Chapter 31: The workplace is dangerous
Mr. Chen Ao Daode possessed him, very pure and sacred, and he wanted to destroy prostitutes tirelessly. He asked the musicians not to think about how to hook up with men all day long, and then taught them to be solemn and self-love, to study cultural knowledge and be familiar with music.
The musicians only realized that this boss was really not fierce, but he was too serious and he was no longer afraid, so they started to laugh. They like to make fun of it the most. This person said that Chen Ao looked handsome, and his peach blossom eyes were full of lightning, and his smile was full of joy, and his voice was roaring. The purer Chen Ao, the more unfair they were.
Chen Ao decided to train them. Just then Wu Saner went upstairs, broke free from the pile of women, called Wu Saner aside, and said, "Is there anyone like the nanny in Bianjing who specializes in teaching women etiquette and rules?"
Wu Saner said: "A few days ago, a group of old palace maids were sent out from the palace. These people are very wise. What does Brother Shen want them to do?"
"Great." Chen Ao said with a slutty look: "Get a few of them to teach the musicians' manners and etiquette. In addition, we will ask someone to teach them the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Wu Saner now believed Chen Ao without asking why, nodded and said, "I'll do it tomorrow." After saying that, he said a little hesitantly: "Brother Shen, I'm here alone, and I can't separate myself. I want to ask someone to help manage the business."
As soon as Wu Saner sticks out her butt, Chen Ao knew what he wants to shit, and smiles: "Do you want to ask Wu Liuer to help you?"
Wu Saner rubbed his hands embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, Brother Shen knows what I want best. Liuer has done some business and has a wider range of knowledge and can help. Besides, he and I are fellow townsmen. Now I rely on Brother Shen to have a future, so it is good to help him."
Chen Ao nodded: "You are also the deputy director, you can make your own decision on this matter."
Wu Saner was very grateful and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Shen."
Chen Ao dared not stay here anymore, and it was very stressful to hang out with these musicians. Although he was not a gentleman, he did not do anything. In this era without rubber and insurance bags, he had to regret it for life. Chen Ao is an endurance player and is not in a hurry to be greedy for a while. He couldn't resist the flirting around these musicians, so he had to pull out the energetic Zhou Heng from the pile of women and escape.
When I returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was getting darker. A lantern with the words Zhou Mansion hanging at the door was floating alone in the night breeze. As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, I saw a girl coming over, bowing to Zhou Heng, greeting Chen Ao slightly, and saying, "Young Master, my wife asked you to go to the Buddhist temple with Shen Ao."
Zhou Heng was very dissatisfied: "I didn't even eat any food, I starved to death."
Chen Ao knew that his wife must have something to do, so he talked about Zhou Heng and said, "Let's go see the wife first."
The two went to the Buddhist temple side by side. In the temple, the lady and the lady were there. Chun'er stood behind the lady and hugged at Chen Ao. However, Miss Zhou's pretty face slightly outlined a smile under the swaying incense and candlelight. This smile Chen Ao was very familiar, and Miss Zhou was gloating.
The lady looked a little bad. She raised her eyes and glanced at the pair of teenagers, and said to Zhou Heng first: "Heng'er, I can't see anyone in the afternoon. Where have you been going?"
Zhou Heng was speechless all of a sudden, and said in a flash: "Mom, I...I'll go..." He was hesitating whether to tell a lie or to give honest explanation.
Chen Ao said frankly: "Madam, the young master and I are going to Zuiyun Tower."
The wife's face was a little cold. The reason why she was indifferent to Master Zhao at noon was that she did not believe in Master Zhao's words. Or, she had already believed that Master Zhao was sowing discord. However, Chen Ao said it in person, and the wife was naturally angry.
Men are different from women. In the eyes of men, you know that they are tacit, can be understood or expressed in words. But for women, it is an unforgivable thing, especially because their son is the male protagonist in this transaction, which is difficult to accept.
"Then, who is the idea?" The lady looked at Zhou Heng with a stern expression, and her eyes fell on Shen Ao again, making her really angry.
"Mom..., it's... it's me, listen to me first..." Zhou Heng stood up. He looked very unscrupulous on the surface, but in fact he was very loyal.
Chen Ao hurriedly said, "I took the young master there, please listen to my explanation."
Both of them were competing to take responsibility, which made Miss Zhou, who was gloating, slightly stunned, and then a trace of unpredictable smile appeared.
"Okay, say it." The lady pointed a little Chen Ao, very disappointed and angry.
Chen Ao is good at eloquence, and he is not at fault, so he knows that his wife is being provoked by others, so he starts with Miss Zhou vividly.
