Xia Xun stepped aside to avoid the sight of the crazy women at the door, and waved to the two Zhu brothers. When they saw him, they hurriedly arranged their clothes and tied their belts and walked towards him.
Zhu Zhihou straightened his hat and said angrily: "Mr. Yang, what's going on in front of your house? Why is it more lively than a vegetable market?"
Xia Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to either. The crowd in front of the door includes matchmakers, some introduce girls from good families to be my concubines, and some people come to sell maids and maids. I didn't expect that I would even come here."
Being a maid has become the most popular occupation in Qingzhou..."
Zhu Zhichun said angrily, "I lost all my most profitable stores. How can I get a good reputation in exchange for such a waste of money? Who are you talking to?"
"Second brother!"
Zhu Zhihou scolded and winked at his younger brother, and then Zhu Zhichun shut up angrily.
Zhu Zhihou changed his smile and said to Xia Xun: "Mr. Yang, this time, our brothers are here on the orders of our father."
Xia Xun said calmly: "Oh?"
Zhu Zhihou said with some difficulty: "This... about last time..., ahem, our brothers were also a little bit arrogant in desperation..."
Xia Xun said with a smile but not a smile: "Whether you are reckless or not, it doesn't matter to me. The problem is with Prince Qi. If the prince has no objection, I will naturally not do anything wrong for myself..."
A flash of anger flashed across Zhu Zhihou's face, he held it back, and then said: "According to Mr. Yang's words, what should we do about this matter?"
It turned out that Xia Xun was carrying Xiaodi home that day, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two brothers, Zhu Zhihou and Zhu Zhichun, with a group of servants. They got a tip from the little maid and came to arrest their sister Zhu Shanbi and seduce her to run away from home.
When Cui Yuanlie was eloping, Steward Xiao led his men to stop them, so they started fighting, breaking a lot of things. However, taking advantage of the delay, Steward Xiao asked people to take Cui Yuanlie and Zhu Shanbi away first.
He took it away without being caught by the Zhu brothers.
When Xia Xun came back, Manager Xiao was about to ask someone to go to the government office to sue them for breaking into a house. Xia Xun was anxious because of Xiaodi's injury. When he saw this, he became furious.
The family first sent Xiaodi into the room, and then asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and treatment quickly, and then went out to deal with the matter in person. Xia Xun did not argue with them or fight with them. He wandered around his house for a while.
He circled around to see what was broken, then turned around and entered the study.
Half an hour later, a terrifying list of claims was grandly released: the pen used by Qin Hui, the knife used by Di Qing, the washbasin used by Concubine Yang, the bench where An Lushan sat on, and the green bricks on the wall of Huo Qubing's house
, the leather condom tied around the neck of his little yellow dog that Li Si mentioned when he was cut in half...
They are all antiques!
You do not believe?
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. These are all antiques purchased for Prince Qi. They haven't been sent to you yet. If you don't believe it, go ask Prince Qi.
When this bill was delivered to Zhu's mansion, Mr. Zhu Wenhao almost lost his temper when he saw it.
He couldn't afford to offend the King of Qi! He knew clearly that Yang Xu was blackmailing people, but there was nothing he could do about it. The King of Qi just acted like a rogue a few days ago, pretending to transfer land and extort money from the wealthy gentry in Qingzhou.
With so much money, how could Zhu Wenhao dare to believe in King Qi’s character? If this lawsuit was really going to go before King Qi, King Qi would definitely step up to the plate and insist that these smashed rags were antiques, and he was the one who paid for them.
The antiques that came back would definitely make Zhu Wenhao bankrupt.
The eldest daughter he had raised for more than ten years ran away with someone, and was blackmailed into a bad debt. Master Zhu was holding his breath and angry, but he couldn't do anything about Xia Xun's blatant blackmail. In anger, Master Zhu beat him twice first
After giving his son a meal, he led the two troublemakers straight to Walnut Garden Village in Qingzhou to settle accounts with the elders of the Cui family.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yuanlie has been hiding in Yang's house with Miss Zhu for the past few days, not even daring to go out. Old Mrs. Cui is worried about not being able to find his precious grandson. After hearing a few words from Mr. Zhu, Old Mrs. Cui ran back to the house.
He took out his dragon-head crutch and beat Mr. Zhu with his beard and glare. He only said that the adopted daughter of the Zhu family was unscrupulous and had seduced his precious grandson to run away from home. He demanded that the Zhu family return his grandson, otherwise they would drag him to the Golden Palace.
Report to the emperor.
Only then did Mr. Zhu realize that he had hit an iron plate. Unexpectedly, Mr. Cui had a great background. Mr. Cui gave him a cane in one fell swoop. He didn't even dare to fight back, so he had to flee. Mr. Zhu returned home in disgrace and made careful plans.
After waiting for several days, he finally realized two facts: first, if Yang Xu refused to let go, he would owe the money and he would bankrupt his family and not be able to pay it back; second, even if that little bastard of the Cui family gave him his precious
His daughter was abducted and would come back with a fat boy in the future. As long as the old man from the Cui family didn't die, he couldn't do anything to Cui Yuanlie.
So, Mr. Zhu finally decided: I can bear with the knocking out of my teeth and swallowing blood! As long as Yang Xu can show his noble hand and pull out the ridiculous claim form, as long as he can get the girl who cheated on her completely, this matter will be solved.
