Chapter 201: The rich man is coming
Why do we say this person is a real distinguished guest?
Just look at his attire, it highlights two words.
rich!
Any ivory fan in your hand is worth a fortune.
This man is Mr. Qian, a wealthy businessman who is well-known in the area.
As soon as Mr. Qian saw Su Tan, he hurried forward to greet him, his waist bent as if he was a weakling and couldn't straighten his back at all.
"County Lady Jiayi, please watch your step."
As soon as he saw the tassel hanging on Su Tan's sword, he quickly said flatteringly, "County Lady Jiayi, I see that your sword tassel is a bit old. If you don't mind, I can ask the embroiderer in the mansion to make you a new one."
"Although your scabbard is very beautiful, it is not worthy of your status."
"If Princess Jiayi trusts me, please leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you a beautiful scabbard."
Apart from anything else, even the gems inlaid on the scabbard will catch everyone's attention.
Lu Zhiheng finally stopped wearing those patched clothes.
Perhaps because he knew that he would eventually have to meet guests in a place like this, he still left two decent sets of clothes for himself.
At this moment, he acted like a royal relative, dignified and elegant, "Master Qian has been waiting for you for a long time."
When Mr. Qian heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He was very wealthy and people would usually address him as "Master" when they saw him, and he didn't think it was a big deal.
But Lu Zhiheng's repeated words "Master" really frightened him, and he always felt that he might lose his life in the next moment.
On the second day after Lu Zhiheng arrived here, he visited the homes of all the wealthy businessmen.
The meaning is very clear, he is here to ask for money.
Mr. Qian didn't dare to offend Lu Zhiheng, so he also took the silver at that time, and a lot of it, about one thousand taels.
But he couldn't take any more.
After all, everyone agreed to only take one thousand taels. What would happen if he took more?
If you are so overly kind, you will offend more than just a group of people.
After the victims were completely settled, Lu Zhiheng and his people left, but he had to face countless troubles.
However, Mr. Qian had not expected that Lu Zhiheng had a fortune teller, Lady Jiayi Su Tan, who was so good at divination that all the evil spirits were terrified!
He had also heard of Su Tan's name.
But at that time I was still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
It was not until he discovered that those disaster victims who were originally terminally ill had miraculously come back to life that Master Qian no longer dared to neglect or underestimate Su Tan.
I quickly asked someone to pass a note and look for him.
Who knew that Su Tan was not so easy to meet.
He talked with Lu Zhiheng for a long time, so long that he felt his shoes were about to spark. Only then did Lu Zhiheng send someone to invite Su Tan over.
Seeing the famous Master Su at this moment, Mr. Qian did not dare to neglect him at all and racked his brains to please him.
"County Lady Jiayi, are you used to the food you've been eating lately?"
"Did you sleep well?"
"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just tell me and I'll make sure it's handled for you."
Su Tan took in Mr. Qian's reaction and looked at his face, and he already knew what was going on.
She raised her brows slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Everything is fine, but the victims are not doing well. Seeing them living in dire straits, Your Highness and I are always very worried."
"I haven't been able to sleep these past few days, and I heard that His Highness is the same."
Mr. Qian immediately made an expression of extreme grief.
He covered his face and sighed, "Alas, it's all caused by natural disasters!"
"Otherwise, how could the innocent people end up like this? Fortunately, His Highness and Princess Jiayi care about these disaster victims, otherwise their lives would be even more miserable."
"It's heartbreaking to see this, especially since many of the victims are children. We are all parents, and seeing our children become like this is truly painful."
Upon hearing this, Su Tan took out a handkerchief and pressed it against the corners of his eyes to wipe away the tears that did not exist at all.
"Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect that Grandpa Qian cared as much about the disaster victims as we do."
During this period, in order to make money, Su Tan basically said one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
Lu Zhiheng was even more exaggerated than her.
Look, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen immediately responded.
He sighed heavily, his eyes and brows filled with deep sorrow and helplessness.
"The victims are also my father's children. Since they are my father's children, they are my brothers."
"Seeing my brothers suffer like this, I hate myself for being incompetent. If my father saw it with his own eyes, I'm afraid he would be heartbroken as well."
When he said this, he sighed several times and said that it was his fault that the world had become like this.
If the emperor saw this, he would be even more blunt and say that he had failed to do his job as emperor.
The main character tells lies with open eyes, and does so to the fullest extent.
Mr. Qian: “…”
Mr. Qian lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He understood it very well. This was just a different way of asking him for money.
Mr. Qian held his forehead and sighed.
He pretended not to notice that the two men were coordinating, so he could only wipe his tears with a handkerchief. "Who said it wasn't true?"
"I feel really bad."
"So, I immediately tightened my belt and lived frugally, and asked someone to raise 100,000 taels of silver and send it over. I wonder if it can help alleviate my immediate needs."
