Chapter 97: The Lion Opens His Mouth

Zhen Dafu's family returned from a fiasco, and the resentment and unwillingness in their hearts were like endless waves, but they couldn't find an outlet to vent, and they were so suffocated that their internal organs hurt everywhere.

Because Shuwen was "frightened", Shujie and Shuyao wanted to comfort him, and "had to" let them send Zhen Dafu and the three out of the house. Orange brocade didn't talk much, and quietly walked in front to lead the way. Every time she saw Zhen Kebao posing like a handsome boy in front of a few of them, she secretly laughed.

This young master doesn't look bad, but don't stand with your own eldest young master, otherwise you will immediately be lined with only scum.

Halfway through, Lin suddenly remembered the main task of his visit today - to ask for gifts or gifts, and it was difficult for Xianggong and his son to speak, so he brought her here. Zhen Kebao, the eldest son of the Zhen Mansion, got married, and Xia Zhai, as the most face-saving aunt and grandmother of the Zhen family today, can he not make a little blood? Even if you can't take those treasures rewarded in the palace, then Jin Xida and Weiyuan Marquis Mansion should have given a lot of good things, right? It's not too much to take out a few things to make congratulatory gifts to Zhen Kebao.

Also, I heard that the dragon fruits sold by Wang Xi's North and South Currency Stores are all produced in the Xia Mansion Zhuangzi. The dragon fruit is a golden and expensive fruit, which has always been purchased from Western Fanbang, and a larger dragon fruit will be sold for three taels of silver. It's not that no one has seen this golden egg, many people have tried to plant it with great effort, but unfortunately no one has ever planted it successfully, and they all think that this fruit can't be planted in Dazhou.

A year ago, two dragon fruits from Da Zhou suddenly appeared, one was a large farm in Qiongzhou in the south, and the other was the Zhuangzi of the three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhai. The large farm in Qiongzhou produces a large amount of dragon fruit, but it is not so fresh when it is shipped to the north, and it is similar to that imported from the West. However, the dragon fruit produced by Xia Zhai Zhuangzi is big, fresh, and sweet, and it is more expensive than that imported from the West, but unfortunately most of them enter the capital, and they are sold very little in other places, but a few rich and noble families who have always had close business contacts with the North and South Currency Banks have grabbed some.

Zhen Kebao got married. If dragon fruit appears at the wedding banquet, how face-saving and showy it is?

"Wait, wait, I haven't told them about Bao'er's marriage gift!" Lin muttered and was about to turn back.

Zhen Dafu grabbed her, and he used too much force to almost let her wrestle again.

"Can you use your brains a little? The two people of the Zhang family are there, will they make you get your wish? Zhen Dafu glanced at the orange brocade walking in front, lowered his voice and shouted, "I won't take anything when the time comes, and I'll give you a storm all over the city." Shujie will also scruple one or two, Shuwen's dead boy is completely sideways. ”

I have to say. Zhen Dafu rarely sobered up once, and understood that once the Shujie brothers let go of any scruples, he had no way at all. I used to think that Shujie was in the way. In fact, the two little ones are more difficult to deal with, relying on their young age to pretend to be crazy and stupid, fox and fake tiger, Shu Yao's dead girl especially likes to turn over old accounts and tear old skins when there are many people. is also because they are young, as long as they cry and make trouble, some of them can be taken care of. Coupled with the previous rumors, as soon as there is a stir, most people will believe that they are being bullied again.

Zhen Dafu is not afraid of being unreasonable, he is afraid of Jin Xida, the Marquis of Weiyuan, and even the Queen Mother. Those two little ones dare to make trouble, looking at the situation of today's book, I am afraid that something as big as a sesame seed can make a big fuss like a watermelon. And things are a big deal. Zhen's mansion is definitely not a little cheap, Shujie and they have a brand to enter the palace to ask to see the queen mother.

Zhen Dafu began to regret that he didn't think about getting rid of Shujie two years earlier, so the Shuyao sisters and brothers, who had no support, had already pinched in his hands and made promises. Where did it become so arrogant now? But they didn't dare to do it casually, the first two years of the summer house was so popular, and the "reputation" of their Zhen Mansion was spread so badly, once Shujie had something, he was afraid that their Zhen Mansion would be the first to be found out. So I waited until the book was outstanding and filial piety before I thought about getting him far away, the mountains and rivers were far away, and there were many bandits on the road. If something happens, no one can rely on him.

Behold...... Alas, the three torturers are now getting more and more slippery. There is also more and more reliance.

Lin also knew that Lu Dao had a prelude just now, and she couldn't please it when she went back, but she was unwilling! After thinking about it, he shouted at the orange brocade in front of him, "Eh, what is your name brocade?" Tell your eldest young master, my cousin needs five hundred dragon fruits to get married, and let him send someone to Zhen Mansion in advance, I forgot to tell him just now. By the way, pick the big one! ”

Zhen Kebao added "cordially and politely": "Orange brocade isn't it? You tell Cousin Jie that you don't need to prepare other gifts, you can have dragon fruit, and we can't buy it before we open up to Cousin Jie. ”

Orange brocade replied crisply: "The slave maid is orange brocade." The slave maid of the dragon fruit happened to know that the eldest young master had a contract with the king of the North and South Currency Banks, except for the fruits left to the Queen Mother, Jin Gongzi and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the others were picked and sold by the North and South Currency Banks, and if we picked them privately, we would violate the contract and would compensate the North and South Currency Banks for five thousand taels of silver. Two days ago, the eldest master of the Xia Mansion wanted to buy a hundred from our Zhuangzi cheaper, and the eldest young master replied like this. Then the eldest lord of Xia Mansion was unwilling to pay the five thousand taels, so he gave up. ”

The "kind" smile on Zhen Kebao's face froze, and he almost stumbled with his left foot and fell forward with his right foot.

