Just as Lin Zhu and Lu Mingtao had relaxed their future cooperative relationship, Lin Zhu and Lu Mingtao were discussing some related issues on her idea of building a bamboo garden, when a group of uninvited guests came to the gate of Lin Zhu's house.

Steward Li was ordered by Li Dabai to come to Lin Zhu's house, wanting to get some good watermelon seeds from her. However, Li Dabai looked down on Lin Zhu quite a bit, thinking that she was an upstart (Lin Zhu was actually really an upstart), or a young and bullying nouveau riche, with no father or mother, and no backer in Song County, these were all they heard from Lin Feng, to be honest, Lin Feng didn't know much about Lin Zhu, Li Dabai did not do a good job of investigating Lin Feng, and he was doomed to failure.

Although Steward Li is a subordinate, he has been with Li Dabai for a long time, and he has seen some of the world, and because he is extremely snobbish, he looks down on ordinary people at all, not to mention the countrymen who are called mud legs. So although Lin Zhu had what they wanted in his hands, Steward Li still had a condescending attitude. "Go knock on the door and let that Lin Zhu come out to see me." He was very pretentious, and brought four or five men over, and called one of them to come up and knock at the door.

These guys are also the same as him, and the guy is not polite at the moment, he banged on the door of Lin Zhu's house vigorously, his voice was loud and urgent, and there was no courtesy at all.

"Who are you looking for?" One of Dr. Zhang's guards happened to be patrolling the front yard, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he came to open the door.

"You're so rude, why did you suddenly come out and be scary?" The young man raked backwards. The guard was a little angry, "Somebody is making trouble here, hurry up." The guard waved his hand like a fly, and didn't know them, so he thought about closing the door.

"Wait a minute." The young man was anxious, "We were sent by Master Li outside Li Yuanwai, you hurry up and let that person named Lin Zhu come out to meet our Steward Li." He commanded him unceremoniously.

"What did you say?" The guard was drawn back by his arrogant words, and his eyes were fixed on the young man. This young man only helps in the store on weekdays, and the people he comes into contact with on weekdays are ordinary people, and now he wants to show off his power with the Li family. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he ran into Dr. Zhang's guards. They have also seen some dignitaries and dignitaries with Dr. Zhang on weekdays, even those people's subordinates will not be so rude to them, the guards were a little angry by his attitude, and looked at him with a fierce look in their eyes.

The young man was frightened by his appearance. The steps are a little recoiling. Steward Li sat in the carriage. Hearing their movements, he coughed and spoke. "You go and tell Lin Zhu that I was sent by Li Yuanwai and asked her to come out to visit." Steward Li's voice is not small, and there is a bit of a sense of superiority, usually his style is very able to scare some people, but the guards I met today are all people who are used to seeing the world in the capital, and at a glance I know that they are not people who are on the stage, let alone invite them in, he didn't even bother to tell them, so he closed the door and turned back.

For a while, the scene was very quiet, only the leaves blown off by the cold wind swirled in front of Steward Li and his party. The taste of being ignored is not pleasant, and the taste of being ignored in public is even more uncomfortable, I didn't expect to be so disgraced here. Steward Li came out of the carriage with a pale face, and had been Li Dabai's butler for more than ten years, and he had never received this kind of treatment, which made him angry and rushed up.

"What a big boldness, if you don't eat and drink, then don't blame me for being rude." He snorted and looked at the closed door, "Go, slam the door for me, smash it hard." Steward Li pointed to the door and gritted his teeth and said, "The little subordinate is willing to be so arrogant, obviously he doesn't take the Li family in his eyes, and smashes me hard." "In fact, in Song County, even if there is such a thing, Steward Li will not take the liberty to smash other people's doors, he underestimates Lin Zhu too much, so he brings misfortune to himself.

The four or five men went up and slammed the door desperately, and even the guy who knocked on the door just now picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the door.

The loud bang not only frightened the people inside the door, but even the people outside the door.

Lin Zhu's newly made gate was smashed by the stone, and a large piece of paint was knocked off. "Steward Li, is there nothing wrong with this?" The guy who got into trouble looked at Steward Li with some fear. "Hmph, it's just the door of a country turtle, if you smash it, you will smash it, what can happen." Steward Li snorted disdainfully.

The door was suddenly opened, and Chang Shi walked out of the door with the guard just now, followed by several people who were all guards of Doctor Zhang. Seeing the smashed paint on the gate, he pointed to the place with an unkind face and asked sharply, "Who did this?" ”

Chang Shi and a few guards stood at the door, and the fierce aura immediately frightened a few young men to retreat. The young man who smashed the door with the stone did not dare to step forward, and cowered behind the others.

