Chapter 144: Surrender and Seek Leadership
Liu Chu dreamed that he was skating on the ice, he had never skated before, but he skated very well, and just as he was having fun, a fish suddenly flew out from under the ice.
The fish broke through the ice, jumped out of the water in front of Liu Chu, and hit Liu Chu on the chest with his tail.
Liu Chu felt a tightness in his chest, and then the fish actually spoke: "Get up, I'm still sleeping!"
Looking at the closed fish mouth, Liu Chu woke up in an instant, and then sat up from the quilt, standing next to him was October who had just closed his feet, it turned out that October saw that Liu Chu hadn't woken up yet, so he kicked him.
"Big brother, you grinded your teeth all night last night, and it only stopped for a while in the morning, and I just slept for a long time. Liu Chu's whole person was stunned, and he was tormented by the sound of grinding teeth in October yesterday.
"What's wrong with grinding your teeth? You don't grind your teeth when your body is growing?" October took off his shoes and stepped on Liu Chu with big feet.
"Hey, there are actually three moles under your feet! Could it be that you are the legendary chosen one?" Liu Chu grabbed October's ankle and looked at the smooth soles of his feet that were close at hand, and said in shock.
"Heaven choose your sister, let me go!" October thrashed his feet hard.
As soon as Liu Chu let go, he fell backwards in October, and the whole person fell heavily on the bed, but fortunately the bed was soft.
October stood up again and glared at Liu Chu.
"You made me go, don't blame me. Liu Chu spread his hands.
Stomping in October, that's it, do you want to find your daughter-in-law in the future?
October finished lunch with a black face, and then went to the yamen with Liu Chu, and the two didn't say a word during the whole process.
After arriving at the yamen, He Bu was already waiting at the door, with a bright smile on his face, but he was keenly aware that something seemed to be wrong between Liu Chu and October, which could be found by looking at the direction of the two of them walking and the expressions on their faces.
Of course, it was more of a clue found on October's face, which was to write anger on his face, but on the other hand, Liu Chu was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
He Bu thought about it a little, and probably understood, probably because the two of them had a conflict, and this Liu Chu was stupid and didn't know what he was wrong.
"Hello two, I don't know what to call them?" He Bu asked with a smile.
"My name is Liu Chu, you should know me, right? Liu Chu replied, October was silent on the side.
He Bu's face changed slightly, and then said: "Recognize it, it's all already picked, let's go to the field now?"
"Okay. Liu Chu nodded.
He Bu asked people to pull up the carriage that had been prepared, and then the three of them took the carriage to the peach blossom house in the south of the city.
When Liu Chu and the others arrived at the Peach Blossom Mansion, Wang Tu also happened to arrive in a carriage.
When Wang Tu got out of the car, he had two faint dark circles under his eyes, and his spirit looked a little sluggish, which made He Bu frown slightly, and secretly scolded something ignorant, knowing that there was something big to do today, even if he went to Peach Blossom Building to be happy, he was still so depressed, how strong is this desire?
When Wang Tu saw Liu Chu and October, he immediately cheered up, and walked over to greet the two with a smile, but the smile looked a little cautious, and it was better not to smile.
"What do you two look like here?" He Bu was afraid that Liu Chu and the others would pay attention to Wang Tu, so he hurriedly turned the topic over and talked about the residence.
"The location is good, satisfied, go to the next place. October nodded, and sat in the carriage all the way, and the stuffiness of October morning seemed to have disappeared.
"Little lady, this is the only place. He Bu said.
October was stunned when she heard this, but for some reason, she felt that it was very useful, so she didn't refute it.
"Only one?" asked Ten, who wanted thirty residences.
"Little lady, it is like this, this residential area has just been built, and there are thirty-two residences in all, all of which have not yet been owned. At the request of the little lady, thirty dwellings were all together. In addition, the little lady bought thirty residences at one time, and the remaining two residences in them, we can decide to give you the right to use them, no money. He Bu explained with a smile.
October gave He Bu a thumbs up and asked, "How much does it cost?"
"Eight thousand taels of gold for each dwelling, and the price of ninety percent is five, which is a total of two hundred and twenty-eight thousand taels of gold, plus a fee of three hundred taels of silver. He Bu said.
October rummaged through his body, found a few silver tickets, and said, "There are a total of 2.3 million taels of silver tickets here, which belong to Hehuo Qianzhuang." If you keep the more for yourself, it will be hard work. ”
Liu Chu felt a little heartache, this hardship fee is 2,000 taels of gold! This ruined girl! How can there be such a hard effort.
Wang Tu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that with an extra windfall, he would be able to have two thousand taels of gold in his account!
After a while, Liu Chu suddenly understood that October was to not owe favors.
Eight thousand taels of gold to buy this residence, must take advantage of it, this place is excellent in terms of environment and location, and you can get to the downtown in half a column of incense on foot.
