Chapter 208: Buying and Selling
The man took the envelope handed by Chen Ergou with some surprise and observed it carefully.
The letter's handwriting is graceful and upright, and it looks like it was written by a woman.
After reading it, the suspicion in the man's heart was even stronger.
However, when he looked at Chen Ergou, he hesitated again, not knowing whether to believe Chen Ergou's words or not.
"Are you sure your young lady asked you to come on an errand?"
The man asked.
Chen Ergou nodded: "Yes!" ”
"In that case, then I'll go to the accounting room with you!"
After the man pondered for a while, he finally decided to follow Chen Ergou to the account room.
He wanted to know who was so bold as to pretend to be his account keeper.
Thinking of this, the male protagonist followed Chen Ergou out of the cottage with a gloomy face and walked in the direction of the county seat.
……
Hujiazhuang, in a field nearby.
"Uncle, have you memorized all the farming methods I taught you?"
Wu Zhi raised his voice and asked.
He didn't mean to yell at people, the main old man was very old, and it didn't seem that his ears were good, so it was better to move bigger.
"Ouch, I remember it all!"
The old man said with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise that it won't be long before your farming methods can be implemented!" ”
"That's great!"
Wu Zhi said excitedly.
During this time, he also learned how to communicate with the old man so as not to frighten the old man.
"Then you go on with your work!"
Wu Zhi turned around and left the field, and Wu Song automatically followed.
In this way, the brothers went back and forth in the nearby fields a few times, collecting crops and chatting at the same time.
Later, at the warm invitation of a farmer, Wu Zhi and Wu Song went to each other's houses.
It is a large mansion with a beautiful surroundings and a beautiful landscape of trees and flowers, making it look like a paradise.
When Wu Song saw this mansion, he couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good place!" ”
"Hmmm! This is a house built especially for me by my young lady, and I have lived here for almost forty years! ”
When the old man heard the compliment, he immediately showed pride.
He has lived here for almost forty years and has never been praised for his house.
In this way, Wu Zhi stayed in the courtyard for a while, chatting about interesting things in the fields.
Half an hour later, he left with Wu Song, preparing to return to Hujiazhuang.
Before Wu Song left, he glanced at the house nostalgically, and then followed Wu Zhi to the entrance of the village.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, Wu Zhi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Song asked.
Wu Zhi suppressed the doubts in his heart and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little hungry, let's go find a restaurant to eat first!" ”
Wu Zhi's reason was very far-fetched, but Wu Song did not refute it, and the two of them headed towards the entrance of the village.
When passing by a tea shop, Wu Zhi suddenly saw a scene at the door of the tea shop.
"What is this?"
Wu Zhi was stunned.
He found that the woman sitting on the chair was actually the woman he had seen when he passed by the Qinglou not long ago!
"Did I recognize the wrong person?"
Wu Zhi said secretly in his heart.
He didn't notice the change in Wu Song's expression at this time, his eyes fell on the woman's body, and his heart was pounding.
It's just that this time I changed my clothes, I was dressed very plainly, and my face was powdered, and I looked ordinary.
"Brother, what do you see?"
Wu Song asked.
Wu Zhi came back to his senses suddenly, quickly gathered his thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt a familiar breath!" ”
"Yes! That's probably thinking too much, let's go! Let's eat first! ”
Wu Zhi said.
"Well, good!"
Wu Song answered, and the two continued to walk towards the town.
Wu Zhi was relieved to see the woman's figure disappear around the corner.
……
And the other side.
Chen Ergou took the man to the shop's account room.
The man's face was very solemn, because he had read the contents of the accounts clearly.
"I see!"
The man said to himself.
As he spoke, he lifted his steps and walked inside, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he went.
"Click, click!"
The voice was soft, but it struck the man's heart.
"This account is fake!"
The man must have thought in his heart.
Because the books in the ledger are completely different from those here!
Although on the surface, the account book looks exactly the same, but the contents are strange, this account room not only has thousands of dollars of wealth, but also some other things.
The young man who ran the hall saw the two people who came in and immediately greeted them.
"Guest officer, please inside!"
The young man said with a smile on his face.
Chen Ergou nodded, followed the young man in, and came to the account room.
When I entered the account room, I saw an old man sitting in front of the desk, looking very haggard and his beard was gray.
"Master, why did you go out in person?"
The young man stepped forward and saluted, then asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I just want to check the books myself."
The old man replied lightly.
"Oh, then sir, you take your time, I won't bother."
The young man answered, turned and went out.
Chen Ergou waited beside him.
After a while, the young man walked in from the outside, followed by two strong men.
These people walked up to the old man, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in unison: "See the young master!" ”
"All of you go down!"
The old man waved his hand and commanded.
"Yes!"
The three of them responded respectfully, then got up and retreated.
After they left, the old man said to Chen Ergou, "Little brother, you sit down first." ”
Chen Ergou thanked him, sat down opposite the old man, and spoke after a while, "Uncle, I came here this time to ask you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
The old man asked.
The next moment, the air became dead and eerie.
After a long time, Chen Ergou spoke: "Uncle, I have something I want to ask you about. ”
"Oh, you ask, I must know everything, I must know everything!"
The old man nodded and said.
Chen Ergou pondered for a moment and asked, "Who built this mansion of yours?" ”
Hearing this, the old man smiled.
"Hehe, little brother, you really know how to laugh, this is my family's ancestral, if you want to buy it, then I am willing to cut my love."
The old man said.
Chen Ergou scolded secretly in his heart, but he still pretended to be surprised on the surface, and said, "In this way, my husband is indeed very rich?" ”
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Of course, if you are willing to take out the money to buy it for me, it will be more cost-effective!" ”
Chen Ergou shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't have any plans in this regard, I just want to know, what is your status in this mansion?" ”
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Little brother, how my status has nothing to do with you, you just need to tell me, how much money are you willing to buy my house?" ”
Chen Ergou shook his head and said, "I'm going to decide this mansion!" You can make an offer! ”
"Hehe, since you insist on this, then let me explain, this house is my property, and I will definitely ask for a low price."
The old man said lightly.
Chen Ergou was shocked in his heart and said, "Do you still plan to treat me as a wronged leader?" ”
