Chapter 107: Trouble

Recently, Zhong Shiwei is in a period of extreme restlessness, and he will suddenly disturb many things inexplicably. Without a cause, without warning. I don't believe in superstition very much, and he recently found Xiangshi to relieve the troubles in his heart, but Xiangshi not only did not bring him any improvement after watching it for a long time, but also gave him a lot of things that he should crack, and for a while, Zhong Shiwei's troubles were even better.

Earlier, the subordinates of the Zhong Mansion told Zhong Shiwei that the mansion opposite the Linglong Pavilion had changed owners. This is not a big deal for Zhong Shiwei at all, he has long known that there will be such a day.

It is true that the one who lived opposite was a magistrate in the capital, and in the early years, when Zhong Shiwei was not so prominent, he always stammered and stammered with him. I don't know if it's because my grade is not enough or because the old pusher is exceptionally incorruptible, and I was rejected by the old pusher softly after stammering a few times.

Although the knot failed, Zhong Shiwei never dared to slack off, and later learned that the old magistrate had a hobby and a special love for tea, so Zhong Shiwei tried his best to get some good tea to pay homage to the New Year's holiday. Although the two houses are on both sides of the street, over the years, the relationship between the two families has been limited to this.

Later, Zhong Shiwei's business grew stronger and stronger, but the old promoter had been working in the position of Liupin for more than ten years, knowing that he had returned to his hometown a few days ago, and he had no intention of being promoted. It seems that this life should also come to an end in this position. Later, Zhong Shiwei also despised the old magistrate, and he did nothing all his life, but fortunately he didn't have much capital, otherwise he would definitely lose his money!

A few days ago, Zhong Shiwei saw that the house opposite began to enter and exit the commotion, and when he inquired, he learned that the old magistrate had approved the excerpt of the old man returning to his hometown, and he was preparing to return to his hometown for so many days. In his life, he has been an official in the capital for more than ten years, and in the end this is the end. Zhong Shiwei really sighed for the old magistrate, but the so-called people take tea and cool, and this is the same reason for the official. Zhong Shiwei wanted to ignore it, but thinking that after all, there were still so many years to move around, not to mention the modest efforts that the old magistrate had done when he helped him defeat Yipinxiang, Zhong Shiwei still sent his family to see him off with some gifts. Although the gift was later returned, Zhong Shiwei had no intention of going in person.

I thought that I would wave my sleeves to say goodbye to my neighbors for many years, but I didn't expect that before the old pusher set off, his funeral was the first. There was a delay here and outside.

But everything is in the past, when the old official's family helped the official to leave, the capital didn't even seem to have a person to see him off, Zhong Shiwei was not so ruthless, early that morning, he watched behind the window lattice of Linglong Pavilion for a long time, until the team left disappeared.

I thought that the house opposite would be vacant for a long time, but I didn't expect that the old pusher seemed to have a new owner living in the front foot as soon as he left, and what was even more strange was that even if Zhong Shiwei was on the opposite side all day long, he didn't find anyone coming to talk about buying a house. Although the mansion of the old magistrate is not magnificent, it is definitely not a cheap house based on its geographical location and floor area. What's more, Zhong Shiwei didn't know any news at all.

What's even more strange is that the owner on the opposite side seems to be in a hurry to move in, and the decoration is also working overtime, and what makes Zhong Shiwei even more amazing is that the owner of the opposite house has expanded on the original basis, but the official in charge of the capital has not kicked the door!

Zhong Shiwei, a wealthy family in the capital, has also made a lot of friends, but after inquiring, Zhong Shiwei has almost asked everyone who thinks he can afford to buy a house, and it seems that no one has come to buy this house! All kinds of doubts are pulling Zhong Shiwei, and he also thinks to himself in his heart, he must visit when his new neighbors move in!

More than ten days passed in such curiosity and anxiety, and suddenly one day, Zhong Shiwei was surprised to find that the opposite side seemed to be building more than just a house to live in, as if it was going to open some kind of business, and this style was not small, just looking at the high lintel had already pressed the end of Linglong Pavilion! This is not only a curiosity for Zhong Shiwei, but also a challenge, he seems to have become accustomed to the pleasure of this whole street belonging to him alone, and suddenly such a person is still covering opposite him, no matter what kind of business it is, it seems to affect the majesty of Master Zhong.

So, Zhong Shiwei finally couldn't bear to send someone to the opposite house to find out. I don't know if the other side is too arrogant or if the subordinate he sent is too classless, in short, the subordinate didn't ask a word, and he also made a stomach of complaints, complaining about how the other side didn't give face.

