Chapter 22: The Tian Family's Invitation

Bai Xue, a fan of small wealth, counted the money she earned over and over again, she always felt like she was dreaming, she was still displaced last month, worrying about filling her stomach every day, but today she became the shopkeeper of Jiushoutang, Bai Xue counted the silver again and again to check the account book, for fear that she would miss a penny and live up to Zhang Jiushou's expectations for her.

Zhang Jiushou was anxious to watch from the sidelines, the two girls always had delicate beads of sweat on their foreheads, and he was good, drinking tea leisurely on the side, and no one said that he was hungry, someone would prepare food for him immediately, and someone would bring tea immediately when he was thirsty, not to mention how happy he was.

"Xiaobai, our business is getting bigger now, it would be nice to invite a few people."

Bai Xue immediately retorted and said, "No, young master, I don't worry about other people, other people are clumsy, if they smash our Jiushoutang's signboard, it won't be good!" Now some people are of unknown origin, what if they encounter a spy sent by Second Master Tang, our two sisters are not too busy, it is because the young master dislikes our two sisters for being clumsy. ”

Bai Lan also echoed, tears squeezed into her eyes and said, "Yes, young master!" It's not like we're too busy with my sisters. ”

Zhang Jiushou suddenly choked, thinking that I just pity you for being too tired, and I don't want to drive you away, and said: "I just see your hard work, if you don't like it, then don't invite you!" ”

Zhang Jiushou pondered his future plans, while lamenting that the damn feudal society was constantly corroding his body, and at first Zhang Jiushou could still support himself and do it himself, now every morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Bai Xue pushed open the door, and served him to wash his face, and waited for him to get dressed, even the cold clothes were grilled with charcoal, and they were warm on his body.

Zhang Jiushou was a little embarrassed at first, after all, he was also a hot-blooded young man, and he would have some indescribable dreams from time to time, but every time he saw Bai Xue's strange scarred face, he lost interest, but fortunately, Bai Xue was also used to Zhang Jiushou's strange behavior.

What makes Zhang Jiushou feel even more incredible is that as long as he yawns, no matter how busy Bai Lan is, he will put down the work in his hand, and he is very skilled in warming the nest, and then waiting for him to sleep.

At noon, the carriage of the Tian family stopped, and out of below was Tian Cai'er's personal maid Feng'er, Feng'er saw the ugly Bai Xue at first sight, turned her head with disdain, and thought to herself How could there be such an ugly and ugly monster in this world, and asked Bai Lan on the side: "I was sent by the Tian family, what about your young master, quickly call her out to see me." ”

In fact, Feng'er saw Zhang Jiushou lying on the rocking chair behind the fire, the reason why she said this was nothing more than to deliberately humiliate Zhang Jiushou, in her opinion, no matter what outsiders said, she always believed that Zhang Jiushou was the big fool who used to come out of Huangsha Village.

Hearing that it was someone from the Tian family, Bai Xue stopped Bai Lan, who was preparing to quarrel on the side, and said, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is the matter with your Tian family's people looking for the young master?" ”

Feng'er said arrogantly: "You are not worthy of knowing. ”

Bai Xue endured her anger and said: "Some people are also subordinates, and they think that they will become phoenixes when they enter the golden nest, but they don't know that they are not sparrows, and this sparrow is always a sparrow." I also asked my young master to come out to see you, I really think I have a lot of face! ”

In the face of Bai Xue's ridicule, Feng'er couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so she had to say angrily: "I'm too lazy to bother with you, I'll go to your young master!" ”

Passing through the hall, Feng'er saw Zhang Jiushou, looked at the layout of Jiushoutang, there were no guests inside, but she saw a dozen taels of silver on the table, and thought of the people in the house saying that Jiushoutang now monopolized the papermaking business in the entire county.

"Zhang Gongzi, our Tian family invited Zhang Gongzi to come over as a guest!"

Zhang Jiushou said: "Guest? When. ”

Feng'er said: "It's set for tomorrow night!" Tomorrow night is Madame's birthday, and many young talents and sisters have been invited to the banquet. ”

Zhang Jiushou smiled slightly, he saw the mocking charm in Feng'er's eyes, but Feng'er didn't recognize the young man in front of him, it was the robber who scolded her for breaking her shoes in the mountain temple that day, Feng'er has been thinking about the things in the mountain temple since she went home that day, Zhang Jiushou not only despised her that day, but also humiliated her, so that Feng'er, who was graceful and graceful, and had some charm, was very frustrated, she swore that next time she saw that person, she must use the means of Ah Huajiao to seduce the other party, and come back in humiliation after succeeding.

However, what Ah Hua taught Feng'er was just some tricks for a dusty woman, and for Feng'er, who had not yet done anything, she felt a little ashamed.

Zhang Jiushou smiled contemptuously and said, "You just said that the Tian family invited a lot of young talents?" ”

Feng'er was a little impatient, and said: "Liang Kai, the son of Liang County Order, as well as Liang Zhikai, Liang Gongzi's cousin, as well as the son of the Li family and the son of the Zhou family, they are all famous people along the county, and Steward Tian has recently broken his leg." ”

Zhang Jiushou laughed at himself: "It turned out that I chose a son-in-law for the girl of the Tian family, and I am also a famous talent, so I have to come to the door in person to be courteous." ”

Zhang Jiushou waved his hand to send off the guest, and did not tip Feng'er, even if Feng'er said that his mouth was dry, he did not hand her a cup of tea, and the angry Feng'er turned her head and left, saying:

"Hmph, if it weren't for the agreement between the Tian family and your Zhang family, he wouldn't have let me run, I really thought I was presentable, the Tian family was very busy, and they wouldn't come to greet you."

Bai Lan swept Feng'er's ashes with a broom, and said, "You Tian family girls are not worthy of my young master!" Dog's eyes look at people low! ”

Bai Xue was worried on the side, and said, "Young Master, do you still want to go to Tian's house to attend the meeting?" Xue'er heard that this time, in addition to the people invited by the Tian family, there were more than a dozen young masters who also followed, and I heard from the people inside the Tian family that the head of the Tian family has always opposed the marriage between the young master and her daughter, and I heard that because of the rules set by the ancestors, the head of the Tian family has not taken the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract over the years, Bai Xue is worried that this time they must be taking advantage of the crowd to rise up, and they will definitely force the young master to take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract. ”

Zhang Jiushou said: "Why don't you go." Do you think that the two people who were going to assassinate the young master and me a few days ago came out of nowhere for no reason? ”

Bai Xue understood at one point and said, "Young master, you mean, they are people sent by the Tian family?" ”

Zhang Jiushou didn't answer directly, and said: "At least it has nothing to do with them!" By the way, a few days ago, how did you prepare the yellow paper? ”
