Zhang Fu, Zhang Weize, the second master of the Zhang family, walked quickly to the courtyard of the boss Zhang Yuze. There was a hint of anger on his face. The subordinates who met him along the way all cautiously saluted him, and did not dare to say or do more.

"Big brother!" Zhang Weize pushed open the door of Zhang Yuze's study and called him loudly.

"What's going on in such a hurry?" Zhang Yuze put down the medical book in his hand and walked to Zhang Weize.

"Haven't you heard?" Zhang Weize took a sip of tea and looked at him again.

"Oh, do you mean that your father's goddaughter is coming to the capital?" Zhang Yuze suddenly said, "What's there?" Come on, she doesn't live in the house. He didn't dislike Lin Zhu as much as his second brother, and his daughter Zhang Manyun also sent him a letter, talking about the benefits of Lin Zhu both inside and out, and the meaning was very clear, so that he could be good at her. His daughter Zhang Yuze knows very well, and she has always been the most scheming in her heart, if even she approves of it, it means that this Lin Zhu is not as bad as they imagined.

"Hmph, I said I wouldn't come to the capital before, didn't I come too? Now that you don't live in our house, who believes it? Zhang Weize pouted.

"Second brother, why are you so disgusted with this Lin Zhu, even if she lives in the mansion, she is only a teenager, how much can she eat?" Zhang Yuze didn't really understand his behavior.

"This," Zhang Weize was asked, he couldn't say that because Dr. Zhang got a jade card a few years ago, his son liked it very much and always wanted it, but he didn't expect it to be given to Lin Zhu by the old man, and he has always held a grudge until now. It's a shame to say that. "I'm afraid that others will laugh at our family, and anyone will dare to take it home." He could only name one such far-fetched reason.

If the real reason is stated. It is estimated that Zhang Yuze thinks it will be even more inexplicable. There is such a person in the world. Inherently disgusted with some people for no apparent reason. Zhang Weize is like that. That's why he couldn't say a more convincing reason.

"If your father hears this, he will definitely make his old man unhappy again." Zhang Weize stood up, walked to the window, and wiped a pot of orchids. "Last time, you gave a pot of superb orchids, half sold and half given to Lu Da of Muyue Commercial Bank, my father was not very angry, that pot of orchids was given by this Lin girl."

"So what, just for a pot of flowers, my nose is not my nose, and my eyes are not eyes." When Zhang Weize thought of this stubble, he was even more depressed.

"Because the flower is so rare. Yun'er said when she wrote to her. This forest bamboo gave my father another pot, and it is still blooming in the cold winter. Tell me yourself, can your father not be angry when you sold such a pot of flowers for the price of a cabbage? Zhang Yuze felt that this second brother was the father of several children. Still not much growth.

"Really? Still blooming? How much is that worth? Zhang Weize's eyes seemed to shine with silver light.

"You!" Zhang Yuze saw him like this. He shook his head helplessly. "It's a blessing to have two pots of this superb orchid. That's something that money can't buy. ”

Zhang Weize did not get a satisfactory answer from Zhang Yuze, and left a little depressed.

"Uncle, what's wrong with Second Uncle?" Zhang Yuze's wife, Wang, holds a cup of soup. Entered the study.

"He, he hasn't always liked the goddaughter that his father recognized, and he heard that this Lin Zhu girl is coming to settle in the capital and came to complain to me." Zhang Yuze and Wang sat at the table together, "You did it yourself?" A big family's business is enough for you to be busy, why are you doing all this? ”

"The concubine is thinking that the uncle has been too tired recently, so she wants to do what she can." Wang smiled slightly, lifted the lid of the cup, and a pungent fragrance came out of the cup.

"It's so fragrant, only a lady has such a craft. For her husband, how can she marry the daughter of the Wang family. Zhang Yuze said with emotion.

"Uncle is used to making fun of concubines. Drink it while it's hot, Yun'er is not around these days, and the concubine really misses her. While serving him soup, Wang said, "I wonder when she will come back?" ”

"I have already written that I will come back after the New Year. Yun'er's letter is full of praise for this Lin Zhu. Zhang Weize's words made Wang frown slightly, and asked in a somewhat annoyed tone, "This girl's surname is Lin?" ”

Zhang Weize was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Madam, it's just a little girl from the countryside, and she can't fight with the Lin family." ”

"Hmph, the surname Lin doesn't have a good thing, he hurt my sister so badly, they can still be so comfortable and live so happily, God is really blind." The surname Lin in Wang's mouth is the third child of the Lin family, and it is precisely the father that Lin Zhu has never seen or heard of. is also Wang's niece. But now everyone doesn't know what to do.

"Madam, my little sister is living well in Jiangnan now, so don't worry about it anymore." Zhang Yuze gently patted Wang's clenched fist because of anger. "And there are not many people who know the Tao of the past, you always keep it in mind, but it is not good for your little sister." The little sister in Zhang Yuze's mouth is Wang's sister and Lin Zhu's mother.

