Chapter 32: The Unpredictable Heart
Wang Mingming had angrily declared that if Xu Feng didn't live in the Silver Compound for a month and then slipped away, he would break his leg. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that Xu Feng has moved away, his legs have not been discounted, because Xu Feng has become a young steward who is valued by Wang Sihai. No matter how violent Miss Wang's temper is, she will not discount her housekeeper's legs. If she was released, she couldn't do it, so she was very angry, her internal fire was depressed, and she had nowhere to vent, which made Miss Wang very angry, and the consequence of her anger was to run to Bufeng Qianzhuang every once in a while to find fault.
Wang Mingming, who changed back into women's clothes, was graceful and bright, which made Xu Feng stunned. The graceful and luxurious and lively and playful temperament is perfectly unified in Wang Mingming, who is a purple hat and ermine.
Wang Mingming has a natural temperament, the momentum of a rich lady, self-heating, with a kind of cheerful optimism formed because of the privilege of life, there is no trace of melancholy and worry, there is endless vitality and passion.
The small bamboo wrapped in a floral cotton jacket, combed with two small braids, stood next to it pretty, white and pure like a jade man.
With his hands behind his back in a chic manner, he walked around Xu Feng's house at random, Wang Mingming immediately noticed the dense circles on the wall, and couldn't help laughing: "Steward Xu, what does this mean?"
Wang Mingming secretly counted fifty circles, and he already understood seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart, and he didn't expect Xu Feng to be really a promising young man with a clear goal.
Xu Feng took a step forward and said with a serious face: "Tell Miss, Xu Feng comes from a remote countryside, has been poor since childhood, and has witnessed this prosperous city for a few days, soft red fragrant soil, and his heart was greatly stimulated, so he made a grand wish, the eldest husband should marry fifty wives, so as to live up to the male body in this life!"
Wang Mingming was still proud of his cleverness, holding his head high, waiting for Xu Feng to tell the reason, so that he could give him a "teachable" comment. But I didn't expect Xu Feng to say such a paragraph. The angry Wang Mingming began to stomp his feet again, and his bright face rose a rosy color.
Today, I didn't take advantage of it.
Turning his head to Xiaozhu, he said: "Xiaozhu, let's go, wait for the day of the big calculation, he will look good!"
The maid Xiaozhu didn't guess the meaning of Xu Feng's painting of this circle, and when she heard him say such a reason, her face was suddenly full of disdain, and she pursed her mouth, as if she was more angry than Miss, snorted, turned her head and left.
Xu Feng had a spring breeze smile on his face: "Don't send it!"
In addition to taking care of Xu Feng's daily life and sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, the two apprentices don't seem to have anything specific to do. Most of these apprentices are the children of peasant families in the Wang family's estates, the cold winter is not over, the family work is not much, the weather is still cold, and no one wants to run outside. Gao Tianyi, Li Wenxing rested in his room.
There were a few simple side dishes and a pot of wine on the table, and the two of them drank and chatted at the same time.
"In order to let me enter the money bank, my father even sold the family's farming cattle!"
"You think that the money village is easy to enter, the Wang family has so many kinds of businesses, how many people want to enter the money village when they break their heads, Li Lao Er next door to my house didn't go to the door, guess where he was assigned!. Li Wenxing said.
"Where?"
"Where else could it be, brothel!"
"Isn't that a turtle slave!"
"Almost. ”
Ha ha...... Ha ha......
The two burst into laughter. After a few glasses of wine, Li Wenxing moved his mind, and said in a low voice: "Our stewardship doesn't seem to be simple!"
"Yes, being entrusted with a heavy task by Wang Ye at such a young age must be amazing. ”
Li Wenxing shook his head inscrutablely: "What a fart! The two of us are lucky, do you see it, Miss Wang didn't leave until the first half of the day." ”
"What's wrong?" Gao Tianyi said with a puzzled expression.
Li Wenxing glanced outside the door, lowered his voice and said: "I look at this Xu in charge, how can he have the slightest look of being in charge, all with a handsome face, sweet words, hooking up with our eldest lady, only to rise to the top, we are blind to follow him, in the end, we can't learn fart skills." ”
Gao Tianyi paused for a moment, as if he had suddenly recalled the meaning of his words, and said with a crying voice: "What can I do about this! My cattle have been sold, and my father still expects me to leave the school in three years to earn money to support my family!"
Next was Li Wenxing's lower voice, and the two of them put their heads together and muttered and calculated.
