Chapter 333 Threat
The family crest on the Marquis's carriage was particularly eye-catching. It was hard for Zhulan not to notice it. She watched the carriage stop with her eyes fixed. What a familiar servant, what a familiar person!
Mr. Deng was a little confused. He stared at the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion in a daze. He didn't understand why the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion stopped.
Yazi huddled aside. As a small figure, it was better for him to huddle aside at this time!
This time Yao Zheyu did not sit in the carriage and look down from above. Instead, Yao Zheyu helped the servant get off the carriage with his arm and politely saluted, "Mr. Zhou Gongshi."
Zhou Shuren was calm and composed. He would come to see the man for no reason. He knew the man had been paying attention to the examination as soon as he heard the title. Zhou Shuren responded with "Young Master."
Yao Zheyu's servant said, "Young Master is already the Crown Prince."
Zhulan, "........"
This change was quite big. She had almost forgotten the plot, but she had to remember the scene where the male protagonist appeared. She clearly remembered that the male protagonist was still a young master when he took the child examination a year later!
Zhulan looked at Yao Zheyu with her remaining eyes. He was dressed in black. Well, the fighting power of the blackened male protagonist is different!
Zhou Shuren became a tribute scholar in a few months, and Yao Zheyu became the crown prince directly. The title of crown prince in this dynasty must be approved by the emperor. Judging from the situation of the Marquis' Mansion, the emperor definitely wants to destroy it as soon as possible. How could he approve the petition so easily?
And according to the protagonist's situation, it should be that his father did not love him and his stepmother harmed him. Even in this situation, he could still be asked to be conferred a title by the Marquis. His fighting ability is really strong!
The Crown Prince and the Eldest Son are two completely different concepts. The only thing the Eldest Son can boast of is his status as the legitimate son, while the Crown Prince can handle some things and get in touch with the connections in the Marquis's Mansion!
Yao Zheyu stared at Zhou Xiucai. It should be Zhou Gongshi. He had forgotten the little man behind him. He didn't expect that he would become a Gongshi. He was really amazing. He had a detailed investigation data in his hand. Yao Zheyu said, "Meeting is fate. I have a deep fate with Zhou Gongshi!"
Zhou Shuren kept smiling, but in his heart he wanted to curse. To be honest, he didn't want to have anything to do with the male protagonist. Anyone who had anything to do with the male protagonist would be cannon fodder. Although you are no longer the male protagonist, you are still very strong in fighting. He really wanted to curse, "It's just a few encounters. Your Excellency is too kind."
Yao Zheyu's smile deepened. Why didn't he think Zhou Shuren was a fox before? A particularly cunning fox at that? He was wrong. "Mr. Zhou Gongshi did save this prince. What this prince said was the truth."
Zhulan, "......"
Now you remember the life-saving grace, but you forgot when you threw the banknotes to warn them of the grudges between you a few months ago? .
Zhou Shuren, "...I have received the money, and I will not save your life any more."
Yao Zheyu was thinking about money. He really didn't expect that Zhou Gongshi's wife was a good money-maker. The values of the several houses she bought increased greatly, and she was jealous of him. He worked so hard to secretly scheme against merchants and openly scheme against his father, but after several months, he only received two thousand taels. Then look at the Zhou family. In the past few months, the Zhou family's wealth has at least doubled.
Yao Zheyu thought of the land in Pinggang, and his eyes became deeper. Zhou Gongshi’s fortune was a little too good!
The most frightening thing about the scene is silence. Zhulan wanted to curse in her heart. This is West City, the place with the most power and wealth. Yao Zheyu killed someone and made him pay for his life. Well, their family has nothing to do with Yao Zheyu, but now it has something to do with him.
Look at Mr. Deng's stunned expression, and then look at Yazi's frightened expression. Well, she thinks the male protagonist is more annoying than a dog-skin plaster.
Yao Zheyu lowered his eyes, "Mr. Zhou, I have prepared some wine and food to congratulate you. How about we go to the restaurant?"
