Chapter Twenty-Five: I Am the Master Here
It's February in the blink of an eye, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Qin Xiao told Dongfang Wu that the matter of the shop had been implemented, just opposite Ankang Hall, the shop was about one hundred and eighty square meters, divided into two floors, the lower floor was nearly two hundred square meters, and the upper floor was more than ninety square meters.
Speaking of this, Qin Xiao looked excited, saying that he originally just wanted to rent it, but the owner of the shop said that he wanted to sell the shop and go to other big towns to do business, originally he wanted to sell it for five hundred taels, but because he was in a hurry to leave, he was willing to sell three hundred taels, and said that if he wanted to buy it sincerely, he would hand it over to him as soon as possible.
Dongfang Wu had some doubts in her heart, she remembered that the South Street where Ankang Hall was located, that street was not the most prosperous street in the city, but it was not deserted, the boss was really so anxious? Such a good shop only sells for 500 taels, and it happens to be in a hurry to leave, and the price drops again and again.
Will pie really fall from the sky?
It wasn't until Qin Xiao took Dongfang Wu to meet the boss, and seeing that the boss was honest and honest, Dongfang Wu was relieved, and immediately took out the silver, signed the shop transfer contract with the boss, and got the house deed. At this point, Dongfang Wu finally has his own shop, and the two of them are indescribably happy.
To be honest, Dongfang Wu also thinks this shop is very good, but she just opened a medical hall, and there are not so many things to put on, this floor is a little spacious, and the rooms in the backyard can be converted into wards, if there are serious patients, they can live temporarily.
The matter of the medical hall here has been implemented, and she will no longer go to the Yuelou over there, so she has already informed Rong Meiren in advance, and the last time she told the story, Dongfang Wu finished telling the story, and it can be regarded as worthy of the reward given by the visitors for half a month.
However, although he only said the book for a small half month, Dongfang Wu still earned more than 10,000 taels of silver on hand, looking at so much silver, Dongfang Wu was smiling in her dreams, in this small county, with this amount of silver, she could eat and drink here for the rest of her life. Usually practice medicine and grow vegetables, this day can be quite nourishing.
Whenever she saw Dongfang Wu smiling from ear to ear while counting the silver, Qin Xiao laughed at her dotingly: "The lady is really easy to satisfy!" ”
Shu Yi turned his face to the side and said indifferently: "Money is obsessed!" ”
Shu Yi is used to scolding Dongfang Wu, he is unforgiving, he still admires her a little in his heart, thinking that she is a weak woman, she can earn so much silver by her own ability, in this world, there are few women like her!
Dongfang Wu stood up with a "pout", pointed at Shu Yi and scolded, "If you don't like silver, that's Qinggao, and if you like silver, that's honest!" I said what's the matter with you, I'm busy feeding you master and servant all day long, you don't give a word of kindness, what are you proud of, go and work for me, be careful that I withhold your food! ”
"You ••••••" Shu Yi was angry.
Looking at Qin Xiao for help, Qin Xiao hurriedly turned his face and looked away, the meaning couldn't be more obvious - I eat soft rice, I admit it, don't look at me!
Shu was helpless, so he had to work obediently.
Dongfang Wu stuck in his waist and stood aside to command him, "Split the firewood, the ground should be turned over, it's a good time to grow vegetables!" ”
Shu Yi lifted up the cloth robe, tied it in his belt, and went down to the ground, unable to help but smile bitterly; General, general, you are so powerful and resolute, how can you be cowardly when you meet Dongfang Wu, Shu Yi is simply heartbroken!
sighed to himself again, thinking that he was a dignified general and deputy general, these hands don't know how many enemy heads he had beheaded, but now he is hoeing here with a hoe, is it a bit overkill!
Dongfang Wu's medical hall is not in a hurry to open, because February is going to be the New Year, she feels that it seems not good to open a medical hall at this time, so she simply prepares all the things that the medical hall needs to use, and as soon as the year is over, it will be opened.
The bamboo building of Dongfang Wu is built near the Tu River, it looks extremely elegant, and the bamboo building designed by Dongfang Wu is about to be completed, and Dongfang Wu is sincerely happy.