If Xu Feng knew that someone said that he was handsome at this moment, he would definitely be satisfied and take him as a confidant. Xu Feng has been very busy these days, and the cultivation sect is not so easy to investigate, when he was in the Netherworld Lake, Taiyi Daoist mentioned a few, there are long-standing sects, there are new ones that have risen in the past ten years, and there are special exercises, and they can't choose for a while. At this moment, it is more important to find the shopkeeper to ask for account books.
Each steward has his own business, and the main thing is to lend money, collect money, and have some work such as darts. There are special accounts for the stalls under his jurisdiction, and before Xu Feng came, the accounts were all managed by the shopkeeper Wen.
The business of the entire Sendai Castle is divided into 12 districts, each of which is managed by 12 stewards, and the accounts are accounted for separately and reconciled twice a year on the day of the grand settlement.
Xu Feng manages a relatively poor area in the eastern part of the city. It is not the location of the government, nor is it inhabited by high-ranking nobles, nor is there a bustling street, a luxurious restaurant, only a few dilapidated street shops, a large naturally formed sewage pit, and a large number of slum settlements.
What should come will always come, and there is no way for the shopkeeper to do it. Although this area is not the main source of income for Qian Zhuang, but such a large area is handed over to a teenager to take care of, and the shopkeeper Wen is still not at ease. bowed to Xu Feng, who had not been seen for many days, found the key, carefully opened the lock, took out the account book from the cabinet, and told Xu Feng in detail one by one.
While Xu Feng listened, he looked left and right, and with an absent-minded look, Shopkeeper Wen sighed again in his heart. Finally finished speaking, Xu Feng casually put the account book aside and said, "Isn't there still any silver in the account book that will be confiscated when it is due, so let the two apprentices go out to collect the accounts first." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and he said in his heart that fortunately, you are still a shopkeeper and tell me about it.
"Xu Gongzi, our money village has the rules of a rich bank, how can there be an apprentice who goes to the street to collect accounts, after working for a year, he can be promoted to running the street with a square character, you won't even know this. ”
Xu Feng smiled innocently, saying that he really didn't know.
Shopkeeper Wen sneered in his heart and said: "Even if the apprentice has just entered the industry, he has to go through the test, and if he doesn't do the test, he can't even touch the silver, let alone go out to collect the debt." ”
Early one morning, the apprentices and stewards came to Qian Zhuang one after another. Gao Tianyi, who was cleaning in the front hall, suddenly saw three taels of broken silver on the ground a few steps away from him.
Three taels of silver, an apprentice's three-month salary, is a full three hundred dollars!
Gao Tianyi first took a look, saw that there was no one around, and hurriedly stepped forward and stepped on the silver under his feet.
At this time, other apprentices happened to come in, seeing that Gao Tianyi was sprinkling and sweeping, they didn't pay attention to it, and passed through the hall.
It was a busy morning in Qianzhuang, and people came and went from time to time, Gao Tianyi stepped on the silver with one foot, nervously afraid to move, holding a broom in his hand, and could only pretend to sweep back and forth in a radius of a few feet.
In the attic across the street, the shopkeeper Wen who saw this scene couldn't hide himself, and said to Xu Feng: "Such a person, let him go out to collect the accounts and put the money, can you rest assured." ”
Xu Feng was silent in his heart, not silently about Gao Tianyi's performance, but silent about Qian Zhuang's method of testing his apprentices.
After coming to this world for so long, Xu Feng felt a little bored with this world for the first time. From the test of the apprentice, Xu Feng experienced a very unpleasant emotion, a feeling of being designed, and a feeling of not being trusted.
It is cruel to take the silver to test others, but to hide from a distance and watch it secretly, to watch the wanton leakage of the evil of human nature.
Xu Feng turned his head to Shopkeeper Wen and said lightly: "I don't know if Shopkeeper Wen can pass the test when he is an apprentice." ”
Shopkeeper Wen couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect Xu Feng to ask about this. A look of displeasure. Xu Feng didn't wait for him to answer, and said: "If there is a copper coin on the ground, I believe that Gao Tianyi will not hesitate to pick it up and hand it over to Qian Zhuang." Similarly, if one day the shopkeeper suddenly finds a silver ticket of 100,000 taels on the ground, I don't know how the shopkeeper will feel. ”
"Young people are so rude!" shopkeeper Wen was inexplicably taught a lesson, and said angrily.
Xu Feng didn't seem to hear the words of the shopkeeper, and said calmly: "The rules should also be changed." ”
"The rules set by the ancestors are up to you! I really don't know how to learn, and I don't know how thick the sky is!" said the shopkeeper indignantly.
Xu Feng knows that people's hearts can't stand the test, and they can't be tested. Xu Feng believes that people do not live up to me, and I do not live up to people. If someone comes to test me, it will represent a relationship of distrust, and since I don't trust, I will simply break up.
