Chapter 49: The Seed

As soon as he entered the hall, Kang Youfu knelt down at Zhu Shencone without saying a word, and kowtowed vigorously.

"What is this for? Get up, get up, I can't afford it. Zhu Shencone hurriedly helped him up.

"Sixth master, your great kindness is difficult to repay, thanks to your help to my Kang family, this is the only way to escape the catastrophe, if it weren't for your kindness, my Kang family may have been ruined at this time. Sixth master, you let the little one thank you well, and in the future, the little one will be a cow and a horse for the sixth master, and you will never give up! ”

It doesn't have to be that way...... It doesn't have to be ....... Zhu Shencone dragged Kang Youfu up from the ground, saw that Kang Youfu's forehead was bruised, couldn't help but blame him, and pulled him to sit down.

"Where in the world is there more than a life-saving grace? The sixth master ....... ”

Without waiting for Kang Youfu to finish speaking, Zhu Shencone waved his hand and said: "There is no need to mention it, since we met once we met is fate, and you know this matter in your heart, since you can find the door, I'm afraid you also know my identity, right?" So there's no need to publicize this, it's not good for you and me to spread it. ”

"The little one understands, understands ......." Kang Youfu nodded again and again, as Zhu Shencone said, he was able to find this place today naturally to inquire about Zhu Shencon's identity and origin, otherwise because of this incident, Kang Youfu didn't know that Zhu Shencone was actually a clan.

For the little people, the clan is high, you must know that this world is their old Zhu family.

Although there are many clans that have had an unsatisfactory life over the years, in any case, the identity of the clan is not comparable to ordinary people, and if it weren't for Zhu Shencone's help, the final result would be terrible.

I made a cup of hot tea and let Kang Youfu warm up first, this journey is hard enough, and there is still snow outside today.

While waiting for Kang Youfu to drink tea, Zhu Shencone and Yan Yuese asked them about the current situation of the Kang family, and Kang Youfu told Zhu Shencone that after the lawsuit was over, his father and second brother were released, and the Kang family's tofu workshop was reopened in the past two days.

However, his father and younger brother suffered a lot in prison, Kang Youlu was young, and the problem of physical strength was not too big, and his body was only a few external injuries, which could be healed after a few days of rest.

But the situation of the father Kang Tai was not very good, and when he came back, he was bedridden, and asked Lang Zhong to see it, saying that he had suffered in prison and was frightened, and he was also old, and his body bones were also damaged.

These days, I've gotten a little better with the medicine, but I can't work for the time being. The Kang family tofu workshop is temporarily maintained by him and his second brother, but because the previous lawsuit has damaged the reputation of the Kang family's tofu, the current business in the shop is not very good, and it is not even half of the previous business compared to the original business.

"It's not easy for something like this to happen at home, but it's good that people can come back, and the others can take their time and come back. If you need help somewhere, you're welcome, I'll definitely help if I can. ”

"Sixth Master Xie, you really don't know how to thank the little ones for what you said. You're right, it's good for people to come back, and business can always be slowed down, my Kang family has been in Pingyang Mansion for so many years, although such a thing happened, but I think it will be fine in the future. Kang Youfu nodded movingly.

After sitting and chatting for a while, Zhu Shencone asked about the end of the lawsuit again, and asked with concern whether Liu Qi had trouble with their Kang family later, and if so, just tell himself.

"I'm worried about the sixth master, Liu Qi didn't come to trouble after the lawsuit, but I heard that behind my back, I didn't spread bad words about my Kang family outside." Kang Youfu looked angry, and said to Zhu Shencheng: "You should have guessed correctly last time, nine times out of ten, this matter is that Liu Qi is targeting our Kang family behind his back, and the purpose is to use this incident to bring down our Kang family, and then take away our Kang family's workshop and yard." ”

"What about the Liu family? Is it Liu Shancheng Liu's old man's house? ”

"The Liu family is nothing, after the lawsuit was over, the housekeeper of the Liu family came to our Kang's house yesterday and said a few beautiful words, so that my family could send tofu over as before in the past few days. However, the steward of the Liu family also revealed a layer of meaning in his words, saying that the reason why my father and second brother were able to come back was because Mr. Liu helped our family greet our family at the county office. Speaking of this, Kang Youfu sneered: "The Liu family is really a good calculation, I didn't even let me in when I came to the door, but now that the lawsuit is over, the credit for the Liu family has been made?" I'm not stupid, how can I believe his nonsense? However, in front of the Liu family's steward, I still thanked him a thousand times, saying that the tofu sent back would not cost money, which could be regarded as a thank you for the kindness of Master Liu. ”

Saying this, Kang Youfu sneered, and it could be seen that he had been disgusted by the shamelessness of the Liu family, coupled with the relationship between Liu Qi and the Liu family, Kang Youfu hated the entire Liu family so much.

