Chapter 91

"Brother Song, I didn't expect you to be so righteous, there are not many people like you now, but wouldn't it be too undeserving for me to ask you to pay for my business, and others will say that I am not authentic, and I will figure out how to spend this expenditure myself." Zhang Lun waved his hand and smiled.

Song Nan said: "Little grandfather, you will see the outside when you say this, money is something outside the body, the most important thing at present is to hurry up and get the errand done, the emperor always has to pass that pass, the little grandfather naturally can't give people a handle to do things, but in the office of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, it is natural to govern the streets and alleys of the capital decently, Fang shows the ability of the little grandfather, in the future, the little grandfather will resign from the position of the Terracotta Division and be promoted to another position, won't this money have to be paid?" ”

Zhang Lun thought for a while and said, "Having said that, didn't I make it clear that I took advantage of you?" You and I have only been around for a few days, how can we ask you to give you such a large sum of money? ”

The county lord popped out a sentence: "Brother, don't you understand this?" This Song Baihu is slapping you in disguise, you can't see it. ”

Song Nan couldn't wait to pick up the teacup on the table and stuff the mouth of the county lord, of course Song Nan was not wronged, the reason why he was willing to pay such a large sum of money for Zhang Lun to help Zhang Lun complete the errand was indeed to have a good relationship with the little grandfather of the British government; In the capital, there are many low-level officials like himself, how many of them can have a chance to get involved with the little grandfather of the Guogong Mansion? Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this little grandfather is acting quite legitimately, and there is no domineering spirit of the powerful, Song Nan also has a good impression of him, it happens that the little grandfather is in trouble, of course Song Nan is unwilling to let it go, this sycophant is also a natural shot.

Moreover, a rootless and helpless person like Song Nan who entered Beijing from other places, if he wants to mix well in the capital, he must have a backer, and befriending Zhang Lun is beneficial and harmless to Song Nan; But it was broken by this hateful little county lord, and suddenly the whole thing changed, as if Song Nan had become a powerful villain.

Zhang Lun is also a little embarrassed, some things are tacit, how can he not know that Song Nan is patting himself in disguise, but once the words are clear, how can Song Nan's face be hung up?

However, Song Nan looked very calm, but smiled: "The county lord is straightforward, I am indeed patting the sycophants, but I have a choice in patting the sycophants, I am also a person from the Guogong Mansion, Brother Ling is willing to do something for the people, I admire him, so it doesn't hurt to pat, like the little county lord, who connived at his subordinates to run rampant in the market, even if I knew that you were the county lord of the Guogong Mansion, have you ever pretended?" ”

These words were quite heavy, and the lord of the county changed color when he boarded, and he was about to go crazy, Zhang Lun lowered his face and shouted: "Sister, I am talking about serious business with Song Baihu, what kind of trouble are you making?" Song Baihu was kind enough to help me tide over the difficulties, with a warm-hearted heart, but you said him so badly, you blamed me for being too spoiled by you on weekdays. ”

The county lord stomped his feet and said, "Brother, didn't you hear?" What did he just say about me? I...... Am I not so unbearable in his mind? ”

Zhang Lun shouted: "Is Song Baihu wrong? Look at what you've been doing on the street in the past few years, mixing with some ruffians all day long, and those garbage words of 'county lord boss' will make you flutter and don't know why, how many bad things they have done in your name secretly? It's just a matter of turning a blind eye to your brother, aren't you too doting on you? Do you know what the results will be if these things are known to the old man? I'll be grounded for at least three months! ”

The county lord had never been reprimanded so fiercely by his brother, and immediately burst into tears, crying: "Okay, I know that you all hate me, I ...... I went back to my hometown in Shanxi, and I will never come to the capital again, and you in the province are tired of me. ”

Running out while crying, Zhang Lun hurriedly said, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”

Song Nan sat near the outer entrance, the county lord covered his face and ran over, Song Nan grabbed her arm as soon as he stretched out his hand and pulled it away, the county lord was even more angry, and hit with a wave of his palm, how could Song Nan let her hit the mouth again, reached out and grabbed her hand, and said with a smile: "County lord, it seems that you don't care about the little grandfather." ”

Lord Jun said angrily: "He is my brother, how can I not care? Besides, you have to take care of these things? Are you worthy? ”

Song Nan shook off her palm and said: "I'm naturally not worthy, but in my opinion, when my brother is so embarrassed, I, an outsider, find a way to solve the problem for him, but you, who are my sister, make trouble for him, this is how much you care about him?" ”

The lord cried out, "How have I caused trouble for him? ”

Song Nan said: "The emperor will inspect the city on a day after a month, and Brother Ling only has one month to renovate the 28 squares of the inner and outer cities where garbage is full of flies. Even if he won't be guilty, how can Brother Ling's face remain? Is there a light on the face of the Guogong Mansion? ”

With tears on his face, his eyes widened and he said, "That'...... I can't help with that. ”

Zhang Lun beckoned: "Sister, come and sit down, my brother doesn't need you to help much, just don't make trouble for my brother; Song Baihu and I will settle this matter, Song Baihu is a warm-hearted person, you are not allowed to slander him so much. ”

The county lord wiped his tears and walked over and whispered, "Brother, my sister is wrong, she shouldn't say something like that." ”

Zhang Lun said: "I have to tell Brother Song about this sentence." ”

The county lord looked at Song Nan, his mouth moved, and he finally couldn't open his mouth, Song Nan waved his hand and said: "I also said unpleasant things, let's settle it, and we don't need to apologize." ”

Zhang Lun smiled: "Look at how generous Brother Song is. ”

Song Nan said: "Actually, the little county lord can also help with this matter." ”

