"Master, they took the guest room stuff and went out." The old butler whispered, really disliked the Liu people.
In the past, the second house in Fengzhou was considered a well-known family, but now these people can do something stealing. Although there are some utensils in the guest room, those porcelain bottles and incense burners are not valuable, so they probably won’t be sold if they are sent to the pawn shop.
Twenty taels of silver.
If it were before, with the hatred of Wei Daru towards Liu and others, he would have asked the housekeeper to report the case to the yamen. But he thought of Zhan Feiyu's previous sentence: "I just like to see them hate me but can't kill me."
Wei Daru suddenly felt that this would relieve his hatred even more.
If Liu was arrested and beaten to the yamen, he would probably not even be beaten. If Liu blamed the charge on several children, he would probably not even be beaten.
Now they have lost twenty taels of silver, so that they can know how rich Tawei Tianqi is, but these silver, shops, yards and farms are added up to hundreds of thousands of taels, but they can't get a penny.
Looking at Wei Daru with a gloomy expression, the old butler was silent. Miss Zhan has been here for five days, why does it feel like the master has been taken to pieces? In the past, the master stayed in a closed door, was withdrawn and paranoid, but now he speaks, but he looks even more
It's scary.
Wei Daru sneered, his gloomy and cold eyes exuded a chilling fierceness, "Take someone to the largest shops in Fengzhou, buy all the jewelry and fabrics back. By the way, go to the pharmacy to buy some
Ginseng, deer antler Ganoderma lucidum is back, and you can buy as much as you want.”
Jewelry and clothes are for Zhanfeiyu. As for these medicinal materials, in addition to Zhanfeiyu, Wei Daru thought of the thin Honger, who also happened to replenish his body. What he lacked the least was silver!
Uh... the old housekeeper looked at his wealthy master speechlessly. He could already imagine how angry he would be when these things were sent tomorrow.
Qijia Villa.
After dinner, He Nuan brought up the pastries and fruits, and looked at Hong'er who was stubbornly sitting next to Zhan Feiyu and couldn't help laughing. The little guy was so clingy.
"Those people have moved into the Wei family. I think you and Qi Heng can go there together tomorrow." Zhan Feiyu rubbed his sore wrists and copied books continuously for five days, and his hands were about to be ruined.
The fat man Qi Heng nodded vigorously and looked at Hong'er sitting on the round stool. He was Xiaoyu's best friend, the kind who could help copy books.
Ming San looked at Zhan Feiyu and asked, "What are you going to do where Wei Daru?"
Adoption is impossible. Zhan Feiyu smiled sinister and cunningly, "I plan to convince Wei Daru to go to Nanxuan and just go to the academy to teach."
Ming San and Qi Heng were stunned. Can they still be like this?
"The books that have no library will be moved there." Zhan Feiyu said this shamelessly calmly, as if he had planned for Wei Daru. "And with Wei Daru's reputation in Fengzhou, I believe those craftsmen would have also
Willing to go there.”
Xiaoyu is so treacherous!
Ming San and Qi Heng were not convinced. In terms of scheming, the two juniors and nephews were not as good as Zhan Feiyu.
"Young Master." The servant walked quickly from the courtyard, holding a post in his hand. When he saw Qi Heng coming out, he quickly replied: "Young Master is sent by someone from the master's family."
Although Qi Heng was young, Qi's father did not hide the relationship between their family and the master. Although it was Mr. Qi who plotted against Qi's father, he could not be able to take the imperial examination. Later, Qi's father was driven out as a family division.
Fengzhou.
But if Qi's father could gain a foothold in Nanxuan Mansion, his business became bigger and bigger, and Mr. Qi's help was indispensable.
Once, Qi's father smashed a batch of goods, and the buyer urged him very much. Mr. Qi sent someone to send 10,000 taels of silver to Qi's father for his revolving operation. So the relationship is not clear, but it is true that it is
Break the bones and connect the tendons, and you will prosper and lose both.
Qi Heng opened the post and frowned. After all, he was only eight years old, so he could only look at Ming San, "My uncle, the third cousin of the master, Qi Yan, invited me to attend the Juwenzhai literary meeting tomorrow.
.”
"I'll just go copying books tomorrow." Ming San didn't care about missing a Qi Heng.
The little fat man is a member of the Qi family. Previously, Butler Bao, his daughter Bao Baozhu and son-in-law Jiang Wang were dealt with by the master's family and sent a butler over there. Ming San and his family were taken care of very well in their daily life.
"How is your relationship with Qi Yan?" Zhan Feiyu asked, and it always felt a bit inappropriate at this point in time.
It has been seven days since I moved into the Qi family villa. The people from the master did not come here, nor did they ask Qi Heng to return to the master's house to visit the elders. Zhan Feiyu had a conflict with Liu Baihu before, and there was no movement on the master's house.
, it’s no wonder Zhan Feiyu thought too much.
