(sixty-seven)

"No!" Zhao Chengcai was ashamed and embarrassed. The dream finally became a reality.

Although neither girl squeaked, it silently reminded him of his past disappointment. Whether it was his intention or not, what he did did hurt both of them. And at this moment, there is no need to think much about what to do. As a man, no matter what happens to the person, in front of the person, responsibility always comes first.

So he stopped Zhang Qingting, "You...... Wait, I'm ...... with her Just a few words! ”

Zhang Qingting consciously walked more than a dozen steps away, leaving room for the two to speak alone. She pretended to look at other people's lanterns, but she couldn't help but peek at the afterglow of her eyes.

Not jealousy, but curiosity. What exactly will they say? Or it can also be said that the hobby of gossip is a common problem for all women.

"Sister! Do you want me to break them up? ”

Zhang Jinbao appeared out of nowhere, startled Zhang Qingting, and slapped his younger brother hard, "People are scared to death!" What are you here to do? ”

"We're all here!" Zhang Xiaodie and her two younger brothers all greeted her, and they all craned their necks to look over there.

"Go, go!" Zhang Qingting impatiently lectured them, "Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, don't know about indecent things?" They all love to meddle so much! ”

Several younger siblings were honest, and the youngest Zhang Yuanbao suddenly pointed to the hawker next to the lantern. "Sister, there's a candy seller there!"

I want to rip off again! Zhang Qingting glanced at him with disdain, Zhang Xiaodie looked at her face, and hurriedly taught the younger brother, "Didn't you eat at night?" Gluttonous! ”

Zhang Yuanbao shrank his neck and was silent, and Zhang Xiaodie reported like an ear, "Eldest sister, the two sisters and brothers of the Zhao family have also come out!" ”

What's so strange about that?

Zhang Xiaodie's eyebrows fluttered, "I saw a man pulling and pulling with Zhao Yulan just now, I don't know what to say!" ”

"Be nosy!" Zhang Qingting immediately interrupted her words, and warned them, "You can see what you see, don't go back and talk nonsense, you know?" Anyway, it's not a matter of **, chew less on other people's tongues! ”

"Oh!" A few younger siblings responded.

Zhang Jinbao has been closely monitoring Zhao Xiucai's every move, and said in a low voice at this time, "Brother-in-law came over, he and the woman just said a few words, and they didn't do anything." ”

So what's my business? Zhang Qingting didn't care, "Okay, okay, don't squeak when you go back, you know?" ”

Zhang Xiaodie was surprised, "Sister, why aren't you angry?" ”

"What's so angry?"

"Mother!" Zhao Chengcai came over at a young age and saw the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family, slightly embarrassed, "Let's ...... Let's go home! ”

Zhang Jinbao said suddenly. "Brother-in-law, you can't do anything to be sorry for my sister!"

Which kind of hero do you want to be here? Zhang Qingting glanced at him.

Zhao Chengcai was suddenly embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again, "No, no!" ”

A group of people went home, and it just so happened that the Zhao family sisters and brothers also returned. The latch door is closed, and each rests.

But Zhang Xiaodie pushed the door, but found that the inside was locked, and it took Zhang Facai for a long time to open the door with his pants slightly embarrassed.

Zhang Jinbao muttered, "How old are you, don't add another brother or sister to us when you arrive, that's what you call Xianyan!" ”

Zhang Qingting listened indecently and went back to the room. But I also feel awkward in my heart, this house is indeed a little smaller, not to mention Zhang Facai and his wife, even if several younger siblings are also older, it is indeed not a matter to live together all day long.

and himself and Zhao Chengcai are crowded in two rooms outside here, which is also awkward......

But. It's not something to worry about now, let's talk about it when we have money! Besides, why do you make such a good house yourself? It's not like he left after making money, Zhang Qingting thought about it and put it down.

She entered the house with her front foot, and Zhao Chengcai followed her with her back foot, he couldn't help stroking the hem of his clothes, cramped and embarrassed, "Mother, listen to me...... I'll make it clear to Xiao Tao......"

