Xiao Shi is squatting in front of the door, helping Xiao Bu with his little hands. Hear "Deer...... The sound of horses' hooves ......", he looked up and followed the sound, and found that the young man led by him was quite familiar, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes to identify it carefully.

"Young master, the five houses with courtyards in front of you are Uncle Yu's home. The servant inquired, there are few households in the village with such a big house, but ......" Zhou Shao's personal servant Simo paused for a moment with a slight hesitation.

"Just what?" Wednesday Shao recognized the little guy squatting in front of the door from a distance, it was Xiaocao's cute younger brother. It should be here!

Si Mo also saw the little boy wearing a patched and torn cotton jacket, and said with a sigh: "With Uncle Yu's ability and these houses, the Yu family's family should be pretty good." How many children are not as good as the children of other families in the village.

Look, isn't that the younger brother of the little grass girl? The padded jacket is torn, and it should have been thrown away a long time ago. These days, the prey money that Zhenyulou gives to settle is sixty or seventy taels, which is almost the New Year, and I am reluctant to make a new padded jacket for my child......"

Zhou Zixu frowned slightly, and said, "Uncle Yu doesn't look like a mean child, is there anything hidden?" ”

has personally experienced the struggle for fame and fortune in the family, and Zhou Zixu will always think deeply about it. Isn't that the same for your own home? If it weren't for the pressure of the old lady and the old lady above, and he showed his talent in business in the past two years, the second room would have been devoured by those greedy relatives. Uncle Yu, I guess he also has his unspeakable secrets, right?

"I remember you! You are the third young master of the Zhou family, right? Little Stone stood up, tilted his little head, and smiled brightly.

Zhou Zixu turned over and dismounted, touched the little guy's hairy head, and said with a warm face: "Little stone, what Wednesday young master?" Call me 'Brother Wednesday'! Next time you make a mistake, you'll be punished! ”

"Penalty what?" Little Stone blinked and asked curiously.

"Punish you for ......" Zhou Zixu took the food box containing the pastries from Si Mo's hand, and said with a smile, "I will punish you for not eating the pastries brought by Brother Wednesday!" ”

Xiao Shi stared at the delicate food box in Zhou Shao's hand, and read the signboard on it word by word: "Lian...... Remember...... Snack shop! Is it the largest and most expensive dim sum in town? This box has a lot of silver, right? ”

Zhou Zixu was slightly surprised and said: "Yo, how big is the small stone, and you can read and write?" ”

Xiao Shi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "When I was playing at Wuzi's house, I learned a few words from Brother Wen......

"Little Stone is so smart! I heard that your second sister is sick? Zhou Zixu asked.

"Hmmm! Very sick, if it weren't for the grandfather to borrow our silver, my second sister might have ......" The little guy hung his head, and his mood was very low. He and his sister are very obedient, why doesn't grandma like them?

"Stone, who do you talk to? If you don't take advantage of the good weather and pick up some firewood to come back, you will know how to play! Day by day, I only eat with my mouth open and don't work, and I have to offer a medicine jar! I owe it to you! Zhang's shrill shouts came.

Zhou Zixu couldn't help frowning: How old is the child, just ask to work?

Just as she was thinking, an old lady with a mean face and a fierce look came out of the door, put her hand on her waist, and made a shrewd posture scolding the street.

Seeing the three people with extraordinary momentum in front of the door, Zhang's scolding that was about to come out was swallowed by her. For Zhou Zixu, who was obviously from a wealthy background, the originally aggressive Zhang suddenly withered, and said weakly with his shoulders and head down: "You guys...... Who to look for? ”

Si Mo couldn't get used to the appearance of this old witch with high eyebrows and low eyes, and said with a straight face: "Is this Yu Hai's house?" ”

"Yu Hai? Yu Hai, did he offend the nobles? This dead thing knows to cause trouble for the family! This young master, he went up the mountain to hunt and hasn't come back yet. What he did has nothing to do with us! Seeing that Simo's face was not good, Zhang was so frightened that he was incoherent, scolding and dissociating himself.

Si Mo was even more displeased, and interrupted her impatiently, saying, "Yu Hai is not at home, Yu Xiaocao should be at home, right?" ”

"Grass? Something about her too? I'll just say that this dead girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and sooner or later she will cause trouble. It's not ...... Cause trouble, and cause chaos in the family......" Zhang whispered helplessly.

"Where the hell is it!?" Si Mo saw that his young master narrowed his eyes, which was a precursor to his anger, and his face became even more ugly.

"In ...... What about Westinghouse! Zhang was frightened by his suddenly raised voice. If the nobles are angry, they won't be implicated, right?

Zhou Zixu threw the reins to Simo, took his housekeeper, and walked into the courtyard without squinting. After staring around for a moment, he turned into the low, suffocated Westinghouse.

"Wednesday Shao, you're finally here!" The light in the room was dim, and before Zhou Zixu's eyes could adapt to the light inside, he heard Xiaocao's surprise voice.

