Looking at Zhao Dashi's eyes like he was looking at a fool, Hu Pengjia finally realized that something was wrong.
This expression was not one of being shocked by ten thousand taels of silver, but rather one of ridicule and disdain. How could he bear being looked down upon by a servant, for a rich man who had always been one of the top powers in Qingyun County?
"You..." He pointed at Zhao Da's nose, looking furious.
"Sir, no matter how much you bid, this bamboo garden will not be sold." After receiving the news from his servants, Chang Shi came to the reception area. After knowing the whole story, although his face was not very good,
But he didn't say anything bad, he just told him the result seriously.
"You are so brave, are you kidding me? Do you know who I am?" Hu Pengjia suddenly felt very embarrassed and his face turned a little pale. This man from a poor garden actually made himself so embarrassed and came here together.
in front of people.
Hu Friend A and Dog Friend B were both playboys who had fooled around with Fang Shaohua. They both wanted to show off in front of Fang Shaohua and please him. That's why they came to Zhuyuan together.
Hu Peng A acted quickly and seized the opportunity, taking the lead in making the request to buy the bamboo garden. Both of them thought they would be able to catch it, while Gou Peng B secretly regretted that he spoke too slowly.
Unexpectedly, Hu Pengjia hit a big snag, which really made him happy from the bottom of his heart. However, since the two of them had the same purpose, they couldn't laugh in front of him.
Since Hu Peng A failed, Gou Peng B thought it was time for him to step forward.
"I would like to ask, are you the owner of this garden?" Compared to Hu Friend A's rudeness, Dog Friend B is more hypocritical, because he always looks polite and very deceptive.
"I'm just a steward." Chang Shi glanced at the dog friend.
"Maybe your owner doesn't make much money. I wonder how much he wants to ask for?" Gouyou's family is a wealthy businessman in Qingyun County, so he has always used money to settle matters. Of course, this method has been successful.
Many times.
"Although the money you get is indeed very small." Chang Shi saw that he was so expressionless, so he didn't mind provoking him. "But it's not a matter of price."
"Haha, are there things that money can't buy?" Gou Youyi pulled the folding fan a few times pretentiously. "Tell me, let's get straight to the point. Fifty thousand or one hundred thousand, just ask."
Zhao Da and others felt so uncomfortable that they all wanted to turn away. Did they never see the money? Or did these two self-righteous young masters never see the money?
"It would be better for the young master to keep this little money himself." Chang Shi gradually became impatient.
"Hmph. Although this is Song County, you should have heard of my family, the Sun family in Qingyun County. This manager should not ask for excessive prices." Gou Youyi was also angry, thinking to himself, you are just a little manager.
What a big deal, you call fifty thousand one hundred thousand taels of silver a small amount of money, aren't you trying to raise the price of the garden? Do you think I will be fooled by you?
Chang Shi glanced at Zhao Da. He didn't know the situation in Qingyun County, but Zhao Da nodded, saying that there was indeed such a family in Qingyun County.
But no matter who he is, Lin Zhu put a lot of effort into building this bamboo garden and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build it. How could he sell it to these dudes?
"No matter who you are, this garden is not for sale." Chang Shi shook off his sleeves. "Zhao Da, see you off." Chang Shi didn't want to get entangled with these two people who couldn't make sense.
The day to meet Lin Zhu and Ji was not far away, and he still had a lot of things to prepare for, and there was no time to waste on these two ignorant people.
Dog Friend B, who originally thought that as long as he revealed his identity, would scare the little steward, after hearing Chang Shi's words, his face turned redder than a monkey's butt.
Qing's face is a perfect contrast. We are brothers in distress, no one should laugh at the other.
"Let's go." The two of them looked at the posture put up by Zhao Da and others, and naturally knew that if they stayed, the situation would not change. They and others became the laughing stock of them. They considered themselves to be respectable people, of course.
I won't continue to embarrass myself here.
"Tell your mistress not to regret it. If you don't sell this garden today, you won't be able to get good fruits to eat in the future." Hu Pengyuan A said a few harsh words, then got into the carriage with Dog Friend B and left.
"Uncle Chang Shi, how do you think they knew about my garden?" After listening to Chang Shi's description, Lin Zhu felt that it was a bit unreasonable for the garden located in Song County to suddenly attract the covetousness of the people of Qingyun County.
"These two people seem to have appeared out of nowhere, and they don't seem to know Zhuyuan. They just want to use their status to force Zhuyuan." Chang Shi said very puzzled. He didn't expect to understand that it was very difficult to understand Zhuyuan.
Why does a peaceful bamboo garden attract evil intentions from others?
"Have the people in the garden offended anyone before?" Lin Zhu thought about it. Since he and others arrived in the bamboo garden, they have been very peaceful and have never gone out. It is unlikely that they have offended anyone now.
"I asked Zhao Da, the people in our garden are very honest, no one talks nonsense outside, and no one makes enemies outside." Chang Shi shook his head.
The food and accommodation in Zhuyuan are good, and Lin Zhu is also generous, and the monthly allowance is very generous. They are all people who have finally settled down. How can they ruin their futures by doing things that are not worthy of Zhuyuan?
Woolen cloth.
Since the reason could not be found, it could only be external factors. Lin Zhu also told General Chang and others about the matter. After all, they were all foxes, so they must have a more comprehensive view of the problem than himself.
