Chapter Eighty-Five: The Distinguished Guest Arrives

Although Zhuli is not even a town, it is a place where merchants come and go after all, and the Chen family still knows the rules of the restaurant that has been doing it for a long time. First served a pot of three white wines and a bowl of side dishes with wine, so that the two of them were not in a hurry.

Xu Yuanzuo poured a full wine for Master Lu and asked, "Master, don't come unharmed?" ”

Lu Fuzi smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

Xu Yuanzuo glanced up and said with a smile: "Students look at the master's face, there must be happy events in the family." ”

Lu Fuzi raised his eyebrows, but sighed a little, and half-jokingly: "Your face skills are very sparse, it seems that you can't make a living from this." ”

Xu Yuanzuo laughed: "That's natural, I'm still at ease to be my little shopkeeper." He listened to Master Lu's tone, it seemed that the family was not very happy, it was really a great thing, and he was naturally happy.

"But the master is looked up to, and the brother is talented, why sigh?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.

Lu Fuzi sighed again and said, "It's not my dog, it's not worrying." ”

Xu Yuanzuo's heart moved, and said: "Brother Shi is very talented, Mr. is really too harsh to say this." ”

Lu Fuzi shook his head and said, "It's far inferior to you." He paused, and then said, "Although I have earned more money this year than in previous years, I am not annoyed to hear that the price of cloth in the county town is going to rise sharply again." ”

Xu Yuanzuo bowed slightly, and a trace of pride flashed in his heart: This is someone who will send a pillow when he is sleepy. It's just that this pride just got up, and was dispelled by another thought: since I knew that the Lu family was in the flower cloth business, and I also knew that the price of cloth was rising now, why didn't I expect that the Lu family should face this problem? It's really not thoughtful enough!

Lu Fuzi didn't know that Xu Yuanzuo was introspective, but he suddenly fell silent, thinking that he was also thinking about himself, and he was a little moved in his heart. He comforted: "This matter is not something you and I can decide, it is all decided by those wealthy families." ”

Xu Yuanzuo took a shallow sip of glutinous rice wine and said, "Master, since you are old friends with Steward Xu, why don't you follow his door?" ”

Lu Fuzi shook his head slightly: "Yuan Zuo, in the past, I only taught you to read and write, but I didn't teach you to be sophisticated." He drank all the wine in the cup and said: "The most taboo thing about this favor is to have no contact." I commend you to him, and it is for mutual benefit. But I went and begged him to buy cloth, and even if I gave him money, he was in a loss. Why? Because he has to beg others! Favor debts are much more expensive than silver debts! ”

Xu Yuanzuo bowed slightly, and said, "What Mr. is worried about, but there is some truth. ”

"Don't embarrass your family, especially your friends. You embarrass your friends a few times, and you don't have friends in the future. Lu Fuzi said.

Xu Yuanzuo was silent for a while, grasped the rhythm, and said, "Master, if I go and give the world brother a turn." I think that the big shopkeeper of the cloth shop over there has lived in the garden for several days, and it can be regarded as some friendship. ”

Xu Sheng is still locked up in the firewood room of Xia Wei New Garden, Xu Kun secretly sent someone to inquire, but how dare this kind of thing be publicized?

Lu Fuzi's eyes flashed with hope, but he said: "I owe everyone a favor ...... in vain."

"Not necessarily." Xu Yuanzuo said in a low voice: "Xu Sheng has always been full of personal pockets, as long as he gives him some rebates, he can allocate goods from the cloth shop, and the price will definitely be cheaper than that of the tooth shop." ”

Xujia cloth shop is equal to the manufacturer, and the tooth store and the business store are all dealers. It is naturally cheaper to take the goods directly from the manufacturer, but this will damage the market of the dealer.

But in this situation, who cares?

If you want to come to the tooth store and the business inn, you don't have to pay attention.

I don't dare to care.

Xu Yuanzuo said, and Lu Fuzi leaned forward slightly: "If this is really the case, how can my family be stingy?" ”

"It's ...... here" Xu Yuanzuo laughed dryly: "Please also ask Brother Shi to go with Jia Yan." ”

Lu Fuzi's eyes rolled, knowing that Xu Yuanzuo's identity was not suitable for directly helping his father get the goods, and he already knew that his son was a shield, so he naturally hit it off: "Such a two-sided benefit is naturally good!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said again: "I am about to secretly play the banner of Steward Xu, so the master over there has to come forward to thank the people, but I don't know that I am in it." ”

"That's nature." Lu Fuzi always eats and cooks: "I have my own measure." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "In that case, I'll get the deed in a few days." ”

"When the time comes, don't keep running back, send someone to deliver a message, I will call your brother who doesn't grow up." Lu Fuzi said.

Xu Yuanzuo also had this intention, and immediately nodded yes.

