"That's good! I've found the right person!" The servant girl clapped her hands and laughed, "My name is Xi Que, and I'm the eldest girl next to Miss Zhao's family! Just now our lady's carriage was frightened, thanks to this person who took action Nothing happened! Our young lady saw that he was very skilled and wanted to hire him as a coachman, so please give him to our Zhao family for a price!"
Magpie spoke very generously, as if you could speak whatever you want, a girl has a lot of money, and the corners of her eyes proudly slanted to Fangzhou.
Lian Fangzhou felt annoyed and funny when she saw her smug look, a servant who didn't even have personal freedom and whose life and death were in other people's hands, actually turned his head in front of her!
If it was anything else, she would immediately reject it. But Ah Jian is different. Ah Jian has lost his memory. If he lives in the city, it may be easier to inquire and be heard by others, so Lian Fangzhou pulled Ah Jian aside and said softly: "Ah Jian, Whether you want to go with her, you can consider and decide for yourself! It may be more convenient to inquire about news if you live in the city... "
"I don't want to go to Zhao's house, I'd better go back to Dafang Village with you!" Ah Jian shook her head.
Lian Fangzhou was naturally happy in his heart, and his eyes lit up, but he hesitated and said: "You, don't you need to think about it? After all—"
"No need, didn't you say that you can ask someone to inquire?" Ah Jian shook her head.
He just lost his memory, not stupid. It was his strength and skill that the Zhao family lady valued. Only in the eyes of the Lian family did he see equality and respect. For some reason, he cared about this.
If not, he would have already had a place to stay along the way, so how could he have come to this Yuhe County
It was precisely because the eyes of the people he met along the way were all focused on his strength, and they enthusiastically asked him to stay, but they only wanted to use him as a slave, so he refused all of them.
This Miss Zhao family is no different from those other families.
Hearing what he said, Lian Fangzhou subconsciously relaxed, nodded and smiled, "Well, that's good too!"
So she said to Magpie: "I'm sorry, Miss Magpie, Ah Jian is not willing, so please go back!"
The magpie was stunned in surprise, she couldn't believe it! Can't help but look at Ah Jian suspiciously.
Ah Jian said: "Fangzhou is right, thank you for your kindness!"
The magpie is in a hurry, this little thing can't be done well, what will the young lady think of her? Not caring about anything at the moment, she walked over a few steps and looked at A Jian without blinking, and asked, "Do you know which Zhao family our lady is from? There are silk and satin shops, embroidery workshops, pawnshops, and restaurants in Yuhe County. Half of the business is owned by our Zhao family! Our lady is picky, and I don’t know how many people want to work in our Zhao family. If you didn’t save our lady once, you want to enter the Zhao family’s door That's a dream! The lady said, as long as you go, your salary will be at least double what it is now!"
She gritted her teeth, and said again: "At least two renminbi a month!"
Ah Jian didn't even move her eyelids, her eyes were still flat, she shook her head and said, "Miss, please go back!"
The magpie stomped its feet, glanced at Lian Fangzhou and said, "Is someone threatening you and you are willing to let you go? Don't be afraid, just tell me that our Zhao family is one of the best in this Yuhe County. There is also a seat in front of the county magistrate!"
Lian Fangzhou bit her lip and suppressed a smile, and looked at Magpie with the same expression: it is really rare that there are such self-righteous people in the world.
Ah Jian became a little impatient, and said, "I won't go if I say no, don't you understand?"
The magpie choked, not giving up, and said to Lian Fangzhou: "Girl, I want all your charcoal. If you burn more charcoal later, you can send it to our Zhao family! We will take as much as you give! This How about giving it to our Zhao family?"
Even Fangzhou became a little angry at this time, and said lightly: "Girl Magpie, your Zhao family is rich and powerful. You don't have any kind of person. Why do you have to ask for Ajian? And I also said that everything is up to Ajian. If you don’t want to go, I have nothing to do!”
"Fangzhou, Ah Jian, what happened?" Just as they were talking, Uncle Li and Li Sanhe also came back, and gave Magpie a strange look.
Magpie saw that someone was coming, and she didn't want to entangle her anymore. She rolled her eyes and said to A Jian with a coquettish smile: "Brother A Jian, what I said is valid at any time, you should think about it carefully! You have considered it." Then go directly to the Zhao family, our Zhao family's mansion can be found out by just asking anyone in this county!"
As she said that, she smiled sweetly at A Jian, her eyes turned winkingly, and she turned her waist and swayed away.
Uncle Li, Li Sanhe and his son, who are acting like this, are getting goosebumps—you can't blame them, they are all honest farmers, where have you seen such a thing
Even Fangzhou felt a little chilly all over his body, and almost laughed in his heart, okay, even the beauty trick was used! It's just that this beauty trick is the most attractive, not just anyone can use it...
Some people use it, and it will only backfire!
Lian Fangzhou glanced at A Jian quietly, but A Jian's eyes were only disgusted, and her brows were frowned.
"The Zhao family? There is only one Zhao family that everyone in this city knows about. How did you get involved with his family?" Uncle Li was surprised.
"It's all my meddling," A Jianjian briefly explained what happened just now.
Uncle Li, father and son Li Sanhe looked at each other, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded: "Ah Jian is right not to go with her, that kind of rich family is good at bullying people! It would be better if the locals live here, In case of being wronged and bullied, there is still a backer, a foreigner like you, who has no roots and roots here, will only be bullied when he enters! It’s better if you don’t go, it’s better if you don’t go!”
The charcoal-burning business has just begun. If there is no A-Jian, people will be at a loss.
"I won't go." Ah Jian smiled.
"Let's not talk about them, Uncle Li, Brother Sanhe, what's the price you inquired about?" Lian Fangzhou laughed.
Uncle Li and Li Sanhe talked about it, and even Fangzhou said it. The four of them discussed for a while and decided on two hundred and twenty-five Wen per hundred catties. Last year it was 220 to 230 Wen per 100 catties.
So I drove the car and just went to the restaurants and shops to ask first. If you want them in these places, the quantity will always be larger.
Quite a few people met and asked, but they were not very straightforward about the price, and wanted to drop another five or six or even ten yuan. Who knows if it will be cheaper after a while? It's too early to buy now, don't lose money!
Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "It's only October now, and the frost in the morning has hardly killed anyone. It can be seen that this winter must be cold. This charcoal must be bought! I don't know if it will be expensive if it continues, but It will definitely not be cheap! Besides, wasn’t it the same price last year? If you want to be cheap, can you go to the past year? And look, our charcoal is not adulterated at all, it’s all made of hardwood, no It smokes, is resistant to burning, and has little ash, as long as someone who knows the goods can tell it at a glance! We are testing the kiln this time, so this is the price, and it will not be the price when we buy it next time!"
