Chapter 18 Door-to-door delivery of money

"This ridiculous young master's shop is really unbelievable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the corner of the street, Cui Shizheng, who had been busy all day, was cleaning up his stall, habitually glanced up at Shulinzhai, and was about to leave, but saw four well-dressed young men walking in, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Someone went in? Attracted by that vertical move again? Cui Shi stopped his movements, thought about it, and was full of curiosity, "I don't seem to see the signboard at the four of them, and they go straight in, and they are not ordinary people when they look at their dress, is it the fox friend and dog friend who is old?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more curious Cui Shi became, so he simply didn't clean it up, sat down again, and waited for the result.

In Shulinzhai, Wang Xi and the others looked sluggish, and immediately showed an incomprehensible look.

"Fifty bucks? What fifty money? After being stunned, Wang Xi asked rhetorically, "Should you be asked to write a letter and ask for fifty yuan?" His face was full of incredulity, but thinking about Chen Zhi's absurd name, he felt that it was not impossible, the mourning hall could do all the drugs, and writing a letter of fifty on behalf of him was not so exaggerated, but it was still beyond his imagination.

In fact, several of them were entrusted by Chen Yun to come over to embarrass Chen Zhi, they didn't think it was a difficult thing, when they came, they didn't stop in front of the signboard outside the door, and they seemed to look at it when they entered the store, but they also looked at it and didn't go to their hearts at all, and they didn't understand the rules that Shulin Zhai had just established, so they were stunned by Chen Zhi's words.

Chen Zhi said neatly: "You can write a letter within 100 words for 50 yuan, you must bring your own paper, you also know my situation, the family is surrounded by four walls, this shop is borrowed, this small profit, please forgive me." ”

"I don't have any paper, what kind of letter did I write on my behalf?" Wang Xi couldn't help but expose his contempt for Chen Zhi, "Fifty yuan for a letter, this is too whimsical, your word is made of gold?" ”

"I can't take out fifty dollars, and you dare to take care of my business?" Chen Zhi was not angry or annoyed, but showed pity, "It seems that the Wang family is in decline, how can you say that it is also a descendant of the family, and the shyness in the pocket is so sad, in this case, please go back, I am not strong." ”

"You dare to look down on us?" Wang Xi and the others immediately became angry, and one of them took two steps forward and was about to attack.

"Stand down!" Chen Zhi restrained his smile and scolded, his tone was calm, what kind of identity was he in his previous life, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all scolded and scolded, not to mention a few children of the family? There was a murderous aura in the words, which instantly suppressed a few people, but soon a few people recovered, and they became even more angry, and there were signs of wanting to do it.

Chen Zhi was expressionless, and said coldly: "Before you came over, you also listened to my uncle's orders, no trouble is allowed here, could it be that you were provoked by someone to come here to stir up trouble?" Very good, you can go out and ask, if I Chen Zhi is a person who is afraid of things, if I really want to make trouble, I will accompany you to the end, whether it is the Chen family or the Wang family, I can accompany you to make trouble! ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Xi and the others finally stopped moving.

Is Chen Zhi afraid?

That's so unafraid!

Whether it is the current Chen Zhi or the past Chen Zhi, there is no one who is afraid of things, the Chen Zhi in the past is not only not afraid of things, but often takes the initiative to find trouble, otherwise how did the name of this ridiculous young master come out?

"Good, good!" Wang Xi laughed angrily and took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, "I still don't believe it, I want to see if your so-called letter is worth the price!" After speaking, he was stunned for a moment, but then returned to normal, only the corners of his eyes jumped slightly.

Thirty years ago, Xuanwu Emperor Liu Min unified the north, but before that, the north was chaotic, the monetary policy was changeable, coupled with the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the people were not happy, and now the dynasty is unified, but inflation is still serious, the court cast five baht money, the materials are reduced again and again, and now the standard weight is less than three grams, dozens or hundreds of them together are not heavy or light, but as the son of a family, who has nothing to do will bring a large lump of cheap money, since it is more silver taels.

