Hearing this, Zhang Cong looked at the clerk in Yuegui Fang with great relief. He was quite pleased that he could find this clerk to help him with today's matter.
In Yuegui Fang, Zhang Cong could see that this guy was extremely unusual. The owner wanted to go east, but as soon as he raised his feet, the guy had already filled in all the potholes on the road to the east.
.
The level of observation and expression of the people and things around them is almost inhuman. Often, only those who have been in the world for decades can have such a state of mind.
The waiter bowed slightly and clasped his fists with both hands. Seeing this, Zhang Cong quickly stepped forward, helped the waiter up, and laughed happily.
"Little brother, what you did today was really beautiful." After saying that, Zhang Cong grabbed a five-tael silver coin from his pocket and shook it twice in the air, causing everyone around him to notice this situation.
See it in your eyes.
"Oh, Zhang Cong really got rich when he was a kid. He gave me five taels of silver as a reward."
"Oh my god, it's only five taels of silver."
"This kid must have found a treasure. He is so generous. These five taels of silver are enough to cover the expenses of my family of three for a year."
"God, how did this poor boy get so much money? Not to mention such extremely luxurious gifts, even if the reward helper gives out, it is only five taels of silver,..., I..."
"With so much money coming from this kid, he must be doing some bad business."
...
Many murmurs instantly broke out among the crowd.
The villagers were very curious about Zhang Cong's sudden wealth. But at this moment, facing the wealthy Zhang Cong, no one dared to directly question him.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the five taels of silver ingots. Zhang Cong's heroic spirit at this moment not only made the people around him fall into deep thought again, but also made one of them have his cheeks twisted.
It is the second son of the Wang family - Wang Qianye
Wang Qianye, who was standing not far away, saw Zhang Cong take out five taels of silver as a reward. The amount was exactly the same as the price of his betrothal gift. Needless to say, Wang Qianye also understood that Zhang Cong was obviously mocking
Own.
"What a bullshit gift from the second son of the Wang family, it's not as heroic as my reward for this servant." Although Zhang Cong didn't say anything, Wang Qianye made up this sentence on his own at this moment.
Wang Qianye looked at Zhang Cong, as if his whole body was covered with these words of ridicule towards him.
But Zhang Cong was very helpless at this moment, because when he purchased the betrothal gift, he gave out five taels of silver as a reward out of helplessness. All the dozens of taels of silver he had on him were all spent at this moment.
As for the money for three entrances and three courtyards, Zhang Cong relied on the fifty taels of silver he rented from Miss Qin Er of Bencaotang. In the end, only these five taels of silver were left.
However, the fifty taels of silver from Miss Qin Er of Herbal Medicine Hall cannot be borrowed for free. Zhang Cong needs to bring back the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum agreed upon by the two within five days and sell it to Herbal Herbal Hall.
The fifty taels of silver will be deducted from the transaction amount in the next few days.
At this moment, Zhang Cong also liked this guy very much. After thinking about it, he would definitely start his own business. It was the right time to hire someone.
But he had no other silver on him, so he took out all the five taels of silver to show his sincerity. It can be said that everything was a coincidence.
Just when Zhang Cong was about to open his mouth to win over the waiter, a comment from others fell into Zhang Cong's ears.
"This clever little boy is really rich. Just now, Second Young Master Wang said that his betrothal gift was worth five taels of silver.
And Zhang Cong directly took out five taels of silver and rewarded the gang of workers. What Ma Wei did was so infuriating that he was speechless."
An old man next to him was stroking his beard and said these words slowly. Because Zhang Cong and the clerk were closest to the old man, they heard clearly.
"Thank you Mr. Zhang for the five taels of silver." After saying this, the waiter raised the five taels of silver high as if no one else could see it.
Until it was raised above his head, the waiter spread out all his fingers and palms, like a tray, tightly holding the five taels of silver to a place where everyone could see it.
Zhang Cong also laughed calmly, and then said to the porters behind him: "Brothers, you have worked hard today. I will give these five taels of silver to this..."
Having said this, Zhang Cong looked at the clerk with some embarrassment and said: "This brother, I don't know your name yet."
"Just call me Xiao Yi." The waiter said, but did not take back his right hand. He was still holding five taels of silver high. If outsiders don't know what happened just now, if they see this scene at this moment, they will definitely
You will be amused until you laugh bitterly.
"I will give these five taels of silver to Brother B, and let Brother B go and reward everyone." Zhang Cong said, and after speaking, he glanced at the clerk under the slanting light. The clerk just smiled at Zhang Cong,
Then he took his hand back.
Seeing that the clerk didn't say much, Zhang Cong also breathed a sigh of relief.
The porters didn't say much. Not only had Zhang Cong given everyone their wages in advance, but they were also quite generous. Now that they could eat and drink for free, everyone obviously had no complaints.
The waiter didn't say much. Before Zhang Cong could move, he saw the waiter walking towards the porters behind him. They chatted for a few words and then left on their own.
Looking at the people leaving, Zhang Cong sighed. Then he turned around and looked at Aunt Cuihua who was looking troubled at the moment. He bowed respectfully to Aunt Cuihua and said, "Cuihua
Aunt, you have seen my sincerity. I really like Xiaohua. Don’t worry, all this money was earned by me, not by deception or robbery.
Besides, you also know who I am and it is absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing.
Besides, it’s just an engagement now. You didn’t see it just now. When Xiaohua heard that you were going to betroth her to someone else, her eyes were filled with tears. I still beg you to call off Xiaohua’s marriage. Please let me and Xiaohua be happy."
After saying that, Zhang Cong clasped his fists and knelt down suddenly in front of Aunt Cuihua. Not only Aunt Cuihua, but also others were shocked by this move.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Cuihua quickly put down the things in her hands and stepped forward to help Zhang Cong up. But Zhang Cong quickly
He stretched out a hand to show restraint.
Just when Aunt Cuihua was in a dilemma, a clear voice came from the crowd: "Mom, I don't want this marriage with Wang Qianye, I want to marry Brother Zhang Cong. You agreed to this marriage, but I didn't agree
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure was seen walking out of the crowd, and then kneeling side by side with Zhang Cong in front of Aunt Cuihua. The beautiful figure was Xiaohua who came out of the room at some unknown time.
