Chapter 1 A large amount of foreign debt
When Zhao Rui pushed open the iron door on the right side of the cargo box, he was stunned.
He saw a strange sight.
In front of me is a courtyard, the ground paved with green bricks, not very smooth, but very clean.
There was a pond in the middle of the yard where fish were presumably raised, and from time to time there was a sound of fluttering from the pool.
In front of the pool, there is a moon-shaped arch, and the two wooden doors are closed, so you can't see the scene on the other side of the door, but the shape of the house, the owner of the moon-round arch, makes Zhao Rui puzzled.
The white wall stone tile, the shape is a bit similar to the ancient buildings in the ancient north, the eaves are carved, but the shape of the roof is a bit like the Hui architecture......
It doesn't matter, though.
Importantly......
"Am I not under the elevated highway?"
"Where is this?"
Zhao Rui subconsciously glanced behind him.
That's right, it's still that familiar place, the mottled iron sheet, the rusty bottom of the box, a carpet that I picked up from a garbage can in a neighborhood a few days ago, and a wooden-framed mirror that I threw aside and picked up yesterday, which can prove that I am still in the dilapidated container used to sleep.
But......
Shouldn't the cargo box be under the viaduct? Why did you suddenly run to someone else's yard? Could it be that while I was sleeping, someone pulled the crate here?
But what fool would put a worn-out crate in his yard?
Besides, how did you get such a big container?
Crane crane?
Is it enough money to hire a car?
Just as Zhao Rui was thinking wildly, hurried footsteps came from the Moon Arch.
The wooden door was pushed open.
An old man dressed as a housekeeper in a black robe trotted over all the way and shouted urgently, "Young master, it's not good!" It's a big deal! Steward Li is here again! ”
Seeing his outfit, Zhao Rui was stunned again.
Robe?
What about filming?
But what about the camera? Why don't you see the camera? Is it aerial photography now?
Zhao Rui subconsciously walked out of the cargo box and looked at the sky, a rising sun in the east shone on the earth, and the sky was cloudless, well, today is a rare good weather.
But
What about drones?
"Young Master! What do you see? ”
Seeing that Zhao Rui was fascinated, the old man in the robe also looked at the sky, but he didn't see anything, and then thought of the reason why he came, and said hurriedly: "Young master, go over and take a look, Steward Li said, if you don't give an answer today, he will be welcome!" ”
Only then did Zhao Rui react, this old man was talking to himself, but why did he call himself young master? Am I also filming? Or play an ancient son-in-law?
But the clothes on my body are half-sleeved, which doesn't meet the rules in the play, right......
He subconsciously looked at himself, but suddenly his hair was raised!
"! When did I change my clothes? ”
I saw that the clothes on his body turned into a white robe at some point, and the style should be a deep coat from the Song Dynasty, with black edges on a white background.
"Who changed it for me, I don't know...... Wrong! When I woke up, I was wearing half sleeves, and I hadn't changed my clothes at all! Can ......"
He turned his head abruptly and looked at the cargo box behind him, but his pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold sweat broke out on the collar!
The crate is gone!
Behind him was a blue brick and stone house!
The wooden door on the right side of the house is open, and you can see through the open wooden door that it should be a hall house, and there is a long offering table inside, and there is a spirit card on the table, and the spirit card is written with several black Song characters of "the position of the ancestors of the Zhao family".
There is no doubt that this is the ancestral hall of the ancient big family, the place used to pay tribute to the ancestors!
"What's the situation?"
Zhao Rui looked like a ghost, his face was pale, and a layer of fine cold sweat instantly appeared on his head.
"Young Master! What happened to you? Isn't there something uncomfortable......"
The old man in the robe thought that he had some kind of illness, so he hurriedly touched Zhao Rui's forehead with his hand, it was lukewarm, it didn't look like he was sick, but looking at his face, it really seemed that something was wrong.
"Young master, what's wrong with you, can't you scare me, the master is just your son, if something goes wrong with you, the old slave can't explain to the master of the spring......"
The old man in the robe was frightened and was about to cry.
Zhao Rui tried his best to calm himself down, waved his hand and said: "Don't make noise, I'm fine, it's just that I'm suddenly a little uncomfortable, just take a rest, isn't Steward Li waiting for me, you go around first, I'll go over in a while." ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the pool.
The old man in the robe said worriedly: "Young Master, are you really okay?" ”
"Are you hoping that something will happen to me?"
"No, no, no, no, of course I hope the young master is well, but your face is ......"
"I said I'm fine!"
"Yes yes yes ......"
The old man in the robe hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard, and Zhou Xuan Li went to manage it, leaving Zhao Rui alone, sitting on the edge of the pool, his brows almost wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
Don't......
My soul crossed?
But it was still in the cargo box just now, why did it suddenly cross over? Isn't that weird......
Studied but cannot comprehend.
