Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 39 Golden Barley

This has to start with Zhao Liuzhu, who later became Zhao Chunming.

As planned, Zhao Liuzhu went to No. 9 Yongxing Lane to pick up his sister's things. In order to thank the Wang family for the reward of grain, he carried a load of food from home into the city.

The baskets on both sides of the shoulder pole were filled with seasonal vegetables and wild fruits. These fresh local specialties represented the Zhao family's thoughts.

I got up too early, and when I arrived at No. 9 Yongxing Lane, the gate was still closed. I saw the Wang family carriage drive into the lane, and then I saw the maid who looked like the master.

After asking his purpose, he was allowed into the west room of the gatehouse. After a while, Zhu Yu ran in hurriedly holding something.

Why was he panicking? Mainly because the basket was filled with vegetables, and Zhu Yu almost fell into the basket when he ran into the house.

Zhao Liuzhu was quick and stepped forward to pull the man out. Then, a small package was stuffed into his arms. He didn't know what it was, but it was very heavy.

Zhu Yu turned around and was about to leave, then turned back.

"Brother, you are my lady's man now! My lady said you have to work hard."

He was about to lift his legs and walk again, but stopped again.

"Here is a letter from the young lady for you. Please read it first and do what it says. Then you can go quickly. Go quickly."

Just like that, Zhao Liuzhu was pushed by the girl and left the gate of No. 9 Yongxing Lane.

He didn't even have time to take the basket away, so he just hurriedly pulled out the carrying pole and picked it up.

Zhu Yu pushed Zhao Liuzhu out of the door and closed it tightly, as if he was afraid that Zhao Liuzhu would come back to find him. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Qing'er came with the kitchen staff.

When he saw that there was no one at the gate, he shouted:

"Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu, where is your brother?"

"Oh, we have to reward him. This time my mother was afraid that he would take advantage of the host again, so he left first."

Following Wang Jinyi's advantage, this is shown, just open your mouth and speak. After saying that, afraid that Qing'er would continue to ask, he quickly ran towards the second gate of Haitang.

Qing'er thought for a moment and said to the person from the kitchen who followed her:

"Estimate the price, and put the money on Zhu Yu's head in the future. The kitchen will put it on the account first, and the money must be given to Zhu Yu..."

No one can slack off, and no one can suffer losses. This is the stewardship principle of the Wang family that has lasted for thousands of years.

At this time, Zhao Liuzhu, who was pushed out of the door, had a new understanding of the girl. She was startled, as if she had done something shameful.

The sun is shining nicely.

Zhao Liuzhu didn't even leave the alley. He found a sheltered place in the alley, opened the note the girl gave him, thought about it, and read it carefully again.

Does this mean opening your own rice shop?

The note stated how to open a store, and all the accounting, reporting, funding, etc. were arranged.

Zhao Liuzhu was somewhat at a loss. He squatted in the sun and thought for a while. He opened the package and looked at the wooden box with gold sprinkled inside. It was really heavy. He turned around, faced the wall, and opened the lid of the box.

Seeing the 10 golden ingots neatly arranged in the box, Zhao Liuzhu almost couldn't hold the box and dropped it on the ground.

He hurriedly and hurriedly closed the lid, wrapped it up again, and finally wrapped Zhu Yujin's clothes again, wrapped it with a layer of cloth, and finally tied it with a rope and hugged it tightly.

The sunlight shone directly on Zhao Liuzhu, becoming brighter and warmer. Zhao Liuzhu squatted there numbly as if he had no consciousness.

In fact, he didn't think about anything, he just felt it was impossible. He was worried that he would wake up from the dream as soon as he left this place, so he didn't dare to move, wanting to make this beautiful dream last longer.

But this alley was still awake, with people buying groceries and riding in cars passing by, and pedestrians coming and going. Zhao Liuzhu pinched himself desperately, but it didn't hurt much.

It was not until a coachman asked him to move aside that he realized that the two carriages were intersecting and he was in the way.

So he walked towards the alley.

As he merged into the crowd, the feeling of the wind blowing was so real, the hawking sounds became louder and louder, and the touch of people passing by made Zhao Liuzhu feel real.

Zhao Liuzhu found a spot against the wall, reached into the package, and confirmed that the box containing the gold was still there.

So what should I do now?

