Chapter 54 To each according to his needs
It didn't take long for the three of them to come to the dealer's house.
Sure enough, it is a famous family, just looking at the gate is such a style, the vermilion is still so bright, and it shows an unparalleled majesty invisibly.
Chu Ziliu's eyes were straight.
Shen Shuiji was also secretly happy in his heart, if he could really take this place for himself, then he would not have to worry about gaining a foothold in Lingyun Mountain.
"Godfather, godmother, please come in. Zhuang Zhongren hurriedly said.
After entering the door, Chu Ziliu and Shen Shuiji were even more eye-opening.
The whole dealer's yard, no, not a yard at all, but a manor.
The wide avenue, with towering ancient trees on both sides, looks so old, and it is worth mentioning that the whole atmosphere is so solemn, and there is really a sense of awe.
Chu Zi was full of flowers, and kept giving Shen Shuiji a look.
I don't know how long I walked on such an avenue, but the three of them finally came to the lobby.
"Young Master, are you back?" a servant greeted him.
"Yes, yes, quick, go and get the young grandmother here. Zhuang Zhongren commanded.
"But," said the servant, stumbling.
"But what?" Zhuang Zhongren was a little unhappy.
"The young grandmother is watching the play, and you know that when she is watching the play, others can't disturb her. ”
"Bastard. What kind of drama to watch, every day I know what to say, fast, just say that there is a distinguished guest at home, if she doesn't come, don't blame me for being unkind. Zhuang Zhongren roared angrily.
"Yes," the servant walked away.
"Godfather and godmother, let you laugh, my daughter-in-law, is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, she is always watching the show, don't worry, I will ask her to compensate you for the second elder later." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Chu Ziliu said with a smile.
"Godfather and godmother, don't stand still, sit down quickly, I'll serve you tea." After saying that, Zhuang Zhongren went to work.
"Look, concubine, it's really nice here. When the time comes, we'll get it, and then you'll be blessed with me. Chu Ziliu saw that Zhuang Zhongren was gone, and finally found an opportunity to say the words from his heart to Shen Shuiji along the way.
"Master, don't be impatient, don't show too obviously, let's wait and see, this matter must not be rushed. Shen Shuiji said.
Then, Zhuang Zhongren walked in again, holding a teapot in his hand.
"Come, godfather godmother, hurry up and drink some of our tea, this is my father's most precious thing, and then left it to me, no, I have not been willing to drink it myself, it turned out to be waiting to honor my godfather and godmother." ”
"Good, good. The two of them were also very happy when they saw Zhuang Zhongren being so polite.
"Who is coming, and you want me to greet you in person?" At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the door.
Shen Shuiji looked up.
Walking in was a woman about the same age as herself, with a good appearance and a good figure, dressed in silk and satin, and at first glance she was a rich lady. The most important thing is that this woman's face is pretentious, and it is conceivable that she must be used to a pampered life on weekdays.
"Shut up. Zhuang Zhongren said to the woman who had just entered the door.
"Why, am I not right? What kind of distinguished guest? Your dealer is now considered to be in the middle of the family, what other noble guest can there be? I married you for eight lifetimes. The woman was not convinced and retorted.
As if he had been hit by his own hard wound, Zhuang Zhongren was furious all of a sudden, and said: "Let me tell you, from today onwards, Lao Tzu and I will be transferred." ”
"Hmph, you're transporting? ”
"Okay, okay, there's something to say. Chu Ziliu looked at the two people in front of him who were full of gunpowder smell, and then he couldn't help but dissuade them.
"I'll clean you up later. Godfather, let you see a smile. ”
"Godfather?" Hearing Zhuang Zhongren's words, the woman exclaimed in surprise.
"Why, let me tell you, from now on, this Master Chu Ziliu will be my godfather, and this will be my godmother. After Zhuang Zhongren finished speaking, he pointed at Shen Shuiji.
The woman's face was full of surprise.
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up, say hello to my godfather and godmother. Zhuang Zhongren ordered.
