39. Chapter 39 Zhang Xiucai

"Yes." Qiao Zi nodded.

"Judging from your accent, you should be from the capital city. You've just arrived here not long ago."

"right."

"I think you may not know much about this land in the north. You are all from the capital, so I will treat you as a fellow countryman and kindly tell you that the land in the north is not so easy to plant. I advise you not to spend money indiscriminately.

Money can buy so many seeds.”

Because of Shangguan Rumo’s rare kind reminder in a century, Ruixue’s first impression of him was that he was a conscientious boss. Later she saw his true face. He was a bad guy with no treachery or business.

, Ruixue's attitude was still very good at this moment, "Thank you for your suggestion, boss, but how will you know if you don't try it? Since we are all from the capital, and now we are both here, we are destined to be together, right? In this case,

Then the boss should think that he is supporting the fellow villagers and be generous and give us something. Isn't it just a matter of five taels of silver? Why do you, a big boss, care so much about us two weak female prostitutes, don't you think so?"

If it had been anyone else, Shangguan Rumo might have refused directly. After all, he was the only seed shop in the entire Beijing City, and he had suppressed other seed shops. He was not afraid that someone would compete with him for business. If Ruixue and her daughter wanted to buy it, it would be easy.

You can only buy it from him, and he doesn't have to worry about losing customers at all. But whether it was Ruixue's words from fellow villagers that touched the soft spot hidden in his heart or something else, Shangguan Rumo unexpectedly nodded simply, "Just press

You do what you say."

"Boss is really different. Let's come again next time." After hearing Shangguan Rumo's promise, Ruixue went through the formalities with the boss without saying a word, and asked him to prepare the goods and deliver them to Jinxiu Village tomorrow, and then rushed to Shangguan Rumo.

Mo smiled, nodded and left, they still needed to buy other things.

The shopkeeper sent Ruixue and the others out with a smile on their face, and waited for them to leave before returning to the store. Seeing his boss's dull look, he couldn't help but wonder, after making a business, shouldn't his boss be very happy? "

Master, are you okay?"

"I have something to do." Shangguan Rumo stroked his chest with a distressed face, "I so readily agreed to give her ten acres of wheat seeds, which was only five taels of silver. Why, she is not like me.

, my heart hurts so much."

The shopkeeper's face was full of black lines. He said that the boss agreed too readily today, which was not like the boss. He thought there was something evil in the boss's family. But now that he looked like him, he looked normal.

"It's all your fault, why didn't you remind me?" Looking at the shopkeeper, Shangguan Rumo shifted his resentment and blamed the shopkeeper for his fault, "As a shopkeeper, you don't put the interests of your employer first, look at you

If you look so happy, I will deduct one month of your funds."

"..."

How unjust is he? Forget it, he is just paying lip service anyway, and when it comes time to pay wages, they will be paid as usual, so forgive him.

Naturally, Ruixue didn't know about the conversation between Shangguan Rumo and the shopkeeper. She got a bargain and she was very happy. After leaving the seed shop, she went to buy a lot of things, and finally stopped at writing a letter for someone.

In front of a stall selling calligraphy and paintings.

Ruixue stopped in front of this stall not because she wanted to buy calligraphy and paintings, but because there were two businessmen standing in front of this stall. They seemed to be having a dispute with the stall owner. After listening for a while, Ruixue understood that today was the day to collect stall fees.

But the boss has no money to pay the stall fee, so he is asking the two businessmen to give him a few days' grace, or to take some calligraphy and paintings back.

"Your calligraphy and painting cannot be eaten or drunk. Why should I come here? Every time I collect the stall fee, you are the last one. Zhang Xiucai, tell me yourself. When did I not wait until the last day for you? What if you pay again?

If you don't come out, I will confiscate your stall today, and you will not be allowed to set up a stall in Beijing City in the future." One of the tall officials said.

"I know, isn't it because business has been bad recently? My own life is difficult. Where can I get the extra money? Zhao Qi, please give me a few more days."

"Master Zhao." Upon hearing this, Ruixue stepped forward and called out the name of one of the servants.

Hearing someone calling him, Zhao Qi turned around and immediately recognized Ruixue and her daughter standing not far away. He quickly smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao. I'm sorry."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Qiao Zi saluted.

"Mr. Zhao, are you collecting stall fees?"

"Yes, this Zhang Xiucai procrastinates every time when it comes time to pay the booth fee. He never feels happy once. It's really a headache." Zhao Qi frowned, because Zhang Xiucai has the title of scholar, so he

He and his colleagues are all very polite to him, but sometimes he is really unkind.

Ruixue looked back at the stall owner named Zhang Xiucai. Because of Zhao Qi's words, his handsome face had turned red, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. After all, he was also familiar with poetry and books, and was forced by life to write letters for others and sell them.

Calligraphy and painting have become very embarrassing, and now he can't even pay the stall fee. It seems that God is going to kill him.

A scholar should be able to be a gentleman.

The moment she saw Zhang Xiucai, Ruixue thought that Jinxiu Village still lacked a gentleman. It would be great if Zhang Xiucai could go.

"Master Zhao, how much is the booth fee for this scholar? I will pay it to him."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qi and Zhang Xiucai were surprised. Even Qiao Zi looked at her daughter strangely, but she immediately understood her daughter's intention and couldn't help but look at her daughter with admiration. Jinxiu Village still lacks a gentleman.

If this scholar is willing to go, it will be an advantage.

"His stall fee is fifty cents a month, and he owes a total of three months, that is, one hundred and fifty cents." Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then spoke quickly. Ruixue and her daughter had come to him to do business, so he naturally knew them.

They have money, but do they really have to pay for someone they don't know?

"This is half a pound of money, Mr. Zhao. In addition to the stall fee that this scholar should pay, you and the adults around you can use the rest to have a drink at the bar. You are working very hard outside."

"Why are you so embarrassed? I just need to give you one hundred and fifty Wen." Because he and Ruixue were old acquaintances, Zhao Qi was embarrassed to accept her drink money.

"Master Zhao, just accept it. Maybe Ruixue will trouble Master Zhao someday, so I'll ask Master Zhao to take care of you." Ruixue smiled and put the half-money into Zhao Qi's arms.

"In this case, you're welcome to Zhao Qi. If Miss Qiao has anything to do in the future, just come to the Yamen to find me. If I'm not here, you can also find my brother. He is my brother Zhao Ba."

"It turns out to be Lord Zhao's younger brother, Lord Zhao."

"Miss Qiao, you're welcome." Zhao Ba smiled honestly at Ruixue. Seeing her extraordinary temperament and the fabric she wore was not something ordinary people could wear, he naturally fell in love with her.

The two brothers were very happy when they got the stall money and an extra 100 Wen for drinks. They talked to Ruixue and her daughter before leaving. Today was not a market day, and Zhang Xiucai's stall was relatively remote. In addition, the stall fee was not paid in Beijing City.
