Chapter 12 The Dapeng Rising With The Wind One Day
After returning to the yard, Jia Huan started to write the The Legend of the Condor Heroes again. After several days, he finally wrote 120,000 words.
He had just divided the 90,000-word manuscript and put it in, and then he heard Xiao Jixiang come in and say that Zhao Guoji has something to do to find him.
Since it was a back house, Zhao Guoji was not like those young servants and could not come in. So after Jia Huan sorted out his clothes, he walked out with the manuscript and asked Xiao Jixiang to look at the study, so that he would not let someone come in to take the fish in troubled waters and take the things out.
Not long after, at the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, in addition to Zhao Guoji, there was also a servant sent by Manager Chen.
"Third Master!" The two saluted.
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Go to the teahouse over there, find a private room, let's have a good chat!"
The three of them came to a teahouse and asked the waiter to find a private room. After sitting down, the servant sent by the shopkeeper Chen said happily: "The third master is very happy. Once the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was sold, more than 1,000 copies were sold in Shenjing that day, and thousands of copies were sold these days.
Third Master is a talented man. Our shopkeeper is very happy and asked the young master to thank him in person.
In addition, the shopkeeper asked, have the second volume of the third master finished writing? Now that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very popular, the shopkeeper wants to strike while the iron is hot.
Of course, if the third master has not finished the second volume, he can wait two days before giving it to him."
Hearing this, Jia Huan nodded with a smile and said, "Is it really that hot?"
"The Third Master may not know that in the entire Shenjing, almost all the literati and literati masters, each of whom had a book on the The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The streets and alleys, including brothel teahouses, were discussing the The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
If you hadn't explained to the shopkeeper, your true identity could not be revealed, I guess there would have been a crowd in front of the Jia Mansion.
Now I just ask someone, and I want to know who Mr. Jin who can write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
There are even people who are flirting with one hundred taels of silver just to know Mr. Jin’s true identity!”
The servant said a lot, looking very excited.
Jia Huan smiled and said, "It's best to maintain a sense of mystery, and it can become more and more magical as it spreads. This will make a great use of your sales. Let me tell you the shopkeeper that once my identity is exposed, our cooperation will end here.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes means there are three at the lowest level.”
"The third master is so serious. The shopkeeper has already ordered me to wait. I will not disclose the third master's identity!" the servant said solemnly.
"Well, it's not bad. Have tea, you'll take this back later, and remember to send my manuscript back." Jia Huan nodded and smiled, very satisfied with Manager Chen's approach.
The servant was very happy when he heard this. He had guessed that the second part had been written.
So he stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you, the third master, for your reception. Xiao is ready to go back now. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Xiao will only contact the third master."
After thinking about it, Jia Huan nodded and said, "It's good that you can bring this manuscript with you and congratulate you on my behalf."
"Yes, Master San stays!"
The servant took the manuscript and walked out quickly.
After only Zhao Guoji was left, the two chatted about family matters for a long time and asked Zhao Guoji where the marriage was going?
No one doesn't like having a family. Zhao Guoji said excitedly: "Third Master, I have found a woman in my early 20s and spent 80 taels of silver. He is the daughter of a scholar in the east of the city.
Because he was going to prepare for the imperial examination, his family had no source of income, and his wife had passed away for several years. This eighty taels of silver could solve his current urgent needs, so this scholar betrothed my daughter to me!"
There are five types of people who do not marry in this era, and "the children who do not take the children of a rebellious family" means that women who do not marry in a rebellious family;
"Not taking a chaotic family" - parents are not decent in their life style, have scandals, have a corruption in their lives, and will not marry them;
"If there is a prisoner in the world, you will not take it" - those who have been punished by ancestors or parents (who have committed crimes in their families) will not marry them;
"If you have evil diseases in the world, you will not get it." I also see "vicious diseases". If you have evil diseases in your family, you will not marry anyone with disabilities;
"If you are the eldest daughter of a lost wife and the eldest son is not taken away" - If you are the eldest daughter of your family and your mother dies before marriage, you will not be able to get married.
And this family happened to be the first-born wife who was lost, otherwise even if the family was in trouble, it would be impossible for the daughter of the scholar family to marry someone with the status of Zhao Guoji even if there were ten taels of silver as a bride price.
"Don't be afraid, don't marry five or seven, don't care. As long as the person is good, you can have a good wife in the family, and your husband will not suffer any disaster.
It’s great. Take the time to give birth to a few children in two years. There are three unfilial things. If you don’t have a descendant, it’s also considered that you have fulfilled your filial piety for yourself.
In addition, I have something to discuss with you!" Jia Huan said calmly.
"San Master, you are the one who is the one who is the one who is able to do things for the Third Master, and you are already a slave... it is my blessing!" Zhao Guoji said honestly.
It can be seen that he is now very satisfied.
Jia Huan nodded and said calmly: "I have already obtained your contract for sale, but I can't give it to you for the time being.
It’s not because of anything else, but because I want to reuse you. If you don’t want to do things for me, I will give it back to you. It’s good that you live your own life by yourself, and I will also help you with your life and will not let you live by yourself.
But if you want to follow me to do things, I can't give you your contract to sell your body, because the next thing to you is very, very important. Once something happens to you, it will be difficult for me to deal with it.
You are my uncle. I should have been filial to you, but this era makes me feel very unsafe. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Zhao Guoji suddenly got up, knelt on the ground quickly, kowtowed three times hard, tears filled his eyes. He said solemnly: "It's just that the contract is left in the hands of the Third Master. Being able to play with the Third Master is already a blessing for several generations of my slave.
Now that the Third Master wants to reuse my Zhao Guoji, he naturally has to keep his hands on it.
Moreover, Zhao Guoji is already very grateful for the Third Master's ability to treat each other honestly.
Third Master, Zhao Guoji swears here that if there is any betrayal of the Third Master, I, Zhao Guoji, will be willing to fight five thunders in the sky and die without a complete body.
The descendants born, men are slaves for generations, and women are prostitutes for generations."
When Jia Huan heard his swearing, he quickly pulled him up and said solemnly: "My uncle is so serious, why has he reached this point?
Get up quickly, there is no need to do so. I believe you will not let me down.
If one day I, Jia Huan, can control everything, I will definitely let you enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Zhao Guoji didn't understand what a scholar died for his confidant, but he could feel that Jia Huan's words were sincere. At this moment, he wished he could repay him with death.
After the two sat down, Jia Huan took out all the 4,800 taels of silver notes, placed them on the table, and smiled and said, "Okay, from today on, our career will begin.
Here are 4,800 taels of silver notes. You can use them to set up a winery, buy a piece of land in the suburbs, hire some experienced winemakers to set up the shelves first.
In the future, you no longer have to work in the Jia Mansion, just be responsible for the winery.
Apart from that, you must not let people know your and my true identities, do you understand?”
"I understand, don't worry, Third Master, although I have nothing to do, but the dragon has a dragon's way and the rat has a rat's way. I have been in Shenjing for so many years, and it's not a waste of time." Zhao Guoji put away the silver bill and smiled confidently.
