For two days, Zu Zhenlin missed it in his heart, and he didn't see him for a day, and he was thinking like crazy. Fortunately, two days were short, otherwise Zhenlin would really not think about tea and dinner, and his clothes and belts would gradually widen, making people haggard.

Two days later, the weather was sunny and bright, and the city was not affected in any way, and it was still full of people and bustling. Zu Zhenlin followed his eldest brother to visit the Yao family again, and after passing the street where they fought, the street had returned to normal, smooth and tidy, and there was no gravel in the ravine.

Zu Zhenhui noticed his younger brother Zhenlin's surprised gaze and explained: "Yingxue City is not affiliated with any force, there is no city lord, but there are four major families in the city, they are the strongest and the most powerful. In order to maintain law and order in the city, plan the construction of the city, and maintain the development of the city, the four of them formed an alliance, the city lord is their master, every four years, the cycle repeats, the current principal should be the Jin family, they collect taxes, build and repair public buildings, because it is fair, everyone agrees with this approach, this street should be their masterpiece, and the efficiency is okay. Because it is their people who are in charge, it often happens that their children do evil and no one controls them. ”

"Then they won't be corrupt? Then who knows?" asked Zu Zhenlin.

"The four of them will contain each other, and there are some gang families with strong external strength that can supervise and audit the accounts. Zu Zhenhui explained.

"Outsiders are regulators, and they will be willing. Zu Zhenlin was puzzled.

"Of course you can, it doesn't matter if they want to or not, as long as you're powerful enough to bring them to their knees. Our ancestral family and that medicine family are like this, of course, we can't compare to the medicine family, but we are not bullied. However, in the past ten years, the four families have developed too fast, and we have kept a low profile, so they have been a little inflated, and they are a little dissatisfied with the interests we occupy, but they have not yet made a fuss, and they are acceptable. ”

Zu Zhenlin listened to the eldest brother explain the entanglement of interests, and was a little touched, this still has to pay attention to fists.

When I came to the medicine house again, it was the housekeeper who led the way, this time the housekeeper was more kind, there was no smirk to deal with, and there was more sincerity, presumably because he knew that Zhenlin had helped.

Zu Zhenlin looked left and right, but did not see the shadow.

Entering the hall, the four family heads had already sat down and waited, the two family heads of Jin and Li had solemn faces, and the other two family heads were expressionless and couldn't see any emotions.

This time there was no long wait, the son of the medicine family waited until everyone arrived, and then came out, without the last greeting and hospitality, went straight to the topic, there was no room for maneuver, did not buy the Li family's medicinal materials, and no longer sold to the Li family's pills within three years, cut half of the Jin family's herb purchases, halved the pills within three years, and the amount cut out was three points, and the ancestral family accounted for most of it.

Zu Zhenlin didn't care about what he said at all, she only had loss in her heart, and she still didn't come forward. Zhenhui was very happy to hear the news, and knew in his heart that he would get some benefits this time, but he didn't expect it to be so huge.

After the pharmacist finished speaking, he got up to see off the guests, and the four heads of the family left on their own. The son of the medicine family sent the two brothers of the ancestral family out of the house, saying sorry, they should have had a meal, but there is something in the family, and his sister has already left first, and he has to deal with the matter here, so he has to chase them, it will not be handled so simply, but the matter is urgent, and it cannot be delayed, so it can only be like this.

Zu Zhenlin knew that the medicine girl had left, and his heart was even more lost, this separation, thousands of miles apart, I am afraid there is no chance to see her face again.

Zu Zhenlin proposed to go to the mutton soup restaurant to eat again, and Zhenhui had no objection. The two came to the restaurant again.

It's not noon, it's not a meal, there's no last crowded noise, the proprietress is bored fiddling with abacus, and the boss is eating meat and drinking.

Zhenhui said hello and asked for mutton soup and flatbread, but the boss still smiled innocently and went to the kitchen to prepare. Zhenhui saw that his younger brother was not very interested, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only be silent.

The boss was quick with his hands and feet, and he didn't wait too long to bring things up, Zhenhui saw that the boss was also eating, in order to liven up the atmosphere, he asked the boss to eat together, the boss and Zhenhui were familiar with each other, and they didn't shirk it, brought their own food, and sat down to eat.

"Boss, I see that your business is very good, why did you open in such a small alley, and you didn't think about changing to a better place and making more money. Zu Zhenlin asked curiously.

The boss replied: "Since my grandfather, he has been doing business here, how can I give up my ancestral business." And I don't have any skills, so I can make mutton soup flatbread and nothing else, so how can I make it big. It's better to nest in this place, to be free, to rest whenever I want, without hard work, I don't have any big ambitions, I think it's good to do so. ”

"What about my sister-in-law? I can make more money and live a better life in another place, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to suffer every day. ”

When the boss heard Zu Zhenlin ask his wife, he was overflowing with happiness, "She prefers to stay here, if she makes a lot of money when she goes out, when the time comes, a bunch of matchmakers will introduce me to the concubine, what should she do? "The man of Mu Ne will also have a sense of humor when talking about his beloved.

