Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 281 Going to Zhuangzi for the New Year

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

Zhang Tingyu did have something to say when he called the teacher over today.

"The Chinese New Year is coming up in two days. Before the elder brother left, he specially told him that he hoped that the whole army would have a good New Year. I called you here today to discuss with you how to celebrate the New Year this year?"

This division commander climbed up from the bottom, but he knew very well what the soldiers under his hands were thinking.

"Master Zhang gives them more money so that they can send it back to their parents, wives and children. It is the best for them."

Zhang Tingyu thought for a moment and said, "Only pay?"

Is it not sincere enough?
This teacher can roughly guess what Zhang Tingyu is thinking.

"Don't worry, my lord, the salary is enough."

Besides, too many rewards is not a good thing.

Only when you don’t have it will you feel cherished. If you get too much, it’s not good. Who knows what they will do if they are paid too much?
After all, the quality of the army is also uneven, right?
Zhang Tingyu said: "Then pay the salary. Has there been a custom in the army before?"

"Yes, do you want to have a look?"

"Bring it here!"

The division commander brought over the account book of previous salaries, because this navy is a newly formed army this year, so there are only boxing ceremonies in the account book, and there is no annual ceremony. The division commander listed the payment accounts issued by the army in previous years.

Zhang Tingyu thought about it, but fortunately there is no shortage of silver now, so Zhang Tingyu asked people to add [-]% to the previous practice.

The division commander has no objection to this, because the base of the army is large, and ordinary soldiers make up the majority.

In addition, most of the new troops have left their hometowns, so an extra [-]% of the salary is also reasonable.

Zhang Tingyu arranged a few more things. After handling the military affairs, Zhang Tingyu was completely free. It's okay to be busy, but Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but think about someone when he was free.

He knew he shouldn't go on like this anymore, but he couldn't help it.

Then Zhang Tingyu asked someone to buy a Zhuangzi near Qiuwen Zhuangzi. Because he wanted it urgently, the price was [-]% higher than usual, but Zhang Tingyu didn't care about that.

"Master, are you really going to celebrate the New Year in the newly bought Zhuangzi?"

Zhang Tingyu: "Yes."

Zhang Tingyu's mind is relatively firm at the same age, but after all, he is young and rarely encounters setbacks. He has never had a special feeling for a woman for more than ten years. Firmness can't stand the pain of lovesickness.

Zhang Tingyu was extremely contradictory, but when he thought of spending the New Year in Zhuangzi near Qiu Wen, he felt extremely happy.

Really responded to a word, pain and happiness.

The boy was not happy when he heard this, as a slave, he naturally wouldn't dislike Qiu Wen, a business lady.

The reason why he was unhappy was that if the young master really cared about Miss Qiu, based on what he knew about the young master, he might marry Miss Qiu.

And Miss Qiu's identity is an obstacle, Madam will definitely not agree, when the time comes, there will be no peace between the young master and his wife, the young master will naturally not be happy, if the young master is unhappy, naturally the slaves around him, the young master, will not be happy either.

Zhang Tingyu took his servants to Zhuangzi near Qiuwen to celebrate the new year.

Let's talk about where Qiu Wen is.

Luoxue smiled and said to Qiu Wen: "Miss, I just heard about something. Isn't there another similar Zhuangzi near our Zhuangzi? The Zhuangzi was changed hands two days ago, and the Zhuangzi is actually worthless. I don't know if it is. An outsider spent [-]% more money to buy that Zhuangzi, do you think this person was cheated?"

Zhang Tingyu still doesn't know that he is already a "fool" in front of his sweetheart's maid.

Qiu Wen didn't care about these things: "Maybe there is some reason!"

After talking about this, Qiu Wen said: "This year is the first year we have come out to live, and the silver reward will be given [-]% more according to Qiu's practice."

She has indeed made a lot of money this year, and she is not a miser. She eats meat herself, but the people below must eat soup.

