Chapter 233: A Marriage Contract
It turned out that the chairman of the Chu family lent Xuan Bao Zhai a sum of money when the big shopkeeper was in difficulty, and he didn't collect a penny of interest.
The old shopkeeper was in a state of gratitude, and wrote this sincere marriage contract to the Chu family on a whim, when the old shopkeeper and the chairman did not care too much, no one expected that today, more than ten years later, the Chu family actually shamelessly took this marriage contract to collect debts.
"Modern society is free love, and it is no longer the feudal society of the past, strictly speaking, this marriage contract is invalid, because there is no emotional entanglement between me and Chu Zhifei at all!"
Xie Jingwen finally pointed to the marriage contract and said: "From a legal point of view, this marriage contract has no legal effect at all!" I don't agree!"
"Hehe! Xie family girl!" Zhang Xiaohui took out the cigarette in her hand and laughed sharply: "The black and white words are the marriage contract written down by your old shopkeeper back then, saying that if you don't admit it, you won't admit it?"
Zhang Xiaohui pointed to the marriage contract and continued to shout: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it! We have been in the mainstream media in Jiangcheng in the past few days, and we have said that Zhang Qiangsheng, the old shopkeeper of Xuan Bao Zhai, does not speak well, and refuses to admit the promise he made back then! Zhang Qiangsheng might as well fart when he speaks!"
"It's too much!" Shen Qiu suddenly interrupted Zhang Xiaohui's words: "Everyone is no longer there, is it necessary for you to insult the old shopkeeper like this? You don't have to beat around the bush, just say it! What do you want for coming to Jiangcheng? Could it be that you really want to force marriage! Marry Xie Jingwenqiang to Chu Zhifei? In addition, let's put a dowry of 200 million yuan?"
In a few words, Shen Qiu had already seen the intention of the Chu family, this marriage contract was just a cover for them to make trouble, but in fact, they just wanted to do something under this pretext.
"Hmph!" Zhang Xiaohui continued to light a cigarette and said: "To say that our Chu family is not an inconspicuous third-rate family, there is really no shortage of your money, as for the little girl and our Zhifei, we are not easy to force, after all, the twisted melon is not sweet!"
At this time, Chu Zhixiong walked out of the banquet, handed Shen Qiu a life full of wine and said: "As long as Shen Qiu you promise us a condition, our Chu family is willing to use this marriage contract as a condition in exchange!"
Shen Qiu disdainfully took the other party's wine glass: "I have already seen that you have conditions, so you don't have to beat around the bush, just say what's the condition?"
Chu Zhixiong continued: "To be honest, I was unwilling to gamble on the result last time, and the special environment in which I was in made me play abnormally, as long as Shen Qiu promised to gamble with me, as long as you won! Our Chu family will present this marriage book with both hands, and promise not to trouble the Xie family in the future! What do you think?"
"What if I lose?"
"If we lose, we will also present the wedding book, and ask for a treasure on Master Shen's body! This treasure is the fragment of "Connecticut Sending Off Post"!"
Shen Qiu's eyes couldn't help but be stunned again, and he was about to send off the paste fragments? How did Chu Zhifei know that he had a send-off paste fragment in his hand, could it be that it was a small action made by Mr. Ghost again?
"How did you know I had the scraps of the send-off sticker?"
"Because of this!" Chu Zhixiong gestured, and his subordinates took out a dark yellow envelope from their bags, and sure enough, it was a good thing done by Mr. Ghost.
"Master Shen, we all know how precious the send-off sticker is, and we all know that you won't sell the send-off page easily, so we can only exchange it at the same price, and we will bet on the send-off sticker in your hand fairly!"
After going around in a big circle, the other party's target turned out to be the send-off sticker in his hand, which somewhat surprised Shen Qiu.
Zheng Tongsheng and Shi Yonghao are here for this, and the Chu family is also the same goal, it seems that Mr. Ghost wants to make this matter a big deal.
"Shen Qiu can't promise them!" Xie Jingwen shook his head at Shen Qiu and signaled: "The fragments of the send-off sticker are not easy to come by, they can't just use them as a bet, their Chu family doesn't deserve to have a treasure of this level!