Is this necessary to explain to me? Zhang Qingting said kindly, "You don't have to tell me about you. Actually, even if you are together again in the future, it doesn't matter. ”

Zhao Chengcai originally felt that no matter whether Zhang Qingting wanted to separate from him in the future, after all, she was now his wife, and she should explain to her, but people didn't care at all, proving that she had no affection for herself at all!

This misrepresentation made him feel even more like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, not a person inside and out.

Fang Cai and Yang Xiaotao are too, just wanted to say that they have already married, and some things have passed. I also want to persuade her not to be sad for herself, and to find a good family to marry.

Yang Xiaotao didn't wait for him to speak, so he took the initiative to say what he wanted to say, and only changed the last sentence to persuade him to live a good life with his mother in the future.

Sure enough, the dream was reversed, and the two women in the dream scrambled to ask him which one to choose. In reality, the two women were scrambling to push him out.

Zhao Chengcai, Zhao Chengcai. It's really embarrassing to be a man and do your job!

He cursed himself for deserving it, and turned around and walked out of the room.

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival passed like this.

When he got up early the morning of the second day, Zhang Qingting took out the silver ticket of 180 taels from the rouge box, estimated that it was enough, and was about to go out with Zhao Chengcai after packing up. Zhao Wang's family really wanted Zhao Chengdong to follow, and Zhang Jinbao also wanted to go.

Zhao Chengcai made an excuse that he still wanted to see the official, but it was inconvenient to bring people, so he resolutely refused.

"Then let your brother follow your daughter-in-law, it's okay to make a move!" Zhao Wang's family still stopped him from going out.

Zhang Qingting sneered, "My business hasn't opened yet, what do you want to do?" It's not a mountain of gold and silver waiting for someone to move! Mother-in-law, didn't you say that you still have to grind wheat today? How can it be justified that these two people did not follow you to help at a young age, but followed us young people? In my opinion, you don't have to! When the deal is really settled, you will have your own help! ”

At this moment, both families had nothing to say.

Zhao Wangshi secretly stomped his feet, but he could only watch his daughter-in-law walk away. She was secretly ruthless, let the two families take action, and quickly send all the wheat to grind, and must intervene as soon as possible before Zhang Qingting's business opens!

Here, Zhang Qingting first went to the money village and exchanged the white flowers for one hundred and eighty taels of silver. Zhao Chengcai was really taken aback, knowing that his mother had a little money, but he didn't expect there to be so much!

A large bag of silver was heavily carried in his arms, and Zhao Chengcai even added a little caution when he left, tightly guarding his chest, lest he be snatched away.

Zhang Qingting took him to the silk shop to say hello to the boss first, and then hired a small sedan chair to pick up Fang Dehai's grandson.

Ten taels of shining silver settled on the table, Fang Dehai was very satisfied, and immediately followed her to the silk shop.

Look inside and outside, the first two rooms are shops. Inside is the storeroom. There is a small courtyard at the back, and there are two small ear rooms, which are originally a place for people to watch the store, and can be converted into a kitchen. Small is a little small, but this deal is not big, and it is enough to squeeze it.

The owner of the silk shop is surnamed Liu, and he is very shrewd. Seeing that Zhang Qingting sincerely wanted to rent, the price was dead or alive. Zhang Qingting has no experience after all, although he tried his best, but after talking, he finally finalized it one by one according to his intentions.

For the year of lease, the rent is ten taels per year, and the annual rent must be paid in one lump sum.

Boss Liu agreed to let them do the brine, but when the lease period expired, Zhang Qingting had to be responsible for repainting the house inside and out.

At the same time, so much cloth in the store was sold to Zhang Qingting at a total price of one or twenty taels of silver.

Because Zhang Qingting really didn't need his original counters, only this one was Boss Liu was willing to back down, and the furniture was moved away by himself, exempting the twenty taels of silver for this item.

When it was time to write and paint in the end, Boss Liu proposed that if the doors and windows of this house were damaged and the roof was leaking, Zhang Qingting would have to be responsible for repairing and maintaining it, and when it was handed back, he would have to repaint and paste paper.

Zhang Qingting was speechless, thinking to himself if this house is old and has to make me younger?

But this is all about this, and if you don't agree, you have to agree.

