Chapter 107: There is a backer
After checking the pulse, Zhang Xu found a reason to ask her to come out, as if she didn't want to worry about her father anymore.
"Dad, the meal is ready, you eat some first."
"The guests haven't eaten yet." Zhang's father knows etiquette very well, unlike an ordinary farmer.
"I see."
After saying that, Zhang Xu came out with her, he poured a cup of tea for Mu Jiaren, and said in a low voice.
"Childe, how is it?"
"Why don't you ask the doctor to come and see it? If it is treated well, there is still hope for recovery. ”
Zhang Xu was embarrassed: "The medicine prescribed by the doctor is very expensive, I ...... it"
"I know a recipe that the medicine in it is not expensive, and taking it for a month can alleviate the problem of leg pain, but if you want to cure it, you do need relatively expensive herbs."
"Thank you, Childe, I am already grateful for being able to alleviate my father's pain."
"You all live on odd jobs? Livelihood ...... family before"
"I ...... My father was the only scholar in the village, and later took the test and became a county magistrate, but the place was bitter cold and remote, and the perennial harvest was not good, and finally my father was demoted, and he came back with these diseases. ”
Mu Jiaren understands that it is naturally difficult to be a county magistrate in a poor place, and he is a foreigner, if there is no political performance, plus the people make trouble, it is easy to be deposed.
No wonder she is quite knowledgeable when she sees the Zhang family's father and son talking.
Mu Jiaren wrote the recipe to him, Zhang Xu also left her to have a light meal, although there were no new things in her house, but the clothes of several people were very tidy, and the night in the house was very good.
"Are you literate?"
Zhang Xu nodded.
"Why don't you go to the fame test?"
"I'm not interested in a career."
"Have you ever thought about what to do in the future? Do odd jobs like this all the time? ”
"I ...... I don't have any skills, so I can do more work and find some stable work when I'm older. ”
"Do you keep accounts?"
"Yes."
"I don't have an accounting room, do you want to come?"
Zhang Xu was stunned and looked at Mu Jiaren in disbelief.
"Childe...... I...... May I? ”
"Yes, you are so filial and diligent, I think it's good."
Originally, Rong Qianyu recommended him, and he was a local, and when he came to the house, he felt that he was a good person, so Mu Jiaren decided immediately.
"However, I'm afraid that I can't do it, I haven't done the accounting ......"
"You can't learn, as long as you don't make mistakes."
After finishing speaking, Mu Jiaren planned to go back, but the Zhang family father and son repeatedly wanted to keep her, saying that she was the benefactor of the family, and Mu Jiaren couldn't postpone it any longer, so she lived in one of the tiled houses.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xu went to grab the medicine, and then went to the store, and Mu Jiaren explained the matter to them.
Now that the steward and the bookkeeper are in place, the name will be given.
Bao Shijie immediately spoke: "Isn't it the Jiangnan Hides Shop?" ”
"Slap" Mu Jiaren slapped him directly on the back of the head, "The shops that are all closed are still called this name, is it unlucky!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Bao Shijie nodded again and again: "Or, call it Maofang?" ”
"Your house is a thatched house!"
Bao Shijie grabbed her head, she was not good at this kind of thing.
Zhang Xu didn't like to talk, he was listening to them silently on the side, Mu Jiaren thought about it, this shop was an accident, and these people also got together unintentionally.
"It's called Ruyifang, we all have our own ideas, meet when we need to, and hope that it will go smoothly in the future."
"What a name!" Bao Shijie praised.
Zhang Xu also nodded and said okay with a smile.
The next thing is to see what to sell, although there are animal skins, but still prepare some other business, the fastest money is agriculture and animal husbandry.
"If there is a piece of land, there are many ways."
After Mu Jiaren finished speaking, Zhang Xu said weakly: "Without land, is the mountain useful?" ”
"Mountain? Which one are you talking about? ”
"The mountain behind my house...... Yes, all. ”
"How many?"
"Two ......"
Mu Jiaren grabbed his arm: "All belong to your family?" ”
Zhang Xu nodded stunnedly: "Yes, but it has been deserted for many years, and my father has relied on fame, and the village has given our family a few barren mountains." ”
Bao Shijie also nodded: "The barren mountain is really useless, the trees above are cut down and you have to invite people, and the barren mountain doesn't even have rabbits, and people occasionally go to pick up some firewood, and there is no other use." ”
"Will you rent the mountain to me?"
Do you still care if it's deserted?
"You don't need to rent, Childe will give it to you if you want." Zhang Xu felt that this was nothing.
Mu Jiaren thought for a while: "You better make a price, I'll buy one, and you can rent the rest." ”
Zhang Xu was a little embarrassed: "I really don't need money." ”
"How about a hundred taels?"
Bao Shijie was unhappy after hearing this: "Childe, a barren mountain is not worth so much money, and ten taels of silver are more than wrong." ”
Zhang Xu listened: "Then five taels, no need for ten taels, I'll go back and get the title deed." ”
The reason why Zhangjiaying is poor is also because there is no land, at that time, his father took the fame test, and the village did not send the field but gave him the useless barren mountain, which is a kind of mindfulness that does not cost money.
After the things at hand were all done, the Ruyi Workshop also opened, and several stores contacted by Bao Shijie made clothes and accessories according to the patterns selected by Mu Jiaren, and she also received some sachets made of embroidery, which were equipped with herbs that could treat some daily diseases.
After the goods are ready, Ruyi Fang is lively and lively.
Zhang Xu's mountain gave Mu Jiaren one, and she asked someone to plant peach groves and plum forests, another one planted sorghum and corn, and another planted walnuts.
Half a month has passed since the whole busy survive, and Zhang Xu and Bao Shijie have also changed from their previous rush to becoming organized.
She decided that she could go to the capital.
instructed Bao Shijie to go to Fuhuaxuan to ask Rong Qianyu if he had something, and then gave him a bronze mirror.
"Childe, is this bronze mirror used to ward off evil spirits?"
"You can hang it, if someone recognizes it and needs silver taels or other help, you can agree, if you feel embarrassed, you can send me a message."
The bronze mirror is a token of the Tianya Pavilion on the clouds, and hanging it means that the owner of this shop is friendly with the people on the clouds, and the rivers and lakes can take care of each other when they are in emergency.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
"Employing people must be optimistic about their conduct, if they encounter scoundrels, report directly to the official, and do business with integrity, understand?"
"I understand, don't worry, childe."
Mu Jiaren saw that they were busy these days, and they were still relieved.
When he was about to leave, Rong Qianyu was very uneasy.
"You just can't let him go?"
"I have other appointments to go to besides him."
She hasn't gone to the appointment of Baicao Valley yet, the owner of this thing is not her, even if it is a treasure map, she has no covetous heart.
What is the point of living for so many years, and dying for money? Maybe the master just knew that she didn't have the greed, so he would let her get things.
