Chapter 22: Thinking about countermeasures

On the way back to Happy Square by boat, Wang Zhen thought hard about countermeasures. Although there are still three months left in the nominal marriage, the actual time available for him is even shorter. Talking to Wang Ningzhi about the conditions for him to regret his marriage is simply a fool's dream. First, there is no bargaining chip; Second, the person is General Zuo, you are the second shopkeeper, don't talk about the conditions with others, it's a problem whether people see you or not. The best way is to kill Wang Ningzhi. The question is, who to let go? Xie Daoyun didn't let him go; The eldest brother Qingxu is strong in martial arts, but he has a sick wife at home, if he kills the people of the Langya Wang family, who almost share the world with the Sima family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape for the rest of his life, which is not what Wang Zhen wants; The owner Zhang Xuanmen has many guests, and Tang Qiu, who has been guarding him all the year round, is also a person with strong martial arts, so he can naturally kill Wang Ningzhi, but Wang Zhen does not have the value of letting Zhang Xuan take risks to help him.

Wang Zhen thought about it and was still at a loss, and in the midst of trouble, Wang Zhen opened the palm of his hand, and there was a burst of warmth in his heart. Two good things happened today: one is to know that Xie Daoyun's heart is towards himself; The other was that he had finally taken her hand, and now it seemed that there was still her lingering fragrance on his hand.

After returning to Ji Yaxuan to apologize to the shopkeeper, Wang Zhen found that Ah Fu and Mr. Xu were a little wrong. Ah Fu is preoccupied, depressed, and always doing wrong things; Mr. Xu always looked at Wang Zhen twice, as if he had something to say. Wang Zhen felt strange in his heart, didn't they just have a romantic night and were happy until dawn? How is such a state of mind?

Finally stayed up until closing, Ah Fu went to make dinner, and Wang Zhen came to Mr. Xu's room with a pot of wine.

Knocking on the door, before Wang Zhen could speak, Mr. Xu pulled Wang Zhen into the room and spoke first: "Wang Zhen, something happened to Ah Fu!" ”

Wang Zhen was amused and asked, "What can happen to someone like Ah Fu?" ”

Mr. Xu said: "He fell in love with a little girl last night. ”

Wang Zhen was so surprised that his jaw fell to the ground, and he asked in disbelief, "Wait, what does that 'love' of his mean?" ”

Mr. Xu said angrily: "It means to like it." ”

Wang Zhen wanted to confirm again, so he asked: "Is he the one who likes her or does he like her body?" ”

Mr. Xu said: "He said that he was the one who liked her. ”

A client and a prostitute fall in love with a prostitute after a night of romance, it's too bullshit!

The king asked, "Are he sure that he was not so impulsive because of the first time?" ”

Mr. Xu said: "He went to the bustard to redeem her." The old bustard insisted on five hundred taels of silver. ”

Wang Zhen stretched out five fingers and exclaimed, "Five hundred taels?!" Why didn't she grab it? ”

Mr. Xu said: "The bustard said that she spent a lot of money on the little girl, and she would not let her be good until the little girl earned enough five hundred taels for her, so Ah Fu had to pay five hundred taels to help her redeem herself." ”

Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu, I'll talk about these later, I have a question that I urgently need to ask Mr. Xu." ”

Mr. Xu beckoned Wang Zhen to sit down, and Wang Zhen said: "What is the relationship between the family in Jiangnan and the family with the surname of overseas Chinese in Jiangbei?" ”

Mr. Xu said: "The Jiangnan clan does not recognize the Jiangbei clan and calls them outsiders. However, the Jiangnan clan only has economic advantages and has no political voice at all. The Jiangbei clan had a complete monopoly on power. The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is a tool for the advancement, promotion and monopoly of politics of the Jiangbei clan. Therefore, there are political guidelines such as 'there is no poor family in the upper grade, and there is no family in the lower grade', and 'the virtuous do not come out of the world, and the usage is not as good as the powerful'. The Jiangbei clan has held high-ranking positions for generations, even imbeciles and disabled children; The Jiangnan clan can only be a low-grade petty official, and there is no chance of promotion. This is the first contradiction. After the Jiangbei Shi people moved to the south, a large number of ownerless fertile land, a large amount of wasteland was reclaimed, and a large number of land was acquired and merged, which also put great pressure on the Jiangnan Shi people at the economic level. This is the second contradiction. ”

Wang Zhen said with a smile: "There is no place for learning and uselessness, I'm afraid this is the reason why Mr. is hiding here, right?" ”

Mr. Xu took a sip of wine and was noncommittal.

