Chapter 19 Heartbreak
The next day.
The light snow suddenly stopped.
Lu Changsheng sat on the doorstep, sighing in his heart.
Auspicious snow means a good harvest.
If the snow can continue, even if it doesn't rain in the spring of next year, it can give the land a break.
Unfortunately, at present, it is a bit wishful thinking.
"Archery is almost a minor success!"
With a standard bow and arrow, the progress has really improved a lot.
"Archery: (style)"
"Entry required: 0.1 years (already started)"
"Minor success required: 0.5 years"
"Great success required: 2.5 years"
After calculating, it has been about four months since I started learning archery. In another month, archery will be a minor success.
Lu Changsheng has already gotten used to it.
"The road is endless, and time is invisible!"
Stretching himself, he felt refreshed.
"Ready, Changsheng!"
Wang Heihou and Li Nangua came over.
Li Nangua handed two exquisite bags to Lu Changsheng.
The bag was bought in the city, named 'Xunzi Sleeve', which was originally a scented handkerchief used by women in the boudoir. Later, a scholar named Xunzi used this thing every time to wrap the silver purse and send it home. Later, Xunzi passed the imperial examination, and this thing became more elegant and spread.
Pinching it gently, the soft texture and the cold hardness of the copper formed a unique sense of beauty.
"I don't understand, why spend so many copper coins to buy this thing?"
Wang Heihou muttered.
One Xunzi sleeve costs 5 copper coins, so 10 copper coins go out, plus the two copper coins inside, that's 50 copper coins.
They only earned less than 200 copper coins in half a month!
Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "This can't be saved! For us, this is a lucky charm!"
"Have you found anything unusual recently?"
Lu Changsheng had a test in mind.
Li Nangua said, "There are often people outside the door staring at us. I think they don't seem to be good people!"
After all, the girl is careful.
Lu Changsheng nodded approvingly to Li Nangua.
The latter blushed slightly. Perhaps because of the regular diet during this period, his face has become slightly rounder and looks a little cute.
"Now that you mention it, I also remembered that when I was outside recruiting people a few days ago, there was a person who kept following me, but I shook him off!"
Wang Heihou was still very cautious, and Lu Changsheng was very satisfied with this.
"Our business is just a piece of fragrant steamed bun. If it emits a little fragrance, it will attract rats from all walks of life. We don't have the capital to keep it, so we can only choose a big tree to hug!"
Lu Changsheng didn't have anything to be upset about.
"Then we can just go to the Sanhong Gang directly. Why do we have to give money to Zhao Hu?" Wang Heihou said dissatisfiedly.
Lu Changsheng smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know later!"
Some things can't be told to them directly, but they have to experience it themselves!
After a while, Lu Changsheng and Wang Heihou came to Zhao Hu's yard.
"Is it you?"
The plump woman was cleaning the yard last time.
"Madam, is Lord Zhao Hu home?"
Originally, the woman was a little unhappy when she saw the two of them, but when Lu Changsheng finished speaking, her expression suddenly eased a lot.
"Yes!"
The woman motioned them to go in by themselves.
After a while, the two saw Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu's face was a little haggard, and he was a little dissatisfied with the appearance of the two.
However, after Lu Changsheng put one of the Xunzi sleeve money bags on the table, he suddenly froze for a moment and grabbed it.
"10 copper coins are not much, but where did you get so many copper coins?"
Zhao Hu's breathing became a little heavier.
He was extremely sensitive to silver and money. He knew that Lu Changsheng and others did not have many copper coins, and it was a bit difficult to survive this half month.
How can we give out another copper coin to give to others?
"In the past half month, we have found a job for ourselves--"
"Impossible!" Zhao Hu interrupted Lu Changsheng before he finished speaking, "Where can so many jobs come from! The class of Heishan Mansion is so extensive and the relationships are so complicated. There are only so many jobs, and they have already eaten them all. How could you find them for us!"
As he spoke, Zhao Hu's eyes were already bloodshot, which scared Wang Heihou.
"So, what the adults said before, to help us find jobs, was actually just talk?" Lu Changsheng was not scared by him and smiled bitterly.
This time, unlike the previous times, he had confidence in his heart.
And he could see that Zhao Hu's expression in front of him looked scary, but in fact, it was not as scary as the previous times.
Just like a dog that bites people does not bark, the anger suppressed in the heart is the most terrible anger!
"A job? If it was so easy to find, would I still be here today?" Zhao Hu had no taboos.
He thought that Lu Changsheng would angrily accuse him, but he didn't want to-
"Then I'm relieved!" Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"Please let me finish my words patiently!" Lu Changsheng said: "You should be curious about where the money came from. Like I said, we found a job for ourselves-"
Zhao Hu's mouth moved, and he wanted to refute habitually, but when he thought of Lu Changsheng's words, he endured it again.
"Take one person to learn archery, 20 copper coins for seven days, twenty days, we have taken more than twenty people in total, and the income..."
Lu Changsheng said.
And Zhao Hu in front of him has gone from sneering at the beginning to being shocked later.
It seems like he has seen a monster!
"This is the job you found for yourself?" he whispered.
"Yes!"
"Then why did you come to me and tell me all this?"
"To get the adults to join us!"
"Haha...haha..." Zhao Hu laughed, from a small laugh at the beginning to a big laugh later.
Lu Changsheng gave Wang Heihou a calm smile, looking at Zhao Hu in front of him, he seemed to know what he was thinking.
"Your Excellency thinks that since you know about this matter and there is money to be made, why don't you do it yourself?"
"Of course! It's nothing more than getting people to learn archery! I, Zhao Hu, have been in Heishan Mansion for many years. I dare not say anything else, but I think I have some skills in this little trick!" Zhao Hu also laughed.
For some reason, at this moment, he felt that the smile of the child in front of him had a unique charm, and he couldn't help imitating it subconsciously.
However, he suddenly froze in the middle of laughing.
Just because of Lu Changsheng's words——
"Why, after so many years, has the master still achieved nothing?"
"Changsheng!" Wang Heihou felt the hair on his body stand up, and he was secretly anxious, hoping that Lu Changsheng could apologize to Zhao Hu.
This Changsheng, who was so smart and kind on weekdays, how could he make such a mistake today?
Even Wang Heihou could see that Zhao Hu in front of him was directly touched by this sentence, which was an extremely fatal stimulation.
Zhao Hu's face flushed, his eyes seemed to be bloodshot, staring at Lu Changsheng, like a lone wolf forced into a corner.
"You... said... what!" The hoarse voice sounded like it came from hell.
Wang Heihou felt his legs soften and sat down on the ground.
However, Lu Changsheng's next words instantly dispelled this atmosphere.
