While the three of them were arguing, they could only hear the long-haired old man suddenly shouting loudly.

"His grandmother, what are you all talking about? Didn't you let you live and die, is there such an endless end? It's as if our brother just ate you two alive. Hey, what the hell. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and he also smiled and said. "Yes, little guys, don't be verbose. Isn't it just to send you to the Thousand Households Mansion in exchange for the money from our brothers' wine sales? As for making such a fuss? I can't say, when you enter the Thousand Households Mansion, you still don't want to leave after you get the sweetness? ”

"Du Lao Er, I said you shouldn't talk to the two of them like this. Hurry up and take them to Qianhu Mansion, and let's exchange them for wine. The long-haired old man said impatiently, and then stared at the middle-aged man he called Du Lao Er fiercely before turning around and walking forward.

Du Lao Er was stunned for a moment, and said with a dissatisfied face. "Okay, Boss Niu, let's go to Qianhu Mansion." After that, he shouted forward, and took out a sharp dagger from his arms and aimed at Dong Yanzhi and Chunqiao, like driving disobedient pigs, cattle and sheep, and dragged the two forward.

Chunqiao suddenly screamed, and said indignantly with anger burning like a raging fire. "You, you are really villains and thieves who have been cut by a thousand knives. My young lady was kind enough to take you in last night, and I didn't expect that you would take revenge in the middle of the night. Wicked men and thieves like you, I curse you that you will not die a good death, and you will be cut by a thousand knives and broken into thousands of pieces. ”

The long-haired old man suddenly came up in front of Chunqiao, raised his slap high and wanted to fan it down, and said angrily. "Little guys, you are endless, don't say that you resent our brother for cutting thousands of knives and breaking thousands of corpses, even if the official family wants to force our brother to go to the knife mountain and throw the oil pot, today's matter, you don't want to escape."

Seeing this, Dong Yanzhi hurriedly turned around and stopped her. "Thief, you have to beat people. If you treat us sisters so badly, we will not die as you wish. ”

Du Lao Er was afraid that Boss Niu would really hurt the two of them in anger, so he hurriedly took advantage of it to persuade him. "Big brother, let's not spit out all the fat in our mouths. In this way, don't we have trouble with ourselves? Big brother, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. We can't lose the fat in our mouths, can we? Wouldn't that be a waste of dismantling yourself? ”

The long-haired old man suddenly glanced at Dong Yanzhi and the others, and said with a smile. "Du Lao Er is right, we can't get along with ourselves. If you don't eat the fat that reaches your mouth, you spit it out in vain. ”

After speaking, his eyes rolled and he shouted again. "Second child, let's go, whatever they say, let's ignore them."

"Well, Big Brother is right." Du Lao Er flattered, turned around and waved his hand, and yelled at Dong Yanzhi and the others.

"Let's go, don't be stupid here."

On both sides of the gate of the Thousand Households Mansion in the north of Gulan Town, the guards stand with halberds.

On a horizontal path in front of the gate, a relatively luxurious carriage was parked early in the morning.

On the car sat crookedly, two elderly men and middle-aged men in fresh clothes, their eyes gloomy and greedily staring at the vermilion lacquer red door that was still closed at this time in the Thousand Household Mansion. From time to time, there seemed to be the sound of a woman struggling and rolling desperately in the carriage, hoarse and angry.

When the sunlight reflected the huge plaque of the Thousand Households, the closed door of the Thousand Households Mansion suddenly opened from the side. Three old men, who seemed to be in charge of guarding the gate, stepped out of it with buckets and brooms, and were busy sprinkling water and sweeping the floor one after the other.

Seeing this, the two men in the carriage immediately looked at each other. The old man nodded, and saw the middle-aged man jump out of the carriage and walk towards the three men.

Walking up to one of the elders who was standing there directing the sprinkling, the middle-aged man bowed his hand. "Good morning, old man. The younger brother Ma asked the elder brother to notify Steward Zhang of Qianhu Mansion on his behalf, saying that Du had something important to visit, so he must ask Steward Zhang to move to see him. After speaking, he bowed deeply before standing in the middle.

The old man's eyes were stunned, and he glanced at the middle-aged man in a daze, and said mockingly. "Boy, just because you also want to see Steward Zhang of Qianhu Mansion? Dream on, I don't have time to talk to you? ”

The middle-aged man was also taken aback when he saw the old man's disrespectful remarks to him, but the angry face of the begging made him hold back the anger in his heart. I saw that the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head and glared at the old man and said gloomily.

"This old brother, you can underestimate the little brother, but you can't underestimate the big things that Steward Zhang explained to the little brother. If this matter is put on hold by you, I am afraid that if Steward Zhang inquires about it in the future, you will not be able to call it and leave. ”

When the old man heard the tone of the middle-aged man's words, he suddenly shook his sleeves and said angrily. "You're threatening me? You don't look at who you are either? All right? ”

"Don't dare, my little brother has the guts. It's just a matter of Steward Zhang, or I hope that the old brother will be tolerant and tolerant. The middle-aged man said humbly, almost kneeling down to call his father.

