Hearing Zhou Zhong ask about the price of redeeming Su Niang, Qiu's mother immediately showed a philistine smile, thought about it for a while, and finally raised her head and said: "Since Zhou Gongzi wants to redeem Su Niang, the slave family is not welcome, according to the rules of our other courtyard, the price of the girl's redemption is ten times the annual maintenance fee, and Su Niang's annual maintenance fee is forty taels, that is to say, as long as the son takes out another four hundred taels of silver, he can take the person away!" ”

"Four hundred taels." Zhou Zhongzhong was a little safe, fortunately, he borrowed another three hundred taels from Xie Lingyun for the sake of insurance, otherwise he only relied on the three hundred taels from selling books, and I am afraid that there is really no way to take people away today.

However, before Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Qiu's mother show a treacherous smile, took out a deed of sale from her arms and said: "But Su Niang's yard has lived for so long, some places should have been repaired a long time ago, and during her pregnancy, our other courtyard is also delicious and delicious for her, these miscellaneous things add together, at least one hundred taels of silver must be added, so a total of five hundred taels, as long as Zhou Gongzi pays the money today, Su Niang's selling deed slave family will immediately offer it with both hands!" ”

"Add another hundred taels!" Zhou Chong's eyes froze, and he looked at Mother Qiu coldly, but the other party was indifferent at all.

"Nonsense, I've been pregnant for so long, and every time the food is delivered, it's either cold or leftovers, and it's worse than usual, where is there any preferential treatment?" At this time, Su Niang, who was beside Steward Xu, couldn't help it, and couldn't help but retort.

After hearing this, Qiu's mother glanced at her lightly, and then showed a disgusting smirk: "Su Niang, you have no conscience when you say this, you call me a mother, will I still treat my daughter badly, anyway, I have already let people send those who are delicious and delicious to your room, you have eaten and drunk, and now you don't admit it with a mouth, which makes Wei Niang really sad!" ”

Qiu's mother has also been rolling in the field of years since she was a child, and she has been invulnerable to a long time of practice, and at this time she even accused Su Niang of not admitting it, this kind of kung fu that reverses black and white is not something that ordinary people can master, and it is no wonder that the owner behind her handed over the entire courtyard to her to take care of.

Regarding Qiu's mother's shamelessness, Su Niang's face was flushed, but she couldn't find the words to refute it, and Steward Xu knew that it was pointless to quarrel with the other party at this time, so she gently patted Su Niang's back to let her dissipate her anger.

"Mother Qiu, are you sure it's five hundred taels, and it won't be changed again?" Zhou Zhong was very calm, for people like Qiu's mother, he was too lazy to quarrel, because that would only lower his identity.

"Five hundred taels, what the slave family says counts!" Qiu's mother blinked her wrinkled triangular eyes, and threw a wink at Zhou Zhong by the way, which made him so disgusting that he almost vomited the overnight meal.

Disgusting to disgusting, Zhou Zhong didn't forget the business, I saw him take out the six hundred taels of silver tickets he had just arrived from his arms, took out one and put it back in his arms, and then handed the rest to Qiu's mother and said: "Here are five hundred taels of silver tickets, take Su Niang's deed of sale, the silver ticket is yours!" ”

Qiu's mother was also shocked when she saw that Zhou Chong really took out five hundred taels at once, originally in Su Niang's situation, the price she offered four hundred taels was high enough, and then added one hundred taels, she wanted to see Zhou Chong and Steward Xu's jokes, but she didn't expect Zhou Chong to even think about it, and suddenly took out five hundred taels of silver to redeem Su Niang, which was really unexpected by her.

Seeing that Mother Qiu was stunned and did not respond to her words, Zhou Chong frowned and said again: "What, Mother Qiu, do you want to regret it?" ”

Only then did Qiu's mother react, and hurriedly smiled: "How dare the slave family regret it, but I didn't expect Zhou Gongzi to be so generous, and he actually took out five hundred taels at once." ”

When she said this, Qiu's mother turned her head to look at Song Ergongzi in the distance, but unfortunately the other party didn't know what was going on here, so naturally there would be no response. ”

After Zhou Zhong took the deed of sale and verified that it was correct, he handed over the silver ticket in his hand to Qiu's mother. And when Zhou Zhong took the deed of sale, Su Niang and Steward Xu behind him cried with joy, their hands clasped tightly, and they couldn't even bother to wipe their tears.

