Chapter 014: The Old Butler and Yu's Accounting Room

Bored waiting for Xie Qingyi to serve food, Xie Zuo felt a little depressed in the house, so he pushed the door and walked out.

Outside the door is a gallery, along the gallery are wings, belonging to the main house of the Xie Mansion, but it is said that there are no residents. The gallery is facing a small pond, it is a good time in spring, the pond is blooming in spring, and the branches are pulled into the water from the stone hanging on the shore of the pond, which is a gratifying and good scenery.

It's a pity that the mood of enjoying the scenery is broken by a noise from afar. Xie Zuo was a little annoyed, but after careful discussion, the noise seemed to come from the front yard, not like ordinary noise, but like someone was arguing.

Following the memory of last night, Xie Zuo walked to the front yard. According to Xie Qingyi, the Xie family compound is located on the edge of the mountain village, in a remote location, and few people usually come. Last night's bandits were already an anomaly, so why is there trouble today?

I didn't see anyone all the way, and I didn't see a lot of people until the front yard, or leaning against the crack in the door, or lying on the wall, looking out with their heads shrunk and their heads. At the same time, on the "display screen" on Xie Zuo's vision, the attributes of a group of servants were densely displayed.

The appearance of the properties panel was expected and not surprising. But after looking around, everyone was miserable, and there were very few single items above double digits, and I couldn't help but be disappointed. You can't teach a child! Only then did Xie Zuo understand how rare his scholar's attribute was, which made it even more obvious how wise his move was to grant him the attribute pill.

The noise came from outside the courtyard, Xie Zuo came to the courtyard gate leisurely, reached out and patted a guy on the shoulder who was lying on the crack of the door. This guy was born with thick eyebrows, and looked back with an angry face, but saw his young master's face that seemed to be smiling, and quickly changed it to a flattering smile, and very consciously pulled the sleeves of other people's clothes, and in an instant, there was a row of quails with low eyebrows in front of Xie Zuo.

Xie Zuo waved his hand casually to signal them to get out of the way, and he put his eyes on the crack in the door and looked out.

Outside the courtyard is a vacant lot, which is quite clean. In the middle of the clearing stood a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a horse face, a hooked nose, and a prominent black mole under his nose. Not far behind this person, there were five or six fierce men, who looked like a family member, but the color of their clothes was different from that of the Xie family's servants, and they should be the subordinates brought by Eagle Hook Nose. At this time, the hooknose was waving a few pieces of yellow paper in his hand, and roared loudly, looking at the emotional appearance, as if he wanted to gnaw his teeth on the head of the person in front of him!

"Cripple Xie, open your dog's eyes and see clearly, it is clearly written in black and white, and your young master has signed and drawn a pledge, even if it is sued to the Hexi County Ya, what else is there to say?"

In front of the middle-aged man with a hooked nose stood an old man, with his waist bent, looking not young, nearly fifty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes and eyebrows were drooping downward, and he was able to escape the word "embarrassment" with a capital letter. At this time, even the wrinkles on the old man's face were full of unsolvable sorrow, as if he was quite afraid of the middle-aged man in front of him, and he bent over and did not dare to wipe the spit from the other party's mouth splashed on his face.

"Yu account room, the note will naturally not be fake, but it is only 8,000 yuan, how can there be as much as 20,000 yuan? Why don't you take a closer look at whether there is any misunderstanding? ”

"Misunderstanding?" Eagle Hook snorted coldly: "It is a matter of course to repay debts, how to borrow, how to repay, are all determined, what is the use of you being noisy at this time!" It's convenient for you, who is convenient for me? ”

"But in just half a year, how did 400,000 dollars become millions of dollars? Yu Ledger Room, this ...... Isn't that too much? The old man's face was gloomy, and his facial features were almost wrinkled together.

The hooked nose slanted the old man, and he seemed too lazy to say nonsense: "In short, within ten days, if you can't come up with a million dollars, you will use your land deed to pay off your debts." ”

The old man's waist bent lower: "It's not that my family doesn't want to pay it back, it's really ...... You also know that last year encountered the imperial court's endowment, coupled with the military disaster of the previous year, and now it is preparing for the spring famine...... It's all about borrowing money to make it easy to survive until now, and my young master is also depressed because of this, and wants my family to come up with millions of cash......"

"What does it matter to me if you have any cash in your family?" The hooked nose was facing the sky and the nostrils were facing the old man, "Could it be that you are planning to settle the bill?" ”

The old man almost cried: "Yu Ledger, don't dare to talk nonsense!" Tell me about it, and let me have some more time to wait until after the autumn harvest. Even if you don't look at the old man who died in my family, it's also on the face of the county commander Qin......"

Before he finished speaking, the hooked nose suddenly interrupted the old man, and his voice became extremely sharp: "Xie lame, don't think about pulling the tiger skin to make a banner!" Who in these ten miles and eight townships doesn't know, the marriage contract between your Xie family and the Qin County Ling family is already yesterday's yellow flower, and the lord of Renxian has long planned to withdraw from the marriage, and he is still delusional about hugging people's thighs! Don't dream about you! ”

The old man repeatedly told him to forgive, but the hooked nose just didn't follow, and he didn't give an explanation today.

At the same time, in Xie Zuo's vision, only the attributes of a rickety old man appeared, and the hooked nose, including the family members he brought, was blank.

Name: Xie Qin

Identity: Xie Fu housekeeper

Loyalty: 94

Command: 9 (0)

Wu Yong: 4 (0)

Gambit: 11 (0)

Politics: 13 (0)

There is no doubt that the old man is the old housekeeper who has served the Xie family for three generations, Xie Qingyi's father, and is loyal to the Xie family.

However, Xie Zuo doesn't care about the problem of why the attributes are not fully displayed for the time being, Nima and a group of people are bullying an old man, and they still have to be shameless! What's more, the old man is his own family, where did you shoot a few garlic sprouts?

Fortunately, Xie Zuo is not an impulsive young man who ignores it as soon as his mind is hot, his eyes rolled, he beckoned to call the thick eyebrows on one side to his side, and gave a few words in his ear, let him prepare by himself, and then straightened his clothes, opened the door hard, and walked out of the gate with square steps.

The position of the old housekeeper was facing the gate, and Xie Zuo, who was the first to see it, suddenly trotted with a worried face, and when he arrived in front of Xie Zuo, he whispered: "Young master, why did you come out!" You are not in good health, how can you work like this? ”

Xie Zuo gave the old man a reassuring smile, and then arched his hand at the hooked nose:

"I didn't ask for advice, what is this brother called?"

Eagle Hook Nose also noticed Xie Zuo's appearance, and learned from the old butler's title that this was the arrival of the main master, and finally knew the difference between respect and inferiority, and lazily made a casual salute, but he didn't even bend down at all:

"In Xiayuben, Xi is the Yu family's account room, and I came to the door today to settle the accounts of the main family and your family, and I don't dare to ask the young master of the Xie family."

Stupid? What a broken name, all this! Xie Zuo couldn't help but smile and shook his hand, "It's easy to talk about the accounts." But what are you doing standing outside the hospital on this hot day? If you spread it, people will say that my Xie family doesn't know how to be hospitable. Why don't you come into my house and have some refreshments and rest? ”

Yu said in his heart that this young man would be a man, at least better than the old things. Besides, the big sun is really not very comfortable standing at the door and eating ashes, so he immediately nodded proudly and said: "Even so, I am tired of the young master of the Xie family!" ”

Xie Zuo smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the door:

"Please enter the house!"
