039 Revealing the old bottom
The woman beside Mrs. Deng couldn't help but be surprised.
What is the reason for retiring with such fanfare?
Zhang Luan naturally has his own plans.
"Second Master Zhang, what do you mean?" Mrs. Deng asked with a frown.
Zhang Luan: "Of course, according to Mrs. Deng's wishes, I came to withdraw from my family." ”
Is there such a retreat?
Mrs. Tang was annoyed by the drumbeats of the lion dancers.
"Who allowed you to disturb the official mansion here!" There were many people, and she was angry and inconvenient to vent to Zhang Luan, so she reprimanded the lion dancer.
Seeing her, she set up the shelf of the official's wife, and the onlookers couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Luan raised his hand to signal the lion dance team to stop temporarily.
"Everyone, take a rest, and when Zhang steps down from this family business, let's celebrate again!"
Mrs. Deng was furious when she heard this.
At this time, more and more people came to hear the news, and they all stretched their necks and waited to see the excitement.
"Returning relatives is a private matter, and Second Master Zhang, please follow me into the house to discuss in detail." Mrs. Deng said patiently to Zhang Luan.
"Why bother, I came in a hurry on this trip, and I didn't bring a notary, just let everyone present help to testify!" Zhang Luan's voice was loud and powerful to everyone's ears.
Many good deeds have chimed in.
Mrs. Deng's face became more and more ugly.
The woman next to her persuaded in a low voice: "His family is a daughter, your family is a son, and besides, you have never done anything wrong, he is not afraid of being embarrassed, what are you afraid of?" ”
"If you say that, I'm afraid he will talk nonsense......" Mrs. Deng said humbly.
"This is in front of your own house, are you afraid that he will not be able to spread rumors? How many people believe it? ”
Mrs. Deng listened with mixed feelings.
Are you afraid that what he says is the truth?
"Second Master Zhang, I am also thinking about the reputation of the girl in your mansion." She pretended to be kind and reminded, but there was a strong threat in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Luan.
She didn't believe that Zhang Luan would really bet on her daughter's reputation to make her unhappy.
The fact is that Zhang Luan didn't pay attention to her warning at all.
"I'm here for the little girl's reputation!" Zhang Luan said to everyone: "It's not a secret, the little girl suffered some minor injuries some time ago and is recuperating at home, and the Deng family took this opportunity to come to the door to propose to withdraw from the family, and I have no objection to this - but the Deng family deceived people too much, and the lion opened his mouth to ask us to pay five thousand taels before we were willing to withdraw according to the rules, and we refused to agree, and this Mrs. Deng family threatened each other with the reputation of a little girl!" How can there be such a truth in this world! ”
Mrs. Deng's pupils tightened when she heard this!
Zhang Meishou's leg disease should have been her way to win, how could Zhang Luan say it himself?
He said everything, so what did she say?
Is he crazy!
"Is that true?"
"Isn't this blackmail......" There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Mrs. Deng.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Deng glared at Zhang Luan, and said in a sharp voice: "I was concerned about your daughter's reputation and didn't want to mention this matter, but you were dissatisfied with the withdrawal of relatives and took this opportunity to bite back, it's really too much!" …… What's in it for you? ”
Zhang Luan sneered.
"My Zhang family doesn't do things for the sake of benefit, just to tell the truth and ask for a good time!"
Mrs. Deng clenched her palms and was about to speak, but the woman next to her grabbed her and said, "What five thousand taels?" Isn't that the little order that the Deng family gave you at the beginning? If you want to return your relatives, you should return it, why did you come here, but you were said to have taken the opportunity to blackmail? ”
"......" Mrs. Deng's scalp was numb for a while, and she said "It's over"!
Who would have thought that a nonsense she had just casually said about putting gold on her face would be taken out so quickly?
Zhang Luan seemed to have heard a big joke.
"Five thousand taels of small determination? How come I've never seen one? He asked everyone: "It's not that I, Zhang, speak badly, dare to ask the neighbors who live in this dry fish alley, what was the situation in the family before Lord Deng became an official?" Where did they get the five thousand taels? ”
Immediately, someone stood up and laughed: "If they had 5,000 taels, how could they have delayed even the money for renting the house in the first place?" ”
His ancestors have lived in this alley for generations, and he knows the roots of the Deng family very well.
"No, at that time, Mrs. Deng often went to my house to borrow salt and rice...... Later, when he made a fortune, he ignored people! A fat woman squinted at Mrs. Deng and said.
The last thing Mrs. Deng wanted to be mentioned was what happened to her when she was poor, and in her eyes, those things were extremely disgraceful.
"Everyone's listening, right?" Zhang Luan said with a smile: "And at the beginning, it was clearly written on the book-two hundred taels of silver!" Black and white! ”
The two hundred taels of silver back then were all the wealth of the Deng family, but Mrs. Deng was distressed, if it weren't for the fear that the Song family would be dissatisfied, she would not even be willing to take out twenty taels.
Over there, Zhang Qiuchi had already taken out the book that had been prepared earlier and passed it on to the literate person next to him.
"It's two hundred taels, it's clearly written......"
"Two hundred taels for five thousand taels, you really dare to ask for it!"
"Tsk, no wonder the Zhang family can't bear it...... Insatiable and deserves to be revealed! ”
"If you don't know a little bit, maybe it's over...... After all, no one wants to talk about family affairs, do they? ”
Everyone regarded Zhang Luan's approach as unbearable, and would rather break the jade than destroy it.
Mrs. Deng's face was flushed when she was seen by everyone's sarcastic or contemptuous eyes, and she anxiously ordered the servants beside her: "Go and ask the master to come back!" ”
She herself is not a person who is in danger, and at this time, she was so panicked in the face of Zhang Luan, who was obviously fully prepared.
"This is two hundred taels of silver tickets, a lot of money, please Mrs. Deng take it!"
Zhang Luan took out the silver ticket, raised his hand and handed it in her direction.
How can Mrs. Deng have the face to let people pick it up?
Isn't it the same as slapping yourself in the face?
In the teahouse not far away, Wang Shouren and others poked their heads out of the window and listened to the movement over there with their ears.
But there are too many onlookers, it is already three layers inside and three layers outside, and the entire Qianyu Hutong is blocked and impassable, where can they still hear specific movements.
But you don't have to listen to it, and you can roughly understand it when you look at it.
Zhang Meishou watched his father's hand holding the silver ticket impatiently raise it high, and the two silver tickets fell on the stone steps in front of the Deng family.
Mrs. Deng's heart fluttered suddenly.
She really loves money like her life, and it is a very cruel thing for her to watch the silver ticket fall to the ground, but not to pick it up.
She was hoping that a servant with eyes would take the initiative to pick it up for her, and she would definitely reward him with two pennies when she turned around.
But no one moved.
Being looked upon by so many people, the servant is not a human being? Servants need face, too!
In the early morning, when the wind blew, the two silver tickets were lifted into a corner, and soon they were blown up by the wind and rolled up to the feet of everyone......
Mrs. Deng was terrified!
