Straight man of steel

Chapter 27 Don't let the world make money

The scene was very embarrassing. When the girl you are pursuing tells you that you have no money, how can you marry her? Zhang Yuan thinks that most boys will feel ashamed.

Now Sima Xiangru should also feel this feeling, not to mention that there is Zhang Yuan who is always against him.

In desperation, Sima Xiangru had no choice but to bite the bullet and said to Zhuo Wenjun.

"When Changqing is ready for the dowry, I will come to the Zhuo Mansion to propose marriage to your father."

After speaking, he walked away.

As soon as Sima Xiangru left, the servants who went to get Zhang Yuan's release documents and the deed of prostitution also came back. This time, Zhang Yuan took a long look at it and checked it several times and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he burned it in front of Zhuo Wenjun.

Zhuo Wenjun walked out from behind the screen, pretending not to see Zhang Yuan's actions just now, and started talking about Sima Xiangru.

"Ayuan, I don't think Sima Xiangru will give up so easily. I sent him away this time. I don't know how he will pester me next time."

Zhang Yuan, who had just solved the major events of his life, felt better, and answered Zhuo Wenjun's question casually.

"It's very simple. Miss, if you find another husband, you can get rid of this man."

The speaker has no intention of the listener.

"Are you talking about yourself?"

Why do I have such a mean mouth?

"The villain can't come up with a dowry that satisfies the head of the family."

"You have found a way to produce a large amount of wrought iron. Even if you ask me and my sister to marry you at this time, I think my father will not refuse."

Zhang Yuan had seen Zhuo Wenjun's younger sister who was not out of the cabinet once, but she had a big waist and a round figure, so she couldn't arouse her interest at all. If she looked like Zhuo Wenjun, even if she was a little short, Zhang Yuan would accept it.

Why are they both born to the same parents, the gap is so big.

"The villain really can't bear it. Miss, please stop making fun of the villain."

"Could it be that you dislike me for being old and my sister for being plump?"

Another proposition, it feels really uncomfortable to walk on the tip of a knife.

"Don't say that you are in your youth, miss, what if you are old? You must be very cute when you are old."

"Pfft."

After successfully making Zhuo Wenjun laugh, Zhang Yuan passed this level.

"Miss, I have a question for you."

Zhuo Wenjun slightly parted his red lips and said.

"Even if Xiao Lang asks, Zhuo Ji will know everything."

In fact, Zhang Yuan didn't really want to ask Zhuo Wenjun this question, because he didn't know anyone else around him.

"How much gold and silver does it cost to buy a house with a yard in Linqiong County that can accommodate a dozen people?"

Zhuo Wenjun's face was a little dark.

"I just gave you a good document, now I have to sever ties with the Zhuo family?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly and said.

"The villain doesn't have that kind of idea, but there are some things that are inconvenient to do in Zhuo's mansion. For example, the idea that the villain told the eldest lady before, if it is tested in the mansion, it will probably disturb the master's rest."

Hearing that Zhang Yuan was thinking about this matter, regardless of whether what he said was true or not, Zhuo Wenjun felt better.

"If you want to move out, I will ask my father to buy a house for you."

Zhang Yuan had originally planned to separate from the Zhuo family, so how could he let Zhuo Wangsun buy a house for him?

"No need, Miss. The master of the house has already given me 50 taels of silver every month. I don't dare to ask for anything else."

Zhuo Wenjun smiled contemptuously, as if he felt that Zhang Yuan's dispensable self-esteem was not worth maintaining.

"Buying the house you mentioned, even in Linqiong, costs 20 taels of gold. I guess there is nothing left of your previous monthly salary. If you want to move out, you will have to do so in two months. You really don't want to." Ask my father to buy it for you?"

