Chapter 22: Not Eligible

Seeing that the money was about to run out completely, Zhou Jingxuan frowned, and suddenly remembered that when he was in the academy in the past, his best friend Yuan Yuyan came.

That Yuan Yuhan is one year older than Zhou Jingxuan, and he has been Zhou Jingxuan's staunchest follower since he was a child, and he usually does a lot of things like stealing melons and picking dates.

However, there was the notorious Zhou Jingxuan in front of him, and the attention of the masters rarely fell on him.

When he left the academy that day, Yuan Yunyang also repeatedly advised: When there is really nowhere to go, come to find yourself!

This Yuan Yanyan's parents are vegetable farmers, and they have been working in the vegetable field for many years.

If you can bring yourself to set up a stall in it, sell fruits and vegetables. It's also good to have a place to stay, and to fill your stomach by the way.

Zhou Jingxuan had great hopes for this.

It was morning, and it wasn't time for school.

Zhou Jingxuan thought that Yuan Yuhan must be in the vegetable market at this time, so he carried his luggage and baggage on his back and looked for it with Shi Zhongzhu.

At this time, the stall owners in the vegetable market are in full swing to clean up their stalls. Because it was too early, there were few grocery buyers at this time.

When Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant found Yuan Yuhan, he was helping his father unload vegetables and get out of the car.

Yuan Yunyan's father was five big and three thick, and when he saw Zhou Jingxuan carrying a burden, he said that he had nowhere to go. Suddenly raised his eyebrows angrily, picked up a flat pole and hit Zhou Jingxuan:

"My family was spoiled by you little rabbit! It's good that I didn't bother you! I can't imagine that you, a rabbit cub, dare to come to the door! Look at Lao Tzu if he doesn't kill you today! ”

Zhou Jingxuan was so frightened that he dodged left and right, and he didn't have time to say the purpose of this trip, so he pulled Shi Zhongzhu and fled.

And Yuan Yuhan was so frightened that he stood in place, and he didn't dare to come out, let alone say half a word of pleading!

Unable to take refuge with their classmates, the master and servant walked on the street again in a daze, only hating the wrong person they had befriended.

While the two of them were depressed, they saw two servants dressed as thieves come and ask them if they were looking for work.

Shi Zhongzhu changed the melancholy just now, put on a flattering smile and nodded again and again, saying that as long as their master and servant have a place to stay, they can suffer any hardship!

The two introduced themselves and said that they were from Lord Situ Wei's house. One is called Wei Yilong, and the other is called Wei Yihu, who was ordered to come out for the house and find two nursing homes, as long as they are young and can bear hardships and stand hard work!

Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant were all overjoyed when they saw this, saying that they just met this condition, and asked Wei Yilong when he could go to work?

Wei Yilong looked at the burden behind Shi Zhongzhu, and then spoke slowly: "This has to be approved by the chief manager!"

"Then take us to your chief manager!" Zhou Jingxuan was already impatient.

The two nodded, and then walked around one after the other, taking Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant to the outside of a secluded courtyard.

After arriving at the place, Wei Yilong suddenly said that he wanted to make it easier, and turned to the side.

Wei Yihu went to knock on the door.

Out of it came a black-robed man in his forties and fifties, with a fat head and big ears, who claimed to be the chief steward Wei Cisheng.

He looked at Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant condescendingly, and then slowly asked where they were from?

Zhou Jingxuan hurriedly said that he was a native of the country, and because of sudden changes and running out of money, the two of them ended up on the streets.

Wei Cisheng's face changed when he heard this, and he glared at Wei Yihu: "You are fooling around!"

Wei Yihu was dumbfounded all of a sudden: Obviously, they said that they had no relatives in the capital, and they were carrying bags, so I brought them here? Why didn't you ask where they were from?

Now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod at the black-robed man: "Their conditions are not bad, and I hope the big director will take them in."

Wei Cisheng frowned and waved his hand: "You don't meet the regulations!" After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to answer, and went in directly and closed the courtyard door.

Wei Yihu looked at Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant with a difficult face: "Two, I'm really sorry, originally our general manager wanted to recruit a few people from other places, so that they can be more conscientious." Who knows that I didn't ask about the situation just now, please forgive me! ”

"We don't have anything to worry about!" Shi Zhongzhu cared very much about this opportunity.

But Wei Yihu didn't allow them to explain, and directly made a gesture of please.

With all that said, Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

Perhaps because he was afraid that they would not find their way back, Wei Yihu was busy leading the way in front and sent them to the street, and then turned around and walked away after a few more apologies.

Shi Zhongzhu saw that Wei Yihu had made several detours when he sent them, although he felt strange, he didn't ask too much.

The two of them had not gone far when they saw a young man dressed in coarse linen clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old, walking around.

As soon as this guy saw them, his eyes suddenly glowed: "Hey! Do you have the surname Zhou? ”

Shi Zhongzhu didn't know why, but nodded: "In Xia Shi Zhongzhu, my son-in-law is surnamed Zhou."

The guy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then introduced himself and said that his name was Steak, and he was an apprentice of Xingshantang, and now he came over on the order of the boss and asked them if they would like to be a buddy in Xingshantang?

Shi Zhongzhu nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and promised that as long as the boss was willing, he could endure any hardship!

After Fang Cai's outing, Zhou Jingxuan felt that there was no such good thing, maybe he was fooling himself again.

He pulled Shi Zhongzhu and told him not to be fooled: "We are not related to that Boss Jia, why is he so kind to let us go?"

Although he heard that Boss Na Jia was not a good person, Shi Zhongzhu still decided to give it a try: "What are you afraid of?"

Xingshantang is engaged in the business of medicinal materials, in addition to steak, there is also a gentleman who is responsible for catching medicine: surnamed Feng, fifty or sixty years old, known as Mr. Feng.

The owner, Jia Renci, is a shrewd old man in his forties with a short, dense beard.

He stared at Zhou Jingxuan for a long time with slanted triangular eyes, and then looked at Shi Zhongzhu again, and then opened his mouth slowly: "Although the old man was entrusted by a friend to take you in, if you don't work seriously, the old man will not be merciful!"

"Entrusted by a friend?" Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly asked Boss Jia who was entrusted by?

Boss Jia shook his head: "No comment!" ”

After he explained what Zhou Jingxuan's master and servant had to do, he asked the steak to take them to familiarize themselves with the environment first.

Although the salary is not high, as long as you can eat and live!

After putting down his luggage, Shi Zhongzhu took Zhou Jingxuan to the street to buy some daily necessities.

On the way back, I met Yuan Yuhan.

At this time, Yuan Yuhan was sweating profusely, his fat face was red and red from the sun, and the gray cloth coat he was wearing was also torn apart.

Seeing them, Yuan Yuhan was extremely happy, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his dusty sleeve robe, and gasped and shouted: "Do you know? I've been looking for you for a long time! ”
