"Master, I want Chen Ji's string of jade beads. I even have that little vixen. She was showing off to me yesterday..."
The next morning, although it was already three o'clock in the morning, in the Xue family's mansion in Tieniu Town, Mr. Xue Dashan still did not get up and was smoking his pipe comfortably.
However.
Next to him, the concubine in the thirteenth room who he had just taken into the house not long ago did not want him to be so comfortable. She was doing her best to act coquettishly towards Mr. Xue Dashan.
"Chen Ji, that string of jade beads costs thirty taels of silver?"
Even though Mr. Xue Dashan dotes on this new concubine who is as delicate as a little oriole, he is very clear in settling accounts. When he heard the request of the thirteenth concubine, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Oh, sir, it's only thirty taels of silver. That naughty fox in the twelfth room deserves twenty-five taels of silver..."
During the conversation.
The thirteenth-year-old concubine has already begun to use her trump card...
This made Xue Dashan very uncomfortable and could only pinch his nose and say:
"Okay, okay, isn't it just a string of beads? Buy it, buy it, let's just buy it."
"Wow."
"I love you so much..."
"Sir, the second housekeeper of Liuji Trading Company in Fengcheng is here and wants to see you for something important..."
Just when Xue Dashan and the thirteenth concubine were about to make firewood, an urgent report from the housekeeper suddenly came from outside.
"Um?"
Xue Dashan suddenly frowned in displeasure.
What is this second housekeeper of the Liu family doing here at this time?
Could it be.
Are you going to be that old parent’s lobbyist?
Then Xue Dashan couldn't help but smile.
My old parents have been officials for so many years, how come they are still as naive as children? Do you really think that Mr. Xue Dashan only has the Liu family business?
but.
Even though he was unhappy and disdainful of Zhao Bingchun's manipulation, Xue Dashan still asked the thirteenth concubine to help her get up quickly.
after all.
No matter how eccentric he is inside, even Xue Dashan doesn't dare to neglect matters of face.
otherwise.
That would really make him a public enemy.
Although the Thirteenth Aunt was unhappy at this time, she did not dare to lose her temper at this time and hurriedly got up to help Mr. Xue Dashan change his clothes.
"Hey, little goblin, wait, I will come back to deal with you later!"
After finishing cleaning up, Xue Dashan pinched the Thirteenth Concubine's waist hard, and then walked out proudly.
"Who is afraid of whom? Master, I'm waiting for you..."
However, the Thirteenth Concubine was not a light-hearted person, so she immediately provoked Mr. Xue Dashan in a coquettish way.
This made Xue Dashan almost stagger, and he quickly sped up his pace, waiting to come back and deal with the little goblin when he was done.
…
"Second Master, why do you have time to come to my little brother's place? Come on, come on, please take a seat, someone, come here, serve tea, serve good tea!"
soon.
Xue Dashan saw the Liu family's second housekeeper in the living room and hurriedly came up to ask for help.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Butler Liu smiled and said:
"Master Xue, in addition to the little things I mentioned just now, my master has one more important thing to ask the child before he comes. I heard that Master Xue, you seem to have some unpleasantness with Li Yuanjing and Li Shusheng from Quanzi Village?"
You must have guessed the purpose of Butler Liu’s visit a long time ago!
But at this time, waiting for Butler Liu to say these words, Xue Dashan still felt unspeakably unhappy.
But there was a smile on his face:
"Second Master, what are you talking about? It's not like you don't understand me, Xue Mang. No matter what you say, I, Xue Mang, am also an ambitious person. How can I be so dirty with a mere poor scholar? You really look down on me."
"hehe."
Butler Liu Er could not help but smile:
"Master Xue, I can certainly trust your character. In this case, Master Xue, the words have been brought here, so I will take my leave!"
Said.
Butler Liu Er bowed to Xue Dashan deeply and left quickly without looking back.
"Hey, Second Master..."
Xue Dashan was suddenly shocked. Who would have thought that Butler Liu, who usually took advantage of him, would dare to be so wanton at this time?
But seeing that Butler Liu was almost at the entrance of the courtyard at this time, he was too lazy to chase after him and sneered:
"Pooh!"
"What the hell are you doing? You don't even urinate and take photos, what the hell are you?!"
"Do you really think that this year will be the same as in previous years, that I, Xue Mang, will ask you, the Liu family, to buy my food? Huh! With the situation this year, it's not certain who will ask for whom!"
Mr. Xue Dashan cursed for a while, and then he lost some of his anger and was about to return to the back house.
But this time.
The housekeeper came again to report urgently:
"Master, the man from the county is here with him..."
"Um?"
"Who is it?"
Xue Dashan was clever and asked quickly.
The housekeeper hurriedly said:
"That's right, the one from the county magistrate's family..."
"grass!"
"You idiot, why didn't you tell me clearly earlier? Please, please, no, I will go and invite you myself!"
Xue Dashan had no time to think about other things and hurriedly rushed out of the yard.
…
"Forehead?"
"Mr. Zhou, are you saying that Li Yuanjing can't move now?"
Not long after.
Xue Dashan looked at this person with a little humble respect and said carefully.
The visitor took a sip of tea and said:
"That's pretty much what I mean. Then Shusheng Li's background is even better than you think. Okay, Mr.
"Ai……"
I wanted to say something pity Xue Dashan, but the people who came here didn't even bother to look at Xue Dashan again and left quickly.
"This fake bald guy!!!"
Xue Dashan's teeth were about to be broken, but just as he was about to continue scolding, the housekeeper hurriedly came to retaliate:
"Sir, there are envoys coming from both the county captain and the registrar..."
"What?"
Even though Mr. Xue Dashan had already seen big scenes, dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water, but he never thought...
This way.
Just as the county magistrate left, the county captain and the bookkeeper came hand in hand...
It's okay now.
The three teams of the county government are about to gather together.
Has Mr. Xue Dashan stirred up a hornet's nest?
But he didn't have time to be dazed at this time, so he hurriedly greeted:
"Quick, come with me to invite distinguished guests!"
…
"thump!"
A quarter of an hour later, when the county captain and the bookkeeper were sent away, Xue Dashan seemed to have been drained of all his strength and sat down on the chair, his whole body already dripping with cold sweat.
How can he still have the energy to flirt with his delicate Thirteenth Aunt?
He originally thought that Murong Mubai had already left, and he was afraid that Li Yuanjing, a poor scholar, would have been forgotten long ago.
And Zhao Bingchun is about to be promoted, so he will definitely not pay attention to this trivial matter.
But how could I have imagined that...
This moment.
Not only did the powerful Liu family stand up for Li Yuanjing, but the bosses of the third class of the county government actually came together to stand up for Li Yuanjing...
Although he, Xue Dashan, is a tough guy, he is not a fool after all.
He temporarily offended one of these forces, but it was just insignificant. After a while, everyone sat down, had a drink and talked in detail, and the matter was over.
But at this time.
If he, Xue Mang, dared not to open his eyes, but also offended the third class of the county government and the big tycoons in the county like the Liu family...
Even if you think about Xue Mang with your buttocks, you will know.
After all, he will be pinned to the ground by everyone working together...
Who would have thought…
Li Yuanjing was just a poor scholar, but he went to the county town and had such a terrifying influence...
Think about it for a moment.
Xue Mang couldn't sit still anymore, swallowed his saliva and said hastily:
"Quick, send someone to inform Leng Shansan's family that all plans are temporarily cancelled!"
"Also, prepare a generous gift for so-and-so, no less than ten taels of silver! Bring more meat and half a roe deer! So-and-so is going to Quanzi Village to visit that scholar Li!"