The old man glanced at the middle-aged man angrily again, as if he had found the next step, and immediately snorted coldly. "You don't have the ability, but since it's Steward Zhang's account, I'll help you report it." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to an old man on the side. "Changfu, you go to Tongrin to check Steward Zhang, and say that there is someone at the front door who has something important to discuss, so you must meet him."

The old man known as 'Changfu' immediately threw away the broom in his hand, complimented the old man, and hurried to the house.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, the old man slowly walked out with a man in his fifties who looked like a housekeeper. The middle-aged man outside the door saw it from a distance, and immediately stepped forward and said.

"Steward Zhang, you're here, my little brother is waiting in a panic. The gate of your thousand households is just not easy to enter, and you have to turn again and again to beat your old man, it's really troublesome, waiting for the door to be deep. ”

Steward Zhang, who walked out slowly, also bowed back and said, "Hey, it's really ashamed to let Brother Du be equal here." However, Qianhu Mansion has the rules of Qianhu Mansion, and I can't disobey it, brother, and I ask Brother Du to forgive me. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly interrupted, "Brother Zhang is polite, if it weren't for the things you explained, how would the junior brother dare to disturb the big housekeeper of your Thousand Households Mansion." Didn't I come to you because I was forced by your Shindai business? ”

"Ha, ha, easy to say, easy to say." Steward Zhang hurriedly said, and with a flick of his eyes, he unravel this embarrassing scene.

Suddenly, he puffed up his natural thief eyes, and looked left and right, back and forth, and saw that no one was following him. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Du, what about your good goods?" Dude, I'd like to take a look. ”

As soon as Steward Zhang said this, the middle-aged man hurriedly took advantage of it and smiled. "Brother Zhang, don't worry, come over right away." After speaking, he turned around and made a long whistle outside, and saw a luxurious carriage coming from the side road. In an instant, the carriage was in front of them.

The middle-aged man pointed to the long-haired old man on the frame and introduced, "Steward Zhang, this is my partner Boss Niu." I came here with my younger brother, and I asked Steward Zhang to carry me more in the future. ”

The long-haired old man nodded abruptly to Steward Zhang, and the two finished saluting each other. The middle-aged man took Steward Zhang around the back of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and pointed to the two women in the carriage.

"Steward Zhang, you see, this is the best goods that my brother desperately found for you. The younger brother guarantees that these two little children can make Steward Zhang's face paste gold and compete for glory in front of thousands of adults. ”

Butler Zhang followed the gesture of the middle-aged man to lift the curtain, and looked inside, only to see two seventeen or eighteen-year-old delicate women tied up in the carriage, one of them, with a dead heart and an expressionless face, leaning in the carriage; The other, on the other hand, stared at him with a look of trepidation.

The middle-aged man took advantage of the front and said with a smile, "Steward Zhang, you see that these two little guys are quite satisfied." The appearance of each one is not bad, the age is the same, it is the time of youth, as delicate as flowers. I think the Lord of the Thousand Households will be overjoyed when they see it. ”

Steward Zhang turned around and glanced at the two of them coldly, and said in a gloomy manner. "Brother Du, these two children look good, they are very eye-catching, but I just don't know if there is anything different in terms of piano, chess, and music?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked directly at the long-haired old man on the side, and suddenly smiled strangely. "Big brother, you can talk about this problem, so that Steward Zhang can rest assured."

The long-haired old man was suddenly stunned by the middle-aged man, and said with a very serious look.

"Steward Zhang, you can rest assured that you can be a hundred. These two children don't dare to say anything about it, if it comes to this piano, chess, and music. The innermost Li Jin'er, I'm afraid that none of the courtesans and dancers in your Qianhu Mansion can stand up to it until now. ”

After that, the conversation changed, and he pointed to the spring girl in front of him and said. "But this Yang Cai'er in front of her, this aspect may be much inferior."

As soon as the long-haired old man finished speaking, the middle-aged man complimented Steward Zhang, who was full of doubts. "It's, yes, my boss is not bad at all. Steward Zhang, let's see how we finish the handover. Our brothers don't want to drag it out for a long time, and the nights are long and dreamy. ”

Steward Zhang stroked the goatee under his chin with his hand, rolled his eyes, and turned back to the arrogant old man before. "Chang'an, you go back and send a few maids to the back door to greet the newcomers. By the way, I brought fifty taels of silver, and I would like to thank Brother Du for this good intention. ”

The old man known as 'Chang'an' seemed to be very alert and obedient, so he answered, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard of the Thousand Households.
