"Why are you here?" Li Zhang also asked in surprise when he saw the other party, because the person who came out of the door turned out to be Han Qi, but there was another person behind Han Qi, who was about the same age as him, white and chubby, wearing a shirt but full of philistine, no matter how he looked like a scholar.

"This is Brother Xu's home, I came here to borrow books from him, what are you doing here?" Han Qi said and pointed to the white fat man next to him, and then raised the book in his hand before asking Li Zhang.

"I ...... I'm here to talk about something. Li Zhang didn't know how to explain, so he said vaguely, but he didn't expect to meet Han Qi again here, it seems that the two of them are really fateful.

"Brother Han, is this your friend?" At this moment, the fat brother Xu also stepped forward curiously to look at Li Zhang and asked.

"Yes, this is my friend Li Zhang! Li Zhang, this is my friend Xu Wen, he is the owner of this house! Only then did Han Qi remember to help Li Zhang and Xu Wen introduce each other.

"It turned out to be Brother Li, I don't know where Brother Li went to school?" Xu Wen heard that Li Zhang was Han Qi's friend, although he was dressed ordinarily, but he knew that Han Qi was a famous prodigy, and those who could be called his friends must have something extraordinary, so he also asked very enthusiastically at this time.

"I'm ashamed to be poor and abandon school in my next family, and now I make a living by doing a small business!" Li Zhang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, he didn't think that readers were superior, not to mention that even if he really talked about reading, he was no worse than the readers of the Great Song Dynasty, but the content of the books everyone read was different.

Hearing that Li Zhang was not a scholar, Xu Wen's face couldn't help but change, and then he glanced at Han Qi suspiciously, as if he couldn't understand why Han Qi knew someone like Li Zhang? However, Han Qi acted as if he hadn't seen Xu Wen, and didn't seem interested in explaining.

"Since Brother Xu is the owner of this family, I don't know if I can take a step to speak, I have something I want to discuss with your mansion!" Li Zhang coughed dryly at this time and said again, just now he was worried that he would not be able to see the owner of this house, but now he happened to meet him, and there was also Han Qi, the introducer, which also made him a lot less troublesome.

"This ......" I saw Xu Wen hesitate for a moment, and then smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made an appointment with Brother Han to go to a poetry meeting, I really don't have time, it's better to do this, I'll let the housekeeper talk to you, after all, I'm young, and I can't do things at home for the time being!" ”

"Then thank you Brother Xu!" Li Zhang also knew that this Brother Xu seemed to look down on him, but he didn't care, but thanked the other party.

After Xu Wen finished speaking, he asked someone to call the housekeeper, and then said goodbye and left, Han Qi seemed to want to say something to Li Zhang, but in the end he was pulled away by Xu Wen.

"Little Brother Li knows my young master?" As soon as Han Qi and Xu Wen left, they saw the housekeeper of the Xu family looking at Li Zhang and asked, this housekeeper Xu is also fat and fat, and he is a little similar to that Xu Wen, from this point it can be seen that the food of the Xu family should be good.

"It's not like I know each other, it's just that I have a two-sided relationship with Han Qi." Li Zhang said honestly at the moment that he just wanted to redeem Douzi's sister, so there was no need to have a relationship with the other party.

"I see, then I don't know if Brother Li has something to discuss when he comes to our house?" Steward Xu squinted his eyes and said again, in fact, he had heard Xu Wen say just now, this Li Zhang in front of him is not a scholar, and he also said that he only makes a living by doing some small business, and looking at the other party's dress, he should not be a rich and noble person, so he also despised Li Zhang a little at this time.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want to redeem a slave from your mansion!" Li Zhang finally explained his intention at this time.

"Slave?" Steward Xu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he originally thought that the other party was here to talk about business, after all, their Xu family is a rich family, and the business at home is very prosperous, and many people rush to the door every day to climb the relationship, even if the Xu family just leaks a little leftovers from their fingers, it is enough for them to eat.

"Yes, there is a slave named Xiuxiu in your mansion, I want to redeem her!" Li Zhang spoke again, but he didn't explain the relationship between Xiuxiu and himself, so as not to be pinched by the other party, he still has this common sense in the business field.

"Xiuxiu? Do we have a slave with that name in our house? I saw Steward Xu lean back, and then asked a steward next to him.

"Surely there is, I saw her in the morning!" didn't wait for the steward to answer, but the bean behind Li Zhang excitedly took the lead, which made Li Zhang glare at him and signal him not to talk nonsense, which made the bean retreat stupidly.

"There's one, it's a girl who does chores in the backyard!" I saw that the steward glanced at Douzi, and then replied to Steward Xu with a flattering face.

Steward Xu nodded after hearing this, then looked at Li Zhang and Douzi, and said again with a smile: "There is indeed such a slave in the family, but I want to ask, what is your relationship with her, why do you want to redeem her, after all, our Xu family is a good family, even if it is a slave in the family, it can't be sold casually." ”

"Friend!" Li Zhang said very casually, but what he didn't expect was that Douzi took a step forward excitedly again at this time, and just wanted to say something, but was glared back by Li Zhang again.

