"Well, that's good, that's good. From now on, I will go to the accounting office to collect my wages and go home at Xu time every day, and I will report to the house at Yin time."
Butler Zhang nodded slightly. Although he had little money, he was still a little happy. Who wouldn't be happy if he came for nothing?
Under the leadership of a servant, Zhu Hansan quickly arrived outside the third lady's courtyard.
"What are you doing here? Who asked you to come?"
As soon as Zhu Hansan arrived, he saw a little maid who was only fifteen or sixteen years old walking out of the yard, pinching her waist and asking.
"The villain's name is Zhu Hansan. Butler Zhang asked me to come here. From now on, I will run errands specifically for Miss Third. This little...sister, what do you call me?"
Zhu Han is thirty-six years old. Seeing that this girl is not even older than him, he just wanted to call her "little sister", but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he quickly changed his name and called her "little sister".
"Well, it's not bad. You have such a sweet mouth! My name is Qiao'er, and I am the third lady's personal maid. Remember to call me Sister Qiao'er from now on."
Qiaoer immediately smiled and replied.
"That's it, that's it. Sister Qiao'er, you look so lovely. When I called you Sister Qiao'er, I was afraid that I would call you old!"
When Zhu Han saw the pole climbing up, he quickly chatted with Qiaoer.
After this back and forth, Qiao'er was teased so much that her delicate body trembled, and she felt very fond of him.
"Oh, by the way, the lady asked me to go to the blacksmith shop in the city to get her a sword. You just happened to be here. Come on, I will take you to the accounting office to pay the money. I will leave this matter to you!"
Qiaoer suddenly thought that he still had something to do, but after looking at Zhu Hansan, he smiled sweetly.
"good."
Zhu Hansan quickly followed Qiaoer.
"Miss, I'm in a hurry. You should go quickly."
After paying the money, Qiaoer made an explanation and left.
"Tsk, tsk, it should be more than 10,000 yuan, right?" (Usually for wealthy families, custom-made items are delivered to their door, but for the needs of the plot, they are slightly modified.)
After Qiaoer left, Zhu Hansan opened the cloth bag and looked at the copper coins inside. The strings were tied with iron wires. He was frightened by the sight and almost thought of running away with the money, but after thinking about it, Zhu Hansan gave up. After thinking this, the Zhang family was a wealthy family here, so he didn't dare to leave just like that.
"My dear, I heard that you are going out to get the sword for the third lady?"
At some point, Butler Zhang appeared behind Zhu Hansan.
"Ah? It turns out you are here. Yes, you are counting the money and getting ready to go out!"
Zhu Hansan was startled, turned around and saw that it was Butler Zhang and replied quickly.
"Well, that's good, that's good. You can gain the third lady's trust when you first come here. You have a bright future! This time, you can go out alone to do things. After you exercise, there is no need for others to follow you!"
Butler Zhang gave Zhu Hansan a meaningful look and said to the person sent by the accounting office.
"Uh? Okay!"
Zhu Hansan is also considered a good person, and he immediately understood the old man's intention. It seemed that he wanted to use his hand to enrich his own pockets, but since you, an old boy, want to eat, I have to drink some soup.
'It's better to hurry up and get the matter settled, who knows what kind of temper that third lady is!'
After Butler Zhang left, Zhu Hansan quickly put away his thoughts, tightened his cloth bag, and walked quickly outside the house.
I didn't see Li San when I left Zhang's Mansion, maybe he was busy elsewhere. Originally, Zhu Hansan had planned to express his gratitude in person, but he could only postpone the matter.
After finding the blacksmith shop, Zhu Hansan walked straight in. Seeing that he was well-dressed, the people inside quickly stepped forward to greet the guests and said, "Sir, what are you doing?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What do you want to buy? What we have here is definitely the best.”
"I'm from the Zhang family, and I'm here to pick up the sword customized by my lady!"
It was Zhu Hansan's first time to go out for business and he had money in hand, so he naturally wanted to bargain so that he could perform well with his boss in the future. However, with Butler Zhang in the middle, it would be impossible without bargaining.
"Ah, it turns out he is a distinguished guest from the Zhang family, please wait a moment!"
After the man learned Zhu Hansan's identity, he quickly turned around and walked into the back room.
Not long after, I saw a strong man walking out of the back room carrying a rectangular wooden box. The man was shirtless and covered with sweat and black ash. When he saw Zhu Hansan, the man quickly handed over his hand.
He smiled and said: "I am Li Hu, the owner of this blacksmith shop. This is the sword customized by the third lady of your house."
"Well, it's a good sword. How much does it cost?"
Zhu Hansan opened the wooden box, pretended to taste it and then said.
This sword is slightly heavy in the hand. It is about two feet long and only a few inches wide. It should be a lady's sword.
"Miss Qiaoer paid five hundred yuan as a down payment before, and I can just give you another nine thousand five hundred yuan."
Li Hu said with a smile.
"Has the price been negotiated?"
Zhu Hansan took back his sword and asked.
"We make hundred-forged swords and sell them for 10,000 yuan."
Li Hu didn't know why and replied.
"Oh, in that case, seven thousand!"
Zhu Hansan raised his eyebrows, stretched out his fingers and gestured.
"Sir, you are not a sincere businessman! Where is the hundred-forged sword worth only 7,000?"
