Boss, He’s Becoming a Father - Chapter 168
The fourth gave her a surprised look.
He thought that he would be opposed by the third child again, but he did not expect that this person would become his most beneficial supporter just like he had turned sex.
Other people changed their tempers when they saw the third child, and the first reaction was that it was a fraud, but Shao Yu also stood up to support the fourth child, saying: “Although this is a simple matter, the most difficult thing is at the helm.”
“The eldest and the second child, you two have been listening to the wind and the rain, and you want to slap the wind at the slightest change, urging the fourth child to sell goods. The third child is easily deceived by greed and ignores the interests. Everything is going inward, and none of the three of you are fit to be the helmsman.”
“And what about the fourth, you should see it better than anyone else.”
After listening to Shao Yu’s words, the boss and Xu Ming looked at each other. In the speculation a few years ago, the two of them didn’t seem to be helpful except to cause trouble, and the fourth, even if they said No matter how much he talks, he is still very rational and insists on his own opinion.
Such a person is best suited for this kind of speculation.
Shao Yu also sighed in his heart, according to the temperament of the fourth child, if he was in modern times, he would definitely be the leader in the investment bank, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time.
As the fourth child at the center of the storm, he did not take their doubts as seriously as they thought, but said lightly: “I didn’t say I must help you make money.”
As soon as these words came out, the boss and Xu Ming did not hesitate.
After everyone handed over all the money to the fourth child again, the fourth child began to divide the labor, which is still similar to speculating in futures, and the fourth child did all these things based on him. information obtained on a daily basis.
“Who buys these books these days, they are all sour.” The boss complained.
Although the third child also had doubts in her heart, she did not show it, but stared at the fourth child, trying to understand why he did this.
The fourth did not explain, but said: “I remember there was a Sun Xiucai in the village.”
The boss nodded and said, “That sour scholar is so poor that he can’t even wear trousers, but he still feels that he is superior to others.
The talents of prosperous times are still valuable, but in troubled times, survival is more important than everything else. These ordinary scholars are not engaged in production, and life is not easy.
“I remember he wrote a good handwriting, fast and beautiful.” The fourth said, obviously thinking about something.
The third child was shocked when she heard this. She stayed in the village for so long, but she never noticed this message, and the fourth child did not go out very often, but she knew about Sun Xiucai. matter.
“Do you want him to help copy books?” The third child asked tentatively.
The fourth nodded.
The third child vaguely grasped something, and said: “He lives in poverty now, but he still refuses to work as a coolie to earn money, thinking that it is a loss of identity, and although copying books is also hard, he will maintain He is a scholar, and he will most likely be willing, right?”
The fourth said: “It’s not a big deal if he doesn’t want to. Most of them are readers who are willing to copy books.”
In troubled times, all scholars have a difficult life. The fourth child knows that as long as he provides such an opportunity, most scholars are willing to participate.
Although Sun Xiucai disliked the low price offered by the fourth, but he was so thin that he couldn’t carry things on his shoulders. If he wanted to live, he could only choose to copy books.
Not only Sun Xiucai, but also a lot of down-to-earth scholars are also helping to copy books.
The fourth took part of the money to scavenge the Four Books and Five Classics and related commentary books on the market, and invited a large number of destitute scholars to help copy the books at a low price. Soon, he accumulated a lot of ‘s books.
“He doesn’t know what to think…”
The eldest’s complaint was stopped by the eldest as soon as he said it.
“Since we choose to let him be at the helm, we must trust him unconditionally, eldest sister. In this case, don’t talk about it in the future.” The third said.
Compared with the greedy person before, the third child has become much more stable now. She wants to make more money, and she also wants to make money in an easy way like the fourth child. Therefore, during this time, she has been trying to figure out and study.
“I know he must have his own reasons, but he doesn’t say anything and keeps everything in his heart, it’s just killing me.” The boss said.
The boss who has suffered a loss once, is naturally eager to earn back the money he lost.
The third said: “He is waiting.”
“Wait for what?” The boss was puzzled.
“What he did not wait for years ago, he realizes after waiting for years.” The third said.
After thinking about it for so long, she vaguely understood that the fourth child’s way of earning money was all on the news.
“What year and year?” The boss was still at a loss.
The third child glanced at her and said softly, “He will wait for the emperor to ascend the throne.”
A year ago, the fourth child was waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, but the price of **** and garlic has fluctuated for a long time, and there is still no news from Beijing, but after the beginning of the year, everyone can perceive that the new county magistrate is right The local control is getting stronger day by day, and the Shao family’s shop has been questioned by the yamen in the past few days.