Zhu Zhihou's brother turned the big things into trivial matters and the trivial matters were forgotten, so brother Zhu Zhihou came to the Yang family again.
After these two lobbyists, who didn't look like lobbyists at all, explained their purpose of coming, Xia Xun smiled: "You two, those antiques are indeed purchased for Prince Qi. However, Prince Qi only said that the new prince's palace
It is being built. Once it is completed, we have to put some decent antiques in it. I have not specified what should be put there. Yuan Lie and I have a very close friendship. It can be said that we have a life-long friendship. As the saying goes, brothers are like brothers, and money is not the only thing outside the body.
, if the Zhu family and the Cui family become in-laws, I naturally can’t embarrass my good friend’s father-in-law and uncle for trivial things, don’t you think?”
Zhu Zhichun was angry at Bullfighting and glared: "You..."
Zhu Zhihou grabbed him and laughed twice: "I understand, Mr. Yang means, presumably Cui Yuanlie means?"
Xia Xun smiled but did not answer. Zhu Zhihou nodded and said, "Okay, I will inform my father when I get back. My father still needs to decide on this matter."
Xia Xun said with a smile: "If that's the case, I won't give it away. I'll just wait for the good news."
As soon as Brother Zhu Zhihou left, Xia Xun hurriedly left the hall, leaving Manager Xiao to continue fending off those enthusiastic women. He slipped out from the side door of Yang Mansion. In the dark, Brother Zhu Zhihou watched secretly. When he saw Xia Xun
After sneaking out of the door, Zhu Zhichun touched his fist and said angrily: "I'll tell you, the little sister and the boy named Cui must have been hidden by him. You see, he must have reported to Cui Yuanlie.
"
Zhu Zhihou said: "Calm down, have you forgotten what dad taught you? If you hadn't been too impulsive last time, how could we have tricked Yang? Shut your mouth and just go and find out where the little girl is hiding."
Wherever you are, go back and tell dad, and dad will make the decision."
The two brothers said and crept up quietly. Xia Xun didn't notice anyone following him. He zigzagged to a secluded alley. There was a house on the side of the wall. Xia Xun looked around and pushed the door open and stepped in.
, the Zhu brothers who were hiding in the corner quickly followed.
In the room, Cui Yuanlie and Xia Xun stood in the hall talking. Cui Yuanlie said: "Thank you so much, brother Wenxuan. If it weren't for brother Wenxuan's help, I really don't know what to do."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "As the saying goes: It is better to destroy ten temples than tear down a family. It is also a meritorious deed to be able to make a good brother, haha. I heard what they said, and they have already loosened up. Maybe Mr. Zhu
You will change your mind, and besides, although your Cui family is not as good as the Zhu family, it is not far behind. You are a member of a clean family, and your future is limitless. Your grandfather is also extremely favored by the current saint. In terms of family background, you are considered a good match.
What's more, you and Miss Zhu are in love with each other."
Outside the door, the Zhu brothers clenched their teeth as they listened to the crack in the door. If Zhu Zhihou hadn't repeatedly signaled with his eyes, Zhu Zhichun would have kicked the door with his legs.
Cui Yuanlie asked: "Then...should I tell my grandfather and ask him to send someone to come to propose marriage?"
Xia Xun groaned and said, "Okay, so your father-in-law can have a step down."
Cui Yuanlie was worried about gain and loss and said: "Brother Wenxuan, do you think the Zhu family will agree? If he doesn't agree..."
Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "Yuan Lie, it is a crime to coerce a girl from a good family to elope. It might damage your reputation. If he doesn't agree, Miss Zhu must be sent back."
The two people outside the door were overjoyed when they heard this, and Xia Xun sneered and said: "We are going to be a family in the future, so you should give him some dignity, Mr. Zhu, but if he doesn't agree, I don't think you need to beg him.
.Anyway, Miss Zhu has become yours, and after several rounds of affection, she may have become pregnant. You might as well send Miss Zhu back heartlessly, and see if he can catch up by then.
I beg you to marry his daughter, why don’t you come to ask for her hand in hand?"
When the Zhu brothers outside the door heard this, they staggered and their heads immediately hit each other. Their faces turned dark, but they did not dare to say a word. They just covered their heads and listened. Cui Yuanlie said: "This... this is not the case."
Isn't that great? Once it gets publicized, my father-in-law will be completely embarrassed."
Xia Xun said disapprovingly: "He is unkind, so you are unjust."
Zhu Zhihou couldn't listen anymore after hearing this. He hurriedly signaled to his brother to turn around and leave. Xia Xun and Cui Yuanlie were still talking to each other in the room. Suddenly there was a slight cough outside the door, and Peng Ziqi pushed
He opened the door and walked in. His smiling eyes glanced at the two of them and said, "Okay, no need to act, the darlings have left."
After hearing this, Cui Yuanlie took a long breath and sat down on the chair. Xia Xun raised a cup of herbal tea. Peng Ziqi smiled, her charming eyes flicked to Xia Xun, and said angrily: "You, you...
It's also unethical to use such a method. If Mr. Zhu doesn't fall for it, how will Miss Zhu handle herself?"
Alas! This little girl is obviously still dressed in men's clothing, but her expression and tone are no longer concealing the fact that she is a girl. If this continues, I wonder if Xia Xun, who has already had a mixed reputation in Qingzhou, will
Another one with the bad reputation of being good at Long Yang and having a habit of cutting sleeves...
