The six sons waited attentively all the way and sent "Xu Xian" back to the front yard where they were having tea.
The gatekeeper Gui Gong's eyes widened: "Speaking of Liu Zi, didn't you send Mr. Qiu to the backyard? Why did you bring back another one? Who is this?"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to look at Xu Xian's face.
"Stop stretching your dog paws!"
Liuzi opened Mr. Gui's hand, helped Xu Xian angrily and walked in: "You still have the nerve to ask me, my people haven't been sent yet, and I met this young man halfway.
Are those two holes for breathing? Such a big living person passed by and even went into the backyard without noticing it?"
"Ah? Did you enter the backyard?" Mr. Turtle said with a big mouth.
"Okay, okay, stop pretending. If you didn't see it, you didn't see it. Number six means number six. I'm not a eldest mother. Why are you pretending to be like me? Hurry up and prepare a place for this young man.
.”
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Although Mr. Turtle didn't know what was going on, he still couldn't agree and trotted in to make arrangements.
A few minutes later, the new Xu Xian controlled by Gao Ning was already sitting with some guests who were drinking and having fun.
Liuzi diligently brought a bowl of sobering soup, and after Gao Ning drank it, he controlled Xu Xian to sober up a little.
Seeing that the guest's eyes were clear, Liu Zi smiled with concern on his face: "Master, are you feeling better?"
Gao Ning didn't say anything. He looked at the dishes and drinks on the table in front of him, poured a glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Don't worry, I'm not drunk! As for the reward, I still remember it!"
Gao Ning said as he took out half a silver coin from his sleeve and threw it to Liu Zi.
Liuzi took it quickly, his eyes widened.
This... doesn't it have to look like five or six liang?
A tea party only costs one or two taels of silver. Even if you are a guest for one night, that's the price.
This man actually threw it out as a reward? This is too generous. It can't be fake, right?
Thinking of this, Liuzi quickly took a bite.
Looking at the two rows of teeth marks on the silver coin, he suddenly smiled and bowed his hands repeatedly: "Thank you, Master, for the reward. I deserve it. I didn't do anything at all..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let me tell you, your young master has nothing but a lot of money!"
Gao Ning pretended to be heroic and said: "Go and call out all the girls who haven't picked up the lights tonight and give one to each of the friends here. I'll treat you!"
"Ah?" Liu Zi was dumbfounded.
When he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice, so that the lobby, which had been filled with laughter and chatting just now, instantly fell silent, and more than twenty pairs of eyes looked over, either curiously or inquiringly.
On the contrary, Mr. Turtle, who was waiting nearby, had a rare moment of cleverness and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dear guests, our master is also happy tonight. Please have a good time together. Our master will bear all the expenses!"
He didn't care whether Gao Ning could pay for it or not, he just wanted to take the credit so that he could have something to say when he met his eldest mother later.
The hall was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly burst into cheers.
A few who were short of money called Mr. Turtle and the maid beside them on the spot and placed their orders without any ceremony.
The discerning ones held their hands from a distance, the curious ones kept looking at him, and the others who wanted to find out more walked forward together, exploring Gao Ning's identity in and out of words.
Gao Ning stood up, clasped his fists generously and said: "Everyone, we are destined to meet each other. I am happy today. I will book the venue. You are welcome. My younger brother also studied before, but failed in the imperial examination and switched to medicine. Currently he has opened a small hospital in Qiantang County.
It’s a small security hall. If you have a headache or a fever, you can go to my place to get medicine, guaranteed at the cost price!”
"Xu Xian? Are you Xu Xian?"
A young man wearing a scholar's long shirt stood up in astonishment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's me. Does this little brother recognize me?" Gao Ning pretended to be confused.
"A few days ago, my uncle had a foot problem and went to the security hall to see a doctor. We had a chance encounter that day. But that's not right. How did I hear that you were imprisoned by the county magistrate?"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him became quiet.
Gao Ning thought that it was indeed a small success. He thought that even if he made a grand appearance, it would take two or three days to attract the attention of the county government.
Unexpectedly, within ten minutes of his appearance, someone would recognize him.
"Caught to jail?" Gao Ning looked confused: "What are you talking about?"
Seeing this, the man actually became a little unconfident. After thinking about it, he held up his hands and said, "Brother Xu, don't be surprised. I hear gossip at home, maybe it's just spreading rumors!"
Gao Ning shook his head: "He must have admitted the wrong person. Xu Xian went out for an outing in the city today and came back in the evening. He went directly to the priest's square to drink. I don't know where this rumor came from. It's really outrageous!"
Liuzi quickly smoothed things over: "It must be some boring people who spread the news at will. Let's not pay attention to it. I heard that the kitchen got a few four-mouthed bass, all of which are more than three taels. This is a good thing. It is usually found in big restaurants."
Not necessarily.
I’ll go to the kitchen and get some for you to try!”
"I'm interested!"
