Jinyi champion

Chapter 253
Open for less than two months.

The first month spent a lot, and there was basically no money left, and the second month earned two hundred taels, which was considered pretty good, and he took out [-]% of the profit as a dividend, which really surprised the shopkeeper Ma.

"Little boss, this... is actually unnecessary."

Shopkeeper Ma was amazed at Zhu Hao's business methods before, but he wholeheartedly went back to work under Su Xigui and didn't want to stay in Anlu for long.

Now Zhu Hao took out the silver...

The feeling is obviously different from before.

Zhu Hao said: "This matter has been decided, don't say any more. From now on, my mother and I can't show up too much, and you need to pay more attention to business matters, especially staring at the shopkeepers and guys below... This line of water Too deep, they may not be able to grasp it!"

"well!"

Shopkeeper Ma was excited, and seemed to be completely convinced by Zhu Hao.

……

……

Zhu Hao didn't send the horse shopkeeper out of the gate of the palace, but stopped at the gate of the west courtyard.

After seeing Shopkeeper Ma leave the west gate of the palace, Zhu Hao went back to the dormitory to put down his books, and came to the cafeteria for lunch.

After seeing off people, Lu Song came back into the cafeteria and sat down next to Zhu Hao. The master chef in the kitchen immediately came to serve the dishes.

Lu Song, as a king of the palace, usually does not eat small stoves, but eats big pot dishes with the big guys, but the treatment is different from ordinary people, and he will give him a priority to reserve any good dishes.

Jing Hong looked at the chicken drumsticks and meat with preserved vegetables in Lu Song's bowl, with a little envy in his eyes, and Lu Song politely pushed the plate containing the food in front of Zhu Hao and Jing Hong.

"You eat."

What Lu Song meant was that he just came in for a sit-down, and I can give it to you.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "What's wrong with Lu Dianzhan?"

Lu Song said: "Zhu Hao, it seems that you are making a lot of money running the business of the mansion. You can make two hundred taels of profit in a month?"

"Lu Dianzhan, you are responsible for your own profits and losses in business. A few years ago, there were many local merchants who purchased goods, so they would naturally make more money. In the next year, until the spring famine, most people in the city save on food and clothing, so I don't have much money... Lu Dianzhan wouldn't think that Among them is the money I earned from the palace, right?"

Zhu Hao explained seriously, not wanting to misunderstand Lu Song.

Naturally, Lu Song would not think wildly. Although he was not very clear about the details of the business between Wang Fu and Zhu Hao, he also knew that Wang Fu had taken advantage of it.

Lu Song sighed: "I think, since you can make money, you should spend more on improving your family, instead of... why do you give so much money to your shopkeeper?"

"To buy people's hearts."

Zhu Hao's answer was straightforward.

So much so that Lu Song felt that Zhu Hao might have some ulterior purpose to tell him so frankly.

Zhu Haodao: "My mother is a chaste woman bestowed by the imperial court, so it is inconvenient to come forward. I am studying in the palace, and I will take the imperial examination next year, and I have no time to take care of the business. Work hard. How about Lu Dianzhan joining in and I'll give you a share?"

Lu Song shook his head, he didn't know what to say now.

I thought to myself, should I say this kid is generous to others, or should I say you are short-hearted?How can you still be complacent about distributing so much money all at once?

"It's not necessary for Lu Dianzhang to do business with me in person or as a shareholder. There are many ways to cooperate..." Zhu Hao suggested with a smile.

Lu Song quickly waved his hand: "Needless to say, I have no intention of doing business. Zhu Hao, you are talented and knowledgeable, you should make a difference in the imperial examination, and don't use your mind on sideways. My advice is harsh, and I will leave."

After Lu Song left, Jing Hong asked puzzledly, "What did Lu Dianzhan say just now?"

Zhu Hao said: "There's something good to eat, don't hurry up, do you still have the mind to inquire about other situations?"

Jinghong didn't move his chopsticks, and there was a trace of sadness on his face: "That's right, I heard from my father that the Ministry of Officials has appointed a new magistrate of Changshou, and he will have to leave Anlu at the beginning of next year, and this time he will go home... It is not certain whether he will be able to return to the palace after the next year."

"Oh?"

Zhu Hao looked at Jinghong in surprise.

Didn't Tang Yin say that the magistrate of Jing County will not leave until the second half of next year?Why is it early?On the contrary, Zhizhou stayed in office!

In this way, what about the county test next year?
Completely disrupted the rhythm of exam preparation!
Seeing Jinghong's head down, Zhu Hao generally felt that his little friend had encountered a major setback in his life, and felt hesitant and helpless about his future. To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to leave Xingwang's mansion.

With the guidance of a famous teacher like Tang Yin, who can still grow up with the prince, and a good friend like Zhu Hao, if he returns to his hometown... it will be like suddenly returning to the deep mountains and old forests from the busy city.

Jinghong sighed, and said quietly: "I will ask my father to let him agree to my stay in the palace, but this matter... It's hard to say, the palace may have arranged for me to stay or go."

Zhu Hao smiled.

At the end of the new year, it seems that the companions of the palace have to worry about whether they can stay in the coming year.

The two left the palace together last year and were not called back until February this year.

This time, it was Jinghong who felt that he would not be in the palace for a long time, and today might be his last day in the palace, which made him very frustrated, who has always been competitive.

"Fight for it, I'll help you too... If you stay in Anlu and have no place to go, I can provide you with a place to live, but you don't want to live in my house, it's inconvenient, I have several places in the city, You can choose whatever you want..."

