Silly Scholar's Wife

Xiao Changqing arrived as promised to fetch a hundred birds and thousands of cranes.

He also had other purposes today, he paid the money readily, arranged for his followers to go ahead, and stayed behind to greet Zhao Huan.

"Zhao Dong's family has such a skill at such a young age, who did he learn from?" He asked with a smile, as if he didn't intend to gossip.

How could Zhao Huan be fooled by him, from the moment Xiao Changqing left, he knew he had other intentions, and said with a slight smile: "It's just a hobby, I'm thinking about it for myself."

"..." Xiao Changqing's eyes were fixed: How could he believe that he could figure out such a superb carving technique by himself.But Zhao Huan's new idea, if someone taught it, it would be impossible to keep it until now.

"The Zhaodong family's youth can be amazing, and people are amazed." Xiao Changqing couldn't figure it out, so he directly entered the topic, "Xiao valued Zhao Dong's family's craftsmanship, and I don't know if he can be a craftsman. He must pay a lot of money to hire him."

"Just start a small business, I don't have big ambitions." Zhao Huan said with a smile, he just thought of this, but it's a pity that he didn't have the willingness to work for others, especially in this ancient time, without the many freedoms of modern times.

"I heard that Mr. Zhao's family came from Rongdu. I think I should have heard of the Hongxiang caravan. Xiao is in charge of the caravan." After he finished speaking, he added, "The Hongxiang restaurant in the town is the same owner as our caravan. , considered a family."

He inquired about Mu Chenxi and the others, and naturally knew that Zhao Huan was not from this place, so he brought out the name of the Rongdu caravan. Everyone knew about their caravan, and Hongxiang Restaurant was opened all over Darong.

With such a big name, he didn't believe that Zhao Huan wouldn't be tempted.Even if he is from Rongdu, he is from a small family, otherwise how could he come to this small place to be a husband and wife.

Zhao Huan glanced at him, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.The moment he bowed his head, his eyes flickered, if so, he couldn't agree more.

Not to mention that he had no intention of doing this, the bigger Xiao Changqing's background was, the more he wanted to stay away.Rongdu is not a place where everyone can get along, there must be some forces behind it, or those powerful families are directly under the jurisdiction.

Zhao Huan knew about his own affairs, so he couldn't get in touch with such people or things.If he participated in it, it must be a disaster rather than a blessing, so how could he be deeply involved in it.

Thinking about this clearly, he looked up at Xiao Changqing, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm still young, and my craftsmanship is not worth mentioning. It's just a small business to support my family. How dare I dream of being a craftsman?" division."

"Huh?" Xiao Changqing raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly Zhao Huan still refused, "Zhao Dong's family should think clearly, your skills are certainly good, but there are so many talents in Darong, it is impossible to rely on yourself to make the list in one fell swoop. Even those who have some reputation may not have a bright future, let alone this small place."

"Besides, apart from some craftsmen's families, how many talented people are suffering so hard that they can't make it to the top. Does Zhao Dong's family know why?"

Xiao Changqing further clarified his words, saying: "Of course Xiao is for profit, but he also cherishes talent. I don't want Zhao Dong's family to encounter disasters or be suppressed in the future. Since he came from Rongdu, he can understand what I mean."

Zhao Huan chuckled a few times, shook his head and stood up and looked out the window. From these few words, he could tell that Xiao Changqing had no malice.The meaning of wooing is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is exactly what he said.

Everything in this ancient time was controlled by the powerful family, how could they allow the emergence of competitors with them.If the identity or the forces behind them cannot compete with them, they will either be suppressed or be destroyed, and some people will even be controlled and turned into slaves and servants without seeing the sun.

But these don't apply to him, he has reliance and is not afraid of them.Thinking about it now, he was secretly startled, if there was no meeting at Linli Rongdu, he would also be uneasy at this moment.

As for whether he would compromise and go against his will, he didn't want to think about it.Those illusory things are not worth wasting your mind, he has always looked forward and never moved forward.

"Thank you, Manager Xiao." Zhao Huan turned around and smiled at him, his attitude was very sincere, "I just want to live here, I don't have much ambition, otherwise I wouldn't come here from Rongdu, if I want to invest in which one, I might not wait Until I got acquainted with Guanshi Xiao."