One by one, Boss Liu carefully checked that it was correct, and then he found Baojia to be a middle-aged person and signed and drawn.

The money was paid twice, Zhao Chengcai took the contract and the armor to go to the government to apply for a certificate for the record, and this Zhang Qingting accompanied the ancestors of the Fang family to purchase all the necessary materials.

Boiler pans, cutting boards, kitchen knives, spices and medicinal materials, Fang Dehai is picky, and everything must be prepared exquisitely. This time, the more than ten taels of silver in Zhang Qingting's hand were used cleanly.

She realized what it means to spend money like running water, and if there is still that piece of gold left, there will be not much left after buying the meat in two days.

It's a gamble! Zhang Qingting didn't dare to think about it, if this business was lost, would she have to?

Fang Dehai took the medicinal herbs, took his granddaughter and went back in a sedan chair to clean up.

This Zhang Qingting took those utensils back to the store, and as soon as she entered the store, she gasped.

Then Boss Liu is not authentic! After receiving her money, the cloth was no longer cherished, and was thrown to the ground in a mess, only to move his counter furniture out.

In the end, she was embarrassed to be cheeky and asked her for car money, and according to Zhang Qingting's original temper, she was bound to get angry, but she was now the owner of the house, and she couldn't afford to offend, so she lit up her purse with a cold face, "Boss Liu, look, I have so many left, if you don't dislike it, take it all!" ”

Boss Liu really poured it all in his hands, and smiled, "Xiucai Niang, since there is no money for this car, I will take two more pieces of cloth!" ”

Saying that, he took two pieces of the best silk and left, making Zhang Qingting so angry that he was about to vomit blood. But when you calm down and think about it, it is indeed your own negligence.

When people asked her for money and things, it was a pile of piles, and each item was listed clearly and clearly. But when he collected the cloth himself, he saw a lot, so he didn't carefully count and make a detailed registration. People just dragged it all away, and they couldn't say it clearly. Even if you suffer a loss, you have to admit that you are unlucky, this is a lack of experience!

Think of it as spending money to buy a lesson! Zhang Qingting suppressed the anger in his heart, and first according to Old Man Fang's request, he instructed the men to put the things in place.

When Zhao Chengcai finished the formalities and came over, he saw Zhang Qingting squatting on the ground alone, counting the cloth one by one.

In this case, you have to find a helper, "Mother! How did it get like this? I'll go back and call them to help! ”

Zhang Qingting waved his hand, "We said those words this morning, no matter what, your mother won't let people come, and besides, they are all here, and it won't help much if they come!" ”

"Then I'll help you!"

Zhao Chengcai started to re-stack the cloth in the warehouse, and Zhang Qingting took the pen and paper to register according to different colors and textures, Zhao Chengcai After all, people who have read books have clear brains, and they will clean up much faster. But when the two of them put the cloth away, it was dark.

After calculating the total value, Zhang Qingting estimated that these cloths could be sold for eighty taels, which would be considered thank God. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, "I finally know what it means to do business now!" This was a good lesson for me on the first day of the day. ”

Zhao Chengcai persuaded, "We laymen, we always have to suffer some losses when we first enter the road, take your time!" We quickly locked the door and went home, it has been so long, and the family doesn't know where we are, so we should be in a hurry. ”

Suddenly, a discordant grunt sound came from Zhang Qingting's stomach.

Only then did she feel that she was hungry and thirsty, so she was busy, and she didn't have the heart to think about it, but now that she was done, she felt that her stomach was on fire. His face flushed slightly, and then he remembered, "It turns out that I haven't eaten at noon!" ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled, "You are invested." Suddenly, his belly also sang about the empty city.

"You must not have eaten either, did you?" Seeing that he acquiesced, Zhang Qingting said with a smile, "Then let's go home quickly!" ”

But just as he was about to lift his feet, he suddenly thought, "What about these goods?" ”

Zhao Chengcai was also a little hesitant, "Yes, it's still so clothy!" Otherwise, I'll stay, you go back, and let Cheng Dong bring me some food." ”

Zhang Qingting took a look, "Forget it, let's go back first." It shouldn't be that anyone wants it, so I'll come back early tomorrow in the morning, just overnight, it shouldn't matter. ”

"Have you figured out what to do with all these cloths?"

