Su Yu has been raised for five days, and the spirit head can be regarded as being raised, she does not go out of the yard, she stays at home, there are many things at home, but now her father and mother don't let her do anything, which makes Su Yu very annoyed. I didn't have any free time before, and I was really a little unaccustomed to being idle. She was not afraid of taking medicine before, but she didn't expect Chinese medicine to be so bitter, but she couldn't drink it.

After that, Su Yu found something to do for himself, that is, to go to the study to practice calligraphy, and he hadn't practiced calligraphy well in ancient times, and his hands were a little raw.

When Su Sheng came back, he saw Su Yu practicing calligraphy in the study, and when he saw the words she wrote, his heart suddenly cooled. Practicing casually is better than what he has written after practicing for so long, and now Su Sheng is really a little skeptical, whether they are brothers and sisters or not, why do they all have different brains, but he quickly dispelled this idea.

"Brother, what did you learn in Ethnology today?"

"Daddy said, don't let you hurt your mind these days, and after you are poisoned, I will slowly make up for you."

Su Yu pouted, full of unhappiness, knowing that her father and mother were doing this for her good, so she had to go out of the house, and she couldn't learn well in this big brother.

Su Yu didn't see Su Sheng behind him and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the mountains pressing on his body had been removed, and his whole body was comfortable.

Yu Zheng didn't go to the Su family in the past few days, but he was a little unaccustomed to it, so he asked Qinglin to inquire about the situation on the Su family's side, and knew that Su Yu was all right, so his heart was steady.

"Master, Uncle Yu said that there is a medicine in the antidote that is extremely difficult to find, and he doesn't have it in his hand."

"You let our people look for it, and within a month, we must find the medicine no matter what, and it will cost as much money as it takes."

Qinglin knew that this was the result, and he didn't think there was anything.

"Yes, master."

"Also, send someone to find out who poisoned Su Yu."

"Master, our people can't make a big move now, now go to find out about Miss Su's poisoning, if you let that side find out, all these years of hard work will be in vain."

Yu Zheng thought about it.

"That's it, there's no hurry to do this in a day or two, let's check it later."

"Yes, master."

When Qinglin came out of the house, Yu Zheng took out a scroll from the cabinet on the side and opened it, and a woman was painted on it, in her twenties, the woman had gentle eyebrows and eyes, and was holding a fan in her hand.

"Mother."

Yu Zheng let out a low voice, looked at it for a while, silently rolled up the painting, and then took it back into the cabinet and locked it.

Li Quan only learned that the girl had been poisoned when he came back that night, so he went to the old lady and swore a poisonous oath, and continued to see the shop the next day. It's just that the whole person looks much more stable than before, and now that the girl has been poisoned, he must not let the girl worry about the things in the shop.

The business in the shop is still the same, there is no business, except that the soap is still selling well. At first, Li Quan was still a little worried, but when he saw that he had never stopped cooking at home, he immediately didn't worry that the shop would not be able to open, the girl must have her intention to do this, he just had to do it.

On this day, Li Quan looked at the shop as usual, but two strong men came to the store, and they didn't buy anything when they came.

"Boy, call your hosts out."

"Two, our owner is not in the shop, you can tell me something, I will convey it on your behalf."

"You?"

A strong man looked Li Quan up and down.

"It's okay to tell you, you go back and tell your owner, this street is under the control of our Liang Ye, Ming'er we are going to collect protection money, your shop is two taels a month, let him prepare the silver at the end of each month, don't blame the brothers for not reminding them when the time comes, if the silver can't be taken out."

The strong man glanced at the bacon hanging in the shop.

"Then take your bacon."

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring this to my host."

As for whether to give money or not, Li Quan didn't say this, it's not for him to decide.

The two saw that Li Quan was quite honest, but they didn't embarrass him, and left after speaking.

In the afternoon, Li Quan closed the shop early, and when he returned home, he originally wanted to go directly to the girl to tell him, but when he thought of the poison in the girl, he went to the master.

"Master, there are two men in the shop today, saying that they are Liang Ye's subordinates, and they will come to collect protection money tomorrow, two taels of silver every month, and they will come to take it tomorrow, whether we will give this silver or not?"

There are land snakes in every place, in the past, when Su Lao Er carried a big bag at the wharf, there were also land snakes on the wharf, and if they wanted to work in the wharf, they had to pay a hundred Wen every month, even if they reported to the Yamen, the people of the Yamen would not care, but whether it was too much silver to pay two taels a month, whether to pay it or not, Su Lao Er really couldn't make up his mind.

"You go down first, and I'll tell you tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir."

After Li Quan left, Su Lao Er thought about it and went to Su Yu's house.

"Girl, have you slept?"

"Dad, I haven't slept yet."

Hearing his daughter's voice, Su Lao Er pushed the door and entered the house.

It's not early today, and this little dad is still here, thinking about what's going on.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Su Lao Er touched his head.

"Girl, my father originally wanted you to have a good rest, but there is something I can't get for sure, there are two men in the shop today who said that they want to pay protection money, so that they can prepare two taels of silver tomorrow, saying that they will have to pay every month in the future, what is the matter?"

In Su Yu's opinion, this matter is not a problem at all.

"Dad, you go to the town with Li Quan tomorrow, go to Taihe Building to find the cattle shopkeeper, and ask him if there is such a rule in the town, if there is such a rule, we will pay the money, if not, the money will not have to be paid. You just need to tell the cow shopkeeper, and the cow shopkeeper will solve the rest for you. ”

Su Lao Er thought about it, how could he forget the cow shopkeeper.

"Dad knows, girl, go to sleep quickly, tomorrow Dad will go to town with Li Quan."

Early the next morning, Su Lao Er followed Li Quan to the town and went directly to Taihe Building.

"Brother Su, why are you here today, have your duck seedlings hatched?"

"Out, my family is raising for a few days, so let the villagers lead the family to raise, I came because I want to ask Brother Niu."

"What's the matter, what else is there to be polite with me."

"My family opened a small shop in the town, yesterday someone went to the shop and said, let a person named Liang Ye pay two taels of silver protection fee every month, my family doesn't understand the rules of this town, I want to ask you whether this protection fee should be paid? They said they would come and collect it today. ”

"This is yours, why do you have to inform my brother if your family opens a shop in the town."

"It's just around the corner of East Street, and it's selling some of the family's own output, it's not a big deal, and I didn't say anything when I opened it."

"I don't have anything to do at this time, I'll go over with you to take a look, you don't have to pay the protection fee, I'll solve this matter for you."

Su Lao Er thought to himself, what the girl said was really right, this matter is not a problem at all when it comes to the shopkeeper of the cow.

Taihe Building is open on the main street of East Street, and the shop of the Su family is on the corner of East Street, which is really close, and a few people will arrive in a quarter of an hour.

Li Quan stepped forward to open the shop, and the shopkeeper Niu walked around the shop, and when he saw it, he put a few things on the table, and felt that the Su family was a bit overkill to open this shop.

"Brother Su, there are only a few things you sell in your shop?"
