Early the next morning.
"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Yingyue blushed and raised her head to look at the energetic Lu Chen.
"No more sleep!"
Lu Chen complained while getting dressed.
"This thatched hut is dilapidated and shabby. There are many mosquitoes. Living here for a long time is not good for your health."
"I'll go take a look in the next two days and look for a house. Let's move as soon as possible!"
Jiang Yingyue hugged Lu Chen from behind, pressed her pretty face against hers, and said with satisfaction: "As long as you live a good life, I don't care where you live!"
Lu Chen patted her hand gently and said in a gentle tone.
"wait me back!"
…
In front of the restaurant.
As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the door, the boy hurriedly came to greet him.
"Master Lu is here!"
Ever since Lu Chen made mahjong that day, the business of the entire restaurant has been in a mess.
Not to mention private rooms, there is no space in the lobby now.
Fortunately, it is early in the morning and there are not too many people.
If it were at night, it would be really crowded.
"Master Lu!"
"Good morning, Mr. Lu!"
Several idle young men arrived early and were already sitting in their seats, reciting poems and composing poems.
Usually they wouldn't get up so early, but it's been hard to get a seat in the restaurant recently, so they came early to get a seat.
After all, they are used to being idle and usually have nothing to do.
"Master Lu, you healed my brother-in-law with your wonderful rejuvenation two days ago, and I haven't even had time to thank you!"
Zhao Wei stood up and walked towards Lu Chen, holding the wine glass with gratitude.
Ever since Lu Chen cured Zhao Hai that day, Zhao Chunsheng had praised him a lot.
Said that he finally made a real friend and met a noble person.
He also said that Lu Chen was by no means a creature in the pool, and he would definitely have a place in the Dafeng Emperor’s capital in the future.
Let him walk around with Lu Chen more.
But since Lu Chen returned from Zhao Mansion, he was rarely at home.
This also made Zhao Wei return several times looking for trouble.
Finally, I came directly to this restaurant to wait for him.
"Young Master Zhao, you are welcome!"
"The second young master should not die. He is blessed by the gods. Lu is just the icing on the cake. He should not be thanked like this!"
Lu Chen was very polite, and the magnanimity that a scholar should have was clearly displayed.
It attracted praise from the talented people around him.
"Mr. Zhao, it's still early. I wonder if we can share a drink with you?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Chen extended an invitation.
He came today just to see Zhao Wei.
"What I wish for!"
Zhao Wei agreed and seemed particularly excited.
When Lu Chen and Zhao Wei walked out of the box, the sun was already rising.
Customers began to come to the restaurant one after another, and it was a lively scene.
"Lu Chen?"
"Why are you free to come here today?"
Xu Youcai yawned as he walked in and bumped into Lu Chen.
"Uncle Xu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Lu Chen stepped forward with a smile, pulling Xu Youcai towards the restaurant.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing, kid..."
When we came out of the restaurant, it was almost late.
Lu Chen did not bring any more food and wine this time. Instead, he bought a roast chicken and a bottle of Shaodao wine on the street and returned home.
…
"Master Hong, I heard recently that that boy Lu Chen made a lot of money, and that old bastard Xu Youcai almost divided the restaurant equally with him."
"Today is the last day of debt collection. Maybe that guy can really get enough money!"
Hong family, lobby.
Hong Gui's fat body was sitting in the main seat with a golden sword. Two maids were holding his shoulders beside him, and several younger brothers were sitting on both sides, chatting about how to deal with Lu Chen.
Hong Gui glared and glared: "Have you collected enough money?"
"It doesn't matter if you have enough money, the price you have to pay cannot be less."
"Lu Chen?"
"It's just a spineless dog, a worm trying to survive. What can you do to fight me!"
"Today the silver is mine, and so are his wives and daughters."
As he spoke, Hong Gui waved his hand, and a group of people set off towards Lu Chen's shabby thatched hut.
Some people on the street witnessed this scene, and they were so frightened that they shrank their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Watching their retreating figures, I silently mourned for the Lu family for three seconds.
…
"I bought such an expensive thing again. You don't listen every time I tell you. The money didn't come from the strong wind!"
Jiang Yingyue glared at Lu Chen angrily, tore off a chicken leg and gave it to Lu Tiantian, while she mixed the chicken skin with brown rice and ate it with gusto.
Lu Chen shook his head, pulled off the other chicken leg and put it into Jiang Yingyue's bowl, poured a cup of Shao Knife and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay, why are you drinking?"
Jiang Yingyue asked.
"hiss!"
"It's so rough!"
After eating a bowl of roasted knives, Lu Chen couldn't help but complain.
As a surgeon in his previous life, he seldom drank alcohol.
Because that would paralyze the nerves and affect his operating techniques.
If Hong Gui hadn't come to collect debts today, he wouldn't have said anything to buy wine to embolden him.
But after taking this bite, Lu Chen immediately had new ideas.
It seems that in this era, the brewing technology is still very backward.
If I could make good wine, would I still be short of money?
"Bang!"
Just as Lu Chen was thinking, the door was kicked open.
"Lu Chen, Master Hong is here to collect debts!"
"Is your daughter ready?"
Jiang Yingyue was startled, hugged Tiantian beside her, and glanced at Lu Chen, fearing that he would regret selling Tiantian.
Looking at Hong Gui with a sinister look, Lu Chen stood up without being humble or overbearing.
"Hong Gui, I have collected enough ten taels of silver. I will pay the debt I owe you myself. I can't use my daughter to pay the debt!"
As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his arms and threw it on the ground.
Lu Chen has figured it out in the past few days.
When dealing with evil people like Hong Gui, you can't use too gentle methods.
Otherwise, the more groveling you are, the more arrogant and domineering the other party will be.
"Ten taels of silver?"
"Lu Chen, you are sending the beggar away!"
Hong Gui didn't even look at the money bag on the ground, and stepped on it with a vicious look on his face.
"That was a debt from three days ago. You have to pay twenty taels back today. This is the interest!"
"You don't understand the principle of nine departures and thirteen returns, right?"
"It's been how many days and you've been putting it off. Is it fair for me to add some interest?"
Hong Gui's face was full of anger, and his smile was very ferocious.
A group of younger brothers behind him cooperated, acting like a ruffian and a bully.
"Lu Chen..."
Jiang Yingyue was so frightened that she hugged Lu Tiantian tightly and was very worried about Lu Chen.
With Lu Chen's small body, he had no chance of winning against the dozen or so fierce and fierce men from Hong Gui opposite him.
If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid I'll have to kneel on the spot.
"Hong Gui, don't go too far!"
Although he had long known that Hong Gui would not abide by the agreement, at this moment, Lu Chen was still very angry.
It's a shame that I wasn't a martial arts practitioner before, otherwise I would have beaten this guy into a pig's head today.
"Excessive?"
"I'll show you what's more outrageous!"
Hong Gui had a sinister smile on his face.
"Come here, take that little girl back for me."
"By the way, there is also Lu Chen's wife, who is so pretty. It would be a pity to follow this guy."
"Just bringing back love and love!"
With a wave of his hand, a group of younger brothers rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
"stop!"
Lu Chen roared angrily and stood in front of his wife and daughter.
However, how could his small body be able to stop a dozen local bullies?
At the critical moment, Lu Chen finally heard the sound of nature.
"Jinchuan City Chief Secretary Zhao Chunsheng has arrived!"
