Chapter 22 Windfall

"Someone came to give Jujuro 10,000 guan?"

The news soon spread to the inner courtyard. Upon hearing the news, the Han family and his wife were also surprised and asked in unison.

"Yes, yes, sir, that's not the key." The butler nodded repeatedly, reaching out to wipe his sweat.

Isn't this the key?

"The key is that the man called Jujuro his boss," the steward said, "and said that this is the dividend so far."

Owner!Bonus!Currently!

In other words, there will be more money in the future, a steady stream of money!

The Han couple were stunned for a moment.

"He, when did he become the boss of the adult family?" Han's father shouted, "Where is the boss?"

At this time, the owner Han Yuanchao was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the study, and two or three boys were also rummaging around, making the usually neat and orderly study a mess.

"No, no..."

Han Yuanchao flipped through the volumes of books and threw them randomly on the desks. Soon the snack bag with the words "Taipingju" written on the desks was suppressed.

"Sir, which book is it?" The boys were sweating while flipping through it, so they had to ask again.

"The box of books I brought to Beijing last year..." Han Yuanchao said.

"That's quite a lot. Besides, I don't know where I got it when I got it back, or whether it was lent out..." the boys said.

Lend it out...

Han Yuanchao was stunned for a moment.

He was trying hard to think back now, but he could only remember that he had done the action scene of stuffing documents into a book, but he couldn't remember the specific book, and he had no memory at all.

If it's really lost...

"If it was really lost, wouldn't those two people want the money back?" the boy couldn't help but ask.

That's 10,000 guan...or more than 10,000 guan...

Although the Han family is not the kind of family that has never seen 10,000 guan, but...it is still 10,000 guan! And there will be more than 10,000 guan in the future.

"If I can't find the paperwork, I won't ask for it myself." Han Yuanchao said, even if he found the paperwork, he would have to carefully consider whether to take the money or not...

"Jujuro, what's going on?"

The Han family's parents also came over. Looking at the study where they couldn't get out, they had to stand at the door and asked.

"How did you become the owner of a certain store? Is it time to take the exam in Beijing?"

Han Yuanchao exhaled, his expression a little complicated.

"It's a long story..." he said, "and it's a bit of a joke..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a young boy yelling behind him.

"Sir, is this it?"

Han Yuanchao hurriedly looked back and saw the boy pulling out a piece of paper from a book.

"Yes, that's it!" Han Yuanchao shouted, stepping crookedly through the gap in the room to take it.

An ordinary, simple piece of paper was flattened out on the table, and the first thing that caught the eye was the bright red seal of the government guild.

"...I won't give you any wages for now, but I will give you a share of stock as compensation...I want to repay my benefactor, so I transfer it to my benefactor..."

"...Benefactor, if it weren't for my benefactor, I would have died. How could I have taken care of my old age and my young..."

The man's fearful and excited kowtow seemed to appear before Han Yuanchao's eyes. In fact, he couldn't even remember what this man looked like.

"You mean this bonus is what this man repays you for?"

After listening to the story, Han's parents were even more surprised. This was simply unbelievable.

"..In less than a year, one bonus has given me 10,000 yuan worth of shares?"

What kind of store is this? Isn’t this too rich?

"They also brought account books." Han Yuanchao said, pointing to a few cases, and then saw that the cases were already piled up. He took a few steps over and pushed away the books on the cases and found two thick books.

He rolled up the account book and handed it to his father.

As I turned around, something fell down.

Han Yuanchao turned around and saw the bag of snacks.

Taipingju…

Taipingju!!

He hurriedly reached out and picked it up, turning it over and over.

Isn't this the one from Taipingju?

"...This is a regular account book...it's not fake, nor is it random...you see it's certified by the seal of the government and guild..." Han's father said.

Mother Han leaned over to look at it together and nodded.

"...Business isn't very good either...it costs so much..." she said while looking at it, "...no wonder I couldn't even pay the wages in the beginning..."

Then I thought about what my son said about the location of this store. It looked like a footwear store no matter how you looked at it.

It would be great if the total profit in one year is 10,000 yuan.

But watching the couple stop talking, their expressions became more and more surprised.

"...Why did business suddenly pick up?" Mother Han couldn't help but say.

Father Han didn't bother to talk and read through it. Of course, he only had a rough look at it, but the account was clear and he could see it clearly.

