Chapter 101: The Difference Between a Villain and a Gentleman
Although the Hou family is one of the four great families of the Nanzhao Kingdom, it is the most maverick, because of its self-preservation thoughts, and never involved in politics, only business, so in the four major families, it can be said to be the last position.
However, it is precisely the same that the previous patriarch of the Hou family was thinking about how to earn more money for the Hou family in order to ensure that the family was long-lasting, so it can be said that he racked his brains to find a way.
And the businessman, what he earns is the profit of reselling items, like the things in the north are sold in the south and they are expensive, and the things in the south are even more expensive in the north, which is what everyone knows, but there is no way, who makes the road difficult, and the items are easy to destroy? Therefore, the goods that finally come from other places are naturally high in price and in short supply.
The Hou family does business, knowing this helpless reality, and it is not easy to make money for many years, but the patriarch of the previous generation was unwilling, and he brought all the food and flowers of other countries to Nanzhao again and again and cultivated them by himself.
Some can't live, some live, but the quality, the taste is very poor, this has made many people in the Hou family opposed, feel that the trouble is fruitless, but this is also an undying master, in the end he still let him successfully cultivate some strange flowers, and some medicinal materials, so he sold these things at a high price, the profit is great, the Hou family tasted the sweetness, so he embarked on the road of hunting curiosity and cultivation, with his own cultivation and then pretending to be wild or transported from other countries, making a lot of money.
Therefore, this is the way for the Hou family to make money, and the top of the mountain is the territory used by the Hou family to cultivate those things from other countries, so they will be so careful and vigilant, and rarely let outsiders enter the clan land and set foot on the top.
And the county lord was looking for an introduction to go up the mountain to find medicine, but the picture he drew when he turned his head was exactly the same as the Hu Cai they had just tried to plant last year. This immediately made the two of them realize that something was wrong. But who is Cangyun? The world's first swordsman. is the master of the Sword Alliance again, they can't afford to provoke them at all, so even if they know that the other party is lying, they can't break it, so they have to quickly pull the young master out to remind him, lest this young master, who has been scheming all day long, give Hu Caizhen out of the way for a while, isn't that equivalent to missing the way to make money in the clan?
Hou Zichu listened to the third master's reminder. His eyebrows furrowed again, and his eyes narrowed even more.
"You mean, they're here to get a handle on the deal?" Hou Zichu said and shook his head: "But the Sword Alliance is powerful and has strong financial resources, why does he share this from us?" ”
The third master spread his hands: "I don't know what to do, and it's what I can't figure out, but I still have to be careful, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable!" ”
Hou Zichu pursed his lower lip: "Does the third master have any good suggestions?" ”
"I don't take out this mustache. Just find something similar to deal with it, she said no. Let's say we can't help it......"
"However, what the county lord is asking for is to use it as a medicine primer! How can this healing and saving people be delayed? Hou Zichu immediately shook his head, and the third master immediately rolled his eyes: "My young master, our Hou family doesn't get involved in political affairs, and we don't mess with the rivers and lakes, we just do business, what do we have to do with the princess's safety?" You only think about the need to save the princess, if people find Hu Cai from the top of our mountain, wouldn't it be a big leak of the secret of the family's wealth? If you are really afraid that something will happen to the princess, you might as well say that our clan has not been able to find this thing, but the runner who went to the Northland to do business looked at this thing and said, saying that it was a northland Hu vegetable, and then the next day we would find one for her and it would be over! ”
Hou Zichu shook his head when he heard this: "No, it won't work." Cang Gongzi and the county lord can find us here, or point out the top of the mountain, I am afraid that we know it, if we say no, annoying Cang Gongzi, then I am afraid of ......"
"Young master, don't worry about this, let's promise to help them find Hu Cai the next day, and they will have no excuse to make it difficult. What's more, in the end, the patriarch and Canggongzi have some friendship, and now the patriarch is sick in bed, if he forcibly goes up the mountain at this time, then he will be wrong, and naturally it will not be difficult for a strong man at this time, isn't it? ”
The third master's words were the first to say, even if Hou Zichu was still a little hesitant, but he couldn't stand him from talking about the family, so he nodded helplessly after all: "That's it, just come according to your wishes, but before I do this, I have to go to my grandfather's place first and inform him that the old man promised it, after all, we can't afford to provoke the Sword Alliance." ”
The third master blinked and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll go and call someone to stop me first, and you can go to the patriarch to ask for a word or two!" ”
"Cheng, then this ......" Hou Zichu said, turning his head to look at the hall.
"Young master, go straight to the patriarch, I'll say you have something to do, leave first, anyway, the two of us are with us, and the young lady is here, it's not too lazy."
Hou Zichu nodded when he heard this: "Okay, I'll come when I go, you will take care of it first, oh, restrain Zijiao, she has already made a mistake today, fortunately others don't pursue it, so you have to suppress it, don't let her mess around again." ”
"I know the way, you can rest assured." After the third master finished speaking, he got out of the way, and at that moment Hou Zichu quickly went to the courtyard of his grandfather's side, and the third master recruited two people, and after whispering the words, he returned to the hall.
"Eh, third master, why are you the only one, my brother?" Hou Zijiao, who had been sitting in the hall and listening to the idle talk between the seventh master and the young man without a word, and was bored, immediately got up and asked as soon as she saw that only the third master came in.
"Oh, the young master has to deal with the matter himself, he has to go over first, but he will be back soon." The third master said and bowed to Cangyun: "The waiter is not well entertained, please forgive me for the rudeness, bear with me!" ”
Cang Yun chuckled at him when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, but picked up the tea and blew it slowly: "Third Master Hou, I suddenly want to ask, where is the difference between this villain and a gentleman?" ”
Cang Yunzhi asked, and immediately made the people in the hall look inexplicable, after all, who would be a guest at someone's house and ask this kind of question that two does not cross five? However, as soon as these words came out, Hou San's face had a look of consternation, but then he smiled stupidly: "Young Master Cang, the old man is just a businessman, and he can figure it out but a plan, but he is not a great Confucian who has read the book of sages, you are afraid that you are asking the wrong person, right?" ”
Cang Yun smiled and turned her head to look at Hou Zijiao: "Miss Hou, as an apprentice of a famous teacher, should be able to answer, right?" ”
Hou Zijiao blinked when she heard the words and looked at the seventh master with a smile, obviously she belonged to the kind without ink in her stomach.
Seeing this, the seventh master was about to answer, but Cang Yun turned his head to look at Qin Fang: "The county lord has read poetry and books, and he finally answered, right?" ”
Qin Fang glanced at him, and then spoke: "The heart of a villain, fight evil with evil, the heart of a gentleman, and turn good into good." ”
As soon as these words fell, the third master's face was a little yin and black, but just as he was about to speak, Cang Yun's face suddenly changed, and he got up and said, "It's not good, someone in Hongye's courtyard exclaimed!" As soon as he said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Fang, and quickly took her out of the hall: "Let's go over and have a look!" And when the words fell, the person had already taken Qin Fang out of the house, not to mention, but also to pick up Qin Fang with a flick of his hand, in Qin Fang's surprise, a step on the roof was easy to go on, and then after two vertical jumps, she was directly carried into a courtyard by Cangyun, and what could be heard in the ears was that someone in the house was screaming in panic: "Master, wake up, wake up!"
