Chapter one hundred and sixty-two good birds choose wood to perch
I have to say that this plum blossom pendant is very eye-catching, and Su Yizhao fell in love with it at first sight.
The jade cicada just now was childish, and this one is rich.
But isn’t his father buying this as a gift for himself? Su Yizhao couldn’t help but look forward to it.
However, she then thought about it, it must be very expensive, and the father might want to give it to someone else, so don’t expect it. It’s already good to buy a pen for yourself.
"This plum blossom pendant is more expensive, one hundred and thirty taels, while this jade cicada only costs thirty taels!"
The shopkeeper is really happy, what a distinguished guest!
Su Yizhao sighed that it was really expensive! He gave it a small change and finally paid a total of six hundred and seventy taels.
"Sir! I got a piece of jacquard silk in the store last time. The color was very elegant..."
Su Yizhao stood up quickly and interrupted the shopkeeper, "Oh! Father, let's not lose time!"
But you can't buy it again, because if you buy it again, you won't have any money.
Su Wenqing also stood up and said to the shopkeeper: "Let's go and come back later!"
Su Wenqing didn't mention the jade pendant to Su Yizhao along the way. Su Yizhao thought it was a meeting gift for some junior.
Just thinking about it, she put the matter behind her.
After all, she does business secretly on her own, and she will have money in the future. She will have all these things. It is better to be realistic on her own, Su Yizhao encouraged herself in her heart.
When Su Yizhao and the others returned to the ship, Mr. Yang and the others had already returned to the cabin. Su Yizhao immediately saw Shopkeeper Zhou on the deck, who was dealing with the government.
After seeing shopkeeper Zhou watching the government officials leave, she had an idea in her mind.
"Father! The cabin is so stuffy, I want to get some air on the deck!" Su Yizhao's face was filled with anticipation.
Su Wenqing nodded and added: "The ship hasn't sailed yet, so I'm afraid there will be some philanderers, so don't delay the trip just to find you."
"Azhong! You and the attendant will guard the young master! I'm tired and have to go back and rest!"
After Su Wenqing finished speaking, without waiting for Su Yizhao's reply, he raised his legs and walked towards the cabin.
Su Yizhao was used to his father's attitude, so naturally he didn't feel sad. Instead, he happily ran to Shopkeeper Zhou.
"Uncle Zhong! You and the waiter have a rest here, and I'll go find Shopkeeper Zhou to find out some interesting things about the ship."
Azhong paused when he heard this. This young master actually has a little secret of his own.
However, he did not dare to disobey his master's orders, so he could only take his attendant and stay not far away from Su Yizhao to watch over him carefully.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, I've seen you frowning these past few days, but you have something on your mind?" Su Yizhao asked immediately when he saw Shopkeeper Zhou who was dazed.
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed when he heard this, "Isn't it because of the murder? My boss happened to be in Macro Mansion, so he personally went to the government to take care of this matter. Not only did we not make any money during this trip, we also lost a lot."
He knew that Su Yizhao was not an ordinary child. In fact, he was depressed and had nowhere to express it, so he did not hide it.
The slightly curved corner of Su Yizhao's mouth almost exposed her beautiful mood at the moment. She suppressed the corner of her mouth and thought in her heart that she was ashamed and ashamed. It was really not about taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
"This is not your fault. Shopkeeper Zhou doesn't need to worry about it!"
Su Yizhao said and handed over the hawthorn and water chestnut cake that he had just received from the supply.
"After eating sweets, you will feel better! Let Shopkeeper Zhou try this!"
Shopkeeper Zhou finally smiled and took it, "Thank you, Mr. Su!"
"Then did your boss scold you?" How could Su Yizhao let go of this opportunity? So he brought up the topic again.
Mentioning this, the smile on Shopkeeper Zhou's face disappeared again.
"This is a dereliction of duty on my part, and it is normal for my boss to be angry."
He shook his head with a wry smile, and then laughed at himself: "I am getting old after all, and my brain is really not as flexible as young people."
He looked at the river blankly, "Maybe it's really time to live out your old age!"
"Does your employer not want you?" Su Yizhao asked directly.
Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "That's not really the case. I just feel that I'm getting older and I'm really not suitable to follow the boat anymore."
"Shopkeeper Zhou is far away from his old age! Your boss doesn't want you, I want you!" Su Yizhao quickly expressed his position.
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Zhou burst out laughing, "If I have no place to go in the future, I will go to your house to find you! Don't default on your debt then."
Shopkeeper Zhou found the little boy interesting and probably came to comfort him because he was depressed.
"What am I relying on? I'm serious! Come and do something for me?"
Su Yizhao knew that Shopkeeper Zhou thought she was joking, so he said seriously.
Shopkeeper Zhou then put away his smile, and his heart moved. Could it be that Fourth Master Su asked Mr. Su to test him?
"Is Shopkeeper Zhou willing to stay in the Wen family and live such a miserable life? Not recognizing your talents and not being able to use them is the most frustrating thing in your heart, right? Good birds choose trees to roost, so why stick to the rules? It's time to break the deadlock.
The past has finally passed."
As Su Yizhao spoke, he took out a note from his purse and handed it to shopkeeper Zhou, "After you think about it, come to the house with the pomegranate tree in the yard in Dongma Lane, Beijing, to find me."
Shopkeeper Zhou took the note blankly, feeling shocked.
Until Su Yizhao left, he still couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Su Yizhao spoke from his heart, but the relationship between the Zhou family and the Wen family was not as simple as employment.
When his grandfather was still alive, he always reminded him to do things for his employer and repay his kindness. How could he dare to forget?
But when he thought about how picky and distrustful the young boss's family was after his old boss passed away, Shopkeeper Zhou felt aggrieved.
At this moment, he only felt that the note in his hand was worth a thousand pieces of gold. Suddenly he heard footsteps, and then he put the note in his arms.
The rest of the trip went smoothly, and Su Yizhao and the others finally returned to Beiyuan Mansion on the scheduled day.
People were coming and going on the pier, workers carrying goods shuttled among the crowd, and when they met people dressed in rich and noble clothes, their backs unconsciously bent a little.
After hiring laborers to carry the luggage, Su Wenqing and Su Yizhao led people to the teahouse nearby.
"Four masters! Fourth masters!" A shout came from the distance, the voice coming closer and closer.
Su Wenqing looked back and saw, wasn't it Uncle Liu, the housekeeper in the old house?
Uncle Liu quickly ran towards Su Wenqing, followed by several strong servants.
"I'm here to welcome you. I've been waiting here with my people for two days!"
Uncle Liu gave a big ceremony as soon as he came. The master's family rarely comes back these years. Now, the old house will become lively.
"Fourth Uncle!" A young scholar from the side also walked quickly and shouted towards Su Wenqing with a smile.
"It's Chu'er!" Su Wenqing nodded, with a smile on his face.
Su Yizhao immediately understood that this was Su Yichu, the second young master who stayed in his ancestral home and took the scientific examination. Su Yizhao quickly stepped forward and sweetly shouted, "Second brother!"
