Chapter 042: A New Beginning
East City.
Zhao Erlang looked at a few ruffians at the door, sighed helplessly, and instructed the young man: "Shangmenban, let's close today!" ”
"Big shopkeeper, we've been resting for almost a month, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid ...... shop will be closed forever."
The second shopkeeper brought Zhao Erlang a cup of hot tea and said anxiously.
"These bastards are blocking the door every day, we don't close the door and have no business, why bother watching them get angry?" Zhao Erlang took the teacup and took a big sip angrily, wishing that this cup of tea was those ruffians outside, and it could be swallowed by him in one gulp.
"Big shopkeeper, why don't you go to the industrial park and borrow a few women's soldiers?"
The second shopkeeper sighed and followed behind Zhao Erlang, thought for a long time, and suggested.
"The Detachment of Women?" Zhao Erlang shook his head, he smiled bitterly, "Since the owner was taken away by Qianniuwei, our women's army here has withdrawn to the industrial park. And the industrial park has long been donated to the imperial court by Dongjiale, and it has nothing to do with us, even if I ask for it with my face, I may not be able to invite it. ”
"That, the big shopkeeper, the small, the small one has a problem, don't be angry, do you think the owner can come back."
The second shopkeeper quietly looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Huh? Why do you ask? Is something wrong? ”
Zhao Erlang has been on the street for so long, and he is no longer a second stunned person who has just entered the capital, and after listening to the words of the second shopkeeper, he knows that he has another deep meaning.
"Big shopkeeper, don't you think those thugs outside the door are a little strange? Even if our owner was arrested by the government, but you have been operating in the capital for several years, and you have made a lot of friends up and down. ”
"I've also thought about this, and now there are only two families who can tear off their faces to embarrass our 'Wang Ji', one is the Zhao family of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, and the other is the Zheng family." Zhao Erlang put the teacup on the table, lightly pressed his index finger on the counter, and slowly analyzed: "However, the Zheng family is now busy competing with the Cui family, the queen's maiden family, and it is estimated that they will not be able to deal with the owner for a while." Then there is only one Zhao family left, but I don't understand, the owner has long had nothing to do with the Zhao family, why did they use such indiscriminate means to deal with us? ”
"By the way, the little one remembered," the second shopkeeper has also worked in the store for two or three years, and he knows more about the grievances between the owner and her ex-husband, he slapped his head and said, "Big shopkeeper, do you remember, we still have two shops of the Zhao family in our hands, which were specially allocated by President Zhao to make pocket money for the little young master back then." You said, did the Zhao family do this to let us return the shop? ”
"Two shops, he just wants to open his mouth, why make such a posture?" Zhao Erlang thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, things are never that simple. In this way, you go and inquire to see who wants to fight our idea, and what big moves the Zhao family has made recently. ”
"Yes, big shopkeeper!"
While the two shopkeepers were chatting behind the counter, a young man quietly flashed out of the shop, ran to the street entrance, and turned into the alley, where a young man about twenty years old in a blue robe was waiting for him...... Does the second young master have any instructions? ”
"You don't have to worry about these, first bring those people to the second young master, and when the shop arrives, your benefits are indispensable, maybe you will be the second shopkeeper!" The man in blue nodded, focused on telling the young man some things, and finally drew a big pie to lure him.
"Well, Brother Jiu, don't worry, the little one must do a good job for the second young master."
With that, the young man ran back to the shop again.
The man in blue scolded him silently at his back, stupid. He saw that there was no one left and right, so he quietly left the alley, turned around and came to an elegant teahouse, went up to the second floor, came to the private room, and returned to the master.
"Good job, let them continue tomorrow," Zhao Tianqing nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Also, the person I asked you to find, did you find it." ”
"Back to the second young master, I have found it, he is very shrewd, he looks very honest, and he knows the roots, he is not afraid of his tricks."
"Okay, at this time, the master is in a hurry to let me go home, I don't have time to see him, and when I have free tomorrow, you call him, and I will take the school to test him." Whether or not you can get those shops over this time depends on whether this person can succeed or not. When Zhao Tianqing thought of the shop that was about to arrive, he felt happy from head to toe.
It's a pity that his good mood didn't last long, as soon as he entered the main courtyard, he saw his father chatting lovingly with a white young man, and his mother was also smiling and accompanying him, a happy scene of father and mother's love.
Secretly gritting his teeth, Zhao Tianqing put out a fake smile, came closer, waved his hand and said, "Father, mother," then put down his hand and nodded at the white young man, "Third brother, what do you say to your father, so happy?" ”
"Second brother, are you back? Hehe, my father is telling me about the rules of our Confucian Chamber of Commerce, and said okay, after I officially take over the Zhao Bank, he will lead me into the Confucian Chamber of Commerce. ”
Third Young Master Zhao smiled innocently, but a pair of clear eyes flashed with an inexplicable essence.
