Chapter Eighty-Five: The Thick-skinned Realm
Gongsun Yi went to the banquet and did not go to the west courtyard with Zhu Hao and Jinghong for dinner.
In the afternoon, Gongsun Yi never appeared in the school, and Zhu San sneered there: "I guess Mr. Gongsun is going to be given away from the palace, and we are going to change Mr. New again, right?" ”
Zhu Si asked, "Third brother, did your father say anything to you?" ”
Zhu San shook his head: "This is not to rely on others to say, but to use your brain, of course you don't have a brain, and you can't explain it clearly, or learn from Zhu Hao, even if his head is not very bright, he can't speak, so that others don't know that his brain is not good." ”
A room full of children looked at Zhu San with strange eyes.
Zhu Si pouted: "I don't know who gave you the courage." ”
"What, I'm the most brainy here, you're not convinced?"
Zhu San was still there raising the bar and fighting with Zhu Si.
Anyway, there is no Mr. in the class, and Zhu Hao did not deliberately play the role of Mr. Zhu, now it is self-study class time, and several children belong to the free-range state.
Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside.
Several children shook their heads in unison, chanting words in their mouths, pretending to be good students, and they didn't want to come into the house just an ordinary guard.
Probably the guards were afraid that Zhu Si would stay in the school for a long time, and no one would know what was going on, so they would come in from time to time to take a look.
When Zhu San found that it was just an irrelevant passer-by A probing outside, he immediately glared at him viciously and said in a threatening tone: "What are you looking at?" Can you afford to influence the study of this son? I don't care about you! ”
The guards slid away.
Then the children were bored and each doing what he was doing.
……
……
"Zhu Hao, do you think Mr. Gongsun will really be expelled from the palace? Are we going to have a new gentleman again? ”
During dinner in the evening, Jing Hong didn't see Gongsun Yi's figure, so he couldn't help asking.
Zhu Hao didn't want to answer.
Whether Gongsun Yi can leave or not is the decision of the palace, he guesses that this is not very meaningful, maybe the child will be interested in who will be his teacher, but he is different.
Relatively speaking, Gongsun Yi already belongs to a teacher who can satisfy Zhu Hao.
Young teachers are not pedantic, can accept new things, and will not be overly demanding on children, so they are easier to get along with.
"Maybe, didn't the prince say it all? She should be well-informed. ”
Zhu Hao said so, but he knew in his heart that Gongsun Yi could not be replaced for the time being.
If the palace really wants to change out of Gongsun clothes, it is impossible to invite him to a banquet or something, wouldn't it be better to send something directly to let him go home and be unemployed?
There are too many restrictions on the selection of teachers and training in the palace, mainly because Zhu Houxi is now the target of the public, a royal family relative equivalent to the crown prince, but he does not have the status and guard level that the prince should have. It will definitely take a long time to investigate.
Gongsun Yi can stand out among the many candidates, because he has a simple background, and the palace chooses a teacher with a clean family background to come to the palace to support him first, and then slowly selects a formal teacher.
In Zhu Hao's estimation, it is unlikely that he will be replaced a year ago.
……
……
The next morning, Gongsun Yi really appeared in class again, and his smile was no different from before.
Zhu San asked curiously, "Sir, why didn't you come yesterday afternoon?" ”
Gongsun Yi looked ashamed: "Yesterday at the invitation of Yuan Changshi of the palace, it was an incomparable honor for the next generation, Yuan Shi had a lot of appreciation, and he drank a few more cups of greedy cups in the next day, and he was a little drunk when he dispersed, so Yuan Shi sent someone to send him home, so that he would come to teach a few more lessons today." ”
Zhu San was very unhappy when he heard this.
Yesterday, I boasted that I had brains, and analyzed that Gongsun clothes would definitely be replaced, but today I was slapped in the face by reality, and when my girl's family is very thick-skinned?
Of course there are opinions!
Zhu San was indignant: "Why doesn't that gentleman rest at home for an extra day?" That way we can also take the opportunity to rest for a few days! ”
Gongsun Yi asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?" ”
Zhu Si looked at his sister's angry appearance, knowing that his sister was sulking and deliberately choking Mr., he was very relieved to see it, and snickered: "What she means is that our palace class is every Friday break, Mr. is not here today, and he won't use it tomorrow, so he can just wait for the day after tomorrow to come to class." ”
Gongsun Yi suddenly realized, it turns out that this is what the son of the world meant! After careful consideration, I am really considerate sir, but I am here, so I can't take leave to go home now, right?
Zhu Hao asked, "Mr. Gongsun was at the banquet yesterday, didn't he encounter some special things?" ”
"Huh?"
Gongsun Yi looked at Zhu Hao in astonishment.
When he found the secretive expression on Zhu Hao's face, he suddenly thought of something, and his face was a little ashamed.
Gongsun Yi is not a person who can hide secrets, and immediately sighed: "At the banquet yesterday, Master Wei proposed to Master Yuan many times that he was not qualified for the errand of teaching in the palace, and hoped that Master Yuan would invite another master, but Master Yuan had high hopes for me, and he was really shameless. ”
Zhu San muttered in a low voice: "I finally have self-knowledge, but since I am shameless, why don't you leave earlier?" ”
"But since you are staying as a teacher, you will still be your husband for the time being, and you will continue to teach you, and you must redouble your efforts...... Okay, take out Mencius, and ...... Zhu Hao, come up and speak! ”
Friends present: "......"
Gongsun Yi looked sly: "Zhu Hao, you talk more, let me know how Master Tang preaches and teaches, and I will study more so that I can better teach you." ”
Zhu Hao thought to himself, Gongsun Fengyuan, your face is really comparable to the city wall, do you recognize teachers everywhere? First there is Master Yuan, and then there is Master Tang, and now I am lecturing, is it also your teacher? Am I a gentleman or are you a gentleman?
