Chapter 038: Reality and Ideals
The incense that the silver tael was held in both hands, jumped and jumped happily. In the past, there was something to give out fruit in this house, maybe it was your turn, after all, that thing was not very valuable. However, when it came to the reward, I didn't get to the side. Good things are controlled by the big maids in the house first, serving bowls and eating meat, and then there will be some famous maids who are close to the master can also drink some of the soup. A little maid like herself who is not directly subordinate to her master simply thinks not to think about it. Even if you lean over, you will be directly coaxed away and scolded by others.
"Let's go out and have fun!" Zhu Fu, who was going to take away Ning Xiang so that she could talk to Zhao Tian'er, although the little maid of the Lin Mansion was diligent and attentive and thoughtful in serving the two of them, but after all, she was still a slave of the Lin family, and it was inconvenient.
Holding the incense of a small silver coin in the palm of his right hand, he nodded, and ran towards the door as soon as he slipped away. The first time she got the reward, she had to show off to the little sisters in the house, so as to prove that she was still a very capable little girl. If not, I would not have received such a reward.
Turning his head sideways, he looked at Zhao Tian'er, who was missing Ning Xiang, while continuing to wash Zhu Fu's feet, he pouted with a little dissatisfaction: "Are you giving her too much?" That's a tael of snowflake silver! If you want to buy polished rice, you can buy two stones and come back. You and I have been eating for two years. ”
Zhu Fu, who understood that she was born in a poor family and had been hungry, felt more and more that she could live better than herself. I belong to that kind of person, who spends money indiscriminately when he has money in his hand, and when he has no money, he will rack his brains and try his best to get money to spend. Even if you regret it, it's too late, after all, what has been given out, how can you be embarrassed to come back? What's more, Ning Xiang, this little maid is indeed strange and pitiful. Otherwise, she would not have been sent to serve the guests who came to the door for a temporary stay. After all, in this special era, many Taoists and men are very fond of engaging in young girls and prostitution.
In order to express his enthusiasm for hospitality, the host who is not rich or noble will send a little maid in her teens raised by the family to serve her in this way, but in fact, it is to give it to the guests to play with wantonly. Of course, these little maids who were sent were naturally not close to the master, or the people they liked, but were often poor worms who had no relationship or background in the house.
After a great sacrifice, they will not receive any mercy and recognition from their masters, but will only continue to use them as an outcast. As long as one of them is broken by a guest, he will never be sent to serve the core of the family, after all, he thinks they are dirty. In this way, the good future as a slave and maid was ruined.
"You can't think like this, but you should think that although you spent a tael of silver, you bought the heart of Ning Xiang. Besides, don't you want to take her as your personal maid? Then, rewarding her for being generous can also promote her enthusiasm for doing things, so that she will be more loyal and attentive to you. Zhu Fu, who showed her that he would not spend money in vain, talked about the way to control people and how to spend money.
Zhao Tian'er, who washed his feet and dried his feet with a foot cloth, stood up slowly, wiped his wet hands in front of him, and just went to take the fifteen taels of silver ticket on the coffee table in his hand, and said seriously: "I'll keep it for you!" lest you spend lavishly and have no food to eat in the future. Only this silver ticket is here, enough for us to live comfortably for two or three years without any problems. ”
"Little thing, you have to have faith in me. In the future, I will not only let you eat fragrant food, drink spicy food, and live in a big house, but also let you wear gold and silver, have a car when you go out, and have a bunch of maids with you to serve you. Zhu Fu, who had a smile on his face, said a lot of good things to coax her.
"Just fool me! I do not ask for what you said, but I hope that we will not live a poor life of hunger like the one on the mountain, and we will be satisfied. Zhao Tian'er, who folded the silver ticket in his hand and put it in the inner pocket of his body, patted it happily, and said the truth in his heart.
"Before, you shouldn't have said those whispers of Qiu Yue in front of Ning Xiang. This is not good, after all, we are still living in the Lin Mansion temporarily. The rules of this guest still need to be exquisite. If you don't feel well and don't want to live here, you can move somewhere else. Today, I went out for a run, but I didn't run in vain, but I got a good house. Although it is not as good as us living here, it has a look of seven or eight points. "I'm afraid that this little girl doesn't keep her mouth open, and it's not good for Zhu Fu to make Qiuyue hateful, and there is still a funding gap that needs to be solved. The person I thought of was nothing more than the father and daughter of the Lin family. Otherwise, no one would have been able to lend themselves so much silver.
"I'm going to live where you said. Won't you come and stay with you? Zhao Tian'er, who was unwilling to separate from him, was criticized by him, although she was a little unhappy, but she did not refute anything.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here for a long time." Thinking that borrowing a large amount of silver is a matter of collateral, Zhu Fu even if he privately mortgaged the deed and title deed of the Li family's old mansion, he could not make up less than six hundred and fifty taels of silver, after all, that house was only worth half of the loan he needed at best. So, his brain was not idle, he was always thinking about how to persuade Lin Ruoxi or Lin Zhengbei to lend himself enough silver.
For their father and daughter, a mere six hundred and fifty taels of silver is not a matter at all. Although the father and daughter of the Lin family will not put that little bit of silver in their eyes, in business, there is naturally a set of inherent rules for business operations. In all fairness, I haven't known them for long, and I'm an acquaintance at most. In the case of non-relatives, they can completely express a kind of refusal, after all, no one's silver will be blown in by a strong wind.
At the same time, Zhu Fu knew very well that he needed more than six hundred and fifty taels of silver. In order to prevent any accidents, I have to get another thousand taels of silver, so as not to have no cash for turnover in the future. Among them, if Zhao Tian'er completely offended Qiu Yue and caused the other party to go to her master to say bad things, it would really be a big deal for herself, after all, the Lin family's father and daughter trusted Qiu Yue far more than they believed in themselves. At that time, the two of them could really only go back to the nameless mountain to continue to live in a dilapidated house and live a hard life.
