Although he realized that he was a little ill-considered, Zhou Zhou Ming didn't want to lose face in front of this housekeeper, so his eyes widened and he continued to stiffen: "Did I say I won't write you a receipt?" I mean, I'll let you go outside and wait, and after I write the receipt, I'll send someone to take it out and give it to you, I want to do that, it should be fine, right? ”

Steward Xu stood in place with an embarrassed face, thinking that this Lord Zhou was really interesting, just now he obviously wanted to send himself away, but after his own reminder, he reacted, but he didn't apologize at all, is this a trick?

Although he saw through Zhou Ming's little tricks, but people were under the eaves, how could they not bow their heads, the housekeeper could only swallow his anger and said: "What Lord Zhou said is extremely true, I didn't think about it for a while, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Although Zhou Zhou Ming lacked confidence in his heart, he still had an arrogant look on his face: "Don't worry, I won't be like you, since the words are said here, please take the first step, as for the receipt, I will send someone to you immediately." ”

Steward Xu stood in place, without the intention of leaving, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Lord Zhou, I don't think it's appropriate to do this. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Zhou Ming was about to call the subordinates in the family to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but what he never expected was that Steward Xu actually had an opinion about his own approach, which made him very angry at the same time, and hurriedly asked.

Steward Xu had obviously sensed that Zhou Ming was angry, but there were some things that he still had to say: "Lord Zhou, here's the thing, I think that the matter about my lord's father giving you this money should be extremely confidential, and the fewer people who know, the better."

Although I brought a lot of people with me, they were all to protect the safety of this huge amount of money, and as for the person who knew the purpose of my trip, I was the only one, and the others did not know about it.

If you ask me to wait outside, and you write a receipt with great fanfare and send it to me, in the process, there are so many people that it is difficult to guarantee that no one will leak the news.

Of course, even if the news leaks out, it will have no impact on you, but for those of us who run errands, it will be difficult. ”

Halfway through Steward Xu's words, Zhou Zhou Ming understood what he meant, and felt that what he said made sense, and he even thought that if this matter was publicized, it would not be beneficial to him, after all, this huge amount of money was obtained by Han Pingzhi and himself and extorted from Yang Shijun, although that kid spent such a large amount of money, he deserved it, but this kind of blackmail means can't be put on the table after all.

"What you said also makes sense, but in your opinion, what should be done about this matter?" Zhou Zhou Ming felt that the housekeeper in front of him, although he was on an errand at Yang Shijun's house, was still very capable of doing things, so after listening to his words, Zhou Zhou Ming immediately asked without thinking.

Steward Xu clenched his fists very modestly, and suggested in a low voice: "Lord Zhou, you might as well think so, I have paper, ink, pen and inkstone with me, you might as well write out the receipt while I am here, and then hand it over to me, so that it is convenient for you and me, and there will be no one else in the middle, which can ensure that this matter will not leak out to the greatest extent." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, then raised his hand to ask Steward Xu to take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and spread it on the desk.

It was not until this moment that Steward Xu's nervous mood was a little relaxed, because just now he looked at Zhou Ming's appearance, thinking that he was going to repay the debt and refused to write a receipt, if things really turned out to be like this, then the housekeeper himself would be unlucky, after all, the money was given, but he did not receive a receipt, such a result, no matter what, he could not explain it in front of his master.

And if Zhou Zhou Ming is a scoundrel, after getting this money, because he didn't write a receipt, he can play tricks, saying that he didn't receive the money, and then ask his master for it, in that case, the consequences will be unimaginable, after all, his own master has always been ruthless, and after eating such a dumb loss, he didn't dare to poison Zhou Ming, but he still didn't have any scruples about cleaning himself up.

In order to prevent Zhou Zhou Ming from changing his hexagram, after learning that he was willing to write a receipt, Steward Xu immediately took out a paper, ink, pen and inkstone from his arms, carefully placed it on the desk, and then respectfully asked Zhou Ming to write a receipt.

Seeing this housekeeper doing things so neatly, Zhou Zhou Ming inevitably had a trace of love for talent, thinking that such a talent was on an errand in Yang Shijun's house, it was a pity for this talent, if there was a chance in the future, he must find a way to get this talent into his own home, let him take over Laifu's position, and with him at home to help the young grandmother preside over the overall situation, he can let go of his courage to work hard outside, and there is no worries.

