Chapter 331: Threat and Dumbfounded
"Girl, someone handed a prayer note outside the door." Chang Shi took a very delicate post and sent it to Lin Zhu's hand.
"Who is it?" After taking it, Lin Zhu didn't open it immediately.
"He claims to be from the capital, and he has important matters to discuss with you." Chang Shi replied.
"How did he know me?" Lin Zhu was a little puzzled.
"This ......" Chang Shi also hesitated for a moment, paused and said, "He said that he had an important matter to discuss with the owner of the bamboo garden, and did not mention the girl's name. Could it be that the person who came didn't know the girl? ”
"I shouldn't know," Lin Zhu nodded, and picked up the post just now, "My name is not written on it, but where is this Hui'an Hou Mansion?" She didn't understand it, and she didn't have the impression of knowing this Hou Mansion in her mind.
"Hui'anhou?" Chang Shi also looked puzzled. Neither the General's Mansion nor the General's Mansion has dealt with this Hui'an Hou Mansion. How did you suddenly come to the door? "Girl, this Hui'an Hou is also quite famous in the capital, but we have very little contact with him in our house. However, this Hui'an Hou is a name given by the first emperor, although the children of the Zhao family are uneven in recent years, but they still have a certain influence in the capital. ”
"Young Master Yue's maternal ancestor is the current Hui'an Hou." Chang Shi added.
"yes, let's bring someone in." Since it is Lin Yuewei's maternal grandfather's family, this bit of face still has to be given.
The person who came was the outer court manager of the Hui'an Hou Mansion, Zhao Dacheng. He rose all the way from the shopkeeper of a Zhao Ji rice shop to the position of steward, and he is a person with some ability.
Although the Zheng family handed the news to the Hou Mansion, Zhao Dacheng immediately set off from the capital. All the way to Song County, after meeting Zheng Changming, he came to the bamboo garden to have a face-to-face interview with the owner of the bamboo garden.
It's just that Zheng Changming only cares about currying favor with him, and some specific things actually 'forgot' to tell him, for example, the owner of the bamboo garden is a little girl, and the news that the owner of the bamboo garden is a person from the capital, and the last thing is that the garrison general of the state capital has gone too far for the bamboo garden.
If Zhao Dacheng had known these news in advance, he would definitely not be like this. Enter the door of the bamboo garden with a high frame.
"Steward Zhao, please come in." When Zhao Dacheng entered the door, he stated his identity. The steward of the Hou Mansion of Hui'an. If it is in the capital, some people who have a request for the Hou Mansion will call him Chengye. And after the power in his hands grew bigger and bigger, Zhao Dacheng also enjoyed the taste of being honored like this.
But the steward of a small garden dared not respect himself. He was a little displeased with Zhao Da. Plus. He reported his name. Zhao Daben said with a smile on his face, his name is Zhao Dacheng, and his name is Zhao Da. I don't know how to think it's a brother, hehe.
Zhao Dacheng's face darkened on the spot. However, for the sake of the Hou Mansion's major affairs, he did not turn his face, but secretly decided that after the matter was successful, he would definitely make Zhao Da look good.
Zhao Dacheng entered the room where the guests were in the front hall, and found that the person sitting on the top seat was actually a girl, and felt that he was insulted, thinking that the people in Zhuyuan didn't take his identity in their eyes at all, so they arranged for someone to see him so perfunctorily.
"Steward Zhao, this is our girl, you can tell her anything about it." Zhao Da introduced, "Girl, this is the steward of the Hui'an Hou Mansion in the capital, Zhao Dacheng." ”
"Give Steward Zhao a seat." Lin Zhu waved his hand.
"This girl, I have something important to discuss with your parents, can you tell them to come over?" Zhao Dacheng looked down on Lin Zhu who was sitting on the top seat, so he didn't have the number of courtesies he should have, and asked directly.
"Elders?" Lin Zhu was a little puzzled, "Could it be that Steward Zhao is not the owner of this garden that Steward Zhao wants to see?" ”
Zhao Dacheng nodded, "Exactly." Suddenly looked up at Lin Zhu, and then at Zhao Da who sent him in, "Could it be that the girl is the owner of this garden?" ”
"This garden belongs to my girl." Zhao Da despised him a little in his heart, but he was still very happy to see that his arrogant face finally showed an expression of disbelief.
"I'm sorry for being rude." Zhao Dacheng reacted quickly, and knew that his expression just now was very inappropriate, so he admitted his mistake immediately.
"It's okay," Lin Zhu looked at Lin Yuewei's face and didn't embarrass him. "I don't know what Steward Zhao is doing here?" As soon as he saw him like this, he knew that he definitely didn't come for Lin Yuewei, or he didn't know that Lin Yuewei was here.
"Under the order of the Hou Ye, there is something very important to discuss with the girl, do you see if it is ......" He glanced at Zhao Da who was standing aside, as well as Mu Jingwen and Minglu behind Lin Zhu.
"It doesn't matter, they're all my cronies. You can say anything. Lin Zhu glanced at the people who were following Zhao Dacheng, the meaning was obvious, you are an outsider and a follower, how can my people have a reason to go out, thinking that it is in your house.
