Chapter 12: Confrontation
Seeing that the worship was over, the wooden guests packed up their axes and ropes, and went out of the forest farm in a group, thinking that they should have entered the mountain. This god has worshipped, and the prosperity of entering the mountain one by one is much higher.
After a while, the forest farm was empty.
In addition to a few sisters upstairs, there are also a few cooks, men, and shopkeepers in the wine shop and room downstairs, and this side of the room is also very clean.
Liang Yu was happy to wander around for a while, and then pulled some grass to feed the donkey.
I just kept muttering in my heart, should I go directly to the north house, take a look with Shopkeeper Xiao, and see what kind of face he has, I can't hide in this place all the time, then I won't delay the master's business.
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he slept in the small side house for a while, and then got up and walked around the forest farm for a while, but it was the big yellow dog that followed him all the way with his tail wagging his tail. didn't salivate and asked him for anything, just blindly walked behind him, Liang Yuxi didn't bombard it, and he always felt that he was also a companion.
Liang Yuxi saw that the newly worn deerskin boots were also a little muddy, so he didn't know where he got the courage, so he walked to the north house.
As soon as he walked to the door of the north house, Wu Sheng came out of it and took a look, which shocked both of them. Wu Sheng looked at Liang Yuxi with his eyes, and almost snorted in his nose, and said: "Second shopkeeper, I didn't see you during today's worship, I was about to look for you, and the big shopkeeper has something to ask you."
Liang Yuxi thought that he was a second shopkeeper, but he didn't expect that this guy didn't have a single courtesy, and he didn't take him seriously at all. It's just that who in this forest farm sees himself as a character again? Liang Yuxi couldn't be annoyed when he thought about this, but he blamed himself for not having the ability to start and let others take a look at him.
Thinking of this, he wanted to see Shopkeeper Xiao's heart even stronger. He thought that no one valued him in this place, so he couldn't be without some reserve, so he deliberately only answered, and without saying much, he passed by and entered the courtyard.
Stepping into the courtyard, he also wondered when this shopkeeper was here, and learned that he was still in this forest farm after a catastrophe last night. Shopkeeper Xiao doesn't know about last night? Liang Yuxi felt that this was completely impossible.
After walking a few steps, I saw that the shopkeeper Xiao was sitting in the hall, he had changed into a satin-faced robe, and was holding a fan with fine teeth and bones sprinkled with gold to enjoy. looks leisurely, compared with the person in the morning, he is a rich man in front of him, and he is half murderous.
When Xiao Xiaoshen heard the movement, he raised his head, and his fat face smiled. He raised his hand and motioned for Liang Yuxi to sit down and call people to come and see the tea.
Liang Yuxi sat down after a slight salute, thinking that the second time he met this guy, his face changed so quickly. I don't know what kind of name is behind his smiling face? What did he do when he came to himself, or did he do something?
Xiao Xiaoshen said: "I can't find you everywhere this morning, and I'm still very anxious." Later, I heard that a few wooden customers who love to play laughed and played with you for a while last night, which frightened you a lot. The second shopkeeper has had some mistakes? If there is even a little discomfort, I will never let go of those splashes. ”
"Yes," Liang Yuxi nodded in acknowledgement.
Xiao Xiaoshen was a little stunned and said: "Oh, there is really such a thing, the second shopkeeper was shocked by this when he first came, I really don't know how to explain to Master Donglu." ”
Liang Yuxi was a little puzzled, he didn't believe that this Xiao Xiaoshen still had the old man Donglu in his eyes, but he was afraid that this forest farm would not be surnamed Donglu Mansion for a long time.
He thought that this place was not a place to be clever, and it was better to pretend to be stupid. He said: "It's good that the big shopkeeper wants to be the master for me, and I'm ready to report to the official." I still have some silver taels of my baggage and clothes, and they have been taken away. It's not much, but it's a bit too much. If the big treasurer is the master, please also ask them to return me. ”
Xiao Xiaoshen grinned, snorted and laughed a few times and said, "Second shopkeeper, slap me in the face like this." These wooden guests, they are all rough people, this place is also deep in the mountains and dense forests, they have nothing to do, you don't care. ”
He pointed to the door and said, "This forest farm was originally bought by Master Donglu and my uncle. In the past few years, my uncle has served in Bianjing, and there is still some thin noodles in the court, and the forest farm relies on this imperial court to fight for it, and it can barely make a living. Otherwise, the forest farm would have been in shambles. ”
Liang Yuxi knew that he was deliberately telling himself, and it was the first time he heard the origin of this forest farm. I thought, no wonder the old man has always been a little afraid of him, isn't he really afraid of his uncle? With his understanding of the master, Donglu Mansion will never partner with others to do business, if Xiao Xiaoshen is telling the truth, then the master must have to partner with others. Perhaps, this Xiao Xiaoshen's uncle is borrowing the power in his hands to coerce the master to partner, not necessarily.
Xiao Xiaoshen continued: "This forest farm is in my hands, and I can still survive, and it is in vain for others to interfere. Even if the old man of Donglu came, this forest farm was also defeated very quickly. ”
Liang Yuxi heard him say more and more outrageous, knowing that he was warning himself not to take the false names of these two shopkeepers seriously.
Xiao Xiaoshen's words changed, "I also know that Master Donglu sent you here not to really care about how this forest farm is. He's probably something else important! ”
He finished the last sentence that seemed to be an answer, and glanced at Liang Yuxi's face a few times.
Liang Yuxi hurriedly said, "There is no thing, there is no thing." I felt that I was too flustered, and said: "The big shopkeeper is too worried, and the master just ordered me to help me." ”
"I don't have anything to help here, you can just go by yourself." Liang Yuxi didn't expect Xiao Xiaoshen to unceremoniously issue an eviction order.
He took a sip of tea and suppressed his shock, only to feel that the cold sweat on his forehead came out.
He thought that this kind of weakness was not a solution. There is no one to reason with you here, and you can't get kindness by giving in. Since Xiao Xiaoshen is still holding his face and has not yet exposed the heart of the robber, it is easy to deal with it by saying something useful.
The big shopkeeper spoke slowly. My lord is also a well-known rich man in Qinghe County, whether it is poverty relief or tax donations, he is also well-known in the government and the people. The big shopkeeper also said that this forest farm is a partnership between my lord and others, so is my lord a partner in this forest farm? ”
Xiao Xiaoshen didn't think about it, this half-sized man still has such a neat mouth, and he can't say anything for a while.
"Since my lord is a partner in this forest farm, according to this business practice, it is also within the law and reason to send a second shopkeeper. Big treasurer, what's wrong with that? ”
After listening to him, Xiao Xiaoshen sneered: "Since this is the case, it couldn't be better." You're here to listen to the errand. After speaking, he got up and threw Liang Yuxi down and walked away by himself.
Liang Yuxi sat in a daze for a while, walked out of the north room, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and suddenly felt that the green mountains outside had become more beautiful, and the wind was a little warmer on his face. Xiao Xiaoshen's annoyed face did not make Liang Yuxi feel half cowardly.
The big yellow dog waited for him to come out at the door, and followed him to the westhouse.
As soon as I walked downstairs to the Westinghouse, I heard someone upstairs laughing and saying, "Wu Niang, your father-in-law is back, why don't you go and serve soon." ”
As soon as he looked up, the second sister and the five sisters were climbing on the window lattice, grinning at him.
Liang Yuxi was happy and shouted loudly: "Master is back!" It's back! ”
