Wan Ting followed Chen Mingyang into the money village, "Old man, pour a glass of water for Miss Ben." ”

Chen Mingyang was already about to pick up the curtain and go in, but turned around and came to Wan Ting's side, "Miss Zhou, if you have to beat me with a stick, you can think about it, and then I will hand the situation to the prefect's yamen, do we prefects really care?" ”

"I didn't hit you again, I'll sit down, you quickly ask your buddy to pour me a cup of tea!"

"No tea."

"Don't forget, I have deposited one hundred and fifty taels of silver with you, how can I also be your customer, why do you treat customers like this?"

Chen Mingyang looked at Wan Ting, who was already sitting on the chair, and was really helpless, "Cheng Chengcheng, eldest lady, sit down, come, serve tea to eldest lady." After the guy served tea, Chen Mingyang asked again, "How is it?" How is it better than the tea of your prefect's yamen? ”

"Huh, isn't that good?"

"You can see it, this is the best Biluochun, and we won't take it out when others come."

"Come on! That's it? That is, what was left over from last year, and now the tea before Ming is on the market, why, Boss Chen is so stingy? ”

"Yo, I can actually taste it as old tea. Yes, Miss Zhou, I'll ask the guy to change it for you. ”

"Forget it, forget it, for the sake of you saving Miss Ben today, Miss Ben won't bother with you." Wan Ting saw the "Golden Abacus" on the counter in a blink of an eye, and thought it was very interesting, so she stood up and came over to touch it, "Hey, don't move!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"This is left by the ancestors, it is the god of wealth of our store, and I refuse to touch it.

"Cut" Wan Ting glanced at Chen Mingyang, pretended to take two steps forward and turned around quickly, and picked up the "Golden Abacus", "Hehe! Then he turned and ran out.

The guys in the store were shocked, this "golden abacus" has been here since the store was opened, it has been a hundred years, and it has never been moved. Chen Mingyang didn't expect Huanting to grab the "Golden Abacus", and he chased after it.

"Oops!" As soon as Wan Ting ran out of the bank, she fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Bring you!" Chen Mingyang came up and grabbed it, how could Wan Ting let go, the two of them fell apart as soon as they grabbed the "Golden Abacus", and the abacus beads rolled to the ground.

The guys also came out, and when they saw that the "God of Wealth" in the town store was robbed, they hurried to pick up the abacus beads.

"You, what are you doing!" Chen Mingyang was also anxious.

"I, I've got a broken foot." Wan Ting was so painful that she almost cried.

Chen Mingyang and his men picked up the abacus, took the rotten abacus, and pointed at Wan Ting's nose, "You! Chen Mingyang's hands trembled with anger, "Don't think that if you are a woman, I won't dare to beat you!" ”

"You dare? Hurry up and help Miss Ben up! ”

"You, you just don't know what to say! Hobo! ”

"Young owner."

"You go, return all the money of this Miss Zhou to her! We will never be your Zhou...... What's your name? ”

Huanting got up from the ground by herself, "Miss Ben doesn't change her name or change her surname, Zhou Huanting is also!" What do you want? ”

"Okay, Zhou Huanting, we Chen Ji will never do your business! Uncle He, you go and take out her money and return it to her! ”

"Young owner!" Shopkeeper Xu walked over, "The young owner can't help it, we can't pick guests." ”

"Well, yes, I'm a guest. Besides, what's so good about your abacus! You also have to rob it, if you don't rob it, can it be bad! ”

"You! Okay, well, my head was really squeezed by the door. Zhou Huanting, you broke the God of Wealth in our store, what are you going to do? Chen Mingyang saw that everyone was gathered here to watch the excitement, which was really not conducive to Chen Ji's business, and he was already extremely restrained.

"What God of Wealth? Besides, you robbed this broken abacus at all! ”

"Okay, it looks like you're not going to solve it? Then we'll go where we can fix it! Shopkeeper Xu, call the lawyer of our ticket number, let's go to the prefect's yamen! I don't believe it, this broad daylight, the Zhou Governor can favor you! Walk! Chen Mingyang grabbed Wan Ting with one hand, and walked towards the prefect's yamen with an abacus in the other.

