Xiao Huadong was anxious, and Miss Ren was even more anxious.
She actually likes Xiao Huadong's music very much, otherwise she wouldn't have come out to play it herself.
Although her hands were playing at this time, her heart flew to Xiao Huadong.
Fortunately, her skills were good, and even so, she didn't panic at all.
But if Xiao Huadong disagrees, she will lose face and even want to die.
She was nervous, and nothing would get better if she let it go.
Although Ren Qi appeared calm on the outside, which was the result of his aging, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart.
Now the two have met, and he has also taken the initiative to ask where to put his face as the shopkeeper if the other party does not agree.
The reason why he introduced his niece to Xiao Huadong was inseparable from Liu Quan's recommendation letter.
Although Liu Quan introduced Jiang Zheng, Pu Yi, and Xiao Huadong in his letter, the one he recommended most was Xiao Huadong.
He believes that although Xiao Huadong is the youngest, he is very smart, likes to use his brain, has grassroots experience, and is good at promoting people, so he can look forward to his future.
He and Liu Quan were good friends, so when he heard Liu Quan recommending Xiao Huadong, he was naturally interested.
His two eldest daughters are either married or already married, and the youngest daughter is less than ten years old.
After much deliberation, only the niece who is the manager of this restaurant is suitable.
When he saw Xiao Huadong's gaze, he smoothed his beard and said lightly: "Be knowledgeable and sensible, and respect your elders."
Now that Miss Ren has not been betrothed, she naturally has no parents-in-law, only elders.
Seeing this, Pu Yi looked at Xiao Huadong with jealous eyes.
His wife did nothing but weave and do housework, and she didn't like to talk too much, which made him feel that life didn't have much fun.
The reason why he wanted to take a concubine was because his wife was too traditional and her appearance was only above average.
If he was allowed to fall in love with him, he would definitely divorce the yellow-faced woman at home and marry this young lady.
It's a pity that his colleagues who let him take a fancy to him did not take a fancy to him.
Now when Xiao Huadong meets this little lady, she is not only well-educated and filial to her elders, but she can also play. Isn't that his lifelong pursuit?
But he never expected that Xiao Huadong's perspective was somewhat different from his. Instead, Xiao Huadong felt that Pu Yi's wife was his ideal wife.
Although I don’t know anything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am better at tradition and taking care of the housework.
And although the little lady in front of her knows how to play, she may not be able to take care of the housework.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huadong couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ren, and sure enough, her fingers were not touched by the spring water.
Seeing the opponent's fingers, Xiao Huadong felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but look towards Pu Yi.
Pu Yi is four or five years older than Xiao Huadong. The two are colleagues and have always had a good relationship. Xiao Huadong basically regards Pu Yi as his brother.
Pu Yi looked at Xiao Huadong and thought he agreed.
"Uncle Ren, I have just agreed on behalf of my dear brother." He saluted Ren Qi solemnly and said to Ren Qi.
Hearing this, Xiao Huadong couldn't help but became anxious and wanted to stop him.
But he didn't expect that Pu Yi not only agreed on his behalf, but also took off his only jade pendant from his clothes and handed it directly to Ren Qi.
Let him accept the jade pendant and feel happy.
He looked at Xiao Huadong and Miss Ren and couldn't help but laugh: "A talented man and a beautiful woman make a match made in heaven. Haha, haha."
Hearing this, Miss Ren could no longer hold back her shyness.
He secretly took a look at Xiao Huadong, put down the piano in his hand, covered his face and ran to her boudoir.
"Two good nephews have a drink slowly, I still have something to do." Ren Qi saw that the two of them had accomplished their business, returned the favor and left.
Before leaving, he took out two pick-up cards from his arms, handed them to the two of them and said, "I heard that you are going to Tibet. Zhaojiazhuang will give you 50 pick-up cards. I asked me to give them to you."
After saying that, Ren Qi also left.
There were too many things going on in the restaurant. If it weren't for his niece, he might not have time to drink with the two of them.
Xiao Huadong and the two couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this. Zhaojiazhuang really did not treat their people badly.
You know, a fifty-guan pick-up card is basically equivalent to Huizi's five hundred-guan.
You need to know how much the salary was in the Song Dynasty. It was only more than 20 guan per month, which added up to only 300 guanhuizi a year.
It can be said that the money in their hands is more than the annual salary of the magistrate of the Song Dynasty.
The two supported each other and returned to the teahouse, where they drank tea and got drunk.
"Back to the West, I agreed to the marriage. You persuaded me to go to Tubo. Now we cancel each other out and don't owe each other." Pu Yi looked at the pick-up card in his hand, feeling extremely happy and said to Xiao Huadong.
Xiao Huadong glanced at Pu Yi dissatisfied and said coldly: "The younger brother wants the elder brother to reject that little lady. How can the older brother agree to the younger brother's marriage?"
"My little lady's appearance is not good? Or is her character not good?" Pu Yi did not expect that Xiao Huadong was dissatisfied with the marriage and asked in confusion.
Faced with Pu Yi's question, Xiao Huadong could only nod his head: "Of course the appearance and character are fine."
"Don't you know how to play?" Pu Yi gave Xiao Huadong a contemptuous look.
Xiao Huadong could only nod and admit: "Playing is not a problem."
"Where can I find such a good-looking young lady who can play music and is filial to her elders?" Pu Yi looked at Xiao Huadong and asked incomprehensively, "What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"I just want a husband and a child, and the requirements are not high." Xiao Huadong recalled Miss Ren's playing hand, "She may not know how to cook."
Xiao Huadong’s father is a farmer, and his mother and aunt also weave at home, a typical situation where men farm and women weave.
