Chapter 398 Boss Liu is so generous!
Alai nodded, put down the preserved fruit, and when he looked up, he saw the sky full of sky lanterns.
"It's not even Mid-Autumn Festival yet, why are there so many people releasing sky lanterns?" If he had known about this activity earlier, he would have released one too.
Shu He saw what he was thinking and asked, "Why, Brother Alai also has a wish?"
Alai smiled innocently, "Sir, I think everyone should have a wish, right?"
"Whether it's seeking wealth, power, marriage, or peace, I'm just an ordinary person, so naturally I have something to ask for."
Shu He took a new cup and poured him a glass of green wine. "That's true. So tell me, what do you want to ask for?"
Alai recognized the wine. It was something brought from outside the region by foreign merchants in the West Market. It was very precious.
He was a little nervous. "Sir, this is Miss Zhang's favorite wine. Can I drink it too?"
Shu He smiled bitterly, "Isn't wine made for people to drink? Why can't you drink it?"
Alai carefully took the wine glass and took a sip.
The shock in his eyes was enough to prove how amazing this green wine was.
Seeing him drinking cautiously, Shu He felt a little sour in his heart, "Drink up, there's still plenty! All this wine today is yours!"
In another world, almost everyone can afford to drink this kind of thing, but people here may never have even seen it.
That’s right, if you can’t even afford to eat, how can you have time to worry about other things?
A Lai looked at the glass bottle she had thrust into his hand, and reluctantly put it back, "Sir, this wine should be given to Miss Zhang. She likes it, but I don't really like it either..."
"Being able to stay in Zhenyao Pavilion and study pharmacology with you is the greatest achievement of my life!"
"People should not be greedy."
Shu He smiled, but didn't expose his "dislike." "You haven't told me yet, what is your wish?"
Alai smiled sheepishly, "Actually, it's nothing. I just hope my brother, who's in the army, can come home safely, and that my parents can be healthy. I also hope that I can succeed in my studies and support them..."
Shu He suddenly remembered his origins and asked, "You are from Yuancheng, right? Are your parents also in Yuancheng?"
A Lai nodded. "Back then, I was just a street vendor selling medicine. Mr. Liu and Ms. Zhang took a liking to me and said they would bring me to Kyoto and give me a monthly stipend of three taels of silver."
"My parents were so happy when they found out, they insisted that I come to Kyoto with you."
It’s just that Yuancheng is too far away, and he hasn’t been home since he came out.
"Then who will take care of your parents at home?"
When she brought him to Kyoto, she didn't know she had parents. She thought he was alone.
Alai said, "My sister is at home. She's fifteen years old and hasn't gotten married yet. She helps with farm work and takes care of our parents."
He has already written a letter to his family, saying that when he earns 50 taels of silver, he will be able to buy a small courtyard in a remote place in Kyoto. Then, he will bring his parents and sister to Kyoto!
Shu He could see that he missed his family very much.
"Alai, do you want to bring your parents to Kyoto?"
In fact, the management of the first floor of Zhenyaoge is done by Alai. Zhang Zhirou rarely takes charge of things, as she is not cut out for business management.
To be honest, although Alai is young, he is very capable and a good helper.
She wasn't a stingy person, she just wanted to buy a small courtyard near the Zhenyao Pavilion, enough for her family of four to live in. This was not a difficult task for her.
After hearing this, Alai was stunned at first, and then he was in disbelief. "First, sir, are you saying that you want me to bring my family to Kyoto?"
Shu He nodded. "Well, in one day, the first floor will be basically finished. The day after tomorrow morning, you can go back to your hometown to pick me up. I will arrange accommodation for you here, and you can live here as soon as you arrive."
Alai excitedly grabbed her arm, still unable to believe it, "Sir, are you telling the truth?"
He can bring his family to Kyoto!
Shu He felt that his arm was pinched so hard that it hurt, which was enough to show that he was really excited.
She smiled and said, "Do I look like I'm joking? But Alai, can you please let me go first? It hurts a little..."
When Alai realized that he had offended her, he wanted to slap himself twice!
"I'm sorry, sir, I lost my composure..."
"Didn't I tell you? There are no 'villains' here. You are my worker. We have an employment relationship and are equals!"
When Alai first heard the word "equality", he secretly laughed at her naivety. But he never expected that she herself had always treated others in this way.
Her attitude towards Zhang Zhirou and him has always been, as she said, "equal".
He had never seen such a master, such an employer, such a physician...
Shu He continued, "It just so happens that I've transferred someone from outside. She will arrive in Kyoto in the next two days. If you leave, she can take your place."
Alai was deeply moved. "Thank you, sir! I will study hard and work hard in the future to repay you!"
Shu He chuckled, and realizing that there was an uninvited guest in the precious medicine pavilion, she asked A Lai to leave.
After Alai left, a figure appeared on the courtyard wall.
Shu He didn't even raise his head and said calmly, "How long do you plan to eavesdrop?"
The man on the wall flew down and sat next to her very consciously.
"Boss Liu is so generous! I also need a house in Kyoto. Could Mr. Liu buy one for me?"
