Sui Gongyan continued to teach as before. Before leaving at noon, he told the children to study by themselves in the afternoon. Finally, he announced that the holiday would start tomorrow, which caused a burst of cheers from the children.
After Sui Gongyan left, Zhu Sicai said mysteriously: "Did you know that Mr. Tang is coming back, probably in a few days after the new year...Mr. Sui is going to be an official elsewhere again."
"Great!"
Zhu San clapped his hands and applauded.
Zhu Si looked at his sister and frowned: "Mr. Tang is back, do you need to be so happy?"
In the past, the children of the palace, like most people, all called Tang Yin Mr. Lu. This time, Tang Yin directly revealed his identity when he returned home, which can be regarded as a rebirth from the ashes. The palace no longer avoids this taboo, as long as it does not deliberately publicize it everywhere.
Zhu Sanbian said with a flat mouth: "Is it interesting to listen to a lecture on an old piece of wood? It's so dry that it makes you doze off... Mr. Tang is back, at least we don't have to be so boring in class."
This statement was recognized by all the children present, and even Yuan Rulin, who had only been here for two months, nodded repeatedly.
There is no harm without comparison.
In the past, no one thought how powerful Tang Yin was, but in the past two months, I have personally experienced Sui Gongyan's meticulous teaching. After a detailed comparison, it is clear who is capable among the following teachers!
Zhu Sidao: "Actually... I told my father the same thing."
Zhu Hao was relieved when he heard this, everything made sense!
The prince felt that he could not keep up with the progress of studying with Sui Gongyan. It was extremely difficult to learn. In class, he could only understand the superficial aspects of the Four Books and Five Classics but not the essence. What do you make Prince Xing think?
King Xing would not think that his son was causing trouble for nothing, and would slander Sui Gongyan with bad words, right?
How good was Sui Gongyan? People in the palace really didn’t know what he was doing?
At the beginning, Sui Gongyan's teaching level was not as good as that of Tang Yin's disciple Zhu Hao. This time, he was invited back because he had served as a teacher in the royal palace, and the prince and princess had high recognition. In addition, Sui Gongyan was in Anlu.
He has a certain reputation, but if he is not as good as his predecessors, who can he be the one to replace him?
Perhaps at first King Xing thought that now that the crown prince had improved academically and was more adaptable to his husband, could he listen to the lessons taught by Sui Gongyan?
Tang Yin, just leave!
But now I heard my son say that class was like listening to a book from heaven. He had no idea what Sui Gongyan was talking about. He was confused all day long. Even though Zhu Houcong, the King of Xing, took the exam several times, he was confused and didn't know what he was talking about. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If this continues, my son’s studies will be ruined!
As a parent, who doesn’t want their children to succeed? After careful consideration, it is better to quickly invite Tang Yin, whose teaching level is obviously much higher, to come back, so as not to delay the children’s learning progress.
As for Sui Gongyan...
Then find him an acting county magistrate to do it, as long as he doesn't offend anyone.
…
…
I heard that there is self-study in the afternoon and a long vacation starts the next day, so the children are not interested in studying.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Zhu San, Zhu Si and Lu Bing jumped to the inner courtyard.
Yuan Rulin went to his grandfather's place to have dinner with him, and he decided whether he would come to the school in the afternoon or not.
Zhu Hao and Jinghong had to wait until school ended in the afternoon before they could leave the palace - as companions, how could they hide while the prince was studying?
When Zhu Hao and Jinghong came out of the academy, they happened to meet Shopkeeper Ma who came to the palace to discuss purchasing matters. Shopkeeper Ma was accompanied by Zhang Zuo, Lu Song and others.
"That's right, I don't want to say that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here, but look at what a coincidence this is?" Zhang Zuobian pointed at Zhu Hao from a distance and said with a smile.
Jinghong saw that it had nothing to do with him, nodded to the visitor as a greeting, and then went to the cafeteria to eat.
Zhu Hao looked at Zhang Zuo with a cheerful face.
It is estimated that when the palace purchases goods at the end of this year, he will get a lot of benefits from it. This is the benefit of managing the palace's treasury. With the benefits in sight, it is no wonder that he and Yuan Zonggao have been at odds with each other recently.
"Zhang Fengzheng, if you discuss this matter, I will not participate."
After saying this, Zhu Hao left quickly.
Zhang Zuo stopped him quickly: "This is a lie. Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhu is the owner of the largest restaurant in the area? I didn't expect that after Mr. Su left, Mr. Zhu and Shopkeeper Ma could handle the matters assigned by the palace.
It’s so comfortable to have it done so appropriately.”
Zhu Hao smiled politely after hearing this.
Compliment me?
Sorry, I've already seen through who you are.
This year's purchase by the palace at the end of the year is basically goods provided by Su Xigui. Not only will it not make money from it, but it is also estimated to have shipping and labor costs. It can be said that the palace has bought satisfactory products at extremely low prices.
"This time, the dilapidated tables, chairs and benches throughout the palace have been replaced. With the newly purchased stone, wood and paint, there are no problems in the renovation of the palace... Now the old appearance can finally be replaced with a new one."
Zhang Zuo's face was full of pride.
The goods purchased by the palace at the end of the year are mainly furniture, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jade. It also purchased a large amount of building materials to repair existing houses.
This is exactly the project Su Xigui has high hopes for. To make the palace remember you as a person, just by providing money, food and materials... people thanked you at the time, but forgot about it afterwards.
However, repairing houses for the prince's palace, making furniture, and providing gold, silver, and jade jewelry to Neijuan are all visible and tangible things, and they are face-saving projects.
