Chapter 382 Sold Out
Pei Langjun heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's alright, then..."
"What do they have to worry about?" Sun Langjun came out with a cup of hot tea, and said in a weird tone, "Those two are so bold that they dare to bargain with the young imperial master. They are rubbish."
Pei Langjun hurriedly said: "They also know that they are wrong. You don't know that they..."
"I just cried in front of you, so loudly, of course I heard it. Come on! They are just acting because they didn't get the upper hand." Sun Langjun interrupted Pei Langjun without giving him any face, "The poems they wrote are not as good as yours, but they dared to ask the Glass Official Kiln to pay them in advance. It's really funny."
Pei Langjun was helpless: ...
Another young man added, "That's right! In fact, we all know that the inscription was an excuse for the young imperial master to subsidize us common people. These two actually made trouble and complained that the money the official kiln gave them was not enough. They even dared to make demands. They have no self-awareness at all."
At this time, another young man appeared and said slowly, "Yes. Pei Langjun, you should grow up a little! They don't have much good intentions towards you, just like the inspector Wang they went to visit. It is obvious that the inspector Wang's uncle was saved by your father before, and he has a good relationship with you, but you didn't come to visit, but they relied on their status as fellow villagers to curry favor with the inspector Wang."
"What are you saying? It's so ugly. Jealousy is so ugly." Brother Zhu came over without knowing when. He sneered and turned to Pei Langjun, still maintaining courtesy, "Brother Pei, thank you for recommending Wang Jianxiu."
Mr. Lu's attitude became even worse: "If Mr. Pei doesn't want to go, why can't we go? Or are you eager to go for us? Besides, we also spoke well of Mr. Pei in front of Prosecutor Wang. Prosecutor Wang even specifically asked us to pack some cakes for Mr. Pei."
These words were like pouring fuel on the fire.
The atmosphere is becoming increasingly serious.
Pei Langjun stepped forward and comforted them: "It is your ability to be appreciated by Lord Wang, but it is better to be low-key in your conduct and work." After that, Pei Langjun turned around and said: "Everyone, we are all in trouble in winter, and it is not easy to share the hardships."
Brother Zhu was flattered. The others also calmed down, thinking of huddling together for warmth in the winter.
Brother Lu said something sarcastically: "Haha! To be honest, instead of expecting the nobles to give you a share of the profits after buying the glass, why don't you go with us to visit Wang Jianxiu? At least he comes from a family of officials and is a true lover of talent. Any silver he gives us will be enough. Besides, if you are an official in Daxia, you must pay a visit to the dock in advance to gain the nobles' recognition..."
"That's too much!" Pei Langjun's face darkened. "If you want to pursue a career in politics, it's up to you to curry favor with the rich! But if you dare to disrespect the Imperial Master again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The good guy suddenly became serious, which surprised Brother Lu and Brother Zhu.
Just at this moment, there was an excited sound suddenly coming from outside.
"It's sold!" "It's sold!" "What a great harvest!"
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Then, a craftsman from the official glass kiln came running over with excitement, and then slammed a large bag in his hand heavily on the table.
He looked at everyone with a burning gaze: "Students, your good day has come!"
Students: Huh?
Without waiting for the students to ask, the craftsman spoke as fast as if he was counting on an abacus: "Sold! All the glass artworks you helped make have been sold!"
The students immediately perked up and excitedly asked:
"Really? Who did you sell it to?"
"I'm a little excited. I don't know how to describe it. Who sold it?"
"Haha, we even made a bet on who would sell it first."
