    "Oh, it's not easy for me" Lao Jia sighed, not wanting to spoil the fun, so he returned to the original topic and said: "Young Master can buy that house, and it has relieved me of my worries. There is no need to say thank you."  .¡±

    Although the old man on the side was dressed in ordinary clothes, his demeanor was better than that of Lao Jia Chang. Hearing this, he smiled at Zhao Hao and said: "This old man is not being polite to you. He has been worried about the shabby house all day long. What should I do if it falls down? Could it be that  Do you still have to pay people to repair it?¡±

    "Which pot should not be opened?" Lao Jia Chang smiled nonchalantly, took a sip of millet porridge, and asked Zhao Hao casually: "I heard from Blacksmith Gao that the young master is looking for a book boy for your father?"

    ¡°Can Mr. Jia have anyone to recommend?¡± Zhao Hao nodded.  Tiejiang Gao had suggested to him that he could go to a tooth shop and buy a bookboy directly, which would only cost a dozen or twenty taels of silver.  But he still couldn't get over the psychological barrier of buying and selling people, so he still wanted to hire one from the neighborhood.

    "There really is a suitable one." Lao Jia smiled, turned to the stall owner Fang who brought several hot pots and said with a smile: "Aren't you asking me to help your boy find a job? How about it?  Go and be a book boy for Mr. Zhao?"

    "Uh" stall owner Fang said, somewhat undecided: "We have to discuss it with my wife."

    "Your mother-in-law is right by the river." Old Master Jia said, waving behind Zhao Hao and saying: "Fang Wen, come here and let Mr. Zhao have a look first. If you don't get it right, it's useless to ask."

    Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't notice at all that there was someone behind him.

    When I looked back, I saw that there was actually a young man about his own age, who was cleaning the table with his head down.

    Hearing what Mr. A said, the child put down the rag and came over shyly.

    "Hey, stall owner Fang has a son, but I haven't seen him before." Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile.

    "Hahaha, he helps at the stall every day!" The old man laughed and asked the child: "Tell me, how many times have you met Mr. Zhao?"

    "Three times" The child named Fang Wen timidly replied: "Plus this time four times."

    When Zhao Hao heard this, his eyes widened.  He thought back to himself that he had only been here four times in total.

    That is to say, this child is always there every time I come here, but why have I never noticed him?

    "Young master Zhao, don't be surprised. Even though I have been eating breakfast here for a year, if I hadn't known that the stall owner had a son, I would have often forgotten that there was such a person." Lao Jia said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

    The old man on the side also nodded with deep understanding and said: "At first I thought it was haunted"

    "Oh, this kid can't be beaten with eight sticks, and he doesn't stand out even if he stands in the sun." Stall owner Fang nodded his son's head dejectedly and said, "It would be a big sin to miss Mr. Zhao's business.  "

    Zhao Hao was very happy when he heard this. He had made Zhao Shouzheng so noisy all day long that his head was spinning. He wished that the rest of the family would be like dumb

    ???Looking at the child again, although his appearance is not outstanding, there is nothing wrong with his thin eyebrows and eyes. The only problem is that he is too ordinary and cannot be found in the crowd.

    "But with such a little transparency, isn't it just right to be a book boy?"  What should I do if I have a lot of trouble all day long and spoil my simple father?

    "Are you literate?" Zhao Hao asked the child.

    "I went to private school for a few years and dropped out after reading half of the Analects." Fang Wen said in a voice like a mosquito.

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Zhao Hao made the decision on the spot.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just hold an umbrella and study ink, what other talents and specialties do you need?

    "This" After hearing this, the stall owner Fang was both happy and a little worried, and said with a twinkle: "I will go and talk to my wife"

    Zhao Hao turned a deaf ear and said to himself: "If you don't sign the deed of sale, you only need to serve for three years. After three years, you can let him go or stay."

    stall owner Fang was visibly relieved when he heard this. The reason why he didn't want to take on this problem was that he was most worried about having to sign a contract of sale.  In this way, the sons will become slaves of the Zhao family for generations to come.  But I heard that Zhao Hao had no such intention at all.

    If he only signed a three-year contract, even if it was just to take care of food and housing, he could consider it.

    But I heard Zhao Hao continue: "I will be given two taels of silver every month, and all food, clothing, and accommodation will be covered. There will be a bonus at the end of the year, and the amount will depend on performance. I am still willing to stay after three years, and it will be increased to three taels a month. If you want to return,  Give me twenty taels of silver to make a home."

    "Oh" The old man in charge couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Brother, is a sixty-year-old book boy worthy of this job? He can still read and write."

    Zhao Haokai¡¯s conditions are very generous.  In this city of Nanjing, a full-time laborer can only earn two taels of silver after working hard for a month. Of course, skilled workers such as machinists and dyers can earn more.  Fang Wen is a young man who is fourteen or fifteen years old. He has not grown up in strength and has no skills., so shy and taciturn that even if he knew how to read, he could only work as an apprentice in a shop.

    ??And during the long apprenticeship period, you can¡¯t get paid

    "I'm joking, you are so weak on your legs and feet, how can you run errands for Mr. Zhao?" But the stall owner Fang said quickly: "The kid is young, has nimble hands and feet and talks little. He is born to be a book boy"

    "Oh, it's not like you can't make the decision yourself?" The old man teased and said, "It's better to discuss it with my wife. If she doesn't agree, don't miss my future."

    "That said, my family still has the final say" stall owner Fang said with a smile as he was crowded.

    "Hahaha" Everyone laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was extremely happy.

    ??~~

    While everyone was talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a loud bang, and the steamer placed in front of the stall was kicked over. Immediately, the steamer was scattered in all directions, and the steamed buns flew everywhere!

    Gao Wu quickly raised his hand to block it, flew towards Zhao Hao's basket, and caught a few steamed buns.

    Zhao Hao was startled, thinking that local gangsters were causing trouble. When he looked back, he saw an official wearing a long green cloth coat with arrow sleeves and a square flat cap with red feathers on it. He was leading a few people without red feathers.  The white servant stood there menacingly.

    The officer stood on the stove that had fallen to the ground, looking like he wanted to eat someone.  "Fang, get here here!"

    "It turns out to be Mr. Li Cha," the stall owner glanced at the food on the floor with distress, hurried over and said cautiously, "Why do I bother you to come?"

    "Do you think I'm willing to come?" The official held up the iron ruler, tapped stall owner Fang's chest, and said viciously: "I told you ten days ago that you will pay me the money you owe to the stall before the end of the month.  Come on! Today is the first day of the new year, where is your money?!"

    "It's a small business, but I really can't afford that much money" stall owner Fang was about to cry, and he couldn't help but bowed and said, "Master Li Cha, please give me a few more days of grace."

    "Who will forgive me if I grant you mercy?" Li Guancha gritted his teeth for a while. He was about to say, 'If you don't pay, I will move your things.  Huo Daodao: "If you don't pay the money today, I will sell your daughter to pay off the debt!"

    In that compartment, Qiaoqiao had been alarmed for a long time, but was held tightly by her mother and could not get over.

    Hearing the dirty words coming from the official's mouth, Qiaoqiao couldn't bear it anymore. With red eyes, she pointed at him and cursed: "Li Jiutian, are you speaking humanly? Why don't you sell your daughter?"  !¡±
