Chapter 17 People come and go for a reason

In the end, Cui Shi still couldn't see it as lively, and few people came and went to look at Shulin Zhai, after all, in the hearts of passers-by, this shop has been closed for a long time, of course, it won't attract attention, or it's simply illiterate, and it won't come in. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

No one paid attention, and no one came to the door, and a few people who came to write letters on behalf of them were also familiar with Cui Shi, so Shulinzhai is indescribable today, and no one cares about it at all.

However, Chen Zhi did not stay in the shop, and after sitting for a while, he went to Chen's mansion, where there were still some trivial things to do.

In addition, Cui Shi also inquired about Chen Zhi's origin before closing the stall, to be precise, it was not he who found out, but someone took the initiative to find him and asked him a few questions.

The two scoundrels Cui Shi who asked the question also recognized and knew that they were the subordinates of Chen Asan, a well-known scoundrel leader in this area.

Don't think the name Chen Asan is ridiculous, many people in this era are limited to their knowledge background and common sense of gods and ghosts, and they are keen to give their children such names, so Cui Shi does not think this name is ridiculous, but with a trace of fear, because the scoundrel leader is also somewhat influential.

After the others left, Cui Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back at Shulinzhai, the perception in his heart was completely different.

"Who am I, it turned out to be Chen Zhi's loser, his father Chen Mai was also a character at the beginning, and he started a lot of family business, but he was all defeated by this ridiculous young master, no wonder the rules of this store are so weird, and only such a ridiculous person can come up with it, I was actually worried that he would rob my livelihood, it was really unfounded."

He shook his head and smiled, no longer taking Shulinzhai's threat to heart.

"Recently, there have been rumors in the market that Chen Zhi's house has been burned, I heard that it is Chen Asan's hand, saying that he has not paid off his debts, it is estimated that there will be incidents to happen recently, and he will have to stay away from here from tomorrow, otherwise he will be affected by the pond fish."

Thinking about it, Cui Shi reluctantly glanced at the erection in front of Shulin Zhai, his eyes were full of desire, and he looked like he wanted to take it for himself.

"It's a pity, I was going to be close to the owner of this shop, to see if I could ask everyone to give me some guidance in calligraphy, but now I can't."

Although Chen Zhi said that this word came from his handwriting, Cui Shi didn't believe it at all, and now that he knows Chen Zhi's identity, he doesn't believe it even more.

"I guess this store won't be open for a few days."

With this conclusion, Cui Shi packed up and went back.

That night, Chen Zhi took Aunt Liu, Chen Xi, and Chen Man to Shulinzhai and officially moved in.

After two days of cleaning and tidying up, the store can already live in, Aunt Liu and others have suffered a lot of white eyes in Chen's Mansion in the past two days, Chen Zhi does not intend to delay, and after finishing the white business, he brought a few people over.

"This is the new home?" Chen Xi looked at the faΓ§ade of Shulinzhai, his expression was complicated, he was happy, but he also had worries, after all, no matter how you look at it, his own residence has been downgraded, which is not a good phenomenon.

Chen Man corrected him and said, "Third brother, the eldest brother told me, we are just living here temporarily, and we will move back soon, right, big brother?" She looked at Chen Zhi expectantly, but Aunt Liu was startled, and the latter hurriedly pulled Chen Man over, and then whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, our family has to be the eldest man, don't beak it." ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's my eldest brother who told me......" Chen Man complained in a low voice.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, don't blame the little sister, it was indeed I who promised her, let's just stay temporarily." ”

"Oh." Aunt Liu nodded hurriedly, looked at Chen Zhi carefully, and secretly said that this Da Lang is really different from before, he is much kinder, and his temper has improved, but she still doesn't dare to be presumptuous.

In ancient times, there was a big difference between the concubines, she was a concubine, the lord was still dead, her mother's family was even poorer, and her status was not guaranteed, so she was cautious in her words and deeds every day, walking on thin ice.

"Big brother," Chen Zhu, who came from behind, listened to Chen Zhi's words, and said with a little worry, "I went to our house just now, Chen Asan asked people to guard the side, I didn't dare to approach, I'm afraid I want to go back, it's not that simple, I heard that it was the uncle who warned him, saying that he was not allowed to come to Fengyang Street to provoke you, so Chen Asan didn't come here with great fanfare, but laid an ambush in our house." ”

"This person is very shrewd and can seize the loopholes in the uncle's words, no wonder he can be influential."

Chen Zhi nodded, not surprised, but laughed: "He guards the house and blocks people, according to the "Han Law", he has violated many articles in a row, the first is 'humble and respectful fighting, all are thieves', second, take things that are not for stealing, third, to gain wealth as a robber, thieves should be beheaded, thieves abandon the city, he is a little scoundrel, bullying the lonely old in the countryside, in front of me is majestic, and he is in a different place overnight, which is really sad." ”

After a series of charges were spoken, several people on the side of the direct statement were stunned.