At this time, Ah Fu called for dinner in the courtyard, and the two went out together. Seeing Ah Fu, Wang asked, "Ah Fu, are you really in love with the little girl in Yuexianglou?" ”

Ah Fu nodded and said, "Her name is Xiaorong." ”

Wang Zhen still asked reluctantly: "Could it be that I drank too much wine last night, and everyone looks like a fairy?" ”

Ah Fu said: "No, we hugged each other and cried in the second half of the night." ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Don't you mind if she is with a different man every day...... That one? ”

Ah Fu cried: "Xiaorong is a good girl, she was forced, her father and mother sold her to Yuexianglou because she was poor." ”

Mr. Xu stopped Ah Fu on the side and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, eat first." Wang Qian, let's see if you can find a way to help him. ”

Ah Fu wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, yes, Wang Qian, can you talk to the owner." The owner is so rich, tell him to let Xiaorong go. ”

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly: "It's impossible for the owner to ask about such a trivial matter." And if you want to negotiate terms with the owner, you have to have chips! Ah Fu, I dragged you to Yuexianglou last night, I really don't know if I helped you or hurt you. Ah Fu lowered his head to eat and did not speak.

Wang Zhen said again: "But I do have to negotiate with the owner tomorrow." ”

Mr. Xu and Ah Fuqi looked at him and said in unison: "What conditions to talk about?" ”

Wang said: "Because I also like a girl, I need to rely on the power of the owner." ”

Ah Fufu quickly sucked the green vegetables into his mouth and said in surprise: "Wang Zhen, do you also like the girl in Yuexianglou?" ”

Mr. Xu pushed Ah Fu's arm and said, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about!" He wasn't there last night. By the way, Wang Qian, what have you been doing with the Shenlong in the past two days? ”

Wang Qiandao: "Yesterday, I helped the owner win chess, so he invited me to Yuexianglou." Today I went to meet my beloved girl. ”

The two asked in unison, "Who is that girl?" ”

Wang Qiandao: "Thank you." ”

The two were shocked at the same time, and Mr. Xu said, "The eldest lady of the Xie clan of Chenjun County?!" ”

Ah Fu said: "Wang Qian, your vision is so high!" ”

Wang asked: "Yes, that's why I said last time that I was here, and my dream was in heaven." And I'm pressed for time, and she's got married in three months. ”

Mr. Xu asked, "Marrying into the Langya Wang family?" Wang Zhen nodded.

Mr. Xu said: "Since she already has a marriage contract, what else can you do?" ”

Wang Qiandao: "It's up to people, how can you know if you don't do it!" That's why I'm going to go to the owner tomorrow to talk about the conditions. ”

Ah Fu said: "Wang Qian, I really admire you so much. A shopkeeper dares to pursue a daughter with a marriage contract! It seems so impossible, but you don't hesitate to think about it. If it were me, I would have been discouraged a long time ago. ”

Mr. Xu said: "This is the difference between you and Wang Qian. ”

Wang Zhen patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and said, "I'll see if there is a chance tomorrow, and if I have the opportunity, I will talk to the owner about Xiaorong." You also have to learn to grow up, you can't support Xiaorong like you are now. ”

Ah Fu said: "I've thought about it, when Xiaorong comes out, we will go back to the countryside together, and I will plough the fields to raise her." ”

Mr. Xu poured cold water and said, "Let's think about five hundred taels first." Ah Fu immediately looked like a deflated ball.

That night, Wang Zhen lay on the bed and looked at the roof, thinking about a lot of philosophical things.
