Chapter 35: Together ~)
Zhou's silk and satin shop.
A seemingly smart waiter rushed into the store like a wind and said to Zhou Jianyu who was walking out like a firecracker, "Shopkeeper, you asked me to find the place I was looking for, but it was a little bit off and there were a little less crowds. But if you open a store, you should not be wrong. You have already negotiated with the shopkeeper. At that time, you just need to pay the money to go to the yamen to sign a contract."
Smack
Zhou Jianyu slapped him over and snorted coldly, "Next time I will be yelling in the store and I will deduct your salary. Go and follow me to the back."
The waiter of the dormitory nodded quickly, but then said, "It's the shopkeeper, but I've finished talking."
Zhou Jianyu's eyebrows stood up in anger, and he pulled his collar over his hand, and he was about to pull it back, and snorted: "Let me slow down next time, do you know if the other party heard what you said clearly?"
The waiter of the hall is Han Chi, who is Zhou Jianyu's distant nephew. After following Zhou Jianyu for many years, he was not afraid that he would really deduct wages. He smiled shamelessly and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, everything is settled."
Zhou Jianyu carried Han Xi and wanted to throw him into the backyard, saying, "Okay, okay, go in, don't interfere with my business."
Han Feng was unwilling to do so and said with a struggle: "Shopkeeper, you have so much business, why don't you give me a shopkeeper? Don't worry, the salary is still the same, I just want to..."
Smack
"You just want to be a shopkeeper, right?" Zhou Jianyu slapped Han Xue on the head and said, "Wait, wait for my rice shop to expand, and leave you a place."
Han Chi was overjoyed and pulled Zhou Jianyu and said, "Hey, shopkeeper, can the salary increase a little?"
Zhou Jianyu said angrily, "Get out."
"It's the shopkeeper!" Han Ting jumped excitedly, lifted the curtain and ran to the backyard.
Zhou Jianyu drove Han Chi away and walked to the small room behind the counter. Although he was the shopkeeper, he was no longer the same as the shopkeeper inside the counter.
He sat on a chair, looked through the account book, and couldn't help but smile. With the help of that noble man, he not only lost all kinds of filial piety, but also received the protection of the Jinyiwei. Now the money is rolling in. He has given nothing except running errands.
Making money is the most important thing for Zhou Jianyu. While calculating, he said confidently, "If the second child can pass the imperial examination and pass the Jinshi, then I will be really satisfied..."
The Zhou family is also considered a noble family, but the larger the family, the more diverse the population. The ancestors of the Zhou family are still alive this year, so there is no separation. Zhou Jianzong and Zhou Jianyu are actually still a family.
It was just one of the censors of the Qinggui Censorate, and the other was a lowly merchant.
He dreamed that a scholar would appear in his family!
"Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you outside." Zhou Jianyu was having a good dream when suddenly the servant outside walked in and shouted.
Zhou Jianyu put together the account book and walked out. When he looked up, his face changed slightly when he saw the three people coming in.
He didn't know one of them, but the other two were Wei Liangqing and the other was Ni Wenhuan. How could he not know him?
He was slightly shocked, but he smiled on his face, raised his hand and said, "Three, please come from there."
The three of them were, Zhou Yingqiu, Ni Wenhuan, and Wei Liangqing!
Zhou Yingqiu and Ni Wenhuan both knew that Zhou Jianyu was a person on the table, so they both raised their hands and said, "You are kind to the shopkeeper Zhou."
Wei Liangqing thought he was going to meet some big shot, but he didn't expect that he was a merchant and couldn't help but show a disgust on his face. A hundred of these kinds of goods were not in his eyes. However, the situation was stronger than that of others, so he reluctantly raised his hand and followed him into it.
Zhou Jianyu invited the person to the side room, called Han Chi, and said seriously, "Look out of the door, no one is allowed to approach, and you are not allowed to listen to a word!"
Although Han Feng was confused, he could tell the difference and said with a guaranteed look: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, there was never any mistake in what you told me!"
Zhou Jianyu was relieved about this, so he entered the house and closed the door.
He looked at the three of them with a look of ugly expression. He could not do anything to these three of them as he was, but they were so open and honest that they obviously did not match the idea that the master was unwilling to show up.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, it's abrupt."
Zhou Yingqiu was speaking, and his ability to observe his expression was a hundred times stronger than that of Ni Wenhuan, who was the censor. He stood up and said with a serious expression: "But this is the case. This Lord Wei is the nephew of eunuch Wei. Now the people from the Sansi are probably ready to take action. We are afraid of implicating noble people, so we have to come here with liberation."
Zhou Jianyu had no idea about Zhu Xu's affairs. He was just a errand-run role. He thought about sending the message later, so he wanted to send the three people away. He pretended to think about it and said, "I will pass on the message to the nobles later. I will notify you if there is any news. If there is any news, I will only know you all the masters immediately." Zhou Jianyu was trained by Zhu Xu, but his status was lower. He had no confidence in the face of these people.
Zhou Yingqiu and Ni Wenhuan looked at each other secretly and said, "There is another thing we want to discuss with the nobles in person."
‘In person?’
Zhou Jianyu looked at the three of them, especially Ni Wenhuan, who was not very good at concealing his expression, and suddenly realized it, and then he sneered secretly. It seemed that the two of them were going to rebel, so they had to let the "master" give them some color.
"Okay," Zhou Jianyu was not able to hit Zhou Yingqiu and Ni Wenhuan, and said in a deep thought: "Okay, I'll send a message to the palace now, and I will notify you of the location tonight."
Even Zhou Yingqiu's eyes flashed with excitement, but he said patiently: "Okay, please ask Manager Zhou, we are waiting for your news."
The three of them came here with condescending respect and surrendering to the nobles. When facing a small merchant, they naturally didn't want to stay for too long. After the matter was finished, they couldn't wait to leave to avoid being suspicious.
Zhou Jianyu thought for a while in the door, then walked towards the study room, wrote a note, called Han Chi, and ordered: "It's better to be as careful as before."
Han Shi put the note in his arms and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper."
In Jinghuan Palace, Wu Rou carried a box of snacks and said to Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, this is what our Empress asked me to send to you."
Zhu Xu opened his eyes and said happily: "Is it made by Sister Huan'er?"
Wu Rou smiled and said, "Yes."
As he said that, he kept stuffing a note into Zhu Xu's hand, and Zhu Xu also put his expression in his arms.
Wu Rou's expression relaxed, her smile became more and more sincere, and she bowed slightly and said, "What do you mean to bring to our Empress or Sister Huan'er?"
"Let's come and go," Zhu Xu had already penetrated the box with one hand to grab snacks. When he heard this, he moved his heart and quickly turned his head outside and shouted, "Sister Qingqing, bring some of our pastries and let the emperor's sister-in-law try it too."
Wu Rou looked at a large box wrapped in oil paper, blinked and said, "Your Highness, what should I answer if the Empress asks me?"
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Don't say anything, I won't say anything."
Wu Rou was stunned for a moment, her little look was a little cute, and then she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it to our empress now."
"Sister Qingqing, I'll send Miss Rou."
