Chapter 5 Business is coming

Three days have passed, and Wang Mingyue still hasn't come to the door. Zhao Ze was a little disappointed. He wanted to hire a maid earlier to talk to himself, play the piano, take a walk, and comfort his lonely heart. The requirements were not too high. Such a small wish could not be realized.

"Oh..." Every time he thought of this, Zhao Ze would sigh heavily.

People are old and become refined. This is to say that Lao Liu. When he sees his master is worried, he is also worried. He is worried that the master is not doing his job properly, and he should not have a bright future for his children's private affairs. No matter how good a woman is, how can he study hard to get a good reputation.

"Oh..." At first thought of this, Lao Liu also learned from Zhao Ze to sigh.

What should I do? Lao Liu thought to himself, 'If you knew lovesickness, why do you need to miss each other', lovesickness, lovesickness... Lao Liu was thinking about how to open Zhao Ze's heart knot.

A white cloud swept over the roof and sent a breeze. On a fine day, it suddenly rained.

The raindrops change from small to large. After savoring it carefully, there is really a feeling that spring rain is as expensive as oil.

Zhao Ze sat at the window, lying on the table, holding his head in his hands, and staring at the green path in front of the fence wall.

'Tick and tap...' There was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the path.

Two people appeared in the misty rain, wearing raincoats and hats, coming against the wind and rain.

"Brother, it seems that someone is coming," Lao Liu reminded.

Zhao Ze looked up, and the short and fat figures got closer and closer.

"Where are you going on this rainy day?" Zhao Ze asked casually.

"Brother, I think it's coming to us," Lao Liu replied.

"How can I see it?" Zhao Ze put down a hand, tilted his head to one side, and picked up a cucumber and bit it.

"The fat man in the rain seems to point at us," Lao Liu looked at the person rushing in the rain and guessed.

"Not necessarily. We haven't been here for a long time, and few people we know," Zhao Ze said affirmatively.

"That..." Lao Liu thought for a moment, and suddenly Lingguang answered, "Brother, will it be someone from your hometown?"

"Ah..." Hearing Lao Liu's words, Zhao Ze was almost choked by cucumbers.

After coughing a few times, Zhao Ze was a little energetic and looked at it. After looking at it for a long time, he smiled.

"No, no, I usually only write letters to my home when I'm short of money. I know the person who sends money."

"Ah, I can't guess Lao Liu..."

...

Just as Zhao Ze's master and servant were chatting, the two people came to the front in the rain. They stood fat in front of the firewood door and waved their hands and shouted, "Is there anyone in the room? I'm the money shopkeeper of the pawnshop. I have something to discuss with your brother."

In the room, after Zhao Ze learned that it was the money shopkeeper, he remembered something and thought that Lao Qian had found the buyer. This time, he came to buy the camera. At that moment, he immediately took Lao Liu and the two of them held up an oil-paper umbrella to welcome him out.

After entering the house, the guests sat down and Lao Liu made tea.

Boss Qian first introduced the people who were with him. "Brother Zhao, this is Chen's head, and Chen's head is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate of Shu County. Today, Mr. Chen has something to do with Mr. Zhao, Mr. Qian joins in the fun."

After saying that, Boss Qian raised his hand and introduced Chen's head to Zhao Ze, and Zhao Ze hugged his fist.

"Chen catcher, it's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know what's going to find my little brother," Zhao Ze asked respectfully.

The short and solid man replied in a rough voice, "Please forgive me for disturbing Brother Zhao today. Chen does have something to discuss with Brother Zhao."

"Ah, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, then ask Mr. Chen to say it, and I'll listen carefully."

"Then please forgive Chen for being abrupt. It's like this..."

A few days ago, Mr. Chen came to Taocheng to work. He accidentally saw Zhao Ze talking about riding a bicycle in the town. Then he praised the car Zhao Ze rode, saying that it was the most magical thing he had ever seen. I'm afraid there is no such thing in the world. Even the ancestor of Lu Ban is probably not able to make it in the world. Next, let's get to the point and asked Zhao Ze about the ins and outs of the car. Of course, Zhao Ze would not be stupid enough to say that it came from another time and space. He just said that this was a walking tool that his grandfather made for him when he left home, and named it a bicycle, which means that he could walk by himself.