Luoxue is also happy, after all, she has a role too, isn't she? In previous years, Qiu Wen was not taken seriously in the mansion, and even those who brought her were not taken seriously. Not to mention, as the maidservant next to the young lady, it would be better to get a silver reward. There are many third-class maids around the second lady.

Luo Xue smiled happily and said, "Thank you, miss."

It was rare for Qiu Wen to be in a good mood, so she said, "Let's go for a walk."

Luoxue looked at the weather outside, not to mention how bad it was, but it was winter and it was a bit cold!Miss is already a little weak, what should I do if I get wind.

"Miss, it's cold outside, why don't you go out until the weather warms up!"

Qiu Wen felt that she was not that delicate. Besides, she had seen enough of this Zhuangzi, and always wanted to see something new.

Luoxue couldn't persuade her, so she had to wrap Qiu Wen tightly before letting her go out.

Clothes in ancient times were all made of cotton. If they wanted to keep warm, they would naturally look thicker. Luoxue was afraid that Qiu Wen would be cold, so Qiu Wen would only look thicker.

Qiu Wen could refuse, but Luo Xue had good intentions after all, she didn't want to refuse, so she wrapped herself into a ball and went out.

Zhang Tingyu just arrived at this time, and when Qiu Wen went out, she happened to see Zhang Tingyu passing by, but Zhang Tingyu was sitting in the carriage, so she didn't see it, but his servant did.

Seeing it, Gui saw it, but he was a little confused about whether to tell the young master.

The boy kept struggling until he got to the place where he couldn't speak.

Zhang Tingyu got out of the carriage, saw the boy's appearance, and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"Back to your son, the slave just saw Miss Qiu and her maid."

Zhang Tingyu asked anxiously, "When?"

"Just now, the servant saw Miss Qiu coming out of the village. The servant saw our carriage passing by."

Zhang Tingyu looked at him and said, "Send someone to see where they are going."

The boy knew it would happen.

Although he also knows that Miss Qiu is very beautiful, plus she can earn a lot of money, such a woman is indeed very attractive, but does the young master care a little too much about her appearance?

"Yes, my servant will send someone to check it out."

Zhang Tingyu got out of the carriage and put on his cloak. He didn't intend to go in, but ordered at the gate of Zhuangzi: "Put the things in place."

Then go back the way you came.

Although I don't know where Qiu Wen is, but after all, this road is right.

The two girls, Qiu Wen and Luo Xue, didn't walk fast at all, and Qiu Wen just wanted to walk casually, so the pace was relatively slow, and the servant found their footprints after a while.

When Zhang Tingyu got the news, he wanted to go there, but stopped halfway.

"Young master, why don't you leave?"

The boy was a little strange, obviously just now the son looked like he wanted to fly to Miss Qiu's side, why did he stop suddenly.

"Let's go back." Zhang Tingyu said with a sigh.

"Why? Miss Qiu is probably in front."

Zhang Tingyu also wanted to see Qiu Wen, but the timing was wrong, the name was wrong, and it was not good for Qiu Wen after all. Zhang Tingyu didn't want to cause trouble for Qiu Wen because of his own selfishness.

Just now, his mind was hot, but it was because he didn't think carefully.

"Go back, there will be opportunities in the future."

Above board opportunity.

Besides, when she suddenly appeared in front of Qiu Wen, Zhang Tingyu knew that she couldn't find a suitable reason. Since Qiu Wen was able to write so many scripts, although the stories in the scripts were not true, she must be more refined about human relationships. Ordinary reasons probably weren't enough to convince her.

"Yes, son."

Seeing Zhang Tingyu like this, the boy figured out the cause and effect. It was because he figured it out that he became more worried. It seems that he underestimated Miss Qiu's position in the young master's heart!

After all, a man is still a man who can't help himself. At this time, he can still think of these things and can't help but step forward. It can be seen that Miss Qiu holds a lot of weight in the young master's heart.

Zhang Tingyu went back feeling lonely.
