When all the women heard that Honggu was also scolding outside, they all persuaded Situ Yuan not to say anything, after all, her deed of sale was still in Honggu's hands, which meant that her life was in her hands. Situ Ming knew what everyone was worried about, so she said loudly to the outside of the door:

"The old mother outside heard clearly, my aunt, my name is Situ Ming, open the door and arrest me!"

Honggu heard her say this, and understood in her heart, it turned out to be the woman of unknown origin halfway. Zheng Ye didn't know about this, if he knew, his hard work might be deducted a lot.

The man surnamed Zheng wondered in his heart, although he didn't know the surnames of these women, but the surname Situ was very rare.

What kind of person is Honggu, who has been in the market all the year round, and has practiced the art of observing words and colors. She glanced at the man surnamed Zheng and frowned slightly, and secretly screamed in her heart.

"Master Zheng, why don't you do this, and give them some water and food, so as not to disturb the neighbors and cause unnecessary trouble." Honggu said with a smile.

"Do as you say!" After the man surnamed Zheng finished speaking, he went to the front yard.

Honggu removed the wooden threshold of the room from the outside, and handed some water, food, and a spittoon inside. Just about to withdraw his hand, Meng Buding's own hand was grabbed by a pair of hands inside, and he couldn't get in or out.

Honggu talked for a long time, couldn't break free, and didn't know what the scene was inside. She didn't dare to scold loudly, so she had to beg softly and said:

"I also know that the girls are working hard, but the girls also know that I am just an errand worker, and some things are really uncontrollable."

"Honggu, I'm just playing a joke on you, look at it scares you." Situ Cheng laughed inside, and then let go of her hand.

The red girl secretly said that this little girl's hand strength is really big. She was really afraid that the brutal girl would use the hairpin on her head to draw on her hand.

Honggu walked to the front yard and happened to meet someone knocking on the door outside. She went to the door, and did not open it, but asked who was knocking.

The one outside the door coughed heavily and didn't speak, and Honggu wondered. The man surnamed Zheng hurried all the way to the door and opened the door without saying a word.

I saw a woman wearing a veil standing outside the door, and her age was not visible from her size.

The man surnamed Zheng is estimated to be very familiar with the woman, Rao can't see his face clearly, and he knows who it is in his heart. The man surnamed Zheng bowed to the woman:

"Sister-in-law Zhou, if there is anything important to do here, I want you to go out in person."

Then the veiled woman spoke:

"Why don't you let me in, just stand at this gate and can't speak?"

"How dare you, how dare you!" The man surnamed Zheng sued again and again and invited her in.

It turned out that the man surnamed Zheng was a nephew of An Guogong's distant family, whose real name was Zheng?, and he was mixed with an errand with a false name in the Guogong Mansion, just because he thought that the monthly silver was too little to spend, so he made up his mind on this crooked way outside the door.

He once heard a friend at the wine table say that this business of buying and selling in the north is very profitable, so he thought about giving it a try. It's a pity that I don't have much net worth, and I think of a sister-in-law who is in charge of the Anguo Mansion. That is, the sister-in-law Zhou who had just come in lent him some money.

He only then had the capital, hired some chariot and horse guards, and a Ya Yu Honggu who could speak well and was proficient in this matter.

Zheng? When Sister-in-law Zhou sat down, she personally served a cup of tea. Sister-in-law Zhou then spoke:

"Master, this trip is still a deal, right?"

As soon as Zhou's sister-in-law entered the door, Zheng? guessed her intention, after all, several of the guards she hired were relatives of Sister-in-law Zhou.

Zheng? As soon as I heard Sister-in-law Zhou say this, I just sat down and quickly stood up and bowed to Sister-in-law Zhou:

"Sister-in-law's words are tormenting me, how can I be the word master. It's not like I just got in with my front foot, and you followed with your back foot, I saved the province to invite you personally. ”

Sister-in-law Zhou asked him to sit down and said:

"Isn't I also anxious, eldest nephew, you also know how my sister-in-law can lend you so much silver. It's all made up by our old sisters, and we have to hide this from the grandfathers at home. You've been gone for two or three months, haven't you? ”

Zheng? Again and again said yes.

"I'm finally looking forward to your return, and we've discussed it. I don't expect you to pay extra respect, just take back our share of the profits. Sister-in-law Zhou said again.

Zheng? When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and I thought that Sister-in-law Zhou was here to talk about the matter.

Sister-in-law Zhou paused and said:

"I heard that you brought a lot of girls from Jiangzhou, and each aunt took a girl, so the money didn't have to be so troublesome to turn into silver."

Zheng? said anxiously: "No trouble, no trouble, let's just calculate according to what was said in advance." ”

Think about it, the girl who brought it from Jiangzhou didn't look at it when she bought it, and some even bought it with money. However, when it was transported from Jiangzhou so far away to Kyoto, it cost a lot of money for the carriage and horses, as well as the food, lodging, and accommodation on the road.

Besides, no matter where these women are sold in Kyoto, their value is not a hundredfold or a thousandfold increase. Sister-in-law Zhou said lightly, Zheng? There was some anger in my heart.

When he went to borrow money, he agreed that it would last for three months, and that the profit would be calculated according to the convention in the market. He didn't tell Sister-in-law Zhou that he was going to do this business, it must have been one of the guards who went to report to Sister-in-law Zhou.

Seeing his reluctance, Sister-in-law Zhou slapped the table with her hand, glared at her eyes and said:

"Now is not the time to beg me, you are also hard to speak, right?"

Zheng? Shocked, he made his words clear and said:

"Sister-in-law, we all agreed on this matter at the beginning, and we will return it to you with interest after March. Why are you changing your mind again now, don't want money to start people? I think you also know that the goods I brought back this time are not worth dozens of taels of silver, which can top your profits for several years. ”

"Okay, since you are as valuable as you say, then you are now rich. You can return my money now. I don't want more than one penny, and I don't follow one penny less. Sister-in-law Zhou said.

Does she know Zheng? It's just come back and the butt hasn't been hot yet, this business is equivalent to not opening yet, where is the silver to be returned to her. That's why she deliberately made things difficult and wanted a few women to go back.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, aren't you embarrassed for my nephew? Wait for two days, and after two days, your nephew will come to your house with both hands in his hands and return you. "Zheng? Talk to her.

"No, I can't explain to my sisters when I go back like this, now you have to give it to me!" Sister-in-law Zhou did not follow the unforgiving way.

"Otherwise, you let me go for two days, and I'll give you double the interest." Zheng? Road.

Five times the profit is not worth any girl, and the sister-in-law still refused that week, sitting on that chair as steady as Mount Tai and refusing to move.

Just as the two were bargaining and entangled, someone knocked on the door again. Zheng? I was overjoyed, could it be that the hired groom had already invited the main owner?
