Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 364
The next day, the siblings went to the city together, Zhu Pei went to Xiufang Street, and Zhu Ziyu went to set up a calligraphy and painting stall.

Zhu Ziyu went to the old place, but found that the place had been taken by someone. Zhu Ziyu went to argue that he had paid for this place, two pennies a day.

As a result, the other party fiercely raised a fist the size of a sandbag at him, and Zhu Ziyu gave in decisively.He doesn't know how to fight, no matter if he loses or wins, he will definitely suffer the lottery, which is not worthwhile.

When people are unlucky, drinking water will get stuck between their teeth, so Zhu Ziyu has no choice but to find a place to set up a stall with a bookcase on his back.

I saw a guy from a tea shop across the street come out and put up a red notice, and shouted loudly: "This tea house recruits Mr. Accountant, and the treatment is excellent. If anyone can write and calculate, welcome to come and see."

With a thought, Zhu Ziyu stepped forward to read the notice.

There are actually five taels of silver in a month, five taels, which is equal to 160 yuan a day, and he has twenty yuan a character, which is equivalent to selling eight characters a day, and he doesn't have to show his face and be pointed at by others.

This is great, Zhu Ziyu went into the store to find the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper drank his tea slowly, gave him a slanted look, and said indifferently: "Young Master Zhu came to our small tea house as an accountant, it's a shame."

It's not surprising that the shopkeeper knows his details, he puts calligraphy and paintings around here every day, and every day people come to promote his status as the eldest son of Duke Jin's mansion.

Zhu Ziyu said: "The shopkeeper is joking, Zhu is just a commoner now, just want to make a living, write and do calculations, I am good at it, I will do what you tell me to do."

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look at him more. It's only been a short time since the Zhu family closed down, and the edges and corners of Zhu Ziyu's body have been smoothed out. It's very clear!
"Alright, let's try it for a month first. If you do well, you will stay. If you don't do well, you will be asked to leave."

Zhu Ziyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your success."

"Go and hand it over to the original accountant, and you will take over tomorrow."

Zhu Ziyu said: "Shopkeeper, can I come back in half an hour? I went to the city with my sister. I don't know if I have found an errand. Let me tell her and I will be back right away."

The shopkeeper is easy to discuss: "Then you go!"

Zhu Ziyu left, and happily went to Xiufang Street to find Zhu Pei.

As soon as Zhu Ziyu left, the curtain behind the counter opened, and one person came out.The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up to salute.

"Boss Chu, everything is done."

Chief Manager Chu nodded: "For the time being, don't let him know that this is the property of the Shen family."

He couldn't quite figure out what was going on in Missy's mind. This fellow Zhu Ziyu had once done wrong to Missy, and Missy even helped him, so let him fend for himself.

But the young lady has orders, he has to obey, the old man said that when the young lady gets married, all the tea houses and silk shops in the capital will be given to the young lady as a dowry, and he will also have to obey the orders of the young lady in the future.

The shopkeeper said: "I understand."

Zhu Ziyu went to Xiufang Street, looked for several shops, and finally saw Zhu Pei coming out of an embroidery workshop with red eyes.

Zhu Ziyu walked over, and when Zhu Pei saw him, he pulled him away, as if he was hiding from something.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ziyu asked.

"It's nothing." Zhu Pei didn't want to tell him that just now she met an acquaintance, a young lady who used to fawn on her, and was severely ridiculed.

Thinking of my brother setting up a street stall every day, I am afraid that he will receive sarcastic remarks, ridicule and ridicule even more, and my brother has never complained to his family.

"Brother, why are you here? No more stalls?"

Zhu Ziyu probably guessed what happened, so he wisely didn't ask any further questions, and said, "I don't need to set up a stall to sell calligraphy and paintings in the future, and there happens to be a tea shop nearby to recruit Mr. Accountant, I hired him, and I get five taels of silver a month."

Zhu Pei was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Zhu Ziyu's heart was sour, the girl's reaction was exactly the same as his reaction in front of the shopkeeper just now.

In the past, what was five taels of silver?Even if it falls on the ground, I'm afraid I don't even bother to bend down to pick it up, but now five taels of silver is the guarantee of their family's livelihood, so they don't have to go hungry.

"Of course it's true, so you don't have to look for something to do, just go home quickly."

Zhu Pei said happily: "Actually, I also found some embroidery work, but the wages are too low. However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. If you can make up for it, it is a little bit."

The two brothers and sisters were cheered up, and they didn't have to worry about the next meal, so they were satisfied.

Just when Zhu Ziyu joined the accountant of the tea house.

Lu Zhaonan was called home by the steward of the house, complaining all the way.

"Young master is busy, what's the big deal that can't wait for me to go to the office?"

After receiving the order, the steward didn't dare to show any joy on his face, and said sullenly: "I don't know what's the matter, the prince asked me to invite you."

Lu Zhaonan was depressed, his father, queen, mother and concubine seemed to have forgotten the promise made back then, and he has not gone to the Rongguo mansion to propose marriage until now, but he is always bothered by the chicken feathers and mung beans.

When he returned to the palace, he saw his father, queen, mother and concubine with serious expressions on their faces, and Lu Zhaonan couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

"Father, do you have something important to do to bring your son back?"

King Pingnan sighed heavily: "Nan'er, I have an interview today for my father, and I would like to ask His Majesty to marry you and Miss Yang."

Lu Zhaonan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but seeing his father's serious expression again, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom of his throat.

Needless to say, the emperor definitely didn't agree, otherwise the father wouldn't have such an expression.

"Father, what do you say you are looking for His Majesty? How can Your Majesty care about our affairs now?" Lu Zhaonan said depressedly. His father must not be ashamed to beg Rong Guogong and want to find another way.The problem is that the emperor himself is in a state of desperation, and the candidate for the northern border army has not been decided.

King Pingnan stared: "Can't you just listen to what Father has to say?"

Lu Zhaonan muttered resentfully, is this still worth listening to?Isn't the answer written on your face?
The concubine couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "My lord, stop teasing your son."

King Pingnan: Uh...

Is teasing your son not your hobby?You still need me to cooperate with you, but now you have become a loving mother, but he has become an incomprehensible father.

King Pingnan coughed twice, still with a sullen face, and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty has already approved my father's request, and the decree of granting marriage will come later, so my father asked you to come back quickly to receive the order. "

Lu Zhaonan blinked his eyes, then plucked his ears, did he hear correctly?The emperor granted marriage?

"Father, is the object of the marriage granted by the emperor to the Duke of Rongguo?" Lu Zhaonan was not sure, and cautiously asked for evidence.

King Pingnan rolled his eyes angrily: "Otherwise? Do you want to change?"

"No, no." Happiness came so suddenly, Lu Zhaonan was dizzy and couldn't help it, he rubbed his head and scratched his face, not knowing what to do for a moment.
