Chapter 20: Persuasion

After the boy finished speaking, he beckoned, and someone brought toiletries.

The first time I went to the house of a rich man, the first time I was served and washed; The first time I found out that in the rich man's house, even the gong bucket was filled with a faint agarwood fragrance. Zhou Jingxuan only felt that it was extremely fresh.

After he finally finished washing, the kid hurriedly took him and Shi Zhongzhu to the front hall.

Xia Canbal wore a jade crown, a green forged embroidered shirt, and various ornaments such as longevity locks and talismans hung on his body, but he pulled a pair of soft-bottomed clogs.

is waiting in the front hall, playing with a small jade knife with a whole body of ink and purple.

Shi Zhongzhu was afraid that Zhou Jingxuan would regret it, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Canguang: "Young Master Xia, my son-in-law suddenly remembered: he still has a distant relative to take refuge in. So we will resign to Mr. Xia now, and thank Mr. Xia for his kindness yesterday. ”

"Isn't it good that this son has everything here?" Xia Canguang lowered his face, his brows twisted into knots.

"Good is good! But we can't keep bothering Brother Xia for no reason, right? ”

Xia Canguang brandished the small jade knife and said indifferently: "What is this?" My family is so big, are you afraid of two more pairs of chopsticks? If you are embarrassed, you will be an entourage to my son, and in the future, you will follow my son to eat and drink spicy food, okay? ”

A kid who doesn't dry up and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and still wants to call his son?

Zhou Jingxuan's innate arrogance was aroused again, saying that he was still hesitant before, but at this time, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

He arched his hand and said: "Thank you Brother Xia for your kindness, but now it is not blessed, and the grace of today's acceptance will be returned another day!" With that, he turned and prepared to go out.

"If you want to leave, you are not in a hurry, at this time, isn't it good to leave after breakfast?" Xia Canguang was unhappy to keep it.

Since people are so enthusiastic, it's not good to leave right away, Zhou Jingxuan looked at Shi Zhongzhu, and saw Shi Zhongzhu nodding lightly.

Only then did he turn to Xia Canguang: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”

The meal was quickly served, and it was particularly sumptuous, many of which were game that Zhou Jingxuan could not name, all of which were served in fine porcelain plates carved with red carp playing in the water, and the chopsticks were ivory inlaid with gold and jade chopsticks.

………

Xia Canguang took out his best daughter again, and Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly stood up to stop it: "My son-in-law is not good at drinking, I think this wine will be free, right?" ”

As soon as he saw the wine, Zhou Jingxuan's eyes straightened: the first time he drank alcohol, and the only time he drank, it was Master Pu Chang who pampered him to drink when he was slightly drunk that day!

After the initial spiciness, when Zhou Jingxuan finally tasted the fragrance and sweetness of the wine, the master said that he would not let him drink it on the grounds that he was growing his body!

Zhou Jingxuan was staring at the wine here and was happy, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Shi Zhongzhu winking at him, so he had to say that he didn't know how to drink.

When Xia Canguang heard this, he didn't force it, but just ordered to eat.

At the dinner table, Xia Canguang bragged vigorously about the benefits of following him.

Zhou Jingxuan only cared about eating and ignored him.

However, Shi Zhongzhu was not good at snubbing people, so he echoed a few times.

After the meal, Xia Canguang asked the housekeeper to take ten taels of silver and gave it to Zhou Jingxuan: "This bit of silver should be regarded as a little heart for this son and you to have a relationship, if it is not enough, you can come to this son at any time, and this son is waiting for the two of you at any time." ”

He patted Shi Zhongzhu on the shoulder again: "Actually, my son has always been very optimistic about you, you are better than anyone under me." ”

"Under Xie Xia, Gongzi is in love!" Shi Zhongzhu stared at the hand on his shoulder, and the disgust in his eyes flashed.

Zhou Jingxuan took the housekeeper's silver and handed it to Shi Zhongzhu: "Thank you, Xia...... Childe's kindness! ”

Shi Zhongzhu turned it back to the housekeeper: "Young Master Xia, we don't lack silver now." ”

He told Zhou Jingxuan: "Childe, Zhongzhu has never told you that when Mrs. left that day, she put a lot of silver here in Zhongzhu. Zhongzhu was afraid that you would spend it all at once, so he never told you. ”

"Really?" Zhou Jingxuan's eyes lit up: This kid always calls me poor, it turns out to be pretending!

When Xia Canguang heard this, he had to take back the silver.

After leaving the summer mansion and not walking far, Zhou Jingxuan suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to Shi Zhongzhu: "Where's the silver?" Take it out! ”

Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly put down his burden, took out a money bag from his sleeve robe, and handed it to Zhou Jingxuan: "Here, this is the two taels of silver that Qin Xiyu gave yesterday, all of which are here." ”

Zhou Jingxuan looked at the money bag and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say at Xia Canguang just now that my mother has a sum of money from you?" What about the silver? ”

Shi Zhongzhu suddenly realized: "You mean this?" That's where I lied to him! In fact, we have already used up the silver given by Madame! If we had any silver, we wouldn't have had to bother yesterday! ”

Some of the sabotage you have done everywhere doesn't end up with money, and people can let you go so easily? Shi Zhongzhu was extremely helpless.

"You're a liar!" Zhou Jingxuan kicked a stone on the side of the road, and the innocent stone flew up, hit the wall, and fell heavily to the ground.

I saw Shi Zhongzhu at Xia Canguang just now, and he was serious, but now no matter what he says, Zhou Jingxuan won't believe it!

Shi Zhongzhu picked up his burden again and explained seriously: "Childe, I'm afraid that you will receive Xia Canguang's silver today, and he will use this to blackmail us in the future, so it will be troublesome!" ”

Zhou Jingxuan glared at Shi Zhongzhu with disdain, and then walked forward resentfully.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked Shi Zhongzhu: "Then why did you take Qin Xiyu's silver yesterday?" ”

Shi Zhongzhu was not annoyed, but patiently explained: "Xia Canguang is a merchant family, although a merchant values love and righteousness, he will not do unprofitable business.

But seeing that Xia Canguang is his son when he opens and closes his mouth, it can be seen that he has no sincerity at all, and treats us as friends, but just wants to use us as tools. If you take his money, if something happens in the future, it will be difficult to get out!

And although Yun Haoyu is arrogant, judging from our intersection in the past few years, he is a bright and upright person who dares to speak up. It is worthy of Childe to have a deep friendship with him. ”

Zhou Jingxuan listened to what he said, and when he thought to himself, half of his anger disappeared unconsciously.

Shi Zhongzhu saw that Gongzi's face softened a little, and discussed with him one by one: "Why don't we find a place to live first, and then I will go out and find something to do, so as to support our master and servant." ”

"It's good!"

Facing the reality, Zhou Jingxuan felt that now it can only be, one step at a time.

"I guess: I must have been an illegitimate child, and my father was still a rich man. My mother was under pressure to take me home, nor could she return it to my father; So I had to be placed in foster care in the college. ”