"If you are not famous at the beginning, your business will naturally be poor. If you suddenly become famous, it is normal for your business to increase significantly." He said, looking up at Han Yuanchao, "I wonder how it suddenly became famous?"

Han Yuanchao was startled and made a sound. Father Han shouted twice before raising his head.

"What is this?" Mother Han asked, looking at the bag in Han Yuanchao's hand.

Everything my son brings with him is from home. Except for the sachet given by his fiancée, he will never use anything from outsiders, especially this kind of female beauty.

Motherhood and a woman's instincts made her a little nervous.

"I got this from my aunt." Han Yuanchao said, smiled and explained the matter.

Mother Han made a sound, reached for it, and poured out a piece of snack. Because it had been crushed and flattened when she placed it, she sniffed it and tasted it slightly.

"Yeah, not bad." She nodded and praised.

"Could this be done by Taipingju?" Han's father asked.

"Father, it takes a month to get here from the capital. How can we leave it here for so long?" Han Yuanchao said with a smile.

Father Han also thought of it and smiled.

"This peaceful life is quite interesting," he said.

There were three members of the family sitting together in the study. The scattered books around looked a little funny, and thinking about what happened today, the three of them also felt a little funny.

"This is incredible." Mother Han said, looking at the account book, "Judging from this account book, the next bonus will be more than 10,000 yuan..."

This bonus is so huge that it can be worth her two dowry fields in less than a year. What about the future?

"I really didn't expect it." Han Yuanchao said with some reminiscence, "I didn't take it seriously at the time. I thought that the footwear shop would not be able to survive after only a year and a half, but I also thought how much better it would be if it really opened.

, how much can a bonus be..."

He lowered his head and looked at the flying money coupons, account books, and deeds in front of him.

If he had known it would be so much, he would never have accepted it at that time.

No, it's not too late to know now.

"I can't accept this money," he said.

Han's parents also nodded.

"We will accept the chef's gratitude, but we cannot accept this kind of money," they said.

After hearing what the three Han family members said, the two men waiting in the hall laughed.

"Our eldest sister is really right." They said with a smile, "The Han Dong family is like Shi She. If they come to ask for help, they will certainly do it without hesitation, but if they send money, they will definitely not accept it." [Note 1]

Eldest sister?

Han Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously the image of a carriage and a maid with a bright smile appeared.

Could it be...

"Is this Taipingju's owner hers?" He couldn't help but blurt out.

Her home?

Which her?

The Han couple looked at their son with some confusion. It seemed that what they just said was not detailed enough.

The two men seemed to understand who Han Yuanchao was talking about, and they smiled.

"One..." one replied.

It turns out to be her!

Is it Mr. Chen’s house?

Then this...

"Master, just accept it. Our eldest sister said, if you don't accept it, we two don't have to go back." The two men laughed, "Master, it's not easy for us to find a good job to support our family. You are a

As a good gentleman who can stand up for justice when encountering injustice on the road, please don’t make things difficult for us. If anything happens, you bosses can tell us. The two countries are at war and will not be killed..."

These words made all three people in the Han family laugh.

"Okay, I'll accept it then." Han Yuanchao said with a smile, "If anything happens, it's my business. It's between me and your boss. I won't embarrass you."

"Thank you so much, boss. You are indeed chivalrous." The two men saluted and praised.

"You guys have worked hard all the way, come here." Han's father said with a smile.

Then two more boys came in.

"You guys go and have a rest. Although our Suzhou city is not as good as the capital city, we still have some sights to see. You go and take a look around." Han's father said.

The two men did not refuse, thanked them generously and left.

There were only three people from the family left in the hall, looking at each other for a moment.

"Then, father will use this money first." Han Yuanchao said, pushing the flying money coupons to his father, "Don't sell the land, and don't use mother's dowry."

"Is this appropriate?" Father Han hesitated.

"It's appropriate." Han Yuanchao said, "Guo Zijun was here just now..."

"Calling him Guo Hou doesn't mean Zijun." Mother Han interrupted him and said angrily.

Han Yuanchao Yixiao knew his mother's taboo and changed his words with a smile.

"..Guo Hou is here and has heard and seen with his own eyes that they sent me money. It won't be long before everyone in Suzhou City knows that I have a shop in the capital. It's perfect for you, father, to use the money.

It has nothing to do with our Han family's money, nor is it sold to raise money, and there is nothing for outsiders to say."

