"Rui'er, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to come to the door rashly." The father and son were sitting in the front hall of the Wang family compound in the east of Song County. Mr. Wang looked at his son Wang Zirui with some hesitation.
"Dad, it's okay. I just bought it again." Wang Zirui said nonchalantly, "Besides, the family doesn't have any background. They are just a little girl from the countryside. Just give them some money and let them go."
"That's not necessarily true. He is young, but he bought two Zhuangzi at once. This is not something that a simple child can do. Maybe we can't find out his background." Mr. Wang is not like that.
It’s as simple as my son thought. Since
In autumn, I accidentally passed by the former Zhuangzi and found that not only the name of Zhuangzi had changed to Anyuan, but also that the rice grew surprisingly well. Wang Zirui was interested. However, Mr. Wang always felt that this was not appropriate, but he could not persuade him.
The son gave up his mind.
Lin Zhu's An Yuan was bought from the Wang family in Song County. At that time, his family sold the village because they were in urgent need of money. Now that the family's situation is much better, the Wang family's son wants to buy the village back. In fact, he
I heard about that Zhuangzi
The crops on the land were growing very well, so they started to think about it again. In addition, the price was a bit low when it was sold, and the person who bought the land had no background, so the Wang family asked someone from the dental industry at that time to inquire.
The buyer’s situation.
"Dad, don't worry, my son will have a good talk with her." Wang Zirui said confidently. "Besides, there are many people who are plotting against Zhuangzi. If we don't strike first, it will be too late."
In Wang Zirui's view, Lin Zhu definitely couldn't keep it.
That piece of land. There are many rich and powerful people in Song County. For them, buying a piece of land from a countryman is not a trivial matter. If you don't want to, find a few more people to cause trouble there.
You have to give up the land obediently.
After Zhang Manyun went to the magistrate's house to meet Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhu returned to Linjia Village after knowing that Dong Yuzhen was fine. But Lu Mingtao did not go back with him. Instead, he did some things in Song County and then returned to the capital. Lin
Before leaving, she naturally said hello to Lin Zhu and others, and reassured Lin Zhu that she no longer had to worry about matters in Song County, and matters in the capital would be taken care of for her.
Before the Wang family came to the door, Niu Dahu came to Lin Zhu first. He did not come to the door unreasonably like Li Dabai's housekeeper, but instead asked his servants to send greetings. After receiving a positive reply, he set a date.
Got to the door.
"Mr. Niu, please." Chang Tianlei opened the door and led him to the front hall. "Thank you so much, little brother." Niu Dahu was slightly stunned when he saw Chang Tianlei at first, and then returned to his normal state.
Doubts settled in my heart. I followed him into the front hall.
At this time, Lin Zhu and Dr. Zhang were sitting in the front hall waiting for the arrival of Mr. Niu. He had sent greetings from him. Lin Zhu had a good impression of him. At least this man did not have a condescending attitude or an aggressive manner.
.Steward Zhang and Chang Shi were also accompanying him.
As soon as Mr. Niu entered the front hall and saw old doctor Zhang, he had some preconceptions that he was the owner of Fuzhuang, so he greeted him first and said, "I believe this is the owner of Fuzhuang. Niu has the temerity to interrupt."
How offending."
"Haha, Mr. Niu is too polite. Please take a seat." Old Doctor Zhang smiled, "But I am not the owner of Fu Village, my god-granddaughter is." He pointed to Lin Zhu standing aside.
"Master Niu is here, and it's a long way to welcome him." Lin Zhu gave Niu Dahu a blessing. "Haha, Niu is really old and dim, and the girl is really young and promising." Although Niu Dahu was stunned for a moment, he was not just starting out after all.
The young man reacted immediately and smoothed things over.
"She is a junior, Master Niu, please don't break her." Old Doctor Zhang had a good impression of him. "Please sit down."
"Then I won't be polite. Haha." After saying that, Niu Dahu sat down under the old doctor Zhang.
"I have long heard that Mr. Niu is from one of the most wealthy families in Song County. I wonder why you are so wealthy and humble today." Lin Zhu, as the host, was the first to raise his doubts.
"Haha, then I'll get straight to the point." Niu Dahu didn't see Lin Zhu's rejection of him, and he felt a little happy. "I passed by Guizhuang a few days ago, and fortunately Zhao Zhuangtou gave me some
I tried making chili several times when I got home. I have to say that although not everyone can eat this chili, I think it is really enjoyable and delicious. I have to thank Ms. Lin for Niu to taste this delicious food.
taste."
"Master Niu, you're welcome. To be honest, many people have these chili peppers in their homes. I just don't know how to eat them, I just use them for appreciation." Lin Zhu knew from the moment he came that it was for the chili peppers.
"No, no, no," Niu Dahu shook his head, "Niu's granddaughter also planted some peppers as decorations. I also picked some and tasted them. They were not as good as Miss Lin's peppers. They were just dry and spicy.
