Zhu Kui had known for a long time that Zhao Bancheng had a second daughter, but he had never covered her face in these days, and he didn't want to see a maid acting bossy.
"The script of "The Romance of the Gods" is a secret. Only I, the boss and Manager Zhang know about it. If you want to read it, please go to the lobby every day and listen to what Manager Zhang has to say. I can't give it to Miss Xiaoqiu, please.
Return."
In fact, after mixed and modified based on the memories of the previous life, everything has been completed and has been kept by him personally. Manager Zhang comes to collect it regularly. Only Zhao Bancheng has seen it. It is okay for the second lady to want to see it in advance. It is just so rude. He Zhu
Kuipian doesn't sell her face.
"You, to be honest, you are just a useful servant, how dare you be so rude."
Zhu Kui refused, Xiao Qiu said with a blush on her face. She wanted to step forward and grab the bamboo slips beside him, but when she saw Zhu Kui's eyes showing anger, she, a girl of eighty or nine years old, stopped in fear, with tears in her eyes.
"A Zhan is seeing off the guests. I am writing at a critical moment. You have disturbed me and I can't write the story. The big boss has to deal with you both."
Zhu Kui brought out the name of Zhao Bancheng, the head of the family, and calmed Xiaoqiu. He said that she was just a maid. If she offended this popular servant in front of the master, her young lady could save her, and a punishment would be inevitable.
.
"Okay, young man, I'll take her away right now." In response, Azhan hurriedly pulled her out.
"A Cheng, what are you looking at?"
"Third brother, that girl is very beautiful."
Zhu Kui looked at his stunned look and scolded with a smile: "Don't forget the glory of your ancestors, your studies are the most important thing. In the future, the third brother will find you a woman as beautiful as Daji to be your wife."
"Then I don't want it. That's just a vixen." Wang Cheng shrank his tongue, muttered and continued to immerse himself in endorsing.
Outside the house, Xiao Qiu said to A Zhan while walking: "I will go back and tell the lady that this boy is extremely rude, and ask her to tell the master to fire that boy."
"Xiao Qiu, this young gentleman is actually very kind. It's you..." A Zhan was glared at by him and immediately stopped talking. Cancan followed.
Zhao Mansion occupies a vast area, with countless overlapping courtyards, exquisite and elegant pavilions, and precious flowers and trees planted everywhere in the mansion, which is a typical Yangzhou style.
"Oh, are you saying that Zhu Kui refuses?"
"Yes, miss, that guy is extremely rude and even used the master to scare Xiaoqiu."
The little maid complained angrily.
"Father said that this young man is different from ordinary people. It seems that there is something different. Since he doesn't want to, let's forget it. We will watch it at home these days. From tomorrow we will go to Piaoxiang Building to listen to Uncle Zhang."
The voice was elegant and polite, and there was a young girl wearing a pomegranate-dyed dance skirt, a double-ringed fairy bun, and a smile on her face. She was the second daughter of Zhao Bancheng.
On the second day, at dawn, the master and servant finished dressing up early and came to Zhao Bancheng.
"Father, you go to Piaoxiang Building early every day to take care of the accounts. Thank you for your hard work. Let your daughter help you with some help today."
"Oh, my good daughter, why did you learn arithmetic from your husband a few days ago? Do you want to come here to practice with your father? Come and sit down and eat and talk."
Zhao Bancheng ate the side dishes one by one. The whole table was full of exquisite breakfasts. Of course, they were all for that day, but by the standards of later generations, it was okay not to mention them. The second Miss Zhao sat down alone, while Xiaoqiu stood pouring wine and serving.
.
"The child just wants to be more filial to his father." He said that he personally served his father food.
"Yesterday, you asked Xiaoqiu to go look for Zhu Kui? But it was a mistake. That young man is extraordinary and has a stubborn temper. He refused the request of the host lady."
As the head of the family, everyone in the family will report to him all the big and small things. When Xiaoqiu heard this, she thought Zhu Kui had gone to file a complaint, and knelt down in fear: "Master, I..."
"Father." Not wanting her father to know about this, the second young lady quickly begged.
"Let's give it up this time. Remember, although the second lady dotes on you, she cannot be pampered. Do you remember?"
"I remember this, sir." Xiaoqiu replied timidly.
"Father, this was all my idea, so don't blame Xiaoqiu."
Miss Zhao Er put down her chopsticks and dragged the other person's arm to act coquettishly.
"Okay, stop shaking. You are still asking me to let my father eat. If you think of Piaoxianglou to help, it is too late for my father to be happy."
Zhao Bancheng took away his daughter's hand lovingly, stroked her hair and said.
After breakfast, the father and daughter went to Piaoxiang Building together...
When Shopkeeper Wu saw that his second young lady wanted to learn business, he repeatedly praised her: "My lady is talented and intelligent, and she will definitely be able to help my employer a lot in the future."
"Please see, these are the daily records of the incoming and outgoing accounts of my Piaoxiang Building. Our main daily expense is the purchase of ingredients. During this time, Lao Zhang's story comes alive. The income from tea and wine exceeds accommodation and food."
