Chapter 363: Xu Zongzhen and his useless subordinates
"I heard that Lord Xu made great contributions in the fight against the Hu people and was given a lot of rewards by the emperor. He should not care about the small amount of money from our shop, right?" Shopkeeper Jing said meaningfully!
Leading Soldier: ...
He shouted in his heart, My lord, you said you have so much money, why do you have to eat and drink for free?
Xu Yan's men hiding behind the pillars were also shocked. The person who came was General Xu?
He came to Guancheng?
What is the purpose?
Xu Yan's men couldn't help but want to find out, but seeing that the few people over there were still arguing, they knew that since they had already settled down, they couldn't run away.
It’s more important to tell the young master first!
After he quickly returned to the backyard and met with the other two, he decided to wait until the eldest son woke up, and then sent another person to monitor the front!
When I returned to the lobby again, the person who was negotiating with Manager Jing had changed!
If you are not mistaken, these seven people are lined up in pairs and take turns to move forward?
No matter they tried to persuade him kindly or threaten him, Shopkeeper Jing could always turn the topic to money without changing his expression!
He is so eloquent that it scares people.
Xu Yan blinked his eyes and said he must tell the eldest master that he cannot owe a penny!
The seven soldiers were already thirsty, and the last one slammed the table and said, "Manager Jing, don't blame me for not warning you. If we let our masters come down, it will be a different scene!"
No one will say anything even if I kill you on the spot!
Shopkeeper Jing's expression remained unchanged as he said with a smile, "Then please ask Lord Xu to come down. I'm sure He Shu, who's in the backyard right now, is also curious about how much compensation he'll receive today!"
puff--
All the anger is gone!
The seven people looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds: No wonder they can make more than 3,000 taels a day, Manager Jing's ability is really enviable!
Seeing them leave in defeat, Manager Jing quickly started welcoming guests and sent someone to find Master Wen or Master Luo to explain the situation!
After resting for half a day, Mr. Xu came down and saw the bustling lobby. He thought he had come to the wrong place.
He turned around and shot a sharp look at his men.
Several people lowered their heads!
Looking again, it seemed that the newly appointed Magistrate Wang was among the people eating in the lobby. General Xu pursed his lips, knowing that clearing the area was impossible!
I didn’t expect that a restaurant could invite the prefect to take charge!
Mr. Xu walked over with a smile on his face!
In a room not far from the lobby, Wen Baolu lifted the curtain with his fingers. Luo Xiao was standing nearby and asked Shopkeeper Jing, "Is that the one with the surname Xu?"
"Yes, the two gentlemen still have a way, and they actually invited the prefect to take charge!"
Luo Xiao smiled. How could they possibly invite the prefect?
Wang Qin, who had shares, heard that someone didn't want to pay and wanted to book the entire theater, so he complained directly to his father.
Of course, I can't tolerate losing my own money!
So that’s what happened just now!
He Shu was sitting at the same table with Magistrate Wang. It was only when General Xu came forward that he noticed He Shu, but it was too late to stop.
The other party was surprised as if he had discovered a new world: "Hey, isn't this Lord Xu? Why did you come to our Guancheng?"
The two had different values and had been on bad terms for a long time. Listening to the other's sarcastic voice, General Xu snorted coldly: "Can't I come to Guancheng?"
He sat down in the place farthest away from He Shu, and then greeted Magistrate Wang with a smile!
Although he couldn't hear any talking from this side, Luo Xiao knew that this General Xu couldn't expect to get any advantage.
"Alright, if there's anything unusual again, feel free to send someone to the Luo Mansion to ask me!"
Shopkeeper Jing said respectfully, "Yes!"
Wen Baolu also followed the other party back to Luo Mansion, listening to Luo Xiao's quick talk about everything that happened in Huaxiang Building, while Zhu Mingqing was thinking about the reason why General Xu came to Guancheng.
Aren’t you going to look for the lost gold and silver treasures?
But if you want to dine and dine for free, that money can last for a while!
"Mom, are you listening to me?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded perfunctorily: "I'm listening!"
I didn’t take it seriously at first glance!
Luo Xiao snorted: "Stop talking, it's boring!"
Zhu Mingqing yawned and stood up: "Then everything is fine, then go back to the room and sleep!"
After saying that, he left very decisively.
Luo Xiao said in disbelief: "Brother Wen, look at her!"
Wen Baolu said slowly: "Okay, Madam has been busy all day. From now on, there is no need to bother him with things that we can handle ourselves!"
Luo Xiao naturally knew that his mother had been busy for half a month trying to appease the refugees, and he just wanted to tell her something funny to amuse her.
Maybe I'm really tired!
…
Zhu Mingqing originally wondered why General Xu came to Guancheng, but the next day, she knew.
Coming for the Ming family.
She dressed up and went to the Ming family's house.
Mr. Xu had been waiting for a long time. Looking at the slightly damaged house, he wondered where the other party's money had gone!
Could it be that a trip to the grassland would make the other party unable to afford a house?
…
"Master, Mr. Xu, please get in here!"
In an alley not far from the Ming family, the number one subordinate asked mysteriously, "Do you know who lives here?"
Xu Yan patted him on the back of the head and said, "Speak!"
The number one subordinate wailed, "Can't the eldest master ask a question?"
Xu Yan's gaze shifted and landed on him, his lips slightly parted: "Then tell me who lives here?"
The number one subordinate immediately became interested: "Sir, you don't know the Ming family, right? I heard that the Ming family is a well-known wealthy merchant in Guancheng. It took less than half a year to establish a firm foothold. Their background is really powerful!"
Xu Yan was helpless: "I know the Ming family!"
"Ah?" The number one subordinate said with a slightly disappointed look, "It's okay, but I'm afraid you don't know this General Xu..."
"Okay, you can shut up now!" Xu Yan interrupted.
He knows Mr. Xu's character better than anyone else.
Being greedy for money and lustful, what could be his purpose in coming to the Ming family?
The fact is just as he said, Xu Zongzhen put forward the sugar production method he wanted without hesitation.
Zhu Mingqing was speechless!
This person is stationed at the border. Does Emperor Jiancheng think that the country’s demise is not fast enough?
"Lord Xu, can you please stop daydreaming?" she asked bluntly.
Mr. Xu, who thought he had won, could hardly believe his ears.
Even if someone wanted to refuse in the past, they would not be so direct, but would beg him to let them go with a smile.
But this Mrs. Ming had an expression of undisguised disgust on her face.
Before he could say anything, Zhu Mingqing said, "Turn left when you leave. I won't see you off!"
Xu Zongzhen: ...
He can't control his temper anymore!
Maybe people are just so mean that they look down on and belittle others even when they are speaking to you in a nice tone.
But if you meet someone with a stubborn temper who is not easy to deal with, you will constantly remind yourself to be patient.
"Madam Ming, you may not have heard clearly what I just said..."
Zhu Mingqing was amused. "Master Xu, don't think that just because you have bad hearing, others are just like you! Do you want me to repeat what I just said?"