If you make the people in the palace live comfortably and use them with ease, the palace will naturally remember your contribution year after year. Together with the officials and guards below, they can also update a batch of tables, chairs and benches...
After this whole set of projects was completed, the palace regarded Su Xigui as a great benefactor.
The key is to let others know. After all, these goods were purchased by the palace with money, or from Zhu Niang and her son, and have nothing to do with Su Xigui.
The money was spent, the goal was achieved, and there were no worries. Not only was the palace satisfied, but Su Xigui would probably wake up from his dream with a smile.
Truly a win-win!
Shopkeeper Ma said: "This is all the wish of Mr. Su, his wife and the little boss."
Zhang Zuo waved his hand and said: "Stop talking, Lu Dianzhan, please help me see off the guests. We will go and report this matter to the prince. Shopkeeper Ma, let's have tea together when you have time."
"sure."
Shopkeeper Ma bowed respectfully and watched Zhang Zuo leave with the two young eunuchs.
…
…
Zhu Hao, Ma Yan and Lu Song, surrounded by several guards, walked to the gate of the palace.
Lu Song looked happy. Other people's homes only got one set of furniture, but he got two sets, and they were more advanced and gorgeous than the ones in other people's homes. Who knows that in addition to himself being the guardian of the palace's ceremonial guards, his wife Fan
As the crown prince’s nurse, would her status in the palace be more respected?
Both husband and wife were close associates of the royal family, and the difference in treatment became apparent when the things were divided at the end of the year.
I'm afraid even the palace guard Zhu Chen is not as well treated as Lu Song and his wife.
"Little boss, in the past few days... as you are worried, Miss Ouyang has indeed... gone astray." Shopkeeper Ma saw Zhu Hao and quickly told him what he knew.
Lu Song was curious, what were the two talking about?
Miss Ouyang?
Which one?
Zhu Hao explained to Lu Song: "Miss Ouyang is the owner of a business related to Nanjing Chengguo Palace. She made a special trip to the local area and wanted to purchase a batch of hot goods from me. I didn't agree. I guess she was deceived by someone.
Already."
Lu Song nodded, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with him or the palace, so he consciously took a few steps back so as not to disturb Zhu Hao and Shopkeeper Ma's conversation.
It seems that he deliberately avoided it, but Lu Song was very shrewd, and the distance between him and the two of them still ensured that he could clearly hear their conversation... I know that what you said in the palace will not harm the interests of the palace, but my curiosity leads me to
I want to hear what's going on, I just don't want to disturb you.
Shopkeeper Ma said: "It's your second master... Second master Zhu found her and said he would introduce merchants who make colored glaze... He took Miss Ouyang and his entourage directly to the Zhu family's colored glaze workshop... It's not clear what happened next. In short,
Miss Ouyang purchased a large amount of glassware from Mr. Zhu Er and prepared to transport it to Nanjing for sale."
Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "My second uncle finally found the enemy. The inventory in the warehouse can finally be sold. It is estimated that the Zhu family's glaze workshop will be able to start work again after the year."
Shopkeeper Ma sighed: "My dear boss, I'm not going to throw cold water on it. The glassware is easily damaged during transportation, is expensive to make, and is not very practical. The Ouyang family will definitely suffer a big loss if they transport it to Nanjing for sale!"
Not only did Shopkeeper Ma think of this, but even Lu Song, who had just learned about this, felt that Miss Ouyang was going to be in bad luck.
Zhu Hao said: "The Ouyang family is in dire straits and is in urgent need of finding products that can revive the family. It is impossible that we have not foreseen the risks... Whenever there is the slightest chance of making a comeback, we will seize it with all our might. This is no different from a drowning man grabbing a straw."
.If you try to persuade them now, they may think you are trying to take away their interests. Not only will they not appreciate it, they will also hold a grudge."
Shopkeeper Ma understood that Zhu Hao was not lying, so he immediately sighed, shook his head and said, "If Dongzhu Su finds out, I don't know how to explain it to him."
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Dragon Master Su knew that the Ouyang family wanted to rob him of his glass mirror business, so he lured them to Anlu. Why didn't he deliberately dig a hole? This time, the Ouyang family jumped in after being deceived.
, I guess Dongzhu Su only expressed emotion on the surface, and was more gloating in his heart, right?"
"..."
Shopkeeper Ma was speechless.
Even if this is the case, your words are too direct, right?
There are people from the palace nearby who are listening!
Zhu Hao suddenly asked: "Old Ma, how much profit will our store make before the end of the year?"
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Ma was a little surprised. He glanced back at Lu Song and wondered if it was inappropriate to say such a thing in such a place.
"Just say it."
Zhu Hao is still urging.
Shopkeeper Ma said: "I haven't calculated it in detail, after all, the business has just started... but I estimate it should be more than two hundred taels of silver. The accounts are being sorted out, and the final results will be reported to Madam as soon as possible."
Zhu Hao nodded: "In this case, you can take forty taels as your bonus."
"ah!"
Shopkeeper Ma immediately exclaimed.
Forty taels?
so much?
Are you testing whether I am greedy for money?
"I have already made an agreement with my mother. In addition to your usual salary, you will receive 10% of the profit at the end of the year. But if you make a loss, you will only get a basic salary... It is the end of the year. Since you have made money, I will give you a bonus.
From now on, you can work under my mother with peace of mind. Your family has just come to Anlu and needs money to settle down. Prepare the accounts before the end of the year. When I calculate them, the money will be transferred to your name!"
