Chapter 51: Torment

Zhou Peng saw that his father's face was wrong, and he stepped forward at the risk of being scolded, he looked at it like this, and blurted out a sentence: "Are you trying to rob money?" ”

The shopkeeper Zhang had one blue eye, and his eyes showed the disdain of the city people looking at the countrymen.

"Zhou Gongzi, I think you have also come to the store before to see the goods and prices of the small store. The things we sell in our shop are all from other places and come by sea, and they are the only ones. Then he pointed to a few places on the list and said, "This set of porcelain is originally four cups." Now it's no longer possible to break one and lose another. And this one is made of rare amber from Higashigu Island, and now it has been trampled by your men. And this ......"

In Zhou Jingyi and Zhou Peng's increasingly ugly faces, he pointed down one by one, from gems to spices, from jewelry to porcelain, the price of each piece exceeded their imagination, Zhou Jingyi just wanted to beat this son to death at the moment to pay this compensation.

Zhou Peng was also like a deflated ball, and he didn't have the courage to continue listening.

Zhou Jingyi clutched his chest and didn't want to look at any more orders, no matter what price the shopkeeper opened now, they could only compensate according to the price. Because he also heard that the goods in the Su family's shop were all transported from the Donggu Island in the outer regions, and Da Ming was the only one.

It can be said that the things in the Su family's shop are all rare treasures. If you want to buy the same compensation from somewhere else, don't even think about it.

When Zhou Jingyi looked at Zhou Peng again, there was a deep hatred in his eyes. Just accompanied people for nearly a million taels in this way, do you think this silver is blown by the wind?

Zhou Peng also regretted it at this time, he shouldn't have listened to Song Mingjie's words, and he didn't complain about the Su family's shop, and he also lost a lot of silver.

It's too late to say anything, people have a mighty prince as a backer, and they can't play tricks if they want to. The father and son of the Zhou family obediently handed over the silver and politely sent Wei Huaian and Shopkeeper Zhang out.

When the person walked away, Zhou Jingyi asked people to close the door, kicked Zhou Peng to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Send the third prince to the ancestral hall, no one is allowed to let him out without me." ”

Su Muling looked at the silver ticket brought back by the shopkeeper and smiled, "It seems that our losses are not so much, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was a little proud: "He delayed our business for a day, and he dared to speak rudely to the young owner, and asked for more silver so that he could also have a good memory." ”

Su Muling took out two silver tickets of two hundred taels and handed them to the shopkeeper: "You keep one by yourself, and the other one is divided among the guys, everyone is frightened this time, there should be no more such things in the future." ”

With the big mountain of Wei Huai'an, if you knock on the mountain and shake the tiger for such a moment, I am afraid that no one will dare to trouble them again.

Shopkeeper Zhang thanked Su Muling and left with the silver ticket.

The shopkeepers in the Su family are all rich masters. The Su family gave the shopkeeper not a monthly case, but a commission. The more you sell, the higher you raise. The shopkeepers in several shops in Songjiang have fertile fields and large mansions in their homes. Life is rich, and the small life is nourishing. There is money to be made in the Su family, but the owner has not done so much, and several shopkeepers are heartfelt to the Su family.

In a blink of an eye, it was August, and Su Muling had been in the capital for almost a month. After that incident, no one in the Su family shop has ever come to trouble.

Su Muling was homesick, packed up his things, and handed over the shop to the shopkeeper Zhang, and Su Muling returned home from the waterway.

On the shore, full of hope, she didn't see Zhen Youan, only Dongping was waiting for her at the pier in a carriage.

"Miss, you're back. The lord asked me to pick you up. ”

"Where's my uncle?" Su Muling was a little disappointed.

"My uncle is not at home."

"Where are you going?"

"This ...... The little ones don't know. ”

Yes, how can the master report to the coachman when he goes out.

Su Muling stepped on the footstool and got into the car, lifted the curtain, and met Zhen Youan's smiling peach blossom eyes.

The corners of his mouth hooked up, leaned forward and stretched out a big hand to help her, but Su Muling stretched out his hand but slapped it lightly in his palm, and then said coquettishly: "You don't learn well, dare to lie to me." ”

"Isn't that trying to surprise you?" The gentle tone made Su Mu's heart like a deer.

"Where is this surprise, I'm afraid it's frightening, a good man appeared in the carriage and scared him to death."

Su Muling sat down next to him, and Zhen Youan poured tea and handed it to her. Su Muling poured it down, and she was really thirsty all the way.

"Is it going well in the capital?" Zhen Youan was next to her on one side, and her nose was filled with her body fragrance.

"Well, it's okay, someone is trying to trouble us, thanks to Wei Shizi who arrived in time. And the shadowless ......."

Su Muling said again about him and Pomegranate teaming up to break Song Mingjie's legs, and at the end he said again: "I think Wuying is quite suitable for being a guard, he has secretly followed me for so many days, and I didn't even notice it, even Pomegranate didn't notice it." ”

Zhen Youan smiled, he was originally doing this, if he didn't even have this ability, he would have been buried in the sea a long time ago.

"What about you? What have you done these days? ”

"Look at the ledger and recuperate."

