With a straight face, Zhu Jiashi listened to the report from Butler Liu and Zhu Wanjian about the rejection of Zhu Hao when they went to pick him up.
Let me start with Butler Liu.
After hearing this, Zhu Jia didn't make any expression on his face. Zhu Wanjian gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to what that boy said? He doesn't even want to be filial to the Zhu family! Such an ambitious child is best killed and fed to the dogs!"
Zhu Jiashi sneered: "He is right. How the Zhu family treats him can be seen in how your uncle treats him. You are going to kill him, but you still want him to have the kindness of an elder to you?"
"
Zhu Wanjian was startled.
He first glanced at Butler Liu. At this time, Butler Liu's face was ashen, his eyes were dull, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he didn't have any opinions.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just trying to scare him... He is the son of my third brother and my nephew. I am angry at him for not fighting and hating him for being unfilial. He is completely arrogant. How could he really do this?
To embarrass him?"
Zhu Wanjian turned to look at his mother with aggrieved expression, as if others had misunderstood him.
Zhu Jiashi said: "Why didn't you say this in front of him? What's the use of telling me this now? In front of Sanfang's mother and son, you can say as harshly as you want, and you can beat him to death.
Even if you come back with a corpse, it’s as if my Zhu family are all jackals, tigers and leopards, so he still dares to come?"
Zhu Wanjian wanted to pretend to be aggrieved, but when he heard this, he almost jumped up: "You say it's all my fault? It's as if if I don't go today, someone can take me back, so why are you looking for me? I
Even if he hates the Zhu family after all his harsh words are spoken, is there nothing we can do against him?
"It's not easy to get people back. There are so many tenants in Zhuangzi, and you can call on hundreds or ten people at will. If it's not enough, go to your brother to borrow some guards in uniforms. How dare the guards that this kid hired openly go against the government?"
Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Zhu Jia was filled with hatred.
"Steward Liu, tell this unscrupulous man what the situation is now!" Zhu Jiashi didn't want to talk nonsense to her son, so she handed over the task of explanation to Steward Liu.
Butler Liu said sternly: "It's nothing for the third lady and Young Master Hao to disobey the old lady's orders. We can indeed use force. But the problem is that the palace sent a formal ceremony to see them off. In fact, they wanted to use this to warn the Zhu family that for the Zhu family
The palace has already been aware of what may be done next.
"Leave aside the consequences of blatant violation of the previous agreement reached between the Zhu family and the palace. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Zhu family forcibly brought the third lady and her family back to Zhuangzi... The palace will definitely not take in Young Master Hao again. All previous plans have failed.
It will be in vain.”
Zhu Wanjian said: "What do you mean by this, do you want to stand aside and do nothing? How can you express such bad breath?"
"Second Master, it doesn't matter whether you vent your anger or not. What matters is what the old lady told Master Hao to do..." Butler Liu's tone was very humble.
Zhu Wanjian looked at Zhu Jiashi again: "Then... what do you want me to do if you want me to bring that boy back? My eldest brother has been back in Anlu for so long, how come he hasn't lived in Zhuangzi for a day? Is he incapacitated?
Are you up to it, or do you just don’t want to come back at all?”
Butler Liu said: "Old madam, look...are you going to go to the city yourself now, or are you thinking of another plan?"
Zhu Jiashi didn't want to pay attention to her brainless son, and sighed: "Is it possible that the palace doesn't know about entering the city at this time? This move seems to be impossible... It's strange to say why the palace keeps protecting this kid.
Wouldn't it be enough to just drive him away? There were rumors before that there was a child in the palace who saved people from the fire, could it be him? "
Zhu Wanjian felt that he was being ignored, and he was unhappy in his heart. Naturally, he wanted to increase his sense of presence: "Xiao Haozi is so greedy for life and afraid of death, but he still saves people in a fire?"
"Old madam, where is the eldest master...?"
Butler Liu asked for instructions again.
Zhu Jia's breathing became heavy: "I thought I could save money, but now it seems that I can't save it. I still have to spend money in the capital, and I must let the boss take root in Anlu... Since things are difficult to do, what about the third room?
, let them do whatever they want for now, and then we can settle the accounts together after things calm down!"
…
…
After all, Zhu Jia did not go to the city to find Zhu Niang and her son.
This was also what Zhu Hao had expected. After all, the old lady was scheming and savvy, and could see the situation clearly. The palace had clearly told the Zhu family that we had already been prepared for your actions. If you don't know how to restrain yourself at this time, you still have to act recklessly.
, does that mean we have to completely break up?
If your grandson is still studying in the palace, the long flow of time will eventually give the Zhu family a chance to reconcile. But if you blatantly violate your previous promise, then the palace will have no choice but to kick your grandson out of the palace, and then everyone will use their abilities to target each other to see who is unlucky.
.
Zhu Hao was very confident about this, so he could spend two days of vacation at home safely.
Zhu Niang and Aunt Li were worried.
In the past two days, Aunt Li has been muttering: "If the Zhu family mobilizes an army to rob people, I wonder if the people brought by Yu San will be effective? If we are captured by the Zhu family, I'm afraid it will be dark, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and comforted: "Auntie, the Zhu family is our own family after all, and it is not a prison. Even if they are unreasonable, they can't treat us as slaves, right? If our personal freedom is restricted or corporal punishment is imposed, we can definitely go to the Yamen to sue them.
."
Zhu Niang frowned: "Xiao Hao, how can you speak so innocently? Go to the Yamen to sue the official? That's your family, can you sue? Even if you do this, how can you gain a foothold in this world in the future? There are no filial and righteous people.
, it’s hard to move even an inch!”