After listening to Zhao Ze's introduction, Chen Catcher had something in his heart. It turned out to be like this. If you think so, Zhao Ze's family should be a craftsman's family, otherwise the average family will never make such a magical thing. If so, it will be easier to do what he mentioned to his brother before, at least there is A knowledgeable person, as long as he is willing to help, we will find some more craftsmen. It is estimated that it will not be long before we can imitate it. At the thought of being able to imitate such an interesting thing, Chen Catcher's eyes shine.

Lao Liu Yi added tea several times in a row. Chen Catcher made it very clear before, hoping that Zhao Ze could help him build this bicycle. In terms of wages, it is twice that of ordinary craftsmen. He can not work, but he has to guide other craftsmen. When the bicycle is sold, he can also get extra dividends.

If you want to be an ordinary person, under such a favorable condition **, it is estimated that he has already agreed, but Zhao Ze is still an experienced person after all. He is still clear about the means of soliciting people by businessmen. Even if he has long wanted to accept it, he can't agree easily, otherwise he will be despised. Thinking of this, he first made it difficult, and then complained about a lot of bitter water. He didn't know whether he could take on this big responsibility. And his ambition was not here. He just hoped to live freely. He was like fame and fortune, but after all, this bicycle was a relic of his grandfather, and he couldn't bear it. It is sold or damaged...

As soon as Boss Qian heard this, there was something in his words. What did he do? Businessman, if he can't even see such a little thing, then go home and hug the child.

"Well, Brother Zhao and Mr. Chen also know that Brother has difficulties, but you also know that this bicycle needs to hire craftsmen, buy houses and land, and also have to mine, hire helpers, transport, and spend money everywhere, as well as taxes... The tax of this dynasty is not low, so the money we can turn around is very limited. Brother Zhao, you think it's better to think about it again. At most, three days later, Chen's head will go back to Shu County. If you don't return to the county after the time limit, you will be punished." Boss Qian said.

Chen catcher also nodded one after another and said yes.

Zhao Ze stood up and walked back and forth in the room with a very hesitant expression.

The water boiled again. Lao Liu walked into the living room with the kettle and was about to add water to the teapot.

I heard someone outside the house shouting, "Brother Zhao, I'm Taozi, the one you said a few days ago... The matter of the maid doesn't count."

Zhao Ze was thinking about the following wording when he suddenly heard Wang Mingyue's familiar voice. He turned his mind and immediately decided, "Okay, I just have a request..."

"Please tell me, Chen tries his best to persuade his brother to meet his brother's requirements," Chen catcher patted his chest and promised.

"Yes, that's right, Qian also dares to guarantee"

"Well, my brother's requirements are very simple. The bicycle must be built here, and nothing else matters. If Brother Chen can persuade my brother to agree to this request, I will go all out to help Brother Chen build a bicycle as soon as possible."

"Okay" Chen Catcher's eyes were about to immediately agree to Zhao Ze's request. After being pulled down by Boss Qian, he cleared his throat. "Well, Chen immediately rushed back to the county today and told his brother's request to his brother. Tomorrow, the latest the day after tomorrow, Chen will definitely come with a good voice to invite him."

"Okay, there are two of you today. I have to meet a guest later. I'll see you off at a distance. See you next day, please!"

"Please"

Zhao Ze served tea to see off the guests, and Chen Catcher also achieved his goal. Naturally, he was full of joy and boss Qian got up and left.

Delivered to the door, Zhao Ze found that Wang Mingyue was drenched in the rain like a drowned chicken and stood anxiously in the rain, waiting for Chen Catcher and Boss Qian to go away.

He immediately welcomed Wang Mingyue into the house, handed over a towel and brought out a charcoal brazier. It seemed that the girl had been drenched in the rain for a long time, otherwise how could her lips be frozen.

Seeing Wang Mingyue enter the house, Lao Liu shook his head and went out to boil water. There was only one man and one woman left in the room.