The whole family was prepared to be exploited by the yamen, but the yamen was obviously told by others, so they only questioned, but did not have any intention to ask for anything, even if it was brought to them They didn’t pick up the pastries in their hands.
In such an urgent state, it is obvious that something major is happening.
A month later, the sense of urgency is still there, but it is still the news of the new emperor’s enthronement.
On the contrary, the salary they just received was voted in by the fourth child.
Another month passed, and the salary just received was once again cast by the fourth.
This time, there were some unpleasant words in the fourth ear.
But in the face of such doubts, the fourth child was very straightforward and said, “If you don’t believe me, then take the money back.”
As soon as these words came out, the doubters saw that other people did not mean to stop, so they could only shut up.
Waiting for the third month, one day, the whole county became lively.
The new emperor ascends the throne, and the whole world celebrates.
With the arrival of the throne, there are also a series of measures to reduce or exempt taxes and reduce corvée. Everyone praised that the current emperor is a prosperous emperor.
In addition to such measures to benefit ordinary people, there is another one closely related to scholars, that is, the restoration of imperial examinations.
When countless scholars got the news, they all burst into tears with excitement. Sun Xiucai jumped up with excitement on the spot, and ran to the street shouting “The sky has eyes”.
Students who want to read, naturally need books. At this time, it is too late for the bookstore to reprint.
Even though the third child has received several times the benefits now, the fourth child is still so calm, and she really has a touch of admiration in her heart.
“If the new emperor’s enthronement is pushed back, will you continue to hoard?” The third child asked softly.
The fourth shook his head and said, “The time limit I set for myself is half a year. If it exceeds half a year, it may be that my judgment is wrong, and things have unexpected changes.”
“What are you going to do after earning so much money this time?” asked the third child.
The fourth said: “Open a bookstore.”
The fourth earned a lot of money this time, so much that he could open a shop.
The third child opened his eyes wide after hearing this.
The fourth child did not avoid her, but went directly to Shao Yu.
“I know that you have a recipe for making paper, you can either sell it to me at a high price, or you can rely on this recipe to get a share.” The fourth said straight to the point.
Shao Yu asked, “How do you know that I have a recipe for making paper?”
The fourth elder looked very determined and said, “When you painted the shop, you said a few words.”
Shao Yu recalled carefully, and only remembered what he said at the time. When he lamented the poor quality of the drawing paper, he mentioned a few more words.
I didn’t expect it to be such a casual sigh that the fourth child would remember it to this day.
The third child on the side listened to this, she carefully recalled what happened that day, she still remembered her surprise when she first saw Shao Yu’s paintings, but she didn’t remember anything Shao Yu had said .
The third child is more and more aware of the gap between himself and the fourth child. Obviously they are listening to Shao Yu together, but only the fourth child grasps the details and knows that Shao Yu has this powerful weapon in his hands Paper making recipes, this is like Xu Ming usually learns to cook with Shao Yu, and the fourth child can see Xu Ming’s problems just by listening to it.
A lot of information, and can also use these unexpected information to make money.
“I choose to share.” Shao Yu said.
The fourth nodded and said, “I’m rich now, and I don’t want to work for the shop anymore.”
“You can be your own boss, you really don’t have to work.” Shao Yu nodded and said, “But if you don’t work here, you can’t eat free food, you know?”
“I will pay for my meals on time.” Although the fourth is lazy, he is the one in the family who understands Shao Yu’s thoughts the most.
The father and son handed over things clearly with just a few words. When the fourth child left, the third child was still a little overwhelmed.
“He…why does he do this?” asked the third child.
Shao Yu laughed and said, “If you want to know, ask him.”
“I’m afraid he won’t tell me, after all, we had a lot of unhappiness in the past.” The third child said softly.
Shao Yu said, “Are you afraid that he won’t tell, do you want me to ask him and tell you?”
After the third child’s careful thoughts were pierced, he lowered his head instantly.
Shao Yu said: “You are so clever, but such cleverness is used a lot, but in the eyes of bright-eyed people, it seems a little annoying.”
The third said: “Dad, you hate me too?”
Shao Yu nodded lightly and said, “I really don’t like your scheming appearance, but this is your own choice, and I can only respect it.”
Shao Yu said a few more words in the mentality of nonsense and no money: “Treat people with sincerity, and people will treat you with sincerity. You are not strangers living in a room, but Half siblings.”
