Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 35 Shopkeeper
  "Let's see if there is a store that needs a cashier, and the younger one can be a cashier. If there is no store that needs a cashier, the younger one still has enough energy to go to the dock to carry bags and support his family." Shopkeeper Huang said with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Wangshu looked at his thoughts and asked: "Shopkeeper Huang, I have taken over this store and need a shopkeeper to help me run it. Are you willing to stay and work?"

Shopkeeper Huang was stunned, and Zhou Haijia patted him, "The girl is asking you something."

"I am willing, I am willing, thank you girl, thank you girl." Shopkeeper Huang said gratefully.

Zhao Wangshu smiled, "You agreed without even asking about the monthly payment. Aren't you afraid of working in vain?"

"The girl is kind-hearted and will not treat the young one badly." Shopkeeper Huang replied.

"Zhou Hai's monthly payment is three cents of silver. The same goes for you. The girls who work as prostitutes in the shop, would you like to ask them if they would like to stay and work?"

Shopkeeper Huang smiled, "They will definitely be willing to stay and work."

"Let's go to the Yamen to go through the formalities first. We'll talk about anything later." Zhao Wangshu called Zhou Hai and took Shopkeeper Huang to the Yamen together.

Zhao Wangshu gained a lot from his trip. He opened a third store and renamed it Qinghe Clothing Shop.

The shop was closed for half a month for renovation, so Shopkeeper Huang and Zhou Hai were asked to help hire three male and two female waiters.
  After everything was arranged, it was already noon. Zhao Wangshu stayed at the weaving and dyeing workshop for lunch, and then went to Daohua Village to buy pastries before returning to the Zhao family mansion.

Mrs. Zhao asked her kindly, "How about having fun outside, do you want to miss Shu?"

Do you think she came back late? Why beat her?

Zhao Wangshu's eyes flashed slightly, pretending he didn't understand, and said with a smile: "I like to eat pastries from Daohua Village. I went to buy pastries. I didn't go anywhere else."

This is the advantage of being a maid who doesn't have to be arranged by a big house. She can do whatever she says.

"Why don't you ask the county chief to go with you?" Old Mrs. Zhao asked.

"We have made an appointment with the county lord to travel during the Shangsi Festival." Zhao Wangshu replied.

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It will be good for you to have more contact with the county master."

"Yes." Zhao Wangshu lowered his head, hiding the sarcastic look in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Zhao once again asked her to support her sisters.

Although the rules have been changed and there are days off, the girls who come to Zhuangzi would rather stay in the house and be a hostess than go out and make friends with noble ladies.

"They are not as knowledgeable as your family. They grew up in a village and have little knowledge. You help them and teach them how to interact with others."

"Sisters should help each other."

"They are your sisters, relatives with broken bones and connected tendons. You also hope that they will live well, right?"

Mrs. Zhao said a lot, but Zhao Wangshu didn't pay attention to it at all, just like the spring breeze passing through her ears.

After coming out of the upper room, Zhao Wangshu's ears were still buzzing. Mrs. Zhao was really noisy!
  Do people really talk a lot?
  Back in the yard, Zhao Wangshu asked the maid to distribute the pastries he bought to the other girls.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she changed her clothes, Zhao Yuzhen and others came over, and the first thing he asked her was: "Are you really going out?"

Zhao Wangshu was confused by the question and blinked his confused eyes. Then they said, "You are so brave." They made me dumbfounded.

"It's not like you haven't been out before. It's not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den outside, so you don't need to be brave." Zhao Wangshu said with a relaxed smile.

"Sister Shu, where have you been? Next time I have a holiday, I will go out to play too." Zhao Yuying is young and loves to play, but being trapped in the big house makes her bored.

"There are many places to play on the street. If you like to watch sideshows, go to Ding Ding House; if you want to eat cakes, go to Taihe Building. You can also listen to Mr. Storytelling in the shop; the market over at Guijingfang sells Gadgets, exquisite and cheap; Yibo Bookstore has the most complete collection of books, and new books are also the first to be sold in the store." Zhao Wangshu briefly introduced the places suitable for girls.

"With the Feng Jijun here, you don't have to worry about bad guys causing trouble, and you can't go anywhere." Zhao Wangshu said with a cheerful smile.

"But Aunt Wei said that a lady from a famous family should not leave the front door or the second door, and observe etiquette and integrity." Zhao Yuxiu said distressedly.

Zhao Wangshu sneered and said: "The head of Yixing County is also going out. Isn't she a lady from a famous family?" He paused and said, "Don't forget, at this time last year, we were still playing in the fields."

"If we really don't leave the front door and don't step out the second door, where will the teacher come from? Will the world fall?" Zhao Jiahua walked in and asked sarcastically.

Zhao Wangshu chuckled, it was Sister Lin who fell from the world, but none of the gentlemen had the surname Lin.

The next day, Zhao Wangshu received a post from Yao Shanzhi. Yao Shanzhi invited her to go to Qushui Shang on the Si Festival.

The post read: The meandering water flows into the wine cup, drizzle falls in front of the lamp, and the flowers on the eaves are in bloom.

How can you miss such an elegant thing?
  He had obviously made an appointment before, and he even sent the message here. He is really a very particular person.

Zhao Wangshu put the post aside and took out a blank post from the drawer, "Bai Rong, Yanmo, I want to write a reply to the county boss."

The reply reads: Green ponds are full of green ponds, tender willow trees are weeping, and green silk threads are dancing on green silk.

When an elegant person invites you to do elegant things, how can you not keep the appointment?
  He went to his room and handed the reply to the person who came to send it. He did not show it to Mrs. Zhao, which made Mrs. Zhao very dissatisfied. "You are young and have little knowledge. You are also particular about your reply. If you reply wrongly, you will be wrong." It’s a joke.”

"I was worried that the visitor would be unhappy after waiting too long, so I hurriedly sent her a reply. I will remember what the old lady said and I will change it next time." Zhao Wangshu admitted his mistake, but it will happen next time. , she is still like this.

"My boss, please let someone come and make some spring clothes for her. Don't be rude."

"No need, old lady. During the Chinese New Year, my grandmother has already made several sets of spring clothes for me. When I am still tall now, I make too many new clothes and they are too short before I wear them." Zhao Wangshu found a reason to refuse, she didn't want to It takes up too much light in the mansion to avoid confusion in the future.

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhao gave up the idea of ​​making spring clothes for her again.

With Zhao Wangshu taking the lead, everyone went out together on the third rest day.

There are many people talking and different opinions. Some want to go to Washe, some want to go to the market, and some want to go to Daohua Village to listen to books.
  "It's better for everyone to go their own way, otherwise no one will have a good time." Zhao Wangshu didn't have time to quarrel with them. She was also in a hurry to visit her Qinghe Clothing Shop.

"Sister Shu is right, stop arguing, my head is hurting from your noise." Zhao Jiahua said, rubbing his forehead.

"No, the old lady said that we should go together and leave separately. What if something happens?" Zhao Yuzhen disagreed. She is the eldest. She has to take care of her sisters. This is why the engagement is approaching. Mr. Zhao The reason why the wife asked her to go out.

"You have a disciplined army, and it's broad daylight. What do you have to worry about? If you don't have a good word in your mouth, it sounds unlucky." Zhao Jiahua said impatiently.

Zhao Yuzhen was scolded by her and lowered his head, not daring to say anything anymore. He then agreed with Shen Shichu to meet at the tea shop on the street in front and then go back to the mansion together.