Isn't this nonsense? Three thousand taels of silver for a hundred dragon fruits? Isn't that nearly twenty times more expensive? Who wants to pay?

However, people have contracts there, and there are reasons to refuse wherever they go, so Wang Xi's north-south currency bank is not easy to mess with.

Orange Jin looked "uneven" and regretful: "Our young master and girl can only eat two or three a year, or the old man Wang specially left, and the total number of people in the entire mansion is not more than a dozen." ”

"That, forget it," Zhen Kebao said curtly. Orange Brocade's reaction didn't look like a fake, Shujie and they didn't know in advance that the three of them were coming, and they didn't know that they wanted dragon fruit, how could they not know the prophet and teach Orange Brocade something first?

In fact, those words are really not taught by Shujie or Shu Yao, since everyone knows that dragon fruit comes from the Zhuangzi of Xia Mansion, there are many people who can't buy dragon fruit, or want to eat fruit cheaper, or even eat fruit for free, come to the door to ask Shujie and the three brothers and sisters to buy it, Yang County Order, Xu Mansion Erfang, Xia Mansion, and even Xia Ruoxue in the capital are among these people. Thanks to Jin Xida, he has already formulated a unified set of rhetoric with Shujie and Wang Xi, and the big girls of Orange Brocade and Red Brocade have heard it so many times, and they will memorize it a long time ago.

Therefore, as soon as Orange Jin heard that this shameless person opened his mouth, he directly added oil and vinegar to his back. Five hundred? and if it is larger, it will be fifteen hundred taels of silver at market price. How dare you speak! Has anyone ever seen a cousin get married, a cousin, or a nine-year-old child, and give a gift of 1,500 taels of silver? "You don't need to prepare other gifts"? Orange brocade really wants to take a ruler to measure how thick the family's skin is?

The Lin family was angry, and wanted to say something, but a few people came up to them, and the mother-in-law led by her was dressed in a brown brocade dress, obviously dressed as a rich and noble housekeeper. Followed by two little maids and two little maids, the little maids were pushing a cart of things, which looked better than what the Zhang family had sent just now. Lin's eyes were full of greed and jealousy, and he wanted to pounce on him to take a good look.

The "fiery" gaze made one of the little guys with a cart "snort" disdainfully, and glanced at him unceremoniously. Where did this light-eyed woman come from? He hadn't seen him several times since he came to the summer house.

Lin was still immersed in the reverie of the car, and didn't notice the cold snort of the little guy's contempt, but Zhen Dafu and Zhen Kebao's faces instantly turned red into stewed prawns, and secretly scolded Lin for losing face.

Orange brocade greeted him warmly: "Mother Ke, you are here." Our girl was still babbling a few days ago that she hadn't received a letter from Sister Nangong for a long time. ”

Mother Ke also responded with a smile: "Isn't this coming, our girl has written a thick letter to Miss Yao and Young Master Wen." Orange brocade to send guests? Let's talk about it later, and I also brought you a few gadgets from the capital. ”

Orange Jin nodded happily: "First thank you Xie Ke's mother." ”

Ke's mother and her party walked far away, and Lin's eyes were reluctant to pull them back, Zhen Kebao couldn't help but pull her, and his face made his mother lose it!

Orange brocade is secretly funny. Zhen Mansion also has two big restaurants, do you want to be so ugly and greedy?

"Ahem," Zhen Dafu asked in a casual gesture, "Those people belong to the Nangong family?" Shu Yao, where did they meet their friends? He secretly guessed in his heart. It can't be the Nangong family, right? Looking at the clothes of Mother Ke and the maid, it is very likely.

Orange Jin replied: "It's the Nangong family in Huitong Qianzhuang, Nangong girl likes our girl and the second young master very much, and every once in a while she has to send someone to deliver letters and things." ”

Huitong Bank? Is it really the "richest man" Nangong family in Da Zhou? Zhen Dafu and the three of them gasped at the same time, when did the Shu Yao sisters and brothers climb to the daughter of the Nangong family? Look at the mother's familiarity with Orange Brocade just now. How many times have you been?

The Lin family was so jealous that their hearts and livers hurt, where did those two sharp-toothed criminals attract people? How can her Ling'er be cute? How can any good thing happen to any nobleman? Those people are really blind!

got out of the summer house and got into his own carriage. Lin was still resentful, and muttered, "Why don't you insist on letting that dead boy from Shujie go to Qingzhou?" What kind of scientific exams to take? What are the results of the exam, aren't we going to be more difficult to deal with him? Besides, the Ding family has negotiated everything, how can I tell them now? ”

"Shut up! Otherwise, get out of the car. Zhen Dafu almost didn't reach out to choke Lin's neck.

Zhen Kebao didn't want to help this brainless mother speak, it seemed that every time something was bad in her hands, and then she didn't even know it, she didn't know anything-