Zhou Shuren cursed in his heart, "You look like you're determined to fight to the end. Whether he gets in the car or not, he has a close relationship with the young master of the Marquis' Mansion. He doesn't want Zhulan to be left out in the cold. "Please, my lord."
Yao Zheyu turned around and got on the carriage, thinking to himself, the old fox is still a decisive person, why did he let him run away at that time? Or was he too young!
Zhou Shuren once again enjoyed the Marquis's carriage, and felt deeply moved. It was different to have a title. Look at the carriage, it's so magnificent that it makes people jealous. And the Marquis's mansion was really rich. It was the golden pig that the emperor had been coveting for a long time, so why hadn't he slaughtered it yet?
He is really not a good person. Especially after facing dangerous people, his bottom line has been lowered. He will remember the threat today!
Zhulan watched the carriage leave. Deng Xiucai was stunned. "Sister-in-law, are we still going to see the house?"
Zhulan gritted her teeth and said, "Look, let's go over there."
Having said that, Zhulan got on her own carriage. She was bringing Eryue and Lichun with her, so she wasn't going alone. Why not go and see? Besides, she was feeling suffocated. Yao Zheyu was still annoying as always, and his condescending attitude made her angry!
Mr. Deng and Yazi looked at each other and got on the carriage.
Zhulan looked at the house at the northwest border. The house was really shabby. The only thing Zhulan liked was that there was a well, a small pond, and several fruit trees in the yard. Oh, and there was also a small patch of messy bamboo.
The broker was also very embarrassed. This house was not for sale before, and now no one wants to buy it. "The seller is not good at business management. He has spent all his money over the years, so the house is a bit run down."
"Is this a bit broken?"
If it hadn't been the season for snakes to wake up yet, Zhulan would never have come in. The yard was full of weeds, and looking at the rockery, Zhulan felt scared, fearing that there were big snakes hibernating underneath.
Yazi felt guilty about saying it out loud, "The place is still good. You can build it into a three-story courtyard. If the design is good, it can also be designed like a southern house."
Zhulan was calculating the money in her mind. The place was indeed big enough, but it would cost a lot of money to build a new one. She thought of Wuchun's house again. Forget about it. Zhulan pursed her lips and asked, "How much does this house cost?"
The clerk said, "Two thousand four hundred taels."
The last time Zhulan came to the capital to buy a house, she did not bargain for the price, because it was the lowest price. She knew that she would not be able to lower the price even if she bargained. Besides, it was her first time in the capital and she was not familiar with Mr. Deng. She and Zhou Shuren had weak financial backgrounds and did not want to be seen through, so she just paid the money directly.
This time was different. Not only had her status changed, but in her heart, this house was not worth two thousand four hundred taels. "Two thousand one hundred taels, if it works, I'll transfer it. If it doesn't, forget it."
The hawker thought that he was a good guy and cut down 300 taels at once, and then asked, "What about the second house in the west city?"
Zhulan really didn't like the house in West City. It was too small and she was just going to stay there temporarily. "Two thousand eight hundred taels. Now it's time to see what you can do. Once we've negotiated the price, I'll give you fifty taels as a thank you."
Yazi originally felt a little embarrassed. No matter how small the house in West City was, it was still West City. But considering the benefits of fifty taels of silver and the fact that he still hoped the Zhou family would sell the house in South City, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Gongshi, please wait for my good news!"
Zhulan said to Mr. Deng, "Thank you for your help today. I will invite you to have tea alone some other day."
Mr. Deng relies on his cheap brother-in-law who is a third-rank official. Outsiders say that he is the brother-in-law of the assistant minister, but in fact, his original wife's younger brother is the real brother-in-law. There are so many third-rank officials in the capital, and his cheap brother-in-law is not a minister, so he can't compare with the marquis's mansion, which holds the real power!
Mr. Deng said politely, "I will come to visit you in person some other day."
Zhulan bowed and said, "I've been out for a while, I'll go home now."
Deng Xiucai, "Sister-in-law, take care."
