Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 121 Negotiation
"Hey, Brother Ning, why are you being polite." Zhang Hongwen was bewildered by her actions.

He stretched out his hand to help her, but Du Jinning avoided it and said, "I'm saluting Uncle Zhang, what are you doing?"

Zhang Hongwen had no choice but to ask, "Then what do you think?"

"Naturally, it's the relationship between Uncle Collar and you." Du Jinning would not be so ignorant, "Go back and tell your father, Jin Ning will keep this kind of relationship in his heart, and he will definitely repay it if he has a chance."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Zhang Hongwen waved his hands and said happily, "Just promise."

At this time, Xiaowu, a servant of the Qi family, led the storyteller Qian Dongbao in.Seeing that several clubs were present, Qian Dongbao hurriedly saluted.

Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan had already seen the back of the script, the most important part, how could they bother to talk to Qian Dongbao?He waved his hand casually and let it go.

"Grandpa Qian, please sit down and let them read the script." Du Jinning greeted.

"Hey, I'm a lowly guy, how can I bear the title of young master? Young Master Du can just call you old money." Qian Dongbao nodded and bowed with a smile. Edge sat down.

A storybook has three to four thousand words, and it takes half a day for Du Jinning to write, but Guan Jiaze can finish it without a cup of tea.At this time, he raised his head and opened his mouth to urge more: "Is there still more? Why did you write it at this tense moment? Come on, tell us, what's going on next? Your next volume, When can I write it out?"

Qi Muyuan also opened his clear eyes, looking at Du Jinning expectantly.

Du Jinning rolled his eyes, took out the letter of commitment that Guan Jiaze had written to her just now from his bosom, and read: "If there is any act of urging change, I will be punished voluntarily and never read the scriptures written by Du Jinning." She actually wrote two volumes of scriptures. The book, but once it is taken out, the two story book fans in front of them will definitely read the story book before discussing matters.But if you look any further, it's going to be dark.

"Uh." Guan Jiaze choked, with a constipated expression on his face.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's getting late, and Zhang Hongwen has to rush back, let's discuss things first." Du Jinning folded the paper, put it back in his arms, and said to Guan Jiaze, "Give Mr. Qian the book, Let him sit in the next room, and let's settle the matter of the teahouse first."

Guan Jiaze had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the script to Qian Dongbao.

Qian Dongbao thanked him, and followed Xiao Wu to the small room.

Du Jinning waited for everyone to sit down, and then asked: "How did you discuss with your family when you went back to buy shares?"

Guan Jiaze took out a bank note from his pocket and put it on the table: "I only need one share, and this is 40 taels of silver."

Zhang Hongwen also carefully dug out from his pocket, took out a heavy purse, took out a dozen ingots of silver ingots of different sizes, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, then I have the cheek to ask for a share." , this is 40 taels of silver."

Du Jinning hastily took out the 17 taels of silver that he had prepared earlier, picked out seven taels of silver and gave it to him: "This is the money to pay back to your family." Qian Baodong came in to interrupt what he was about to give just now.

Zhang Hongwen fumbled in his purse again, found an IOU, and handed it to Du Jinning: "This is the IOU you wrote back then."

Du Jinning opened it and saw that it was indeed her IOU, which said 17 taels of silver owed.

She tore the IOU in half, threw it into the brazier and burned it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.Except for bank loans, she is not used to owing people money.Now that the debt can be paid off, she feels much more relaxed.

Everyone looked at Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan asked Guan Jiaze suspiciously: "Why only one share?"

"That's what my uncle meant."

Although Guan Jiaze has a carefree temper, he is not really stupid.Guan Lehe naturally analyzed the reason for him, but he couldn't say it so clearly.Otherwise, the Qi family will definitely refuse and refuse to ask for this kind of favor - the Qi family is not short of this little money.

If he confuses the past, the Qi family will not take it seriously.But Mr. Qi must have a reason for this matter. He thinks that they have a proper way of doing things in the Guan family and know the rules, and that's enough.

There are many twists and turns in the relationship between aristocratic families.Under the influence of ears and eyes, educated children of aristocratic families will be better than ordinary people in handling things, and naturally they are more likely to succeed.

Qi Muyuan couldn't ask any more questions.