"Okay, good!"
Zhao Tianqing's heart was entangled, he knew that as soon as the third child came back, his good days would come to an end. No, I worked hard to do such a thing for the Zhao family's business, and as a result, I cheapened this kid.
In order to wait for the third child, my father insisted on postponing the certification conference of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce for half a year, which was really biased to the horizon.
"Okay, I'll let you go to Qingzhou to pick up the children, when are you going? Well, do you have to let everyone in the capital know that you are useless, and you can't even support your own son? ”
As soon as he saw Zhao Tianqing, the smile on Zhao Yongnian's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, he snorted, scolded angrily.
"Father, I've been busy buying a few shops in the past two days, and when the business is over, I'll pick it up, don't worry!"
Because the child was scolded by his father again, Zhao Tianqing hated that little in his heart, and really wanted to find someone to kill him outside, so as not to embarrass him and be scolded again.
"Hmph, as soon as possible, the wind direction outside has been a little wrong recently, if Li Jingtian is out of prison, it is impossible for you to take the child back. At that point, you'll be laughed at for the rest of your life. ”
Zhao Yongnian looked at his second son with disgust, his disappointment in his heart had reached the highest point, if it weren't for the fact that he could still maintain the relationship with the Zheng family, he would have driven this useless son out long ago.
"Yes, Father!"
Zhao Tianqing replied, and kept praying in his heart, it is best to lock up Li Jingtian for the rest of his life, oh, no, it is better to directly push out the pair of adulterers and adulteresses and behead them.
To say that God is really busy enough, some people here beg it to kill, and some people over there begged it to let people go.
Cui Yunniang borrowed the kitchen of the inn, cleaned her hands, and made zongzi with Mama Qin.
"Girl, you don't know, it's lively outside now, many people have gone to help the Guogong Mansion to intercede, the old slave pondered, this time the Li family must be fine."
Mama Qin couldn't stop laughing, oops, her little lady is smart, this time Mrs. Li must remember Yun Niang's good, maybe she can still make the decision to go to Yun Niang to enter the door to be a flat wife for Li Meng.
"My aunt has always been a blessed person, and God will bless her." Will bless me even more, Cui Yunniang dexterously put the zongzi leaves into a bucket shape with both hands, put a date at the bottom, and then filled it with glutinous rice, while wrapping the zongzi, while thinking about a better future with a smile.
"But it's not, oh, God bless, hurry up and let Mrs. Gu and Young Master Cousin come out safely!"
That's right, but it would be better if Wang Qiniang could continue to stay in prison. Cui Yunniang held the wrapped zongzi, bent the corners of her mouth, and prayed happily.
It's just that heaven is heaven after all, and it is impossible to fulfill everyone's wishes, no, the door of the prison was opened, Li Jingtian supported Mrs. Li, followed by Wang Qifang, and the three of them were finally pardoned and released from prison today.
"Aunt, Jingtian, I have a house in Ping'anfang, why don't you go to me and rest for a while."
Wang Qifang was really helpless, just now she wanted to support Mrs. Li, but she took the slap that was very shameless by others, and the back of her hand was still red at this moment.
"The Li family has a house in the capital!"
Mrs. Li replied coldly, and then as if she thought of something, she turned her head to look at Wang Qifang and asked, "Although you have been married once, as a future mother-in-law, I still want to ask you, how are your female celebrities and cooking skills?" ”
"It's okay!"
Wang Qifang was a little weak-hearted and returned weakly.
"Humph! What is this called, good is good, bad is bad, what is okay? ”
Mrs. Li was very dissatisfied, the more she looked at Wang Qiniang, the more unpleasant she became, but when she thought that Wang Qiniang was still loyal to the Li family, and she had passed the biggest test, even if she was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law, I am afraid she would be forced to accept it.
Since she couldn't change this fact, Mrs. Li decided to train Wang Qiniang well, at least not to let her lose the face of the Li family, "That's it, when I return to the Li family, I will send you two capable grandmothers, you, you follow them to study hard!" ”
"I-" Wang Qifang's face was a little ugly when she heard this, and she was just about to refute when she saw Li Jingtian winking at her...... Well, for Li Jingtian's sake, I endured it, "Thank you, aunt." ”
"Tian'er, don't forget to inquire about Yun Niang's news, and if you find her, you will quickly pick me up, she has a daughter who is alone outside, I don't feel at ease."
The choice of daughter-in-law can't be changed, but she can still help her son make decisions with her wife and concubine, especially Yun Niang, she will never treat this child badly
