Zhao Ruxi turned his head to Ge Wu and said, "Master Ge, can I see your craftsmanship?" ”

Ge Wu hesitated, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to speak.

Thinking of the vigilance of the father and son just now and the abnormal expressions of the husband and wife, Zhao Ruxi knew that there must have been a change in his family.

"You guys," she asked, "...... Is there something going on? ”

Zheng Zhongren's face was a little worried.

He didn't seem to have inquired about Ge Wu's situation comprehensively. Looking at the way he is now, he is afraid that he is in trouble.

Ge Wu's emotions seemed to be a little excited. He lowered his head and took a deep breath, then raised his head and showed a stiff smile at Zhao Ruxi: "It's nothing difficult." It's just Miss Zhao, if you came to ask me to be a jade craftsman, then please come back. I've already gone down to the other silver buildings. ”

Zhao Ruxi glanced at Ge's wife, saw her mouth open and closed, and immediately lowered her head, as if she had given up struggling.

She turned to Ge Wu and said, "If Master Ge you find a good place, I won't say anything." After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and you should obey your promises when you give up on others. But I don't think you look like you're fine, and there must be something that makes you embarrassed. You also know that I was introduced by your senior brother, Master Ge, even if you can't go to me to do things, if you can help, for Master Wang's sake, I will also reach out to help. ”

"Thank you, Miss Zhao, for your kindness. It's just that this matter ......," Ge Wu shook his head, "I won't bother Miss Zhao." ”

As soon as Zheng Zhongren heard that Ge Wu was in trouble, he had the intention of retreating, and did not advocate that Zhao Ruxi should cause trouble for the sake of a craftsman.

But now that he saw that Zhao Ruxi seemed to be determined to win Ge Wuzhi, he said loudly: "I'm afraid you don't know the identity of the Zhiwei layman, right?" Zhiwei is not only Miss Suiping Bofu, but also Mr. Deadwood's apprentice. ”

Seeing Ge Wu's puzzled expression, obviously not knowing where Mr. Deadwood was, Zheng Zhongren explained: "Mr. Deadwood is the holy cousin and the holy hand of painting; His eldest apprentice is the official department of Shangshu, the second apprentice is the left servant of the Ministry of Works, and the third apprentice is the right temple of Dali Temple. ”

He made a gesture to Zhao Ruxi: "This Zhiwei monk is the fourth apprentice of Mr. Deadwood. ”

The ordinary people in other places may not understand the position of the court officials, but the people in the capital are different. Living under the roots of the imperial city, they have some understanding of the level of official positions and titles.

Hearing the list of official positions reported by Zheng Zhongren, especially the two sentences "the holy cousin" and "the second apprentice is the left waiter of the Ministry of Works", Ge Wu and his wife were excited.

Ge's wife wanted to speak when she heard that Zhao Ruxi was "Miss Suiping Bofu", but she finally couldn't help it at this moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Ruxi: "Please Miss help us." ”

Ge Wu hurriedly got up and pulled his wife up: "Don't be like this, don't be embarrassed to know the micro layman." ”

He smiled apologetically at Zhao Ruxi again: "I'm sorry, women, I don't understand anything, don't be surprised." ”

He worked in the silver building for a few years, and he knew more about the world than his wife, who only stayed at home.

He had offended the powerful, and perhaps the young lady in front of him had a higher status and more power than that person. But why should people stand up for him as a small craftsman and offend the powerful of the same camp?

He is not an irreplaceable and important person.

Seeing Ge Wu pulling his wife up, Zhao Ruxi didn't stop him.

When the husband and wife sat down in silence, Ge's wife had already lowered her head and silently wiped away her tears, and then she asked, "Can you tell me what happened?" If I am able, I will lend a hand to help, because I have heard that Master Ge's craftsmanship is no less than that of Master Wang, and I hope that Master Ge can come to work in my silver building. ”

As soon as she said this, Ge's wife rekindled hope and looked at her husband hopefully.

Ge Wu himself also raised a glimmer of hope.

He said: "It's Zhongqin Bofu." ”

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Ruxi: "I used to work in the silver building opened by Zhongqinbo's family. Later, someone in the silver building framed me for stealing jade, and the loyal and diligent prince and the shopkeeper did not believe me, asked me to compensate for the loss, and let me go to prison for two years. After I came out, the shopkeeper of the silver building of Zhongqin Bofu came to invite me again, but I immediately refused. ”

"Later, I was introduced by my brother to work in a silver building, but the people from the Zhongqin Bofu went to the new owner to spread gossip, saying that my hands and feet were not clean, and I was immediately dismissed. Later, I found another one, and it was the same. Their family couldn't hire a suitable master, so they wanted to force me to go back by this means. ”

He lowered his head: "Originally, I resigned myself to my fate, so I thought about picking up some work at home, or buying some cheap jade materials to process by myself, and selling them in the market by myself, although the income is very low, I can still make a living to support my family." Who would have thought that a few days ago, the loyal and diligent uncle suddenly came to the door, looking like a corporal Lixian, and personally came to invite me back to work, but in fact, the salary was extremely low. He also said that I toasted and didn't eat and drink. ”

Zhao Ruxi paused when he saw him here, and asked, "You agreed?" ”

"How is that possible?" Ge Wu raised his head, his face was full of resentment, and his palms unconsciously clenched into fists, "It's his family that made me like this." Now they want to force me with dirty means and hire me at a very low price, how can I be willing? I refused. ”

"It's just ......" his lips trembled, and the resentment on his face turned into helplessness and despair, "He threatened me that if I didn't agree, my senior brother wouldn't want to stay in the Ministry of Works, and the other senior brothers wouldn't want to work in the silver building in peace." ”

"The brothers and sisters have helped me a lot, they were all running around when the accident happened, and they have been supporting my family for the past three years, how can I affect them?" He buried his head in pain and grabbed his hair with both hands, "So I'm sorry Miss Zhao, I can't go to you to do things." Please go back. ”

"Since you don't want to go to the silver building of the Zhongqin Bo Mansion by yourself, then it's no problem." Zhao Ruxi said.

If it was someone else, she might have to consider it and find out the situation before making a decision. After all, she is not alone, she has to think about Suiping Bofu and her master and brothers, and she can't cause trouble for them.

But as soon as she heard about Zhongqinbofu, she took the lawsuit without hesitation.

After all, the Zhongqin Bofu is the place where the original owner has lived for a few years, and the introduction of the Zhongqin Bofu in the original book is also quite detailed, and Zhao Ruxi knows the relationship network of that family very well.

Zhong Qinbo was a four-rank Xianwu general and now served in the Praetorian Guard. On the surface, he was a royalist and only loyal to the emperor Xiao Qi. But in the coup d'état three years later, he was obviously the third prince Xiao Lingheng's person. As soon as Xiao Lingheng gave the order, he raised the butcher knife to the family.

As soon as the Suiping Bo Mansion fell, Zhong Qinbo drove the original owner out of the mansion and let her die of starvation, in fact, it was not only because he disliked the original owner, but because he was loyal to the new emperor, showing that they had drawn a clear line with all the people involved in the original prince's party.
