As soon as Yao Zhenfu finished saying that it was hard to find a job, Li Laogen immediately told him that Li Qingzhi had found a job... Yao Zhenfu's face didn't look good.
Li Laogen was unaware of this and continued, "Master Zhu thinks highly of my Ah Qing. Not only does he pay Ah Qing one penny a day, he also provides her with food! Master Zhu even invited Ah Qing to dinner today, and even invited Xiao Ye and me, and bought us some buns to take home."
Li Laogen looked very proud when he spoke, which made Yao Chengong envious.
Mr. Yao sent his son to study in the county. In fact, he did not expect his son to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. He only hoped that his son could find a decent job in the county, without having to do the hard farm work in the fields, or rowing a boat in the wind and sun like him.
But his son has been studying for more than ten years, and not only has he failed to pass the imperial examination, he has also not found a good job.
Yao Yugong was very curious about the fact that Li Qingzhi had found a job, and he immediately asked about it, wanting to know what kind of work Li Qingzhi was going to do.
"It's to copy books for Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu asked Ah Qing to go to his house to help copy books." Li Laogen answered quickly.
"Copying books is so profitable?" Yao Tangong was a little surprised. He worked hard to row the boat all day and also helped to move the goods, but he might not even earn a penny in a day.
"Anyway, Mr. Zhu said he would give it to you." Li Laogen said.
"Brother Li, are you going to copy a book? The handwriting needs to be neat when copying a book. Can you...can you write well?" Yao Zhenfu frowned and looked at Li Qingzhi.
He knew the situation of the Li family very well. Li Qingzhi hadn't picked up a pen for five years!
Even if you can hold a pen, Li Qing
Zhi is so thin and you can tell at a glance that he doesn't have much strength. How can he write well
Li Qingzhi saw that Yao Zhenfu was not very happy, and said, "Mr. Zhu asked me to copy books because he knew that my family was poor and he wanted to help me." Although Yao Zhenfu was not very kind to his parents, he had lent him books, and Li Qingzhi did not want to lose face for Yao Zhenfu.
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhenfu said, "So that's how it is! I wonder which Mr. Zhu it is?" Li Qingzhi must have looked so pitiful that he attracted the sympathy of that Mr. Zhu.
Li Qingzhi said: "It's Mr. Zhu from Shunlong Commercial Bank." The commercial bank under Zhu Qian was called Shunlong Commercial Bank.
When Yao Zhenfu heard the words "Shunlong Trading Company", his face changed again.
Yao Zhenfu had been studying with a scholar named Li.
Li Xiucai opened a large school and enrolled many students. One of them was named Zhu, whose father was Mr. Zhu, the boss of Shunlong Commercial Bank.
Yao Zhenfu had always been well behaved in the school, never offended anyone, and had no conflicts with Young Master Zhu, but he always told his family that he was one of the best students in the school, but in fact... his knowledge was just average, below average.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to pass the county exam, let alone the exam for a scholar. But he didn't want to make a living by rowing a boat like his father, and he didn't want to farm, which was too shameful!
In the past few years, he has actually been wanting to find a job in the county town, and even asked a middleman to help him find one.
The middleman did introduce a few jobs to him, but he was not satisfied with any of them.
For example, let him be a shopkeeper... If he becomes a shopkeeper, when his classmates come to buy things, does he still have to greet them with a smile
