Chapter 17: The Apprentice

Lu Jian'an took the deed and looked at it, it was indeed a contract signed by five people as an apprentice, which not only had his signature and pledge, but also the parents of the family who had to sign and pledge.

Putting it in his arms, he clenched his fists, "I'm sorry everyone, I'll go first." ”

Swaggered and led the five dejected apprentices home.

Xu Mengshan glanced at Master Cao, turned his head, rolled up his sleeves, and hurriedly chased after Lu Jian'an.

Just kidding, what do you need to do with someone else now?

His own house guards a mountain of gold, and he has to go to others to ask for stones.

Isn't that a brain disease?

"Sixth brother, sixth brother wait for me, wait for me."

Boss Zhao stopped Xu Mengshan, "Little Brother Xu, you won't take that bet." ”

Today, Boss Zhao can be regarded as a victory.

This bet made him earn more than 20 taels of silver.

After all, this bet is small-scale, and no one can see Lu Jian'an, so naturally there are fewer people who gamble.

But this innocent only has two more months of income, and Boss Zhao is naturally happy.

The only one who won the bet today was probably this Xu Gongzi.

It's amazing, 100 Wen is twenty times over.

It's two taels of silver.

Xu Mengshan suddenly realized that the 100 Wen he had just made was a mistake, and he exchanged his bet for two taels of silver, so he hurriedly chased after Lu Jian'an.

Lu Jian'an led the five apprentices to go home at this time, and he had already arrived at home.

Five people, look at me! I look at you and think about what to do in the future.

As soon as Mama Li saw Lu Jian'an coming back, she was still leading five men and women, and she didn't know what good things her young master had done.

"Young Master, what is this?"

I was worried in my heart, I didn't know what kind of turmoil their family should encounter, this Young Master Lu was fine, and his kung fu was first-class.

"These five will be our apprentices in the future, Mama Li, please help them arrange a room, one for men and one for women, of course, look at the bedding they should have brought, and the food and accommodation will be in our house in the future."

Lu Jian'an instructed Mama Li, but Mama Li was startled by these words.

"Apprentice? What apprentice? ”

When did their family have more apprentices, you must know that Mama Li is a native of Fengshan County, how can she not know the term apprentice, but their family has neither mulberry fields to raise silkworms, nor can they reel silk, what do they want apprentices to do.

That's five mouths.

I have to eat and drink every day, Mama Li naturally knows what the situation is at home, and the silver given by the old man is barely enough for a year and a half for their family to chew, not to mention that there are five more mouths now, what is the young master going to do?

Isn't this a loser!

couldn't help but widen her eyes, and the expression on her face could easily reveal her inner dissatisfaction.

"Yes, they are all apprentices, I am going to buy mulberry fields to raise silkworms and reel silk after a while, but there is a shortage of manpower, the five of them are the master Cao of the Cao family silk workshop today lost to me, and it takes no effort to get it. You just look at the arrangement. Lu Jian'an doesn't like those trivial things, but now it's not her in the research institute, so she doesn't need to think about anything.

Mama Li opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after looking at Lu Jian'an's face, she also understood that she had no room to speak here at all.

Twisting around and shouting to the five people, "Let's go!" I'll give you a place to stay. ”

She is a slave at most, and she is also a slave without a deed of sale, even if Lu Jian'an has no money, she is also the master.

The five apprentices silently followed Mama Li to the side room, this courtyard is so big, as soon as the five people squeeze in, they immediately feel overstretched.

Mama Li instructed them to clean the house where they lived, thinking that no one lived in it a few days ago, and the two rooms had not been cleaned up.

"Really followed Master Lu like this?" Wei Ran stabbed Luo Qing beside him, the two of them knew each other when they were young, and they were also selected by the family to send to the Cao Family Silk Workshop this time! Expect them to learn silk reeling techniques and go back to revitalize the family.

Now that he has gone directly from the Cao family's silk workshop to the Lu family, he doesn't even have a silk workshop, and the reputation of this young master Lu is like thunder.

People are stupid and have a lot of money!

Who doesn't know that Fengshan County has a stupid second fool young master who spends money to buy waste cocoons.

Luo Qing gritted her teeth, she was only twelve years old, she was originally planned to come here, but now she didn't expect such a fork, now that the contract is in Lu Jian'an's hands, they can't run even if they want to.

It's not a good thing to run away and wait for them, this time they run, and which silk mill will dare to accept them in the future.

"Let's do it first! I look at this Master Lu is probably also an embroidered pillow, you look at this place like a silk reeling silk mill, we endure it, I don't believe it, he can't move us, he will drive us out if he is angry. As long as we are kicked out, it will be easy to do, but it's not that we run away, it's too stupid and dull, Master doesn't want it, it's no wonder that we can't do it. ”

He had a good brain, so he naturally came up with a solution.

"Really! I watched Master Lu know how to reel silk, and I still wanted to stay and study. Wei Ran was a little puzzled, she really moved her mind.

"You are stupid, that Master Lu doesn't look like he knows how to reel silk with his hands, I'm just afraid that he just happened to have luck with cooked silk in his arms, and he won Master Cao, otherwise have you heard that someone in Fengshan County can reel cooked silk? If he knows how to reel silk, I, Luo Qing, will sell myself to the Lu family for the rest of my life, and I will not regret it for the rest of my life. Luo Qing didn't believe Lu Jian'an at all.

Wei Ran's somewhat heart-warming thoughts were also extinguished at once.

yes, it's greasy.

Wouldn't he be happy in vain?

Cooked silk!

That's cooked silk.

If they can reel cooked silk, their silk mill business is at least twice as high, then there is no need to live so tightly, they have seen those cooked silk merchants who come up to buy raw silk, they are all graceful and luxurious, with thousands of waists, and they are still fresh in people's memories.

There was some disappointment on his face.

The other three apprentices were poor people's children, Ergouzi, Xu Sanjin and Cheng Sanhu, they didn't think so much when they arrived, they thought that they were shallow, anyway, they always didn't suffer a loss by following Wei Ran and Luo Qing.

Finally settled down.

In the hall outside, Xu Mengshan had already chased after him, still carrying a roast chicken in his hand, in his words, how could the door of his aunt's house be empty-handed.

I won two taels of silver today.

A mere roast chicken is only fifty yuan, anyway, this money was won by Lu Jian'an, so it is natural to give gifts to the Lu family.

So I carried the roast chicken into the door.

Mama Li was a little dumbfounded, when did this eldest prince know so much about etiquette.

Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?
