Six hundred and sixtieth chapters nine out of thirteen return
It was obviously a blind date for me, but something seemed wrong? I think Mrs. Ye is much more interested in Zhu Ying than me. Is it possible that this girl doesn't love young men and beautiful women?
Zhang Chen wished he could find someone to talk to about this strange feeling in his heart, but he only had Ah Liu, an idiot who didn't understand the charm, and other than that, he hadn't followed Ye downstairs before, and he didn't know if he heard Ye's words.
Zhu Hong and other entourage. Even if he could no longer hold it in, he would not be able to expose his shortcomings to these people, so it was extremely uncomfortable to hold it in.
However, Zhu Ying actually took it seriously to accompany Ye's shopping. On the newly emerged bustling streets near Xinglong Teahouse, two beauties with their own merits would go to a shop with great interest from time to time, and then look at the valuables.
He commented on the worthless products, and from time to time he would call Ah Liu over to give him some pointers, and even ask for his opinion from time to time.
God knows, Zhang Chen has two big heads, his head is all turned into mush, he has no idea what he is looking at, and his answer is just two dry sentences, OK, not bad, whatever you think is good... He just thinks
I look like a goose!
If he had the guts, of course he would immediately walk away and never have contact with each other again. Anyway, he didn't fall in love with Ye at first sight. He just thought he was quite interesting. He didn't just pretend to be cool and noble, so he just left.
Then he left. But he always felt that it was too disrespectful to Zhu Ying. In addition, the two women were polite to him, but it was Ah Liu who looked at her strangely.
While walking, when Zhang Chen came to his senses again, he discovered that he was actually in a weapons shop! Nowadays, when many weapons are controlled products, such shops are of course very rare in the capital, and
Although the Duke of his family was not a military official but a civil servant, he still had a lot of treasures in the house. Therefore, when he glanced at them, he saw that the swords, bows and arrows were all ordinary, and he didn't care about them.
But the next moment, he saw the little girl with a red headband holding a bow as if she had found a treasure and rushed to Ah Liu, and then asked in a twittering voice: "Sixth Master, Sixth Master, Miss Zhu"
You said you have good taste, can you help me see what this slingshot looks like?"
Zhang Chen almost stared out of his eyes. It was not because the little girl who had just fought with Ah Liu was now obviously coming to flatter her, but because... what the man brought to Ah Liu was basically the same thing.
Whether the bow is good or not has nothing to do with the slingshot used to shoot sparrows and birds for fun, no matter what gadgets!
However, what surprised him was that Ah Liu actually took the bow, looked at it over and over again for a while, and finally asked something strange: "Did you really use the slingshot as a weapon? Why not use a bow? The projectiles used in the slingshot,
Projectiles made of gold and iron are very expensive, and projectiles made of clay are not cheap either. The most important thing is that they can only be used at close range, and the long-range damage is far inferior to that of bows and arrows!"
Zhang Chen suddenly thought of the battle in Cuiyun. Ah Liu was indeed using a bow and arrow. For a moment, he felt that this answer was not surprising at all. However, when he simply went closer to take a look, he found that the so-called slingshot had a bowstring in the center.
, it was just a small pocket, and you could even see some projectiles in it, and you suddenly understood.
Different from the slingshot used by naughty boys, this kind of slingshot should use a bow string to eject projectiles. But as Ah Liu said, the long-range damage is far less than that of ordinary bows and arrows... But the problem is that at close range, this thing is indeed invisible.
Go without a trace, just right for the little girl in front of you to be a bodyguard!
Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Cao Qingqing saying in embarrassment: "I don't have enough arm strength..." Besides, I'm not going to the battlefield, so why do I need long-distance killing? It's enough to protect Miss Ye at close range. I can just fight casually.
It's illegal to kill someone, and she doesn't want to go to jail!
Ah Liu said oh, but he first looked at the projectiles in the slingshot bag, then took out another one and tried it, and finally checked the bow tire and bow string. He nodded and said: "Things
It’s really good and the workmanship is pretty good.”
"Thank you Mr. Liu. My slingshot is really old. I'm worried that one day it will suddenly fall apart when I'm using it! It's rare to see someone selling a slingshot in such good condition. I'll give it a try now.
Go buy it!”
Cao Qingqing suddenly beamed with joy. After saluting Ah Liu, she quickly ran to Ye and Zhu Ying, pointed at Ah Liu and chirped a few words, and then happily rushed to the smiling shopkeeper.
But as soon as they started talking, her face and eyes darkened, and finally she put the slingshot back down in despair.
