Zhao Xuewen's words made Ms. Liu even more proud, and she glanced at Zhao Qikun, whose face was ashen.
"Then have a good talk with your father," said Liu. "If he refuses to listen, I will ask the clan leader to come and make the decision."
Zhao Xuewen quickly agreed and knelt down to respectfully send Liu off. The man looked at Liu's gentle steps and followed him hastily. When he reached the door, he didn't forget to turn around and gave Zhao Qikun a fierce look.
Zhao Qikun watched all this with his eyes wide open. He clutched Zhao Xuewen tightly, wishing to grab a piece of flesh from Zhao Xuewen's body.
"Dad, dad..."
After the Liu family had gone far away, Zhao Xuewen looked at his father and said, "You have to hold it back, hold it back, have you forgotten what you encountered the first time you went to Liu's house?"
How could Zhao Qikun think of anything else? He wanted to kill this unscrupulous man and kill two adulterers and adulterers.
Zhao Xuewen said: "I saw two people being tied up and carried out. Those two people are still members of the Liu family's branch. Dad... If you cause this matter to the Liu family, this will be the result for us."
Zhao Qikun still looked angrily at the direction Liu left.
"father……"
Zhao Xuewen shouted again, but Zhao Qikun was completely unaware. Zhao Xuewen had to break free from Zhao Qikun's hands, found a pot of cold tea, and poured it on Zhao Qikun.
Zhao Qikun was so frightened that he looked at Zhao Xuewen blankly with tea leaves on his face.
"Dad, please calm down," Zhao Xuewen said. "When you first married Mrs. Liu, you should have figured out why she wanted to be your step-brother for what purpose? Isn't it just... not to be wronged? You still have to think about it.
Do you expect her to serve us like my mother?"
Zhao Qikun's eyes rolled up, and Zhao Xuewen hurriedly stepped forward to pinch Renzhong.
"Dad, be patient for a while, be patient for a while, and you will definitely pass the exam this year. If you pass the exam, you will have an official status and everything."
Zhao Qikun listened to his son shouting over and over again in his ears, and his soul that was about to scatter finally reunited.
Regret, Zhao Qikun's heart flashed with such emotion. He really shouldn't have accepted the Liu family. If he hadn't taken a liking to the Liu family, which was relatively well-off, he would never have suffered such grievances.
Seeing that his father still couldn't come to his senses, Zhao Xuewen continued: "If there is a war in Taozhou, my mother and three younger brothers may become refugees."
Zhao Qikun suddenly became excited, his whole body trembled, and half of the anger that surged up in his head was instantly dissipated. Are Yang and the others going to become refugees? Will they come to look for them?
Zhao Xuewen rolled his eyes: "With the Liu family here, they don't dare to come to the door. Do you think that's right?"
Zhao Qikun's limp body straightened up a little.
"So, a little impatience can ruin a big plan," Zhao Xuewen said, "At least the Liu family is our support. Not only can you not make trouble with your mother, you also have to coax her."
Zhao Qikun frowned: "They..."
"Just pretend you didn't see it," Zhao Xuewen said with a smile, "I think that's my mother's nephew. It's fine if you think about it the same way."
The most important thing is to get better in the future.
Zhao Xuewen really didn't want to lose his bright future because of his father's face.
"Think more about the second brother and the third brother who have failed in many tests, and the fourth brother who may not even be able to read, and then there is the debt collector."
The debtor Zhao Xuewen was talking about was Zhao Luoyang. Mrs. Yang spent an unknown amount of money on this girl. She also found a companion for the girl in the village, who seemed to be mute, but in the end she let her family find her.
After leaving, Zhao Qikun went to the family and asked for fifty taels of silver as compensation. Old lady Yang and the others didn't know this.
Really ask them to come here...
Zhao Qikun didn't dare to think about it. By then, let alone the imperial examination, he wouldn't even have a place to stay.
"Help me go to the study." Zhao Qikun stretched out his hand. He had to endure this tone now. When he won the imperial examination, the first thing he did was to divorce the Liu family and marry someone else. If the Liu family was willing to compensate, he would not do anything.
Without mercy, he asked the Liu family to marry the patriarch's granddaughter to him.
Zhao Xuewen was thinking that if it really happened again, Zhao Xueyi's son might not be able to survive it.
Zhao Xuewen said: "In the evening, I will buy some buttermilk and bring it back for you to try. I heard that the wine is made by people from the north. After drinking it, you will find that the wine we usually drink is very bland."
Zhao Xuewen has long wanted to try it.
…
In Chenliu City, Zhang Dan had people unload the buttermilk and counted the payment. Then he straightened up and looked around carefully. Chenliu City looked much more prosperous than Taozhou City. The shops on the street were all next to each other.
Holding one, he looked around and saw that there were teahouses and wine shops everywhere. He had just visited a few and all the buttermilk in his hand was sold out.
Zhang Dan licked his lips, and the Zhao family girl told him to go all the way and sell everything, not to sell everything in one place. What they earn now is word-of-mouth, so what does it mean to sell a city? No matter how powerful the spread is, there will only be one.
The shops in the city know about it, so I can send a few more cities to you.
As for why Zhang Dan came to Chenliu... In fact, there were some things he couldn't tell outsiders. When he was following the Zhao family's girl on a caravan tour in Taozhou City, he heard someone gossiping that the old man of the Zhao family looked down on Yang.
The old lady and her sons divorced the old lady Yang and advised the men who joined their caravan not to work with them. At that time, Zhang Dan started fighting with those two people. If he hadn't seen them
As they get older, he must teach them a lesson.
This is not enough, he also wants to sell the goods to Chenliu, so that those who don't have eyes can see how Old Mrs. Yang's family is doing. But unfortunately, they did not bring enough goods on this trip, and they were gone after delivering it to five shops.
.
But he didn't need to be too anxious, take his time, good things were yet to come. They were just exploring the way, and what they really wanted to sell was cotton. When the cotton fell after the autumn harvest, they could start their work.
He didn't know what cotton was, but the Zhao girl said it was a good thing, so he didn't doubt it at all. To be honest, he had never seen anyone as good at business as the Zhao girl until it grew so big.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can support several villages.
Zhang Dan wiped his sweat. He didn't make much money when he went back this time, but he was very satisfied that he could buy some cloth for Erya to make clothes.
"That's what they sell."
"That's them."
Zhang Dan was just thinking when a noisy voice came. He turned his head and saw the tavern owner who had left the buttermilk before, running to him with his people.
"Shopkeeper," Zhang Dan said with a smile, "what do you want to see us for?"
The shopkeeper was panting: "Buttermilk, is there any more buttermilk? I've been looking for you all day, where have you... gone?"
Zhang Dan chuckled. They sold the buttermilk on the first day just to test it out. They sold it one day apart to see the results. According to the girl's wishes, it would be better to wait at least three to five days. The faster the goods are dispersed, the more excited everyone will be.
Like, they have to remember these clearly, so that they can know where the best sales are, and they will go straight there the second time they pull goods.
Zhang Dan still looked good-tempered. He pointed to the car and said apologetically to the shopkeeper: "No more, they were all sold out just now."