Now Zhong Shiwei is on fire, and he decided to go out in person! Since the subordinate can't do it, then he is the master! It's a pity, just like he didn't treat the old owner of this house very well in the past, the new customers here don't seem to treat him very much! It's not that there are no people who see it, but the workers here are like deaf and dumb people, and they don't even say a word when they see Zhong Shiwei! I just shook my head when I asked anything, but no one said a word!

If they were really cage dumb, it wouldn't matter, but unfortunately, Zhong Shiwei could clearly hear the conversation between them, as if he had become really deaf and dumb when he met him!

Zhong Shiwei's curiosity and faint uneasiness sprouted in his heart, and they were still groundless, but it was such random suspicion that made people even more maddening! The more suspicious he is, the more suspicious Zhong Shiwei will find. He felt that the owner on the other side must be a person who was either rich or noble, and even if he was expensive, he must be a rich nobleman, and not to mention how good the food of the workers here was, just the scale and speed of the construction and the degree of renovation, there was no sign of the old mansion. The high walls on both sides of the door, the brand-new blue bricks and gray tiles on the wall, and the glazed decoration, all of them are rare in the capital!

Even if Zhong Shiwei doesn't admire others very much, with the strength he sees in front of him, it must not be underestimated. Seeing that his Linglong Pavilion has become a short foil, not to mention, there have been few merchants on this street for more than ten years, and his Zhong Shiwei's Linglong Pavilion is definitely the most palatial. Maybe it's to avoid suspicion or maybe it's humility, in short, for so many years, there are almost no new businesses opened on this street, and even if there are either far away from Linglong Pavilion or definitely a grade lower than Linglong Pavilion. Like such a blatant transcendence, the opposite side of the house that doesn't know who the owner is is definitely the first one!

A month passed in a panic, and the houses opposite sprung up in front of Zhong Shiwei's eyes. Early in the morning, the sky was clear, the sultry air was mixed with a rare cool breeze, and the ribbon-like white clouds dotted the blue sky, which was destined to be a rare good weather.

Zhong Shiwei sat with his eyes closed in his Linglong Pavilion, which is a pity, he is not recuperating but worrying. There are a lot of things to worry about, and it seems that there are a lot of them lately. The house opposite doesn't know who the owner is, and there are new problems in their own business. In fact, it has not been a day or two since this problem appeared, in the past, it was only a slight whisper among the palace daughters in the palace, and then what kind of talent was Zhaoyi or something, and now even Zhong Shiwei has used all his resources to develop the signature rouge There is also a problem, and the reaction problem is still the noble concubine Niangniang, whose status is second only to the queen!

This matter is not trivial, when the dissatisfied opinions came out of the palace, Zhong Shiwei was almost scared into a cold sweat. The rouge of Linglong Pavilion is his signature and his life, he can even sacrifice his own life, and he can't make Linglong Pavilion's brand appear any flaws! Especially in the palace, it is not only a way to make money, but also related to his life.

Zhong Shiwei naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he asked someone to get a relationship and found out, it turned out that the nobleman's opinion was a rejuvenating rouge cream developed by Zhong Shiwei earlier, as the name suggests, it is used to maintain eternal youth. Although among ordinary people, women do not have such high requirements for their faces, but in the palace it is different. There are thousands of women in the harem, and there are countless young girls who enter the harem every year. The young concubines paid special attention to their faces, not to mention those who were old and decrepit.

Although their youth is gone, they still don't believe in evil and use all kinds of rouge to get rid of the ravages of time. Zhong Shiwei also knows the mystery of this, so he has put a lot of effort into the development of this kind of rouge. Of course, it can also be said that the hard work pays off, and the reputation of his things in the palace in the past two years has been quite good.

Maybe it's because the earlier objects are all old now, or maybe they have always used the same brand to confront each other, in short, the recent problems have appeared frequently, even if Zhong Shiwei uses the newly developed things to remedy it, but who can remedy it in the footsteps of the old man. Seeing that there were light wrinkles on the concubine's face, and there was a slight sagging of the tight skin, they all attributed it to Zhong Shiwei's things being not easy to use.

Although Zhong Shiwei felt that he was wronged, he knew the truth that explanation is equal to futility and justification is equal to death, so he can only make all kinds of unrealistic promises, looking forward to the day when the aging concubine can recognise reality.

This is not last night, another edict scolding him flowed out of the palace, this is already the fifth edict that Zhong Shiwei has received, if he can't think of any more way, his golden job bowl will not be guaranteed! Even if you can't think of a way, you have to think of a rhetoric, and you must pass this level no matter how you say it.