Zhou Zixu glanced at the simple furnishings in the house - a large kang, the quilt on the kang was worn out but clean, and on the kang was a rattan box with some years. There was a wooden table under the kang that was about to fall apart, and there was nothing else. The lowest-ranking subordinates of the Zhou family also live better than them.

Zhou Zixu frowned, and said unhappily: "What about the silver you earned?" Where did it go? What is this quilt hard into, can it still be covered? Your family sells prey to make a lot of money, don't be reluctant to spend ......"

"Shh......h Shh......h

"Sanshao, I don't have a good body, and my family borrowed a lot of silver in order to treat me. The money my father has earned from hunting these days is not enough to pay off his debts! How can I have spare money to buy a new bedding? Yu Xiaocao amplified his voice and said in the direction of the door.

Zhou Zixu followed her line of sight, and the mean-looking old lady and a fat woman in the courtyard looked at this side from time to time.

He winked at Smoke. Si Mo walked out of the Westhouse, and stood in front of the door with a golden sword, with a black face like a door god, staring at the two sneaky mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both in the nest, and they shrank back to the main house under Sim's unkind gaze.

Li Shi looked cautiously into the courtyard, lowered his voice and said, "Mother! What kind of people are these? It looks like it's going to be in debt! The second child can't borrow money from Yinzi, right? That's the benefit of the donkey's rolling, borrowing one tael to pay back ten taels! ”

Zhang couldn't help but panic, and scolded: "Xiaocao's dead girl's medicine money, the second child refuses to reveal the real number." I heard the third daughter-in-law say that there is ginseng in the prescription, and it must be missing! A money-losing product, it's not worth the money of ginseng if it is sold! This scourge, I knew that I would be strangled to death and thrown to the south slope when I was born! ”

"Mother, what should I do! There are three of them, and the second child must owe a lot of money. If the second child can't afford to pay it back, he won't use the things in our house to pay off the debt, right? No way! I've got to hide the valuables...... "Li couldn't sit still, so he was about to go to the East House.

Zhang's heart was also anxious, she grabbed Li and scolded: "What is valuable in your house?" The boss won't hide his private money behind my back, right? ”

Li's face stiffened, and he hurriedly said, "Mother, how can it?" Dashan is the most filial, how can he be so careful? Didn't I go back to my parents' house a while ago? My mother brought me a piece of cloth and stuffed some of her private money. Mother, you are the most reasonable, you won't even hand over the private money given by your daughter-in-law's mother's family, right? ”

In fact, Zhang has not done such a thing. Every time the second daughter-in-law's mother's family came, the things and money she took eventually fell into Zhang's pocket. It's not good, saying that there are two medicine jars in the second room, or don't think about her paying for medical treatment after you don't hand it over.

However, the Li family's mother-in-law is tough, and the Zhang family does not dare to use the same treatment of his daughter-in-law on her. For the Li family to dump things from her mother's house in three days, and half of the food fell on her grandson anyway, she turned a blind eye.

"Alright, alright! How many copper plates of yours, can people see them? If you don't worry, go ahead, be careful, don't anger the nobles! The Zhang family only waited for the Li family to go out and find a hidden place to transfer the silver in the cabinet, so as not to fill the bottomless pit for the second child.

Seeing that the courtyard was finally clean, Zhou Zixu glanced at Yu Xiaocao, sat down on the kang, and said, "Okay, everyone is gone, don't cry poor!" ”

"I can't help it! The situation in our family, you don't know! The old lady is the most taboo for her children to hide their private money, especially our second room, which is like a thief all day long! If she knew that I had the silver in my hand, wouldn't she turn the second room upside down? Yu Xiaocao is not afraid to talk about his own situation.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhou Zixu shook his head and said softly: "In this way, your money is in your hands, and sooner or later you will cause trouble." It's better to take it out and do business together! ”

He also said this casually, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaocao to wait for him: "I heard Xiaolian say, what business can't you handle on Wednesday, do you have to pull me?" ”

"Hey! I can't handle it? And what I can't do on Wednesday? Zhou Zixu glanced at her obliquely and said, "I just want to pull you to make a fortune together for the sake of you helping me." Since you say so, forget it......"

"Don't!" Yu Xiaocao saw that he was about to leave, and hurriedly dragged the person down. She was also joking just now, if the imperial merchant Zhou family can't handle it, what can she, a fisherwoman, help?

"Alright! You have a lot of young adults on Wednesday, don't be like a little girl with me! What kind of business is it, let's hear it! Yu Xiaocao laughed with her, and made a gesture again and again.

Zhou Zixu was really angry with her, nodded her forehead with a smile and said, "You!" Don't be weird! I want to open an oyster sauce workshop and sell it to big restaurants in several surrounding cities. It's just that you also said that oyster sauce doesn't last long, so I want to ask you if there is any way. ”