"yes, I don't think there's something wrong with you. Your throat, okay? ”

Su Muling turned to look at him. Zhen Youan nodded.

"So your voice is so good." Full of magnetism and warmth, it feels as if I've heard it somewhere? Su Muling's big eyes scanned his face, searching his mind for the source of the voice......

Zhen Youan likes her like this now, her big furry eyes are flashing, and her two willow leaves are bent and her eyebrows are long. When I think about it seriously, the corners of my eyes and eyebrows are less sharp and angular than before, and there are more innocent and lovely girls.

staring at her plump and rosy lips with good eyes, Zhen Youan lowered his head...... A kiss falls, like a dragonfly dotting water, and it leaves with a slight touch.

Su Muling's face turned red instantly, pushed him away and turned around. How can it be so intimate?

Zhen Youan didn't seem to expect such a move, and regretted his recklessness for a while: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Gaffe. "They are a contract couple, he is leaving, he can't do too much to her.

The fire that had just ignited in Su Muling's heart was thrown into the ice water in an instant, his face turned from red to white, and his lips trembled slightly.

Loss? Does he regret what he did? Yes, he is going to leave after all, and he has broken up without worry. She didn't turn around, still keeping her back to him, neither of them spoke again, and the carriage fell silent, except for the sound of wheels crashing on the ground.

Zhen Youan wanted to break this deadlock and say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say. If you can't give her the life she wants, then don't let her have hope in herself. After he left, she still had to get married, and he didn't want to ruin her life.

Back at the Su family, Su Muling went directly to Su Haoran's room and told him carefully about what had happened in the capital these days, but she omitted the part of Song Mingjie's design and Su Wanqing's beating, she was afraid that Su Haoran would find out about it and make other messes that would affect her entire plan.

Out of Su Haoran's courtyard, Su Muling instructed Xichun.

"You go and ask the housekeeper to meet me in the study in the front yard."

Xichun went, Su Muling walked in no hurry, and when she arrived, Cao Gui also came in a hurry.

"Steward Cao, when do we buy charcoal and cotton clothes for the winter every year?"

"Miss Hui, in previous years, these were prepared at the beginning of October."

"October is too late. In this way, you will prepare early this year, and the clothes for the winter will be two per person according to the usual practice, but they will be thicker than in previous years. More charcoal should also be stored. As for the volume...... Three times as many as in previous years. The following Zhuangzi also notified them and prepared them in equal amounts. ”

"Yes."

"Also, the autumn harvest is coming soon, in addition to the grain produced by each Zhuangzi, each Zhuangzi will receive another 50,000 catties. Remember, it's just more, it's not too much, and the price is high. ”

"So much? Miss, this food is no more than charcoal and clothing. If you can't eat it after the New Year, it's stale grain. If the storage is not good, and the bugs are regenerated, then the loss will be large. Cao Gui reminded.

"Don't worry, do as I say."

Su Muling was very confident. Because she knew that there would be heavy snow in the beginning of winter and spring, all the prefectures and counties around the capital, as well as Songjiang, were affected to varying degrees, and the victims were displaced and countless people were injured.

She is a woman who speaks softly and admonishes the people, but no one will believe her. She can only do her best to protect her family while doing what she can.

Back in the house, Su Muling wrote a letter by hand, telling the Liu family to prepare more food, charcoal and cotton clothes this year. As for why she didn't say it, she believed that the people of her grandfather's family would do what she said.

That night, Su Muling, who had not dreamed for a long time, had another nightmare, she dreamed that her mother's face was blue and her hands were desperately pulling the clothes on her chest, and she was in pain. She wanted to hug her mother, but she didn't feel a pair of legs, and gradually, her eyes lost their light, and fear ensued in the darkness.

“…… Mother? Mother's ......"

As soon as the frightened cry arose, a figure rolled over from the couch to the bed, and stretched out his long arms to hold her in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here! I won't let anyone hurt you! ”

Su Muling woke up from his dream, a familiar voice, a familiar taste, hugged his waist tightly Su Muling couldn't cry himself.

"I'm sorry, it's me who is bad. Actually, I would like to stay with you, but I can't, I still have things to do, it's dangerous, I can't bother you. ”

Zhen Youan blamed himself very much in his heart.

Su Muling never opened her eyes, her head was buried in his arms, and she asked in a heavy nasal voice: "Then you like me, right?" ”

"Yes, you are a lovely, kind, good person to you, you will take a heart out of him. You like this, I can't help but love. But that's why I can't let you get hurt. ”

"I see." It's that she wants too much.

Su Muling stopped making a sound, and the hand holding him did not let go. Zhen Youan didn't return to the couch, and the two slept on the bed together as they had just gotten married.

……

Su Hao's courtyard was empty, and Su Muling began to persuade him to accept Ru Yan. This time, she didn't have much effort, and Su Haoran agreed.

Su Haoran is only less than forty, and if the backyard is empty all the time, it is indeed inappropriate. Instead of being with a woman who doesn't know anything about temperament, it's better to accept Ruyan, a girl.

Daddy nodded, Su Muling called Ru Yan to his room again, told her what he meant, and finally asked her, "Are you willing to be an aunt by the master's side?" ”
