Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 115

The revelation of hiring a storyteller in the tavern really blocked [-]% of the interested people. Fortunately, there are still about ten qualified candidates every day.After three rounds of school examinations, two finally stood out.Although the expected number of people was not reached, the ability of the two people who passed the level exceeded their expectations.

"...The rewards from guests cannot be accepted. If they insist on giving them, they must be included in the account. When the monthly silver is distributed, it will be shared equally among everyone.

When telling a story, you can’t mix your own preferences and biases, and it’s best not to express your opinion when asked by the guests afterwards, and let the guests understand the story by themselves. "

"If the two of you want to take the provincial examination and become an official career in the future, and you don't want to work here, you must report two months in advance according to the regulations of the contract. We should be prepared. If you don't come according to the regulations, you will have to leave when the time comes. , bring losses to the owner, we may sue the government. This is not good for your future."

"If you have family members in the capital, and it is not convenient to live in the compound with us, you can receive an additional subsidy of ten taels of silver per month... If you have no objection, you can sign the contract today." Sun Zhou led them to familiarize themselves with the new location of the tavern , while talking about the rules.

In fact, the two had read the contract in detail not long ago. It was strict and formal, but the corresponding benefits were also very considerable.The two of them were mediocre in their studies, and their family circumstances were not good, so they did not intend to continue to take the entrance exam. You must know that it is not easy for an ordinary family to provide a scholar in this day and age. That hurdle.

What the two of them have in common is that they saw the reality clearly early on and knew their own level, so they didn't hesitate much after reading the terms of the contract.But Gao Sheng told them not to rush to make a decision, and told Sun Zhou to take them for a walk around the new site first, to get to know the tavern, which is where they will work every day in the future.

After the two walked around, they couldn't wait to sign the contract. Because they had the status of scholars, they had to be present in person when they went to the government to do the registration and cover the red stamp, so Sun Zhou took them to the Jingding Yamen.

Cheng Fu has always been cautious, and her cautiousness has also affected the people in the tavern and Lianghexuan. Anything related to writing will be reviewed by a special clerical department, and contracts such as contracts must be backed up by the yamen.Sometimes people in the yamen are annoyed by their enthusiasm, but whoever makes people pay taxes is also very active, everyone can only endure it.

At this time, Cheng Fu took people to look at the mansions in several large areas of the capital where the wealthy lived. The Yaren Gao Sheng found had quite a few good plots of land. In just one morning, she had her eyes on four large courtyards.

"Is there anyone near the Xu residence?"

The Yaren didn't remember which Xu's house it was, "Is it the Xu family of the six supervisors?"

"Exactly."

"Yes, there are, most of which are three-entry, and rarely five-entry. But you can pay 1000 taels first, and I will let you know if you have any." The toothman did not beat around the bush.

Jiujiu on the side didn't hold back, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't have anything, you have to collect the money first, where is the rule?" There are many good people in the capital and there are more bad people. Liars can match one by one. She is really afraid of her own lady. suffer.Besides, they will be returning to Jinling in a few days, who knows if this guy is honest or not.

Yaren is an old man, and he speaks in a tone that sounds like a native of the capital, with a bit of a street style.Jiujiu's doubts did not annoy him, and he still said to Cheng Fu with a pleasant face: "Miss, we are in this business because people are in a hurry, and there is no need to wait to buy the house you want. As long as you can afford it, there will naturally be those who live in it People who are well-behaved are willing to give it up. Your 1000 taels are just a villain’s saliva money, and you won’t spend it in vain.”

Hearing this, Cheng Fu raised his eyebrows and touched his chin habitually, not knowing what he was thinking.That tooth man was pretty shy at first, but when he saw the little girl's expression, he lacked confidence, as if a fake monk met a real Buddha.

"Two thousand for tea, find me two houses, preferably side by side." Wen Xiang, who was in charge of the accounts, said.

Wen Xiang took out two 1000 taels of banknotes from his narrow cuff and handed them to the man. The old man accepted the banknotes without hesitation, and repeatedly promised that the matter would be done for her, and the money would never be wasted.

On the way back to the inn, Cheng Fu was thinking that he really didn't know enough about the prices in the capital. When he bought the tavern, it cost less than 1000 taels. The location is still very good now.Unexpectedly, instead of buying a house, 1000 taels can only be counted as saliva money.

But after thinking about it, I can understand that the Xu mansion area is mostly official residences. Needless to say, Feng Shui, whoever lives here is a symbol of status and class. Even if there is no official position in the family, they can still show off outside.

She wanted to buy a house near Xu's mansion, but she didn't care about that. If she could, she would even prefer to live in the city. She bought a house near Xu's mansion just for convenience.

Gao Sheng followed them to the inn, saying that the two storytellers had signed a contract and had already started to endorse the manuscript.There are still six days left before the opening of the new location, and Gao Sheng does not intend to let them rush to the old building to talk about it. Anyway, the promotion of the new story has already started, and the appetite of the guests has been whetted. I believe that a few days of absence will not have any effect.Moreover, the original storyteller passed away, and the guests can understand that the tavern needs time to adjust.

"There is an incident. The Chen family betrothed Tweeter to a crippled son who was in charge. I don't know what happened. Tweety ran away last night. I sent people out to search for it all night. There is no news. Now the Chen family I mean, if Cui’er can’t be found, let Xi’er become the cripple’s daughter-in-law.” Gao Sheng sighed, in those homes where bells and lanterns are ringing, there is no difference between servants and objects, especially servants who are not valued.

Unexpectedly, Tweety has had such a hard time in the past two years, Cheng Fu's suppressed irritability reappeared.In fact, there is no barrier between the Chen family and her, just unfamiliarity, but Cui'er and Xi'er both grew up with their brother and sister, and their friendship is different from others. She originally planned to return to Beijing in two years to find a way to get them It was justifiable to get it to my side, but now I have to advance the plan.

"Take Xi'er out as soon as possible and send her to Jinling. Someone will give her a new identity there. Remember to tell her to learn some Jiangnan dialect. Cui'er will continue to search, and if she finds one, send it to Jinling."

Gao Sheng guessed that she would make this decision, so he ordered someone to do it before he came, "Don't worry, they will escape this disaster."

Recalling that when the little girl was Miss Gu San, it was inconvenient to go out, and most of the contacts between them depended on the maids around her. Xi'er and Cui'er were very nice people, and he didn't want them to suffer.

Cheng Fu restrained her impetuosity, "By the way, has the Weiyuan Hou Mansion paid back the money? Don't let her go to the new hall to make trouble."

It can be said that Gu Changyu has completely bid farewell to the shackles of a concubine after becoming the wife of the son of the world. The change of status has also brought about a huge change in her temperament. Then cynicism, domineering.

She became the kind of person she looked down on the most in the past, and she didn't realize that she was imitating Gu Changxi.

Gao Sheng smiled secretively, "Don't worry, the debt has been sold, people on the road are not as honest as us."

Those people sent a few rogues to block Gu Changyu, deliberately provoking her. The guards of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion attacked and wounded people at her behest, and they easily fell into their trap. .Naturally, Gu Changyu didn't dare to go to the Yamen, so the original 5 taels of debt became 7 taels.

"I've greeted the people on the road. Now there are people guarding outside Weiyuanhou's mansion day and night. If she dares to go out, the people on the road will even take off her clothes to pay off the debt."
