Rise of the Poor

Chapter 816: Princess Ning'an who takes pleasure in other's misfortune

Views:

You can choose not to listen to your brother, but you still have to listen to Concubine Du. Concubine Du loved me the most when I was a child. Thinking of Concubine Du's instructions yesterday, Princess Ning'an resisted the urge to teach Zhu Ping'an a lesson.

But just as he was about to hold back his impulse, he saw Zhu Ping'an directing the renovation work across the street, looking very high-spirited, like a general riding a horse and commanding his soldiers to clean up the battlefield after winning a battle.

The more high-spirited Zhu Ping'an was, the angrier Princess Ning'an became. She was extremely angry.

I can no longer tolerate this.

In Princess Ning'an's opinion, Zhu Ping'an's high-spiritedness was completely pretended, and he was doing this deliberately to provoke her.

Why?!

It can be seen from the location of his shop that this exhibitionist, this arrogant bastard, deliberately chose to locate his shop opposite his pastry shop.

He did it on purpose.

He was just taking revenge on me for not renting a shop to him last time, so he deliberately chose the shop opposite my shop to mock me!

I chose a shop across from my own pastry shop. What’s the big deal about the decoration? Who are you trying to show off your high-spirited attitude to? !

It’s just for yourself to see!

Zhu Ping'an's high-spirited look seemed as if he was mocking himself: Haha, thank you for not renting the shop to me. Thanks to you, I rented a better and bigger shop. You didn't expect it, right? Haha, thank you.

This bastard!

The more she looked at it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Princess Ning'an almost couldn't help but throw what she was holding to the ground. At this moment, Princess Ning'an really wanted someone to burn down Zhu Ping'an's shop and break his legs to vent her anger.

The two palace maids who were soliciting business in the shop felt that the temperature in the shop seemed to drop by more than ten degrees at once. They felt a chill on their backs and turned their heads in surprise. As a result, they saw Princess Ning'an's face that was twisted with anger. The two little palace maids were so scared that their calves cramped. When they noticed that the focus of Princess Ning'an's anger was Zhu Ping'an opposite, the two little palace maids took a breath as if they had escaped death, and then worked even harder to solicit business, for fear that if the city gate caught fire, they would be caught in the crossfire.

Princess Ning'an was so angry that she didn't notice the little actions of the two little palace maids. Otherwise, with Princess Ning'an's temper, she would have made the two little palace maids get what they wanted.

As Princess Ning'an was getting angry, a light bulb went off in her head and a piece of information suddenly came to her mind.

Huh?!

Princess Ning'an seemed to be enlightened. After she let out a cry, her face, which was about to explode with anger, suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and then slowly spread out, rippling across her entire face. Her smiles became more and more, and she felt the satisfaction of having her revenge, and the happiness of gloating over someone else's misfortune.

giggle.

Zhu Ping'an, ah Zhu Ping'an, the more proud you are now, the more miserable you will cry in the future.

snort.

I let you rent a shop opposite my shop to mock me!

hehe.

You didn't expect that the Feng Shui of the store you rented is bad, and it's not just bad, it's extremely bad. Anyone who does business in this store will lose a lot of money. Three stores have closed down in two years. Oh, no, including yours, four stores will close down soon.

Be as proud as you can, you will cry someday in the future.

Princess Ning'an seemed to see Zhu Ping'an working hard with his wife's money to open a store, and then borrowing a lot of money to renovate it. As a result, there was no business on the first day of opening. After that, the store was deserted every day. He lost all his money and was left with nothing.

Bah bah bah

Why did I think of the naked butt of this exhibitionist and big bastard again? Pah, pah, pah, what am I thinking about... Princess Ning'an shook her head violently, as if to get rid of some disgusting scene from her mind. However, it was of no use. The scene seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, and Princess Ning'an became even more crazy.

The princess is not crazy...

Princess Ning'an's sudden action made the two little palace maids in the shop even more nervous and cautious.

Zhu Pingan, who was across the street, was watching the tables and chairs made by the carpenter and nodded with satisfaction. It must be said that the carpenters of this era have excellent craftsmanship. I just recalled the simple four-person table and chair combination in modern KFC and other fast food restaurants, and simply drew a few pictures with a brush. The carpenter copied it in such a short time, almost exactly the same as I imagined.

"Young master is very talented. This set of tables and chairs made according to your design is not only elegant and durable, but also saves more than 30% of materials compared to ordinary tables and chairs. Two sets of ordinary tables and chairs can make three sets of this set of tables and chairs. At first glance, this set of tables and chairs is very simple, but the more you look at it, the more attractive it becomes." The carpenter, with an ink stick on his ear, praised the set of tables and chairs designed by Zhu Ping'an.

"The craftsmanship of the master is really good. The result is even better than I imagined." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.

"Haha, when it comes to craftsmanship, I, Old Zhang, am not bragging. My carpentry skills are among the best in Beijing. Back then..." When the carpenter heard Zhu Ping'an's compliments, he rubbed his hands with joy, as if he had met a close friend.

here we go again... ...

The two apprentices of Master Zhang couldn't help blushing when they heard the master talking about the past. Their master's craftsmanship was not ranked among the best in Beijing. His boasting was indeed a bad habit. Of course, it's not that the master was not good, just that he was not good enough to be ranked among the best. However, every time they heard the master bragging that his craftsmanship was ranked among the best in Beijing, they couldn't help blushing.

If his craftsmanship was really among the best in the capital, he would not have made tables and chairs for small households and shops. He would have either made furniture for the emperor in the palace or for princes and nobles.

Zhu Pingan patiently listened to the carpenter bragging about his great achievements, nodded with a smile, and then asked softly: "With the master's craftsmanship, how long will it take to complete thirty sets of tables and chairs like this?"

"It would take others four or five days to finish it, but if it's left to me, Master Zhang, thirty sets of tables and chairs can be finished in two days. I guarantee that every set of tables and chairs will be better than this one." Master Zhang patted his chest and made the promise.

Well... ...

Hearing this, Master Zhang's two apprentices smiled helplessly. It seemed that they would be busy in the evening.

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble Master Zhang and the other two. In addition to your wages, I will give you a big red envelope." Zhu Ping'an smiled and bowed.

The two apprentices, who had originally looked helpless, became excited when they heard Zhu Ping'an say that he would give them a big red envelope.