Zhao Bancheng also has a winery in Moling. This wine is self-brewed and supplied, using the latest winemaking technology in the world - the Jiuyangchun winemaking method. This method emphasizes that during the fermentation cycle, the raw materials are not added all at once, but divided into separate parts.
For nine times of investment, soak the song first, add one stone of rice for the first time, then add one stone of rice every three days, and add nine times. Although it is not a secret technique passed down from the ancestors, he spent a lot of money to buy it.
"I know, Uncle Wu, I will read it slowly. By the way, when will Uncle Zhang start storytelling?"
Shopkeeper Wu replied casually: "It will be another hour. There is a special room on the second floor that is reserved for the boss for his own use. Will the lady be with the boss?"
"Then it's troublesome, Uncle Wu."
Shopkeeper Wu resigned and left. Zhao Bancheng smiled and put his hand on his daughter's shoulder and said: "Old Wu has been with me for many years and has been loyal. Since I want to help my father, I should learn from him and restrain my young lady's temper."
Today, Zhang Ziran is still talking about the romance of the gods. He talks about the time when Kong Xuan, the commander-in-chief of Jinji Ridge, hit Jiang Ziya with a five-color divine light and everyone was helpless. In the end, the Western sage Zhun Tidong came to subdue this person.
In the middle of the trip, Miss Zhao Er made two excuses for Xiao Qiu to go out, and shook her head one after another when she came back.
"But I can't find Zhu Kui."
Zhao Bancheng smiled with kind eyes, seeing that his father had seen through it, Miss Zhao's face turned red: "It's not that my father has often praised this person in the past few years, my daughter is just curious."
"No need to look for it. He asked me for a day's leave yesterday. He should have gone out with his brother. He may be back in the evening."
Miss Zhao Er scolded, turned around and continued to listen to the natural talk, no longer paying attention to her father's wise smiling face.
－－－－－－－－－－－－
On Xicheng Street in Moling County, two teenagers were walking on the street, asking about something while walking. Suddenly, the older one sneezed and wiped it with his sleeve, his face a little surprised.
"Why did you sneeze? Someone mentioned my name."
Wang Cheng turned around and looked around, and replied in confusion: "Did someone call you Third Brother? Why didn't I hear it?"
Seeing that Wang Chengxin thought it was true, Zhu Kui was amused and changed the subject: "Okay, Acheng, this time we are going to visit Master Wang Ying. I heard that he is well-known in the green forest and has excellent boxing and kicking skills.
Yes, your third brother, I have advanced the money from Zhao Dong’s house this time. You and I should work hard. You have also seen the young ranger’s ability to fight the big insects that night. You are destined to be a general. You don’t have good martial arts skills.
No matter what, don’t disgrace your ancestor’s reputation.”
Wang Cheng waved his little fist and said: "Don't worry, third brother, I will practice martial arts with all my heart."
At such a young age, he shows a bit of a martial character.
In recent days, the lives of the two brothers Zhu Kui have gradually stabilized. After completing a certain amount of manuscripts every day, they can't just waste time doing nothing. Soon Zhu Kui remembered the experience of encountering a tiger that night and decided to find some boxing and kicking masters to practice some martial arts.
Wang Ying was the result of Zhu Kui's investigation in the past two days. When he was young, this person was somewhat famous in the Huaihe River area, and also had some bad reputations in the green forest. When he got older, he stopped fighting and killed and retired in Moling.
, and at the same time teach fists and kicks as a means of living.
The two wandered a few streets and came to Wang Ying's residence. In a small courtyard, the sound of fists and kicks could be heard. When they went in, they saw five or six young people squatting on their horses and clapping their hands.
It was easy to become a disciple of Wang Ying. After paying the money, the old man who had retired from the world didn't say anything. He didn't even care about their young age. He even skipped the ceremony of becoming a disciple. He jumped in the queue and started to fight with the group.
Palm.
"Could he have encountered a liar master who is both powerful and powerful?" Zhu Kui thought to himself, but he had no choice. He didn't know the situation of martial arts in this era. Even if this old man with a gray beard didn't have much ability, he was at least on the Green Forest Road.
Having been around, you should know a lot about martial arts, and you should be clear about whether there is internal strength and true energy.
The two of them met together for a day, and they also had lunch at Wang Ying's house. Wang Ying was quite advanced and already paid for lunch.
Although the country man works a lot on weekdays, one day he rode down, draining the energy from both of their calves, and they staggered back to Piaoxiang Tower.
It was already dark at this time, and the storytelling night in the front hall of the restaurant was over. I passed the counter and greeted Shopkeeper Wu, ran to the kitchen, found two plates of meat and devoured it.
Wang Ying's family is not rich, and the people who learn boxing are only from a well-off family, so the food they sell at noon are just ordinary coarse food. It's not that they are naughty, but they are used to eating big fish and meat these days, and it is difficult to change for a while.
Soon after eating a few pieces of cooked beef and patting their bellies, the two brothers were satisfied. At the end of the day, they both caught two chicken legs and wandered back to the room covered in oil. How could they eat so much?
He shouted, these are actually Zhao Bancheng's tacit approval. Zhu Kui's interests are extraordinary in his eyes. Besides, they are just children. They can eat wherever they can. He is half the city's rich and will not be afraid of being poor.
