Chapter 2: Where to Settle (2)

"The Li family has made a fortune now, although he is going to take refuge, he can't lose the face of the Zhang family. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Thinking of this, Zhang Jizu bought himself a suit jacket, although the material is average, it is still a lot more pleasing to the eye, and then he bought a pair of new shoes for Ali, you can't go to Li's house barefoot." These two pieces cost another twenty yuan, and now Zhang Jizu only has the last five yuan and five cents left in his pocket, but as long as he finds the Li family, money is not a problem, so Zhang Jizu ruthlessly hired a rickshaw, and Ali followed the car and went to the main store of Qi Jinzhai.

Wulin Road is named because of its proximity to Wulin Gate, it can be said to have a long history in Hangzhou, starting from the Sui Dynasty, flourishing in the Qing Dynasty, developing to the Republic of China and becoming an important commercial street. Qi Jinzhai head office is located in the prime location of Wulin Road, occupies the largest area on the whole street, compared to Zhang Jizu just now they went to the branch shop is more magnificent, can have three times the size of the branch, the golden sign in the center hangs high, Qi Jinzhai three big characters are particularly conspicuous, shining golden light in the sun. Zhang Jizu got out of the car and told Ali not to talk too much when he went in for a while, and he must not embarrass the Zhang family, and then the two of them entered Qi Jinzhai one after the other. Inside, the scene in the store is even more incredible, facing a long vermilion lacquer counter, behind the counter stood seven or eight men in gray robes, each with a small flat head, looking neat, the shelves are neatly stacked with all kinds of satin, from time to time there are rich ladies and ladies in and out, choosing silk. There are also two long coffee tables on the side of the lobby, and a row of sofas behind it, where two middle-aged men in suits are sitting reading the newspaper and sipping fragrant tea.

After all, Zhang Jizu has seen the world, and he didn't open his mouth to look left and right like Ali behind him, but sat directly on the sofa, cocked Erlang's legs, and was full of style.

"Hello sir, what do you need to get to our store?" A guy with glasses came over and said to Zhang Jizu with a smile, it seems that he should be in charge.

"Oh, I don't know if your owner is in the store, I'm here to find him." Zhang Jizu replied.

"Really? I don't know what you call it, do you have something to do with our owner? The bespectacled steward asked politely.

"My surname is Zhang, I am from Taozhen, and my family is related to your owner." Zhang Jizu replied implicitly.

"I see, then you are a distinguished guest! Wait a minute, I'll go to the back and see if the owner is there. The steward said that he gave Zhang Jizu a cup of tea, and he turned around and entered a small door next to him, at this time the man on the sofa next to him stood up and left, and threw the newspaper he had read on the table, Zhang Jizu picked up the newspaper and read it, this is a declaration, which describes some novel things that have happened in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the past few days, Zhang Jizu just to pass the time, reading the newspaper randomly. The declaration has always advocated freedom of the press, so there are a lot of articles on the disadvantages of the times, one of which has aroused some interest of Zhang Jizu, the article said that there was a murder case in the provincial women's school recently, the case was originally very simple, all the evidence, including the testimony of eyewitnesses, pointed to the teacher of the women's school, Zhao Shengnan, was the real murderer, but it has been two days since the incident, and the police have not arrested the suspect for a long time, and they have not given any explanation, is it because the murderer's father is the director of the police department can get away with it? The language of the article is spicy, and every word is to the point. Zhang Jizu shook his head, and said to himself with emotion: "The world is so big, it's really strange things happen frequently!" ”

Zhang Jizu closed the newspaper and looked at the big clock standing in the corner, that person had been in for almost half an hour, why didn't he come out to reply? "Ali, go and ask, why hasn't there been any news for so long?" Zhang Jizu said with a little dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the young master had spoken, Ali called a man and asked, "Where is your bespectacled steward, why do you want my young master to wait here?" ”

The man looked at him for a long time, and then replied, "You sit down a little longer, and I'll call him." With that, he turned around and walked quickly into the small door.

"In that case, let's wait a little longer." Zhang Jizu deliberately raised his voice and picked up the newspaper again, but he felt a little wrong in his heart, that is, why is it so difficult to just reply? Zhang Jizu thought in his heart, and casually flipped over the page of the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly a notice jumped into his eyes.

notice

On June 1, the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, Mr. Zhang Wuwei, the son of General Zhang Quanyou, the overseer of Zhejiang, tied the knot with Miss Li Xiaozhu, the daughter of Li Manshan, the general manager of Qi Jinzhai, a business leader in the province, and hereby published a statement.

June 1, 13th year of the Republic of China

The amount of information in these short dozens of words is too large, Zhang Jizu thought he had read it wrong, and read it closely, "I read it right, I definitely didn't read it wrong." "It turns out that the Li family has broken the marriage contract without authorization, and Miss Li has married the son of the Overseer. But this is far from over, what makes Zhang Jizu break out in a cold sweat is that there is also a photo attached to the bottom of this notice, the photo is a group photo of a couple of newcomers and guests, all this seems to be normal, but the two people in the group photo Zhang Jizu are too familiar, one is the former Zhang family housekeeper Ding Shan, and the other is the strange old man surnamed Yang, in the photo, the two of them are standing by the side of the newcomer's parents left and right, it seems that their relationship with the Li family and even the overseer surnamed Zhang is not simple.

Seeing this, Zhang Jizu couldn't sit still anymore, he seemed to have felt a burst of murderous aura. When he raised his head, he saw that the few customers in the store had disappeared at some point, and there were only him, Ali and the seven or eight guys in the store in the lobby of Nuoda, and those guys were almost staring at Zhang Jizu with the same strange eyes.

"It's bad, why did you just escape from the tiger's den, and now you're in the wolf's den, hurry up and get out of here." Zhang Jizu reacted immediately, but he didn't show it, although his heart was beating "bang" at this time, Zhang Jizu still pretended that nothing had happened, put the newspaper on the coffee table, and said to himself: "Oh, this tea is too much, no, you have to go and relieve yourself first." As he spoke, he stood up and said hello, and Ali walked outside.

"Young Master Zhang, please stay, there is a toilet behind the shop, if you want to relieve yourself, I can lead you there." At this time, the previous glasses steward jumped out of nowhere and blocked Zhang Jizu's face.

"No, no, young master, I've been abroad for a long time, and I have to be a thatched house, so I have to go there, you wait, I'll go back." Zhang Jizu was in a hurry, pointed to a new hotel opposite, and then bypassed the steward, no matter what he said, and ran into the hotel opposite without looking back.