"Huh?" Chang Shi glanced at a few people coldly, "No one admits it?" The last looked at Steward Li, "You seem to be their head, and say, who did this?" Chang Shi didn't care about the surname of the person opposite, and stared directly at Steward Li.

"Are you Lin Zhu's subordinate? Just in time, call her out, we are from the Li family. Steward Li finished his words calmly, and at this time he hoped in his heart that Chang Shi would be polite to them because of the Li family's fame.

"The Li family? Which Li family? In fact, Chang Shi knew very well who sent them in his heart, but these were too arrogant, Chang Shi couldn't help but greet his mother in his heart, the guy who came to beg people to be so rampant, and let the donkey kick his head.

"Our master is Li Yuanwai in Song County, you are a little family member, you dare to be so rude," Steward Li was a little dead at this time, "My master can make you stay here with a wave of his hand, if you kneel down and kowtow, I can spare you once." ”

"Hmph, it's so majestic, and I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue." Chang Shi snorted coldly, "I tell you, leave here immediately, I don't care if you are the Li family or the Wang family, shouting in front of my house and smashing the door, paying twenty taels of silver, and then give me a roll, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." As soon as he finished speaking, several guards behind him were about to walk towards Steward Li and the others.

"You, what do you want to do?" Steward Li was a little panicked, and the name of the Li family couldn't suppress them, these people were even more fierce than bandits, and he shrank back when he was scared.

"Steward Li, let's go back first." The young man was scared, he really wanted to fight, and if he didn't have enough people to dish, he would definitely be cleaned up very badly, especially when he was grabbing a fist the size of a casserole, he chose to retreat very wisely.

Steward Li was actually afraid, but he still said calmly, "I, let me tell you, my lord is worthy of that Lin Zhu, so he uses her watermelon seeds. After he finished speaking, he quickly got into the carriage and ran away.

Chang Shi's face was very bad, he didn't expect this Li family to come to the door so quickly, and it didn't seem to be begging at all, so he had to tell Lin Zhu about it immediately. "Thank you for your help." Chang Shi arched his hand at the few people standing behind him. "Where, I'm waiting to live here, and I should help." These guards live very comfortably here, not only eat well, but also be idle, basically patrol every day, and then take turns to do sparring for Chang Tianlei, so they become very familiar with Chang Shi.

When Lin Zhu heard the news, his brows furrowed, the Li family? It's so arrogant, even a subordinate is so arrogant, let alone Li Dabai himself. Not to mention that Lin Zhu didn't want to give the second-generation seeds to people outside the Lin family village, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't give them to the Li family, of course, if he got a special watermelon from somewhere else, if he could leave the seeds, it would be another matter.

"I won't give him a seed." Listening to Lin Zhu's words, Lu Mingtao said softly, "Miss Lin, although the Li family has some power in Song County, it is nothing in the eyes of Muyue Commercial Bank. ”

"I heard that the Li family is related to the magistrate." Lin Zhu glanced at Lu Mingtao, and seeing that he didn't care, he knew in his heart that Lu Mingtao's methods should not take Zhixian in his eyes, and it seemed that Muyue Commercial Bank had a great background. As the saying goes, the current official is not as good as the current management, and in the land of Song County, he is not afraid of the county to wear small shoes, which is enough to show that the Muyue Commercial Bank is "there are people on it".

"Miss Lin don't worry, Dong Jisheng will give Lu a little bit of thin noodles." Lu Mingtao nodded affirmatively.

"Then thank you Lu Gongzi." Lin Zhu got up and saluted him. "Miss Lin is too polite, and this is also part of our cooperation." Lu Mingtao smiled and didn't care, he was not afraid to solve the trouble for Lin Zhu, he was afraid that Lin Zhu would not cooperate with them in the future.

The cooperation agreement that the two had discussed before did not discuss how long it would take, but he felt that Lin Zhu would not agree to cooperate with them permanently. In this way, the more help Muyue Commercial Bank provides to Lin Zhu, the greater the chance of long-term cooperation.

Lu Mingtao saw that it had been decided, so he said goodbye and left. He had to prepare the contract, and although the two had agreed, there was still a more detailed contract.

After Lin Zhu left, he also let Chang Shi go back to rest, he had heard what he said just now, and he would definitely understand what to do, if the Li family was not a threat, then Lin Feng should be solved by herself, and he should not let him hide in the dark all the time to make trouble for himself. (To be continued......)