"The concubine is just wronged for the little sister in her heart." Wang gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I know that my little sister is doing very well now, and she has both children and daughters, which is enough." Zhang Yuze comforted on the side.

"But I don't know where my poor niece is. has been in the capital for so many years, and there is not even a little news of her, could it be that Lin Laosan's wolf-hearted thing has been lost? Wang shivered a little at the thought of this possibility.

"How is it possible, tiger venom still eats children? It's because you think about it too much, I've been secretly inquiring all these years, I haven't heard that any daughter of the Lin family has died early, and she must be alive and well. In fact, Zhang Yuze just said this to comfort his wife Wang's heart, although he has been secretly paying attention to it for many years, but there has been no news of the child, in his opinion, most of them are no longer alive. But how did this make him open up to his wife?

But they didn't know that the child in their mouth was getting closer and closer to them.

The shopkeeper Du of Muyue Commercial Bank sent a steward surnamed Fang to the capital to find a house that suited Lin Zhu's requirements, but this steward was Fang. Relying on the fact that he was an old man in the Muyue Trading House (in fact, the Muyue Trading Bank had only been established for four or five years), and because the shopkeeper Du came a year later than him, he was in charge of him, and he was already dissatisfied in his heart.

Seeing that he had arranged such an errand for himself, and did not give him full authority to handle the money, he would not get any benefit at all, and he would be even more passive and slacking off. After going around the capital for several days, I was looking for a few houses. He thought that the shopkeeper Du lived by himself, so there were few houses, and there were no prosperous areas. There is one that is not even far away from the famous old red light district.

He thought that he had gone to the shopkeeper Du. Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper Du heard what he said, his face immediately darkened. looked at him with an angry face, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn Steward Fang. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but wince.

"House, I'll look for it myself. You go to this place to oversee the work. Be sure to let the craftsmen keep the house. Build according to this diagram. "Shopkeeper Du didn't punish him severely, it was to give Lu Mingtao face, for the sake of the face that Steward Fang had been following. He was given an easier job.

I didn't expect that kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and being an overseer could smash the work.

When Steward Fang saw that he was assigned to a countryside seventy or eighty miles away from the capital, he was more uncomfortable as a supervisor for a house than asking him to find a house in the capital.

When the house was about to be completed, Shopkeeper Du and Lu Mingtao came to check, and they were almost angry. Originally, the courtyard of Sanjin was built into a large courtyard, and there were houses on the front and back, left and right, but the courtyard was surrounded by a square, the gate was very small, and even a carriage could not pass, and the materials of the house were also very crude, compared with the money spent by the shopkeeper Du, it was simply the scum of the slag.

Because the arrival of the two did not inform Steward Fang, they did not see him in the mansion, so they could only wait in the mansion.

When the steward returned to the mansion drunk, he saw Lu Du and the others standing in the courtyard with a blue face, and immediately woke up in fright. He knelt down in front of Lu Mingtao with a thud. But he couldn't say a word of justification.

"Go back and pack your things, fuck off!" Lu Mingtao didn't talk nonsense, and drove people directly. Steward Fang still wanted to intercede, but was frightened by the fierceness in Lu Mingtao's eyes. I had to run away.

"The big boss, I also have to bear some responsibility, he was sent by me, and please punish the big boss." The shopkeeper Du didn't mention the other party's affairs, he was very angry and didn't say anything, and he hated that he actually provoked his anger again and again.

"Okay, you don't need to say more, what he thinks in his heart, I know very well, it's pure self-error. Not worthy of sympathy. Lu Mingtao waved his hand. Stopped the statement of the shopkeeper Du.

"Go and get the head of the craftsman here." Lu Mingtao commanded.

"Why don't you build it according to the pattern, and see if this house can be inhabited?" Lu Mingtao pointed to the soon-to-be-completed mansion and asked sharply.

"This owner, it's not to blame the villains, the master just now, how did the villains do it." The leader of the craftsman said helplessly, "The villain has also been persuaded, but the master said that he must do what he said, otherwise he will not be paid, we have not been paid for a long time, and the family is still waiting to buy rice for the pot, and please ask the owner, okay, give the villain's wages." After speaking, the craftsmen knelt down for Lu Mingtao and Du Shopkeeper.

"Okay, good for your surname Fang, Lao Tzu can't spare you." The shopkeeper Du scolded angrily, but the matter in front of him still had to be solved, and he settled the silver money for these craftsmen according to the wages he had agreed before, and compensated each of them with a hundred yuan. That's what calms these down.

"Shopkeeper Du, it seems that this matter is still going to trouble you. After Miss Lin and the others came, they could only live in the house in the capital first, and it would not be possible to build it here for a while. Lu Mingtao looked at the mansion in front of him, not only could he not live in it, but he had to tear it down and rebuild it, and he had already thought about how to punish Fang Guan and let him come here to work as a coolie, or the kind without wages, let him borrow courage from the sky, and actually dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head.

Shopkeeper Du also nodded yes, so it was the only way, fortunately, the house he was looking for in the capital could be moved in as long as it was slightly repaired, and the matter was not the worst. (To be continued......)
