Chapter 180: Cause and Effect (Part II)
This time, the Zhang family's tea shop is really going to sell. There was still some breath of air before, barely holding on to it. After such a incident, even the old customers of many years no longer came to the door. The guys in the store walked and scattered, and even took some belongings with them before leaving, which made matters worse.
After learning of this, Zhan Shaofeng and Zhilan discussed and quietly bought the tea shop at a high price. This cost is enough for the Zhang family to buy another small house elsewhere to support the family. Although this matter was concealed from Zhan Wenbing, there were always some people below who knew about it.
"It's strange, when did the young master and the young lady become so kind?" Drawing Heart asked.
"Ahem, what's so strange about that." The thrush folded a few osmanthus flowers and inserted them in the bottle, and replied nonchalantly while fiddling with them. Every day at this time of day, Zhilan always has to take a nap, and her two sisters often have nothing to do, so they chat with flowers and plants in the courtyard to relieve boredom.
"I think the two of them are often the kind of people who have revenge. What's that word called? Huaxin thought hard for a long time, and finally said, "Mmmmmmmm Surely there will be retribution. β
The thrush chuckled and said, "you!" How can anyone say that about their own master? Besides, our family and the Zhang family have never had any enmity. β
"Not yet! The lord has tied them up! If it weren't for the young master who rescued the people, maybe what would happen! β
"Then think about it, why did they tie up our master? Why don't you tie up other family members? The thrush arranged the flowers, looked at them with satisfaction, put the vase on the ground beside him, turned his head and said to his sister seriously: "So why is the master the master, because people think further." β
"How far?" Painted heart grinned and came over.
"When is the time for retribution! How far do you say? Oops! Young master, are you back? The two sisters hurriedly got up. I don't know when, Zhan Shaofeng has appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"What is Lan'er doing?" Zhan Shaofeng's expression was as usual.
"The young lady is taking a nap, why don't you go in and tell her to get up?" Huaxin said very earnestly. She was very afraid that what she had just said would be retribution, so she told her master.
"No need." Zhan Shaofeng stretched out his hand to stop it, and then said to the two: "The store has sent some new autumn tea, and I will let people put it in the courtyard first." After a while, Lan'er woke up and made some for her. β
"Okay. Don't you rest? Thrush asked.
"Nope." Zhan Shaofeng waved his hand, asked the two guys to bring in a basket of tea, and left again. Huaxin poked his head at the door for a while, and then came back and said, "There is also a basket of tea, which should be sent to the master." It seems that their father and son are going to be reconciled. β
The thrush poked her head and laughed and scolded, "I think if you continue like this, you will grow into a tongue woman!" I'd better hurry up and beg the young lady to marry you, so as not to trouble me. β
"Sister!" The two of them laughed again.
In fact, the painting heart still has some eyesight, and her master and young master are indeed a little stiff. Outsiders can't see it, but they think that the old man is frightened and unhappy, and he doesn't know the reason. Zhan Shaofeng knew that what he said that day had collided with his father, but he was unwilling to back down. Zhan Wenbing also knew that he was at a loss, but as an elder, he couldn't let go of his body. So the stubborn father and son were stuck there, only suffering Zhilan in the middle, and they were in a dilemma.
But Pepsi filial piety comes first, and Zhan Shaofeng still understands this truth no matter how stubborn he is. After thinking about it, he decided to take it first so that his father could have a step down, so he went to visit his father by sending tea, and by the way, he reported that he had bought Zhang's tea shop.
Before he could enter the hospital, he heard someone talking in the room.
"Well, if I had known it was because of this, I would have stopped you." It sounded like the voice of Dr. Qing. Zhan Shaofeng slowly stopped, and then motioned to the two guys behind him who were carrying the tea basket to stop.
"You go back first, and I'll send it in myself later." He whispered.
The two of them were also very discerning, and knew that there was something for them to avoid, so they put down their things and left.
Zhan Shaofeng continued to listen to the movement inside.
I only heard the doctor sigh and say, "Alas, I lost my words after drinking! This shouldn't have been said in the first place, but now it's hurting you. β
"Can't say that. I didn't look down on that old wealth in the first place, and I was greedy for money and lustful with bad scheming, which hurt many people! But he has never had anything to do with me, and it is difficult to clean him up. But it's different now! He's your enemy, and that's my adversary. Now that I know about this, I should avenge you! β
"What is there to report, it is all decades of rotten sesame seeds."