After a while, Xu Liangzuo came, and the Chen family and his wife also served hot dishes one after another, and the cups and lamps in the private room were staggered, and they feasted, needless to mention.

Lu Fuzi solved the problem at home, and he was naturally happy when he saw that his annual income was guaranteed. Xu Yuanzuo didn't owe favors to anyone, he got a lot closer to Master Lu, and solved his own needs, which was really killing three birds with one stone. Xu Liangzuo had nothing to worry about, and he had a chance to eat and drink, and he was actually the happiest of the three.

Xu Yuanzuo took the opportunity to reveal the continuation of the joint sect to Lu Fuzi. Although Lu Fuzi only congratulated lightly, he would definitely spread the news, so Xu Yuanzuo also announced to Quan Zhuli that his family and Xu Ge's hometown were relatives.

After eating a hearty meal, Lu Fuzi naturally planned to herd sheep in the afternoon's class.

Xu Yuanzuo went home to say hello to his mother, and saw that his father was depressed that he didn't invite him to eat at noon, so he simply rushed back to Xia Wei earlier, and he was still needed to be in charge there.

Although Xia Wei and Zhuli are not far away, the transportation cost is very distressing for small households. Xu Yuanzuo naturally didn't care about these, just like taking a taxi in later generations, he came and left as soon as he said, and he had already attracted boatmen to come over to solicit business from time to time. If the inn over there in Shangshu Town is opened in the future, I am afraid that Xu Yuanzuo will have to charter two boats for a long time.

In winter, the river is slower, and it is all up to the boatmen. Xu Yuanzuo was hiding in the cabin, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "The boatman over there, but it's from Zhuli?" ”

Listening to the voice, it was Luo Zhenquan.

Xu Yuanzuo opened the canopy, and suddenly a cold wind rushed in, which made him shiver, and he almost couldn't even open his eyes.

"Brother Luo, are you looking for me?" Xu Yuanzuo shouted back.

Luo Zhenquan was not afraid of the cold wind, stood at the bow of the ship, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Yuanzuo, and said, "Second Master Kun has come to the garden, please go back and entertain you." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "What a big deal, just invite him to sit down and drink tea." ”

Luo Zhenquan was not easy to talk to in front of the boat boss, an outsider, and said: "I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient to bump into the guests in the garden." ”

This guest naturally refers to Xu Sheng.

If Xu Yuanzuo was given a hundred dares in the later life, he would not dare to do such a kidnapping and imprisonment. But in this day and age, the chances of being caught and convicted are slim to none, and as long as there are enough benefits, what does it matter if you commit a crime. This is not to say that Xu Yuanzuo has no integrity, or that he is evil in his heart, it can only be said that he has slightly higher moral flexibility.

Xu Yuanzuo motioned to Luo Zhenquan, the boss of the boat, to turn around and go back, and the two boats were parallel to each other, so that it was convenient to speak. He said, "How thoughtful is the greeting from the guests?" ”

"The Ninth Master and Dali have brothers watching there." Luo Zhenquan said: "They don't buy the account of the second master Kun, but it is convenient." ”

"So what's there to worry about?" Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile: "I was going to visit Second Master Kun, but I didn't care about it." Now that the second master is here in person, this is a good thing. "Didn't do a good job, Xu Yuanzuo didn't dare to go to Xu Kun's private house lightly, in case that kid repaid the favor in his own way, he would fall into it like Xu Sheng.

Although this is a bit of a villain's heart, Xu Kun is not a gentleman in the first place, and he can even do things to buy corpses and frame him, what is kidnapping and imprisonment?

Luo Zhenquan was still a little worried, and said, "This guest has been staying for a long time." ”

"It's about two meals a day." Xu Yuanzuo left Xu Sheng and didn't let go, he had the intention of waiting for Xu Kun to enter the set, but now Xu Kun is here, just to complete the final closure.

Luo Zhenquan looked at Xu Yuanzuo's side face, and suddenly found that the face of his boss who got along day and night had changed a lot. Only from the side, it seems that the face is smaller, and the mountain roots are towering, which is quite tenacious. Look at him with a smile and a firm gaze, it is the atmosphere of those big ships that crisscross the sea back then.

"You seem to be a lot more handsome." Luo Zhenquan accidentally confided.

Xu Yuanzuo turned his head to look at him, with a smile on his face: "Do you mean that I have grown up?" ”

Luo Zhenquan was noncommittal and said, "But it's useless for the boy's parents to be handsome." ”

"No, no, no. Don't you hear it: Sister loves pretty, bustard loves money? It can be seen that the most important thing for a man is the money in his hand and his face. Xu Yuanzuo joked to Luo Zhenquan: "One of the two is not a single." ”

Luo Zhenquan was annoyed: "I have already fallen in love with a girl, and after the New Year, my father will come back and ask for marriage." ”

"Well, you're a money person now."

The boss of the boat rowing behind listened to the two of them, and although he didn't understand it, he grinned too.