However, this silver is not widely circulated among the people, and it is mainly cast into cakes or collars, as treasures and storage, and only circulated directly among the children of the family.

Wang Xi's piece of broken silver, which is almost equivalent to more than 200 yuan, is his example money, and he took it out in a fit of anger, but it was not easy to take it back, so he could only give it hard, with a pride on the surface and blood dripping from his heart.

"Well, this piece of broken silver is enough to write four letters to the family within 100 words." Chen Zhiyi stretched out his hand to catch the silver, and the silver sent to the door had no reason to push it out, not to mention that these people were originally here to stir up trouble.

"How? Don't start writing yet? Seeing that Chen Zhi had accepted the money, Wang Xiden sneered, "If this letter can't satisfy us, it won't be what you do, but the news of this shop's bullying will soon spread throughout the county and beyond, see how you gain a foothold in the future!" He gritted his teeth as he spoke, feeling sorry for the silver.

Chen Zhi smiled lightly, took out a few coins from his cuffs, handed them to Chen Xi, and commanded two words in his ear, the latter glanced at Wang Xi and the others, then nodded, and trotted out all the way.

"To write or not to write?"

Seeing that Chen Zhi still didn't move, Wang Xi asked impatiently.

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, there is no good paper in the store, a few real money can be taken out, I can't wronged you, I have asked my brother to buy a few good papers." In fact, he had already prepared paper in Chen's Mansion and instructed Chen Fu to bring it, but the latter forgot about it because there were too many things in the past few days, and Chen Jue, a servant of Chen's Mansion, had become more and more cold in the past two days, and he didn't remind him, and then the store was deserted, there were no customers, and he didn't find it for a while.

Wang Xi and the others looked at each other and were completely speechless.

If you open a letter writing shop, you want nothing, and the price is so high and there are so many rules, is this what doing business looks like?

Wang Xi couldn't help but ask: "Don't you even have pen and ink?" The words were full of mockery.

Chen Zhi replied as usual: "There must be pen and ink, if you don't use pen and ink, you can't read, no matter where you are, you must have pen and ink." ”

"As long as you are still studying, ......" Wang Xi shook his head, and said no more, feeling that he couldn't talk too much about this ruin, the news that the third elder Xu Zhi was optimistic about Chen Zhi was only circulated in the Chen family's back house, and was not known to the outside world for the time being.

On the other side, Chen Xi left Shulinzhai and looked left and right, trying to find a shop that sold pen and ink, but the sky was getting dark, and many shops had closed and closed.

"This brother is polite."

Chen Xi actually ran to Cui Shi, and after saluting, he explained his intentions, which made the latter stunned.

"Come to me to buy paper? This...... What do you do when you buy paper? Could it be that Shulin Zhai opened without even getting the paper ready? Cui Shi's eyes widened, and then he thought of something, and asked, "You came to buy paper, this is a guest coming to the door?" Could it be that the four people who went in just now really found someone to write letters on their behalf? ”

"Exactly, I hope that my brother will help." Chen Xi was anxious, and he didn't have the heart to explain.

Although Cui Shi was curious, he didn't want to ask, so he took out a few pieces of paper from the pile of paper and handed them over—although he wrote mostly on hemp paper, he also had the parchment paper ready.

Collected the money at the market price, looking at the back of Chen Xi leaving in a hurry, Cui Shi couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Is anyone really spending this unjust money? Fifty dollars, just write a letter home? This is looking for someone to write on behalf of you, this is door-to-door delivery of money! No, maybe it was Chen Zhi's friend who came to cheer, yes, it must be like this, it is estimated that there is only such a time, and there will definitely be no next time! ”

After judging the result, Cui Shi shook his head again.

"This cliché is ridiculous enough, I am also a letter writer, and he came to me to buy paper! How can such a thing be done! ”

Thinking about it, he couldn't cry or laugh, he and Chen Zhi were competitors, this is the rhythm of developing into a supplier?

Shaking his head again, he didn't think much about it, but he still sat still, waiting to see how things unfolded.
