Li Qiufeng carefully put the silver ticket back into his arms, smiled to himself, and said, "I'm ashamed, it's the first time I've carried so much silver in my arms when I'm living so big." There are some gaffes, and please don't laugh outside. ”

Zhang Shi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhu is too worried. You are so reckless, that is not to be an outsider, and you are more at ease. Brother Zhu still has something to say, just say it. ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "There is nothing else to do." Outsiders can rest assured that Zhu will do his best to help the staff complete this transaction. ”

Zhang Shi was overjoyed, picked up his wine glass, and said to Li Qiufeng: "After the matter is completed, Brother Zhu will see more silver." Come, let's make this toast, and we will be good brothers from now on. Everyone has wealth together, and happiness enjoys together, how happy?!"

Li Qiufeng picked up the wine glass and touched Zhang Shi lightly. The two of them drank their own wines. Zhang Shi stood up again, personally poured Li Qiufeng full of wine, and said with a smile after sitting down: "Today is my happiest day, I need to drink to my heart's content." Come, let's have another drink. ”

Li Qiufeng originally planned to ask when the big ship would leave and what goods were on board. was just afraid that Zhang Shi would be suspicious, so he didn't ask. just pretended to be happy and drank with Zhang Shi. The two of them pushed the glasses and changed the glasses, and before they knew it, each of them had drunk six or seven glasses of wine. Zhang Shi was already slightly drunk, grabbed the wine jug and was about to pour another glass for Li Qiufeng, when he found that a pot of wine had been drunk clean by the two of them. He put the wine jug on the table, and was about to call the servant to bring the wine into the pavilion, but he heard someone outside the pond say respectfully: "Master Qiyu, Teacher Dong is back." He wants to see the master......"

Before this man finished speaking, he heard Zhang Shi sneer, and said viciously: "This bastard still has the face to come back to see me?! You tell the account room, give him five taels of silver, and tell him to pack up his things and get out! Roll as far as you want, don't let me see him again in Ningbo Mansion!"

The man outside the pond agreed, and the footsteps faded away until there was no sound.

Zhang Shi said to Li Qiufeng: "This bastard surnamed Dong came to Zhang's Mansion half a year ago, saying that he was the eldest disciple of the Hengshan faction, and he had obtained the true inheritance of the head of the Hengshan faction, and he wanted to be the martial artist of Zhang's mansion. I saw that this kid was very strong, and let him fight with several martial artists in the house. He has some skills to defeat these martial artists one by one. I believed him, so I let him stay in the house and become the head of the martial arts master of the courtyard. Although this kid is greedy and treacherous, he also helped several big families in Ningbo City to do some forced buying and selling. However, he did things quite properly, and he had a bad reputation outside, and some scoundrels in the city were afraid and did not dare to trouble Zhang's mansion easily. I just opened one eye and closed one eye, and I didn't interfere with him much. It was only when I saw Brother Zhu's martial arts today that I realized that the mother surnamed Dong was a Mr. Nan Guo, who came to my house to make up for it. Just now he was defeated by the Zhu brothers, and he fled like a rabbit without a trace. I thought that he had exposed his old background and had no face to come to see me again, so he escaped from Ningbo Mansion, but I didn't expect that he would have the courage to come to see me with a shy face! Hmph, if I hadn't made Brother Zhu, a good friend, I would have been happy in my heart, and I would have beaten this dog thief and sent him to the yamen for punishment. ”

Only then did Li Qiufeng know that the original surname Dong was actually Zhang Shi's nursing home martial artist, and he thought to himself, although this guy has a real word in his name, this is not true. It stands to reason that he did not provoke the Zhang family, so how could a person surnamed Dong rush out to challenge him? Nine times out of ten, Zhang Shi deliberately let the person surnamed Dong find trouble for himself, so as to show his prestige in front of the wealthy people in the four alleys. It's just that I didn't expect that the martial arts surnamed Dong were ordinary and folded in my own hands. Zhang Shi lost face in front of everyone, and he was so angry that he couldn't beat the surnamed Dong to vent his anger.

Zhang Shi scolded Yitong surnamed Dong, and then remembered that the wine in the jug had been drunk cleanly. He stretched out his hand and slapped it on the stone table, and said loudly, "Is there any gasping? Send another pot of wine!"