The two pulled and pulled to the prefect's yamen, and after the drums, Zhou Qisheng tried the case, only to see his sister being pulled by a man and limping in, and the people surrounded the door.

Zhou Qi suppressed his anger and slapped the wood in shock, "Who is in the hall?" ”

Chen Mingyang knelt in the hall and raised the paper above his head with both hands, "My lord, Xiaomin Chen Mingyang, take care of Chen Ji Qianzhuang, and now sue the people's daughter Zhou Huanting innocently smashed my store's 'golden abacus', the paper is here, please take a look." ”

Zhou Qi took the paper and quickly read it, the writing was smooth, reasonable and measured, and it was written by a special lawyer at first glance. Wan Ting stood in the hall, seeing that her brother's face was getting more and more ugly, she pouted and glared at Chen Mingyang who was kneeling on the ground, thinking: As for it!

"Zhou Huanting, Chen Mingyang sued you for breaking the 'Golden Abacus' of Chen Ji Qianzhuang's century-old town store for no reason, but is it true?"

"My lord! Xiaomin knelt in the public court to report to the adult, and the defendant Zhou Huanting was not a court wife, so she should kneel, could it be that Miss Zhou felt that she was the prefect's sister? ”

The people at the door of the court pointed and whispered, Wan Ting couldn't show the identity of the princess now, and seeing her brother looking at her, she obviously didn't plan to help her, so she had to kneel beside Chen Mingyang, glared at him, pursed her lips and said, "My lord, this broken abacus was broken by himself, and it's none of my business." ”

"Oh? Chen Mingyang? ”

"My lord, this abacus was originally placed in our cabinet for a hundred years, no one has ever touched it, today Zhou Huanting went to the counter and said that she was a customer to drink tea, Xiaomin was attentive to entertain, but she robbed our 'golden abacus' without warning and ran out, Xiaomin naturally chased, this is broken. But my lord, if Zhou Huanting hadn't taken the lead in picking up the abacus, how could it be bad! Please check it out! ”

"Zhou Huanting? Is what Chen Mingyang said true? ”

"It's true that I took it, but if he doesn't rob it, it won't be bad."

"Chen Mingyang, if you win the lawsuit, how do you need Zhou Huanting to compensate?"

"My lord, this abacus is handmade, please judge Zhou Huanting to make an identical one and return it to our store!"

Zhou Qi listened to it, and was shocked, "This government announced the verdict: Zhou Huanting, a native of the people's capital, robbed and damaged other people's property, and refused to admit guilt later, the circumstances are heinous, and Zhou Huanting is now sentenced to compensate Huizhou Huicheng Chen Ji Qian Zhuang for a handmade 'gold abacus', compensate Chen Ji Qian Zhuang for business losses, calculated at one-twelfth of last year's net business today, and bear all the costs of this lawsuit." Zhou Qi slapped the shocked wood again, "Retreat!" ”

"Mighty"

"Hey, brother, brother!" Huanting was in a hurry, and she stood up and was about to chase after the back hall, "Hey, Zhou Huanting, get the silver first!" Please do it within a month and leave it to us! ”

"Humph!" Wan Ting knew that no matter how much trouble she had, her brother would not stand on her side, let alone get any benefits, so she could only admit it. Wan Ting went back to the room and smashed things on the ground again.

Wu Yi and the guard stood in the corner, "Tut-tut, this is smashed like this every day, how much silver does this cost!" You know, just don't put anything in it yesterday. ”

The guards looked at each other, who would care about the silver at this time, and it was a serious matter not to set yourself on fire.

"Let's hurry up, if you see us in a while, you won't have to eat melons!"

"Yes, yes, go fast."

The guard door dispersed in a hurry, Wu Yi was still squatting in the corner of the wall and feeling sorry for the silver, and in a blink of an eye he saw that the light in the study was still on, the door was open, but there was no movement inside. I thought: Are these brothers and sisters not in harmony with each other? Then why did you bring your sister to work? Is there no one else at home, so you can only take it? Wu Yi thought so, and felt that they were even more pitiful than herself, after all, she still had a father, although he was not very reliable, he still thought about himself at a critical time, but now he didn't know where Li Laosi went, and Li Laosi, the prefect of this big government, was not blessed.

