Chapter 335: Door-to-door
"On the summer solstice, I ran to the teahouse near Wufu early in the morning to drink morning tea, while watching the situation at the gate of Wufu. There are twice as many guards guarding the door alone as in a normal house, and each of them looks strong and sturdy, and the crowd tactics alone are enough to toss.
Having said that, although Old Man Wu has a lot of money, he can't be so strict as to keep it back. In broad daylight, the Wu Mansion is in trouble again, are you still afraid that the robbers will forcibly break in and loot it? Xia Zhi is more inclined to have too many hostile people against Old Man Wu, and he is afraid of the unexpected. At the age of Old Man Wu, he can still play with power and financial resources so well, his wrist must be amazing, and there should be many people who have offended him by doing evil things, right?
Xia Zhi has always been prejudiced against Old Man Wu, just looking at the fine light in his eyes, he feels that this is not an ordinary kind old man, such a person is actually the head of the Tongshan Association, and he doesn't even have a good impression of this organization.
In the Wu Mansion, there is only one person who barely knows Luo Li. However, the two of them have various conflicts and old grievances, and if they visit suddenly, they may not even be able to enter the door.
After thinking about it for a long time, seeing that the sun was getting hotter and hotter, the summer solstice was still at a loss.
The shopkeeper came over to inquire deliberately, because Xia Zhi occupied the window table alone for too long, so his tone was slightly heavy.
Xia Zhi cheekily handed him the teapot. The shopkeeper pulled out a smile, gritted his teeth, and stepped back with a heavy step.
Xia Zhi doesn't want to block other people's business, but the location by this window is the best place to investigate. Not only can you see the condition of the gate of the Wu Mansion, but also the pedestrians and vehicles on both sides of the street can be seen clearly. For example, from the left, a carriage came, obviously carrying quite heavy things, and the groom led the horse through the street and stopped in front of the Wu Mansion. A boy with a temperament jumped out of the car and said a few words to the guard guarding the door, who turned around and went back to the house to report.
Xia Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, hehe, the opportunity has come.
took out the silver taels and threw them on the table to settle the bill, and said to the shopkeeper who came back from pouring tea, Xia Zhi took three steps and walked quickly to the carriage parked in front of the Wu Mansion.
Xia Zhi stretched out his hand and patted the boy's shoulder, showing a bright smile to say hello,
Chen Huan was obviously stunned for a moment, but before he had time to be happy, he realized the dangerous smell, and Xia Zhi's strange move felt like a weasel greeting a chicken for the New Year. Thinking so, on the surface it is still a polite greeting,
Xia Zhi glanced at the door of the Wu Mansion and asked,
Chen Huan patted the carriage,
Summer solstice's exaggerated expression.
Chen Huan couldn't stand the yin and yang weirdness of the summer solstice, and pointed it out directly,
Xia Zhi ignored Chen Huan's protest and continued to ask,
Chen Huan replied.
It is worthy of Chen Huan, who has known him for a long time, who accurately grasped the rules of action of the summer solstice, and it can be seen that the motives of the summer solstice are impure in a few words. The initiative is in his own hands, and Chen Huan, who is holding the chips, is full of confidence to threaten Xia Zhi to inform him of his intentions.
Xia Solstice gritted his teeth and directly stated his purpose,
Chen Huan found that the matter seemed to be much more serious than he imagined, and couldn't help frowning.
However, at this time, the guard who reported had already returned, and said to Chen Huan, and while talking, he led Chen Huan and them to the side door.
Xia Zhi walked with Chen Huan, and the guards couldn't help but be suspicious,
Chen Huan said with a smile.
The guard smiled a little, not as serious and rigid as before.
Xia Zhi thanked him obediently. The guard smiled at her friendly, acquiescing that she could follow her into the Wu Mansion.
At the side door of the Wu Mansion, there were already people waiting. A steward who looked obviously a higher level was standing at the side door with two small servants, and when he saw Chen Huan and them coming, his attitude was not very friendly.
The steward led the way in front and said all the way,
Chen Huan answered.
The steward seems to be usually called by Luo Li, and he complains endlessly. The steward rolled his eyes as he spoke, showing how deep the dissatisfaction was.
Chen Huan learned a lot of means of entertainment, and when he heard this, he immediately secretly stuffed a silver ticket.
The steward took the silver ticket, opened a gap and glanced at the amount on it, and immediately said with a smile,
Chen Huan said with a smile.
Xia Zhi, who watched the whole process, said that Chen Huan deserved to have the blood of a businessman in his body, and he had a set of means, did he wake up or did he disdain it before? There's no way to know. I couldn't help but sigh twice, sighing at the changes in the world. “
