Tongzhuang

It's been a while since I owed my debts, my reputation has gradually faded, and the guests are tired of seeing me, but now that Rui Ge's public marriage proposal happened, I became famous again, and the guests came flocking again, asking Study how my appearance is easy to get a peach blossom, and ask me how to earn a good fortune.The building is full every day again, the shopkeeper's face is full of smiles, and the abacus is loud every day, but because of the rules of the young master, he dare not raise the price of vegetables.

While I was dizzy, I remembered that there was another debt.

OMG, it's already the third day!If I don't contribute 20 taels of silver, that old man will probably make a fuss here!He's like someone who can do it.

No matter how I think about it, I feel that his potted flowers are not worth a lot of money, but since I think I'm unlucky, I'd better chip in honestly.Ah, luck!

I went to find the shopkeeper, he was discussing things with my elder brother.Seeing me coming, they stopped talking. "Shopkeeper, I...can you pay me some wages first?" I bite the bullet and said, thinking that it might be difficult.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper puffed up his eyes: "20 taels? What do you need so much money for?"

I groaned, unable to tell the truth.

The eldest brother spoke from the side: "Since it is urgently needed, I will give it to you."

"Young master!" the shopkeeper hurriedly dissuaded, "20 taels! It's not a small amount. Han Chun has become ambitious recently, causing trouble everywhere, and spending such a large amount of money. You can't keep him alone..."

"Of course I know, Uncle Qin, you don't have to worry about it." The eldest brother smiled, "My dear brother, come with me."

The eldest brother went back to the room and took 20 taels for me. I reached out to take it, but I felt very ashamed.The shopkeeper didn't wrong me when he said what I said.I didn't take my elder brother's advice to heart, and indeed caused a lot of trouble. "Thank you, brother! I will definitely pay back the money! I... I accidentally broke something belonging to him, so I..."

"Needless to say." The eldest brother said softly, "Just take it. It's just a few taels of silver, and I'll see you with the eldest brother. There is no need to pay it back."

"No, no, I must pay it back!" I was embarrassed to face the generosity of my elder brother, so I ran out after saying this.

When they arrived there, they were really ready to go, ready to go to Piaoxiang Building to ask for debts.I quickly sent the old man away with money, and then walked back listlessly.

20 taels!It would be a lie to say no heartache.I'll have to work another two years to pay back my brother.

After walking a few steps, he saw a familiar figure in front of him.Qi Feng!See him again!

I hated him very much at first, but since Rui Ge is fine, my anger has also disappeared.He raised his voice and called out: "Qi Feng!"

Qi Feng's figure seemed to stop for a while, but he still walked on his own, as if he didn't hear it.

I ran up to him and stood side by side with him: "You don't want to force Rui Ge anymore, do you?"

He didn't even look at me, and said coldly, "What does this have to do with you?"

I felt a little bit of his temper, and knew that he would sometimes get into trouble with people. I smiled and said, "Of course it has something to do with it. If you are willing to turn around, I am happy for you as a friend."

He said coldly, "Aren't you without me as a friend?"

"I said that if you force Ruige again, I won't have you as a friend. Now that you don't force her, of course we are still friends."

Qi Feng snorted.After a while he asked: "I heard that Rui Ge wants to marry you?"

He was so well informed that he found out so quickly.I said awkwardly: "She... said..."

Hearing this, he looked at me from the corner of his eyes and whispered: "No wonder."

I know he thinks that I will help her only because I want to marry Rui Ge.But when he spoke, his expression was contemptuous, with a hint of sarcasm, making this "no wonder" ten times more stinging than the "no wonder" of Shaodong's family.

I was so angry that I simply didn't answer him.I'm just looking for sex, okay?I just don't have any intentions, are you satisfied?Is it okay for me to be hypocritical just for the sake of beauty!

I didn't speak, but he talked too much, and asked again: "You don't stay in the building, what are you doing here?"

He reminded me in one sentence—yes, there is nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, that 20 taels of silver!It was he who smashed other people's flowers, which caused me to lose money... The culprit is right in front of me, and when I don't pursue it!

I reached out to him: "20 taels, here!"

"What 20 taels?" He asked puzzled.

"You did a good job! Last time around here, you knocked out other people's flowers and ran away first, causing me to pay you 20 taels. Pay me back!"

Qi Feng's eyes were fixed, and he thought back slightly, as if he remembered this matter.However, he immediately said: "What kind of flower costs 20 taels? In my impression, there is no potted flower nearby that can exceed one tael!"

I was shocked.There is no doubt that he is quite right.Oh my god, I forgot, Qi Feng is an expert in spices, and is very familiar with flowers and plants, so I don't need to look at them deliberately, and I can accurately estimate the value with a cursory glance.

I am silent.He said, "Have you been blackmailed?"

I am speechless.

He looked at me and said again: "You have been blackmailed and asked me for money?"

My face suddenly became hot, and I must have turned red. "Yes, I shouldn't be looking for you..." Hey, I'm so confused... This is the truth, how can I be cheated and asked to pay wrongly?I didn't dare to meet his gaze, so I hid myself and said haha, "Hey! No matter how much he pays, he's going to do something for a friend, and my mere taels of silver are nothing..."

Qi Feng suddenly said coldly: "You are doing this because you recognize your friend and abide by the morals of being a friend? In fact, you are unwilling, right? You don't really regard me as a friend at all, do you?"

I froze.For a moment, he couldn't find the words to answer.

Qi Feng snorted, and his face gradually turned ugly.

I quickly said: "No! I regard you as a friend... It's just that you can't do that well. I have taken care of you for you. Wouldn't it be the same next time? As a friend, I have to persuade you to change..." My tone Some faint.For some reason, I was in a rush to defend myself, even though I might be as he said.

"Sophistry." Qi Feng interrupted me rudely.

After a while of silence, he asked, "If it were Rui Ge, would you take care of her?"

I immediately smiled and said: "Ruige can't." How could Ruige smash other people's things with his temper.

"What if she does?" Qi Feng was persistent.

"I... will take care of her. She is a girl, and I am a man, so of course I have to take care of her... But I will talk about her afterwards." I glanced at him and said cautiously.

Qi Feng finally stopped asking questions.I breathed a sigh of relief: my friend was saved.He heard him say again: "What about 20 taels? Where did you get so much money?"

This is trivial.I replied easily: "I borrowed 20 taels from the young master."

"Borrow from him?" Qi Feng frowned, "How long will you have to go back? If you still can't make it, will you have to stay in the building and do things for him? You will really take advantage of the fire!"

I'm very upset that he said so badly about elder brother's character. "Stop talking nonsense! The young master said he didn't want me to pay it back, so why take advantage of it!... But, even if he is willing to give it to me, I will definitely pay it back."

Qi Feng frowned even tighter: "Are you going to stay there? Then when will you come to our Tongzhuang?"

It turned out that he had been doing it for this!After going around for a long time, it was just to lure me to Tongzhuang... He wanted me to do things for him, so he speculated about the young master's house with a villainous heart!I was angry: "I said it earlier! I can't climb high, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Qi Feng's face froze, and then he sneered: "That's right, you are the hero and righteous man who destroyed Tongzhuang, but you went to work in Tongzhuang instead. Isn't it a joke? Hmph!"

He left me and walked quickly. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and shoved something into my hand viciously: "Repay the money to me!"

I was stunned.Take a look: a silver ticket of 100 taels.Looking up again, Qi Feng had long since disappeared.
