Chapter Fifty-Nine: Trouble Going Out
After a moment's hesitation, the man went to the backyard to report the matter to the shopkeeper.
Xu is shopkeeper happened to be free, so he let Zhao Hong and the others go to the backyard.
"Since this lady knows the rules and there are no outsiders here, can you reveal who the guarantor is?" The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation and asked Zhao Hong and the others to sit down, and his tone was very polite.
"The shopkeeper might as well take a look at this ointment first, it is best to find someone with an old scar, you can take this ointment and try it for her for a few days, and see how effective it is after five days, and then it is not too late to discuss other things."
Zhao Hong didn't rush to sit down, but put the ointment on the table and said with a smile: "I will come back in five days." ”
After speaking, Zhao Hong said goodbye and left with a few people.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "It's really interesting, I've been a shopkeeper for so many years, and it's the first time I've encountered such a business discussion." ”
"And this ointment?" The guy looked at the inconspicuous porcelain vase and was a little eager to try.
The shopkeeper scolded with a smile: "I know that your sister has a big scar on her face, if you dare to try, take it back and try it, but if you want to say it, if you try it, you kid won't cry, and it can't damage our reputation of Shen Ji." ”
"The rules are small and understandable, thank you for the success of the shopkeeper." The man thanked him and left with the ointment.
The shopkeeper smiled, and went to his own business again, as if he didn't care about the ointment at all, but in fact, why didn't he use the young man's sister for experiments?
Let's say that after Zhao Hong went out with a few juniors, he went straight to the street where gadgets were sold, first bought some gadgets for a few small ones, and then took them to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone and enlightenment books.
Probably the words he said on the way here, Lin Yiqing was more interested in travelogues, so Zhao Hong asked the shopkeeper to recommend two books, read them to a few children and play, and it was good to have a long insight.
"A few guest officers have bought so many books for enlightenment, but have they found a school suitable for enlightenment?" The shopkeeper saw that Zhao Hong was willing to buy things for the children, so he asked.
"Not for the time being, does the shopkeeper have a good recommendation?" Zhao Hong asked casually.
"If the lady has a rich family, then go to Mr. Han's private school. It's just that Mr. Han has his own rules for accepting apprentices, and it is not just for spending money to get in, and I don't know the specific rules, depending on Mr. Han's mood. But the disciples taught by Mr. Han can all have a place in the imperial examination. ”
"Ordinary academy enlightenment is fine, but you don't have to look for it." The shopkeeper glanced at Lin Yiqing a few times, and he had a good impression of this young man who could read books anytime and anywhere, so he was willing to say a few more words.
After Zhao Hong thanked him, he took a few small ones to buy cloth, and promised Zhou Xinghua that he would naturally do it.
It's also a coincidence that the owner of the cloth shop is also talking about this, but with anger.
"I just said don't take your son to Mr. Han, you have to listen. Now it's okay, Mr. Han said that our son's qualifications are not good, which good private school is willing to accept him in the future? Can't you count on going to government school? It's a place that's not easy to get into. "The owner is angry with his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't even bother to entertain the business.
But the proprietress crossed her waist and shouted vigorously: "What are you angry at the old lady?" At the beginning, you said that Mr. Han was good, and you also said that our son is smart with you, and now that Mr. Han doesn't accept him, you should also find the reason from yourself. If you don't want to fight, shut up your mother, don't you be a mother? ”
The two quarreled in the air, and the leg that Zhao Hong stretched into was neither advancing nor retreating.
Fortunately, the proprietress is a person who can live, glared at her man fiercely, and immediately stepped forward to greet Zhao Hong.
"What fabric does this lady want to buy?" Although our shop is not big, it has a complete range of varieties and a fair price. The proprietress was instantly extinguished, and the smile was bright.
"If you want to buy some coarse cloth and muslin, if you have the foundation to deal with it, you need to put some on it." Zhao Hong saw a new quilt behind the counter, and suddenly thought that he didn't have a good quilt, and said: "Call me five quilts of cotton again, and ask for last year's cotton." ”
Since he is making quilts, Zhao Hong doesn't want to use the bottom of the goods, so it's better to be softer.
When the proprietress heard that it was a big deal, she immediately said: "Yes, yes, eldest sister, if you want these things, I promise to give you the cheapest price." It just so happens that I have some rag heads here, and I'll fill you with a bag later, which is enough to make a year's worth of soles. ”
Zhao Hong took advantage of the fact that the proprietress was going to rummage through things, stood by the counter and asked, "They all said that Mr. Han is good, is he really so good at teaching?" ”
The boss didn't want to deal with Zhao Hong, but he came to the door as a guest, so he could only hold back his anger and reply: "This Mr. Han used to be a Tanhualang, and later resigned and returned to his hometown, so he opened a small private school in the county, and his knowledge is naturally good." Moreover, Mr. Han's classmates and friends are all officials in the court, and they can be his disciples, and they have connections before they become officials......"
The boss sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what are you doing with this?" Anyway, Mr. Han easily doesn't accept disciples, and no matter how many people in his court want to knock on the door, he is not qualified, and he has already recruited disciples this year, and he will not give anyone another chance. ”
Zhao Hong raised his eyebrows, and he didn't have much affection for this kind of gentleman with strange rules.
But Zhao Hong also had to admit that this Mr. Han's connections are the most important, and he must want to get into it as many times as he squeezes his head.
After a while, the proprietress moved out the things that Zhao Hong wanted, except for cotton, Zhao Hong didn't look at anything else, but knew that the price was cost-effective.
There was a three-day appointment with the beautiful woman, and Zhao Hong was not easy to miss the appointment, so she asked Zhao Lingxiu to stay and pick some embroidery thread, and she went out to hire a carriage to buy some snacks by the way.
This trip to the county seat, Zhao Hong did not plan to go to the Shen family, lest she take the dividends and let the Shen family make an exception to consign the ointment for her, but it made people ignore the efficacy of the ointment itself.
"Are you blind, old woman? Seeing that people are still bumping upwards and hitting my young lady, can you afford to pay for it? When Zhao Hong bought dim sum and turned around, he was scolded by a little maid pointing his nose.
Glancing at the pot-bellied young woman who was still half a step away from him, Zhao Hong frowned slightly, not because the maid was rude, but because the young woman's fetus was extremely unstable, but it was a life that could be born.
"It's better for this young lady to go to the infirmary, and not just one infirmary." Zhao Hong reminded in a low voice.
"What do you mean? Dare to curse my young lady? The maid shouted as she craned her neck.
"This lady's countenance is obscure, and she has often been uncomfortable these days, has she not suspected anything?" After Zhao Hong kindly prompted him, he turned sideways and passed by the young woman.
Even if she is a goddess, she Zhao Hong is also principled, and it is better to mix less if she doesn't make money.
"The young lady must not listen to the old woman, she is too vicious to say it on purpose." The maid shouted anxiously.
Zhao Hong, who didn't want to cause trouble, stopped when he heard this, turned to look at the anxious maid, and sneered: "There will always be retribution for doing too many bad things, you girl traitor still slanders a good person like me, aren't you afraid that life is worse than death in the second half of your life?" ”
