Aunt Liu was still thinking about finding a backer, so she heard the elder of the five clans speak again, "It's better to rely on no one than on our own people." ”

Aunt Liu nodded, yes, the backers can run, or rely on themselves, is he saying that he wants Fan'er to take the imperial examination, it's not impossible, or with Fan'er's talent, I'm afraid that I have to study hard for several years, this restaurant is complicated, and no one can take care of it!

"Fan'er's qualifications are mediocre, he has a set of business, and the imperial examination is not satisfactory."

Aunt Liu knew in her heart that what she said was true, but she was also a little unhappy, her son was good, and no one could say bad.

"Fan'er can't do it, but our Zhou family is also a big family, I thought, or we can cultivate two talented children with the strength of the whole clan, and when they come out in the future, we will not be rootless merchants."

Having said this, Aunt Liu had an epiphany, spared such a big circle, it turned out to be waiting here, it still costs money, what is the power of the whole family, I am afraid that in the end, it will be my family!

She was so angry in her heart that she couldn't stop cursing, but there was a sudden expression on her face, and then she asked, "I don't know which qualified child the fifth uncle said?" ”

When the elders of the five clans saw her ask, they were overjoyed and hurriedly said: "One is the weekend of your fourth uncle's house, and the other is my little grandson Zhou Gui, the two of them are now studying with the master, and the master often praises them for their talent and intelligence. ”

After listening to this, Aunt Liu laughed angrily, she knew that it would be these two people, what kind of talent and intelligence, clever and clever, don't say this to her, these two people are notoriously stupid and naughty, when she doesn't know? Besides, that weekend, now it is twenty-five or sixteen, still idle, fighting cocks and lackeys all day long, no one is right, relying on him to take the imperial examination, bless the Zhou family, it is better to build two more ancestral halls, ask for ancestors!

She was really angry, and the obedience on her face was also put away, and she said in a lukewarm tone: "The fifth uncle said that he was laughing, I don't dare to say anything else, but it's already twenty-five or six on the weekend, and when he is admitted to the fame, I'm afraid that my restaurant will have been eaten up!" ”

When the elders of the four clans heard her words, they were not happy, but he was his eldest grandson on the weekend, and he was the most favored by him, in his eyes, it was good anywhere, how could he allow a concubine of the Liu family to talk nonsense at will.

He had a bad temper and a paralyzed face, and before he came, several other clan elders told him not to talk too much, so as not to spoil the plan, but now where did he take care of so much, and said directly: "Liu, you woman is so rude, we will promote you, so that you can take charge of the Zhou family, discuss everything with you, if you don't know how to lift again, you don't have to stay in the Zhou family this time, pack up your things and get out!" ”

Aunt Liu was stunned by his sudden face-turning, and then remembered her identity, the handkerchief in her hand tightened, and the anger in her heart was like a popped balloon, and she was completely drained at once.

Seeing that the elders of the four clans had suppressed her, they were very proud in their hearts, and asked him to say that if he wanted silver, he had to ask her so directly, what a bend, a concubine, it would be difficult for him to dare to go against them!

"You don't have to say much, the matter of studying with Zhou Gui on the weekend is so decided, the whole clan will give money, and in the future, they will gain power, and our whole clan will benefit. As for the money, other families are not rich, each family will give one or two pieces of silver, you have a restaurant, a big house, and a lot of inputs, you will pay a thousand taels, so it's decided! ”

When Aunt Liu heard a thousand taels, she didn't come up in one breath, she almost turned her back on her anger, and cursed in her heart, the old immortal, didn't you calculate the income of the restaurant? Now they still need a thousand taels, is it really that they are opening silver mines?

The elders of the four clans didn't care about her so much, and when she finished speaking, she sat down and drank tea again, smacking her lips, this tea is really good!

The other clan elders saw that the four clan elders had already attacked, so they no longer pretended, and each picked up a teacup and waited for Aunt Liu to take the silver ticket.

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth for a long time, plucked up her courage and said: "What the uncles said is reasonable, we should train our own people and let them take the imperial examination, but I can't take out that much of this silver now, otherwise, my family will pay fifty taels?" ”

She was ready to bargain, someone else's one tael, she gave fifty taels, it was already fifty times.

As soon as the elders of the four clans heard this, she turned one thousand taels into fifty taels when she opened her mouth, put the teacup in her hand on the table with a "bang", and said sharply: "Okay, you Liu, fifty taels, you are calling Huazi, Zhou Guina is your nephew on the weekend, who are you insulting with fifty taels of silver?" ”

Aunt Liu was so angry that she sat in the chair and kept shaking.

The little maid at the door held the tray and looked inside through the crack in the door, and she only felt very happy in her heart, she deserved it, and she would have a good life if she hurt her wife?

Aunt Liu complained again, the clan elders knew in their hearts the Zhou family's current property, and knew that one thousand taels was indeed not a small amount, so both sides took a step back, and Aunt Liu gave five hundred taels first, and then the restaurant turned over, and then made up the other five hundred taels.

When they left with the silver tickets in their hearts, Aunt Liu waved her sleeves and brushed the teacup on the table to the ground, her ribs hurt more and more, and the things in her throat made her uncomfortable to death.

In the evening, Zhou Fan, who had been busy all day, returned home, and Aunt Liu hurriedly called him into the house to prepare him and talk about what happened in the afternoon.

Before she could speak, Zhou Fan said anxiously: "Mother, it's not good, I saw Zhou Jian today!" ”

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I'll see you when I see him, he's not dead yet?" But came to the restaurant to beg for food? I said Fan'er, how can I say that he used to be the eldest young master of the Zhou family, since he came to the door, why not give him a bowl of rice! ”

Zhou Fan shook his head and said: "No, no, mother, he didn't come to the restaurant, I saw him when I was passing by, not only is he not dead now, but he also has a miracle doctor, and the miracle doctor also gave him silver and asked him to open a restaurant, next to our Ziyun Building!" ”

"What?" Aunt Liu slapped the table, "You said he was going to open a restaurant?" ”

Zhou Fan said: "Yes, I heard that I have bought the restaurant and started to decorate it, and the miracle doctor was generous and handed over the restaurant to him!" ”

Aunt Liu asked again: "Divine doctor? What miracle doctor? ”

She has been forced by the clan elders recently, asking for money today and things tomorrow, and she hasn't noticed that there is a miracle doctor outside.

Zhou Fandao: "It's a young doctor, I heard that the medical skills are very exquisite, and now the Luoxiang Mansion has spread all over the house, and even the prefect and the general judge have been diagnosed and treated." ”

Aunt Liu didn't care about anything else, but she heard that this doctor had treated the prefect's family, and now she asked Zhou Jian to open a restaurant, she thought she understood why the prefect ignored them.

"It's just a doctor, who calls himself a miracle doctor after curing one or two patients, what are you panicking about, our Ziyun Building is the largest restaurant in Luoxiang Mansion, why should you be afraid of a restaurant opened by a doctor!"

Zhou Fan saw that his mother didn't take Wei Zhao in her eyes at all, and he didn't know how to tell her, so he simply stopped squeaking.

Doctor Wei is now in Luoxiang Mansion, that is a real man of the hour, the benefactor of the prefect, he opened a restaurant, this is the biggest opponent of Ziyun Building, not to mention Zhou Jian, he chose the restaurant near Ziyun Building, but I am afraid that there is no good intention!

He was still worried about how to solve this matter, so he heard Aunt Liu start to complain to him, saying that the clan elders came to fight the autumn breeze again, and this time they also took away thousands of taels of silver at one time, etc., and he didn't come up in one breath, and he rolled his eyes and was dizzy.