"Zhuang Zhongren, are you crazy? How can you be like this, your father and mother are still alive. The woman said angrily.
"Hmph, they don't want me anymore, and even gave the lotus flowers to the Zhong family, isn't this going to cut off my way, in my heart, they are no longer my parents. Hurry, hurry up and salute your godfather and godmother. ”
"You madman," the woman trembled with anger.
"You" Zhuang Zhongren was also angry, and he was about to fight.
"What's wrong with me, you forgot, these people have just come to Lingyun Mountain, do you know the details of the people? A few days ago, I thought that their casino almost wanted Master Zhong to know, but now, not only do you not repent, but instead recognize the thief as your father, you are simply hopeless." ”
Zhuang Zhongren saw that his daughter-in-law was so faceless in front of outsiders, and then he was so angry that he couldn't control it, and slapped his daughter-in-law fiercely.
Shen Shuiji hurriedly supported Zhuang Zhongren's daughter-in-law, who was beaten and almost fell.
"Let go, shameless man. The woman suddenly pushed Shen Shuiji away and said sharply.
None of the people present expected that Zhuang Zhongren's wife would say this.
"Bastard thing, you actually said this to your godmother, your godmother was kind enough to save you, but you,"
"Godmother?" Before Zhuang Zhongren could finish speaking, the woman said angrily: "Can a woman like her be worthy of me calling her a godmother?" Zhuang Zhongren, I don't care what you do, don't pull me to be as lowly as you. ”
Then, the woman looked at Shen Shuiji again, her face was full of contempt, and said: "Shen Shuiji, don't think I don't know, the entire Lingyun Mountain has spread, you are a shameless person, unscrupulous for money, look at your appearance, you are about the same age as me." However, it really makes me feel ashamed that you are married to an old man who is about to enter the coffin. ”
The woman's words left Shen Shuiji without any room for rebuttal.
Because, this woman, everything she says is the truth.
Shen Shuiji, who was young, married Lai Chu for money.
I don't have any feelings for this Chu Ziliu, who is already in his twilight years, and what I have is greed for Chu's money.
"Bastard. Zhuang Zhong was speechless.
After the woman finished what she wanted to say, she saw that Shen Shuiji was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, and knew that her words really worked, and then she left satisfied.
"Godmother, don't be surprised, my daughter-in-law is not a thing, you don't care about villains, don't be like her. Zhuang Zhongren hurriedly accompanied him.
"It's fine. Shen Shuiji said coldly.
It's just that this scene just now not only made Shen Shuiji feel embarrassed, but even Chu Ziliu felt very unhappy.
"Godfather," Seeing that Shen Shuiji didn't have a good face, Zhuang Zhongren asked Chu Ziliu tentatively.
"Forget it, it's not too early, we're going back. Chu Ziliu said unhappily.
"What's the matter? Godfather and godmother are leaving, this is just coming, and I haven't led my godfather and godmother around my house yet. Moreover, how can there be a reason to leave without eating, godfather and godmother, I think about it, you two elders will follow me to the backyard for a turn, and then discuss the matter of opening a casino, and finally finish eating at my house, I will entertain the second elder well, don't leave tonight, just live in my guest room, tomorrow morning, I will personally send the second elder back. Zhuang Zhongren said flatteringly.
"This," Chu Ziliu looked at Shen Shuiji.
"Master, since that's the case, then let's stay, after all, we still have to discuss the matter of opening a casino. Shen Shuiji said.
I didn't expect Shen Shuiji, who had suffered so much grievance, to say such things at this moment.
Then, the three of them went to the backyard together.
Like the front yard, the backyard is also quite magnificent, and it is also very private, which is indeed a good place to open a casino.
Afterwards, the three of them began to discuss the price for a while, and Zhuang Zhongren also instructed the kitchen to prepare a delicious and sumptuous dinner.
