The Peerless Servant

Chapter 18: Wear a vest



Looking at the fifty taels of silver, Qin Wushuang felt unreal. In the morning, he was still a poor man who was oppressed by others, but now he actually has a huge sum of fifty taels. It is really unpredictable.

Huo Chenan was saying goodbye to Wang Lao and others at this time.

"Huo kid, I plan to promote these two poems of yours in my family's clan school. I wonder if you can agree." Wang Lao asked.

Huo Chenan was moved. He knew that Wang Lao wanted to help him advertise. He could imagine how popular his wine business would be with the popularity of "How to relieve worries only Du Kang".

After thinking for a while, Huo Chenan said: "Of course, it's okay, but I have a request."

"Speak." Wang Lao waved his hand and didn't care what Huo Chenan would ask.

"Please sign the poem as Jiu Zhongxian." Huo Chenan said.

Huo Chenan had some concerns about using the name Jiuzhongxian instead of his real name.

First, the original owner of this body was originally a servant, with a low level of education and very little memory of poetry in this world. If he was installed one day, the Jiuzhongxian vest would be used later.

Second, Huo Chenan believed that poetry was stolen after all. Ah, how can it be called stealing for scholars? It's called borrowing. It's just borrowing without returning.

The most important thing is that Huo Chenan knows the truth that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. At present, making a fortune in silence is the right way.

As soon as Huo Chenan said this, it really shocked Mr. Wang.

You should know that the Dashun Dynasty was also a dynasty that valued literature over military affairs. Huo Chenan's two poems were not said to be able to walk sideways in the Dashun literary world, but they were definitely eternal quatrains.

And Huo Chenan was tantamount to rejecting the opportunity to become famous and immortal.

"Indifferent to fame and fortune" Please carve these four words on Huo Chenan's face. This is what Mr. Wang thought in his heart at the moment.

Such a talented young man is still so indifferent to fame and fortune. This makes Mr. Wang appreciate him more and more.

Leaving Qixia Mountain.

Qin Wushuang still feels unreal.

"Mr. Huo, this is the wine money given by Mr. Li." Qin Wushuang did not dare to take it for granted.

"You take it, buy some more wine and do our business." Huo Chenan said.

"But 40% of it is yours." Qin Wushuang hesitated.

"Just find an account book to record the income, and we will settle it together when the time comes."

Qin Wushuang nodded.

"There are a few things that need to be explained. First, we should take restaurants and brothels as the main target customers. Second, we must do a good job of anti-counterfeiting." Huo Chenan said.

"As for brothels, the mother of Hongxiu Pavilion has a good relationship with me. I can go to her. We will slowly promote it in other places. But what does this anti-counterfeiting mean?" Qin Wushuang asked.

"When our Du Kang wine becomes famous, do you think someone will use the name of Du Kang to sell inferior wine?" Huo Chenan asked.

"What should we do then?" Qin Wushuang figured out the reason and was extremely anxious.

"We need to make anti-counterfeiting marks." Huo Chenan took out the mandarin duck handkerchief he bought in the morning, pointed to the vivid mandarin ducks on it and said, "This requires the girl to work harder, embroider the Du Kang logo on the seal of the wine jar, and the seal must be disposable and cannot be used again once it is opened."

"Young Master is really smart." Qin Wushuang's eyes were full of stars after hearing this. She was completely convinced by Huo Chenan's wisdom and praised sincerely.

"Moreover, when our Du Kang wine becomes a household name, everyone can taste the authenticity with one bite, and you don't need to embroider any anti-counterfeiting marks anymore."

...

When Huo Chenan returned to the Su family, it was already dark.

He secretly came to the second lady's courtyard and secretly observed what the little girl was doing.

The little girl was kneeling in the main room, praying devoutly to the statue of Guanyin:

"Please bless my Su family, may the disaster turn into good fortune, may my sister recover soon, may brother Chenan live in peace, I, the believer Su Ruyi, wish to be a vegetarian and worship Buddha for the rest of my life..."

"Su Ruyi!" A shrill voice sounded, as if it was not in the human world.

"Is it Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Su Ruyi was shocked at first, then asked with great joy.

"It is me, I ask you, do you like Huo Chenan?"

Su Ruyi blushed when she heard this, and hummed softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"I can't hear you, which shows that you are not sincere." The shrill voice said again.

"I like brother Chenan..." Su Ruyi said hurriedly, fearing that she would offend Master Guanyin.

"How much do you like him?" Huo Chenan asked in his own voice.

The little girl was surprised and looked back, and the person she thought about day and night was standing behind her.

Wearing a green dress and a small hat, with a sly smile on his face.

"Brother Chen An..." The little girl was surprised at first, then blushed, and stood up and punched Huo Chen An.

"You are so bad, you actually teased me. Cough cough cough, cough cough cough." But after a few punches, Su Ruyi started coughing.

Huo Chenan hurriedly helped her sit down. Looking at the girl who had lost some weight, he could not help but complain: "Xier is really so mean. I didn't take good care of you when I was away."

As if she had heard Huo Chenan's complaint, Xier said from nowhere: "I can't help it. Since the Su family held a meeting that day, the young lady has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. She doesn't eat the medicinal food arranged by Brother Huo. Moreover, the young lady copies Buddhist scriptures until late every day. No matter how I persuade her, she won't stop."

Hearing this, Huo Chenan rubbed the young lady's head lovingly. He could understand the young lady's feelings. He said: "Silly, you are exhausting yourself like this. Your sister and I will be sad."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can bless my sister and Brother Chenan, I am willing to do anything."

Huo Chenan was moved and said quickly: "The affairs of the Su family have been resolved." He immediately told Su Ruyi about the waterwheel and the gift of 20,000 stones of grain by old man Li.

The little girl was overjoyed to hear this, and her eyes of admiration almost drowned Huo Chenan.

She immediately decided to fast for a month to fulfill her vow, which frightened Huo Chenan and made him complain: "Second Miss, you are weak to begin with, how can you bear to fast all the time."

Seeing Huo Chenan's distressed expression, the little girl smiled happily.

Huo Chenan then realized that the little girl was teasing him.

"Okay, you have learned bad things!" Huo Chenan said with emotion.

"Same, same, I learned it from you." The little girl also teased.

"By the way, brother Chenan, the day after tomorrow is Qingming Festival, don't forget to accompany me for an outing." Su Ruyi reminded.

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise." Huo Chenan took out the white mandarin duck handkerchief and gave it to the little girl.

The little girl couldn't let it go when she saw the vivid mandarin ducks on it.
