Chapter 67: Encountering Blackmail
readx;???β That's her! The third aunt clapped her hands and said, "I heard it from the Tian family, so I can't be wrong!" I heard that their family is one of the largest families in Shuangliu County! It's so close to you, if you open your mouth, most of you can agree! β
"But, after all, we haven't been in contact for several years, and we don't remember what that Fang Qing's cousin looks like, isn't it ...... to go so rashly to borrow money from others" Lian Ze hesitated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Even Fangzhou subconsciously remembered that Grandma Liu brought Ban'er into Jiafu, did she have to draw a gourd in the same way?
After thinking about it, after all, the temptation of planting cotton was too great, she gritted her teeth and said, "Since this is the case, I will go with Aze tomorrow, and you will be at home with the third aunt and grandmother!" Lian Fangzhou glanced at the two small ones.
"I'll go too!" Ah Jian, who had not spoken, said: "This distance is not close, I will accompany you!" β
Everyone invariably remembered what happened on the way back that day when they first met Ah Jian, and even Fang Zhou did not refuse, so he smiled and said, "Okay! Let's go together! β
After a pause, Lian Fangzhou said again: "Over there for charcoal, I'll talk to Aunt Zhang later!" "When you divide the money, it's okay to take less for yourself.
Several people discussed for a while, and Lian Fangzhou hurriedly went to Aunt Zhang's house to explain the matter, and when he came back, he asked if he had sent the charcoal to the eldest uncle and aunt? I heard Lian Ze say that he had already sent it over.
Nothing to say for a night.
Early the next morning, Lian Fangzhou, Ah Jian, and Lian Ze went out. None of the families in the village had a carriage, so the three of them had to plan to rent another carriage in the county seat.
When I arrived in the county seat, the sun had just risen, and the cool fog in the morning was cold.
The three of them each asked for a bowl of noodle soup at a roadside stall, and after eating, they went to the carriage and horse shop to pick up a carriage.
Soon negotiated the price, and set off for Shuangliu County.
Lian Fangzhou is actually still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the so-called cousin has no impression at all, people are now rich and noble, and they say that they borrowed money, and they will definitely pay it back in the future, but people may not believe it! In the eyes of others, he is an autumn wind!
If it weren't for the rare opportunity, even Fangzhou wouldn't be able to give up this face no matter what.
"By the way," Lian Fangzhou suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to our cousin's family before he left the cabinet?" Should ......"
Lian Ze shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, anyway, it's definitely not a rich and noble family." β
Lian Fangzhou was silent, and said secretly in his heart, how could the Su family be willing to hire her as the only seedling in their own family? It's a bit weird. This cousin can't be just a concubine, right? If so, it's going to be hard!
Lian Fangzhou just muttered in his heart, Lian Ze had already asked: "Sister, you said that the third aunt and grandmother said that the Su family is so rich, how could she marry Cousin Fang as a daughter-in-law?" Could it be that the third aunt and grandmother are lying? β
The two sisters and brothers speculated and discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason, but they became more and more confused.
In the end, Ah Jian couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is there to guess about this?" Anyway, it's already halfway there, so don't you know when you get there? Besides, our purpose is to borrow money, so what does it matter to us how they got married? β
Even Fang Zhou and Lian Ze laughed when he said this.
"You're right, you'll know when you arrive!" Even Fangzhou smiled, and the three of them talked about some other homely gossip, but they were not lonely.
Suddenly, the carriage paused heavily and stopped.
The carriage shook violently, and even Fangzhou raised the curtain and looked out, there were green mountains on both sides, and this was still halfway there!
"What's wrong?" So she asked the coachman.
The coachman had already jumped out of the carriage to look at the wheels, and said, "The car is broken, girl, I'm afraid it's a little hard to go!" β
"How so!" Even Fangzhou frowned, and got out of the car.
Lian Ze and Ah Jian also followed.
"Is it bad? Can it be fixed? Lian Ze asked.
"Look at what the little brother said!" The coachman laughed and said, "It can be repaired, but how can it be repaired if it is not in the village and behind the store!" Hey, I'm really unlucky, this trip is in vain, and the hard-earned money is not enough to repair the car, and my horse, I have to rest for a few days after such a long journey, and I would not have come if I knew ......"
Even Fangzhou listened to the coachman's complaints and complaints, but he didn't leave a single word of money, so he heard something different, so he simply stood aside and watched what he wanted.
Lian Ze was really anxious, and looked at the broken carriage with a sad face.
Ah Jian looked at the carriage carefully for a moment, and said lightly: "There is no problem with your carriage at all, how can you say that it is broken?" β
The coachman was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Why is it not broken?" Didn't you feel such a big movement in the car just now? I don't know my own car yet? If it's okay, can I stop? You know what, don't talk nonsense! β
"In this way," said Ajian, "you go to the carriage and sit down, and I'll catch the car." β
"No way!" Without thinking about it, the coachman said, "This is my carriage, and the horse is also mine, how do I know if you will deliberately go on a rampage and toss my horse and cart!" β
Ah Jian was about to say more, Lian Fangzhou gently tugged at his sleeve, looked at the coachman fixedly, and asked, "Just say what you want, right?" β
Lian Fangzhou's question was direct and explicit, although the coachman had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, he couldn't help but ask her like this, and suddenly glared at her with some annoyance and shouted: "What do you mean?" β
"I should ask you this," Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "Give me a happy word!" Are you in a hurry or not? β
Although the coachman was annoyed and ashamed, he had to endure itβwho told him that he had a mind in the first place?
He didn't give a pleasant word, but said a lot of words, to the effect that the carriage was broken, and if he insisted on going on, it would be fine, but it would cause greater damage to the carriage, and the horse would be more tired, and he would be more struggling, so the price could not be as previously agreed. Three words, the price has to rise!
Ah Jian and Lian Ze were dumbfounded, and Lian Fangzhou laughed angrily.
The most annoying thing is his tone, but he reluctantly drove the car, and even Fangzhou and they had to thank him and accept his affection after they increased the price.
If he wanted to think about it a little more, even Fangzhou saw that he was in a hurry, and the fly swallowed it with disgust, but the four coins of silver that he had originally said became two or four coins, and even the three of Fangzhou were annoyed.
"Don't deceive people too much! How can you be like this when you say a good price! You're too unauthentic! Lian Ze said angrily.
"Why am I not authentic?" The coachman said: "Didn't I just say very clearly the reason for the increase?" Wherever I say it, I'm in charge! I can't get any extra two taels of silver, barely enough to repair the car! β
As for what Ah Jian just said that the carriage was not broken, it was automatically ignored by the coachman.
Thank you Goddess Meimi for your tip! Ah Jian is out, I'll talk about it, (^o^)/ ~ (Markor Literature)
