Chapter 74 Repayment by Installments
The second uncle saw that Shen Li was very good-looking, a promising young man, and a nephew of the deceased, so he and Xiyan should have been an excellent marriage, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He didn't have the face to see the Su family again, so Xiyan's wedding deliberately went out to buy, who knew that Xiyan suffered so much grievance.
The second uncle snorted, "What are you doing here?" Don't you think we're embarrassed enough? ”
"Are you the second uncle of the Yan family?" Shen Li bowed solemnly.
"It doesn't have to be like this, Yan can't afford it." The second uncle lowered his head and continued to sort out the accounts, no longer bothering him.
When Shen Li came, he was ready to put a hot face on a cold ass, which was also what he deserved. He stood in the store awkwardly for a long time, his face gradually turned red and white, and he once again mustered up the courage to step forward.
He took out a bag of silver taels from his bosom and offered it with both hands.
The second uncle didn't know what to do, and he didn't reach out to pick it up. There happened to be a guest who had picked something good to check out, so he took the opportunity to greet the customer.
Shen Li's hand was embarrassed to hold the bag of silver taels, refusing to put it down, and his expression was still the stubborn donkey that he used to be stubborn to the end.
The second uncle sent the guest away, and when he saw that he was still holding it, his heart softened a little, and he said, "Say, what are you doing here?" ”
Only then did Shen Li gently put the silver taels in his hand on the counter in front of the second uncle: "Shen owes Miss Yan eight hundred taels of silver for some reason, here is fifty taels, I know there is still a lot of difference, pay these first, and come back when I earn it." ”
"Aren't you the son of the Zhongshu Mansion, and you can't get eight hundred taels?" The second uncle was also the son of an official eunuch, and the son-in-law of this mansion couldn't get eight hundred taels, who would believe it.
Shen Li felt even more embarrassed when he heard this, he lowered his head and said shyly: "Don't dare to deceive the second uncle, I was kicked out of the Shen Mansion by my father after I refused to marry in public that day, and I have to rely on my hands to earn all my life." ”
The second uncle said in his heart: "Count you Lao Tzu still have a little attitude." But thinking about Shen Li, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old noble son, who is not in the official career, how to make a living, I can't help but have some doubts: "You earned these fifty taels?" ”
"Exactly."
"How do you make a living?" The second uncle said.
Speaking of this method of making a living, Shen Li did not hide it, but it was more natural than the shame he had just now.
"Shen has no strengths, and he knows a little bit about the five elements gossip and feng shui metaphysics, and he can barely survive by looking at feng shui. It's just that most people in the world talk about seniority, so I don't have much business, so I can only repay Miss Yan's debt in installments. ”
Speaking of which, the second uncle immediately came to the spirit, and this metaphysics is also what he loves. He seemed to have forgotten that he was secretly determined to take a bad breath for Xiyan, and asked with great interest, "Are you proficient in shooting?" ”
The so-called shooting is when one person covers a common object with a vessel such as a basin, bowl, cup, etc., and the other person uses subtle knowledge to determine what the object is. This was a very fashionable way for Wu Guogui's son to play more than ten years ago, but now it is a little outdated.
Shen Li shook his head and said, "I've seen a few masters play, but Shen hasn't tried it himself." ”
The second uncle suddenly became interested, pulled Shen Li and said, "Come on, come on, I'll teach you, it's very simple." ”
This attitude changed too quickly, right? Shen Li didn't react at all.
Yan Lang is an idiot in the world, obsessed with weapons, obsessed with metaphysics. One mind can only think about one thing, and there is no possibility of half-heartedness. At this moment, he only had ejaculation in his heart, and he had already forgotten about Shen Li's refusal to marry and the guests in the store.
Therefore, the Buddha is really a person who knows people and makes good use of them, so he directly skipped Yan Lang and handed over the store to Xi Yan to take care of, and let him just be a guy who does things according to orders.