Zhao Ze took out a cloth robe and put it on Wang Mingyue's body. "Let's put it on first. If you haven't worn it, you... Seeing that Miss Wang is so anxious, it's not like she just came to me to be a maid. Don't worry, Zhao Ze, I'll keep my word."

"The little brother said a word, and today I still remember the little girl, I... I'm impressed, but..." Wang Mingyue frowned and bit her lip.

"But how? The girl has something to say. Don't hesitate. I won't mind. Just think of me as my own family."

Zhao Ze took advantage of the girl again, but Wang Mingyue is not in the mood to argue with him at present.

"Okay, then I said, and asked my brother to help me and help me with this. After that, I... I will definitely go to the house to be a maid."

"What kind of house is not? Everyone is from the countryside. Tell me, as long as I can do it."

"Well, a few days ago, I told my mother that I wanted to make money to redeem my ancestral house. At that time, my mother scolded me a few words. I ran out in anger and didn't go home for a few days. My mother was worried that something would happen to me. She went to the mountain to find me at the place I often go to, but I was not there at that time. She didn't find me and went back worried, and didn't stay. God fell into the ravine and fell unconscious. When someone found out that she had passed the night, I... I..."

Speaking of this, Wang Mingyue burst into tears, her chest fell together, and her whole face became a landscape painting.

"That... What's the matter? I can do it. Miss Wang, don't worry. Let's finish it first." Zhao Ze patted Wang Mingyue on the shoulder with concern, but he didn't know that such a behavior was not a hat in the Song Dynasty, not to mention that there were men and women who were not intimate at that time.

Wang Mingyue twisted her body shyly and stopped crying, "I appreciate your kindness, but this is not a small amount. I'm afraid you will also be embarrassed."

"Well, don't talk about this first. Human life is at all. Money is nothing. Let's talk about it. Let's see if I have so much, but I don't have it... I will also help you raise "

"That..." Wang Mingyue thought that he could not procrastinate any longer. No matter whether he promised or not, this person is the only one who can help me do me a big favor at present. "Well, my mother's sick doctor said that she needed a good ginseng, and then slowly recuperated. Roughly estimated that it would cost at least one hundred and ten taels of silver. We only have less than 20 taels, so I want to borrow another 80 taels from my brother. ..."

"80 taels!!" Lao Liu really heard it next door, "80 taels, you think we are the one who opens a money bank"

"80 taels..." Zhao Ze touched the silver left on his body.

Roughly, there are still 30 taels left. Except for what was spent in the early stage, it is estimated that there are still about 10 taels left in Lao Liu. Thinking of this, Zhao Ze was cruel and shouted, "Old Liu, do you still have 10 taels? I have 30 taels here. Let's get together and give it to Miss Wang first. Let me see... It's too late to ask my family to send it. I'll borrow some from the money boss tomorrow."

As soon as Lao Liu heard the fire, he took the fire stick and opened the curtain and rushed in. "Brother, please forgive Lao Liu's words. Miss Wang has no relatives and no reason with you. How can you easily borrow a lot of silver? What's more, this is our living money. What do we eat? This rice, this oil, this dish, where do you want silver, brother, please Think twice!"

Wang Mingyue's heart was cold when she heard this, and what others said was reasonable. She was too reckless.

Lao Liu's words made Zhao Ze a little embarrassed and was about to get angry, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he looked at Lao Liu's bitter face and looked pitiful, and he couldn't bear to blame others. Instead, he turned around and comforted Wang Mingyue, "Don't worry, Miss Wang. Lao Liu is straightforward. Don't blame him. Why don't you take these 30 taels back first? I'll help you raise another 60 taels tomorrow. I believe the doctor won't stop seeing your mother because the silver is not enough. If the quack doctor dares to do that, tell me that Lao Liu and I will beat him up."

"That..." Wang Mingyue burst into tears and looked at Zhao Ze with deep apologies. "In this way, I thanked Brother Zhao first. When my mother recovers, I will definitely come to be a maid and try my best to pay off my debts."

After taking over the 30 taels, Wang Mingyue ran out of the door with tears in her eyes and disappeared in the misty rain again. It didn't take long before she disappeared, leaving only a string of shallow footprints before being washed away by the rain.