Zhang Qingting frowned, "Don't ask me, I'm dying of sorrow!" I hope to sell it at a low price. ”

Zhao Chengcai was a little reluctant, "It's a pity to spend so much money to buy it in, and to lose it!" Don't worry, let's think about it slowly and see if there are any good ideas. ”

"But this shop can't afford to delay, I paid the rent, and it's money every day! If you open the door and do business, not to mention that there is no place to put so much cloth, it is barely piled here, and it will be smoked out in two days. Ming'er, I'll go to a few shops over there and ask if they are willing to take over. ”

"That's a good thing. However, if you lose a lot of money, I suggest you stay out for the time being, or just take it home, the house where I live is very empty, and there is more than enough cloth for it, just lay a layer of wood on the ground! ”

"Ming'er, I'll talk about it after I ask, but I can't pull it back if I can't do it."

The two of them said as they cleaned up.

Zhao Chengcai was very careful in his work, and he deliberately checked it at the back, closed the windows in each room, put down the latch, locked the door, and then turned out the lights and candles.

Walking on the street, the pedestrians are gradually decreasing, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, the moon is sixteen round in the fifteenth, and the place is clear and bright.

Zhang Qingting wanted to have a meal on the street and then go back, but when he thought about the silver in his pocket and the expenses he was about to face, he still dispelled this idea. It's better to save a little and go home to make do with it.

Zhao Chengcai suddenly remembered, "Oh! The contract is still with me, and it's in both of our names. Master Chen said that some taxes cannot be exempted, but there are a few items that can be exempted, as long as there is my name, I will add your name as well. Keep it for you! ”

Zhang Qingting took it, "Thank you!" ”

"Thank me for what? It's just a name. I have to thank you! Luckily, you reminded me, and I stopped by when I was there to do some errands today. Sure enough, as you said, it turned out that the little man who was guarding the family was stubborn, and he couldn't do it for long after hiring several teachers. Nakio must have been unable to do it himself, so he wanted to recommend me. How do you know, though? ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "This is simple!" The husband is not too old, and he is not sick or sick, so why not do such a good errand? There's definitely something wrong with that. Speaking of which, this official's private school is both easy and difficult to do. If you meet a good one, the teacher and student will vote for the contract, and the owner will be harmonious, and it will be a shortcut to ensure that you become an official or take the exam in the future. But if you don't meet it well, it's a lot of effort and offense, and it's someone else's ability to teach it well, and if you don't teach it well, it's all on your head. You're still so young, and you're not famous, and you can't suppress people with a tender face, and it's not easy to do this errand. It's better to think about something else! ”

Zhao Chengcai nodded yes, and suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that the daily use of the family is so big, and I always rely on you to make up for it, I stay like this all the time, and I am really anxious." ”

Zhang Qingting said, "Didn't you say last time that the master wanted you to stand up for a while?" If you really want to find something to do, you might as well do him a favor! ”

"Is this appropriate? I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, I will offend people. ”

"You have a point, but what should you do not take a risk? Do you want me to make this deal, do you want to make a profit without losing money? When you go to that yamen, you are dealing with official business, which is much more insightful than being a private school teacher. What's more, following the county lord, you can recognize a few people, which is also a workout for yourself. As a newcomer, you are diligent and inquisitive in everything, and even if there is a small mistake, everyone can understand. ”

"What you said is very true, otherwise, I will go again tomorrow and talk to Master Chen. If you help him do a good job, this can be regarded as a favor for him, and when he talks in the future, the relationship will be even better. Even if he is incompetent, at most it will be a few months, and when he comes back and returns it, he can be regarded as knowing his depth. ”

"It's best what you can think."

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the doorstep.

It was still Zhao Yulan who came to answer the door, and Zhao Chengcai said when they met, "Yulan, go and get us something to eat, we're all starving to death!" ”

Zhao Yulan was stunned, "You didn't eat?" ”

"Yes! What's wrong? ”

"Mother...... I didn't have any food left at home. ”

Zhao Chengcai was stunned, how could this be? If the two of them didn't come back, how could they not stay for dinner? It's clearly the mother's intention!