With Zhu Hao's current financial resources, it is not difficult to arrange everything for Jinghong.

Jing Hong's expression became lighter when he heard the words. If he really stayed in Anlu and didn't follow his father back to his hometown, how to settle down would be the biggest problem.

"Are these the three caves of the cunning rabbit as the saying goes?"

Jinghong was actually in the mood to make a joke at this time.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Isn't it? There are more than three caves in mine, you can live in any one you want."

Jinghong shook his head: "If I stay in Anlu, I usually only live in the palace, and I don't need to spend the night when I go out once in a while. I can stay in the palace and watch over the people I know to study... that would be great."

……

……

Afternoon self-study class.

Nothing happened until the end of school, when Zhu Hao said goodbye to Zhu San, Zhu Si and others, agreed to meet again in the coming year, and then went home.

Zhu Si wanted to pester Zhu Hao and ask Zhu Hao to give him some good things to play with during the New Year, but Zhu Hao declined.

Zhu Hao went back to the dormitory to pack up his things and was about to leave when Lu Song came again: "Yuan Changshi is waiting to see you outside."

Zhu Hao had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and walked to the gate of the west courtyard with Lu Song, and saw Yuan Zonggao talking to his grandson Yuan Rulin.

"Grandfather, Zhu Hao is here, grandson waits at the door first."

Yuan Rulin went towards the gate.

Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, his eyes were filled with the wisdom of an old fox's insight into human nature, but Zhu Hao would not give him a chance.

"Zhu Hao, I came to you this time to tell you something... The time for the county examination for the coming year has been set, and it will be on the ninth day of February, so there is only a month left, and the county magistrate is about to step down. In the coming year, both the county and prefectural exams will be presided over by the magistrate, and the prefectural exam will be on February [-]th..."

Zhu Hao nodded: "In such a hurry?"

Yuan Zonggao said: "Candidates from Anlu Prefecture gather in Changshou County. If the government examination time is postponed to April, the candidates will only be tossed back and forth. Now the war in the north has not stopped, and there are bandits and water bandits everywhere in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. It is not safe, so it is also for the sake of candidates.

"If there are no accidents, it is not difficult to pass the county and government examinations with your talents. After the next year, you and the old man will go to see Confucianism in Benzhou... In addition, do you have any problems with bond and mutual bonds?"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, Yuan Zonggao is so caring?

The county examination is already a formal imperial examination. Mutual knot means that five candidates who take the same exam will guarantee each other, and one person cheats and five people will sit in a row. And the bond is that the officials, gentry, and families issue guarantees...

Although it is just a formality, it is really impossible to participate in the imperial examination without it.

Based on Zhu Hao's relationship with the family, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the Zhu family to provide recognizance and find someone to make friends with each other. The palace is afraid that the Zhu family will cause trouble for Zhu Hao's imperial examination, and does not allow local officials and candidates to have any relationship with Zhu Hao. In the end, Zhu Hao was unable to complete his preparations for the exam.

Zhu Hao lowered his head and said, "I haven't told my family about this yet..."

Yuan Zonggao nodded with a smile: "Then I will arrange it for you, do you have any objections?"

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded heavily.

"Furthermore, the palace gives some holiday gifts to the people in the palace every year. You haven't received it yet, have you? Someone will send it to you tomorrow..."

Yuan Zonggao actually took the initiative to care about the fact that the palace gave Zhu Hao this companion to read the etiquette?

It’s tricky!
Zhu Haodao: "Yuan Changshi, actually there is no need for it. It would be great if I can stay in the palace to study. Now at home...life has greatly improved."

To give Yuan Zonggao a head start, let this old fox who likes to beat around the bush get to the point earlier.

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "I heard that Lingtang recently took over the collapsed house business and provided a lot of goods to the palace, right? Among them..."

Zhu Hao waved his hand hastily: "Mr. Yuan, in fact, all of this was arranged by Dongzhu Su, who is doing business with us. My mother and I just made arrangements in between. The details...we are not very clear."

May I not know what kind of plan you Yuan Zonggao is playing?
Even if you, Yuan Zonggao, no longer target Zhang Zuo, you are still here to inquire about the purchase and sale of materials by the palace. Now that the accounts are not in your hands, what are the expenses and how are the purchases going? You don't know the details and you want to find a breakthrough from me?

Then I'll tell you directly, we're just pushing to the front desk as a cover, the real trader is Su Xigui, if you're looking for trouble, just go to him, don't look for us orphans and widows.

The smile on Yuan Zonggao's face was suppressed, and he said in a serious tone: "Master Ma, who came to the palace earlier, is yours?"

"In name..."

Zhu Hao could not help but glance at Lu Song.

This guy won't turn his face away and tell Yuan Zonggao that he gave Ma Yan a bonus of forty taels of silver, right?

Yuan Zonggao saw that I gave such a large sum of money to shopkeeper Ma, and realized that Su Xigui was actually a cover, and the real person in charge was me. By the way, he could find a breakthrough from me, and then come to look for it right away?
Yuan Zonggao said: "If you have time, please help introduce Ma Dangjia. It is not convenient for the old man to ask you about some things, or you can ask him. The palace will purchase a lot of things in the coming year. Let me be clear, and it is also for the sake of not making any mistakes in the accounts."

Old fox, old fox, do you think I don't know that you don't have the right to take over the management of the treasury now?
No matter how much the palace purchases, does it have anything to do with you, Yuan Zonggao?

Looking for this reason...

Tsk tsk, is it too far-fetched?