Qi Heng thought with a tense face, "Couple, my second cousin is very nice to me, grandpa and uncle are also good to me, and my third cousin is domineering and not as good as me in school, so I am not lukewarm to me.
”
When talking about Qi Yan, Qi Heng stood up proudly. He was the sixth place in the mansion exam. Qi Yan was ten years older than him and had not even passed the child exam.
"Maybe it's because of Xiaoyu, your identity has been exposed." Ming San looked at Zhan Feiyu, Xiaoyu was the key.
If Ming San had never looked down on Qi's family in the past, but now he has experienced a lot of things, he has seen through it thoroughly. It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. Liu Baihu broke his leg, and Qi's family would let Qi's family go.
When you come to the door, people mistakenly think that the Qi family wants to make the decision for Zhan Feiyu and become enemies with Liu Baihu.
But Zhan Feiyu was a disciple of Xueshi Gu, and Liu Baihu could only suffer this loss. If the Qi family had some backbone, it would not be possible to take the initiative to make friends with Zhan Feiyu at this time.
Therefore, we can only use a roundabout way to let Qi Yan take Qi Heng to attend the cultural conference. The next step may be to invite Xiaoyu to visit.
Looking at the thoughtful Zhan Feiyu, Qi Heng quickly expressed his opinion, "Little Fish, don't worry. Although the third cousin acts domineeringly, he just takes advantage of it."
"You will go with Asheng tomorrow." When facing Qi Heng's surprised expression, Zhan Feiyu smiled and said, "You must be careful of others. Liu Baihu dares not attack me, but he will inevitably attack you."
Thinking of Liu Baihu's cruel style of behavior, Ming San patted Qi Heng's head, "Listen to Xiaoyu, prevent trouble before it happens."
Thinking of the military horses that were tortured by Liu Baihu, Qi Heng became timid in an instant. Tomorrow, Japanese would definitely not leave Brother He.
...
On the second day, several troops divided into two groups, Zhan Feiyu and Ming San, Hong'er headed straight to Wei's house, while Qi Heng followed He Sheng to Juwenzhai.
As for Zhu Changyun, he was still studying with his head hanging from his beam and thorns. After all, after the fire broke out at home, he had no books to read, and wasted two months of time and wanted to make up for it now.
"Bah, I want to sell ten taels of silver for a few broken bottles, why don't you rob it?" At the door of the pawnshop, the servant shook his head in disgust, "Okay, Brother Li, drive all these poor people out, save the sacrificial sacrificial silence.
It delays our business."
Brother Li was a burly man. He grabbed Wei Zhiping's clothes and threw the person on the street like a chicken.
As for Liu and the two women who were making trouble, Brother Li waved his fists with a big mouth and successfully blocked their scolding.
Liu staggered and almost fell down. He looked at the servant who looked down at the dog's eyes and cursed, "Your dog's eyes are blind. I pawned a blue and white ribbon and moon bottle, and one can sell ten taels of silver.
There are two yellow, blue and white fine-mouthed bottles. If it weren't for urgent use, three bottles would have to be sold for at least twenty taels of silver!"
Liu was once the head mistress of the big house, and he still had the strength of his eyesight. The porcelain placed in the room was of average quality and craftsmanship. If you really wanted to buy it, you would have to pay for forty or fifty taels of silver. Now, it is definitely a low price to pawn for twenty taels.
The one who helped Liu was her youngest daughter Wei Wen. She is now a woman in her thirties. She started to scream and scold, "Give us back our bottles back, we won't sell them!"
Those who can start a pawnshop have some backgrounds. The servant on the stand sneered and looked at the four people in the white clothes with their clothes, "I have been delayed for so long, and I have said I have dried up, you can't say
If you pawn, don’t pawn it? Three bottles and five taels of silver are not enough, but you don’t have a penny!”
The servant spoke arrogantly and smashed the 5-liang small silver ingot into Liu's face, "Get out! I dare to delay our business again and interrupt your dog's legs!"
Liu was trembling with anger, but when he looked at the silver ingot that fell to the ground, he still bent down to pick it up, but he never thought that he was angry just now. When he bent down, Liu felt his eyes turn dark and his body suddenly turned
It fell ahead.
"Wow!" The groom immediately stopped the horse. Fortunately, it was a street market and the carriage was not fast, so he didn't hit anyone.
But even so, Liu, who fell to the ground, screamed in fright when he saw the horse's hooves raised high. His thin old face instantly pale, and even forgot the silver ingot in his hand.
The little beggar on the side quickly picked up the silver ingot and stuffed it into his arms, instantly rushed into the crowd and disappeared.
"Miss, don't worry, I didn't hit anyone." The coachman whispered.
In the carriage, Zhan Feiyu touched Hong'er's head comfortingly, and just now scared the little guy.
Suddenly, a sharp and harsh scream rang out. Although Liu was in his sixties, he was full of energy. "My silver? Which slut stole my silver!"