Seeing that Ah Liu just raised his eyebrows in confusion, Zhang Chen couldn't help but murmured in his heart that he was an ignorant boy. However, although from before to now, he only felt that their group was indescribably weird, but
Finally, the atmosphere was no longer as stiff as it was at Xinglong Tea House, so he simply stepped forward with his hands behind his back and asked the shopkeeper with a smile.
"How much does that slingshot cost just now?"
With Zhu Ying's stunning appearance and her majesty as if no one else was around, even though there were many rich ladies in the capital, it was impossible to pick out the second one. Plus, girls were visiting places like this that sold weapons.
The shopkeeper could roughly guess who this person was, and when he saw Zhang Chen's attire and demeanor, he remembered that he had just heard an entourage call him Mr. Zhang, and he immediately burst into laughter.
"The shop is registered with the North Korea-China Ordnance Bureau and specializes in manufacturing and selling non-prohibited weapons, so it sells slingshots, not bows and arrows. The swords are also shorter, and there are no prohibited items such as armor and helmets..."
Seeing Zhang Chen's obviously impatient expression, he quickly said in a short sentence: "This slingshot was made by a skilled craftsman. It was originally going to be sold for sixteen pieces. If you sincerely want it, Bachelor Zhang..."
"Stop, what is Bachelor Zhang!" Fortunately, Zhang Chen reacted very quickly and immediately interrupted the shopkeeper. He was stunned at first, and then he apologized repeatedly. He shouted angrily, "I don't look like Bachelor Zhang! How can I look like Bachelor Zhang?"
You are my teacher, do you understand? If you don’t recognize someone, don’t scream. Fortunately, you met me today, otherwise I wouldn’t have enjoyed your good harvest!”
The shopkeeper was so scolded by Zhang Chen that sweat broke out on his forehead. He thought that meeting you was scary enough, what kind of powerful person would he meet again? However, just as he nodded and bowed, he heard the beautiful lady
Like an immortal descending to earth, the girl who was suspected to be the eldest daughter of Duke Zhao laughed and said, "He actually thinks of you as Zhang Chen. He is very clumsy!"
Hearing the word "Zhang Chen", the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed. The resentment just now disappeared completely. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow to apologize: "It turns out that he is the eldest son of the Duke of Qin. The young man has eyesight but cannot recognize Mount Tai..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Chen waved his hand impatiently, and then said thoughtfully, "The price of a slingshot with sixteen guns is really not cheap, but Ah Liudu said
It’s a good thing… Hey, little girl named Cao, don’t you have enough money?”
Cao Qingqing was feeling sorry for herself and didn't pay attention to this trivial matter between Zhang Chen and the shopkeeper. When she heard someone calling her, she raised her head blankly. It took a long time before she realized what she was doing, but she nodded in frustration and said: "We are the escort agency.
An escort's bow only costs eight guan, but it actually costs sixteen guan, which is really too expensive. The wages I finally saved are only seven guan!"
Ah Liu, who was on the side, had just heard her asking about the price. At this time, he heard that the person clearly said that he was short of money and could not afford it. He suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."
Huh? Not only Zhang Chen, but also Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise, and at the same time she had a wonderful idea. How could a muyu-head like Ah Liu be enlightened and know how to lend money to a girl? However, in their case,
Under the enthusiastic gaze, Ah Liu actually said to himself: "Of course, I can borrow money, and I'll be home by the end of the day!"
This guy is finished...
This kid is hopeless!
Not to mention Zhu Ying and Zhang Chen, even Ye's cold face could not help showing an extremely subtle expression at this time. However, what shocked them was that instead of scolding, Cao Qingqing looked very familiar.
Looks like: "Nine out and thirteen back. I know that pawnshops are like this. They say they are borrowing ten guan, but in fact they only give me nine guan. After three months, they will return thirteen guan to the pawnshop!"
Ah Liu looked back at each other in surprise. Zhu Ying and Zhang Chen thought that the young man was going to say that there was no need to ask such a simple question. However, the next moment Ah Liu's answer exceeded their expectations again.
"That's right, it's like this. You go out nine times and you go home thirteen times. The young master said that you don't help the poor, but you are in need. If you see someone on the road who is about to starve to death, if you can, give him a bowl of porridge and try to find him a piece of porridge.
You have to work to fill your stomach. But if you meet someone who is too poor to buy necessities and needs to borrow money, and the thing is not life-saving, then you should go home in 10 minutes."
This sounds really reasonable... This was Zhang Chen's thought at this time, but when he thought about it more carefully, he felt it made more sense. Although his family was not prosperous, relatives and friends often came to borrow money.