Miss Zhou was drinking tea, but Chen Ao was involved in her first moments. Her eyes shot through a cold light, and she was full of murderous intent. She thought to herself: "Is this guy trying to shake off our affairs together? Oh, this person can't do anything. If my mother knows that I'm working with them to cheat people of money, wouldn't it be bad? According to her mother's temperament, I'm afraid I'll be in a year or two."
"Didn't Miss Zhou cry to her wife about Miss Liu? Does Madam still remember the Zuiyunlou owner who forced Miss Liu to death? I was also listening and felt very angry, so I privately searched for the lady to cure the unscrupulous businessman."
The lady frowned and said, "I remembered that I had heard Ruo'er say this Zuiyun Tower before."
With the wife's memories as evidence, Chen Ao became even more excited and skipped the matter of cheating Pan Ren. It happened that the unscrupulous businessman was short of money and wanted to resell Zuiyunlou. Chen Ao instigated the lady and the young master to buy Zuiyunlou.
The lady then felt relieved: "Oh, so that's it. You don't want anyone to be forced by the prodigal businessman to become a prostitute, so she bought the Zuiyunlou. I said why did Ruoer ask me to take two thousand guan from the warehouse last time? This girl." She turned to Zhou Ruo and pretended to be angry and said: "Why didn't Ruoer explain to me just now, I have been worrying for so long."
"Ahem..." Zhou Ruo was choked by tea, very innocent and depressed. She just wanted to see Chen Ao's joke. Unexpectedly, Chen Ao made up a half-true story, luring the fire to her. She looked at Chen Ao in anger and said quickly: "I forgot for a moment."
Chen Ao helped Zhou Ruo and continued, "After buying Zuiyun Tower, we naturally cannot use it as a tram. So the young master came to me to discuss with him and planned to do some good deeds and transform Zuiyun Tower into a poetry academy for literati and poets to drink tea and talk about poetry. First, it is art of elegance, and second, the young master can also often listen to him and read 300 Tang poems, and he can recite poems even if he can't write poems. If he listens too much, will his studies improve?"
The lady turned anger into joy, believed Chen Ao's words without doubt, and smiled and said, "This idea is good, it must have been thought of by Chen Ao. Chen Ao has many ideas."
Chen Ao smiled reservedly: "This is also because the wife has good teachings. Today, the young master and I went to Zuiyun Tower to check and repair the storefront. I don't know who heard some rumors and caused such a big misunderstanding."
The lady became kind again at this time, asked Zhou Heng and Shen Ao to sit aside, and said, "Drink tea, are you hungry? Chun'er, go and ask the kitchen to warm up the hot dishes, don't be hungry for the two children."
The lady ordered that no one dared to neglect it. After talking for a while, the hot meal was served. Both of them were empty-hearted and swallowed it without any hesitation in front of the lady. They ate it very comfortably.
He had a conversation with his wife. Before leaving, the wife suddenly said, "Chen Ao, Master Zhao came to the Buddhist temple at noon today."
Chen Ao suddenly realized that the hint was very clear. It turned out that the person who complained was Zhao. Fortunately, he did not really take Zhou Heng to look for flowers and willows, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Ao's eyes. This person could not be kept anymore. Otherwise, he would be killed sooner or later. Since he was unkind, Chen Ao would never mind overturning him to the ground and stepping on him a few times. But how to defeat him needs to be thought about again.
Although he thought so, in front of his wife, Chen Ao, the treacherous man pretended to be surprised: "Is it the Chief Zhao? How did the Chief Zhao know that the young master and I are going to Zuiyun Tower? Madam, Chief Zhao must have misunderstood me. He is a very good person and always greets me when I see me. The day before yesterday, he asked me kindly if I live in the inner house and told me to tell him any needs. Madam, don't blame Chief Zhao. When the misunderstanding is clarified, we will probably get along with each other."
This sentence was simply heart-wrenching, and every sentence had a deep meaning. First, he pretended to be surprised, indicating that Chen Ao was very simple and pure, and never thought that anyone would sue him behind his back. Later, he said that the man Zhao Zhushi was very good, which not only showed his openness, but also showed that Zhao Zhushi was very sinister. He greeted Shen Ao in person and kindly wanted to take care of Chen Ao, but someone was stumbling behind him. Finally, he said that this was just a misunderstanding, asking the wife not to blame Zhao Zhushi, which meant that Chen Ao was very broad-minded.
The lady recalled Chen Ao's words carefully and was stunned. When Chen Ao and Zhou Heng left, the graceful face under the candle shadow suddenly fell down and said to Zhou Ruo beside her: "Ruoer, I also think that Master Zhao is a loyal servant, and he is also a good person at all. I didn't expect that people's hearts would be unpredictable. He was so cruel to make things difficult for a good child like Shen Ao?"
