"oh?"
The chief shopkeeper of the cloth shop didn't seem surprised by the middle-aged man's words. He gently rubbed the round ruby ring on his index finger a few times, and then said slowly: "Have you forgotten the oath you made when you joined?"
"What oath?"
The rich middle-aged man laughed when he heard this: "Big shopkeeper, when was that old almanac? How many of you can remember that?"
Moreover, speaking of these years, I am pretty good to you, right? Which year would I not pay a huge sum of money to hand it over? Is it enough to be benevolent enough to do what I do? Hum hum, don’t think I don’t know, aren’t those people who rebelled directly are living well now? "
When the shopkeeper heard this, his hands trembled, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man with a crazy look on his face: "You think you are doing the right thing? You have forgotten how you became a grocery store clerk. Have you become the richest person you are today?"
The middle-aged man smiled arrogantly, and the fat all over his body was trembling, but his eyes were still cold: "I haven't forgotten! Yes, it was you who tricked me into marrying that woman! But after so many years, the things I gave The money is enough to repay you a thousand times, ten thousand times! Well, that woman is dead now! I'm tired too, and I don't want to be a puppet in your hands anymore! Big shopkeeper! Please come back!"
The shopkeeper's face twitched a few times, he raised his hand, trying to point at the middle-aged man, but in the end he lowered his arm in vain, and sighed: "Well, I'm not here to persuade you this time! I'm here just to tell you One thing for you, Mokiko, he’s here!”
"Um?"
Suddenly hearing the word "Jiuko", the middle-aged man's face changed color instantly! The anger and anger from before! It turned into shock and fear! Or maybe it's mixed with a bit of relief that it finally came.
"You, take care of yourself."
With a final sigh, the shopkeeper hunched over and left, not even interested in looking back.
Behind him, the middle-aged man sitting on the large bed was staring at his back, his bloated chest rising and falling violently as he breathed.
"Master, do you want us to take him?"
From behind, a cold voice came quietly, but several guards in black appeared silently from nowhere.
The middle-aged man did not look back at the people behind him. He sat on the bed, took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "No need! What's the point of killing him now? Go, call all of you back now. Starting today, the Zhu family will be closed!"
Boss Zhu, a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou, suddenly fell ill!
The news that they could not see the wind, water, or people spread throughout Yangzhou city very quickly the next morning.
Some people who didn't believe this even ran to the gate of Zhu's Mansion to find out.
However, it was only later that I discovered that, as the rumors said, the door of the Zhu family was locked, and even the burned lanterns in front of the door were not taken away. The huge courtyard was filled with deathly silence.
This is one of them.
Soon, various grocery stores in Yangzhou City also closed one after another, leaving many people who planned to go out to buy things in vain. They had to spit at the closed stores.
Xiao Han only knew Zhu Bajie, not Boss Zhu, and he didn't need to buy anything like a grocery store, so he didn't care about it at all.
I woke up early in the morning with backache!
Don't think twice, it was because he was afraid that he would be dishonest when sleeping and hurt Xue Pan's stomach, so he had a restless night's sleep.
Rubbing his eyes, he comforted Butler Lu who felt that he was losing money by buying land. He ate breakfast in a hurry and told Xiaodong to set up his car. He wanted to go to Qili Village with Ziyi to look at the land.
"When we arrive at Marquis, in front of us is..."
The carriage was stopped slowly by the idiot. Ziyi jumped out of the carriage and was about to point to the front to speak when he suddenly felt something was wrong!
Why did the land she bought yesterday have so many people today?
"Zi Yi, who are these people?"
Xiao Han also walked out of the car at this time, looking at the villagers in the distance who were bending down in the fields not knowing what to do, and looked at Ziyi in confusion.
Didn't they say they had already bought this land? Then why do these people appear in his territory?
Is it possible that these people are going to go back on their word? You sold your land and now you come back to take advantage?
This is really not uncommon in later generations. There are many people who borrow money from others without exchanging it, and occupy their space without giving it away!
Not to mention Xiao Han, Ziyi also looked at those people with surprise.
She opened her mouth and was about to say something when an old man wearing a big bamboo hat suddenly saw her in the distance, waved vigorously, and then ran over at a trot.
"Oh, the girl came so early? This is... your husband-in-law, right? I'm so rude!"
Old man Liu, who was out of breath from exhaustion, laughed as he stepped on the grass and ran to Xue Pan! Then while talking, he looked Xiao Han up and down. He looked very much like his father-in-law looking at his uncle!
Zi Yi blushed instantly when the old man said the word "father-in-law", and her strong woman appearance disappeared. The little girl lightly stomped her foot, bit her lip and said: "Mr. Liu, you, what are you talking about? !”
"Oh? Did the old man say something wrong?"
Old Man Liu has lived for so long and has become a human spirit. When he saw Zi Yi's appearance, he immediately knew that he had made a mistake. He quickly smiled and apologized to the two of them.
Xiao Han is not as thin-skinned as Ziyi. In other words, his face is definitely thick enough to prevent arrows. Not to mention being regarded as Ziyi's husband, even if there are a few more, it won't be a problem... Ahem, the premise is that Xue Hope it’s not here!
After giving a gentle bow to Old Man Liu, Xiao Han did not mention what he had just said. He pointed at the villagers and asked the old man: "I have seen my father-in-law, but I don't know what those people are doing?"
"Oh, you mean them?"
Old man Liu was very satisfied with Xiao Han's thorough etiquette. He smiled, raised his chin and nodded at the people: "Didn't the girl buy this land yesterday?
The old man came back last night and took a look at it. He felt that the land had been deserted for a while and the grass was almost overgrown. It couldn't be handed over to others like this!
So early this morning, we mobilized the people in the village to work together to clean up and make it look presentable. "
"Oh, I see!"
When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately felt awe in his heart, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed for his little thoughts just now.
I don't know why, even though I have been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, many times, I still look at things with the refined egoism of later generations, always thinking the worst of people.
This way of thinking is almost incompatible with the etiquette system of the Tang Dynasty. Whenever you see the nobility of others, it always highlights his insignificance.
Perhaps, Mr. Lu Xun's "little boy under the leather robe" may be referring to people like him.