But these actions of Li Zhang and Douzi all fell in the eyes of Steward Xu, and the old fox immediately guessed something, and the smile on his face became brighter at the moment, and then deliberately pretended to think about it for a moment before he spoke again: "Our Xu family has always been generous to our subordinates, and the food we eat every day is better than that of ordinary people, and it is not impossible for you to redeem Xiuxiu, but is it ...... price?"

Steward Xu didn't finish his words in the end, but the meaning was already very obvious, if he wanted to redeem Xiuxiu, the price would definitely not be low. Li Zhang was actually prepared for this, especially after he saw this Steward Xu, he knew that the other party was an old fox, and the performance of Douzi just now leaked the bottom, the other party would definitely slaughter himself fiercely.

"Steward Xu, let's not talk darkly, you can make a price, as long as it is not particularly outrageous, it will definitely satisfy Steward Xu!" Li Zhang gritted his teeth at this time and said, since he was already passive, he could only stretch out his neck and let the other party cut it, as long as it was within his tolerance.

In addition, Li Zhang also knows that people like Steward Xu will not give up any opportunity to benefit themselves, for example, in this case, if he wants to redeem Xiuxiu, Steward Xu will definitely quote a high price, but there must be another price recorded in the Xu family's account book, and the difference in this price is naturally eaten by him.

"Hehe, the little brother is really refreshing, since this is the case, then I will also quote you a real price, one hundred times!" Steward Xu squinted his eyes and smiled again, and then quoted a price.

"What? How can there be such a high price? Without waiting for Li Zhang to speak, the beans next to him jumped out again and said, you can buy a yard in Tokyo City for a hundred times.

"Steward Xu, do you also call it the real price?" Li Zhang also said with a calm face at this time, "As far as I know, an official slave with both color and art is only seventy at most, and your price is much higher than that of an official slave!" ”

The so-called official slaves, in fact, refers to official prostitutes, the Song Dynasty had prostitutes who served officials, generally trained by the government, and the Ming Dynasty's Jiaofang Division, these official prostitutes are mainly used for officials to drink and entertain at ordinary times, not only beautiful, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other skills, some official prostitutes want to be good, someone must help them redeem themselves, and the price of official prostitutes is also the highest, but generally will not exceed 70 yuan, but now Xiuxiu is an ordinary slave maid, Xu Steward also dares to ask for a price of 100 yuan, which is almost the same as robbery.

"Hehe, the official slaves are all selected from the slaves who have not entered the official government, at most they spend some money when they are cultivated, but the slaves and maids of our Xu family are bought with real money, and they eat and drink well at home, and there is an example of money every month, the expenses of these years are combined, a slave and maid want you to Baiguan is already very cheap, if you don't want to, then you can go to the cattle and horse market to buy those cheap slaves and maids!" Steward Xu is the way of the old god at this time.

Douzi's performance just now was seen by Steward Xu, so he was sure of Li Zhang, of course, the most important thing is that he has been a little tight recently, and he is worried about where to get some money, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to send it to the door, which naturally made him not let go.

Looking at Steward Xu's shameless appearance, Li Zhang was also extremely annoyed, although the braised meat shop made some money, but it was only a few dozen times on the books, and this was only the money on the books, and it would be good to really be able to take out half of it, so he couldn't take out this hundred guan at all, unless he sold the braised meat shop.

"Steward Xu, we sincerely want to redeem Xiuxiu, but we really can't accept your price!" Li Zhang was patient again at the moment, and thanks to the experience he had in Africa in his previous life, he had met people like Steward Xu many times, so he was able to endure and not let himself break out.

"Hehe, seeing that the little brother is so sincere, then I will give you another discount, ninety times, and not a penny less!" Steward Xu once again had a fearless way, he had already seen through Li Zhang, and knew that Xiuxiu must be very important to them, so no matter what kind of high price he offered, the other party would accept it, after all, he had encountered this kind of thing before, and he knocked it every time.

Li Zhang was about to explode when he heard this, especially when he saw Steward Xu's hateful smiling face, he wanted to smash it with a punch, but he could only endure it if he asked for it, and finally gritted his teeth and continued: "This price is still too high, I need to go back and discuss!" ”

"Then you'd better hurry up, some girls in the family are too stupid, my lord wants to change a batch, if you are late, maybe Xiuxiu will be sold to traffickers, as for where they will be sold next time, then I don't know." Steward Xu smiled again at this time, some people said the most vicious words on their lips, but they still had a smiling expression on their faces, they were talking about people like Steward Xu.

"Three days, I'll definitely come back in three days!" Li Zhang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth at the moment, and after speaking, he turned around and left with unwilling beans, but although he said so, he didn't know if he could make up these ninety in three days?
