Two hundred and sixtieth eight chapters deliberate
When Zhu Wanjian heard that the other party wanted to take back the goods, he was very proud and shouted: "How much damage was done? You should ask how much is left. Now there are only a lot of things left, so hurry up and pay for it!"
"ah?"
Shopkeeper Ma was shocked, looked back at Zhu Wanjian, and asked in disbelief: "Second Master Zhu, are you sure there were no accidents during the transportation? This mirror was packaged extremely tightly for you, how could it be so damaged...three sides and two sides?"
Yes, I can afford to pay for it by selling iron, but I apologize for my inability to pay for so much."
Zhu Wanjian glared: "Then see you at the Yamen!"
As he said this, he had the intention of coming up to fetch someone.
Zhu Jiashi looked on with cold eyes. At this time, her heart was sinking. She could see that it was difficult to resolve this matter properly.
Zhu Niang said: "This matter is a dispute between Su Dongzhu and the Zhu family. It has nothing to do with my third wife. However, as a Zhu family member, we cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. If Su Dongzhu doesn't give an explanation, my daughter-in-law is willing to tell her."
Mr. Su, please cut off all business dealings! The business of the collapsed house... just don’t do it!”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Jiashi vomited blood again.
The Zhu family now very much needs the trade channel between Zhu Niang and Prince Xing's palace, so that the royal family and the senior officials of Jinyiwei will feel that the Zhu family is still working hard and will not abandon it like worn out shoes.
But everyone knows that Zhu Niang is not capable of doing business with Prince Xing's Mansion. The reason why Prince Xing's Mansion chose Zhu Niang is entirely because of Su Xigui's support.
If Zhu Niang cuts off business ties with Su Xigui...
"Walk!"
Zhu Jiashi said no more nonsense, stood up and left.
Zhu Wanjian was anxious: "Mom, what are you doing? Even this woman admitted that she was responsible for the surname Su, and we just gave up?"
Zhu Jiashi didn't want to talk nonsense to her son.
"Walk!"
shouted again.
The Zhu Jia family were almost at the door, but Zhu Wanjian was still confused. The victim was here. The Zhu family clearly had the advantage, so how could they leave?
…
…
Zhu Jia walked out of the shop door and stopped to look back, only to see Zhu Wanjian following him out with an annoyed look on his face. Then he heard a "bang" sound, and Yu San and others closed the door.
"Ahem..."
Zhu Jia's figure was swaying and she could hardly stand still.
Zhu Wanjian originally wanted to avoid it, but when he saw no one around him, he had no choice but to step forward to help him, and kept talking: "Mom, why are you so merciless? This is not your usual style."
"Talking on the carriage!"
Mrs. Zhu Jia asked her son to drive the car, and the mother and son took the same car and walked to the warehouse.
On the way, Zhu Wanjian was still unwilling to give in: "Take the person to the government office and let the people from the Yamen torture him to see if the person named Su is behind it! We can't let this loss go in vain."
Zhu Jia's breath was still uneven. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and spoke feebly: "Second brother, second brother, I don't know whether it was the person named Su who caused the trouble, or something went wrong during your transportation yesterday. I only know that this matter happened to
No one will admit it..."
"What did mom say? It's definitely not our fault..."
Zhu Wanjian hurriedly defended himself.
Zhu Jiashi said: "Then why did my mother hear that after transporting the things back to the city, you didn't go to deliver the goods immediately, but went to the Jiaofang Division instead?"
Zhu Wanjian originally thought that the old lady didn't know anything about it, but in fact, the old lady knew every move of her son.
He hurriedly defended: "That's not to meet the shopkeeper Mu who is under the female proprietor of the Ouyang family. Before, we relied on him to help us make connections in the glass business. Even if something happened in our hands, it was because of Liu's poor supervision and transportation... I
I have long disliked Liu, he must have made a mistake and dare not admit it!"
At this time, Zhu Wanjian could only try his best to shift the responsibility to Butler Liu. In short, he was not wrong.
"well!"
Zhu Jiashi sighed and said, "We cooperated with the moles of the Ouyang family to hollow out the Ouyang family, but even if we didn't want to, we trapped ourselves in it...
"What's the use of sending people to the government? It's written in black and white, and they have a contract as evidence. If someone else spreads the word, who will dare to do business with my Zhu family in the future?
"If you don't go to the government and rely on people to rob it, you are still doomed to fail! Now that the third family has separated from the family, with the endorsement of the government and the squire, there is no way to change the world... Furthermore, there is no proof or evidence for this matter.
Will Fang admit that it has something to do with them?"
Zhu Wanjian said: "What does Yiniang mean, do we have to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb?"
Zhu Jia sighed: "Then what proof do you have that you are the troublemaker named Su? My brother-in-law named Su is a vassal in the province. Even if he is the governor of the province, do you think you will stand on the stand of my Zhu family? We were there a year ago
Have you not seen the position of the county government, state government, and county government office?"
Zhu Wanjian was speechless for a moment.
If it is an ordinary small business hawker or a wealthy household, the local government generally does not dare to offend the Zhu family, and they will naturally be inclined to do so. But if the target is a brother-in-law from a vassal province, the government will immediately turn their guns and target the Zhu family.
Home.
"Besides, my Zhu family still needs someone named Su to maintain business with Prince Xing's Mansion..."
Zhu Jiashi gave another reason.
"Mom, are you out of control? Even if we don't pursue the case, do you think Su or the woman from the third room will give up the channel to us? What does the Zhu family have to do with other people's business?"
At this moment, Zhu Wanjian's mind suddenly came alive and he pointed out the flaw in the old lady's words.