Chen Zhu reminded: "Young Master, there are also people behind Chen Asan who really want to sue the official, I'm afraid it may not be useful, and it will also damage the family's evaluation." ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "If I really want to be a scoundrel, there is a way to punish him, it is not impossible, it is really boring, and these are easy to deal with, it seems to be complicated, the root cause is still gambling debts, and when the gambling debts are repaid, the main owner will not be held accountable, Chen Asan, an accomplice, can only retreat, there is no need to conflict head-on, after all, it is also a life, I hope he will do it himself." He remembered the scenes of many dead people in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In the Three Kingdoms, the people suffered too much loss, the population plummeted, and many hidden dangers were buried.

Several other people looked at each other, feeling that the scene was a little weird, ordinary people would have a headache when they encountered a scoundrel like Chen Asan, even if it was a family member, Chen Zhi was also annoyed not long ago, why did he spare his life now, which made people feel good about themselves?

Moreover, how can this human life be said to be wanted, the dead are not a joke, how can you listen to your eldest brother's tone, and you don't feel that the dead are terrifying at all?

Puzzled in his heart, Chen Zhu still reminded: "Big brother, how can I pay off my gambling debts?" He glanced at Shu Linzhai, "Do you really rely on writing letters on your behalf?" ”

"Writing a letter is only the first step," Chen Zhi didn't explain much, "Let's go and rest first, Aunt Liu, little sister, the store has limited rooms, so I can only grieve you to live in one." ”

How to allocate the three rooms, Chen Zhi has already discussed with the two brothers, he lives alone as the eldest son, which is also related to the current atmosphere, and he cannot be excused, besides, he also has secrets on his body, and he needs a certain amount of space to prevent leakage.

Chen Zhu and Chen Xi live in one room, the two of them are a concubine and a concubine, it stands to reason that they should not live together, but the room is limited, so it can only be so, as for the female dependents of the family, they live in the third room, and Chen Fu, as a domestic servant, simply made a bunk in the stairwell.

These are all trivial matters, and after settling down the people, they will go back to their rooms to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Chen Zhi and the other men went to the mansion first, and at noon Chen Zhi and Chen Xi came back first, and Chen Zhi helped in the mansion.

"Is there already a customer waiting in the store," Chen Xi looked forward to it before he returned to Shulinzhai, but when he saw the empty lobby, the excitement on his face immediately turned into disappointment.

Cui Shi, who was writing a letter to someone on the street corner, saw the two brothers coming back, shook his head with a smile, and stopped paying attention.

"Maybe it's still early, and someone will probably come later." Chen Xi quickly perked up.

Chen Zhi glanced at Chen Fu, who was sitting in the store, and the latter shook his head.

In the morning, someone came in, and ordinary people could see the good or bad words on the signboard, but as soon as they heard the price, they were dumbfounded, and then they were either ridiculed or sarcastic, or they shook their heads without saying a word and left directly.

"Excuse me, I heard that I also write letters here?" At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and then a man in coarse cloth clothes came in.

"Yes, yes." Chen Xi immediately greeted him happily, and just as he was about to say more, Chen Zhi had already handed over the list with the rules written on it.

"I can't read." The man made a fuss in shame, Chen Xi immediately consciously read it, and before he finished reading, the man had already waved his hand again and again.

"It's too expensive, it's too expensive to write." Then leave eagerly.

"Alas!" Chen Xi sighed and glanced at his own brother, "Big brother, are you changing the rules?" ”

Chen Zhi smiled and said nothing.

Next, a few people came in one after another, but they were also average.

This situation lasted until the evening, and Chen Xi's expression changed from expectation to frustration, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he ran to the door from time to time to look, he couldn't settle down on his youthful nature.

After a while, Chen Xi was obviously tired, walked in and shook his head: "At this time, it is estimated that it will not be able to open today." ”

This was expected by Chen Zhi, and he was about to comfort Chen Xi, but he was attracted by the sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Someone's coming?" Chen Xi also reacted, and when he looked at the sound, several familiar faces came into view.

"Brother Zhiqi, I heard that you opened a shop, why don't you tell me to wait, it's better to come over and cheer you on." The person at the head was richly dressed and strutted, "We're going back today, if it weren't for Fourth Brother Yun telling us, we would have missed it." ”

The man was followed by three people, all with smiling expressions.

The four of them came in, looking inside and out, and the leader said: "Seventh brother, your life is not going well, but I waited for me to come, just take care of it, and write letters on my behalf?" Hey! He couldn't hold back a laugh and said in a strange tone, "It's just right, I'm going to report to my family what I saw at my uncle's funeral when I go back, so why don't you let Seventh Brother help the brothers write a few letters, what do you think?" ”

"That's great."

"Good idea."

"That's exactly what it is."

The remaining three chimed in.

These four people called Chen Zhi's grandfather his aunt and grandfather, the son of the Wang family in Wuyuan County, and came to mourn on behalf of the family, and the person named Wang Xi was the leader, who had a very good relationship with Chen Yun these days, and naturally looked down on Chen Zhi.

They asked Chen Zhi to write letters to several people, and anyone could hear the smell of ridicule and insults, Chen Xi was not very old, but he was not angry, so he was about to come forward to argue, but Chen Zhi pulled his sleeve.

"There are still a few younger brothers who have a heart," Chen Zhi smiled, his eyes were bent into crescents, and he didn't seem to hear the mockery in his words, "It's just that the book is narrow, and if you want to write a letter, please take fifty yuan for each of you first." ”
