From a grassroots to the largest cloth merchant in the city, Zhou Hongqing only took less than 20 years.

In addition to having no children under his knees, Zhou Hongqing is still very satisfied with this half of his life.

Although he has no son, he has a competitive daughter, who is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also knows the way of business well, just like now, he should go to the capital to talk about business, and his daughter went on his behalf.

He's happy to be idle.

Nearly half a hundred years old, Zhou Hongqing, who has reached middle age, is slightly blessed, with two handfuls of goatees, sitting on a recliner in the front hall, with a banana fan in one hand and a rosewood teapot in the other, humming a small tune, very happy.

"Master, master!"

Looking at Qiu Luo, who ran in in a panic, Zhou Hongqing sat up from the recliner.

Qiu Luo is her daughter Zhou Ziqiong's personal maid, and this time her daughter went to the capital to do business, so she didn't take her with her.

Seeing that she was so anxious, Zhou Hongqing asked with a smile, "Is Ziqiong back?" ”

Qiu Luo's head shook like a rattle, and she spoke angrily.

"Not Miss! Someone has broken in! He also said that he was the owner of this house! ”

"Oh?"

This time, Zhou Hongqing stood up from the recliner and narrowed his eyes.

"Who dares to be so bold? Even my Zhou Mansion dared to break in? ”

Although the businessman is not a popular character in Jingguo, Zhou Hongqing can also be ranked in Qinan City, who can't call him "Boss Zhou" respectfully when he sees him?

Dare to break into his own house, I don't know whether to live or die!

"Where are the people?"

"Back to the master, in the West Courtyard!"

"West Courtyard?"

"Yes, sir! They came in from the gate of the West Courtyard, and their faces were very raw, and when they came in, they said that he was the owner of the house, and asked Qiu Luo to come to the master! Sir, take a look! ”

After listening to Qiu Luo, Zhou Hongqing stroked his goatee and fell into deep thought.

If someone said that he was the owner of another courtyard, Zhou Hongqing would be able to give him a big mouth without saying a word, but in the western courtyard, the situation was a little complicated.

When he was not yet developed, the house in the west was a family surnamed Zhang, and later Miss Zhang married into the capital, and the house was empty, and Miss Zhang would only come back once in a while.

Later, he opened a cloth workshop to make money and was ready to renovate the yard, and the Zhang family's house was not in his consideration.

But her daughter Zhou Ziqiong has been partial to flowers and plants since she was a child, and the family planted a grapevine, and the vine grew longer and longer, and went directly into the house in the west over the east wall.

When renovating the yard, Zhou Hongqing wanted to cut down the grape vines, but Zhou Ziqiong didn't agree with anything, and finally Zhou Hongqing thought about it, and simply knocked down the east wall and incorporated the courtyard of the Zhang family into the Zhou family.

When he knocked down the courtyard wall, the house had been empty for nearly ten years, and at that time he still thought that this house was not inhabited anyway, so he would take it himself!

Even if the Zhang family came back in the future, he would send them away if he gave some money, but no one from the Zhang family came back later, and Zhou Hongqing almost forgot about it.

Now listening to Qiu Luo's words, Zhou Hongqing feels that the person who came is likely to be from the Zhang family!

"I'll take a look!"

………………

As soon as Zhou Hongqing entered the West Courtyard, he saw a handsome young man sitting on a stone chair under the vines, with Erlang's legs crossed.

When Zhou Hongqing looked over, the young man also saw him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled on his face, but he never got up, let alone spoke, the old god was staring at Zhou Hongqing, making him feel very uncomfortable!

It's not a good stubble!

That was his first feeling.

But Zhou Hongqing, who has been in business for many years, knows that the momentum of the negotiation is very important, as long as the momentum is weak at the beginning, you will lose.

So with a straight face, he asked in a cold voice, "Who is making trouble?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the small guys who followed Zhou Hongqing immediately surrounded Wu Di, wanting to cooperate with Zhou Hongqing's questioning and scare Wu Di.

But Wu Di didn't eat this at all, sat up and stretched, glanced at Zhou Hongqing, and said lazily: "Trouble? Who's going to make trouble? Why don't I report to the official and let the official come and see who is making trouble, okay? ”

Although Wu Di was in a tone of consultation with others, it was extremely harsh to Zhou Hongqing's ears.

Report to the officer?

How dare he!

Whether he takes advantage of it or not, he knows better than anyone else!

And as soon as he heard Wu Di's words, he knew that the other side was not a master who was easy to fool, so his tone was a little softer: "This son, I think there is some misunderstanding between us?" ”

"Misunderstanding?"

Wu Di sneered: "I want to ask Master Zhou, what misunderstanding can make you occupy my house?" ”

Zhou Hongqing frowned slightly, and then stretched out again.

"This son, you said that this house is yours, but what evidence do you have?"

"That old man Zhou said that this house is not mine, what evidence is there?"

It is said that whoever doubts, who adduces evidence, this surnamed Zhou also allows himself to prove himself, he is simply not old-fashioned!

"This ......"

Zhou Hongqing didn't know what to say now.

"Come on, no one should take evidence, let's report to the official!"

has a title deed in his hand, and his confidence is very hard, and Wu Di also knows that it is not a small sin to occupy a private house in Jingguo!

Zhou Hongqing couldn't hold his breath when he heard it: "This son, everything is easy to say!" This house is indeed not my Zhou family's, but I don't occupy it privately! ”

Wu Di almost laughed angrily, and stretched out his finger to point to the newly painted courtyard and small garden: "Not privately occupied? So why did our original house become like this? ”

"Well, that's a long story!"

Zhou Hongqing was not flustered, and said eloquently: "Your house has been uninhabited for many years, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and after a heavy rain, the east courtyard collapsed!" Later, when the old man repaired the yard, he simply repaired your house as well......"

"Hehe......"

Wu Di looked at Zhou Hongqing's shameless appearance, and was finally laughed at angrily.

"In this way, I want to thank Master Zhou for the next time?"

"Hehe, little things, little things! Nothing to speak of! ”

Zhou Hongqing still had a shy old face and said shamelessly.

"Master Zhou is very happy to hear this?"

"Oh?"

Zhou Hongqing didn't understand why Wu Di asked this question, with a black question mark face.

Looking at Zhou Hongqing's old face full of acting skills, Wu Di was angry.

This face, the five elements owe it!

I've got to teach him a lesson for anything today!

"You're too early to rejoice!"

Wu Di said with a sneer.