Gao Ning did not refuse, and directly took out four pieces of official silver from his sleeves, each ingot of ten taels of silver, and placed them on the table.
"Take these, keep them in your account, and refund any excess you make!"
"Okay, I'll do the work, sir, don't worry, I'll make sure it's done properly and there won't be any mistakes!"
Liu Zi was overjoyed and quickly took all the silver. The heavy silver was in his hands, and he felt more at ease than ever before.
At this time, Gao Ning's eyes were shining.
This is not a young master, he is obviously the God of Wealth.
These forty taels of silver were sent up. Just the reward from my mother was worth seven or eight taels at least.
If this young master comes here every night, I can buy a two-bedroom house, have a wife and a concubine in less than two months.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, a fragrant breeze blew from outside, and a large group of orioles walked into the hall, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
Mr. Turtle was very good at doing things. Each of the other guests was given one, and no more was given. The remaining four or five of the best quality were all arranged around Gao Ning.
After a while, Gao Ning fell into a gentle state.
This one was fed grapes, that one was fed wine, this one was rubbing his shoulders and hands, and that one was rubbing his back. They were whispering softly in their ears, making witty remarks, and chatting about worldly affairs. It was really very pleasant.
Although he has traveled through several worlds, this is the first time Gao Ning has dealt with this kind of scene.
I thought I wouldn't have much communication with ancient women, but I didn't know that these professional technicians were better at chatting with each other.
Several people cooperated with each other, and there was no silence from beginning to end. Everyone stayed close to Gao Ning, and he would never feel left out.
The feeling of being prepared to serve with care and attentiveness was something he had never enjoyed before.
No wonder the rich people in ancient times always ran here. Isn't this more attractive than the young models in the club?
…
In the middle courtyard, a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo trees, eldest mother Zhang was sitting next to Eucalyptus. On the wooden tray at hand, there were four and a half silver ingots neatly placed.
Opposite, an old man with a goatee and a green hat was holding the silver and looking over it.
After waiting for a long time and receiving no reply, Mrs. Zhang became impatient and gently knocked on the mahogany table with her right hand with the jade bracelet, saying: "Lao Guan, you have been looking back and forth for almost half a stick of incense."
, can you give me a word? I still have something waiting for me over there!"
Goatee clucked his tongue and carefully put down the silver ingot in his hand. He took a brocade handkerchief and wiped his hands. He shook his head and sighed: "I have noticed the silver a long time ago. There is no doubt that it is official silver. It's just that
There’s something I just can’t figure out!”
"Oh? What?"
"Then Xu Xianming
Ming has been arrested and there is even a notice posted at the yamen door. Where did this second Xu Xian come from? Is it possible that the wrong person was arrested? But I heard that the Xu Xian in the morning also came from the security hall.
He was caught inside, how can this be false?"
"What a mess!" Ms. Zhang frowned: "Do you have to worry about the real or fake wheel? The most urgent thing is what to do with these ingots of silver?
Xu Xian casually threw out more than forty taels of silver. It seemed that his family was very rich. As long as I asked the sisters to serve well, I might be able to dig out a lot more. It didn't matter whether he was true or false, whether he really stole it or not.
Bank of China, I won't let you throw away your cash cow for no reason!" Mrs. Zhang knocked on the table and emphasized her tone.
Goatee shook his head: "Auntie, what you said is wrong. We are a Jiaofangsi and a government yamen. Do you think we are the same as those brothels and gardens? Can we recognize money but not people?"
Besides, even if you get a few hundred taels of silver from this person, will the boss above look at you more? But will these hundreds of taels of silver fall into your pocket?"
Mrs. Zhang frowned and was silent.
"So, what should I do? Just follow the rules. Even if someone comes looking for trouble, it's like a dog biting a hedgehog!"
"Go, who is the hedgehog!" Mrs. Zhang was dissatisfied.
Goatbeard was amused: "Hedgehogs are not good? What? Do you want to be a dog?"
"I think you are just a dog and can't spit out ivory!"
Mrs. Zhang gave Goatee a sharp look, picked up the tray and turned around to leave, "Business is very busy tonight. Thanks to Xu Xian, all the girls jumped on the lanterns. Please drink less wine tonight."
Calculate your accounts clearly in advance.
I'll send someone over to the Yamen immediately to see what the magistrate has to say!"
Hearing this, Goatee's hands froze, and he accidentally grew a beard. He grimaced in pain and kept rubbing his chin.
By the time he came to his senses, Mrs. Zhang had disappeared. He was stunned for a long time and could only shake his head and sighed: "Oh, what do you call your life like this? Isn't it just that I owe you one thousand two hundred taels of silver? This
Do you treat me like a human being every month? Every day when you open your eyes, you ask me to give you an account, and you don’t even give me a drink. What a sin!”
Goatee said this in his mouth, but he walked obediently to the bookcase, took the various documents that had been sent earlier, pulled the abacus, and quickly sorted them out.
His hands moved quickly, and his thoughts spread out involuntarily.