At this time, Song Ergongzi in the distance finally saw that something was wrong, and immediately ran over quickly to look at the deed of sale in Zhou Chong's hand, and then looked at the silver ticket in Qiu's mother's hand, and then angrily yelled at Qiu's mother: "What's the matter, why did you give him the deed of sale?" ”

Mother Qiu didn't dare to offend Song Ergongzi, so she immediately smiled and said: "Song Gongzi is angry, Zhou Gongzi spent five hundred taels of silver to buy back Su Niang's deed of sale, our other courtyard is a serious businessman, naturally we can't talk and don't count, and forget Song Gongzi's understanding!" ”

"Five hundred taels?" Song Ergongzi was also shocked when he heard this, although their Song family was rich, but the last donation of two thousand taels made the whole family feel distressed for a long time, and now Zhou Zhong actually took out five hundred taels to buy an old and decrepit prostitute, which is enough to buy a red girl with both color and art in the flower boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

Seeing the angry appearance of Song Ergongzi, Zhou Chong stepped forward with a smile, and then said slowly: "Song Ergongzi doesn't have to be angry, originally Zhou had no money to redeem Su Niang, but just an hour ago, I went to Lingyun, and she gave me six hundred taels at once, I really couldn't refuse, so I accepted it!" ”

Zhou Zhong said this, in line with the principle that anger does not pay for life, he reached out and took out the only remaining silver ticket from his arms, and then sniffed it lightly, showing an intoxicated expression on his face, as if there was still Xie Lingyun's body fragrance on it.

"You are talking nonsense, how could Lingyun give you money for no reason?" Hearing Zhou Chong suddenly mention his sweetheart Xie Lingyun, and she also gave him silver, coupled with Zhou Chong's frivolous actions, Song Ergongzi suddenly lost his mind, and pointed at Zhou Chong and yelled violently.

"This is thanks to Brother Song Xian, if it wasn't for you last time, Lingyun and I wouldn't have met in the teahouse, and then Lingyun even visited me, at that time, the son of the Xu Governor's Mansion and Brother Minglun were there, if you don't believe it, you can ask, and then Lingyun felt that I was a good person, their Xie family was so rich, so send me some money to this poor man, didn't your Song family also donate two thousand taels to the victims some time ago?" Zhou Chong added fuel to the fire again, and he still made an innocent expression on his face.

Song Ergongzi was angry when he heard this, although he tried his best to get close to Xie Lingyun, but the other party seemed to have been avoiding him, and he couldn't find anyone during this time, but he didn't expect that Zhou Chong was favored by Xie Lingyun, and he couldn't bear this tone no matter what.

"You...... You...... I...... I ......" Song Ergongzi trembled and pointed at Zhou Chong, wanting to scold but couldn't scold, just at this time a vicious aura surged up in his chest, but he didn't catch his breath, and his eyes rolled and fainted.

"Ah~" Seeing her benefactor fainting, the bewitching woman next to Song Ergongzi screamed and hurriedly supported him, Qiu's mother was also worried about what Song Ergongzi was doing in the other courtyard, so she hurriedly asked the thugs behind her to help, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Su Niang's deed of sale has been obtained, and Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu's purpose has been achieved, so there is no need for them to wait in the other courtyard for a long time, and the three of them are preparing to leave here together.

But at this moment, the bustard's mother Qiu Mother blocked their way with a flattering face, and said to Zhou Zhong with a smile on her face like a chrysanthemum: "Zhou Gongzi, the Lingyun you said just now is Miss Lingyun from Huating Xie Mansion?" ”

"Yes, what is Mother Qiu asking for?" Zhou Zhong said very coldly, these brothels are all characters who recognize money and don't recognize people, all of them are ruthless, and Zhou Chong is lazy to deal with this kind of person at all.

"Oops~, you see that the old body is really old and confused, you have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, you were offended just now, and you don't blame Zhou Gongzi!" When Qiu's mother heard the definite answer, she immediately changed her face at 360 degrees, and her old face smiled like a pleated bun.

However, Zhou Zhong couldn't figure out what Qiu's mother meant, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to keep a cold face, planning to see what the other party was going to do?

Mother Qiu is worthy of being a person who has a cheeky race on the city wall, she turned a blind eye to Zhou Chong's indifference, and after laughing, she still said enthusiastically: "The old body was really old and confused just now, and I forgot that the houses in the courtyard don't need to be repaired at the expense of the girls, and it looks like the New Year is coming, I have a game with Su Niang's mother and daughter, and there is nothing to give her, today the old woman will take matters into her own hands and reduce the cost of Su Niang's redemption to three hundred taels, so these two silver tickets are also asked to be collected by Zhou Gongzi!" ”

Qiu's mother said, reluctantly took out two of the silver tickets in her hand, and then sent them to Zhou Zhong with a flattering face.

Zhou Chong couldn't figure out the specific reason why Qiu's mother's attitude changed so much for a while, but he knew that Lu Dao must be related to Xie Lingyun, could it be that this brothel is the Xie family's industry? But as far as Zhou Zhong knows, the Xie family has always been very good, and the Xie family was the first batch of people who donated the most money last time the disaster victims donated. In addition to participating in smuggling, he has never touched industries such as pornography and gambling, so this does not make sense.

However, although Zhou Zhong couldn't figure out the reason for it for the time being, since everyone had sent the money back, how could he have no reason not to accept it? Therefore, I saw that he also smiled, stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and said: "I see, I didn't expect that the relationship between Mother Qiu and Su Niang was so deep, and my son accepted it on behalf of Su Niang and Uncle Xu!" ”

Seeing Zhou Chongken take the money back, Qiu's mother's expression relaxed, as if she had put down a boulder, and the whole person was much more relaxed. Then she complimented Zhou Chong a few words, and then personally sent Zhou Chong out of the courtyard.