Hong'er, who had just been comforted, shook again and grabbed Zhan Feiyu's sleeve.
It was really a narrow road for enemies. Zhan Feiyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, but saw Liu still sitting on the ground and scolding like a tantrum.
The second son Wei Zhiping, who followed her to the pawn shop, and his wife Feng Shi, Wei Wen and Wei Ning, both cousins, didn't bother to shout and scold, so the few of them hurriedly looked for money on the ground.
A group of passers-by who were watching the fun on the street before also bowed their heads. This was five taels of silver, and the servants in the pawnshop only cost two taels of silver a month.
But everyone looked around and the small silver ingot of five taels disappeared flat.
"Stop looking for it, I guess I've been picked up by someone long ago. That's five taels of silver, which is worth three months' wages for my man." An aunt grabbed the companion beside her who was still looking for.
"My money!" Liu slapped his thigh and cried.
The second house of the big house has been relying on pawning dowry, washing clothes for people, and doing some sewing and repairing work to barely be able to fill your stomach. Five taels of silver is enough for them to save money for three months.
The servant of the pawn shop was too lazy to care about this matter and spoke directly to Wei Zhiping: "It's your own business to give you money, and it's your own business if you lose it. Get out of here, don't delay our business at the door."
Brother Li, who was standing aside, was still fierce and fierce, which scared Wei Zhiping to tremble for a few times.
"You are not allowed to leave! Pay my money for compensation!" Liu suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed the shaft of the carriage, and shouted loudly, "Why did you drive the carriage? I was hit and hurt me, causing me to lose my money.
, pay the money!”
Wei Zhiping and others did not dare to play against the pawnshop, and the four of them surrounded the carriage.
"Yes, pay for money. You hit my mother. If you don't have twenty taels of silver, don't think about leaving!" Wei Wen shouted,
Nowadays, those who can ride a carriage are people who are not short of money. Liu's family is afraid of being poor and doesn't care about their face anymore. As long as they can get money, they can do it.
Liu was old and his hair was scattered and he grabbed the shaft of the carriage with a tantrum. The driver took a look and didn't speak or take action.
"Is this going to blackmail in broad daylight?" Zhan Feiyu poked out of the carriage and looked at the Liu family and the others who were trolling with a smile. "You fell down and shocked my horse, and you looked at it with so many eyes.
Or do you want to go to the yamen?”
"Is it you?" Liu's face twisted with ferociousness, and he looked at Zhan Feiyu with a graceful smile.
When she thought of her adoption to Wei Daru and her hundreds of thousands of dollars belonged to her, Liu, who was gritting her teeth, wished she could tear Zhan Feiyu away.
Wei Wen didn't expect such a coincidence, but she was no longer the youngest daughter of the big house. She had suffered all these years and had lost her spoiledness, leaving only a bit of shrewdness.
"Miss Zhan, no matter what, my mother almost got hit by your carriage. Not to mention the injury on her body when she fell, my mother is still sixty years old. She was frightened at this age and might get seriously ill."
Wei Wen wiped her tears with her rough hands and looked at Zhan Feiyu on the carriage pitifully and cried poorly.
"Miss Zhan, you can do it. Give us a few taels of silver. Our things were occupied by the pawn shop, and five taels of silver were picked up. My mother didn't even have the money to treat medical treatment and take medicine. There were six or seven in the house.
Children can only drink water to fill their stomachs." Wei Wen showed weakness, and Wei Ning and Feng Shi were crying.
In contrast, Zhan Feiyu sat in a spacious carriage. The little girl was wearing a pink skirt today, her hair was braided from her temples, and then tied it to the back of her head, and a circle of pink pearl headdresses were worn.
With her pretty facial features with red lips and white teeth, she is obviously a wealthy lady.
Liu was old and as old as a dead tree bark, Wei Wen's three women were washed with white clothes, and they didn't even have a decent headdress on their heads. They thought that they had just lost five taels of silver.
, everyone couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"This is five taels of silver." Zhan Feiyu took out the broken silver from his purse, looked at him and snatched it, and Liu, who was full of greed, said again: "There is no more, don't force me to report to the official."
"You?" Liu clasped the money in his hand and thought Zhan Feiyu was easy to bully. After all, he was just a spoiled little girl. Not to mention twenty taels, maybe two hundred taels could be cheated.
"Let's go, who dares to stop the carriage and whip it directly? Even if it hits and dies, it deserves it. I don't have to pay any money, I can afford it." Zhan Feiyu still smiled, but the words he said made people chill.
.
Whether it was Liu, Wei Zhiping, Wei Wen and the others, they only felt a chill spreading from the soles of their feet, and the summer actually felt a gloomy chill.
The coachman raised his whip and swished. The sound of the whip cutting through the air scared Liu backwards. The carriage drove forward again, but the fear of death Liu and his men did not dare to stop him again.