Li Hu frowned slightly, stretched out a finger and replied: "Ten thousand dollars is ten thousand dollars. The Zhang family has a big business, so they don't need this little money, right?"
"Seven thousand and five, let's just make friends. I'll come back to you to make weapons in the future!"
"Ninety-five thousand, any less and I'll lose!"
Now Li Hu also understood why Zhu Hansan was like this, and after hesitating for a while, he replied.
"Eight thousand, this time it's like a new one, I'll treat you to a drink next time!"
After seeing that Li Hu really gave up the price, Zhu Hansan suddenly became in a good mood.
"Nine thousand, we can run a small shop on a small budget. We can't afford any less. Brother, please don't be too shady!"
Li Hu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and gritted his teeth as he replied.
"Okay, nine thousand is nine thousand."
Zhu Han smiled happily, took off the cloth bag and started to count the money.
Li Hu was covered in cold sweat. Zhu Hansan's bargaining skills were really good. After a few moments, Li Hu couldn't resist, and he nodded in confusion and agreed.
"Here, here are eight thousand five hundred dollars. Count them."
Zhu Hansan readily handed over the money and asked Li Hu to issue a proof of receipt of 10,500 yuan.
"Brother Li, if someone asks you about it in the future, you will still say it is 10,500 yuan."
While Li Hu was counting the money, Zhu Hansan pretended to be fine and said.
"Oh, you little brother is so unkind. I, Lao Li, have been here in Jingxian County for decades. I know what to say and what not to say. However, if there is another job in your house in the future, I will get it.
Think of brother first!"
The fact that Zhu Hansan could go out to do things with so much money on his own made Li Hu feel that his status in the Zhang family was not low. After some planning, Li Hu gave him some benefits.
"Brother Li is a cheerful person and has good craftsmanship. I am naturally happy to see Brother Li's business prosper!"
Seeing that Li Hu was so wise, Zhu Hansan naturally wanted to compliment him.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Zhu Hansan hurriedly walked towards his home. This time he came out and paid 10,000 yuan from the accounting office. After deducting the cost, he still had 1,500 yuan. Butler Zhang would definitely give some away, but he also
You have to save some, you have to get benefits when doing things for others, otherwise no one wants to do something thankless.
After quietly returning home, Zhu Hansan hid the five hundred coins in a clay pot and went out again to Zhang's house.
"Are you Zhu Hansan?"
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Zhang Mansion, Zhu Hansan was stopped by someone.
"It's me. I wonder what's wrong with this big brother?"
Zhu Hansan asked, not knowing why.
"Butler Zhang asked me to wait for you here, and said he would ask you to see him as soon as you return home."
The man told Zhu Hansan and turned around to leave.
'Tsk, tsk, this old thing really can't wait.'
Zhu Hansan shook his head with a wry smile and walked straight towards Butler Zhang's residence.
"Butler Zhang, I'm back. Why did you call me?"
When he walked into the door, he saw Butler Zhang sitting there drinking tea, very leisurely. Although his stomach kept murmuring, Zhu Hansan still behaved very respectfully.
"The mistress is here. How did things go this time? Did the third mistress get her sword back? How much does the other party want it to cost?"
Butler Zhang blew some hot air and asked slowly.
"I got the sword back and inspected it on site. Although my Zhang family has a big business, I have to be careful when buying things. When I first came here, I was good at bargaining with the other party. In the end, it came to 9,500 yuan.
The deposit was settled, and I also brought back a thousand dollars. Since you keep asking about it, I'd like to ask you to return the money to the accountant. I also want to give the third lady a sword. I really can't spare my time, so I'm bothering Butler Zhang."
Zhu Hansan took off the cloth bag and placed it in front of Butler Zhang, and chuckled.
"Oh? What about the blacksmith?"
Butler Zhang asked with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"But don't worry, Butler Zhang. In order to maintain the prestige of my Zhang family, they will tell the public that it is 10,500 yuan."
Zhu Hansan had already scolded his mother in his heart, but his face was still respectful, secretly thinking that this old man was very bad, he wanted to be a bitch and also wanted to build a memorial arch.
"Yes, it's really good. You are quite talented. I like your little mouth."
After listening to Zhu Hansan's words, Butler Zhang smiled from ear to ear. While checking the money in the bag, he smiled and praised: "I will give you more snacks in the future. I won't treat you badly. Here, here is one hundred dollars."
, take it.”
After counting the money, Butler Zhang took out one hundred dollars from his bag and handed it to Zhu Hansan. It was regarded as errand money and hush money.
"Oh, there are such good things in the world. I went out and actually picked up a hundred dollars. Butler Zhang, you are really a noble person to me!"
Zhu Hansan stuffed the money into his arms and laughed.
"Well, you go and give the sword to the third lady!"
Seeing Zhu Hansan being so polite, Butler Zhang was naturally very happy and dismissed Zhu Hansan with a casual wave of his hand.
"Bah, you old man, you ate so much to give me this little! Fortunately, I saved a little."
As soon as he left Butler Zhang's room, Zhu Hansan spit thick phlegm on the ground and left cursing.
On the way, I met Qiao'er, who was a little angry and asked, "Zhu Hansan, why are you taking so long to do things? The third lady is already impatient!"
In her opinion, she could just go to the blacksmith shop, pay the money and get the sword and then come back. But Zhu Hansan actually went there for nearly an hour.