"Well, it's okay for you to be like this, after all, the Liu family has a big business, and it is not something that ordinary people like you can touch. As the saying goes, suffering is a blessing, and if they want this good reputation, they can go with them, as long as they know it in their hearts. Zhu Shencone nodded, and said a fair word, which was also a consolation.

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and there is always retribution for doing too much of this unfortunate thing. Back then, Gou Jian was still lying on his salary and tasting his guts, even if he couldn't get angry in his heart, he had to hold his breath. As for the Liu family, hehe, if you walk a lot at night, you will always run into ghosts, what do you say? ”

Kang Youfu nodded silently, although he didn't say anything more, but Zhu Shencone saw something unusual in his flashing eyes.

Once a seed of hatred is planted, then the future has the possibility of blossoming and bearing fruit.

Kang Youfu is not like his father Kang Tai, and he is also different from his younger brother Kang Youlu, he is very clever when he does business, and he is really smart, and this time the Kang family suffered such a big loss, if it wasn't for Zhu Shencone to help, what would happen to the Kang family, Kang Youfu knew very well in his heart.

These are all thanks to the Liu family, although the real enemy is Liu Qi, but if it weren't for Liu Shancheng, a hypocrite, to help Liu Qi, how could Liu Qi have such a thought? And what Liu Shancheng did made Kang Youfu angry, no matter what, their family and the Liu family can be regarded as a friendship for several generations, even if Liu Shancheng doesn't help each other, he can't fall into the well like this.

From this point of view, Kang Youfu hates Liu Shancheng more than Liu Qi, and he knows better in his heart that as long as the Liu family is standing, then he has no way to take Liu Qi, and if he wants to take revenge, he has to bring down the Liu family. But how to bring down the Liu family? For a while, Kang Youfu thought of it.

I didn't stay long on Zhu Shencone's side, there was still business in the tofu workshop, and Kang Youfu had to hurry back for a while.

When leaving, taking advantage of Kang Youfu's inattention, Zhu Shencone quietly stuffed some money under Kang Youfu's tofu burden, which was considered the cost of buying his tofu.

It wasn't until Kang Youfu carried the burden back to the shop to clean up that he found that when he saw this, Kang Youfu was stunned for a moment, picked up the string of money, and his heart was moved, and tears couldn't help but fall.

In the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and it is time to approach the wax moon.

On this day, in Zhu Qiuqi's small courtyard, Zhu Shenchong, Zhu Minfeng, Zhu Minqi and Zhu Qiuqi sat around, with a steaming copper pot on the table, eating shabu-shabu.

The shabu-shabu thing was introduced by the Mongols in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, this way of eating continued. There are few in the south, but it is common in the north, especially in Shanxi and close to the border pass, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia has eased a lot in the past two years, and the border trade has also opened, and the cattle and sheep from Mongolia have come in a lot through the border trade.

Compared with other places, sheep in Shanxi are much cheaper, but as meat is not something that ordinary people can eat often. If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Qiuqi got some mutton this time, and Zhu Shencone gave them a little silver, they would not be willing to eat such a luxurious way.

These days, because of Zhu Shencong, the life of the three of them is much better than before, especially Zhu Minqi, the most populous person in the family, at least the family does not have to think about the problem of not being able to eat for the time being, although it can't be said that there are big fish and meat, but it is no problem to eat two meals a day.

The improvement of the family situation made the three people who were already close to Zhu Shencone a little more intimate, plus the two hundred and five promised by Zhu Shencone before, the three of them are still looking forward to getting things done and making another payment.

Today's gathering was convened by Zhu Qiuqi, on the one hand, it is rare to have a shabu-shabu shabu and beat the tooth sacrifice, and on the other hand, I also want to ask Zhu Shencone about the follow-up arrangements.

Seeing that it was almost the New Year if it continued like this, and the matter about the Liu family had not yet made any progress, several of them couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After meeting, a few words of greeting, everyone sat down and ate the shabu-shabu first, although the mutton is not much, but there are other side dishes, especially fish fillets, radish, tofu These things, in the pot to eat, but also eat everyone eyebrows and smile chopsticks non-stop.

The wind and clouds were swept for a while, and when his stomach was seven or eight points full, Zhu Qiuqi stopped the movements in his hand, touched the slightly raised belly, picked up the wine jug on the side and poured wine for Zhu Shencong, saying that it was rare to eat such a shabu-shabu today, thanks to his uncle's care.
