Su Qin and Su Dai agreed with the brothers, so after lunch, Su Dai packed his bags, drove the carriage himself, and took his wife Gao Yan to Qin State. Because Su Qin intended to repay Zhang Yi, he specially ordered someone to bring in property worth 500 gold, let Su Dai collect it, and hand it over to Zhang Yi at that time.

Before Su Dai left, Su Qin suddenly thought again: "What if Senior Brother Zhang Yi resolutely refuses to accept it in his usual temper?" He quickly stopped Su Dai again and instructed him: "After you catch up with Zhang Yi, don't explain to him that I gave him this money, just say that you saved it by doing business yourself." ”

As soon as Su Dai heard what his brother said, he understood his thoughts at that time, and replied: "Brother Ji, don't worry, I will be measured and promise to deliver the property to him." ”

In order to thank his younger brother Su Dai for his tireless work, Su Qin specially added another 200 gold, and the right to be his entangled party, Su Dai and Gao Yan excused themselves, and when they saw that Su Qin was determined to give it, they accepted it.

Since Zhang Yi left, Su Qin's joy has been dispelled a lot, although he is still happy in his heart, but there are hidden worries from time to time, the worry is not the trouble and difficulties caused by Zhang Yi joining the Lian Heng Front, but whether he can gain a foothold in the Qin State, and whether his younger brother Su Dai can catch up with Zhang Yi in time.

With these melancholy, Su Qin completed the things he had to do after returning home little by little, and he really fulfilled his promise and gave his relatives and friends a reward, although it will also vary according to the distance and depth of affection, but it is almost a copy for everyone, and I hope that everyone will be happy.

Su Qin's past acquaintance, Xu Gao, the richest man in Luoyang, heard that Su Qin had returned to Luoyang, and he personally came to visit Su Mansion the next day, hoping to invite Su Qin to Xu Mansion for a while.

When Xu Gao saw Su Qin, he was very excited, and he couldn't stop boasting: "I said that you are a 'god man', and others always think that I can't see people accurately, but now it's not fulfilled." Who is not a man of God who can accomplish such a great feat? ”

Su Qin knew that Xu Gao's superstition was hopeless, so he simply didn't excuse himself, and let him show his wisdom as a person. Xu Gao was not ordinarily enthusiastic, and after repeated invitations, Su Qin couldn't disobey him, so he promised that three days later, after finishing the affairs in the house, he would go to Xu's mansion to play.

Su Qin boasted: "The Mingjian Lake and Tingfeng Xuan in your Xu Mansion are both first-class good scenery, I still remember walking by the lake and drinking in the Xuan, so comfortable, it is really evocative." ”

When Xu Gao heard this, his face was embarrassed, he scratched his head, and said: "Alas, I know that you like those two landscapes the most, but when you return to my Xu Mansion, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to satisfy your desire to enjoy the wind and the moon." ”

When Su Qin heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Aren't Mingjian Lake and Tingfeng Xuan in your mansion?" Why can't you even go? ”

Xu Gao's face turned red, and he didn't speak. Wu Jing, who came with Xu Gao, said with resentment: "My master's mansion is now half occupied by that Lu Tong, and the lake and pavilion have been cut off by Lu Tong's wall and become his property. ”

Su Qin came out with an "ah" and exclaimed, "There is such a thing, how did he take it?" This Lu Tong is deliberately trying to frame others, it's really damned! ”

Wu Jing was originally appointed by Xu Gao to travel to Zhao State, Yan State and other places with Su Qin, and this time he returned to Luoyang, and returned to Xu Gao's mansion where he lived since he was a child, visited his relatives, and met his past master Xu Gao by the way. He didn't expect that in the three years that the Xu family had changed in the three years since he left, it was completely unexpected by Wu Jing.

Su Qin asked about the reason why the Xu Mansion was forcibly divided into two parts, Xu Gao was a little embarrassed because of this matter, and he didn't want to say more, Wu Jing didn't care so much.

He replied angrily: "Lu Tong didn't use the old tricks of the past to take some worthless so-called 'antiques' to fool my master, and said that the feng shui of that place is not good. In this way, the Xu Mansion gave Mingjian Lake and Tingfeng Xuan to Lu Tong in a daze, along with the concubines, maids, and servants there, all of whom lost to Lu Tong. ”

Wu Jing revealed the old bottom of it, Xu Gao couldn't hold it on his face, he had the heart to stop Wu Jing, but since Wu Jing followed Su Qin, he was already a person with a free identity, and he was a close person to Su Qin, so it was inconvenient for him to have a seizure in person.

Xu Gao was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he defended: "I owe tens of thousands of dollars to others, so I have to pay off the debt, Lu Tong's bid is reasonable, and my life is full of water and lack of soil, so my father named it 'Gao'." There is an extra lake in my house, and a lot of water has been added, so I can't have children. ”

Su Qin saw that Xu Gao was still very superstitious, shook his head helplessly, and said: "This is not necessarily, how can you believe in the so-called fate!" ”

Xu Gao looked very serious and replied: "Don't say it, since I sold Mingjian Lake, I really got a son, isn't this effective?" ”

Wu Jing said: "I have been away for all these years, it is probably such a happy event, and everything else is bad news." Xu Gongzi will have to restrain his mind in the future and manage the Xu family's industry well. ”

Xu Gao couldn't bear the unhappiness in his heart, although he nodded, he replied unhappily: "I still need your persuasion, I have my own measure." ”

Wu Jing also saw that Xu Gao was unhappy, so he stopped talking, he turned to think of Lu Tong's behavior, and said angrily: "That treacherous villain Lu Tong, who bullied and dominated the market in Luoyang, disregarded people's lives, and did all kinds of evil, he was really innocent, why did he let Mingjian Lake dominate." ”

He suddenly had an idea and said: "Now that Lu Tong has become a prisoner, he will no longer be blessed to enjoy Mingjian Lake, it is better to take back the lake, Prime Minister Su, you can live in it." Wu Jing was excited by his own flash of inspiration, and his face was triumphant.

Xu Gao also felt that Wu Jing's idea was advisable, and he echoed: "I heard that the people of Luoyang who want to settle accounts with Lu Tong are all lined up, and he himself owes a lot of debts to others. Now that they have lost their dependence, which of those creditors does not want to eat their flesh and invade their bones to take revenge! ”

Su Qin himself felt that this matter was inappropriate, and replied: "The crime committed by Lu Tong will naturally be punished by Wang Fa, and Mingjian Lake and Tingfeng Xuan will also be sold to repay the debts of those creditors." But this mansion was redeemed by you Xu Gao, isn't it just a coincidence! ”

Xu Gao listened to Su Qin's words and understood that he had good intentions, but he also had difficulties, and replied to Qin: "I don't have the money to redeem Mingjian Lake and Tingfeng Xuan now, and Lu Tong's debt to those creditors is at least five thousand gold, which is not a small amount." ”

He was really unwilling to redeem Mingjian Lake, and added: "Besides, my fate is in harmony with water, how can I put such a large lake in the mansion again." He said, his head shaking like a rattle.