"Oh no...... I'll have to talk about you! He has seized your fiancΓ©e and your family's ancestral home, isn't this hatred big enough?! You're repaying your grievances with virtue! This is called detour, not good! It is said that people are good and are bullied, how good are you! Eh, I'm strange, to say that you're not a bully, how can you be so tolerant in this matter? Zhan Wenbing was obviously very excited.
Hearing this, Zhan Shaofeng finally understood that what his father did was to stand up for his friend. The reason why he refused to tell them was also to protect Dr. Qing's reputation.
"It's not tolerance, I'm just ...... Look away. What haven't you seen in the wind and rain over the years? Sometimes I wonder that the hatred that I had decades ago is not hated now. Now that I think about it, maybe I have seen too many unjust things in this world, but when I look at myself, people are calm. β
Both were silent.
After a while, Zhan Wenbing said again: "That house, I have redeemed it for you, just go back and have a look when you want." After all, it's your Qing family's ancestral home, and it's better to redeem it. β
"No, no. Brother, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that I'm alone now, and it's useless to have such a big house. You'd better keep it for yourself. Doctor Qing said very firmly.
"You...... Alas! β
Zhan Shaofeng stood quietly outside the courtyard wall for a while, and then quietly left.
When Zhilan woke up, she found that the house was empty, and she knew that the two girls must be playing in the courtyard. She didn't call anyone, she quietly got up and walked to the door.
At this time, I saw that the thrush and the painting heart were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, I don't know what they were talking about, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed so much that their bodies shook and trembled, and it seemed that they were trying their best not to laugh.
"What are you talking about so happy?" Zhilan walked out the door with a smile.
The first one couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing, "You can count it!" If I hold it for a while, I'm going to hold back my internal injuries! β
Thrush hurriedly got up to give up her seat for Zhilan, and said with a smile: "The slaves and maids also heard from other places, and I heard that this matter is about to spread all over Hangzhou City. β
"I'll hear it too."
The thrush beckoned to the painting heart and said, "Xin'er, you come to tell the young lady, and I'll make tea." Then he said to Zhilan: "When you were sleeping, the young master brought back a basket of tea leaves, saying that he would let you taste it." β
"Well, let's go." Zhilan nodded, and looked at Huaxin with interest, waiting for her to speak.
"It was the day before yesterday. That day, the eldest man ascended to the court, interrogated the people of the Zhang family, and the conscienceless Liu Dascar...... "I told Zhilan what happened after leaving the hall that day.
"Later, the people of the Changlong Dart Bureau were busy for half the day and couldn't unlock the acupoint. I had no choice but to carry the person back and wait for the self-solution. I heard that when the man was carried away, it was like a clay sculpture in the temple! But he can still speak, scolding all the way...... Oh, I can't be happier just thinking about it! Drawing Heart giggles again as he speaks.
At this time, the thrush brought the brewed tea up, and found that the young lady looked contemplative, but the painting heart was laughing freely, so he hurriedly gave his sister a look.
Huaxin noticed this, and quickly stopped laughing, and asked, "Young lady, but what is wrong with what the slave maid said?" β
"Nope." Zhilan smiled and said, "I'm just thinking, who is that person?" Could it be Gu Songyun? Didn't you also get a point from him? β
It was as if she had choked on something, and her face turned red. "Isn't it?"
The thrush smiled and said, "Shouldn't it?" I heard that my sister was pointed at before, and she couldn't speak, but after half an hour, she solved the acupoint on her own. But the person in the Changlong Dart Bureau was stunned for a day and a night before he could move! β
Zhilan thought for a while and said, "Go and call Feng'er over." They are always together and should know something. β
"I, I'll go!" He stood up and left the courtyard as if he had fled.
Thrush and Zhilan glanced at each other and laughed silently.
The wind was soon over.
"Sister, what's wrong with me?" He seemed to have just finished practicing, his head was covered with sweat, and when he walked in and saw that there was tea on the table, he just picked it up and drank it all.
Zhilan deliberately said with a straight face: "Let me ask you, have you sneaked out recently?" β
"Nope...... I can't practice the trick that Master left me, so how can I have time to go out? "Guanfeng looked innocent.
"It's still loaded. I've heard that the day before yesterday you were competing with people on the street and stopped them. Now they don't want to settle accounts with us. β
Guan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's what you said!" That's not me, how can I have that ability! He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, Master didn't let me say it. But to prove my innocence, I'll betray him once. Sister, that's what he did. β
Although this answer was expected, Zhilan couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't he let you say it?" β
"I don't understand. However, he seems to have come back to the limelight on impulse, and he regretted it afterwards. β
"Really?" A smile appeared on Zhilan's lips. "On the spur of the moment...... That's better. β
