Mingzhu was still staring at Boss Chen closely, and she was still asking Tang Lizi word by word. She deliberately kept her voice very slow so that Boss Chen and his wife could hear every word she said clearly:
"Are we afraid of government inquiries about our money?"
"Of course I'm not afraid," Li Zi puffed up his chest, "We earned this money ourselves. If the government investigates, we can call Miss Fu'er and the others as witnesses."
"Is it in line with the laws of the Tang Dynasty to use money to redeem one's life?"
"of course."
"If we beat the couple severely now and then smash up their home, how will the government punish us?"
"This." This really confused Li Zi. He didn't understand the relevant laws, but when he thought about the abuse he had suffered in the Chen family over the years, and then thought about the new life full of hope, Li Zi couldn't help but feel passionate.
: "If we don't kill anyone, we will just be imprisoned for a few years!"
"Are you afraid of going to jail?"
"I'm not afraid," Li Zi said loudly. "In prison, you are not allowed to go out and you will be beaten. Here, you are not allowed to go out casually and you will be beaten. But in prison, you don't have to work. You still have to work here. In prison, you can
If I have enough to eat, if I don’t have enough to eat here, I would rather go to prison!"
"Okay," Mingzhu's eyes were filled with flames, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's fight!"
Not to mention the thrilling redemption of Mingzhu and the two of them here, let me first talk about an incident that happened in the jewelry shop where Mingzhu sold jewelry.
In a very quiet and gorgeous house behind the jewelry store, the shopkeeper and the owner of the jewelry store were sitting. In front of them were gold and silver jewelry and handicrafts made of pearls.
The boss looked at each item one by one. He had been looking at it over and over again for a long time. Finally, he put down the jewelry in his hand and let out a long breath, as if his chest had been pressed down by a big stone just now.
Same as:
"These styles definitely don't come from the Central Plains," the owner said.
"Yes, I have checked our secret jewelry sample catalog in detail. There are all the famous jewelry styles on the market in the past hundred years, as well as some jewelry styles from previous dynasties. But these jewelry and sample catalogs
Everything up there is so different.”
The boss’s eyes are always fixed on those jewelry:
"Could it be that someone from the Fang family is really here?"
"I asked them, but the little girl refused to tell. But I always felt that the little girl's courage and courage were extraordinary, and she was also smart and astute. She could not be an ordinary maid." The shopkeeper frowned,
He seemed to be recalling Mingzhu's every word and action.
"But, the Fang family in the Western Region is so rich that they can't match other countries. Why do they use jewelry to exchange for a house?" But before the shopkeeper could answer his question, the boss continued, "But they are the Fang family, and the Fang family always does things so weirdly.
It’s something that everyone can’t figure out.”
"Yes," the shopkeeper nodded, "Then boss, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
"It's good that you agreed to help her find a house," the boss praised. "If we only use silver to buy jewelry, then we only have a business relationship with them. But now we help them buy a house, then we are
As long as we are friends, the Fang family in the Western Region will never treat their friends badly."
"yes."
"Where did you find the house for them?"
"It's a house on West Street."
"West Street." The owner pondered, "The location there is not very good. Doesn't that little girl want a good location?"
"It's not really the best, but it's okay. After all, this is Chang'an, where every inch of land is precious. Most of the better places are occupied by the royal family. Moreover, her jewelry is only enough to buy
Such a house."
"You are very thoughtful and do a good job, but now I have this idea."
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"Don't we have a house in the back garden adjacent to Linzi Prince's Mansion?"
"Ah!" the shopkeeper exclaimed, "Isn't the owner going to sell that house to them?" No wonder the shopkeeper was so surprised. It turned out that the house the owner mentioned used to be the residence of a high-ranking official.
As soon as the courtyard was built and decorated, the senior official committed a crime and was arrested. The senior official's family pawned and sold all their property and returned to their hometown. Because the senior official's family members were eager to sell at that time, the price was very suitable.
I bought it and built it carefully. Now I have just arranged the furniture and everything. So the shopkeeper never expected that the owner would mention this house.
The shopkeeper thought about it in his mind and said:
"But even if the owner wants to give this house away, they can't afford it!"
The owner’s expression was a bit unfathomable:
"If they can't afford it, give it to them."
"Ah!" The shopkeeper was even more surprised.
But the owner’s attitude was always very calm:
"Didn't you say that these jewelry are worth 70% of the house payment? There is no need to change this. Just ask her to deliver the remaining 30% of the house price within ten days."
"But..." The shopkeeper wanted to say something else.
But his boss interrupted him:
"You don't need to say it anymore. I sincerely use this house to make them friends. Have you forgotten who the best friend of the Fang family in the Western Region is?"
"yes--"
"Shh, you just need to know. It's about the royal family, so there's no need to say it. Now, there's so much chaos in the court, so many people are thinking about this country, and the sudden appearance of the Fang family may have something to do with this matter. Have you forgotten?
Have you heard what the legend says? Even if the Fang family members ascend to heaven, if something happens to that family, they will come back regardless of the cost."
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded respectfully, as if he was not surprised at all why his boss was so interested in national affairs. He just said:
"My boss, have you ever thought about a question? What if they are not the Fang family? Then shouldn't we just give away a house for free?"
"Of course I have. Regarding this issue, I think this way. Even if they are not from the Fang family in the Western Regions, with this little girl's craftsmanship, they are worthy of our friendship. From your description, that little girl is a smart person.
A reasonable person, that boy is also an upright and honest person. You will not suffer any loss when dealing with such a person. If you treat them well, they will definitely repay you double. When the time comes, if they can provide us with exclusive jewelry
, then we can earn back this house soon."
This time, the shopkeeper really breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he thought sincerely:
'After all, I am the boss, and I think about things thoughtfully.'
