Chapter 81: Pry the Corner
Steward Liu went downstairs to stop Zhao Si, and Zhao Si, who was stopped, looked at the richly dressed old man in front of him with a confused face, and asked, "Old man, do you know me?" ”
Steward Liu looked at Zhao Si's rough cloth clothes and swarthy clothes, like skin that had not been bathed for more than ten years, and felt very disgusted, how could the little girl of the Shen family cooperate with this kind of goods? It's displeasing to look at, but he wants to make a stumbling block with the Shen family, and he has to cooperate with this reckless man, so he can only pinch his nose and say arrogantly: "You are Zhao Si?" Little River Village's? ”
Zhao Si looked puzzled, but replied honestly: "Yes, I am, may I ask who you are?" ”
"Come with me!" After Steward Liu finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the teahouse, Zhao Si didn't know, but people could tell his name, know where his family lived, and ask for him by name, what was the matter? Anyway, he is a bachelor, with no parents and no wife and children, what idea can he have?
Zhao Si followed Steward Liu to the teahouse, and was a little at a loss for the thoughtful service in the teahouse.
Steward Liu waved his hand to let Cha Xiaoer retreat, took a sip of the teacup, and said straight in: "You have a contract with the Shen family?" ”
Zhao Si was startled, looked up at Steward Liu in surprise, and stammered in denial, "No...... No, what Shen family? I do not know! He got up and wanted to leave.
Steward Liu said slowly: "Why deny it? Not only can I find you, but naturally I will also know your relationship with the Shen family, I let you come up, without my permission, will you go out? ”
Zhao Si was even more shocked, buried his head in the door, and pulled the doorknob hard, but the door panel didn't move at all! He leaned against the door panel, looked at Steward Liu vigilantly, and threatened, "You...... What do you want? I'll report it to the official, I'll tell you! ”
"Heh," Steward Liu laughed mockingly, "It's just to talk to you about business, why be so nervous?" Sit down! ”
Talking about business? What kind of business to talk about? Zhao Si wanted to refuse, but he also knew that he would definitely not be able to get out if he didn't agree, so he could only sit back in place in disbelief, still looking at Steward Liu nervously.
Now that the words have been spoken, Steward Liu is not polite, and directly spreads out and says clearly.
"I'll pay double the price, you break the contract with the Shen family and sell the house to me!"
"Impossible!" Zhao Si subconsciously refused, and looked at Steward Liu angrily, it turned out that he had this idea! Boss Tian saved his life, how could he betray Boss Tian? For a while, the atmosphere between the two became tense.
Steward Liu was not in a hurry, his fingers were tapping on the table for a while and slowly, knocking Zhao Si upset, and yelled: "Don't knock!" ”
At this time, Steward Liu spoke slowly: "What good is it for you to follow the Shen family?" Collect so much rent every month, you have enough to eat and drink by yourself, but don't you want to leave a seed for the Zhao family? Do you want to be single for the rest of your life? If you marry a daughter-in-law and have children, you can't rent out this house, otherwise where will you live? If you can't rent it out, where will you get the money to support your family? Why don't you sell the house to me, and I'll sell it for twice the price on the market, which is enough for you to buy a new house elsewhere and marry a daughter-in-law, isn't it more cost-effective than cooperating with the Shen family? ”
It is undeniable that Zhao Si was moved by what he said, why didn't he want his daughter-in-law and children to be on the kang? But he didn't have any money! What's the use of just guarding a room that big? , still struggling and said: "But I signed a long-term contract with the Shen family, and I can't sell it!" ”
Steward Liu smiled, and said magnanimously: "Since this is the case, I won't embarrass you, in this way, you help me do something, and I will give you this number after the matter is completed!" He spread his fingers wide.
"Fifty taels? Forget it, I can earn it by cooperating with the Shen family! Zhao Si shook his head again and again.
Steward Liu looked at him with disgust, and said loudly: "Five hundred taels!" ”
Five hundred taels!? Zhao Si was shocked, this is too much, right? What is worth five hundred taels? Could it be that he was allowed to kill people and set fires? No, no, Zhao Si was in a mess.
Looking at Zhao Si's cowardice, Steward Liu became angry, but he couldn't really be angry, after all, he still had to cooperate with Zhao Si, so he took out a purse from his sleeve and slapped it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift for you, you go back and think about it!" With that, he got up and walked out of the tea-room.
Steward Liu walked without nostalgia, Zhao Si was a little swaying, reached out and took the purse and pinched it, it was almost full of hard objects piece by piece.
He had an incredible idea, opened the purse with trembling hands, and several pieces of silver with white flowers flashed his eyes inside, Zhao Si poured out the silver and checked it, at least twenty taels!
This time he was really shocked, did that person just now be so rich?
He hurriedly poured the silver back into his purse, put it in his arms and covered it tightly, he still understood the truth that wealth was not exposed!
Zhao Si's hands were still shaking when he got home, God, a full twenty taels! The man said he would give it, how rich is this?
——
After listening to Tian Jiyao's relay of Zhang Qi's words, Shen Yun was rarely silent, Tian Jiyao knew that he must be struggling in his heart now, and he didn't bother him to make decisions for him, but only accompanied him silently, and the two were relatively silent.
Tian Jiyao is not a person who can sit still, but fortunately, Shen Yun didn't let her wait long, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yaoyao, you can accompany me to do something." His mood was noticeably low, as if he had already made a decision.
"Good!" Tian Jiyao took a bite.
Shen Yun got up and walked to the desk, took out the books that were basically quite old from the many books in the bookcase, touched them lovingly, and reluctantly put them down for a long time.
Tian Jiyao couldn't bear to look at him like this, so she took the initiative to pick up a book and stir up the topic, "What kind of books are these?" Why have I never seen you take it out? "I flipped through it, but I didn't understand it too much.
Shen Yun's face was full of affection, and he replied: "These are the manuscripts of the Great Confucian Confucius, I'm afraid there are only a few left, and I still bought these books from a broken book stall." ”
"Huh? Is it so expensive? Tian Jiyao suddenly felt that these books weighed more than a thousand catties, so she hurriedly put them back.
Shen Yun was amused by her cautious actions and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, although these books are precious, they are not as precious as yours. ”
Tian Jiyao blushed, since the last kiss under the moon, Shen Yun has become more and more flamboyant, love words come casually, often make her blush, this time it is not surprising, Tian Jiyao's whole person is almost red from his heels to the tips of his hair, smack him, and said: "Just your flamboyant tongue!" ”
Shen Yun deliberately teased her, pretending to be unsteady with the book in her hand, "Eh, Yaoyao, catch it!" It's going to fall! ”
Tian Jiyao was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly reached out to catch the fallen book, and her eyes didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Poof" Shen Yun's lost laughter sounded in his ears, and Tian Jiyao realized that he had been tricked, and when he landed, his eyebrows were upside down, and he reached out to twist his ears.
Shen Yun hurriedly begged for mercy: "Yaoyao, Yaoyao, I was wrong, spare me this time!" He lifted the book in his hand to block it
