Chapter 17: Quarrelling
Zhu Shujin went back to the room, where he was fiddling with the iris in the porcelain vase. Hearing a sound of footsteps outside, he said in his heart that the efficiency of the subordinates in this courtyard was quite high, and he invited his master over so quickly.
The frightening wind stepped forward, knocked twice, and called,
"Miss Zhu is awake? My master is here. ”
Zhu Shujin hurriedly opened the door and let the two in. As soon as Jiang Congao entered the room, he stood coldly, just like the lonely posture of the drunken Yuelou when he leaned on the railing to drink.
"I heard that Miss Zhu came to Jiang and said that she had something important to discuss?"
Jiang Congao hadn't spoken to her for a long time, and this extremely polite words made Zhu Shujin a little uncomfortable. Zhu Shujin felt a trace of strangeness in his heart, and frowned almost inaudibly.
"Well, it's important."
"Miss Zhu can trust Jiang, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Jiang Gongzi, you can trust it, you can't believe it, what's the difference?"
A few days ago, he also said that he was a brother and sister with deep affection, and this would be an estranged young lady, Zhu Shujin heard it harshly, and his heart was irritable, so he hated and said,
"Jiang Gongzi brought Shujin to an unfamiliar place in life, Shujin is a weak woman, and what to do is not only based on Jiang Gongzi's mood."
"Are you blaming me for bringing you here?" Jiang Congao was also a little annoyed when he heard this accusation, "You fainted for no reason that night, if I hadn't brought you back to recuperate, I would have allowed you to accuse me with full momentum here." ”
The frightening wind followed Jiang Congao into the door and stood aside. Listening to his angry words, I couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The family is cautious in his words, not to mention that Er Shao has always been alone and self-reliant, and he is always indifferent to ordinary people, even in the Jiang family, it is very rare to see Er Shao arguing with others.
This is the second young man of his family who is arguing with the girl's family... It's clearly a child with an unopened mind!
"What for no reason! I fell from a great height and nearly lost my life, and if it weren't for you, how could I relive my nightmares and faint from fright! ”
In the dark room, Zhu Shujin mentioned that he fell from a tree and lost his memory. But this is a statement that even an eight-year-old child won't believe, Jiang Congao naturally didn't take it seriously. But she couldn't pretend to be terrified that day.
"So... You really can't remember the past? ”
Zhu Shujin told the reason for that day, just to make this person feel guilty, and in the future, he would eat and drink well, and serve him in the north and south. But who knew that this person's focus changed very quickly, and all her righteous words were blocked in her throat, and she could only reply in a sneering manner.
"I don't remember."
Jiang Cong Ao lowered his eyelids, stood expressionless for a moment, as if his mouth was dry, sat down at the table, took a sip of tea, and then said softly,
"That day, I asked the doctor to check your pulse, and the doctor said that you are fine, and you will be fine for a few days."
As soon as Jiang Congao sat down, the confrontation in the room that was about to come disappeared in an instant. The other party softened his posture, wishing Shujin to be a reasonable literati, and it was not good to provoke and make trouble again.
"I'm so good, it's just that Zhenri is in this house, and there is no one to talk to, so it's very boring."
"It's me who is negligent," Jiang Congao listened to this overt and secret complaint, knew that he was at a loss, muttered for a moment, and called, "Shocking wind, come, settle the account to the distinguished guest." ”
"Yes, Ershao." The frightening wind stepped forward, and the hand that usually made the sword took out an ebony abacus out of nowhere, and fiddled with the beads with a click, while replying,
"Miss Zhu, the iris plant was bought by the Jiang family from the barbarian merchant three years ago, it cost fifty taels of silver at that time, and the price has risen gratifying in the past three years, it is almost two hundred taels of silver, and you fold off three plants, a total of six hundred taels of silver. Chijia, oh, it's the red fish you let the cook stew, it cost a hundred taels when the second boy bought it a few hundred taels ago, but that kind of red fish is not easy to survive, and the second young man took a lot of effort to feed it up, and it is roughly estimated that it is worth five hundred taels of silver, adding up to a total of 11,000 silver. If Lan Lin's teeth want to be continued, the wood-scented dragon snake grass of Congshan is indispensable, this grass grows in the deep mountains, once in ten years, and it is difficult to find gold. ”
Jiang Congao saw that the fire was almost over, and added a sentence leisurely,
"I can send someone to inquire around, but for this account, do you plan to give cash or an IOU?"
"Mother, you iris is afraid of pouring elixir and jade liquid, and you fish are afraid of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas!"
I wish Shujin is completely blown up, a few broken flowers, a dead fish, and the price is 10,000 taels of silver! The hearts of black businessmen are not so black!
"Are you going to pay off?"
Jiang Cong looked up at her with a mocking look, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and a smile that was not obvious. Zhu Shujin angrily slapped the table and shouted,
"You're a lion!"
"Huh?"
"The lion... Senior brother," Zhu Shujin sat down next to Jiang Congao, took the teapot on the side, filled him with tea, and said sincerely, "Brothers and sisters, you will have a share of money." ”
"You junior sister," Jiang Congao snorted coldly, "I can't recognize it." ”
A dignified seven-foot man, how can he be so childish!
Zhu Shujin rushed behind Jiang Congao, pinched his shoulders, beat his back, and did his best to do what he could.
"Senior brother, dissipate your anger. Is it mine that day, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about my junior sister. ”
Suddenly, there was a small chuckle in the room.
Originally, Zhu Shujin also felt quite embarrassed, but at this time he was even more sensitive, and immediately straightened his back, pinched his waist and shouted menacingly,
"Who! Who's laughing at me! ”
"It's so unbelievable, Storm, you get out."
“… Yes, two less. ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he pushed the door out in response to the sound and closed the door for the two of them.
"Frightened, is Er Shao still angry?"
The chief manager of Chai was far away, and when he saw the frightened wind coming out of the room, he hurriedly greeted him and asked. When the second young man came, he was carrying the wind and rain, and it seemed that he was going to come to ask for the guilt, so the old man pinched the sweat for the guests, and he couldn't let go and waited outside.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chai, the second young man is in a good mood and is talking to Miss Zhu."
When Shocking Wind was talking in a low voice with the chief chai manager and comforting the kind-hearted old man, there was a cry of surprise in the house.
"It's really Lan Lin who bit it off by himself!"
Then there was a sneer, mocking male voice said mercilessly,
"That carved cage is made of thousand-year-old black iron, the sharp blade is constantly cutting, and the real fire can't be melted, Lan Lin was trapped in this cage when he was young, if he hadn't received the master's dull instructions, how could he want to break out of the cage with the pain of broken teeth?"
Then he muttered, and couldn't hear it clearly, but after a while, a bright female voice came again,
"Senior brother, is this strength appropriate?"
“… Move a little more to the left, push harder, and don't stop. ”
The frightening wind saw that the head of Chai had round eyes, his mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it, as the most powerful subordinate of the second young man, his face was a little confused.
"It's... Is this "our wise and martial second youth?"
After the manager finished speaking, the frightening wind patted him on the shoulder very understandingly, and said,
"Mr. Chai, let's go farther."