It's a bit choking, and it's easy to get angry after eating it. The dishes made with the peppers in Miss Lin's Zhuangzi are spicy and not irritating at all. Compared with ordinary peppers, it's just a little bit better."
Lin Zhu looked at Niu Dahu, but he didn't expect him to be so frank. Not only did he praise the peppers produced in his village, but he actually compared them with ordinary peppers. Despite his careless appearance, he didn't expect that he was so thoughtful.
Very delicate.
"Thank you, Mr. Niu, for the compliment." Lin Zhu looked exactly like a copy, which made Mr. Niu secretly surprised. He knew this, so he sold it for such a high price.
"So, I'm here to discuss with Miss Lin whether you can sell me some pepper seeds?" Big boss Niu also didn't hide his purpose. Sometimes it's better to be honest than to beat around the bush.
Lin Zhu and Dr. Zhang looked at each other, and they both had the same expressions. "Logically speaking, Mr. Niu thinks so highly of me, I shouldn't take Qiao." Lin Zhu's face was calm, and he was not disturbed by Niu Dahu's words.
Moved. "It's just that all the harvests in my village have been contracted with Muyue Trading Company, and peppers of this quality must not be leaked."
Mr. Niu was a little startled after hearing this, and felt a little unhappy for a moment. But he could not refute it.
"However, if Mr. Niu doesn't mind, I can provide some of these second-generation seeds. However, the quality of these peppers is definitely not as good as that of our Zhuangzi peppers, but it is worse than ordinary peppers." Mr. Niu, who was originally a little disappointed, heard this. Lin Zhu's heart suddenly relaxed after saying this.
"I wonder what the difference will be?" Mr. Niu is in business after all, and the quality of the goods determines the price, so it's understandable to ask more clearly.
"I also have some high-quality peppers here. You can take some back, taste them, and compare them with those special peppers." Lin Zhu also understood that he would have this question, "What Zhao Da gave you are special peppers."
"Oh," Mr. Niu's eyes lit up, "Thank you so much, Miss Lin."
After a while, Chang Shi took some high-quality chili peppers and gave them to Niu Dahu. Niu Dahu said "thank you" and took it. He inadvertently looked up at Chang Shi and was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chang Shi blankly.
Ten, "You are?"
Chang Shi was baffled by Mr. Niu's reaction. He also looked at Mr. Niu carefully, and suddenly felt that this man looked familiar. "I seem to have seen you somewhere, right?"
"Niu also thinks you look familiar." Niu Dahu stood up and looked at Chang Shi. One of them is sixty years old, and the other is about forty years old. How could they know each other when one is in Song County and the other is in the capital?
Several people sitting here were also surprised.
"Uncle Chang Shi, have you and Mr. Nian met before?" Lin Zhu asked curiously from the side.
"Your surname is Chang? Chang Shi?" Niu Dahu suddenly called out, "Stubborn Stone?"
"How do you know my nickname?" Chang Shi's face changed slightly. Almost all the people who knew this title were in the capital. "Who are you?" His voice also became a little gloomy.
"You don't recognize me?" Niu Dahu patted Chang Shi on the shoulder. "Haha, boy, please recognize me." Niu Dahu felt the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"You, who are you?" Chang Shi felt that he meant no harm, and looked at Niu Dahu carefully. Living a prosperous life all year round has made Niu Dahu very wealthy, and his face is also very round. But Yixi can still tell.
What he looked like when he was young. "Are you Uncle Daniel?" Chang Shi asked uncertainly.
"Haha, did you recognize me?" Niu Dahu was very happy and laughed. But the people around him were very confused. How could Chang Shi know this person?
"Girl, Uncle Da Niu served as a soldier under the general's tent before, and even saved the general's life. Later, the general helped him return to his hometown." Chang Shi briefly talked about his acquaintance with Da Niu. It turned out that it was more than 20 years ago.
Before, General Chang was still a Duwei, and Niu Dahu was
One of his soldiers saved General Chang's life on the battlefield. So General Chang gave him a favor and allowed him to return to his hometown when he was in his thirties. He also gave him a hundred taels of silver as a gift, so now
Niu Dahu's success today is inseparable from General Chang.
"Uncle Daniu didn't expect to meet you here." Chang Shi was very happy, "It seems that we have a close relationship."
"I have been wanting to visit the general in the capital for so many years, but he is always at the border, and with my status, it is really inconvenient for me to come. I didn't expect to see you here today." Niu Dahu was very excited, "But, how can you
Here? Is the general okay?"
Niu Dahu's words made Chang Shi fall into silence, "What's wrong? Did something happen to the general?" Niu Dahu saw Chang Shi's ugly expression, and his heart sank suddenly.
"Come on, sit down first." Old Doctor Zhang said to the two of them, "This matter is a bit complicated and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Since Mr. Niu and Chang Shi know each other, let's just stay and have a casual meal, and then
Listen to him explain it to you slowly." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
