Chapter 64 Maid
The boss of the Tooth Store was surprised to see Qin Zhao so generous and seemed to not take fifty taels of silver seriously. After all, fifty taels of silver can be bought in Zhaoqing these days. It is enough for a strong man to eat for more than ten years. Qin Zhao seemed to throw such wealth out casually.
"The name and origin of the guest official?"
"Qin Zhao, Renhoufang, Xiangshan County."
"Qin Zhao, Renhoufang?" The boss of Yashang took a breath and said, "But Boss Qin, who is doing spring soft chair trading in Guangzhou City?"
Qin Zhao didn't expect the boss to be so well-informed and said with a smile: "It's me!"
The boss of the Yass Store changed into a flattering smile and said, "Why don't the guest officer rest in the shop for a few days, wait for the shop to go to the Governor's Office to ask if the Governor is in Zhaoqing and when will he have time to meet the guests."
Qin Zhao nodded, knowing that such a thing is unhurried.
The tall and thin guy brought Qin Zhao and his three followers to the Yashang Building, and chose a room for Qin Zhao to live in, and a room for Qin Youli and two servants to rest.
Qin Zhao hired a carriage to Zhaoqing, and was really tired. When he entered the room, he fell to bed.
After waiting in Zhaoqing for two days, on May 22, Qin Zhao finally met Ding Kuichu, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Qin Zhao took Qin Youli with silver notes in his arms and entered the Governor's Mansion through the back door. Under the leadership of the boss of Yashang, he walked through the hall and passed through the alley.
On the way, the boss of Yaxing said to Qin Zhao: "Young man, the emperor has ascended to the great treasure, and the year name is Hongguang, do you know?"
Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongguang, had ascended the throne.
The Southern Ming Dynasty officially kicked off.
The three of them walked for a while before they approached a main hall.
The main hall was seen from the outside, which was consistent with the tone of the broken yamen, but the decoration inside was very gorgeous. When you entered the door, you saw a carved screen. Bypassing the screen, you saw a soft couch with scarlet wands on it, with a bright red gold python pattern on the front and a stone-green gold python patterned pillow. There was a pair of small plum-shaped lacquer tea tables on both sides of the soft couch. On the left was a Wenwang cauldron scattered box with spices burned in it. On the right was a Ru kiln beauty goblet. The goblet was filled with fresh flowers and some tea bowls, etc. On the west side of the soft couch were four chairs on the west side, with silver-red flower-scattered chairs on the chairs, and four pairs of footsteps on the bottom. There were also a pair of high tea tables on both sides of the chair, with tea bowls and vases on the tea table.
The boss of Yaxing was obviously very familiar with the Governor's Office. He asked Qin Zhao and Qin Youli to sit on the chair and then retreated.
After a while, a beautiful maid came in and stood beside the soft couch to serve her master.
After a while, I heard the guard guard outside the door shouting at the top of his voice: "The governor is here!"
An elderly man who looked very fat walked in.
Qin Zhao and Qin Youli guessed that this was Governor Ding Kuichu, so they quickly bowed. Ding Kuichu came in and refused to greet Qin Zhao and Qin Youli, who were bowing down, but focused on the maid standing aside.
Qin Zhao bowed aside and saw only what was on the ground. He only heard the maid snorting coldly, and then saw her footsteps moving, as if she was dodging away, and cursed: "The thief is taking advantage of me again, I turned around and said to Wu Niang."
Ding Kuichu immediately changed into a mournful face and said, "My heart and soul, why bother to talk to that shrew?"
The maid snorted coldly: "You are becoming more and more arrogant these days, and there is no rule."
Ding Kuichu smiled and said, "It's not that you are wandering in front of me like a porcelain man every day. I can't see and eat it, and you are hanging in the air every day."
The maid snorted and stopped talking.
Qin Youli was there, like a pen holder, and did not dare to move. How dare he look up? Qin Zhao bowed for a long time, but he didn't hear the governor letting him get up, so he couldn't help but look up.
This was amazing, but I saw Governor Ding Kuichu smiling all over his face, and was holding a jade-inlaid hairpin from his arms and stuffing it into the maid's arms.