Isn't it just the money for two pots, even though I can't afford a penny now.I knew it would be the current situation. When I opened the Zhuojia Restaurant, I asked Zhuo Wangsun to draw a lot. Anyway, he is rich and powerful and doesn’t care about the money. But now my purpose has been exposed to Zhuo Wenjun. It is much harder to make money elsewhere.

"Two months is just two months. Don't be in a hurry, little one. Miss, if you have nothing else to do, please tell me to leave first."

"Don't be in a hurry, since you finished singing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" more than a month ago, can you write new poems or articles?"

It should be that Zhuo Wenjun had lost interest in the poems copied by Zhang Yuan before, so he wanted to ask him if he had any new works.

When Zhuo Wenjun mentioned it, Zhang Yuan suddenly had an idea.

"There is a song, just inspired by it, Miss, do you really want to listen to it?"

Zhuo Wenjun heard that Zhang Yuan had just thought it up, thought it was written for himself, and immediately nodded like a little girl.

"Ayuan, please read it to me quickly."

Zhang Yuan smiled charmingly, and chanted while walking outside.

"No alchemy, no sitting meditation, no farming for merchants.

If you are free to write, you can sell it on the green hills, so as not to make money in the world. "

After finishing the recitation, she ran away, leaving only Zhuo Wenjun thinking about it. After a while, she realized that she wanted to trouble Zhang Yuan, but he was gone.

"Hmph, you're the first one who dislikes our family's money. I'm sure there will be time to deal with you later."

Zhang Yuan, who had escaped from Zhuo Wenjun, heard the roar from behind and suddenly felt like he had escaped from danger.

He patted his chest and waited until he had recovered his breath before returning to his residence.

In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, the snow drifts thousands of miles away.

In the winter, you should hide in the house, cultivate the spirit of the season, and wait until spring begins to run for a living.

The weight of the iron pot and wrought iron was enough for the Zhuo family to digest for a while. Zhang Yuan had already made it clear to Zhuo Wangsun how to make it.

Ever since the Zhuojia Restaurant was closed for an indefinite period, the gluttons in Linqiong Xungui's belly were hooked up to his throat, and he was still alive, struggling desperately.

Almost when the threshold of Zhuo Mansion was about to be breached, Zhuo Wangsun announced that he was going to sell the iron pot at the Zhuo Family Restaurant.

Yes, Zhuo Wangsun plans to transform the restaurant into a shop selling iron pots.

When Zhang Yuan heard about it, an idea came to his mind.Just run to Zhuo Wangsun and pat him on the shoulder, telling him that you have made progress.

"Young Master, Young Master, the master of the house has sent someone to tell you that iron pots will be sold at Zhuo's Restaurant tomorrow, so you can follow him there at noon tomorrow."

Xiaoqing stepped on the snow and jumped into Zhang Yuan's bedroom and shouted.

"The owner said that the sale will start at noon?"

Xiaoqing nodded her head a few times like a chicken pecking at rice.

"That's what the person who came to communicate said."

When Zhang Yuan was thinking that Zhuo Wangsun's learning ability was too fast, a gust of cold wind blew from outside, making him shiver.

"Close the door quickly, do you want to freeze your son to death?"

Xiaoqing let out an oh, turned around and closed the door.

If the iron pot sells well tomorrow, he should be able to leave the Zhuo family.

At this time, Zhang Yuan has received a monthly salary of two months, which is a full 100 taels of silver. During this time, he did not spend any money. He was rationed by the Zhuo Mansion, who was eating and drinking, in order to save enough money to buy a house. .

"Xiao Qing, if your son and I move out, will you come with me?"

Although Xiaoqing's face was filled with hope and yearning, her eyes were empty.

"The servant girl naturally wants to be with the young master, but I'm afraid there's nothing I can do if the young miss and the Patriarch don't let go."

Xiao Qing was all the private property of the Zhuo family, and Zhang Yuan had to find a way to get Xiao Qing's Jie Liang document from Zhuo Wangsun.

"Don't worry, the young master will definitely take you with him when he leaves."