The fourth child went out of the house, the boss immediately surrounded him, looked at the fourth child like a living **** of wealth, and asked, “Fourth brother, after we sold these books, we took the money to buy them. what?”
“You can buy whatever you want,” said the fourth.
The boss was stunned when he heard this, and asked, “Are you leaving us alone?”
The fourth heard this and said: “You have to vote for a while, and you have to retire for a while. It’s really not safe enough to be with you.”
The eldest made a lot of money this time. Seeing that the fourth child was unwilling to play with him, he immediately became anxious and said, “Fourth brother, don’t worry, this time even if you take the money to buy **** from me No stopping.”
When the fourth heard this, he was at a loss for words, and said, “If you can’t speak, you should say less.”
The boss said: “I’m not as smart as you, I know how to do things and speak well, but don’t worry, I will never doubt you again in the future, I promise to fight wherever I want.”
Xu Ming also said on the side: “Fourth brother, my eldest sister and I have offended a lot before, please also ask millions of Haihan, don’t care about us anymore.”
After hearing this, the fourth child felt a little more comfortable, but when he thought of the clumsy attributes of these two people, he felt that if he agreed to them easily, he would not be cherished and would continue Repeatedly, he said, “I’ll think about it for a few more days.”
For the two big ones, the fourth child was full of hesitation, but Gu Shanshan and the younger ones agreed very readily.
After all, these few people have always been relatively firm in standing in line, even if it is Xiao Liu who is not firm enough, he is just hesitating in his heart and has no clear behavior.
In the early morning of the next day, before the shop opened, there was a gust of knocking on the door outside.
It was the boss who ran to open the door, muttering, “Knocking on the door so hard, I don’t know how strong it is.”
The people outside the door are a group of familiar faces. It is the group of scholars who have been copying books for the fourth since this time.
Sun Xiucai, headed by him, looked at the boss and asked loudly, “Is Zhao Yong there? I have something to do with him!”
The boss was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he remembered who Zhao Yong was, and hurriedly entered the room and called the fourth child out.
The fourth child came out, Sun Xiucai saw him and rushed up with a punch.
It’s just that the fist didn’t land on the fourth child’s face, it was blocked by the boss.
The eldest is not young, but he is very strong. After stopping the person and pushing hard, Sun Xiucai was pushed back directly.
Fortunately, there were many companions behind him, and they caught him immediately, which saved him from the pain of **** blooming.
When the fourth eldest was still in shock, the eldest scolded loudly: “Just talk, what are you doing! Adults beat children, you are shameless!”
Sun Xiucai, who was beaten up by the “child”, blushed when he heard this.
I heard the voice of the boss, and all the other people who were making pastries came out.
Seven scholars, facing the nine members of the Shao family, suddenly fell behind in numbers.
Sun Xiucai, who had just been pushed, looked back at the people around him, all of them were adults, and then looked at the other side, except for Shao Yu and Gu Shanshan, all of them were children, He suddenly got angry again.
“Zhao Yong, you are young, but you have a lot of crooked thoughts. Let us suffer such a big loss.” Sun Xiucai accused.
The fourth frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, “What did I do?”
“You know what you did!” Sun Xiucai said exasperatedly.
Seeing that it wasn’t enough, Sun Xiucai looked at Shao Yu and said, “Look at your son, he doesn’t learn well at a young age, and he will grow up later. Don’t you want to do all the bad things?”
Sun Xiucai’s self-righteous appearance is almost always tried and tested. The children in the village are often sued by him to their parents.
The fourth brother obviously thought of this, so he couldn’t help but look at Shao Yu, hoping that Shao Yu would act unexpectedly.
Shao Yu was not disappointed, she didn’t mean to beat the child at all, but calmly asked: “What did he do to offend you?”
“He knows what he did, I can’t say it!” Sun Xiucai said.
Shao Yu frowned when he heard this, and said, “Since you can’t say it, don’t say it.”
After he finished speaking, he closed the door, obviously not intending to listen to him continue.
Sun Xiucai was confused by Shao Yu’s unreasonable actions. He thought that Shao Yu, as a parent, would stand firm on his side, but he didn’t expect that the other party didn’t even want to know the truth.
“No, I have to make it clear today!” said Sun Xiucai.
Shao Yu looked at him.
Sun Xiucai took another look at his companions, who gave him encouraging glances.