Qin Zhao was startled and quickly lowered his head.
However, Ding Kuichu had already noticed Qin Zhao's gaze. Ding Kuichu coughed and reluctantly let go of the maid. This was so great that his face was covered with dark clouds. Anyone who saw it knew how unhappy he was.
With beauty in front of him, there is actually someone like Qin Zhao who doesn't know anything interrupting the rhythm.
Ding Kuichu walked to the soft couch with a stern face, took off his shoes and lay on the soft couch.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Ding Kuichu used the tea as mouthwash and spit the tea into the spittoon in one mouthful. Then he lay comfortably on the soft couch.
"Get up! Get up!"
Qin Zhao then stood up straight.
After lying for five minutes, Ding Kuichu seemed to have calmed down and said slowly: "Qin Zhao, is your spring soft chair really that comfortable?"
It turned out that the governor had known who was kneeling on the ground.
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "If you go back to the governor, it is indeed comfortable, much softer than the ordinary soft couch!"
Ding Kuichu smiled and said, "No wonder it sold so much that it attracted the Zheng family."
Qin Zhao quickly said, "I will send eight best mates to the governor tomorrow!"
Ding Kuichu sneered and said, "No! I want to use your spring soft chair and just go to your shop to buy it yourself. Do you think I can't afford it?"
"The little people dare not!"
Ding Kuichu snorted coldly and said, "Qin Zhao, I ask you, the Lu family smashed your soft chair shop, the Lu family will compensate you for the losses you have not bought or sold for 16 days. Well, two thousand taels of silver. Then I ask you, my family is doing business in Guangzhou City, and Guangzhou has 16 days of martial law. Who will compensate for the losses of my family?"
Hearing Ding Kuichu's questioning, Qin Zhao felt a sudden sigh of mind, knowing that it would be difficult to end up well today.
Qin Zhao bowed and said, "The Guangzhou magistrate issued martial law, and the Guangzhou magistrate should have the money to compensate the governor."
Ding Kuichu laughed and said, "Then Lu Yixuan is a turtle who only enters and does not leave. Do you ask Lu Yixuan to pay the money?"
After laughing for a while, Ding Kuichu looked at Qin Zhao with his eyes slanted and said, "Qin Zhao, your soft chair business is so hot, shouldn't you pay me some money?"
Qin Zhao bowed and said, "The Lord of the Governor clearly understands that the common people's business and the money lost by the Lord of the Governor are two different things, and they cannot be replaced by others."
Ding Kuichu grabbed the lid of the teacup on the coffee table, knocked it on the coffee table, and said, "Without your business, the Zheng family would have been so desperately attracting all the thieves? Without your business, Lu Yixuan would have declared martial law so crazily. Everything was started because of your soft chair business!"
"I just have to pay you?"
Qin Zhao asked: "How much does the governor want the common people to pay?"
"Twenty thousand taels of silver!"
Qin Zhao took a breath and said, "The Governor was joking!"
Ding Kuichu turned his eyes on Qin Zhao for a long time, then looked at Qin Youli beside Qin Zhao, and his eyes narrowed.
Qin Zhao means that he has the Zheng family as a protective umbrella, and even Ding Kuichu has no choice but to do anything to him.
However, Ding Kuichu really has no choice but to deal with Qin Zhao. If Ding Kuichu rashly attacks Qin Zhao and angers the Zheng family, then Lu Zihong's gatehouse is a lesson for the past.
Now that Emperor Hongguang has just arrived at Dabao, he doesn't care much about the emotions of civil servants, but he takes great care of warlords from all over the country. The Zheng family is the first warlords in various places to appease. The Zheng family is now leading troops to attack Guangzhou City and robbery for three days. It is estimated that Emperor Hongguang will pretend not to know.
Afterwards, the city was attacked by a thief.
With the Zheng family as the protective umbrella, Ding Kuichu really couldn't touch Qin Zhao.
Ding Kuichu was silent for a minute before making a disdainful hum.
"Tell me, what are you asking for when you come to me?"
"The little people understand that they can't get it here in the governor."