"Boss Xie! You have to be careful when you speak! If you really want to tear your face, I don't mind publishing this marriage contract in the newspaper, and when the time comes, not only will your dead father have no face, but your Xuan Bao Zhai's reputation will also be greatly reduced! No matter how it is a loss-making deal! Think twice before acting!"
"Needless to say, I promise you!"
Shen Qiu agreed without hesitation: "Then I will gamble with you again, you can decide the time and place, you are willing to gamble and lose, and if you lose, you must fulfill your promise!"
"Shen Qiu, you ......" Xie Jingwen was anxious.
"Xiaowen, don't say anything. Shen Qiu looked at her and said meaningfully: "That marriage contract is the invisible shackles that bind you, I am willing to redeem it at any cost, even if I lose, it is understandable!"
"Okay! Three days later, in Boss Qian's Shengshi antique shop, I, Chu Zhixiong and Shen Qiu, will have a showdown again! The gambling contract, the bet, and the various rules and processes are open and transparent to all walks of life, South Shen Qiu and North Zhixiong, who is the real treasure master in the end, see at a glance!"
Bet on the treasure!
The news of Chu Zhixiong's door-to-door challenge once again spread in the Jiangcheng antique world, and everything seemed to revolve around Shen Qiu, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu Zhixiong's challenge had two meanings.
The first is to ask for the scraps of the sky-high send-off sticker, and the second is to see Shen Qiu's fame increasing day by day, and now Shen Qiu's fame has thrown Chu Zhixiong several streets, Chu Zhixiong is not ashamed to lose the treasure, but if he wins Shen Qiu by luck, it is like taking a shortcut to the throne of the treasure master, which can really be described as a painstaking effort to kill two birds with one stone.
On the other hand, the news of the reappearance of the send-off sticker has spread to every corner of the Jiangcheng antique world, and the price of a fragment has been speculated to 80 million.
The whole set of send-off stickers is the number of pages of eight, according to the unit price of 80 million, the price of a set of "Connecticut send-off stickers" has soared to 640 million sky-high price, this price of the baby has refreshed the treasure record of Jiangcheng.
Zheng Tongsheng and Shi Yonghao were not idle, and hired a large number of people to look around in Jiangcheng Antique Street and various streets and alleys, hoping to find the remaining seven send-off stickers.
Everyone was looking for the fragments of the send-off sticker, but Shen Qiu did the opposite, he didn't look for the whereabouts of the send-off sticker, but shifted the search target to Mr. Ghost.
The three registered letters made Shen Qiu fully realize that this Mr. Ghost must know the whereabouts of the send-off poster, and it can be said with great certainty that the turmoil of the city's search for the send-off post was operated by Mr. Ghost, as long as Mr. Ghost is found, he will not worry about finding the whereabouts of the send-off post!
In Jiangcheng at nightfall, Shen Qiu specially went back to the dormitory, spread out a gossip map on the floor of the dormitory, holding three copper coins in his hand, and placing Mr. Ghost's birthday in front of him.
In Shen Qiu's opinion, as long as there is Mr. Ghost's birthday in hand, finding Mr. Ghost is far easier than finding a send-off sticker.
The introduction used in this hexagram is the eight characters of Mr. Ghost's birthday, as well as the time of this point, and the word in the fragment of the send-off sticker, "Kang".
Bang!
The coefficients of the three copper coins landed, and the hexagram about this hexagram was also presented.
There is light in the south of the city, there is light in the north temple, there are stars in the sky and there is spiritual light in the ground, there is a dense forest in front of the water, and there must be purple light in the morning sun in the heart.
This hexagram is a set of hexagrams describing the natural landscape in the "Book of Heavenly Phenomena", but superimposing it on the clues to find Mr. Ghost really makes Shen Qiu a little difficult.
There is a sea and north temple in the south city, which means that this place can see the whole picture of Jiangcheng to the south, and you can see a temple to the north!
There are stars in the sky and spiritual light in the ground, you can see the stars above your head, and you can see the bright moonlight under your feet!
There is a dense forest in front and a lake in the back, which is understandable, but this last Shen Qiu was really incomprehensible at that time.
What does this sentence mean? Rao is Shen Qiu is very familiar with the geographical environment of Jiangcheng, and he can't understand the true meaning of this sentence, in other words, as long as he can interpret this hexagram, then he will be able to accurately find Mr. Ghost himself tonight!
