“…… Lord Du Wei was raised, and the kid didn't dare to climb high. "Of course, there are also people who don't know how to lift, such as this Xu Donglai, who has a bit of a thatched house stone.

"Brother Xu, it's a good thing to fulfill your duties, but you have to compromise when it's time to compromise. Most of the servants in my house are rewards from the palace, and it may not be easy for outsiders to go, you should understand this, right? ”

The more he encounters the hard stubble, the stronger the fighting spirit of Hong Tao, he has not fooled people for several months, his family does not need to fool, and the emperor and the prime minister dare not fool, and finally encountered a target that can show his talent, and he must not let go.

Xu Donglai did not report his name but only his name, which shows that he is not an intellectual, let alone a civil servant. Such people are slower to fool around, and it takes a lot of effort to talk about it.

"......" Xu Donglai should have understood, and he should have been confused by Hong Tao's strange words, nodded and shook his head again.

"So it's unlikely that these children will be domestic servants when they come to my house, so why should I adopt so many children?"

The more confused the other party is, the happier Hong Tao is, first talk about people confused, so that he can follow his own way of thinking. The next step is to induce, set up your own target and hit it yourself, which is a very effective way.

"Why ......" Xu Donglai came to the trap, he really wanted to know why a colt was not good at coaxing the princess in the mansion to be happy, and suddenly wanted to adopt so many orphans.

Especially this colt also came to the door in person, he has lived in Pig Killing Alley for so many years, and the colt is not the highest official he has ever seen, but he should be the first one who can go deep into here with light clothes.

"The princess and I have no children, this is a matter known to the government and the public, and the family is unfortunate. But the princess likes children, and I like it too, since I don't have children of my own, it shouldn't be a bad thing to adopt a few to raise them as adults, right? Hong Tao gave the first reason.

"I'm afraid it's not suitable for orphans here......" Xu Donglai shook his head firmly, this reason sounds a little reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not convincing enough. Adopting a child is not used by the Salesian Bureau to find orphans at all, especially the royal family, and it is only right to find a child from an official family to pass on.

"Brother Xu didn't know that a certain was about to open the first Flying Eagle Club in the Great Song Dynasty in the backyard of the Guozijian, and the official family and the concubines in the palace liked it very much, and they would definitely become another frolicking in the Great Song Dynasty with sumo wrestling and juju. But there is a shortage of manpower in the house, and a certain can still support it over the years, once the old age is not enough, who should be the successor? ”

This is where Hong Tao is cunning, the first reason he gave is that there are deliberately loopholes, only by letting the other party see the flaws, and then filling the flaws with more reasonable words, will he have a greater sense of trust. No, the patch is coming.

“…… Lord Duwei is afraid of the family of the step-child......" Xu Donglai frowned and began to pull his beard, his brain was running at a high speed, trying to figure out the information that Hong Tao didn't say by himself, but he actually found it!

"Congratulations, you got it right! But not quite...... Brother Xu didn't know that he was still a doctor of the academy, and His Majesty personally sealed it. But if you have a skill but no relatives to pass on, isn't it painful! Bring these smart children back to the house, and teach them the art of mathematics, and in the future, they will not only inherit my family business, but also pass on my skills. Brother Xu has seen this? It is called abacus, no need to read and break, just teach a few words of formula, practice for a few days, and you can compete with the account office without falling behind. Think about it, do these children come to my house to suffer or be taught? I think even if they can read a few words here, they may not be able to support their families when they become adults, and they mostly go to work as helpers. But I can give them a different future, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will be able to enter Taixue and Arithmetic Academy in the future. ”

Originally, Hong Tao didn't think that Xu Donglai could guess what he was talking about, but he didn't expect this guy to be quite smart. This saves trouble, and it is often much easier to fool smart people than fools to fool stupid people, because smart people can associate.

As long as he follows his own way of thinking, then the answer is not what he told him, but he analyzes it himself. Will anyone not believe the results of their analysis? What a sane man.

"Really?" Xu Donglai's brain is a little insufficient, just a colt comes to the door in person, it takes a lot of brains, and now he has become a doctor of the academy, and he also took out a complex mechanism from the skin on the horse's back that looks very tall. There are so many beads, it must be a doctor of the academy to be clear, not like a lie.

"You can't believe the words of the crazy horse, don't you still believe the official family!" At this time, Hong Tao put away the doctor's face that was teaching earnestly, his face sank, his right hand was raised, and the waist card was revealed.

"The kid didn't dare...... I wonder how much Lord Captain wants to adopt? ”

Xu Donglai has no doubts at all now, if Hong Tao takes out the waist card as soon as he comes up, he is really not convinced, and he must notify the messenger of the government to come and make a decision. But with the foreshadowing, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable to say anything if he didn't believe it.

The colt must be a good man, and the people are here to provide a great future for the children, and for the common people, there is nothing more important than a skill. As for talking about learning too much and counting the hospital, I don't dare to think about it at all, and it's not realistic for the orphans to think too much and too far.

"Three or five is not too little, and ten or twenty is not too much...... Not every child can enter my house, intelligence is the first priority, and there must be no vices. ”

Now it's Hong Tao's turn to take the candy, I didn't want you to give it just now, and now you have to pick and choose for me. This is not a trick to fool people, but a trick in the mall, whoever has a need is in a hurry!

"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Hurry up and go to each courtyard and call the children to the side courtyards for the Captain to choose, and their blessings will come! ”

It turns out that this trick is really useful, Xu Donglai's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, and now he is not worried about what abuse the children will suffer if they are taken away by the colt, but he is afraid that there will be fewer people to pick up, and it will not be good to miss anyone.

"Brother Xu, don't panic, take your time, this matter is up to my two family members. I would like to ask more, are the children living so badly here, why are they in such a hurry to give it to me? "Hong Tao is also a cheap bone, and he was persuaded by a black heart when he didn't let him adopt, but now it's not in a hurry to pick it casually, and he has to get to the bottom of it.

"Lord Du Wei doesn't know, this matter is long......" Xu Donglai seemed to have something to say but didn't want to say, and sighed and looked a little down.

"There is time, and it doesn't hurt to talk. Come on, come on, when I came, there was a wine shop outside the door, sell two pots of old wine, cut half a catty of face meat, and talk while eating! Don't shirk, otherwise you will have to hold a waist card to call the shop soldiers to take people! ”

Hong Tao likes to listen to other people's unspeakable secrets, and when he saw that Xu Donglai still didn't want to talk about it, he definitely didn't agree. At the moment, he was dragged out of the yard regardless of whether people were happy or not.

In fact, Hong Tao prefers this kind of street shop, except for the poor sanitary conditions, and he has to blast away the flies by hand from time to time, the taste of the wine and food is no worse than that of Bai Alum Building. The main thing is to chat in this kind of place, and when you pay the bill, you don't have to worry about the pain, and you can't spend 100 cents to order a table of wine and food.