General Chang and others were very displeased when they heard that someone wanted to forcefully buy the bamboo garden. Since coming to this garden, they have spent every day admiring flowers and birds, climbing mountains and hunting, soaking in springs and drinking wine. Not to mention how nourishing they are. Three
This old man almost has the idea of staying for a long time. Naturally, he will not allow others to ruin his good deeds.
"You are so courageous that you dare to put your thoughts on my grandson's daughter." General Chang stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows, "Chang Shi, go and find out which blind bastard reached out here.
I chopped him up."
General Chang's sword is still young. As soon as he said these words, his momentum suddenly changed, and the battlefield general who walked through the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood suddenly appeared again.
Lin Zhu had never seen him like this before. He felt as if a cold wind was blowing on his face, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
Chang Shi was used to General Chang's aura, so he looked serious, gave a military salute, and went out.
"Okay, Zhu girl, you don't have to worry. I'm here. No one can take your things away." General Chang saw Lin Zhu's face turning pale and thought he was angry with those shameless villains, so he immediately
He said a few words of comfort.
"Yes, don't worry, Zhu girl. Old man Chang has a strong waist. These little thieves are nothing to worry about." Mr. Du's face was calm, and the expression of concern just now turned to ridicule.
"Haha, it's just some small things. Let's go and see what else you need to prepare for your hairpin ceremony." Old doctor Zhang was more attentive than the two of them, and saw that Lin Zhu was because of General Chang's excessive evil spirit just now.
.So Wen Yan persuaded her to leave.
In fact, she was not very worried. After all, there were several old men here. She was also very confident. But she was still very grateful for the kindness of the three old men. And all three old men said so, and Lin Zhu had to leave obediently.
go out.
After Hu Peng A and Gou Peng B returned to Qingyun County, Fang Shaohua invited them to a restaurant. He thought things would go very smoothly. After all, they were both well-established people in Qingyun County, and they met ordinary people.
They all fawned over the two of them very much.
The owner of the bamboo garden doesn't seem to be a strong person. As long as the price is high enough, the transaction shouldn't be a problem.
So he excitedly went to meet the two of them.
As soon as he entered the private room of the restaurant, Fang Shaohua felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Hu Pen A and Gou Friend B both looked dejected. Moreover, there was no one waiting inside. Only the two of them were sitting quietly inside.
Knowing that something was not right, Fang Shaohua waved his hand and dismissed the servants who were following him.
"Brother Hu, Brother Sun, what's going on?" Fang Shaohua asked the two of them with a gloomy face.
"Master Fang, we are both incompetent and did not buy the garden." Although Gou Youyi felt his face was burning, he still told Fang Shaohua what happened.
"Is that what the steward of the garden really said? He didn't even fancy a hundred thousand taels of silver?" Fang Shaohua also didn't expect that Gou Youyi would raise the price to as much as one hundred thousand taels of silver. Although he was the son of the magistrate, the price of one hundred thousand taels of silver was not enough.
It's not easy for him to take it out.
"He said it was small money." Gou Youyi was very unwilling at this time. He felt that Chang Shi was just teasing him. It was just a small garden, how could it be worth so much money?
Fang Shaohua touched his chin. Although he didn't have a beard, his father Fang Youwei often did this when he was thinking about things. He thought it was very stylish and followed suit.
It seems that I still underestimated the financial resources of the owner of the bamboo garden. I thought that I could buy it for thirty to fifty thousand taels. However, I could still afford it and take over the bamboo garden peacefully. I didn't expect that it would cost more than one hundred thousand.
Then you have to think about other ways.
Fang Shaohua did not scold the two of them for this, but instead frequently blamed himself for not finding out more clearly, causing the two brothers to lose face, so he poured out a glass of wine to apologize.
The two people who originally thought they would be complained by Fang Shaohua, although they felt unhappy, had already prepared themselves, who asked their families to ask Fang Zhixian for help.
But Fang Shaohua actually apologized to the two of them, which made them feel that they were respected. Even if they had just been wronged in Zhuyuan, it was still worth it. Therefore, the two of them almost regarded Fang Shaohua as a confidant and a brother.
The heroic feeling of dying for someone who knows oneself, it seems that as long as Fang Shaohua gives an order, the two of them will risk their lives to complete it.
And Fang Shaohua just wants this feeling, retreating to advance, so that these two people can be used for his own use in the future. It seems that his father's words are not wrong. Although these two people are not very smart, as long as they give them a little sweetness,
You can do things for yourself faithfully.
Fang Shaohua's scheming has unknowingly increased to a new level.
After talking about business, Fang Shaohua started drinking with the two of them. The more he listened to their complaints, the more he felt that it was inevitable for him to win the Zhuyuan. He was now even more convinced that it was because the feng shui of the Zhuyuan was very good that he let
Lin Zhu was unwilling to let go under such favorable conditions.
Although Song County is not his territory, he heard his father Fang Youwei say that the magistrate of Song County is just a small magistrate who has only been in office for a year and has no backing. As long as he gives him some benefits and a little warning,
He will definitely act according to his own wishes.
Fang Youwei has been an official for many years, so he naturally has a lot of connections. In addition, Zheng's natal family and Fang Shaohua's maternal ancestor's family are also very powerful families in the state capital. Therefore, Fang Shaohua feels that in Qingyun County and even several surrounding counties,
There is nothing that he cannot handle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