This is a perfect solution.

Unexpectedly, the matter was suddenly resolved so easily, and Han's parents couldn't help but smile.

"You kid, you are so lucky to have a trip to the capital." Mother smiled and then changed the subject, "But who is the eldest sister?"

Plastic surgery in South Korea and Yuan Dynasty.

"I was about to tell my parents, but I'm not sure. Rather than saying that I helped the cook, it's better to say that someone else helped me and the cook." He said, taking a deep breath and making up his mind.

Generally, "And, I guess, this person may be..."

He paused.

"What could it be?" Mother Han couldn't help but curiously asked when her son described him so solemnly.

"Maybe it's Chen Shao and Prime Minister Chen's house." Han Yuanchao said.

Chen Shao!

The Han family's parents suddenly looked shocked.

This is more shocking than seeing how much bonus you get!

As a local county magistrate, Han's father had never seen an imperial official after being an official for more than ten years. His son actually went to the capital to take the exam and met a great minister!

"I remembered who she was!"

At the same time, in the Zhang family in Tongjiang County, a servant girl threw down the clothes she was ironing, shouted, and ran outside.

The other maids in the room were startled. One of them picked up the iron to avoid burning her clothes. Another shouted a few times, but the maid had already run away.

"Madam, madam, it's her, it's her."

Seeing the servant girl kneeling in front of her out of breath, Han Yunniang was a little puzzled, while Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting on the other side, snorted.

"There are no rules." She said in a nonchalant manner, "Niang Yun, you can't spoil these servants."

Han Yunniang smiled slightly.

"Yes, mother, don't worry, my wife is sensible." She replied, her attitude was respectful, but her words were not soft.

Mrs. Zhang curled her lips and said nothing.

Now she doesn't dare to accuse this daughter-in-law at will. If she gets angry again, she won't be able to find Mrs. Cheng who can bring her back to life.

"Old madam, Madam, that maid is the same maid who treated Madam back then! It was her yesterday!" the maid shouted, "No wonder she said that Sister Yuan has grown taller again... She naturally recognizes Yuan.

My sister’s!”

What?

Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned, and immediately stood up at the same time.

"Are you talking about Mrs. Cheng who came back from the dead?" they asked in unison.

"Yes, yes, no wonder they said they wanted to go see a house yesterday. It was not to rent a house at all, but to revisit their old place and want to see... Oh, oh, that lady also gave Sister Yuan a bag of snacks, oh

Oops, that maid also met Sister Yuan and she obviously knew her. I, I didn’t expect it! Oops, ouch..."

What the servant was still saying could no longer be heard by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Mother, that lady is just like the beauty in the painting..."

Han Yunniang smiled in surprise, was it her? Was it her?

"Hurry, go find it!" She shouted, shouting in her mouth, still not relieved, so she just hurried out.

"Find quickly, find quickly." Mrs. Zhang also shouted.

I found it so that the miracle doctor could save a prescription so that she could have something to do when my daughter-in-law was in trouble again.

Although Tongjiang County is not a big city, it is not easy to find an outsider who does not know his name, appearance, or where he came from. When he finally asked about the inn three days later, Cheng Jiaoniang and his party had already gone far away.

"I think he came from the capital. His accent is from the capital, but I don't know where he went. He left early four days ago..." said the waiter in the store.

It's like this again, no, it's better than last time, at least I know where it comes from.

Is this destined or not? Why do we always see it but not see it again?

Han Yunniang exhaled softly and looked at the sky where dark clouds were gradually rising and the first snow was about to come.

"It's going to snow... everyone, hurry up..." Manager Cao shouted, "Ten miles further we will enter Jiangzhou's territory..."

After running around for so long, we were finally arriving, and everyone in front and behind cheered loudly.

In this joy, there was only one person whose face turned pale.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" The old servant got into the car, looked at Wang Shiqilang, who was huddled in the corner of the car wrapped in a cloak, and said helplessly, "We're about to get home..."

The corners of Wang Qishilang's mouth flattened.

"So my death is coming..." he said in a hoarse voice, tears almost flowing out.

The old servant made two noises.

"It's okay to die and live," he said.

"Uncle Gu, I don't want to marry that woman!" Wang Shiqilang choked and shouted while grabbing the old servant's arm. Halfway through, he hurriedly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.

The old servant gave a wry smile, but it happened anyway.
