The moat of Qingshan County is a branch of Songjiang River. Although there is no port or dock here, there is a small ferry.
This ferry was built ten years ago. It is a long embankment extending from the shore into the water, which can be used for passing ships to resupply.
Su Shien pointed to this place. It was very close to another academy in Qingshan County and had a dense flow of people. However, there were also many small vendors doing business. If he opened a store here, he would probably face fierce competition.
Han Zeyu took a look and found that the vacant land near the ferry was quite large. It was indeed feasible to buy a piece of land to build a yard, but the construction period would be longer.
When the official saw that there was a way, he thought the deal would be successful, so he actively recommended a construction team to them. If they wanted to build a shop, they would definitely need bricks, tiles, sand and gravel, and he was familiar with the brick kilns.
Digging a well? He knew a reliable well digger.
Want to buy a well ring? He has a kiln craftsman he knows well.
Need a clerk? The person in charge of the pawnshop is his third brother.
Looking for a spatula? Need some cooking utensils? Need tables, chairs, and benches? Need a water tank or bucket? He knows where to find the best deals on oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings.
Oh my god~ Su Shien's head was buzzing when he heard this. Doesn't this person hold back when he speaks? This is the main point of being airtight and impeccable!
Han Zeyu wanted to applaud. What a talent, big brother! This ability to seize opportunities would definitely make him a gold medal salesperson no matter what era he was in.
Han Zeyu also said: "Brother, are you considering changing jobs? I will hire you with a high salary."
The officer was speechless after hearing this. He almost choked on his saliva. This was the first time he had seen someone come to the county government office to poach officers. He was so bold and arrogant.
Su Shien really wanted to laugh. Finally, someone could understand his feelings. Talking with Yu Ge'er was a test of his on-the-spot reaction and could also temper his will.
The official thought Han Zeyu didn't want to listen to his nagging, so he immediately changed his sales mode and took the two of them to the ferry to look at the land. The whole process was concise and to the point, and he was very frugal with words, which was completely different from the eloquent gold medal salesman just now.
Han Zeyu bought a large piece of land, which was more than enough to build a second courtyard and even leave enough space for a small vegetable garden.
The clerk was delighted. For such a large area, he could get three hundred and twenty taels, and a kickback of nine taels and six cents. It was really a case of not doing business for three months but making a living for three months after opening.
Measuring the land, paying the money and signing the contract, the efficiency of this transaction was amazing. When the clerk was writing the land deed and the transaction certificate, he found out that the person who wanted to poach with a high salary was a young man, and he was also the eldest lady of the Su family.
In other words, the aloof young man just now was Young Master Su. Qingshan County had thirty-six new scholars this year, and he was one of them.
Young Master Su had no interest in imperial examinations and was fond of romance, poetry and songs. This was a well-known fact in the county. But unexpectedly, this young master passed the examination. Although he did not perform as well as his younger brother, his ranking was not bad either.
As to how he passed the imperial examination, there are different opinions among the students.
Today, while the couple was away, Mrs. Su Wang also asked her son how Su Shien had achieved that ranking in the exam.
In fact, Su Yunsong was also confused at first, but he got the answer after attending the teacher appreciation banquet.
It turned out that the chief examiner of this year was good at poetry and liked beautiful sentences and gorgeous words, so my brother's writing style just happened to suit his taste.
Mrs. Su Wang was speechless. That kid was really lucky to have gotten a pretty good ranking.
Mr. Su left home early in the morning and returned home after dark. However, the couple came back even later than him and still haven't returned.
Seeing that Master Su was unhappy, Mrs. Su Wang consoled him, "Master, don't worry. As far as I know those two children, they will definitely be back for dinner."
As expected, the cold dishes in the main courtyard were already on the table, and the servant came over to report that the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress had returned home.
Master Su frowned and said angrily, "You're treating the Su Mansion like an inn. You won't come back until it's time to eat and sleep, right?"
"Master, calm down. We just finished the college entrance examination. We should let the children relax for a few days."
"Relax? It's fine if you don't go back to the academy to study. Look at Yunsong, he's always reading when he's at home. But look at that rebellious son, how long has it been since he last touched a book? Does he want to remain a scholar for the rest of his life, stagnating?"
Mrs. Su Wang sighed and said, "After all, Shi En is already married. Maybe he feels constrained living at home and wants to move out!"
Mr. Su frowned. He understood what Mrs. Su Wang meant. He had indeed said before that he would divide the family property between them after Shi En got married, but now that the boy suddenly passed the imperial examination, he was a little hesitant.
Seeing that her husband was wavering, Madam Su quickly changed the subject, but she became more determined in her heart to separate the two.
The next morning, Tiezhu drove his carriage back to Yunshan Village to pick someone up and solved a small problem for his master along the way.
Tiezhu was extremely excited. His master said that whether he could stand on his own depended on his performance this time.
Zhao Xun was playing with the little rabbits that Brother Han gave him at home. The furry bunch of rabbits huddled together looked really beautiful and delicious.
Wipe your saliva quickly, the little rabbit is so cute, you can’t eat it now.
At this time, there was a thud from the courtyard wall, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Zhao Xun immediately picked up the wooden stick by the wall and carefully hid behind the door to observe.
When the tall and strong figure turned around, Zhao Xun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the particularly powerful servant beside Young Master Su, a tough guy who could kill a big wild boar.
The tough guy was clapping his hands in fear at this moment. Oh my God! Which vicious person came up with such a trick to stick sharp pottery shards all over the wall? It was really inhumane. Fortunately, he was agile.
"Brother Tiezhu, why are you here? Does Brother Han have something to tell you?"
Tiezhu was startled and turned around on the spot. Finally, he stopped and lowered his head, and finally saw the skinny little monkey.
Zhao Xun smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm too short and I'm standing in your blind spot."
Tiezhu was no ordinary man; he had no idea what irony was! After hearing what Zhao Xun said, he even stood next to him, gestured with his hands, nodded seriously, and commented seriously, "It's indeed not high."
Zhao Xun was speechless. I'm not asking, but what on earth are you doing here, brother?
Tiezhu conveyed his master's intention, which was to let Zhao Xun collect ripe wild fruits, the more the better, and he would pay for them.
Give Zhao Xun a hundred copper coins, refund him any excess and give him any shortfall, and let him collect it with confidence. As for that annoying Ergou, he doesn't need to worry, he will take care of it himself.
After Tiezhu finished speaking, he climbed over the wall and left in a cool manner. At this moment, he was going to complete his mission.
Zhao Xun hadn't even called out to anyone, thinking, "There's a door, why would anyone jump over the wall?" This reckless man had messed up all the pottery shards that Brother Han had carefully arranged for him.
