The Zhu family has temporarily ceased its activities.
It seems that Zhu's transfer of the glaze workshop, which caused the Zhu family to suffer a huge loss, never existed at all. The Zhu family no longer intends to pursue the responsibility. After the separation, everyone will live their own lives without paying attention to each other...
Zhu Niang was anxious for a few days, but she found that the old lady didn't come to bother her anymore, and she immediately felt at ease. She stopped pretending to be sick for the time being, but she was always on guard against the old lady suddenly coming to her door. She even only left a little money at home.
, to prevent being taken advantage of by the Zhu family.
Zhu Hao successfully supplied the two large glass mirrors Su Xigui needed and obtained one thousand five hundred taels of silver.
"That's great, that's great."
Su Xigui personally inspected the goods. Because it was a tribute, he needed to ensure that there were no defects in any corner. He also needed to check whether there were any unevenness anywhere.
If the mirror surface is uneven, the glass mirror will become a funny mirror, which will lengthen or shorten the person's figure. This itself is also a disadvantage of the bronze mirror, because it is difficult to make a bronze mirror completely flat.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "If the goods are handed over to Mr. Su, we will pay for them. If anything happens later... improper transportation leads to breakage, it is none of my business."
The ugly things to say come first.
Even if I give you proper reinforcement and shock-proof treatment for glass, it is impossible these days to ask for compensation from me if it is damaged while transporting something to the capital thousands of miles away.
"Ha ha."
Su Xigui couldn't help laughing after listening to Zhu Hao's words, "How else would you say that you, Mr. Zhu, are a good businessman? There is no guarantee for this thing. What if there is a problem during manufacturing?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "Then please check it carefully, Boss Su, to see if there is anything really wrong with it... We will not return or exchange it after checking it."
Shopkeeper Ma and others on the side are also helping to check. With their habits, they can find out the faults for you even if there are no faults, so as to reduce the purchase price and even ask for returns and exchanges...
But before shopkeeper Ma could say anything, Su Xigui chased him away: "Don't look at it. Although Mr. Zhu is a fickle businessman, he is sincere and will not pass off inferior products. Go ahead."
Shopkeeper Ma and others were surprised by Su Xigui's "tolerance and generosity". He usually cared about everything, so was it the person in front of them who taught them to pick holes in their eggs to save costs?
Is this how you transitioned?
After the group of people retreated, Su Xigui asked Zhu Hao to sit back at the table, and finally took out the fine hair tip he had collected to make tea and drank with Zhu Hao.
"Forget that you don't understand tea. This is a good thing that money can't buy. It smells fresh and elegant, drinks fresh and mellow, and has a sweet aftertaste that stimulates body fluids. It's so wonderful that you can't drink it normally."
Su Xigui thought of playing the piano to a cow and talking about tea to a person who didn't understand tea. It was a waste of money.
Zhu Hao did not argue with Su Xigui. I had never tasted any tea in my previous life. I also made several documentaries on famous teas in the world with the TV station. For Maojian alone, there are Xinyang Maojian, Maoping Maojian, Duyun Maojian, Xiushan Maojian, and Zhu.
Xi Maojian, Huangshan Maojian, etc. I can say that I know all the nuances of various Maojian teas, but if you think I don’t understand, then just pretend that I don’t.
"It tastes good. It would be good if it was made into milk tea." Zhu Hao said casually.
Su Xigui asked: "What kind of tea is milk tea?"
Zhu Hao said: "I heard that people on the grasslands always add goat's milk or something to their tea. It has a unique flavor. If you add some sugar, it will taste even better."
Su Xigui originally thought it was some kind of money-making business. Hearing this, he shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly: "You are quite good at drinking. Could it be that you have done business with the grassland people? Those Tatars... forget it, you will never be able to contact them in this life.
, it’s best not to get in touch with them, they are not something you can do business with..."
In his words, Su Xigui had a deep prejudice against the Tatars. It was not a national conflict, but something like being cheated or robbed by the Tatars when doing business.
"By the way, how are you going to deal with the Zhu family in the future?"
Su Xigui did not tell Zhu Hao that the Zhu Jia family had proposed an alliance to him. Because of his shrewdness, he certainly would not put all his treasure on Zhu Niang and her son.
Keep everything in mind!
After finishing a bowl of tea, Zhu Hao put down the tea cup and burped happily: "The family is divided, what else do we have to deal with? My grandmother didn't come to look for trouble, so everyone should be safe and don't ask for trouble...
It’s almost time, I have to go back to the palace.”
Su Xigui originally wanted to hear Zhu Hao's tips for managing the Zhu family. Even if he went north to the capital and knew that the Zhu Jia family and the Zhu family behind it would be in trouble, he would still be happy.
Hearing this, he curled his lips and said: "That old lady is not a good person. You are orphans and widowers, haha..."
There is no need to say everything in detail, just hit the mark.
Who doesn’t know that the Zhu family is difficult to deal with?
But no matter how difficult it is, we still need soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. You ask me the countermeasures? No one knows what the old lady will do next. Taking the initiative at this time will easily lead to defeat, so it is better to wait and see what happens.
…
…
Zhu Hao returned to the palace and went to see Tang Yin first.
Tang Yin was admiring a painting. He looked at it for a long time and nodded repeatedly. He seemed to be more and more satisfied with it as he looked at it.
"Have you met Dongzhu Su?"
Tang Yin asked casually.
Zhu Hao nodded: "When I came back, he left for the capital. This time he was going to deliver tribute."