Yes, the little note from the lady. I took it out and looked at it. Oh! That’s right, I should change the gold ingots into silver first, so that it will be easier to spend and avoid trouble.

The young lady told herself to be cautious. Yes, she should ask her uncle first. Her uncle is the manager of the Cheng family and should know what to do.

In fact, Wang Jinyi initially used the Zhao brothers because he considered that if the Zhao brothers had any problems that they couldn't figure out in the early stages, they could go to the Cheng family and ask his uncle.

But Wang Jinyi never expected that he wanted to open a shop secretly. From the moment Zhao Liuzhu went to the Cheng family to exchange gold ingots for silver, the fact that he opened a shop became known to everyone.

Zhao Liuzhu arrived at the Cheng family. He asked the servant to inform him that he wanted to find his uncle. Aunt Xu was an old lady in the mansion. The eldest son of the family had been in the mansion since he was a child and followed the eldest young master. Later, he became the housekeeper of the first house.

The eldest uncle of the Zhao family took the surname of the master and was called Cheng Dafu.

Today, a servant told Cheng Dafu that a man named Zhao Liuzhu came to see him. He thought that something might have happened at home, or at his third brother's home.

When Cheng Dafu hurried to the gatehouse, he saw Zhao Liuzhu standing outside the gatehouse holding something, and seemed a little anxious.

After the two chatted, they also saw the gold in the box. Cheng Dafu felt that this was not true, and then he read the note written by Wang Jinyi saying "at your discretion".

Cheng Dafu felt that he had to inform the master.

After all, these ten taels of gold are equivalent to a hundred taels of silver! It is a very important thing. How can you give it to a 13-year-old child and run around the street with it? He didn't even follow people. It looked like a child playing around.

No! We have to inform them immediately. Cheng Dafu settled Zhao Liuzhu in the gatehouse and asked someone to bring him food and drink.

She took away the gold ingot, the box and the note, saying that she was going to exchange them for silver. She first went back to the main room to talk to Cheng Boyan, the eldest son of the Cheng family. After she finished speaking, both the master and the servant felt that the younger sister must not know about it and that this was just a little girl playing around.

If Pavilion Master Wang finds out, it will be disastrous.

Cheng Boyan hurried to the upper room. After telling Mrs. Cheng that she was Cheng Huiniang's mother, Mrs. Cheng first thought about it. How old was the child who was unconscious a few days ago? Wasn't he just a 3-year-old baby? Why did he feel so grown up? Like a 13-year-old girl, running her own business?

Mrs. Cheng shook her head in disbelief, as her daughter only gave birth to a daughter, the three-year-old child.

I took out the note and read it again. Each line was detailed and clear, and it didn't sound like he was being instigated by someone.

Out of caution, Mrs. Cheng immediately sent Cheng Boyan to the Wang family to verify the situation.

As a result, Cheng Boyan rushed to Wang's house with a lot on his mind, only to find out that his sister had gone to No. 9 Yongxing Lane. So he said goodbye and went straight to Yongxing Lane.

When Cheng Boyan took out a letter from his arms and put a small box in it, his mother Hui Niang felt that the box looked more and more familiar.

At the urging of my brother, I unfolded the note. After reading it all, I didn't understand what it meant, but I just thought who is this person? He arranged things so well, he must be a rare housekeeper.

But my brother came to visit suddenly, why should he show me this?

"Brother, this is..."

Cheng Boyan smiled and asked, "Guess who wrote this?"

"Brother, what on earth are you going to say!?"

"Jin'er, this is what Jin'er wrote to the servants."

"What?" "Jin'er can't write..."

The mother was about to say that her daughter couldn't write, but she swallowed it back. Even if she couldn't write, she could still write stories, right? And she had to print them.

What about this word? After looking at it again and again, even this familiar yellow and white paper, isn't it the paper that Qingyu took away to record the story for the young lady?

With a plan in mind, he asked, "What did Jin'er do?"

Cheng Boyan told him everything about Zhao Liuzhu coming to him for help and Cheng Dafu's report.

Then he pushed the small box towards the girl.

"This is Jin'er's start-up capital, take a look."

The mother knew her daughter well, so she opened the box and looked at the golden barley.

This child is precocious, has ideas and is daring, but no one would have expected him to be so bold as to advise someone he has never met on how to do business.

I was really shocked when I opened the box. Although I had expected it, I was still shocked.
