Chapter 41: Driving Xiao Guangwei Away

Zeng Zuoze saw that Feng Zishan was so envious of his new clothes, so he stood up and said: "Seeing is believing, since Brother Feng likes this cloth, why don't you take advantage of the fact that this cloth is not sold out, and hurry up with me to buy a few feet of him in Dongjia Cloth Village, how about it?" After a pause, Zeng Zuoze said again: "I heard from the people of the Dong family cloth village that although this cloth is locally produced, the Dong family wants to sell the cloth to Gyeonggi, Shandong and even Jiangnan, and the share of the cloth to Tianjin is not much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBrother Feng wants to buy it, but it's going to be fast! ”

Although Feng Zishan is poor, he is the most face-conscious scholar, and he is willing to buy a few feet of cloth for decent new clothes. He really liked the delicacy of the Li family's fine cloth, so he stood up and said, "Brother Xian leads the way, I will buy him a few feet, and I will also do this with Brother Xian a decent new round neck." ”

"Haha, let's go!"

Li Zhi's fine cloth sells well everywhere, and of course Li Zhi knows. However, he has already made a lot of profits by owning the Jenny spinning machine and the flying shuttle loom, and he has the intention to make this refined cotton cloth form a reputation, so he is not in a hurry to increase the price.

On this day, Li Zhi went out with two family members and was about to walk to the textile factory, but saw Cui He walking briskly on the alley in the workshop with a maid, followed by Xiao Guangwei.

"Cui He, you wait for me!"

Cui He was very disgusted with Xiao Guangwei who was sticking to him, and turned around and said, "Xiao Guangwei! Don't chase me! ”

Xiao Guangwei finally walked in front of Cui He, and said with a smile: "Cui He, I'm not chasing you, I'm inviting you to go on a trip to see the peach blossoms in Mida Temple!" ”

"What peach blossoms? Don't go, don't go! ”

As soon as Li Zhi saw this situation, he knew that Xiao Guangwei was chasing Cui He again. Although the social atmosphere was open at the end of the Ming Dynasty, after all, there were differences between men and women, and young men and women would still keep their distance from each other. Like Xiao Guangwei, who pesters Cui He, it is still not good for Cui He's reputation to spread out.

Xiao Guangwei knew this, but he still adhered to Cui He, as if he wanted to cause the rumor that Cui He and him were good, and he had bad intentions.

Cui He scolded Xiao Guangwei a few times, turned around and walked towards the workshop again, but saw Li Zhi with two family members. Seeing Li Zhi, Cui He seemed to see a savior, and quickly ran in front of Li Zhi.

"Li Zhi, come and help me!"

Li Zhi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What can I help you with?" ”

Cui He said: "Help me get rid of this fly-like Xiao Guangwei!" ”

Li Zhi smiled, and then looked at Xiao Guangwei who was chasing after him.

Xiao Guangwei finally caught up, and when he saw Li Zhi standing in front of Cui He, he thought about it and frowned and said, "Li Zhi, I have something to say to Cui He, you go away quickly." ”

From childhood to adulthood, in Xiao Guangwei's eyes, Li Zhi will always be the poor nerd in the family, stupid and bullied. Although Li Zhi suddenly became clever recently and paid off the money owed to the Xiao family, and I heard that he had even set up a soap workshop, Li Zhi's image has not changed much in Xiao Guangwei's heart for a while.

So as soon as Xiao Guangwei saw Li Zhi, he angrily asked him to go away. Seeing that Li Zhi didn't listen to his words, Xiao Guangwei scolded again: "Don't think that you will raise your eyebrows after you return my family's money!" Just look at the tattered yard of your house, it is the difference between heaven and earth with my house and Cui He's house! Go away! ”

The Xiao family operates Nanyang pearls, and there are also a profit of several hundred taels of silver a year, and the family repairs a decent house, Xiao Guangwei looks down on the dilapidated and dilapidated mansion of the Li family. As for the profits of Li Zhi's soap workshop, Xiao Guangwei is not very clear, but the Li family's yard is so dilapidated, Xiao Guangwei subconsciously feels that the industry made by the stupid Li Zhi cannot be too big. As for Li Zhi's newly built textile factory, Xiao Guangwei, who was young and ignorant, didn't know anything at all.

Xiao Guangwei's mindset of looking down on Li Zhi formed over the past ten years is difficult to change all at once.

Glancing at the arrogant Xiao Guangwei, Li Zhi said lightly: "Xiao Guangwei, you are chasing a young girl on the road, which hinders discipline, do you know that you are wrong?" ”

Hearing that Li Zhi stood up for himself, Cui He happily slapped his toes and clapped his hands childishly.

"Li Zhi said it well!"

Xiao Guangwei was stunned when he heard Li Zhi's words, and then scolded: "Li Zhi, have you lost your mind?" Do you dare to teach me a lesson? You don't look at the gap between your family and mine. When I slap you, it's all for nothing, do you believe it? ”

Xiao Guangwei also regarded Li Zhi as the fool in the past, relying on the Xiao family's family background to bully him casually, and he was also very arrogant when he spoke.

After listening to Xiao Guangwei's words, Li Zhi blew angrily and scolded: "Xiao Guangwei, your dog's eyes light up and see the situation clearly. ”

With a wave of his hand, Li Zhi asked the two family members who followed him to walk up, one left and one right, and surrounded Xiao Guangwei in the middle.

The two family members were recruited by Li Zhi according to the standards of thugs, and they were half a head taller than Xiao Guangwei. Moreover, these family members have been training martial arts in the past few months, and their bodies are very sturdy, and they have their own momentum. The two of them stood beside Xiao Guangwei one left and one right, and immediately covered Xiao Guangwei in the encirclement.

"Xiao Guangwei, if you chase Cui He again, don't blame me Li Zhi for asking someone to beat you!"

Although Xiao Guangwei is arrogant in the wellside, he is a coward. Surrounded by Li Zhi's people, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back. He looked at Li Zhi's family members nervously, and said loudly: "Li Zhi, don't be arrogant, you dare to touch me, my father will find Father Chen of the Qing Military Hall to kill you!" ”

Li Zhi listened to him show off his relationship, and couldn't help but ask: "What Daddy Chen?" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, Xiao Guangwei said proudly and loudly: "Father Chen, the torture room officer of the Qing Army Hall! He's friends with my dad and drank with my dad last month. If you dare to hit me, Daddy Chen will not let you go. ”

Only then did Li Zhi understand that the biggest relationship of the Xiao family was the official of the Qing Military Hall in Tianjin.

Xu officials are the clerks in the Ming Dynasty government except for officials, similar to civil servants in later generations, but there is no need for examinations when hired. Officials in the Ming Dynasty were basically selected under the imperial examination system, while officials were directly selected from the people. The so-called officials of the criminal chamber of the Tianjin Qing Military Department are the leaders of the officials in charge of criminal affairs in the "Qing Military Department" in charge of civil affairs in Tianjin. In the event of a major criminal case, this Father Chen can make suggestions to the Tongzhi of the Qing Military Department. For some small cases, Tongzhi is too lazy to ask, and Daddy Chen can deal with it directly.

Speaking of which, Daddy Chen can be regarded as a powerful official. If Li Zhi had learned about the relationship between the Xiao family in the past, he would have avoided being a low-key person.

However, for the current Li Zhi, the Prison Officials Division is too small. Li Zhi is a person who has honored the governor for 2,000 taels of silver, and if something happens, he will go to the governor He Shishou, and spend some silver, and he can stop this Chen Daddy with his fingers casually, so how can he be afraid of Xiao Guangwei?
