"Oh, I made Miss Qiaoer wait so anxiously. It's a sin, it's a sin. Didn't I happen to see a very beautiful wooden hairpin on the way back? Brother, I was shocked when I saw Miss Qiaoer's handsome appearance for the first time.
God, as the saying goes, a hero deserves a BMW, and a beauty deserves a beautiful jade. But I was really short of money, so I bought it and prepared to give it to you, Miss Qiaoer. Thank you, Miss Qiaoer, for giving me the opportunity to do this work.
Chance."
Zhu Hansan took out a wooden hairpin from his arms and handed it to Qiaoer, smiling.
This time I really had to thank him, otherwise Zhu Hansan would not have received his first commission in his life so quickly. In return, Zhu Hansan bought a wooden hairpin to express his gratitude.
"This...you...really gave it to me?"
Qiaoer's pretty face turned red with embarrassment, she pulled her clothes and lowered her head, her voice was like a mosquito buzzing.
"Yes, I just came here for the first time. Miss Qiao'er, you rewarded me for doing this. I'm very grateful."
If he wasn't so close, Zhu Hansan really couldn't hear clearly what Qiao'er was saying just now.
"Thank you then. Give me the sword. You can go down and rest. I'll call you if I need anything!"
Qiao'er took the wooden hairpin, then stretched out her jade hand to ask for the sword.
Afterwards, with nothing to do, Zhu Hansan went to see Li San to deepen their relationship and said that they would go drinking together when they were free.
Originally, part-time workers like Zhu Hansan were not provided with food, but they couldn't handle it because they had Butler Zhang as a boob, so they had dinner at Zhang's house and packed food for his mother before going home.
"Son, have you had a hard day?"
Just after returning home, Zhu's mother looked at the food box in Zhu Hansan's hand, her eyes lit up and she smiled.
"It's not bad. This is the food the child brought back. Mother, you can just eat some. When the child has money, you can give her mother meat!"
Seeing his mother waiting for him at home all day, Zhu Hansan felt a little sad. He thought about his mother's inconvenient legs and feet, and wondered whether he should hire someone to take care of him. But then he thought about it, he was just a servant, how could he afford to let others take care of him?
Serve your mother.
"Mom, what did you eat for lunch?"
"Isn't there some leftover porridge in the pot? Mother doesn't eat much, so she won't be hungry."
"Mother, I will bring you three meals a day from now on. Just don't walk around. It won't be good if you bump into each other. When I have money, I will ask someone to come back and serve you specifically."
"What kind of servant are you asking for? Our family is not rich. If we have money, we have to save it for marrying a wife in the future. You kid, don't be lavish. By the way, how much money can you get every month?"
"Four hundred dollars!"
Zhu Hansan grinned in distress at the thought of paying Butler Zhang ten days' wages.
"Oh, it's a little less, but the official family still lacks this little money? But you have to remember it for your mother, and you can't ask for people's money!"
"I know, mother, just wait and enjoy your happiness!"
In the middle of the night, Zhu's mother had fallen asleep. Zhu Hansan came to the door alone, sat on a stone and looked up at the scattered stars in the sky. He sighed: "Oh, it's only your first day here, why are you so tired?"
What? I wonder if the parents over there are still well? Forget it, I'll be fine now that I'm here, maybe I can go back in the future. I only have 600 money in my hand, which is not even enough to pay off the debt. How can I survive!
"
The next day, Zhu Hansan arrived at Zhang Mansion early to wait. He had no choice but to continue to work as an errand boy because he had not saved enough start-up capital.
"Ah, why did you come so early?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Qiao'er rubbed her eyes and just walked out of the small courtyard when she saw Zhu Hansan already sitting at the foot of the tree waiting, and stepped forward to ask.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid, Miss Qiao'er, that you won't be able to do it alone? I can't sleep, so I might as well get up early and come to my house to see if there's anything I can do."
Looking at the wooden hairpin on Qiaoer's head, Zhu Hansan grinned and said, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful."
Qiao'er immediately looked shy and quickly lowered her head like an ostrich. After being silent for a long time, she asked softly: "Is the hairpin more beautiful, or is the person more beautiful?"
"The hairpin is beautiful, but the person is even better!"
Who is Zhu Hansan? This little yellow-haired girl can do it in a few clicks.
"Ah, are you shy?"
Qiaoer stomped her feet in embarrassment and hesitated for a while before saying, "Miss, get up. I'll go get the hot water."
"Hot water? I brought it a long time ago. Here, you can put it in! It's still hot!"
Zhu Hansan took out a bucket of hot water from behind the tree and placed it in front of Qiaoer, smiling.
"you..."
Qiaoer had a complicated look in her eyes and stared at Zhu Hansan for a long time.
"Hey, I washed my face when I got up in the morning? Did I not wash it thoroughly?"
Zhu Hansan was a little funny, and he quickly touched his face and said.
"You are really different from others!"
Qiao'er rolled her eyes, reached out and pinched Zhu Hansan's arm, and walked into the small courtyard with hot water. (Women in the Han Dynasty were relatively open-minded, after all, the Confucian etiquette dogma of restricting women was only in its infancy)
After being busy in Miss San's yard, most of them were trivial matters. At noon, Zhu Hansan even took the time to bring some food home. As soon as he came to work in the afternoon, he heard a sound of coquettish drinks coming from the small yard, followed by
There was also ping ping ping pong, and when Zhu Hansan heard it, he almost rushed in to see what was going on.