It's been a long time.
"Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, anyway, I was just a homeless man, and even survival was a problem, and it was a good thing to suddenly become an ancient son, at least I don't have to worry about starvation......"
"However, I'm new to the city and don't know anything, which is a big problem......"
"Why am I different from others? Others have memories of the original host, why don't I have any memories? Isn't that embarrassing......"
"Alas...... Let's take one step at a time......"
Zhao Rui sighed, stood up, and walked in the direction of the front yard.
"The person who was talking to me just now should be the housekeeper of this family, look at his expression...... I'm afraid it's not a good thing for that Steward Li to come over this time, but ...... The housekeeper came to me, not to find anyone else, it can be seen that this family is in charge of the young master himself, as for the elders......"
Looking at the white couplet pasted on the door frame and the white silk hanging under the eaves, Zhao Rui estimated that his father-in-law's parents might have passed away......
The courtyard is not small, it is a three-entry courtyard, from the decoration style of the house, this family should be a very good family, whether it is the window grille, or the eaves, the carving is very exquisite.
But after Zhao Rui looked at a few rooms, his brows furrowed.
The rooms in this courtyard were empty except for the most basic beds, tables, and chairs, and the tables were empty.
What surprised him even more was that in the huge courtyard, he didn't see a single maid servant.
What does this mean?
"his uncle, it turned out to be a broken household, the brocade clothes and jade food that Lao Tzu just thought, and the life of fresh clothes and angry horses can't be realized? Oh! Oh! This crossing is a bit of a pitfall......"
Zhao Rui sighed deeply and was speechless.
However, he is also a homeless man who has been hit by modern society, although the reality has given him a blow to the head, but his mentality has not collapsed, and he thinks to himself, how can he also come from the modern society in the 21st century, with unimaginable knowledge of the ancients, it should not be difficult to live a wonderful life here.
Thinking of this, he immediately relaxed again.
It's just that when he walked into the living room, he couldn't be happy anymore.
The atmosphere in the living room was oppressive.
On the guest seat sat a middle-aged fat man in his forties, wearing a dark green round-necked robe and a flat-style hat, quietly wiping tea, looking arrogant.
This person should be the Li steward in the mouth of his housekeeper.
Behind him, there stood two powerful sweaters, all dressed in short shirts, presumably thugs or something.
Look at the look, the one who comes is not good!
And the old housekeeper who had just sent a message to Zhao Rui was standing at the door of the living room with an anxious expression, looking out from time to time, and when he saw Zhao Rui coming, he immediately greeted him, "Young master, you are here!" ”
Zhao Rui hummed, walked into the living room, and after greeting Steward Li, he sat on the main seat.
Zhao Rui said: "Steward Li, why did you come here this time?" ”
Steward Li said indifferently: "Zhao Gongzi is really a noble person who forgets things, why did I come to the door, don't you have any points in your heart?" ”
Zhao Rui patted his head painfully, "My head has been uncomfortable for the past two days, and I ask Manager Li to speak clearly." ”
"That is the case, then the old man will remind Zhao Gongzi."
Steward Li thought he was pretending to be garlic, and snorted coldly: "When your father asked me for help and borrowed 3,000 taels of silver from the Li Mansion for a turnaround business, I didn't agree to it, but I couldn't bear your father to lobby me for three days and two times, so I had to agree, and it was not easy to borrow it from the Li Mansion."
This money should have been paid off last year, but because something happened to your father, I fought with my master for one more year, so that you could pay off the arrears within two years, but until now, you are still a thousand taels short of the Li Mansion, Zhao Gongzi, you are too unauthentic to do this, right......?"
Zhao Rui suddenly groaned in his heart, and said that I haven't started a new life when I first arrived, so why do I owe money? Don't you want to be so tricky......
What's more, one thousand taels, this is not a small amount.
Based on the current situation at home, it's really hard to say whether it can be repaid......
Zhao Rui only felt a toothache.
But things always have to be solved, he thought about it for a while, and said: "Debt repayment, it is a matter of course, Li Guanshi, don't worry, as long as I can pay it back, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, I will pay you back, and I promise not to let you suffer......"
"Zhao Gongzi, we can't just say good words, but we can't implement them, you said the same thing last time I came over, but what about the result?"
Steward Li sneered: "Zhao Gongzi, this time I came over not to engage in those vain things with you, my master said, this matter must be solved today, otherwise I don't have to go back, so you must give me an explanation today!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his cuff and put it on the table beside Zhao Rui, "I have already understood, now, the only asset that your Zhao family can sell is the hundred acres of paddy fields at the foot of Nanshan."
According to today's market price, the high-grade paddy field is 20 taels of silver per mu, the medium paddy field is 10 taels of silver per mu, and the low-grade paddy field is 5 taels and 1 mu. If Zhao Gongzi has no opinion, let's sign this sale contract......"
