The unwillingness shown by the salesman just now was just because he knew what the man meant by what he said, and he just wanted to express whether he was willing to accept another position. Of course, he asked more carefully: "Then
What can I do?"
The fourth child laughed and said immediately: "I still need a smart boy by my side to run errands for me and keep an eye on people in the yard. I just don't know if you are willing to help me?"
What the fourth child said was a bit harsh. In fact, he just wanted to develop his own confidants. After all, these servants of the Zhao family have been slaves for generations before. Everyone has a complicated relationship. Even if he finds someone being lazy, he will
I didn't dare to criticize anything.
After all, although he claims to be a steward, he actually has power, but he doesn't dare to use it. Who knows the relationship between the seven aunts and the eight aunts? After he punishes someone at will, he may offend someone who can't afford to offend him.
Where are the people.
The salesman is such a shrewd person. When he heard what Lao Si said, he immediately understood what he meant. Lao Si's words happened to be in line with the salesman's wish. For the salesman, this was not a piece of pie in the sky.
So when the fourth child finished speaking, the salesman had already stood up straight, with an extremely serious expression on his face, seriously showing his loyalty.
"The Fourth Master has given me such a good opportunity. If I don't seize it, even God will not be able to see it. I promise that I will listen to the Fourth Master about things in the yard from now on. Whatever you ask me to do, I will try my best to do it."
It has to be done well.”
The salesman's show of loyalty still satisfied Lao Si. He had just seen that the salesman was a shrewd and capable person, and felt that it was a waste for such a person to just clean the garden. Then he had an idea and decided that if the salesman was good, it would be considered a waste.
Just keep it in mind.
It’s not that the salesman is a rare smart person, but the most important thing is that this person doesn’t know anyone in the Zhao family, and his introducer is Zhao Shiyi, the disgrace of the Zhao family. You can tell by the appearance of the salesman that it’s impossible.
He is someone like Zhao Shiyi. There is no deep friendship between these two people, which makes the fourth child more at ease.
An outsider who knew no one in the Zhao family and had little friendship with anyone made the fourth child even more at ease. It also gave him the idea of pulling the salesman to his side.
The two of them hit it off, and the atmosphere of their conversation became better and better. The fourth child was particularly enthusiastic and personally arranged the salesman's residence. Of course, he did this mainly to announce to everyone that the salesman would be his from now on.
People.
The fourth child also believes that based on the conversation with the salesman just now, the salesman’s reaction shows that he is a smart man who knows what is best for him in the future.
The servants of the Zhao family usually live in the courtyard in the back street of the master's house. The master's family has the most servants, and the courtyard is already full. In order to win over the salesman, and also to let the salesman see his ability, the fourth child
They deliberately did not arrange for the salesman to live in another large courtyard. Instead, they took him to live in a small courtyard where the male masters lived as personal servants.
Today is the first day that the salesman entered the Zhao family. The fourth child just took him around the owner's yard for a while, mainly to tell the salesman where the master lived and where the stewards lived. The most important thing was to tell him
When the salesman has something to do in the future, where can he go to find him?
After arranging a place to live, Lao Si even sold the salesman a favor, so that he could not go to work today and get familiar with the environment. Of course, in the end, he carefully reminded the salesman and told him not to go to the residence of his masters.
.
After respectfully seeing off the fourth child, the salesman began to look at the place where he lived. Because of the preferential treatment given by the fourth child, the salesman was assigned a room for two people. There were two beds in the room. One bed was obviously occupied, and there were some daily necessities on the cabinet next to it.
The salesman handed his luggage to the empty bed and didn't stay in the room for long. The other person was obviously on errand, so the salesman didn't intend to stay in the room all the time.
He went to Zhao's house to inquire about information and make friends with more people who would be more useful to him. As for the servants in this courtyard, he just heard from the fourth child that the servants living in this courtyard are all close to the master.
Serve people.
Lao Si mentioned this specifically to let the salesman know his preferential treatment to the salesman, but when he heard this, he was also really happy.
It's not because he's happy because the living environment is better, but because these people are close to the master and there are more sources of information. It's more beneficial for him to have a good relationship with these people to complete the mission of the Gong Jian brothers.
The salesman walked around the small courtyard and got to know a few people who were not on duty. Then he walked out of the courtyard and walked casually nearby, getting familiar with the surrounding environment.
Fortunately, this salesman's original job was to walk around the streets and interact with people. So soon, he became familiar with other people from a stranger. Those people were also very happy. The new outsider was quite familiar.
It’s easy to deal with. Although these people are inevitably a little bit offended because they were born in the Zhao family.
I can't afford the salesman, but I can't resist the salesman's sweet mouth. A few words can always speak to someone's heart. Talking to such a person is a very pleasant enjoyment in itself. So it doesn't take much effort to exchange a few words with the salesman.
Afterwards, when these people looked at the salesman, their eyes became much kinder.
Of course, the salesman would not be eager to get information from these people at first. After all, he had to establish a foothold in the Zhao family first before thinking about other things.
Before coming here, the Gong Jian brothers had told the salesman that the young master named Zhao Rong and the boy accompanying him were called Xiao Tao. The news that the salesman had just found out from other people in the yard from the side showed that although these people were also under the master's control,
He is serving at his side, but obviously he is not in the most important position.
The real confidants of the master do not live here, they live directly in the master's yard. And after going around just now, although the salesman did not dare to inquire about Xiaotao's news with others, there was no one among the people he met.
One is named Xiaotao.
He murmured in his heart, it seemed that this Xiao Tao either lived in his master's yard, or was resting in the yard where he was currently on duty. He prayed in his heart, hoping that it was the latter reason, but to his disappointment, until
In the evening, everyone in the courtyard came back, and the salesman finally met everyone. But there was no one named Xiaotao among them.
Lying in bed at night, the salesman had to admit that it seemed that Xiao Tao did not live in this yard at all. (To be continued)