Not long after, I saw Qiaoer walking out of the small courtyard and said to Zhu Hansan: "Zhu Hansan, the lady lost her temper just now and broke the table. Go to Wanmuzhai and have someone make another one. Remember?"
, use good red sandalwood.”
"Rosewood?"
Zhu Hansan had little education, but he also knew the value of this red sandalwood. Could it be that its value was discovered in the Han Dynasty?
"What? Don't you know? That's wood only found in places like Jiaozhou and Jiangdong. The shopkeepers there don't dare to use other wood until they directly reveal their identity."
Qiaoer explained patiently.
"Oh, okay, sister Qiao'er, don't worry, how could I be deceived? I'm going right away."
Zhu Hansan nodded in agreement and turned around to leave.
Wanmuzhai is an old store in Jingxian County, and Zhu Hansan had heard about it, but his family had no money before, so he had never gone in. After walking, Zhu Hansan finally came to the door of Wanmuzhai. This store was quite decorated.
Be particular about it. After stating your identity, the store manager will accompany you personally.
"This little brother is very nervous. In the past, it was Miss Qiaoer who came to make custom orders!"
The shopkeeper's surname is Zhu, and he is well-known. He is fair and fat, and you can tell from a glance that he has lived a happy life.
"Shopkeeper, are all the red sandalwoods you have here good quality?"
Zhu Hansan sighed in his heart. Judging from Zhu Wen's words, he knew that Miss Zhang Fusan was a frequent visitor here. At least he could conclude that Qiaoer came here many times to make custom orders, so he immediately stopped making money.
The idea of price difference.
"That's natural. Mr. Zhang is the county captain of our Jing County, and the red sandalwood I use is the best."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
!”
Zhu Wen's eyes were full of shrewdness, which showed that he was a veteran in shopping malls.
"How much will it cost and when will it be ready?"
Zhu Hansan lost interest and asked with a shrug.
"Usually, when Miss Qiaoer comes to customize a table, I charge three thousand yuan. Since this is my first time here, and we are from the same family, I can't let you go in vain. Let's do this. The price will be disclosed to others.
It’s still 3,000 yuan, but this time we only charge 2,800 yuan. How about it? You can pick it up in three days.”
Seeing Zhu Hansan's expression, Zhu Wen couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he immediately gave some profit.
"Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
Zhu Hansan clasped his fists, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, and he shouted excitedly: "Why didn't I think of that? If this thing happens, it will at least be a historic stage, haha..."
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhu Hansan acting crazy and talking to himself, Zhu Wen was startled and asked quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Shopkeeper, I'll leave now. Maybe we can still work together."
Zhu Hansan's eyes were bright and he was very excited.
"Oh? Then I'll look forward to seeing my little brother take over again."
Zhu Wen didn't take it seriously and said something perfunctory to end the matter.
In the following days, Zhu Hansan went to work in Zhang's house every day. After work, he would write and draw in the yard of his home. He had no choice but to use paper because it was too expensive.
"No, if I use this thing to cooperate with Zhu Wen, will he take over the dove's nest and leave me alone? But if I don't cooperate with him, where will I get those precious woods? Zhu Wen, this
Since the old boy can get red sandalwood from Jiaozhou, it can be seen that he still has some connections. If he opens another store to compete with him for business, he might be strangled to death before it develops. Oh, how difficult it is!"
Zhu Hansan was sitting alone in the courtyard, thinking about the future development route. (Some people would say here, shouldn’t the light shine and all the heroes come to join us to fight for world hegemony?). If someone told Zhu Hansan that, then he would definitely criticize that person.
He looked like he had no money or food, so how could he recruit troops or buy horses? Ordinary swords cost 700 to 800 yuan each, and he only had 600 yuan a month, and he had to give 200 yuan to Butler Zhang, including food and drinks.
, it’s considered amazing to be able to save three hundred dollars a month, let alone owe a lot of debt.
Being an official makes money quickly, but these days, even a small official without a formal establishment is being robbed, which is easier said than done. Forget it, I'll just make money with peace of mind.
'I'm afraid of being eaten, so why not find someone with status to join in, preferably someone with official status!'
After thinking about it, Zhu Hansan suddenly had an idea. He got up and walked into the house, took a drawing he had drawn before, then left the yard and walked towards Wang Wu's house.
"Fifth brother, are you here?"
Zhu Hansan knocked on the door of Wang Wu's house. The house was not big, but it was much better than Zhu Hansan's house. At least it was not big in area.
"My dear, why are you looking for me so late? There is a curfew in the city at night, so be careful of getting caught."
Wang Wu was a little angry. He wanted to yell at him, but when he saw that it was Zhu Hansan who came to him, he couldn't. Maybe it was because the poor boy in front of him really liked him.
"Fifth brother, I have a big deal here. If it is done well, we brothers can live a good life!"
Seeing that Wang Wu's expression was wrong, Zhu Hansan felt bitter in his heart and quickly told him about the good thing.
