Chapter 20 (1/2)
Su Zheng came to the guest room of the courtyard to settle down with the boy.
The boy ran in and whispered, ”childe, I heard that the next courtyard is the father and son of the Xie family.”
With the decline of the Su family, all the servants were dismissed, leaving only the shunzi family.
Shunzi's family are all the sons of the Su family. Several generations of people have served in the Su family for generations. They are most loyal.
”Are you sure the next courtyard is the father and son of the Xie family?” he asked
Shunzi nodded frequently, ”I can see clearly, I can't be wrong. The servants of the Xie family are carrying their luggage in. ”
Su Zheng thought about it for a moment. He came to the gate of the courtyard and looked out through the crack. Sure enough, he saw that the servants of the Xie family were moving things to the courtyard next door.
Su Zheng frowned and thought deeply. Was it an accident that he was arranged next door to Xie's house?
Recalling the meaningful words of cousin Gu Jiu, is it that cousin Gu Jiu specially arranged him next door to Xie's house.
Just, how does cousin Gu Jiu do it?
In a flash, Su Zheng began to laugh again.
Gu Jiu's cousin Bingxue is smart. This little thing is certainly hard for her.
In a word, whether it was an accident or a deliberate arrangement, it was convenient for him.
Seeing Gu and Gu Jiu, he realized that it was not easy for their cousins to make a living under Mrs. Xie, so Su Zheng wanted to help them.
The father and son of the Xie family came to Jinzhou from a long way to visit Xie's family.
Cousin Gu Jiu seems to be very curious about Xie's father and son's intention. He is also curious.
Su Zheng looks at the courtyard wall next door, and he happens to be close to the water. It's better to take this opportunity to inquire for cousin Gu Jiu.
Su Zheng waved and called shunzi to his side and whispered, ”remember to pay attention to the situation in the next room and see what they have done and said.”
Shunzi nodded, and then he was embarrassed, ”childe, we don't have money. We can't find anyone to ask for information. What should we do?”
The Soviet government was also somewhat embarrassed, ”overcome it first. Jinzhou is a big city. I'll write two storybooks tomorrow. You can take them to the bookshop and sell them. It should sell for a price. ”
”Young master is busy writing scripts to exchange money. How can he have time to review his lessons. I'm so disappointed that I delayed my study and failed to pass the imperial examination. ”
”You talk a lot.”
Shunzi made a face behind Su Zheng's back, and then said, ”young master, I'll go outside to get familiar with the situation. Don't worry. I'll bring you some news today. ”
Su Zheng laughed, ”go ahead, don't mess around.”
Shunzi ran away in a hurry.
……
Go to the room.
The room is very quiet, only Xie's and Xie's two masters.
The servants are outside.
Xie put down the tea cup, the expression is light, ”brother came to visit me from afar, I am very grateful.”
”We are brothers and sisters,” he said with a smile. ”We are strangers.”
Xie Shi picks eyebrow to smile, ”dare not not not see outside, otherwise sister-in-law should say that I take advantage of mother's house again.”
”Your sister-in-law has long hair and short sense. Don't take her for granted. I'm here to send you money. ”
”How much is it?”
Master Xie Er held out five fingers and said, ”there are five thousand taels.”
Xie snorted, ”five thousand taels, a lot of them. Why do you have to go there in person and send a steward to deliver this money? ”
Master Xie Er stroked his beard and said with a smile, ”it's not that I haven't seen my sister for many years. I'm thinking about it. I'd like to take this opportunity to come and have a look.”
Xie's mouth a curl, eyes some disdain, ”brother although said nice, I'll be the right to listen to the truth.”
”It's true. It's all true.”