Moreover, if a residential area is sold as a whole, the price will definitely be higher, but He Bu only charged such a small amount of money.
They already owe a favor.
Giving enough errands at this time in October is tantamount to showing that the two do not owe each other. After all, personal debt is the hardest thing to repay.
"Little lady, this is what I should do, no. He Bu hurriedly refused.
"Take it, it's to thank you. "Forcibly stuffed to Hob in October.
"I ......" He Bu wanted to stuff it back, but he was afraid that he would run into something that should not be touched by October in the process of prevarication, so he was a little uncomfortable now, and he really couldn't ask for this hard money.
Doesn't taking the hardship fee mean giving up the relationship that was hard to climb?
"Lord He, this is their heart, you can take it. Wang Tu took advantage of He Bu's inattention and snatched the silver ticket directly from He Bu's mobile phone.
He Bu looked at his empty hands, turned his head to look at Wang Tu who was counting the money happily, and his heart was full of anger, his future was ruined by this greedy and lustful dog official!
He Bu took a few deep breaths to keep himself calm, there was still a chance to make amends, he couldn't lose his temper in front of Liu Chu and October.
"Little lady, this is the title deed, you take it and draw a handprint, and I will handle the other formalities. He Bu pulled out the deed and red ink from his bosom.
October nodded, dipped his hand in red ink, and drew a pledge on several deeds.
"It's hard work next. "October said thank you.
"It's not hard, it's all what I'm supposed to do. Hobb was even more humble.
"Lord He, I'm going to trouble you one more thing. October said.
The little lady said. "He Bu was happy in his heart, it's good to trouble me, I'm afraid that you won't trouble me!
"You find someone to do the cleaning, and you clean the vacant house regularly every month, and it may be a long time before anyone moves in. How much does it cost each month, you can write directly to the Shiquan Dart Bureau in Chang'an Xing'an City to reimburse. Here are 10,000 taels of silver, take it first, after all, you can't advance money. October said.
"Don't worry, I'll do it beautifully. He Bu patted his chest and reassured.
"Well, then we'll go first. October nodded.
"Wait, the little lady has bought so many houses at once, it is time to celebrate, I have prepared a banquet, and please appreciate your face. He Bu said that this was another plan he had prepared to get close to Liu Chu.
"Yes. "October wanted to refuse, but I thought that it was just time to go back for dinner, and since someone had a treat, it didn't matter if I had a meal, it didn't matter if I owed a favor.
So, Liu Chu and October got into the carriage again and went to the place where the banquet was eaten with He Bu.
When the carriage was halfway through, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums outside, and someone shouted: "Congratulations to the October girl for successfully purchasing thirty houses in the Peach Blossom Mansion." ”
Shouting while striking the gong, knocking and shouting, shouting and knocking, it is quite rhythmic.
Outside became more and more lively, Liu Chu and October couldn't help but poke their heads out of the carriage, and saw the streamers flying outside, surrounded by people watching the excitement, and people beating gongs and drumming suona in front and back of the carriage.
October retracted his head and lowered the curtain, glaring at Liu Chu opposite.
Liu Chu smiled bitterly, He Bu's arrangement was actually to please him.
By being kind to October, to please Liu Chu. It's a bit like a "curve to save the country" strategy.
He Bu thought he was doing a good job, but he didn't know that he hadn't found out the relationship between Liu Chu and October, and the two were not husband and wife at all.
But for October, Liu Chu really cares.
The four of them came to a very high-end restaurant, the restaurant had been chartered by He Bu, and there were only four of them in the audience, and they would not be disturbed by anyone.
The dishes are delicious and full of color.
During this period, only Wang Tu was like a fool, constantly drinking, and Liu Chu, October and He Bu only touched a glass at the beginning.
After a while, Wang Tu actually drank himself down.
"Xiaguan He Bu, meet the major general. Seeing that Wang Tu had stopped moving, He Bu got up and saluted Liu Chu.
"You don't have to worship me, my official position is lower than yours. Liu Chu waved his hand.
"In the minds of my generation, the general has always been a legendary god of war, the heir of the general, and he deserves the gift of being a lower official. He Bu said.
"Lord He, I know what you think, but I can't give you anything. Liu Chu directly ended the topic.
"Young General, give the lower officer a chance! Although the lower official's ability is less than one-tenth of his ancestor's, the lower official will definitely assist the young general wholeheartedly. He Bu knelt down, this was an opportunity he had to seize.
"Who is your ancestor?" asked Liu Chu.
"He Jianghu. Ho Bu replied.
Liu Chu's eyes widened, and October also put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at He Bu in surprise.
"Buy a He Jianghu who wrote "The Chronicles of the World's Rivers and Lakes"?" asked Liu Chu.
"It was written by our ancestors. He Bu nodded.
Liu Chu and October glanced at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes, He Bu turned out to be the descendant of He Jianghu who wrote the strange book "Chronicles of the Rivers and Lakes of the World".
