Chapter 18
: After the matter, Fuyi left ()
Soon Xie Hong discovered that except Mr. Dong himself, everyone present had the same thoughts as Master Lu. The eyes of him were full of three-point doubts and seven-point worship. The vague whispers from the crowd also proved this.
"Is this the legendary domineering aura?"
"What domineering? This is the righteous spirit of scholars after they have cultivated themselves to the extreme! They can defeat others without fighting, otherwise how could they say that Xie Zhubu was the Xingjun descending to earth? You must know that the great scholars and saints in ancient times have such righteous spirit."
"That's right, did you not see that Mr. Xie was calm when Mr. Lu attacked just now? That was because he didn't take the clown seriously at all."
"Oh, oh! So that's it, I'll say..."
Hello, it's getting more and more outrageous. Xie Hong is very embarrassed. I was holding on to the positive spirit just now, so why did I get to the point of Haoran's righteousness? Blind admiration is not enough.
Moreover, she was staring at her with so many people, and her eyes were still hot. Xie Hong couldn't stand it and hurriedly gave Fu Banting a wink. After all, it was an old clerk. Fu Banting quickly woke up from the shock. Seeing Xie Hong's wink, he immediately understood Xie Hong's meaning. He raised his hand and said loudly:
"It's okay, it's okay! Everyone has dispersed, they are all blocking the yamen gate like something." The boss said, and the two yamen runners guarding the gate also evacuated the crowd. It was noon, and everyone was hungry. Seeing that there was no fun, they went there. Anyway, Lord Xie is from the county, so it's not too late to watch again.
The crowd dispersed, but the people from the Dong family did not move. The housekeeper and the shopkeeper were still staring at each other. Besides, the master stood there and did not move, so they could only follow. Xie Hong also knew that Mr. Dong should have something to say, so he bowed and said, "Mr. Dong thinks he has something to do in his heart. It's noon now. I and my brothers are about to have dinner. If Mr. Dong doesn't abandon him, what if he might as well come together?"
Mr. Dong was thinking about how to come forward to talk. Xie Hong's invitation was just right, and he was overjoyed. He whispered to the butler and walked over alone. Zhang Erniu was a little puzzled and muttered, "The Dong family doesn't pay for money to buy things, and they are not good people. Why do they invite them to dinner?"
Xie Hong smiled and said, "It is better to resolve enemies than to make them. Besides, the old man Lu suddenly disrupted the situation just now. If Mr. Dong hadn't made the case, we might have suffered a loss."
Influenced by the Ming Dynasty, Zhang's father always envied scholars. This view was also instilled in Zhang Erniu since childhood. Although Zhang Erniu himself did not like studying, he also thought scholars were of great significance.
The former Xie Hong was a nerd, but he didn't realize what happened. After Xie Hong traveled through time, the music box had already shocked him. Today, he resolved a lawsuit with just a few words. Zhang Erniu had already blindly admired Xie Hong. After hearing what Xie Hong said, he immediately stopped talking, but only looked at how Xie Hong answered to the other party.
When Mr. Dong heard Xie Hong's words, he quickly said thank you: "Mr. Xie is so serious. Today's matter is because the Dong family is wrong first. I really can't stand it for the statement of righteousness. Master Xie is not surprised and I am already grateful." He clasped his fists and said to Zhang Erniu: "Brother Zhang, I am really sorry for today's matter. Dong apologizes to you. I hope I will be very grateful for the offender."
Zhang Erniu was already rough. The Dong family apologized here, but Xie Hong didn't care. He also smiled silly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, but you have to give me the money for the iron plow. The iron material and the fire cost a lot."
Hearing this foolish man say this, Xie Hong couldn't help but smile, and Master Dong also laughed and said, "Of course I have to give this money. Today I will let Dong be the boss and treat it as an apology. Please give me the face."
At this time, the crowd had dispersed, and Fu Bantu came over and hurriedly said, "Master Dong, this is wrong with you. Everything must come first and then come. Today, we brothers wanted to welcome Chief Xie to take office. Master Dong just came together, just let it go."
Mr. Dong was reluctant to give up and insisted: "Today I am tired and I have worked hard, so Dong also apologized. Several of the team leaders and Lord Xie are colleagues, and they are together day and night, so they are worried that there is no chance to get close to each other. Today, this opportunity must be given to Dong."
The two of them refused a few round trips, but in the end, Fu Bantu gave in. Anyway, the relationship between them was close to having a meal together, so it didn't matter whether they were doing it or not. He just wanted to make a gesture and sell personal favors. Mr. Dong's family business is quite large, and there is a backstage in the capital, so he happened to make friends.
I just don’t know why this person is so polite to Master Xie? Fu Bantuo must not believe Haoran is righteous and so on. But Master Dong is arrogant at first and respectful at the same time. There is always some reason. Does Master Xie have any backstage?
Fu Bantu glanced at Xie Hong and saw that he was still in a leisurely manner, he felt even more mysterious. Master Xie could take out the treasures of the music box, and it was not guaranteed that everyone would be after everyone. Otherwise, how could he be shocked by this smart owner Dong?
Xie Hong smiled and saw them pushing each other, but his heart was as bright as a mirror. He would ask for something when he gave up. Fu Banting respected him because of the member he gave up, and Mr. Dong was naturally because of what he said in Fujian.
Beizhuang County has only a few hundred households and a few thousand people. The Dong family’s large-scale business should not care about this market. Suddenly attacking the Zhang family is probably because of the Zhang family’s skills. Xie Hong was originally speculating and deceiving, but unexpectedly, the owner of Dong’s house happily accepted it.
Moreover, he worked tirelessly to travel around Fujian for the sake of Jingti. There were no trains and planes in this era, and it was not easy to travel thousands of miles. Xie Hong felt that this man was not like a businessman who was obsessed with greed, but rather like a technical maniac, which made him feel good.
Although the county is small, there are still restaurants. It is owned by a large local household in Beizhuang. This big family is surnamed Gu. It is the leading big family in Beizhuang. It has many industries in Beizhuang County. I heard that there are still people in Beijing who are officials, which is quite amazing.
Gu's Restaurant is not far from the county government office. It is a two-story building with clean front doors and elegant inside. Xie Hong had passed by the door before, but he had never been there before. He only heard that the price of wine and food here is not low. Xie Hong thought about it, so where was the cheaper place in the hotel in the next generation in the future?
A group of people were divided into two groups, a group of yamen runners and a farmer were in the lobby downstairs, and Xie Hong and four others were in the private room upstairs. The housekeeper didn't know where to go. Xie Hong thought it was someone else's family business, so he didn't ask much.
After a few greetings, Mr. Dong suddenly said in a deep voice: "Sir Xie, I have something to ask about, I don't know..." As he said that, he glanced at Fu Banto and Zhang Erniu next to him.
Fu Bantuo was very aware of it, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xie, Master Dong, you guys are talking. I'll take care of my brothers. These guys will go around without anyone taking care of them." As he said that, he went out and went downstairs.
Xie Hong patted Zhang Erniu on the shoulder and said to Master Dong: "Erniu is my brother, so you don't have to hide anything from him. Master Dong wants to ask about the Mind Ghost Railway, right?"
When the owner of Manor Dong heard Xie Hong talk about this, he immediately lost his calmness and cleverness as before. He leaned forward and stared at Xie Hong with his eyes tightly, saying, "Sir, do you know this secret method?"
It turns out that he is a technical maniac. Xie Hong also had such a spirit when he was studying art back then. He felt a little familiar. Xie Hong smiled knowingly and said, "Xie knows a little about the method of iron smelting. If Master Dong is interested, you and I might as well discuss it."