Zhou Ming did not hesitate, picked up the brush, dipped it in some ink, raised his hand and waved, and the receipt was written in a few moments.

Zhou Ming picked up the receipt, handed it to Steward Xu, and said, "You take it and take a look, if there is anything wrong, I can change it again." ”

Steward Xu took the receipt in his hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart, because the receipt written by Zhou Zhou Ming was neatly written and rigorously formatted, and this pen was even more like a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which can be called art.

After Steward Xu repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with the receipt, he immediately saluted Zhou Ming and said: "Lord Zhou, there is no problem with your receipt, since the matter has been completed, then I will not bother, Lord Zhou has a good rest, I will go back to the house first." ”

Zhou Ming nodded, and said loudly: "Come on, send off the guests for me." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the study was opened, and an old family member who was old and respectful walked in with a smile on his face, nodded to Zhou Ming, and then he led the housekeeper outside.

After the two of them walked out of the study and the door closed from the outside, Zhou Zhou Ming used his keen senses to repeatedly confirm that there was no one outside, and then he carefully took out the silver ticket of 200,000 taels of silver from his arms, and carefully checked it under the lamp, and couldn't help but keep playing.

But the happy mood didn't last long, because Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly thought that a large part of this huge amount of money belonged to Han Pingzhi, and this money might be given to people tomorrow, and after sending this part of the money out, it is estimated that after buying the house, there will be not much left for the lady to have a beautiful birthday.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this money is really not spent, it seems that he will have to make money in the future.

While he was thinking about where to hide this huge amount of money, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the study.

"Who?" Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly hid the silver ticket in his arms, and then asked in a loud voice very vigilantly.

The voice of the family came from outside the door: "Young master, it's me, the master told me to come and tell you, if the guest leaves, please go to his side, he has something to tell you." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming frowned, and immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart, thinking that it would definitely not be good for Dad to let me go to their room so late, after all, I was in front of the housekeeper just now, and I drove him out like that, I really didn't save face for him, maybe this old man is still angry with himself, if this is the case, it will be bad.

I'm so sleepy now, I don't have any energy at all, and if I want to coax the old man, I'm afraid I can't think of words.

"Okay, I know, you go and tell the master, I'll be right away." After Zhou Zhou Ming sent the subordinate away, he put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone left by Steward Xu, and then tidied up his clothes, hid the silver ticket, and then slowly walked out of the study.

At this time, Zhou Ruhai was in his own room, sulking, no matter how Mrs. Zhou persuaded him, he was indifferent, still looking angry.

It turned out that after being sent out of the study by Zhou Zhou Ming just now, Zhou Ruhai has been unbalanced in his heart, feeling that his son did not save face for himself in front of outsiders, and what made him even more unacceptable was that the housekeeper had something important to find his son, and he couldn't even reveal himself, which was simply a big joke in the world.

When he returned to his room, Lin Ajiao was also there, and he complained to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law angrily, and then sat on the sidelines, silent.

Lin Ajiao saw her father-in-law like this, so she was very interested, and after a while, she left.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was gone, Mrs. Zhou made time to ask Zhou Ruhai: "Master, weren't you receiving guests in the study just now?" Why did you come back in a huff after such a while, who made you angry? Are those guests who don't know how to be polite and provoke you? ”

Zhou Ruhai sneered: "Hmph, I can't be so angry when others provoke me, and I can't be angry with others."

The reason why I am angry with this virtue is entirely due to your good son. ”

Mrs. Zhou was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Alas," Zhou Ruhai sighed, "Don't mention it, after eating, I was reading in the study alone, and there was nothing to do, but suddenly the family told me that there was a group of uninvited guests outside the door of our house, and the group of people looked fierce and vicious, which was very terrifying."

I was afraid that something would happen, so I went out to have a look.

It turned out that although the group of people didn't look very good, the person who took the lead still knew a lot of etiquette between words.

It was precisely because of this that I talked to them, and finally learned that they were looking for our son, and as for me when I asked them what they were looking for our son, they didn't say anything, and said that they could only tell our son about it. ”

Mrs. Zhou already knew about these situations before Zhou Ruhai, and the question she was most concerned about at the moment was why her master was angry with her son.

"Master, you won't be angry with our son for this reason, right?" Mrs. Zhou asked with a smile.