At this time, Li Laosi was listening to the gossip of the 'golden abacus' at Chen's house, it turned out that this 'golden abacus' was made by the old lady's grandfather, and the abacus beads were removed from the abacus used by his old man when he was the shopkeeper. Li Lao Sicai doesn't care what town store is not a town store, that layer of gold is more attractive. Li Laosi thought to himself: The abacus that is placed on the counter every day is real gold, although it is only a thin layer, but now that he is in the Chen family, it is very likely that the things he sees every day are some good things. Li Laosi made up his mind that from tomorrow, the bottles, cans, tables, chairs and chairs in the yard should be looked at one by one, and it is best to take a bite.

It was getting late, and Li Laosi sneaked into the garden to look east and west, so happy.

Zhou Qi never came out of the study, Wu Yi stood at the door of the study with food, leaned over and whispered, "Adult? Wu Yi saw Zhou Qi looking up at herself, and raised the food in her hand, "My lord, are you hungry, I brought it to you, Aunt Li made braised pork, but it is fragrant." ”

"Why don't you have a long memory?"

"So I didn't come in, my lord, I know you're angry with Miss, but people are iron and steel, and you still have to eat something."

Zhou Qi lowered his head and continued to read, "Eating and drinking are strictly prohibited in the study, didn't the chain tell you?" ”

Wu Yi couldn't remember so many strict prohibitions at all, and after thinking about it for a while, her brain went blank, "Hehe, adult, then you can come out and eat, really, it's fragrant." ”

Zhou Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Yi, seeing that she was grinning, holding the rice as if she was holding a big ingot, and her attitude finally eased down, "Has Miss eaten?" ”

"Miss, she doesn't let people into the house at all, my lord, if you worry about Miss, you can go and see her."

"She's just spoiled."

"My lord, can you come out? We're so far apart, it's tiring to talk, and I'm tired from carrying food all the time. ”

Zhou Qi suddenly felt a little hungry, so he came out and sat on the stone steps, stepping on one step to eat.

Wu Yi squatted next to him and watched, "Hey, my lord, I thought you were all upright, but I didn't expect to sit on the ground and eat." ”

"When I was a child, I always felt that the weather was hot, and it was most comfortable to sit on the ground to eat, but there were many rules at home, and every time I sat on the ground, I had to be scolded."

"Hey, just scold, and you won't lose a piece of meat."

Zhou Qi looked up at Wu Yi, it was so good that he had no heart and no lungs, but when he sat on the ground, someone would drop a piece of meat, just because he was the prince, but how could the girl in front of him understand, just thinking about it, Wu Yi suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Meteor!" Make a wish, make a wish! Wu Yi clasped her hands together and solemnly made a wish.

"Where did you go to school, and it can't hear you when you make a wish to it."

"Hehe, my lord, I met a foreigner before, he said that his house is in a far away place, anyway, they have a legend there, that people will become stars in the sky after death, so making a wish on the stars can really come true."

"You miss your dad, don't you?"

Zhou Qi said such a sentence coldly, Wu Yi turned his head to look at Zhou Qi, and also sat on the steps, "I don't want him!" ”

Zhou Qi held the rice bowl and looked at Wu Yi, his heart was sour, thinking that this little girl always laughs, and she will not tell others about the bitterness in her heart. "Your father and mother will bless you in heaven."

Wu Yi put his hands on his knees, rested his head on his arms, looked at Zhou Qi, and thought to himself that Li Laosi, that bastard, would not bless him, and his mother didn't know where it was, but he still smiled at Zhou Qi on his face and agreed, and remembered that Zhou Qi's brothers and sisters were likely to be orphans who depended on each other, but sympathized with Zhou Qilai, "My lord, someone will bless you." ”

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, and also smiled, the two looked at each other, and there was a meteor crossing the sky full of stars.