But his mother would lend to some people and not to others. According to what he heard from his mother, she lent money to cure illnesses and save lives, but not to buy a house or land. Moreover, the money lent must be recovered.
If you don’t take this back, everyone will come to your door one after another. No one’s money just falls from the sky!
This sounds really good to Zhang Shou... This is what Zhu Ying is thinking at the moment. There is no doubt that she very much supports the truth that Zhang Shou instilled in Ah Liu. Now think about it, when she lends money to her second brother in the future, it will be
Doesn’t it also require someone to write down an IOU for nine departures and thirteen returns?
Ah Liu didn't care about other people's reactions. Seeing that Cao Qingqing didn't seem to have any objection to his words, but seemed a little entangled, he calmly spoke again.
"I'm not short of money now. The young master has deposited 270 guan for me. He said it will be 660 guan in one year. If he advances me 30 guan in interest, I won't be able to spend it. You want to borrow money
Yes, but I don’t want you to pay me back, you can pay me something else.”
Cao Qingqing's eyes widened immediately, and then he quickly calculated.
She really wanted that slingshot, but not to mention the fact that she would not get a penny of interest even if she returned home in nine months, and she would not be able to pay it back in three months! She had also heard about the famous Bachelor Zhang.
There is a very powerful follower, but he did not expect that he also works as a bodyguard. He can easily save more than two hundred dollars, but she worked so hard that she could save less than a fraction...
Moreover, the important thing is not to save money, but to help his followers save money. He actually uses the method of nine out and thirteen returns... 270 guan saved for one year, and 30 guan interest per month, which is exactly six
One hundred and sixty guan, and I also gave Ah Liu 30 guan as pocket money in advance!
She wants such a generous employer and such thick golden thighs!
But as soon as this idea came to her mind, Cao Qingqing thought of Miss Ye's kindness to her, and hurriedly shook her head to drive away this ridiculous idea. However, when she thought about the conditions proposed by Ah Liu just now, she suddenly couldn't help being frightened.
.
She is not as beautiful as Zhu Ying and Miss Ye. As an ordinary yellow-haired girl like her, if she asks someone to borrow money, what else can she come up with in return?
It is even more impossible to default on the debt. Mr. Cao Wu has discussed it with others, and he is someone she can only hope for!
Just when she was trembling with fear, Zhu Ying asked with great interest: "Ah Liu, what do you want Miss Cao to give you in return?"
"I haven't thought about it." Ah Liu frowned, and then said honestly, "How about, eldest lady, your girls' school also accepts her? The girls' school should admit a lot of female students, right? Miss Ye is the only one.
Isn’t it too busy for people to teach martial arts? Moreover, there should be people from Shunhe Escort who have practiced martial arts like Miss Cao, right? Invite all the people here? Well, the money I borrowed will be deducted from her salary."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Qingqing's eyes suddenly became bright and she almost wanted to shout "I do" loudly.
Even Ye, whose face had turned cold just now, couldn't help but look at Ah Liu in surprise. He didn't even look at himself, staring at Zhu Ying intently. His eyes were extremely sincere. He had already planned to use the slingshot for Cao Qingqing.
She sighed in her heart because of the money, and immediately said: "Qingqing, this is a good thing, please agree."
"Ah!" Cao Qingqing didn't expect that Mrs. Ye actually asked her to agree, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. When the shopkeeper handed over the slingshot, she couldn't put it down and rubbed it for a while, and then hurried forward to express her gratitude to Ah Liu.
Seeing the unconcerned look on her face, she suddenly understood and hurriedly went to thank Zhu Ying again. Of course, Mrs. Ye was also among her thanks.
Zhang Chen on the side saw the shopkeeper looking at this and that, with caution and fear written all over his face. He couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you looking at? Give that slingshot to Miss Cao. Are you still worried?"
No one pays the bill?"
It turns out that going out nine times and returning thirteen is not a hard-to-get trick, but Ah Liu doesn’t care if he has too much money, so he is willing to borrow money and doesn’t care about the interest. Instead, he is sincerely thinking about Zhu Ying’s female school!
How can Ah Liu be an idiot? This kid only has Zhang Shou in his heart, and now he also has Zhu Ying!
Seeing Ah Liu take out the money tickets and count them to the shopkeeper seriously, Zhu Ying felt that everything today was beyond her expectation. So, she rolled her eyes, then looked at Ye and Zhang Chen with a smile and said
: "Miss Ye, Zhang Chen, please do me a favor. My eldest brother is getting married soon. Please help me choose a suitable gift. Well, there is also one for my sister-in-law!"