But on that day, Li Zheng led a group of people to find Dongfang Wu's thatched hut, led by a fat man with a shiny face.
At that time, Dongfang Wu, Qin Xiao, and Shu Yi were working in the courtyard, and Li Zheng was wiping the sweat on her forehead while calling her outside the courtyard.
"Lizheng, you look for me!" Dongfang Wu smiled kindly.
"Steward Shi, she is Dongfang Wu!"
explained to the fat man with a bad face, "This is Master Qian's housekeeper Shi Tainong, Master Qian is the landlord of this land, he somehow heard that you are building a bamboo building here, and he wants to drive you away!" Li Zheng approached Dongfang Wu and whispered, worried.
"Landlord?" Dongfang Wu frowned, this was her negligence, she thought that this barren land was an ownerless wasteland, but she didn't expect that there was an owner.
The oily Shi Tainong was followed by a group of domestic servants with sticks in their hands, about a dozen or so, menacing.
At the moment when she met Shi Tainong's gaze, she frowned, and on the oily face of Shi Tainong's face, a pair of small eyes stared at Dongfang Wu's face motionlessly, full of obscenity.
Dongfang Wu looked at his clothes up and down, dressed in men's clothes, how could this product show such a look! Is this a pervert?
The sausage-like mouth also left Hadazi, which made Dongfang Wu feel disgusted.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao had already stood up in front of Dongfang Wu, blocking Shi Tainong's obscene gaze.
"I'm the master here, what's the matter, tell me!" Qin Xiao's face was solemn, and his eyes were cold.
The line of sight was blocked, Shi Tainong looked Qin Xiao up and down again, seeing that Qin Xiao was slender and very handsome, and his eyes stayed on Shu Yi for a few points, this is not bad, but compared to this kid surnamed Dong, it is still a lot inferior, and his small eyes glanced at Dongfang Wu, and his eyes showed a greedy light.
After clearing his throat, Shi Tainong strode forward with his eyes high. He glanced at the courtyard of Dongfang Wu and the bamboo building being built not far away, and said, "Do you know that this land belongs to our family old man?" ”
"I don't know!" Qin Xiao looked indifferent.
Dongfang Wu and Shu Yi glanced at each other, and the three of them were indifferent.
"You dare to build a thatched hut and build a bamboo building on the land of our master, where will our lord's face go?" Shi Tainong snorted, looking arrogant.
Where else can I put my face? You can't put it on your ass!
The three of Dongfang Wu didn't reply to his words at all, only Li Zheng said good things on the side, "Steward Shi, you dissipate your anger, she is a person who has fallen here, her background is pitiful, this has finally become a family, I will persuade her to live elsewhere, please go back and talk to Master Qian about good things, don't worry about them!" ”
Li is a real person, Dongfang Wu saved his grandson Dou Ding, he always remembers it, on weekdays, Dongfang Wu is very happy to ask him for help, this time Dongfang Wu must be in trouble, he only does his best, try to say something good!
Li Zheng saw Dongfang Wu dressed in men's clothes, this Qian Mansion from the master to the domestic servant, they are all well-known for being lustful, and he naturally will not debunk her as a daughter.
Shi Tainong saw that the three of them ignored him, and didn't take him seriously at all, how could he bear it, and said to the family behind him: "Go, let the people over there stop!" ”
Behind him, several hideous-looking men were holding sticks in their hands, and more than a dozen people rushed to the building to repair a few people to give a good beating, Dongfang Wu's eyes had already narrowed, and his cold gaze swept over the murderers one by one.
"Stop!" With a loud shout, Dongfang Wu rose and fell, crossed the fence, and kicked one of the family members out of the way.
Qin Xiao followed behind Dongfang Wu and also went up to help, Shu Yi was stunned for a moment, and flew over, one set of actions, knocking all the remaining family members to the ground.
The people who came to see the excitement surrounded the small courtyard of Dongfang Wu with three layers inside and three layers outside. Shi Fatzi was very arrogant, and when he saw that the family was knocked to the ground, he had no fear at all, so he mentioned a servant who fell to the ground, and said: "What a bold man, he dares to beat people even if he dominates our master's land!" ”
Dongfang Wu stopped in front of those craftsmen, and anger rose in his cold tone, "Don't want to reverse right and wrong, let's say, what do you want to do?" ”
"What to do? If you damage our master's land and build a house without permission, you will naturally be asked to compensate our master for his losses and drive you away! ”
"Reparations? How to compensate! Dongfang Wu sneered, she looked like she was weak and easy to bully?
