Twin Brocade

Chapter 914 Iron Pillar
After all, Fang's family is the upstart of the imperial court, and Fang Shuyu is Zhan Shi in Prince Qi's residence.And Princess Zhaoyang is the direct sister of King Qi.

It's normal for Fang Jinshu to know more things that others don't.

Since she said so, Mrs. Han will prepare for this day.There are a lot of goods in this batch, even for today's Guangying Merchant Co., it is a huge expense, and there is no room for loss.

Seeing that the end of the month is getting closer, Guangying Merchandise is getting busier.

Mrs. Han was at the center of the arrangement, and the shopkeeper Ji Da discussed and finalized various details with the people from Hefenghao.This business is related to Fang Jinshu and Quan Moxian at the same time, Yang Liu came back to report from time to time.

By late March, the weather has completely warmed up.

The tender yellow winter jasmine has already bloomed for a round, and the apricot, pear, and plum blossoms are blooming one after another.The spring is bright and beautiful, and in the fragrant city of Luoyang, women's spring shirts are more fresh and tender.

Finally bid farewell to the gloomy and dreary winter day, where flowers are blooming and willows are green, competing for splendor.

Thin silk fans, pink head flowers, beautiful materials such as Qiaoluo yarn, solid yarn, smoked yarn, snow silk, soft silk, etc., the latest materials and patterns this spring, are all worn by women. It reached their heads and held it in their hands.

On such a spring day, the day when Princess Zhaoyang wants to get married with Khitan has finally been settled.

Getting married was originally not something to be happy about.That means that the national strength is insufficient, it means being spied on by other countries, and it means begging for perfection.

But Empress Cao didn't want Princess Zhaoyang to suffer this grievance and marry in humiliation.

She handled this marriage as if a normal princess was getting married, and it was glorious.

Princess Zhaoyang's dowry is staggeringly rich.In order not to let his daughter be wronged and suffer in Khitan, he prepared a dozen boxes of clothing materials alone.

The clothes of the four seasons, even if Princess Zhaoyang wears new clothes every day, she will have to wear them for several years.

All the imperial merchants are always waiting for orders from the palace.According to the request of Empress Cao, the corresponding goods were purchased.For all this, Emperor Qinglong did not stop Empress Cao's behavior because he felt ashamed.

The palace was jubilantly handling Princess Zhaoyang's marriage, and the whole Luoyang city was also extremely happy.

In such an atmosphere, Haifeng brought a boy as strong as a calf into Quan's house through the side door.

"Grandma, my son told me to bring it for you to have a look first." Haifeng said: "If you think it is suitable, then accept it."

Before entering the mansion, the little boy was told by Haifeng that he knew that the celestial master sitting in front of him decided whether he would stay or not.

He didn't dare to look Fang Jinshu in the eye, he knelt on the ground in a proper manner, kowtowed to the ground and said, "I've seen Grandma."

"Don't be nervous." Fang Jinshu asked gently, "How old are you and what's your name?"

"Back to grandma, my name is Tie Zhu, and I'm eight years old."

"You look up. Tell me, why do you want to be a book boy?"

Tie Zhu raised his head. He grew up in the countryside with rough skin, round eyes and a lot of energy.At this moment, his little face was flushed red, and he stammered: "Mother, I gave birth to a younger brother, and I'm afraid I won't be able to support him..."

He told the truth, but he was afraid of being rejected by Fang Jinshu.

Before leaving, his family asked him to say that he came to serve the young master because he wanted to.

But when the matter came to an end, he realized that he was really not the material to lie, so he told the truth.

Looking at him, a smile appeared on the corner of Haifeng's mouth.

This child was chosen because he was sincere.

"Grandma, can you accept me?" Tie Zhu was afraid that what he said just now would offend the master, so he quickly added: "I, I can do a lot of work! I can chop firewood, carry water, and cook!"

This child is having a hard time at home.

"What's your ranking?" Fang Jinshu asked.

Tie Zhu was taken aback, and said shyly, "I'm the boss."

No wonder, even though he is still young, he is already half of the family's labor force.

"Show me your hands." Fang Jinshu ordered.

Tie Zhu froze again, wiped his hands over and over again, and then cautiously stretched them out in front of Fang Jinshu.It was too clean here, and he felt that his body was too dirty, and he was afraid of being defiled.

His hands looked like the hands of a peasant boy.

There are calluses from holding a hatchet, small wounds from accidental injuries, and rough palms.Before entering the mansion, the family must have bathed him carefully, but there was still black mud from long-term labor under his nails.

Feeling Fang Jinshu's gaze, Tie Zhu wanted to withdraw his hand uncomfortably.

He has never felt the black mud under his nails so glaring at this moment.

"Son, if you are a book boy, you don't need to chop firewood and boil water." Fang Jinshu said.

Tie Zhu panicked, he only knew this, but the master said he didn't need it, so what should he do?As the boss, he couldn't understand the situation in his own family very well.

If you can't sell yourself for money today, the family's surplus food can only last for two days at most.Seeing that it was spring plowing, Dad didn't even have the money to buy seeds.

So what should we do this year?
What about A Niang's newborn brother?
He was flustered, and hurriedly begged: "Grandma, I can do anything! No, I can learn."

"Then what else do you want besides what you said?" Fang Jinshu asked, "Do you know what it takes to be a book boy?"

"I... I have great strength!" Speaking of this, Tie Zhu suddenly gained confidence, and said, "I can protect the young master! It's just..."

"Just what?"

Tie Zhu's voice suddenly weakened, and said: "It's just... I eat too much, and Auntie often says that she can't afford me."

Seeing how strong he is, one knows that the family did not treat him badly.As a mother, all complaints are complaints, but she has to find ways to feed her children.

If it weren't for the fact that the family really had no choice, his parents would not be willing to sell Tie Zhu.

He told the truth and glanced at Fang Jinshu quietly.Seeing that she didn't dislike him because he ate too much, Tie Zhu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Jinshu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "If you want to be a book boy, you have to grow up with the young master."

"You have to obey everything he says. If someone wants to bully him, you have to protect him no matter whether you can beat him or not. Your life will be his from now on."

"If he dies, you won't be able to live alone. Can you do it?" Fang Jinshu looked into Tie Zhu's eyes and asked calmly.

"Yes!" Tie Zhu responded loudly.

His parents told him that since he came to the Quan family, he would be a servant of the Quan family and would work for his master.

In his heart, since the master bought him, gave the family money to continue living, and gave his younger brother a chance to live, his life naturally belonged to the master.
