow him!
The arrogant attitude of the Baifu doorman, of course, also has the meaning of wanting to knock on some bamboo poles to earn a few small bucks. Yang Zhi didn't bother with him, frowned and replied: "My master is the second young master of the Qin family, Qin Jiaoyang and Qin Gongzi. ”
"Second Young Master of the Qin Clan, Young Master Qin? I don't think I've been here before. …… You wait! ”
It turns out that Bai Xinglang doesn't deserve to die. After a while, the servant of the White Mansion came out and replied respectfully: "My young lady said that the second son of the Qin family is a rare guest, go and invite your son-in-law to come into the mansion to serve tea and talk." ”
Yang Zhi's cameo appearance is just a whim, and of course he will not make a light bulb again. In the past, I told Qin Jiaoyang, a sullen rookie who was waiting for anxiety: People are willing to see you, why don't you hurry up?
And on this side, Zhang Bohu has also asked the Baifu family who guards the bamboo pole to ask Miss Bai, as long as he can solve all three questions, if he is not willing to apply for the job as the Baifu steward, he can also immediately get a reward of three hundred taels of silver.
In the past, most people just came to see the excitement, afraid of the power of Baifu, and those who did not meet the application conditions did not dare to go forward to answer the questions. As soon as this statement came out, it was equivalent to that under the restriction of no conditions at all, everyone could earn the three hundred taels of silver, and the crowd of onlookers became more and more interested, and many people were eager to try.
If Miss Bai doesn't agree, it will inevitably seem a little childish, and there will be a suspicion of weakness when it is spread out. From this point, it can be seen that Miss Bai is indeed a hearty and understanding person.
Zhang Bohu seemed to have expected Miss Bai to agree, so he stepped forward without a hurry and took the bamboo pole and walked to a well in the corner of the courtyard. Calmly insert the bamboo pole into the well and easily remove the sweat towel. The crowd of onlookers were all stunned, which did not contradict the requirements of solving the problem, and they applauded.
The solution condition of the first question actually sets a thinking trap for the second question, which can also be said to allow Zhang Bohu to take advantage of the loophole. I saw that he found a stone on the ground, and then wrapped it with a sweat towel and threw it hard, and the sweat towel naturally threw it more than ten zhang away together with the stone, and everyone was full of colorful voices.
The reason why Miss Bai asked to solve the first two questions before she could solve the third question was because the third question implied a hint for understanding the first question: inserting the bamboo pole into the water and getting wet three feet. Then the bamboo pole is inserted upside down into the water, and all the soaked parts are two feet longer than one-third of the total length of the bamboo pole, and the total length of the bamboo pole is how many feet.
This question is actually easy for Zhang Bohu, and almost without thinking, he wrote down the calculation process and answer on the spot: the bamboo pole is twelve feet long.
Yang Zhi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly admire him: these three questions seem to be effortless to answer, like a child's play, which is worthless, but as long as there is a slight lack of mental ability, it will be stuck. It was because I had a little impression of the first two questions in my memory in my previous life, so I immediately had the answer. But Zhang Bohu is completely hard and strong, relying on his on-the-spot quickness and wit, it proves that this person is not simple!
Zhang Bohu still went to receive the three hundred taels of silver with a faint smile, and found Yang Zhi in the crowd and said with a smile: "Brother Yang is like me? It's not as embarrassing as it was in Shunzhou that day, and today I was lucky enough to get three hundred taels of silver, so it's better to do the east in the next place, and invite Brother Yang and Boss Qin to have a good drink! Well? Brother Yang said that he was going to report for Boss Qin, but did he ask to see Miss Bai? Why hasn't Boss Qin come out yet? ”
No matter how Yang Zhi looks at him, he doesn't look like a person who values this few hundred taels of silver, Qin Jiaoyang is not a narrow-minded person who is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and he will never be tired of him without any reason. Although his heart is becoming more and more interested in Zhang Bohu, he is not in a hurry to recruit him to his command at this time.
Smiled apologetically: "Brother Qin and I really have other important things to do today, and Brother Zhang's good intentions can only be understood." I will stay in Penglai for a while, and I will definitely go to visit Brother Zhang another day, and I will get drunk with Brother Zhang! ”
Zhang Bohu was not reluctant, and after agreeing happily, he hugged his fists and said goodbye, and went away in the envious eyes of people.
Miss Bai's three questions were all solved, and the recruitment had to be temporarily ended, and the crowd dispersed. Yang Zhi was bored and waited for a meal before Qin Jiaoyang came out of the White Mansion. As soon as he went out, he sighed with relief, and his face was like a red cloth. It is conceivable that the first meeting of great significance with Miss Bai just now was obviously not much easier than his strategizing in Penglai.
Yang Zhi couldn't help but laugh, stepped forward and asked concisely, "How?" ”
This big boy who is calm and calm in the business field, but is very shy when he first gets involved in love, responded: "...... OK. Brother Yang, it's inconvenient to talk here, so let's go back and talk about it in detail!