Shi Fatzi glanced at the clothes of Dongfang Wu and the three of them, and said arrogantly: "You have lived in the land of our master for more than half a year, and you are still growing vegetables on it, and cutting our master's bamboo privately, how can it cost thousands of taels of silver!" ”
The onlookers let out a cry of surprise and asked a little girl who lived in a thatched hut asked for more than a thousand taels of silver, was it too much?
"I can't give it, even if I plant crops here, it's not worth a thousand taels, and how can she have so much silver?" Widow Sun was indignant, and she couldn't see anyone bullying the little girl.
Aunt Zhou was worried when she watched from the side, Zhou Daming's face had already turned black into charcoal, she glanced at Qin Xiao who was standing behind Dongfang Wu, bit her lip but didn't stand out.
Mrs. Zhang screamed: "Aren't you obviously bullying people!" ”
Dongfang Wu turned a deaf ear to the words of others, and asked coldly: "Want silver?" I don't give, what should you do! ”
"Don't give it?" Shi Fatzi sneered, "It's okay if you don't give it, I see that your appearance is still so-so, it's better for our money to suffer some losses, you will sell your money as a slave, and let our money house drive it!" ”
"You want to drive me to wait, are you tired of your Qian Mansion?" Qin Xiao's cold eyes swept over Shi Fatzi, his eyes were cold as if he was looking at a dead person, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
As soon as Shi Fatzi's face changed, he was about to have a seizure.
But I saw Dongfang Wu greet him with a smile on his face: "Hey, I thought there was something, it's easy to say, don't you just want the three of us to give you money as slaves, okay!" ”
When Li Zheng heard this, he panicked, "No, no, no, you must not think about it, you must not go to this money mansion!" ”
Oh! Why is that?
Li Zheng approached Dongfang Wu and whispered: "Dongfang girl, you don't know, that old man Qian is nearly seventy years old, but he has never been able to give birth to a son, there are more than 30 aunts and wives in the house, and none of them gave birth to a boy and half a girl for him. ”
"If you let Master Qian see you, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the poison!"
Dongfang Wu frowned, "Is this true?" ”
"Nature is true!" Li Zheng was sweating profusely, so he hoped that Dongfang Wu would not be impulsive, say good things to Shi Fatzi, and beg him to let her go.
Shi Fatzi didn't hear this discussion, but said that Dongfang Wu confessed, he touched his chin proudly, looked at Dongfang Wu in a circle, and a pair of rat eyes were full of unbearable looks, "Well, not bad!" ”
Dongfang Wu sneered, frank, and even opened his arms in front of the fat man Shi and turned around, "Steward Shi, how is it?" ”
Qin Xiao and Shu Yi's brows were furrowed, they didn't know what Dongfang Wu's idea was, Qin Xiao whispered: "Lady, you don't have to be afraid of him, •••••• with my identity"
Dongfang Wu suddenly turned his head and glared at him, Qin Xiao immediately stopped, but she was unhappy in her heart, she hoped that he would stay, which meant that he would leave the past, but Qin Xiao could never forget his identity.
Shu Yi also didn't approve of Dongfang Wu's approach, and secretly thought, shouldn't she really be afraid of power and wealth, so she wanted to sell them!
"Well, it's a pity to be in this place with such a look, the lord will definitely love you when he sees you!" Shi Fatzi laughed disgustingly.
"You're looking for death!" Qin Xiao's deep eyes lit up with rage.
One elbow stabbed Qin Xiao in the abdomen, Dongfang Wu's face did not change, "The villain has no wealth and no power, this person who knows the times is a handsome man!" ”
Qin Xiao knew that she was not such a person who could be bullied at will, but this fat man was really disgusting. Glancing at Shu Yi and signaling him to stand still, Shu Yi showed a disgusted expression and pulled the corners of his mouth.
"So what are you waiting for, let's go now!" Dongfang Wu didn't want to delay any longer.
"Take it away!"