If I say I have knowledge, I don't have much knowledge.
Xiao Huadong's mother is a typical peasant woman who takes care of her husband and raises her children. Of course, she also educates her children in the same way as she takes care of her husband and raises her children.
Although this young lady today has a good appearance and a decent personality, she is obviously not the kind to support her husband and teach her children.
Isn't it? She is the kind of person who doesn't touch the beauty of spring water.
Since you don't know how to cook, who will do it? Do you think you will have to ask your mother-in-law to cook for you in the future, and you can't open your mouth to eat by yourself?
Xiao Huadong was thinking about something, while Pu Yi drank tea, observed, and guessed what Xiao Huadong was thinking.
Pu Yi suddenly saw the piano left by the young lady and suddenly realized that as a restaurant performance manager, she might earn more than Xiao Huadong.
Thinking of this, Pu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Brother, this little lady must be good-looking and talented, and she can also make you money. How many such good wives can there be in the world? You are so lucky, why?" Don’t cherish it yet.”
"She is talented and good-looking and can also find money. These are her strengths." Xiao Huadong shook his head, "My mother said, ma'am, just find a husband who can teach your son how to cook."
"It can be said that this little lady has exceeded your requirements. Don't you like it?" Pu Yi thought for a while, then winked and suddenly realized, "You are afraid that this little lady's salary will exceed yours. You can't control her. Cooking, more It’s a small matter, you can hire a cook or a maid.”
"It's true, she is so powerful, she will definitely be very strong in the future, and she can't cook. My little brother's mother may not agree." Xiao Huadong blushed when he told him what was on his mind, but he thought about it and said worriedly .
"Don't use Auntie as an excuse. You are afraid of the roar of the lion from Hedong." Pu Yi shook his head, "This little lady wants to find someone she likes, otherwise she wouldn't play for you personally. Since she likes you, she will not play for you in the future. I will make you the master of the family."
"The younger brother is in charge? Since she is the supervisor, wouldn't she bring the supervisor to her home? It seems that the younger brother is no match for her." Xiao Huadong thought for a while and shook his head.
"This is possible. But it is impossible for her to control you." Pu Yi recalled, and continued, "I saw that she secretly looked at you from time to time. What does it mean? It means that she really likes you."
"I know the lady likes me, but I'm just afraid that she will control me." Xiao Huadong shook his head in fear.
"Such a mother-in-law is like a blind lady." Pu Yi put the tea cup on the table with a bang and said angrily, "If you don't want it, I will divorce the yellow-faced mother-in-law at home and go propose marriage to my uncle."
"Ru, Ru..." Xiao Huadong said two words, but found that he could not continue.
Pu Yi sat down at this time and said patiently: "It seems that you still like this little lady. You are just worried that you will not be able to control her in the future. What is marriage? It is a matter between two people. In fact, you are very lucky, and If we like each other so much, we will be very happy in the future."
"Thank you for your persuasion, dear friend. I like it a little bit, but I'm still worried about being bossed around by her in the future." Xiao Huadong took a sip of tea with a wry smile on his face and shook his head at the same time.
Pu Yi also sat down, drank tea, looked at him, and said as an experienced person: "As long as the husband and wife love each other, everything else is trivial. You have to adapt to officialdom. In fact, the same is true for marriage. You never adapt to it. There is also a process from running in to adapting. Only when the running in is completed can your family be considered stable and your family can be considered successful."
"So marriage is so complicated?" Xiao Huadong looked at Pu Yi and asked in a daze.
Pu Yi nodded and said solemnly: "Business must be managed, officialdom must be managed, and marriage must be managed. How to run a business is actually to learn to be a human being. Only by learning to be a human being can you live a fulfilling life in marriage, officialdom, and business." "
"It turns out that if you do these things well, you must first be a good person?" Xiao Huadong admired Pu Yi so much that he couldn't help but ask.
Pu Yi nodded, stood up and took a square step, saying as he walked: "So the sage said, cultivate one's morality, harmonize one's family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. This is the truth."
"Thank you, brother, please give me a courtesy, little brother." Xiao Huadong really admired Pu Yi now, so he got up and bowed to Pu Yi respectfully.
Pu Yi sat down and did not move out of the way or return the gift, so he accepted the gift.
These are the principles of life, this is his life sentiment.
If it weren't for the good relationship between him and Xiao Huadong, he would not be willing to tell him.
Now the two of them are going to Tubo together. They are both strangers to each other. They need to help each other and support each other, so Pu Yi gives his best summary of life to each other.
Although the two are colleagues, in terms of life experience, Pu Yi is a few years older than Xiao Huadong, and he is married.
He summarized his life experience and taught it to Xiao Huadong. In this aspect, he can be regarded as Xiao Huadong's teacher. So he accepted Xiao Huadong's gift.
Seeing Pu Yi being greeted by him, Xiao Huadong felt that he suddenly thought of a question.
He bowed his hands to Pu Yi and continued to ask: "My dear friend, although Sage Kong said that he should cultivate his moral integrity, harmonize his family, govern the country and bring peace to the world, he did not engage in business. How come this is the case in business?"
The impression given to him by businessmen in the past dynasties is that there is no treachery or business.
Since merchants are free from treachery, the dynasty always suppresses merchants in order to maintain its own stability.
Therefore, merchants always had the lowest status in the past dynasties, and scholars, farmers, industry and merchants were always ranked last.
Now that Pu Yi suddenly linked business with running officialdom and family, could it be that he wanted to overturn the case for the businessman?
Pu Yi looked at Xiao Huadong's eyes and suddenly thought that his father was a businessman.
Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants had the lowest status. How to explain this?