After eating, Zhuang Zhongren took Chu Ziliu and Shen Shuiji to the guest room, and then said: "Godfather and godmother, the second elder is also tired today, so let's rest here early, if there is anything to order." ”
After speaking, Zhuang Zhongren left.
Only Chu Ziliu and Shen Shuiji were left in the room.
In fact, since Zhuang Zhongren's wife said something like that, Chu Ziliu saw that Shen Shuiji's face had been bad, although he didn't show it too much, he must still not have passed this hurdle in his heart.
"Concubine, you see how magnificent the dealer is, when the time comes, when we get it, we can enjoy it well. In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Chu Ziliu said.
Shen Shuiji didn't speak, just nodded.
"Concubine, you say, how long do we have to wait?"
"Master, I said, this matter really can't be rushed, we have to wait until Zhuang Zhongren is completely chained, and then we can win the battle. Looking at the old man's anxious look, Shen Shuiji said.
"Ai concubine, you say, why don't we use Zhuang Zhongren's chess piece to deal with the Zhong family, and then find a way to get the lotus, so that we can live forever. ”
"Master, you are always too easy to trust others, this Zhuang Zhongren, we don't know much about him, and we don't know if he is reliable or not. ”
"However, judging from today's situation, this Zhuang Zhongren is really obedient, not only recognizing us as godfathers and godmothers, but also beating his own wife for us. ”
"Master, although Zhuang Zhongren's performance is good today, we still can't take it lightly, in short, master, you must calm down, at this stage, don't trust anyone first. ”
After listening to Shen Shuiji's words, Chu Ziliu felt that it made sense.
"That's right," Seeing that Shen Shuiji's mood improved, the old man spoke: "Concubine Ai, there is one thing I want to ask you." ”
"Sir, you say. ”
"What do you think of what Zhuang Zhongren's wife said today?" Chu Ziliu asked tentatively.
"What do you think?" Shen Shuiji glanced at the old man and said.
"I know, not only her, but many people are rumoring that you are with me for my money, concubine, I want to know, is this true, I want to know, do you love my money, or do you love my people?"
Shen Shuiji didn't expect Chu Ziliu to ask her like this.
"Why, concubine, don't you want to say it? forget it, forget it, forget it if you don't want to say it. ”
"Master, there is nothing I want to say that I don't want to say, it's just that since the master asked me, then, I also have one thing I want to ask the master. ”
"Concubine, you say. ”
"The lord asks me if I love your money, or the person who loves you, then I want to ask the lord, are you the one who loves me, or do you love my beauty and youth?"
Shen Shuiji's words made Chu Ziliu not know how to answer for a while.
Yes, if Shen Shuiji was a mediocre-looking person or an old and decrepit person, Chu Ziliu would definitely not be like today.
Seeing that Chu Ziliu didn't speak, Shen Shuiji spoke: "Master, so, there are some things, don't just think about other people's purposes, you should also think about your own goals, many things don't need to be figured out, and the truth will sometimes make everyone feel embarrassed." Taking what you need and being at peace with each other is the best state. ”
"Okay, concubine, it's not early, let's rest. ”
Chu Ziliu knew that there was no longer any need for such a conversation, so in order to alleviate such embarrassment, the two of them stopped talking and rested early.
And in another room in this courtyard, there is also a husband and wife, talking.
"When I beat you today, my hand was heavy, does it hurt?" Zhuang Zhongren asked guiltily while hugging his wife.
The wife shook her head.
"Thanks to you today. After speaking, Zhuang Zhongren kissed his wife.
"It's okay, as long as they believe it, it's not in vain that we carefully arranged it yesterday. The wife said softly.
"Yes, it seems that Chu Ziliu and Shen Shuiji really believe it. is the only way to make them unwary of me, but I have wronged you. Zhuang Zhongren looked at his wife in his arms lovingly.
"Zhongren, you say, what are the intentions of these two people here?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to be a pawn in their hands anyway, I just want to use them to open a casino and have fun, but if they want something else from me, you're welcome. ”