Zhu San coaxed: "Someone, you hurry up and give a lecture, the students who give lectures to Mr. are really rare." ”
In other words, he would be ashamed to hear this, but Gongsun Yi was not an ordinary person, and he put forward his own ideas, and he felt that he had thought of a good way to learn while studying...... So he was completely immune to Zhu San's ridicule.
Zhu Hao couldn't bear Gongsun Yi's invitation, so he could only walk on the podium again and teach a few children.
This time, Gongsun Yi also became his student.
……
……
Go home on the evening of the fourth day of the new year.
After the palace changed the rules, there was no need to go back early in the morning on the day of rest, but one night earlier, and school ended earlier than usual in the afternoon.
After Zhu Hao came out, he went to the bookstore first.
I don't know if I don't go......
When I arrived, I found that the bookstore had developed into a continuous bookstore, and some people rented the surrounding vacant land, and the bookstore was connected to form a competition.
As soon as there are many people, the scene becomes cluttered.
The unclear ownership of this vacant land, coupled with the fact that someone maliciously spoke loudly at someone else's bookstore, caused the experience of the listener to plummet.
"Brother Hao, I finally saw you, you haven't been here for the past two days, I don't know how recently ...... There are so many storytellers out of nowhere, the voices are noisy, and I don't know who to listen to, I could have earned one or two taels of silver a day, but now I can't even earn three dollars. ”
Yu San ran to Zhu Hao to complain.
Zhu Hao comforted: "Three taels a day, nine taels of silver a month, and more than two taels in your hands, is this not satisfied?" ”
Yu San looked at Zhu Hao in surprise.
In his opinion, the biggest victim of the vicious competition in this business should be Zhu Hao, the big proprietor behind the bookstore, why does Zhu Hao look so relaxed and don't care about making money or losing money at all?
"Brother Hao, you ...... You okay? ”
Yu San asked puzzled.
Zhu Hao didn't answer, his purpose in opening a bookstore was not to make money, compared to the income from drying salt, this money was not enough for him to stuff his teeth, he mainly added a little fun to his boring life, and he could have a place to go at night, but it was really interesting to listen to others talk about the books he wrote?
Or can he do anything earth-shattering after making money?
Now that the cultural and entertainment life of the people in the city is enriched, and this vacant land is turned into an entertainment street in Anluzhou City, Zhu Hao feels that he has a full sense of achievement.
After a while, Zhu Hao said: "The plan is not as fast as the change, since the previous plan to hire storytellers from all over the city to tell stories for us has failed, we can only change course." Little third brother, what do you think is the most important thing in the business of storytelling, if you want to make money and develop for a long time? ”
"This ......"
Yu San does not have a flexible business mind, only likes to do things step by step, and lacks subjective initiative.
Zhu Hao said: "Of course, your book should be more gripping, and just following the trend to make trouble is never a long-term solution...... When you come out with a new storybook, loyal listeners will still come to listen, and you will still earn a lot at that time, and even because of the agglomeration effect, not only Anlu locals, but even people from outside will come to listen to books, and business will be better.
"At this time, we should work hard to improve our internal skills, first widen and level the venue, upgrade the stage, and set up four large water tanks on both sides to achieve the effect of sound amplification. Fences were built to block the rest of the bookstore, and attics were built on both sides to set up private rooms...... Let's do it first, it's really lively. ”
Zhu Hao didn't care at all, and was about to go home with a smile.
"By the way, little third brother, sort out the money I earned, leave half of it for the expansion and renovation of the bookstore, and give the other half to me, and then I will use the money to invest again, you can rest assured, the shares still have your share, this time we will take the high-end route......"
……
……
After Zhu Hao returned home, he saw his grandmother Zhu Jiashi directly.
However, Zhu Jia's looked forward and backward, looking nervous, as if he was coming alone this time, and he didn't bring anyone with him, and he asked Zhu Niang to know that Zhu Jia's had actually moved in the day before.
"Mother, grandmother didn't ask about the maid, did you?" Zhu Hao asked.
Zhu Niang's face was a little worried: "Your grandmother didn't ask, but she has already seen Xiaobai...... Alas, knowing that we can afford to hire a maid, I wonder if it will increase the money. ”
Zhu Hao shook his head: "Probably not." ”
Then Zhu Hao and Zhu Jiashi entered the hall, and after the doors and windows were closed, Zhu Hao began to report routinely.
“…… On the second day of junior high school, you have been to the river together? Will the son of the world go with you? Zhu Jia's face was grim.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes." ”
Zhu Jiashi frowned: "You are in the palace, can't you usually pass on the news?" ”
This is the key point.
Now that Zhu Hao has been able to sneak out of the palace smoothly after escaping the night, it seems that he has gained some freedom, but if the Zhu family knows about it, they will make full use of this and contact Zhu Hao at night, and it will work at a critical time.
But the palace has long been afraid of this, and every time he comes out, he asks Lu Song to accompany him.
"I wonder what grandmother means?"
Zhu Hao couldn't answer directly, he wanted to test how much the old lady knew at the moment.
Zhu Jiashi obviously didn't know about his grandson's situation in the palace, shook his head and sighed: "I asked you to go to see the inner line that Jinyiwei was placed in the palace, but I heard that it has been found out by the people in the palace, and the person has been transferred to another place...... I'm afraid that you will be the only one in the palace in the future, and you will have to improvise if something happens. ”
As soon as Zhu Hao heard this, he knew that Lin Baihu had concealed it from the Zhu family, and immediately pretended to be respectful: "Grandson remember." ”
