Chapter 031: The Battle of the Stewards
Zhu Fu, who personally sent Lin Zhengbei away and returned to his original place, couldn't help but pout when he saw the copy of "The Secret Art of Turning Stone into Gold" on the square table. The only place to go is to put it in the toilet at the entrance of the village as a handpiece of paper. Other than that, I really don't see anything valuable about it at all? Zhu Fu, who won't really throw it into the dung pit, can't lose it, but also has to calm down and look at it patiently, so that he can communicate with Lin Zhengbei in the future and discuss how to turn stones into gold.
"Daoist Zhu, you asked me to help you find a courtyard in the city, but you have eyebrows. Although the yard is not as good as here, and the location is a little remote, it covers a spacious area and the price is cheap. Now, if you have time, I'll take you to see it. Okay, just buy it. No, don't buy it. Wang Dake, who walked in directly, said with a smile.
Zhu Fu, who turned his back and faced him, repeatedly said in his heart, the remote location is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Without revealing any of his intentions, he initially planned to sell a courtyard in the city for long-term residence. Since he has wanted to contribute his youth and blood to the cultural cause of the Ming Dynasty, he has the first person to be the first person in the world to be the H story club.
Zhu Fu, who felt that he was doing this kind of dishonorable thing and wandering in the gray area, always had to find a corner in the city to typeset, print, and bind into a book, and on the other hand, he needed a better and more convenient place as a sales point for distribution.
Zhu Fu arched his hands with his hands clenched into fists, and responded: "There is Brother Lao." The yard you are optimistic about is naturally not wrong. It's just not clear how much it costs? If the asking price is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ā
"Shout two hundred taels of silver. I built yƬ, and the counteroffer of one hundred and fifty taels should be almost possible. You and the landlord can discuss it slowly, and I'm just a guy who runs errands for you. Wang Dake, who casually found a chair and sat down directly, patted the dust on his body, his two little eyes were spinning, his consciousness was very vague, and he added two sentences coldly: "Not only does my master value you very much, but even the third lady of my family is impressed with you." In the future, I hope you can help me a lot. ā
Zhu Fu, who was not in a hurry to see the yard, summed up the price, but it was also suitable and he could get it. Having a venue is only one of them, but I don't know how much silver it will cost to start a new stove and start a printing workshop? He who still had four hundred and eighty-six taels of silver in his hand, minus one hundred and fifty taels, had three hundred and thirty-six taels of silver remaining. Once he has made up his mind, he has to get things done, after all, as long as he dares to think and do, he has a chance to succeed.
Zhu Fu, who heard what he said, said in response to the words he added later: "Brother Wang, why do you mean this? There is no third person here, you and me, so there is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. If it is within my ability, I will not refuse. ā
deliberately turned his head sideways and glanced at Wang Dake, who was unoccupied outside the door, and might as well make his words clear: "Although you have been in the mansion for a short time and you are a guest, my master really treats you as a Taoist friend worth making for life." You don't know, the third lady in my family is a person with eyes above the top. Not only was she able to talk to you so much, but she also played a song for you, which is enough to prove that you are extraordinary. At the very least, she can be seen. In the same way, you know, I am just the second housekeeper in this house. However, ask yourself, in terms of personal ability, it is not inferior to the big butler, and even far surpasses. People who stand in the pit and don't and fill their pockets are harmful to the Lin Mansion. I have collected a lot of evidence here that the big housekeepers colluded with outsiders and ate inside and out. If it's convenient, I'll have to bother you to give me a hand. ā
Zhu Fu, who heard it very clearly, really didn't expect that not only was there a lot of eyeliner in the Lin Mansion, but also the personnel relationship had become so complicated. Wang Dake's meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, he wanted to replace the big housekeeper. When he saw that he was close to Lin Zhengbei and Lin Ruoxi was close and could talk, he thought about beating a side drum for him from the side.
Zhu Fu, who has intersected with Wang Dake back and forth, of course understands that he is not a good type and a good bird. He didn't want to get involved in the internal struggle of the Lin Mansion, and he didn't want to be the other party's gun, so he tactfully shirked: "Brother Wang, are you too high-spirited?" Can I, as a newcomer, have such a great influence? ā
has been summed up many times, and Wang Dake, who has been planning for a long time, is not a big fool. He also knew that there was no free lunch in the world and said: "I really have to ask the immortal chief for help in this matter." Since you like that courtyard, then I'll give it to you. Find the right opportunity, you can come to my lord in front of a pretended to ask God to possess you, so as to tell the bad deeds of the great butler. As for the third young lady, you can mention it and say something about it when you are not talking to her. ā
Zhu Fu secretly scolded him in his heart, there is really you. This man has become emboldened in everything for the sake of power and profit. first bribed himself, and then let himself pretend to be a god to fool Lin Zhengbei. It seems that Wang Dake has spent a lot of time in private to figure out the thoughts of his master and the third lady.
It is precisely because Lin Zhengbei is obsessed with Taoism that he will let his famous self come forward to perform, so that the head of the Lin Mansion can believe that the premeditated qiÄ is true. As for Lin Ruoxi, she is the most favored person, so naturally in Lin Zhengbei's ears is a mouthful of spit, a pit, which is not comparable to others.
Zhu Fu was in the spirit of not losing his own interests, so he moved a small stool to watch the play. In the final analysis, the dispute between the two Lin Mansion stewards has nothing to do with themselves at all, whether the horse beats the cow to death, or the cow beats the horse, it's up to them. However, the father and daughter of the Lin family have a certain relationship with themselves, after all, both of them are potential big customers he serves. Knowing that he can't afford to lose this piece, his first priority is not to make them disgusted with him.
"I can help you, I will. In any case, as an outsider who has just arrived, it is not easy for me to get involved in the affairs of your house. As for the courtyard, it is still what it should be, and I bought it. When it is done, you will say something of thanks to me. Zhu Fu, who didn't say anything to death, cut the tofu with a knife on both sides.
Hearing that he neither refused nor promised Wang Dake, he smiled and said: "As long as Brother Zhu has a heart and is not in a hurry, I can take my time in that matter." Otherwise, how about we go and see the yard? ā
Zhu Fu, who took the initiative to stand up, arched his hand again and said, "Okay, I'm tired." ā