Yan Jun asserted his small mouth and said, "Me? I don't dare to ask my grandfather for money, on weekdays I say what I want, my grandfather will order someone to buy it and send it, I haven't even used the silver, suddenly ask for a large amount of money, grandpa will be suspicious, how to answer? ”

Zhang Lun said: "Yes, Brother Song, you don't know, if you can stretch out your hand to the old man, I will go by myself, why let the sister come forward; The old man often said that only by sharpening can he become a talent, under the wings of the family, relying on the shadow of the ancestors is not a skill, so I have been on an errand since I came, everything is solved by myself, and I never rely on the old man's help, I just don't want the old man to look down on me. ”

Song Nan said: "I don't want the county lord to reach out to the family for you, but I want the county lord to clean up the idle gangsters on the street for you, which is the county lord's strength; For example, don't the three gangs of ruffians in the three squares under the jurisdiction of Zhengnan Fang bow down to the county lord? We want to use them, and we always ask them to obey our control, and we can't come forward, isn't it good for the county lord to come forward? Anyway, it's not the first time that the county lord has been their leader, so the county lord is their leader, and the custody is more effective than ours. ”

Zhang Lun patted his thigh and said: "Yes, sister, you can do this thing, they see you like a mouse and a cat, this is a non-governmental organization, it must be inconvenient for me and Brother Song to come forward to control them, why don't you still be their boss and help my brother control them well, isn't it a good thing?" ”

The county lord squirmed: "Then don't you say that I have a bad reputation for mixing with the ruffians? ”

Zhang Lun hurriedly said: "It's good, it's good, it's good, what do you say, Brother Song?" Zhang Lun squeezed his eyes.

Song Nan said with a smile: "Conniving at them to do evil will naturally affect their reputation, and restricting them to do good deeds is accumulating good reputation, which is good-sounding." ”

The county lord smiled and said, "In that case, I'll help my brother what you say you should do?" ”

Song Nan said: "Don't be busy first, let's solve the problem of money first, although the county lord's words just now were harsh, but they also reminded me, little grandfather, it seems that I can't get this money out, lest someone say irresponsible remarks in the future, saying that I will send you money in order to tie you up." ”

Zhang Lun was stunned and said, "How did you say this, how could you think so?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "I don't think so, the little county lord thinks so, and others don't know what Lu Dao thinks of me in the future." ”

Zhang Lun said a little deflated: "Okay, I'll find a way to deal with the money, I still have five or six thousand taels of private silver on hand, and I'll talk about it for a few months first." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Little grandfather, although I don't directly pay money, I have come up with a way to teach others to have nothing to say, and the little grandfather is not afraid of filling this invincible hole without silver." ”

Zhang Lun was surprised: "What way?" ”

Song Nan said: "If the little grandfather can look down on my small industry, I solemnly invite the little grandfather to invest in my Song family's first-class duck, anyway, I am planning to expand my business, and the opening of ten and eight stores in the capital is in short supply, and the money will naturally be a lot of money; I know that this is naturally very different from the property of the Guogong Mansion, but after the little grandfather becomes a shareholder, he can openly withdraw a thousand taels of silver from my shop every month to pay this money, and no one will dare to be cheap in the future. ”

Zhang Lun shook his hand again and again: "How can this be done?" Isn't this more advantageous to you than asking you to pay directly? This is your family's unique business, isn't it a way for me to divide people's wealth by doing this? ”

Song Nan smiled: "I don't mind, what else does the little grandfather care?" You don't have to care about anything, everything is taken care of by my family, and at the end of the year, we will split the accounts at the end of the year, and no one will take advantage of anyone; If you buy shares, I can open two more branches, and that little money to support people is nothing. ”

Zhang Lun rubbed his hands and said, "You really don't mind?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Money can be earned for a lifetime, and I am not a miser who regards money as his life." ”

Zhang Lun smacked his lips and said: "Okay, Brother Song is refreshing, let's not grind, you are right, some money is earned, but good friends are difficult to make, I have made you a friend; But I have a request, since you said that we will split the account fifty-fifty, my investment must be a lot with yours, and the cost of hiring manpower must be paid out of my share, so that I can feel at ease. ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Cheng, the current cost of opening two shops is eight thousand taels, and the little grandfather will be able to open two more shops immediately." ”

Zhang Lun reached into his arms, took out a stack of silver tickets and said, "I have five thousand taels here, and I will give you the remaining three thousand taels tomorrow." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Remember the account first, and make up for it later." ”

Zhang Lun said: "That's not possible, I can't help but talk about the rules, you have to follow me in this matter." ”

Lord Yan suddenly stretched out his hand, and there was a green and verdant jade bracelet in his palm and said, "Brother, my sister will take this bracelet for you." ”

Song Nan saw that the jade bracelet was green and transparent, and it was really precious, so he hurriedly said: "How can it be done, I can't accept it." ”

Zhang Lun also said: "Sister, the jade bracelet is a birthday gift from the old man, and it is the jade material of Hetian Laokeng." ”

The lord said: "Is it worth three thousand taels?" ”

Zhang Lun said: "Three thousand taels is definitely worth it, but it's ......"

The lord of the county said: "Isn't that the end, No, three thousand taels plus five thousand taels, a full eight thousand taels, when will our Guogong Mansion owe people money?" Take it. ”

Song Nan looked at Zhang Lun and said, "This ......"

The county lord frowned and said, "What are you doing? When my grandfather asked, he said that it was smashed on the ground and asked him to buy me another one. ”

Zhang Lun and Song Nan rolled their eyes, Song Nan was not polite, reached out to take it, solemnly held it in his arms, made up his mind to keep it, and after a while, he said that the profit he earned was enough for three thousand taels, and then the original thing was returned.