"You just blow it, and you're not afraid of flashing your tongue, just your three-inch nail body, and the old lady doesn't dislike you, if you weren't strong enough to make the old lady comfortable, the old lady would have let you go. You nest here, obviously afraid that after you go out, someone will covet the beauty of the old lady, and when the time comes, the old lady will not look down on you and leave you. ”

The boss smiled stupidly and stopped refusing.

Zu Zhenlin looked at the two bickering, a little envious, what kind of life is, he knows how he is warm and cold.

------------

Back at the shop, Zu Zhenlin was a little depressed and went back to his room to rest. Zu Zhenhui went to the study and sorted out his thoughts, he thought it was just a small profit, but he didn't expect to get a huge profit, and the development of the Jin and Li families lagged behind for three years, I am afraid that the contradiction was invisibly exacerbated, and the two of them did not dare to offend the medicine family, so they could only vent their anger to the Zu family, and Zhenlin was also a participant, so he had to guard against it.

Zu Zhenhui thought for a long time, in order to ensure the comprehensiveness, repaired a book, explained the before and after, and the stakes were clear, came to the courtyard, blew a whistle to the sky, and a white rainbow crossed in the air, and then a white falcon appeared on Zhenhui's outstretched arm, and the whole body was not stained with variegation, and it was snow-white. This kind of falcon is unique to the snow field, and it is also extremely rare on the snow field, the flight speed is extremely fast, good at good luck and avoiding harm, it is very suitable for transmitting news, but the white falcon has a strong temperament, does not know how to yield, and is captured by humans, and must die of hunger strike, so if you want to train, you can only start from the young falcon, but you also need to pay attention to the fact that its parents must be eliminated, otherwise its parents will definitely kill it when they see the child lose their freedom, and they are not reckless, they are very good at catching the timing, which is difficult to prevent. Therefore, it is almost impossible for humans to have a white falcon, and this white falcon was obtained by the second uncle by chance, and its parents died because of the fight for food, leaving the young children, and the second uncle took it home to be domesticated.

Zu Zhenhui fed a piece of meat, tied the letter to his leg, and touched its head. The white falcon has sharp eyes, and at this time it blinks very humanly as a gesture of friendship, and then spreads its wings and flies high, turning into a white rainbow again.

After Zu Zhenhui finished doing this, he asked the shopkeeper again, did the guy sent out to keep an eye on him report anything abnormal? The shopkeeper said no. Zhenhui was a little relieved, and now he is waiting for the family's reply, and then he will return. In the past few days, you can take Zhenlin to visit Yingxue City, although the four families have a grudge against their ancestors, but because they have accumulated power for a long time, they still dare not make a blatant move, so they can only go out of the city and secretly attack. This is a watershed in how the ancestral family and the four families get along in the future, if the ancestral family destroys their conspiracy by thunderous means, then they will still respect the ancestral family and dare not encroach on the slightest; if the ancestral family is a little weak, then they will be pressed step by step in the future.

At dinner, Zu Zhenhui looked at his younger brother Zhenlin and still couldn't raise his interest, and was a little puzzled, could it be that the young man was affectionate and affectionate, he hadn't experienced it, and he didn't know what it was like.

"Now that the business is done, we're going to stay here for a few days, and from tomorrow onwards, my brother will take you to some fun places, and I'm sure you'll like it. Zu Zhenhui smiled mysteriously.

"Was there anything fun? I went out for a walk that day and didn't see anything, just some food. Zu Zhenlin said flatly.

"Yingxue City is so big, what can you go to in a day, and you are a stranger, what people can tell you can only tell you to eat. The most fun thing is to go to Nancheng District, where it is the place to buy and sell entertainment, and my brother will take you to see the world. And there is a Taobao bar there, where there is a real mixture of fish and dragons, mud and sand, some people get rich once, some people lose their hooves, it is really a test of people's luck and eyesight. Zu Zhenhui introduced.

Zu Zhenlin asked, "What still tests people's luck? Is it jewelry?"

Seeing that Zhenlin didn't believe it, Zu Zhenhui continued to explain: "Of course, it includes jewelry, not only jewelry, but in fact, the most important thing is pills, exercise books, herbs, etc. The prices in the shops have been clearly marked, some wild repairs, no background, can't afford to buy good ones, and those inferior ones can't be looked down upon, so go to Nancheng to exchange some. Not only Ye Xiu, but also people from famous and wealthy families will also try their luck, hoping to find the best thing. ”

"Then why set up a stall, isn't it more profitable and convenient to open a shop directly?" Zu Zhenlin was still puzzled.

"How can people who go to the Taobao bar to set up stalls have money? They also collect all kinds of herbs, dig graves, cheat things, and get them, and nine times out of ten their things are fake, or not worth it. Of course, there have been good things in it that can attract people to pay money. A few years ago, there was a vendor who took out a shriveled fruit, without leaking a trace of aura, and actually asked for thirty spirit stones, although it was inferior, but looking at it this way, it was obviously a pit person. No matter how the peddler bragged about how rare this one was, he was fortunate enough to have almost lost his life, and no one bleed to buy it. But in the end, there was a rich master, listening to him say that it was fun, so he bought it, and after confirming that it was non-toxic and harmless, he ate it on the spot, you know? Zu Zhenhui said.

When Zu Zhenlin heard that there was such a fun thing, he finally became interested. Zu Zhenhui arranged to visit the Taobao bar tomorrow first, and then relax.