Tang Yin was startled, the hand holding the painting was slightly curled up, he turned his head and asked in confusion: "Tribute?"
"Oh, Mr. Lu doesn't think that Mr. Su is using your painting as a tribute, right? This thing... is only somewhat famous in the Jiangnan area, but in the capital... there are so many famous people, even if it costs tens or hundreds of taels,
There are also collectors who will accept it, but the problem is... there is still a gap between it and the tribute, right?"
When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately felt a sense of frustration.
You boy.
He was so direct in his speech.
I'm still half a gentleman, so why can't you be a little more polite and make me feel that I'm very capable?
Tang Yin rolled up the painting scroll, shook his head and said: "I gave you one hundred taels before, why haven't you come to collect the paintings now? I didn't even give him the paintings, and he just left like this?"
Based on Tang Yin's understanding of Su Xigui, he was a very shrewd businessman with a strong background. How could he give money for no reason and then "forget" about it?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "For him to go to the capital to send tribute, isn't it a bigger deal than asking you to 'please paint'?"
"Escort him in person? What is the tribute?" Tang Yin didn't know about Zhu Hao making the mirror.
"Keep it secret!"
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he went back to the west courtyard.
It's summer now, and it's time to eat ice cream. Now that I have the ingredients, I can make the ice cream at noon, otherwise the children will be nagging in his ears in the afternoon.
…
…
Afternoon, a quarter past three.
Inside the school building.
Several children enjoyed a delicious meal of ice cream, and their faces showed a desire to take other people's things as their own.
So every little one devoured the food voraciously, and finally their eyes fell on Zhu Hao, who was reading a book at the side.
"No, please be early next time."
Zhu Hao didn't even eat. He held the book and yawned while facing the eager eyes of his friends.
Recently Tang Yin has been asking him to write five scriptures, requiring him to write one every day and giving it to him to check, but the final result is...
Questions were posted every day and articles were handed in, but Tang Yin never commented on them once.
I don’t even know if Tang Yin has checked the articles he wrote.
Tang Yin didn't say anything, and Zhu Hao didn't bother to ask.
Perhaps Tang Yin was in the imperial examination for a long time, and it was not easy for him to judge the quality of an article; or maybe Tang Yin felt ashamed after reading Zhu Hao's article, and decided to only be responsible for setting the questions and reviewing the format of the article.
Is it correct? The rest... I love it.
Don’t you, Zhu Hao, have a husband? If you still don’t want to tell me who he is, then ask your husband to teach you! Could it be that I, a nominal husband, still want to take your article and glare at you?
"Zhu Hao, can't you make more ice cream in one day? It's not enough!"
Zhu San's little tongue was licking her lips, with a wronged look on her face, like a little slug that no one loved.
But Zhu Hao had seen how rude and rude she was, so he didn't think the little girl in front of him was cute.
I’ve seen you take off your makeup, and you still want me to treat you like a goddess?
Just treat it as your female nerve!
Zhu Hao shook his head and said: "There are too few ingredients. We can only make so much at one time. We may not be able to supply it all the time in the future... The cost is too expensive, and the palace is already wary of me. If you are sure you will have diarrhea after eating my food, the palace will
Don’t you suspect that I poisoned you on purpose?”
"No, no."
Zhu San was flattering and grinned happily at Zhu Hao.
Things are often so wonderful.
At the beginning, no matter what Zhu Hao did, he could not be trusted by the palace. It seemed that even his fart might be deliberately "poisoning" the two princes.
But now even though they knew that the Zhu family was going to be detrimental to the palace, they still let Zhu San and Zhu Si come into contact with him, and even secretly eating ice cream was found out. The palace didn't say anything, and it seemed like they had warned Zhu Hao before...
The people themselves have forgotten it.
Zhu Si frowned: "Well, Zhu Hao, can you go home today and bring more materials when you come tomorrow?"
Zhu Hao said angrily: "Doesn't the material cost money? Besides, if I have the material, I still have to spend time and energy to do it. Isn't it troublesome? If you have something to eat, just eat it. If you don't have it, just endure it... Xiao
What good is it for a child to eat so much cold food every day? Didn’t Lu Bing have diarrhea yesterday? Do you dare to eat it today?"
"fine."
Lu Bing is now five years old. He speaks much more eloquently and has learned to reason with Zhu Hao. "My mother said that maybe the water I drank was not clean. I am strong and will not have diarrhea today."
Zhu San said disdainfully: "You are so young and still in good health? I think next time I eat cream ice cream, you should stop eating it and give me your share..."
"no!"
Lu Bing answered very simply.
The prince wants it from me, so forget it. You, a princess, still want to take advantage of me?
They usually take advantage of me enough, but when it comes to such a big issue as eating ice cream, you want to get a piece of me? No way!
"Then Jinghong..."
Zhu San looked at Jinghong again, who was pretending to be busy reading, but in fact he had been eavesdropping on what was being said here.
Jinghong replied coldly: "It's up to you."
This means that he can give up his share.
Jinghong has been very impatient in his studies recently. Seeing that Zhu Hao is writing the Four Books and Five Classics every day, he also wants to learn to write eight-part essays, but he can't get the point every time. He always pesters Tang Yin to ask questions, and finally
The result is... Tang Yin will leave as soon as class is over, and you will never see anyone if he is not in class.
Zhu San and Zhu Si looked at each other. Both siblings were secretly happy that they could take advantage of others' good things.
Zhu Hao coldly broke their illusions: "I treat you all equally, and no one can take advantage of others... Otherwise, I will cancel everyone's share, and no one will have to eat."
