Chapter 48 Overcoming Psychological Barriers
Rong Zhuo nodded and signaled to Deputy Wang, "Master, the land distribution system is going smoothly, but some farmers are still worried that their land will be taken away and that their work is in vain. I have agreed with the former prefect that the government will prepare a written agreement and the former prefect will sign it personally, informing the farmers that although it is currently in the trial stage, the crops they grow will still belong to them."
Rong Zhuo, "This method is feasible. Thank you for your hard work." He changed his words and said, "But today I have something to tell you, Wang Jian."
After hearing this, Wang Jian looked at Deputy Wang and said, "Master, please give your orders."
Rong Zhuo waved his hand to signal them to sit down.
Yin Ren said, "The master has verified the evidence that Jiang Zuo Xiao Yuan impersonated you. The Xiao family is the in-law of the current Second Prince's wife, and Xiao Yuan is the Second Prince's wife's cousin. Xiao Yuan first pressured the official who reviewed your article to transfer your article and rewrite it after your article was included."
"The official didn't want to be coerced by him, but he had no choice because his son lost 200,000 silver coins in a prostitute's house. How could a low-level clerk like him have so much money? When Xiao Yuan heard this, he paid the money out of his own pocket. Naturally, your article is his."
Wang Jian's eyes filled with tears after hearing this, and he was furious. "Master, this playboy is just relying on the talents in his family to do this. Today he replaced my clerk, and one day, I'm afraid he will replace the clerk of the Jinshi."
Rong Zhuo, "This is what I want to tell you today. The Xiao family in Jiangzuo has too deep a foundation. You can't move them with just your essay. I think Xiao Yuan will definitely make another move in the Spring Examination. When that happens, it will be a good time to get rid of the Xiao family."
Wang Jian suppressed his anger and said, "Master, rest assured, I will not act rashly and alert the enemy."
Rong Zhuo, "That's good. You will go to Jiangdong from now on, and Mr. Duan Wenxiu will arrange everything for you. Jiangdong is originally my fiefdom, and the government will obey Mr. Duan's orders. I hope that the breeding and land distribution system in Jiangdong will be successful in one fell swoop, and Huzhou's japonica rice will benefit the people in three years. When the time comes, I will plead for you."
Vice President Wang and Wang Jian, "We will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Rong Zhuo nodded, and after talking about some other matters, he asked Fei Jian to lead them to Jiangdong.
Chu Sishui watched his arrangements quietly from the side. Rong Zhuo, dressed in a blue cloth shirt, exuded the unique dignity of the royal family. The warm morning sunshine was not too hot at this moment, but instead cast a layer of golden light on him.
His already long eyelashes drooped, adding a touch of youthfulness to his handsome face.
Chu Sishui was stunned. She had always wondered why a grown man could be so handsome and have eyelashes longer than hers.
Rong Zhuo noticed her gaze and pushed the wheelchair to her side. "What's wrong? You're in a daze so early in the morning."
Chu Sishui said, "I'm not just sighing at your good looks, I just got a great bargain."
Rong Zhuo, "Stop talking nonsense. A good-looking man is not something to be praised."
Yes, the aesthetic taste of this world still favors masculine men. Even King Jing, who looks like a monster and cannot be saved, is not the best candidate for the girls.
Rong Zhuo saw that she was in a daze again, "Didn't you say that your newly bought store would open today? Why aren't you leaving now?"
Chu Sishui got excited when talking about this, "I almost forgot, Luhe, tell everyone. There is a happy event today, so there is no need to prepare meals, let's all go to Tianyuan Pavilion to eat."
"yes."
After saying that, he looked at Rong Zhuo again and said, "I have already informed the owner of Tianyuan Pavilion and he has reserved a private room for us. When we go there, we will go in through the side door so that no one will notice you."
Tianyuan Pavilion is located in the center of Xiaosheng Farm, which is also the center of the entire city and prefecture, and is extremely prosperous. Thinking that Rong Zhuo might not be willing given the large crowd, Chu Sishui explained.
Rong Zhuo took her hand and said, "I did have some resistance before, but now I am not so resistant. Just go on as normal. Didn't you also say that country people don't really care about others?"
Seeing that he had no objection, Chu Sishui had no reason to disagree. "Then it's settled. I have to go shopping later, so you can't cheat. Do you remember the note I asked you to write last time? We were so busy later that I almost forgot about it. I've already thought of the content. It's nothing more than you have to go shopping with me three times a month, go out to play with me three times, and do things I like with me three times. If you disobey, you will be deducted from the amount for this month. I've also thought of the title: Guarantee. Just sign it when you go back in the evening."
Rong Zhuo said, "I have never heard of such a document. It means that whatever you say is true. How can it be enforced? I can do the rest, but I will not agree to any conditions that are against your will."
Chu Sishui said, "This is an unfair clause. You have no right to say no. It's settled. I will supervise you signing tonight. Don't cheat."
"Today is the first shopping trip of this month. Please behave well and say a few words. There were originally some assessment conditions, but I am afraid that you cannot adapt to them. I will add more later."
Rong Zhuo, "...Can a signed document be changed?"
Chu Sishui, "I've already told you that this is an unfair clause. I just changed my mind. I still have to take the test today. You can push your wheelchair to the vendor and buy a few things for me later. The details are: 1. There must be a conversation between the characters. If the vendor talks to you, you can't just turn around and give him money and leave; 2. If passersby look at you, you can't be indifferent, you have to look back normally."
Rong Zhuo, "..."
The opening of a new store is nothing more than a ribbon-cutting and new activities. When Cui Pei was explaining the origin and preferential activities of Siqin Noodle Shop and Xinglin Pharmacy again, Chu Sishui had already brought Rong Zhuo, who had just finished his meal, to Heyuan Street.
Today, because the store was open, there were a lot of people, and there were all kinds of small vendors coming and going. She looked for a long time and saw a vendor's handicrafts. "Husband, please buy me that dancing doll. Remember to pick another gift for me."
Rong Zhuo set off with an unwilling look on his face, pushing his wheelchair along the way. Groups of men and women cast admiring glances at him. He was about to refuse coldly, but when he remembered Chu Sishui's words, he had to pull up the corners of his mouth.
In the eyes of passers-by, this is a love-struck man who is disabled but forces himself to smile in order to please his wife.
Rong Zhuo ignored the girls' tearful glances and picked up the dancing doll to take a look. It should have come from the West and was indeed exquisite.
Just as he was about to take money out of his sleeve, he remembered Chu Sishui's words and asked, "How much? Can it be cheaper? How long can this be guaranteed? How can I repair it if it breaks?"
The vendor couldn't answer so many questions at once, so he explained slowly.
Rong Zhuo was indeed nervous at first, but now he realized that the vendor only regarded him as a normal person who wanted to please his wife, so he relaxed and said, "Pack up the dolls next to it for me."
The vendor said, "Okay, sir, you have a good eye. These dolls are a pair, a girl dancing and a boy playing music. However, they are imported from the West, and many people don't know what the instrument is called. I see that the young master is handsome, and the lady is also refreshing and pleasant, with outstanding demeanor. They are a perfect match for this pair of dolls. Just give me two taels of silver."
