Chapter Twenty-Nine: Settle Our Accounts
Qin Xiu took his second and third cousins to the bookstore that Lang Zhong said, and sure enough, he found the only "General Compendium of Materia Medica" inside, which was basically the same as the book in the pharmacy.
So he spent a tael of silver to buy this "General Compendium of Materia Medica", planning to use intermediate memory skills to increase his memory in a few days.
I also want the eldest brother to take a look at them and increase their knowledge, if they really encounter good medicinal materials in the mountains, they will not miss it in vain.
Seeing that they were almost busy, Qin Xiu and the three of them walked towards the weapon shop.
This is the meeting place they made with the eldest brother.
Here, Qin Xiu and the two cousins each changed a new bow, and the two cousins were not very old, and they have not changed their bows until now.
In addition, Qin Xiu also bought a hundred arrows, planning to make some arrows himself after he went back.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing the eldest brother and them coming, Qin Xiudu waited a little impatiently, and finally saw that the eldest brother and them were late.
Big Brother Road:
"Third brother, have you been here for a while?"
Qin Xiudao:
"That is, you see that each of us picked a good bow and arrow, which cost almost ten taels of silver, do you want to choose one?"
Big Brother Road:
"No, a few days ago, we just changed not long ago!"
Qin Xiudao:
"Big brother, what's the delay in this?"
Second Brother Road:
"It's not that merchant yet, someone has to drag us to shoot arrows, and when we win, we laugh at us, saying that we can shoot so many prey, it's all a blind cat and a dead mouse. ”
Qin Xiudao:
"There is still such a thing, is it the owner or the manager of this merchant? It stands to reason that you should have been in a relationship with them for a while, doesn't it mean that the merchant is quite polite, and the silver taels given on weekdays are a few percent more than others?"
Second Brother Road:
It wasn't that the merchant embarrassed us, it was said that it was a relative of the merchant's family, I don't know if it was a relative of their uncle's family, or a relative of their uncle's family, anyway, the young master of their family, after we lost the arrow, said that we lost the gamble, and seized all the money we sent to the prey. ”
Qin Xiudao:
"No, big brother, you shouldn't bet with them, right?"
The more the second brother thought about it, the more unwilling he became:
"No, of course we won't gamble with them, but that young master has to say that we are betting with his men in archery, and we have to let the housekeeper withhold the money from our game. ”
So much money, not as much as before, when my father was still there, naturally nothing.
Now not only is there no important source of income, especially the mother is still sick in bed.
Qin Xiudao:
"Let's go, let's take a look! Maybe this housekeeper doesn't want to offend that young master, if he really dares to withhold our property, we won't do this merchant's business!"
Second Brother Road:
"Yes, the third brother will go now, eldest brother, there is a third brother here now, what are you afraid of them doing!"
The eldest brother agreed:
"It's okay, you can't let us suffer a loss in vain, you have to give us an explanation. ”
The crowd soon came to the door of a relatively wealthy and luxurious mansion in the county.
It looks very clean and classy, which makes people know at a glance that this family is by no means so simple, and it is definitely a very rich family.
Second Brother Road:
"Third brother, this is the place!"
Qin Xiudao:
"Then second brother, you go up and knock on the door, speak politely, don't be too blunt. ”
"Good!"
The door opens:
"What are you doing here?"
Qin Xiudao:
"Trouble this big brother to call your steward out, and say that we have just brought wild meat, and ask him to settle our account. ”
Menzi smiled bitterly:
"This ...... A few brothers, in fact, this matter is really not to blame on the steward, the key is that the cousin young master who came a few days ago was in a hurry to lose in the casino, so he wanted to cheat some money from you to turn over the book. ”
Second Brother Road:
"This big brother, you also comment, even if your young master wants to cheat us out of money, but you have to say that you are gambling with us to try archery, but you have never told us such a thing, so it is unreasonable to deduct our money like this!"
It didn't take long for a sedan chair to be lifted.
Yahuan whispered near the sedan chair:
"Miss, it seems that there are a lot of people around the door. ”
The young lady said in the sedan chair:
"Go and ask what's going on. ”
Yahuan Road:
"Yes, Miss!"
Yahuan turned around and walked forward:
"What are you guys doing in front of our house?"
Menzi Road:
"Yo, Bingqiao, Miss is back!"
Yahuan Road:
"What are they doing, why are they blocking our door?"
Menzi Road:
"Hehe, it's not the young master who caused the trouble, or you should let the young lady ask the young master!"
Yahuan Road:
"Young Master Cousin, what are these people doing?"
Menzi Road:
"These little brothers are here to bring game to our house, but it is said that the money has been deducted, hehe!"
Yahuan Road:
"Okay, I got it!"
Bingqiao turned around and returned to the sedan chair and replied in a low voice:
"Miss, it seems that the young master has seized the money of these people, and they are here to send wild game to the house. ”
Miss said:
"So they were them! A few live hares and two particularly fancy pheasants were sent to me the other day?"
Yahuan Road:
"Yes, Miss!
Miss said:
"My cousin is really, he gets into trouble all day long, and he looks like he's in a hurry to lose gambling money, so it's no wonder that my aunt has to send him over. ”
Yahuan Road:
"Miss, it looks like they don't want to go away!"
Miss said:
"Give them the money and send them away. ”
Qin Xiu was not tall, and could only faintly see the young lady's jade hand exposed from the window of the sedan chair.
However, the eldest brother and the second brother stood at an angle, and they could see the young lady at a glance.
Qin Xiu looked at the two of them with a very surprised look, it seemed that this young lady was definitely very beautiful and moving.
Even the eldest brother was amazed, which is enough to show how beautiful this young lady is!
Yahuan Road:
"Yes, Miss!"
Turning around and coming to Bingqiao Qin Xiu and the others, she saw that the eldest brother was a little taller and looked very good.
smiled and said:
"A few little brothers, how much money have you been deducted?"
Big Brother Road:
"Today we sent more prey, about 20 taels. ”
Yahuan Road:
"Okay, then my young lady asked me to give you 20 taels of silver. ”
Big Brother Road:
"Thank you, this Pretty Girl. ”
"Wait!"
A young man came out of the gate, looking very arrogant.
Menzi and Yahuan Road:
"Young Master. ”