Sun Xiucai said: “Your son, you acted at a young age, lowered the price, and forced us to copy books for him. Now we are willing to suffer a little loss and return the money to him, we just want to To get our book back.”
When Shao Yu heard this, she understood the intentions of these people.
“You seven adults, are you forced to copy books by a child?” Shao Yu looked at the seven of them up and down as he asked.
Seven people were embarrassed by Shao Yu’s stare, and the thin-skinned people couldn’t help lowering their heads at this time.
As the leader, Sun Xiucai had a thicker skin and said, “If we hadn’t been poor at the time, who would have accepted such a low price, this kid is obviously taking advantage of the fire!”
Shao Yu said: “You said that when you were down, he gave you a job that could earn you money. He was taking advantage of the fire? Why do I look at it? It’s like giving charcoal in the snow.”
Sun Xiucai immediately said: “What kind of help is this, he is clearly going to fall into the trap and bully us scholars, and he will be punished by heaven!”
“Are you not willing to do it?” Shao Yu asked again.
The fourth child was indeed earning the price difference, but at that time, the bookstores in the entire county had no business, and there were no jobs to help copy books in the market.
The price given by the fourth child is indeed very low today, but at that time, it was already a price of conscience.
Sun Xiucai nodded and said, “We don’t want to, so we have to take back the fruits of our labor now.”
Shao Yu said: “If you don’t want to, why don’t you refuse, is it because you have no brain or no mouth?”
Sun Xiucai heard this, his eyes widened with anger, and he said, “How did you talk! How can you scold people? How can a rude person like you understand clearly about the matter of scholars? of.”
Shao Yu nodded and said, “That’s right, you are scholars. How can you be called back when you are a scholar, it should be called perfidy.”
Sun Xiucai was in a hurry and said, “Why do you talk like this! You are still unreasonable, no wonder you can raise such an ignorant son!”
Shao Yu said: “If I raise a son like you, I will really regret it.”
Sun Xiucai was even more angry and said, “You are the son, I am not your son!”
Shao Yu nodded: “Yes, yes, you are not my son, and I don’t want your son.”
Hearing this, Sun Xiucai was not at all happy, he didn’t want to continue entanglement with Shao Yu on this issue, he just said: “If you don’t agree to our request today, then I will Go to the yamen to make trouble.”
Sun Xiucai originally threatened Shao Yu with these words, but he didn’t expect that Shao Yu not only did not have the slightest fear, but instead pulled him to leave.
“Let go of me, let me go, you barbarian!” Sun Xiucai shouted, he didn’t understand why Shao Yu looked so weak, yet so strong.
Shao Yu ignored his shouts and pulled people all the way to the door of the next door.
The old lady Zheng originally looked like a good show, she stretched her neck to watch the liveliness of the Shao family, but she did not expect that the liveliness would come to her in a blink of an eye.
Shao Yu smiled and said to the old lady: “Old lady Zheng family, look at these few scholars, it was obviously when they were down, my family’s four children gave them a way to live, they are good, and they are still alive. If you want to bite back, I will take them to the official now to see what the county official thinks of this group of scholars.”
Sun Xiucai and the others were in a hurry. This matter is really going to be brought to the front of the magistrate. If they are really ungrateful, then they have no future at all.
Sun Xiucai immediately said: “Old lady, you taught us this matter, and you also said that there is a way to help us sell the book at a high price…”
When the old lady heard the words, she immediately spat at Sun Xiucai and said, “What are you messing around with, I don’t know you, don’t talk nonsense!”
After she finished speaking, she closed the door of her house, keeping all disputes out.
Shao Yu shouted to the inside: “Old lady, I will send them to the officials, and I will never ask them to involve you.”
Sun Xiucai changed his aggressive look before and said to Shao Yu: “Shao Yu, we used to be from a village, and we don’t look at the monk’s face to see the Buddha’s face. Today it’s our fault, you Just spare us.”
Sun Xiucai dares to ask for money at this time, just thinking about getting out of himself.
Other scholars also begged at this time. After all, no one was afraid of offending the county magistrate, and they would be stumped by the imperial examination in the future.
Shao Yu said: “It seems that you all know what you are doing, what you are talking about, what you are saying about being a scholar, what you are saying about disgusting the smell of copper, and if you have the opportunity to make money, you dare to move your brains.”
A group of people were blushed by what Shao Yu said, but they couldn’t refute it at all, so they could only keep begging Shao Yu not to send them to the officials.
Shao Yu looked at the fourth child and asked, “How are you going to deal with this?”