"I wonder if the girl has ever heard of the special watermelon?" Zhao Dacheng decided to test it first.
"I've heard people mention it." Lin Zhu's heart moved, but his face was still calm.
"This special watermelon is very popular in the capital, ten taels of silver each, and it can't be sold." Zhao Dacheng said the selling price of the watermelon in order to observe Lin Zhu's reaction.
"Really? So expensive? Lin Zhu was very surprised, looking completely unaware.
Zhao Dacheng was stunned by her exaggerated expression, and reacted in an instant, this is acting with himself.
"It's nothing, and it didn't take long for another special white rice to come out, and it was sold to the palace. It's become a tribute to rice. Zhao Dacheng showed an envious expression on his face, "The people of the Muyue Trading Company, their heads are about to be lifted to the sky, the people behind them, let alone the bones, they can't even drink the soup, alas." A look of grievance and helplessness, coupled with a little sadness. If Lin Zhu was a completely uninformed person, he would have almost been deceived by him.
"And such amazing white rice?!" Everyone acted together, and Lin Zhu gave full play to his 20 years of experience in watching TV.
Looking at Lin Zhu's appearance of not entering, Zhao Dacheng gradually felt that something was wrong in his heart.
It's too cunning to poke out her words at all. Nothing useful was provided. If you talk about it for a long time, you just do half a day of day work, and it is useless.
"Let's open the skylight and say something, our Hou Ye heard that there are special watermelons and special white rice here in Zhuyuan, and I hope to cooperate with Zhuyuan." Zhao Dacheng directly explained the intention.
Although from Zhao Dacheng's words, Lin Zhu is suspicious that he is here for these two things. But why did he know that he had these two things? Where did he know the Tao? How much does he know? These made Lin Zhu very puzzled.
"Steward Zhao is joking, how can I have such a precious thing, how can I have a small garden?" Lin Zhu decided to deny it to the end first.
"Girl, you have to think clearly, since you came to find you, she naturally knows that you have here, and the Hui'an Hou Mansion is not something you can offend." Zhao Dacheng put down this sentence, "You have to think about it in the past two days, and you will come back in the next place." After saying that, he took his followers and left.
"Uncle Zhao, what's going on?" After Zhao Dacheng left, Lin Zhu's face turned black all of a sudden. Zhuyuan was actually exposed?! She was so surprised.
Zhao Da's face turned pale, and he was also extremely surprised. "Girl, I dare to go up and check."
Lin Zhu returned to his yard with a solemn face. And Chang Shi and Aunt Chang were waiting for her there.
"Girl, what is he doing here?" Aunt Chang asked first, Lin Zhu's face was not good, she immediately helped Lin Zhu to sit on the chair, and poured a cup of tea.
"Uncle Chang Shi, there are special watermelons and special white rice in the bamboo garden, let them know the truth." Lin Zhu picked up the important ones and said them.
"How so?" Aunt Chang covered her mouth in surprise.
"I'll check it out right away." Chang Shi's face was serious, and there was a cold light in his eyes. If a child sees it at this time, it is estimated that it will be scared and crying.
"I've already asked Uncle Zhao to check." Lin Zhu stopped Chang Shi. She was not very suspicious of the news coming out of the house, because the people in the garden, except for Zhao Dahe and a few previous stewards, did not know about the special watermelon and special white rice in Ludao.
"Uncle Chang Shi, I want you to check if there are any suspicious people around our garden recently." Lin Zhu felt that if he caught both inside and outside, he might be able to check faster.
And she didn't pay attention to Zhao Dacheng's two-day deadline at all. Not to mention that he is a little steward, even if Hui Anhou comes in person, she will deny the matter to the end.
However, this matter has to be informed to the Muyue Commercial Bank in the capital, and other people's families have come to the door, and they are still unaware. And the Muyue Trading House is also very suspicious. There are quite a few people who have come to the trading houses in Song County.
Although Lin Zhu didn't deliberately mention this in front of the three old men, they should know the Dao, or they should know the Dao. I have already sent competent people out to find out where the loopholes in the matter are.
After Zhao Dacheng returned to the inn, he sprinkled all the qi he received in the bamboo garden in the house, and smashed the teacup in one fell swoop.
"Hmph, a little girl's score is not small, it annoys Cheng Ye, take down your garden and see who dares to help you." Zheng Changming mentioned to Zhao Dacheng a long time ago that Zhuyuan can have today, and it may also have a certain relationship with Wu Jinpeng, the magistrate of Song County, maybe he is behind the people of Zhuyuan.
This is also Fang Youwei and Fang Shaohua's father and son in order to vent their anger, so they revealed Wu Jinpeng.
"What is the magistrate of Song County, I hope you don't toast and don't eat and drink. If you dare to stand in the way of the Hou Mansion, there will be no good fruit to eat. ”
After Zhao Dacheng vented, his attendant suddenly sent him a letter from the capital.
He thought it was from the Hou Ye, so he immediately opened it, only to find that it was actually sent by the married eldest lady.
The letter said that Seventh Young Master Lin was now living in Zhuyuan, and she was not at ease, so she asked him to bring Seventh Young Master back to the capital.
After reading the letter, Zhao Da felt a little dazed and didn't know how to react for a while. (To be continued......)