The shares of this teahouse, how much each person wants, is naturally entirely voluntary.

"Then Qi Muyuan, you want three shares." Du Jinning said, "I don't have the money to buy shares, five shares are enough."

"I want two shares, and you want six shares. You don't have to rush to give me the money, it will be deducted when the teahouse makes money." Qi Muyuan said.

"No, I only want five shares, not that one." Du Jinning naturally knew that Qi Muyuan took care of her, and when she saw him still wanting to say something, she widened her eyes, "That's the deal."

Seeing that she was firm in what she said, Qi Muyuan had no choice but to give up and nodded in agreement: "That's fine."

After the agreement was made, Yuan An drafted the document and copied four copies. The four people signed and stamped on it, and pressed their fingerprints, each holding a copy.

Guan Jiaze took the document, looked at it, and asked Du Jinning, "Shall we go to the yamen to sign a red deed?"

"No need?" Du Jinning looked at Qi Muyuan.

Ancient contracts are divided into red deeds and white deeds. The red deeds are registered in the yamen, and a tax is paid, which has legal effect; It is only used as a moral constraint and has no legal effect.Generally, red deeds will be signed for house and land sales, but for other transactions, in order to save money and trouble, everyone will sign white deeds.

Of the four, the one with the most legal awareness is naturally the modern Du Jinning.But a small teahouse was not taken seriously by Du Jinning, who had seen the world in his previous life and had a lot of money.

Moreover, she has no face to make such a suggestion.

Four people partnered, and they also contributed money and effort, but she took the big head.But at the end of the day, she still dragged others to sign the red contract, as if she was afraid that others would take advantage of her, she couldn't do such a petty thing.

"No need." Qi Muyuan said, "What a big deal."

Hearing this, Du Jinning burst out laughing.

Indeed, she didn't take this teahouse seriously, but with the backgrounds of Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan, why did she take the teahouse seriously?The only one who takes it seriously is probably Zhang Hongwen.It is estimated that half of the Zhang family's savings are on this.

"Brother Zhang, do you think you want to sign the red deed?" She turned her head and asked Zhang Hongwen.

Zhang Hongwen was a little confused, he didn't understand red deed and white deed.

Seeing him like that, Guan Jiaze patiently told him the difference between the two.

Zhang Hongwen quickly shook his head: "You decide, I don't care."

He was originally taken care of and participated in, and the shares were the fewest. Even though he valued this property very much, he was embarrassed to clamor to sign the red contract.

In this case, Guan Jiaze made a decision directly: "Then there is no agreement."

"There are two more things, one is the person who manages the teahouse." Du Jinning pointed to Yuan An, "Yuan Butler just said that starting today, we will be in charge of the teahouse, and they won't take care of it anymore, so Let's discuss the candidate for the teahouse."

It was not surprising to Guan Jiaze to hear this.For a wealthy family like theirs, this is not a big deal, just find someone who is capable at home to take care of it.Just such a teahouse does not require any great talents.

He asked Qi Muyuan: "Is there someone suitable to take care of your family?"

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "When I came back with my grandfather, I didn't bring many servants with me. It's really not suitable."

Guan Jiaze waved his hand, and was about to say that he was here to choose a servant, but remembering his uncle's reminder last night, he stopped in time.

Turning his head to look at Du Jinning and Zhang Hongwen, he asked, "What about you?"

Zhang Hongwen shook his head quickly: "I don't." Even if he has an older brother, it's not suitable.Not to mention that it is not his turn to make decisions in the teahouse, but to say that between the married brother and him, there is a sister-in-law who likes to make small calculations, so it is not easy to mix together to do this kind of money-making business.

Guan Jiaze looked at Du Jinning: "How about you, Du Jinning?"

Du Jinning smiled and spread his hands: "Do you think there is a suitable candidate for our family?"

Although Mrs. Chen and her sisters are resting at home and planting in the fields, it is better to manage the teahouse.But this is ancient times, not modern times.All the people coming and going in and out of the teahouse were men, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it was not a simple question of whether a woman wanted to show her face or not.If Mrs. Chen came to take care of the teahouse, her sisters would not have to remarry, and they would have to be pointed out in Zhuangzi.
