When Xue Pingping followed Meng Youyou to Yangliu Street, Gu Nanzhi was already waiting at the corner of the street.

Meng Youyou introduced to Xue Pingping: "This is Gu Nanzhi, Gu Gongzi is talented and clever, and he will rely on him a lot in business in the future." ”

Xue Pingping originally wanted to be more respectful to Gu Nanzhi according to the meaning of Meng Youyou, but after listening to Youyou's introduction, he seemed to appreciate him very much, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and he didn't even squeeze out a smile.

Meng Youyou introduced him to Gu Nanzhi again, "This is Xue Pingping, the prince of Jian'an, Brother Gu, you have to teach him more in the future." ”

"Xue Shizi, look up for a long time!" Gu Nanzhi arched his hand at him, his eyes stayed on him for less than three seconds, then he turned to Meng Youyou and said, "Mengniang, what kind words do you have between you and me, I should do my best for your affairs." ”

Dream is smiling, like a hibiscus out of the water. Xue Pingping felt extremely dazzling when he saw it, these two people frowned in front of him, what do you mean that you and I don't have to be polite? is still Mengniang, she is so affectionate, her genuine husband is still here!

Xue Ping's heart turned over the river and the sea, but his face was silent, and he only said leisurely: "Gu Gongzi is so dedicated to my wife's affairs, Xue is grateful." I've heard Gu Gongzi's name for a long time, I don't know what I'm doing at home? Who is it? ”

Xue Pingping didn't know anything about this Gu Nanzhi, but the other party seemed to be a huge threat to him, so he still had to figure out his identity and deal with it as soon as possible.

"Gu's family is in the middle of the road, and now I am alone and have nothing to rely on, fortunately, I met Mengniang, and I don't think I am a lowly ......" Gu Nanzhi's voice choked, and he looked at Mengyouyou with gratitude and said: "Engong and Mengniang's kindness to me cannot be repaid, if I can use it, I am willing to do everything I can to repay one or two." ”

"You and my wife have known each other for a long time?" Xue Pingping's heart was so sour that it was like eating a green plum, could it be that these two childhood sweethearts have long had feelings for each other?

"Brother Gu has been a lifesaver to me! Okay, let's have time to talk slowly in the future, so let's get down to business first. After Meng Youyou finished speaking, he had already raised his feet and walked forward, and Gu Nanzhi immediately followed.

Leaving Xue Pingping with an angry face, he muttered in a low voice: "Brother Gu, Brother Gu, you call so affectionately, but you have a cold face to your husband all day long." With a sigh, he hurried after him.

Behind Yangliu Street is the trade market, at this time the street has begun to be lively, the merchants are shouting loudly, the people are picking and choosing in the various shops, bargaining, the servants and maids who come out to buy will buy the good ingredients in large bags and small bags loaded into the car.

Meng Youyou walked to a shop called "Weiben Grain Store" and stopped, on the high and low shelves at the door of the shop, there were all kinds of rice and flour grains, and there were two guests in the shop yelling at Xiao Er.

"Your rice is full of sand, how can you eat it?"

"I ate your rice yesterday, and my stomach still hurts, so I have to lose money!"

The shopkeeper explained with a bitter face: "How come, we sell all good rice." ”

"What do you mean, I bought the rice from you yesterday, do you want to admit it?"

"There are three taels of sand in this pound of rice! You black-hearted profiteers, be careful that I go to the government to sue you! ”

"It's really wronged, we've been open for several years, and we'll never do this kind of self-smashing signboard." Xiao Er still patiently explained.

"We don't talk so much nonsense to you, tell your shopkeeper to come out!"

"Call the shopkeeper out, return the goods, and lose money!"

After a while, there were already a lot of people watching the excitement at the entrance of the store, and they all discussed and accused the merchants of unscrupulous behavior.

The three of them walked into the store.

Gu Nanzhi asked, "Two guests, can I take a look at your rice?" ”

"Look, all the big guys come to see, is this something that people can eat?"

Gu Nanzhi grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it in his hand, it was indeed mixed with some sand grains, he put it under his nose and smelled it, a salty and wet breath. He carefully inspected the rice in the store again, and it was all good rice, and there was no other smell.

"You two, did you really buy this rice in this store?"

"Of course, is this still fake? I still have the slip from the shopkeeper. As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down the quantity and silver taels on it.

"If your rice was bought here, then the sand was mixed in." Gu Nanzhi said affirmatively.

"Impossible! Who are you talking about here! One of them retorted.

"I'm just an ordinary person, but I can't see anyone making money out of nothing." Gu Nanzhi said with a righteous face, and said to the crowd of onlookers: "Everyone can take a look at the rice grain in this store, and then compare the rice of these two, it is obvious that they were deliberately mixed with sand and then came to extort money." ”

"You dog and mouse nosy guy, eat and hold up, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" The two men were angry.

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers changed direction, some said that the quality of the things in this store was reliable, some said that this store was operated in good faith, and then blamed the two people.

Seeing that the wind was not in the right direction, the two jumped up and said a few cruel words: "Let's go to report to the official, go and sue you, you wait for the lawsuit!" Then he fled in a hurry. The shopkeeper said to Gu Nanzhi with great gratitude: "Thank you for helping me out of the siege." ”

At this time, a man with a mustache squeezed through the crowd from outside, hurriedly walked in, and asked, "What happened, why are there so many people at the door?" ”

Xiao Er respectfully said to the visitor: "Shopkeeper Liu, someone came to make trouble just now and extorted money, and it was this son who helped us out of the siege." ”

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the few of them at Mengyouyou, and then bowed, "Thank you for your help, in order to express my gratitude, you can choose whatever you want in the store." ”

Xue Pingping immediately said: "You are the shopkeeper Liu?" I'm Xue Pingping, and this is Mengyou. Xue Pingping thought in his heart, he couldn't let Gu Nanzhi be in the limelight alone.

Shopkeeper Liu's originally smiling face immediately became serious after listening to Xue Pingping's words, the first two people asked him to go to Xue's mansion to see the new owner, he was too busy in the store to leave, I didn't expect to see Meng Youyou come today, even Xue Pingping came.

He knew that Xue Pingping was Wan Jinlan's son, and remembered that Wan Jinlan was harsh on him, and he couldn't get any extra benefits from working hard, and he heard that Wan Jinlan was sick and that the new owner was her daughter-in-law, so he breathed a sigh of relief and didn't put her in his eyes.

Now that people are in front of him, he can't hide anymore. I had to smile again: "I don't know if the owner is here, disrespectful, please go to the backyard with a cup of tea." ”

When a few people arrived in the backyard to sit down, Meng Youyou asked Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu has a lot of nobles, it is the time to do business in the morning, but he is not guarding the store, is there anything important?" ”

What's the matter, yesterday he went to Yihong Mansion to find a girl, who knew that he drank too much wine, and he couldn't get up this morning, so he finally got up, and he was entangled by a beauty again, so it was too late. But he couldn't let the owner know about it, so he said with a haha: "The dream owner is laughing, but it's just a private matter, and it can't be delayed." ”

"Someone has already hit the head, and what is the delay?" Xue Pingping answered: "If you don't want to do it, pack up your things and leave." ”

Shopkeeper Liu immediately nodded and apologized repeatedly: "The villain doesn't dare anymore, the owner forgives the sin." Although Wan Jinlan is harsh, the dividends given in a year are enough for his whole family to eat and drink, if it is known that he was driven away by the owner, who would dare to ask him to do things?

"Ask the owner for mercy, give me another chance, I will work hard, even if I am tired and tired, I will complain." Shopkeeper Liu swore an oath.