Zhu Hao sighed in his heart.
Women are hopelessly pedantic.
Filial piety is indeed very important, but compared with power, it is nothing! The current situation is that Prince Xing’s Mansion and the county government are on their side. Can the Zhu family have a say in how to determine filial piety? Don’t be beaten to death in the end.
I don’t even know what happened!
It can only be said that the shackles on women in this era are too deep, making them feel that they can't live without the man's family. But in fact, now they don't rely on the Zhu family for food and drink. Just for the sake of his reputation as a descendant of the Zhu family, they have to do whatever they want.
If you let others control you, that would be extremely stupid.
…
…
In the past two days, Zhu Hao was surrounded by people when he went out, as if he were a son of an official family going on a trip.
Zhu Hao went to discuss business on behalf of Zhu Niang.
Su Xigui was not in Anlu, but the shopkeeper he sent had repeatedly urged Zhu Hao to supply goods.
"Shopkeeper Ma, the ground in Anlu is not very peaceful recently."
Zhu Hao was very perfunctory with the new shopkeeper Ma.
Shopkeeper Ma is younger than the previous shopkeepers. He works vigorously and resolutely. He has received Su Xigui's care in advance. He must be based on Zhu Hao's needs and cannot go against Zhu Hao.
Shopkeeper Ma said: "The Chief Envoy of Huguang, Si Yamen, has reported to the court and will arrange for the provincial capital to send troops to Anlu to suppress the bandits. There are now a lot less bandits on the river. If we only use the waterway... everything will be fine."
"How can we make peace with just the waterway? The materials I supply by land still can't get through."
Zhu Hao always has reasons for not being able to deliver goods.
This made Shopkeeper Ma very anxious.
I couldn't see anyone before, but now that I see someone, I'm still so pushy and perfunctory. I've never seen someone so disrespectful when doing business with Su Xigui, and he's still a naughty kid?
Are there no adults at home?
Can you speak?
"Young Master Zhu, the money has been shipped a long time ago. If you don't have enough materials, let us know and our boss will make arrangements for you. You can't just ignore it... If you come back to Prince Xing's Mansion, when will you be able to see me?
?No matter what, I have to provide a batch of goods before you go back to the palace to study..."
In the end, Shopkeeper Ma almost knelt down in front of Zhu Hao and begged.
Face is not important. In short, it is a great achievement to complete the task assigned by Su Xigui. Even if Su Xigui wants to fawn over someone, he will not be ashamed even if he gives in.
"Then I'll try my best to work as quickly as possible these two days. If everything goes well, you may have to wait seven or eight to ten days..."
"Okay, okay!"
For Shopkeeper Ma, as long as the goods can be supplied, it doesn't matter if it's a little late.
As for the contract signed before, now it all depends on Zhu Hao's mood.
Who told Zhu Hao to provide only one product in the world? Whether it is silver mirrors or eyeglasses, not to mention selling them, even giving them as gifts is not enough. Do you want to see such good things on the market now?
Let alone fifteen taels of silver a pair, even if you offer a high price of one thousand taels... you won't have anywhere to buy them!
…
…
Zhu Hao came out of the shopping mall.
Behind him, shopkeeper Ma's people were carrying several large boxes, which looked very heavy.
Zhu Hao told Yu San: "Let people load the boxes into the truck and walk through the market in a big way. If anyone asks you, just say that Mrs. Zhu's family earned it from running the workshop, and also said that she will use the money to buy a house and land!"
Yu Sanyi looked confused: "Brother Hao, are you right? Didn't you say there is no supply? Why do you give money as soon as you come up?"
"Do you understand the advance payment? How can I purchase materials and process finished products without money? Shopkeeper Ma, is that okay?"
Zhu Hao behaved extremely strongly.
Shopkeeper Ma came into contact with Zhu Hao for the first time, and he wondered: "Isn't my boss crazy? He insists on doing business with such a powerful villain? Even if his goods are really unique in the world, who can bear this cowardice...
Come on?"
"No problem, just take it away and supply the goods on time." Shopkeeper Ma complained in his heart, but he was not qualified to challenge Zhu Hao, so he had to smile apologetically.
Zhu Hao nodded and asked Yu San to load the silver box into the cart. As the onlookers marveled, Zhu Hao jumped on the carriage and escorted the silver box to his home.
Yu San saw that the onlookers around him had something wrong with their eyes. Some were pointing and others were whispering. He immediately reminded in a low voice: "Brother Hao, are we doing this too high-profile? You should be more careful after making money. It's easy to be taken advantage of."
Malicious people are targeting me, and Anlu has not been peaceful recently."
Zhu Hao said: "In the past, I only made small amounts of money, so of course I had to keep a low profile. But now that I have made a lot of money and still keep a low profile, wouldn't it be like walking at night in fine clothes? What's the point of that? Let's buy a big house in Anlu and move into it and hire Baiba.
Ten nursing homes, see who dares to rob them openly!"
"One hundred and eighty?"
Yu San was dumbfounded by Zhu Hao's generosity.
Zhu Hao was sitting on the carriage, with his legs crossed and a dandy attitude of "I am Young Master Zhu, who am I afraid of?": "With few people, we can neither deal with thieves nor the villains of our family... Even if I find two hundred
If you come alone, each person is given five taels of silver per month, which is only one hundred taels per month. I can definitely afford it!"
Not only was Yu San dumbfounded, his outlook on life was about to be overturned.
One hundred taels per month...
Two hundred nursing homes?
Be obedient.
"By the way, junior brother, you will be the foreman of the nursing home by then. I will give you processing money to ensure your satisfaction!" Zhu Hao said with a smile.