"That's it, that's it."

Xiao Changqing knew that he was telling the truth, and understood that he had made up his mind, so he didn't force it anymore, so he got up and said, "In that case, Xiao is leaving."

He paused for a while, with a relaxed expression on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "The craftsmanship is really good. If you want to leave a message for the craftsman in the future, you can go to Hongxiang Restaurant, or if you have any difficulties, someone Xiao will help."

"Thank you." The smile on Zhao Huan's face gradually deepened, and his eyes were sincere and grateful. Whatever you need, come get it.”

"Yeah." Xiao Changqing showed a smile, this is a grateful child, as expected of his intention to help, "Xiao will discuss with the master, if it is feasible, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Zhao Huan's thoughts coincided with his at the moment, because Xiao Changqing was not aggressive, nor did he intend to threaten, threaten, force, or force, and there was a little good feeling in his heart.

After sending Xiao Changqing away, Zhao Huan wanted to take a rest. He was busy with work recently and felt a little tired. If he never left his hand with the knife every day, what was the point of earning that money.

"Brother-in-law, you are really amazing!" Mu Chenxing exclaimed immediately when he saw Zhao Huan, and stared at him with shining eyes, "1000 taels, 1000 taels! What's so special about just a few birds? Sell ​​the silver."

As soon as Zhao Huan appeared in the shop, he accepted everyone's admiration. Mu Chenyu looked at his hand and said, "This hand is white and beautiful. How can it make money?"

"Go, go." Mu Xinyue pushed him away, and gave him a displeased look, "Anything is worth more than you, do you know how to talk?"

"Hey, I'm your cousin, can I have a better attitude." Mu Chenyu stared at his cousin, "And which one of us can't talk, do you have any more offensive words than this? "

Seeing them laughing and laughing, Zhao Huan's mood gradually eased. He was too busy these days, concentrating on carving, so that he even rushed to eat. He always felt as if he had neglected something.

"Daughter-in-law, are you not busy?"

Before Zhao Huan realized what he had overlooked, he saw Mu Chenxi coming back from the outside, accompanied by a boy who was about his age.

Seeing that Zhao Huan has been busy these days, Mu Chenxi didn't bother him. He went outside to play when he had nothing to do. Seeing him sitting in the shop today, he didn't look like he was in a hurry a few days ago.

"Daughter-in-law, do you have time?" He happily pulled Zhao Huan, his eyes full of dependence, "I'll introduce you to a friend, look at the things he brought us, it's a big basket!"

"Well, I'm not busy anymore." Zhao Huan saw that he was smiling, and he was standing next to him with an intimacy, so he realized what he had overlooked. "Today, I will take a day off and entertain friends with you."

"No, no trouble." Seeing Zhao Huan looking over, Zhang Cheng stood up straight in embarrassment, not knowing where to place his hands, "They are all worthless things, as long as you don't dislike them, I have to say goodbye beforehand." .”

Dressed in coarse linen with a few inconspicuous patches, Zhou Zheng had clear eyes, and Zhao Huan looked at him secretly, trying not to make the other party feel cramped.

He saw the inferiority complex hidden in the other party, and opened his lips with a gentle smile, which made people feel his intimacy, "You're welcome, it's rare for Chen Xi to invite someone to be a guest at home, so why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving."

"That's right, Brother Zhang, you're welcome." Mu Chenxi strongly invited, looking at Zhao Huan with soft eyes and clear eyes, "My daughter-in-law is gentle and easy to get along with, and she is also generous and likes me to make friends. You don't have to be so restrained."

"Ha ha."

Mu Chenxing and Mu Chenyu both smiled on their faces, but they wanted to spray Mu Chenxi's face in their hearts, and said to themselves: You praise your daughter-in-law like a flower, don't you know that the appearance is gentle but the inside is not to be underestimated? watch for.

They don't know why, but they can always feel a slight alienation from Zhao Huan's gentleness and approachability.The calm and waveless pupils seem to be able to see through people at a glance, making people have nothing to hide and dare not hide anything, and their hearts are full of fear unconsciously.