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhang Shi was already three points drunk, and was about to persuade him not to drink anymore, but he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps. Then the two manservants walked briskly from behind the flower tree to the edge of the pond with the silver basin in their hands, and then trotted to the stone table, and placed the silver basin on the stone table. Only then did Li Qiufeng see clearly that there was hot water in the silver basin, and there was a wine jug soaked in the hot water. The two male servants took out the jug and placed it on the stone table, then bowed down and exited the pavilion and walked away quietly.

Zhang Shi trembled and wanted to get up and take the wine jug to pour wine for Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng hurriedly stood up first and said to Zhang Shi: "It's not early, I'm going to rush back to the inn." The staff is resting, and we will come to see the staff again tomorrow morning, and let's talk about the sea in detail. ”

Zhang Shi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, don't go anywhere! The guest room has already been cleaned up for you. If you don't stay, you won't give me face!"

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhang Shi was already drunk, and was about to say more, but he heard Zhang Shi suddenly shout loudly: "Someone!

His voice fell, and he only heard the sound of footsteps, and five or six servants of the Zhang Mansion ran from behind the flower tree, until they reached the outside of the pavilion, and then they stopped and stood solemnly. Zhang Shi said to the servants: "You lead Mr. Zhu to the guest room to rest." You must be good at serving, and if there is a half-point difference, beware of being kicked out of the house!"

The servants hurriedly bowed down and agreed. Li Qiufeng still wanted to excuse himself, but he heard Zhang Shi say: "Brother Zhu, even if you want to leave now, there is already a curfew outside, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the night everywhere and catching fast. If there is a conflict with them, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient. Wouldn't it be better to rest in our house for one night, and tomorrow we will discuss in detail about going to Fuso?"

Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, I have to bother Zhang Yuanwai." ”

Zhang Shi saw that Li Qiufeng agreed, he liked it very much, laughed, and said, "We are good brothers, why are you so polite? Brother Zhu went to rest." As long as it is someone in my house, if you don't serve Brother Zhu well, you will be severely punished!"

After Zhang Shi finished speaking, his eyes swept over the faces of the servants one by one. The servants stood with their heads bowed, not even daring to make a sound. Zhang Shi snorted and said, "Brother Zhu, you go with them." ”

Zhang Shi's voice fell, and two servants walked quickly to Li Qiufeng, bowed down and said, "Uncle, please go to the guest room with the villain to rest." ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said goodbye to Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi waved his hand and motioned for him to leave first. Li Qiufeng followed the two servants out of the pavilion, walked across the Jiuqu Bridge, went all the way out of the back garden, and walked into the second courtyard. The two servants carried the lanterns, one after the other, and led Li Qiufeng to the front of the wing room on the right. The servant who walked in front opened the door and bowed down to invite Li Qiufeng into the house. Li Qiufeng didn't shirk and walked in quickly. However, I saw that the interior of the house was luxuriously decorated, divided into a lobby and an inner room. In the center of the lobby are mahogany tables and chairs, surrounded by antique cabinets and screens. Every item is luxurious and heavy, and you can tell at a glance that it is expensive.

After Li Qiufeng entered the house, a servant followed, but another servant stood guard at the door. The servant who entered the house said respectfully, "Wait, uncle, let's bring you sobering soup and hot water." ”

Li Qiufeng was about to excuse himself, but he heard a sound of footsteps in the courtyard. Then the servant who was guarding the door said, "The barrel is in the house, pour hot water into it." ”

A moment later, four valets walked in with two large kettles each. These people first bowed to Li Qiufeng, and then walked to the inner room. Only then did Li Qiufeng find that a large wooden bucket had already been placed on the floor of the inner room, and the four male servants walked into the inner room and poured the hot water from the kettle into it. In a matter of moments, the vapor filled the room, blurring the entire chamber. After the four male servants finished pouring water, they immediately retreated, and after saluting Li Qiufeng, they hurried out of the house.

Li Qiufeng saw that these people were all respectful and polite, and he was quite uneasy in his heart, and said to the manservant standing beside him: "Thank you for your hard work. I don't have anything to do here, so go back and rest. ”

The manservant said, "The master has ordered, and we want to serve the master carefully." The uncle bathed and changed clothes first, and the villain waited outside the house. ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "In the next prodigal son, where do you dare to let you serve?" ”

The manservant was about to speak, when he heard footsteps in the courtyard again. The manservant smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Wang has arrived." She took people to wait for the uncle to bathe and change clothes, and the villain waited outside the door, obeying the uncle's call. ”