Zhu Jiashi said earnestly: "What I want for my mother is a channel? What I want for my mother is when I report to the court, I can justifiably say that my Zhu family has lived up to the entrustment of the court... The third family can completely represent my Zhu family and make the court feel
We have lived up to the divine grace and are working hard."
"ah?"
Zhu Wanjian naturally couldn't understand the Zhu Jia family's structure.
If you need channels, Su Xigui and Zhu Niang won't give them. It's useless if the Zhu family comes. Prince Xing's Mansion will do business with Zhu Niang but not with the Zhu family.
What the Zhu family needs is not a loss-making business, but a "name". Although the Zhu family can't do anything in this business, it makes the court feel that the Zhu family has this business because of its existence.
There are endless possibilities in dealing with Prince Xing's Mansion.
For the imperial court, the Zhu family had existence and utilization value.
"What should we do with the lost money?"
Zhu Wanjian said with a bitter face.
Zhu Jiashi said: "It's just a small loss. The Zhu family can afford it, but it's only more than a hundred taels of silver..."
While they were talking, the carriage stopped in the back alley of the warehouse, and Butler Liu hurriedly came to greet him.
"Liu, what happened after I left yesterday? You must tell me clearly now." When Zhu Wanjian saw Butler Liu, he went up to him and grabbed Butler Liu's collar, asking for help.
But Butler Liu didn't care about the difference between master and servant. He opened the door and strode to Zhu Jia's side and said: "Old madam, something happened. Somehow, the Ouyang family heard that our mirror was broken."
The young master thought that the quality of this batch of silver mirrors was not good, so he refused to accept the remaining mirrors, and even said that he would go to the government to sue us for breach of contract."
Zhu Wanjian seemed to have heard a joke and sneered: "What nonsense? It's written in black and white on paper. How dare they refuse to accept it?"
Butler Liu said: "The contract stated the business of forty mirrors, but we only got less than twenty in total...Old Madam, what's wrong with you, Old Madam?"
When Zhu Jia heard this, she fell aside as soon as she got off the carriage.
A group of people hurriedly helped Zhu Jiashi. At this time, the old lady couldn't even speak, so she walked into the shop with the help of a group of people.
Butler Liu was going to accompany Zhu Jiashi inside to discuss a countermeasure, but Zhu Wanjian turned around and scolded him angrily: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Call the doctor!"
Butler Liu suddenly realized that at this time, he was just an outsider and could not challenge the old lady's biological son.
…
…
Zhu Hao comforted Zhu Niang and hurried back to the palace.
Fortunately, I was not late for class.
However, Zhu Si and the others arrived early, but Zhu San was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Yin entered the classroom and called Zhu Hao outside. Then he saw Fan Yikuan stepping into the courtyard door. Old Fan, who had always had a stern face before, nodded to Tang Yin with a gentle expression and went into the room to teach the remaining children, leaving behind Tang Yin and Zhu Hao were in the courtyard.
"Mr. Tang called me out, didn't he intend to open a small stove for me?" Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yin shook his head: "I came here to ask you how the business with the Zhu family is going? I was talking about today today, right?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It's rare that you still care about my business... As expected, with my efforts, the Zhu family lost more than two hundred taels in this transaction, and I also made some pocket money."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao: "Aren't you afraid that the Zhu family will cause trouble for you?"
"Trouble? It's weird to be afraid!"
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "I am about to take part in the imperial examination. Originally, I was worried that the Zhu family would take the opportunity to cause trouble, such as returning the position that belonged to my military family to me, using the excuse that I would fill my father's official vacancy in the future. Cut off my path to the imperial examination...I'll find a way to take it away from me later.
"Or they may make a fuss about my county examination certificate and ask the village elders to come forward to prevent me from taking the imperial examination... They suddenly suffered a heavy loss. Now they should be worried about how to pay back the money and have no intention of paying attention to my affairs anymore, right?"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "So you suddenly caused trouble for the Zhu family to pave the way for your own imperial examination?"
Zhu Hao thought for a while, shook his head and sighed: "That's not entirely true... It can't be justified to have money but not to make money. We want the Zhu family to know the consequences of dealing with our orphans and widowed mothers! There is another important reason, and that is to let Prince Xing's Mansion and Dongzhu Su knows that we are incompatible with the Zhu family, which will help me stay in the palace in the future."
"Um?"
Tang Yin's eyes were full of surprise.
What seems like a childish and willful fight is actually a well-thought-out strategy?
Paving the way for the imperial examination, making money and taking revenge on the Zhu family, these reasons are all far-fetched, but what Zhu Hao said at the end can be said to have touched Tang Yin's heart.
Why should Prince Xing’s Mansion trust Mother Zhu and her son, who are from the Zhu family of Qianhu Family in Jinyiwei? Haven’t they seen that they have been oppressed by the Zhu family and know that they will not go against Prince Xing’s Mansion for the sake of the Zhu family!
But this kind of thing is not about the superficial relationship, but what is more important is to see the actual actions.
The more Zhu Hao makes the family relationship become more serious and conflicting, the more the Xing Palace will feel relieved and the more they will trust Zhu Hao.
Tang Yin said: "Are you afraid that after taking the county examination and the government examination, Prince Xing's palace will not continue to keep you, so you will make some fuss about your relationship with the family?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "It's all just a matter of chance, a battle of wills. Sometimes I don't think about it that much."
"I think it's not that you haven't thought about it that much, but that you have thought about everything in advance! You, you, are so thoughtful at such a young age, no wonder you went to Nanchang and brought me to Anlu, I don't know
I really regret that I had to go to Anlu for a trip, and I regret even more that I listened to your lies after meeting your kid!"
I was sighing with a straight face at first, but after saying it I couldn't help but shake my head, and a smile from the heart appeared on my face like "I still understand you."
