No matter what Qi Renli's mood was, at least his reason was still there, so no matter how angry he was, he could only follow the housekeeper and leave the room.
Qi Renli asked himself that he had never done anything rude since he entered the house, but he had always endured the other party's offense.
Growing up, he rarely felt so angry.
Yang Zheng was older after all, and the offenses just now were not directed at him, so his mentality was much better than that of Qi Renli. He asked the housekeeper, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the side courtyard, where we servants live." After saying this, the housekeeper seemed to have thought of something wrong and added: "Master Qi, don't think too much. All the more common business transactions in the Hong family are discussed in the side courtyard."< br>
Saying this is to make Qi Renli think more.
Qi Renli, who was following the butler, took several deep breaths to control his temper.
After walking in this crooked yard for a long time, they finally arrived. The housekeeper opened a room and let them in.
"Master Qi, please wait here for a moment. Someone will come to discuss the details of the transaction with you later." The steward said and was about to leave.
Qi Renli asked him: "Aren't you talking to me?"
"The master can't live without little people. I really don't have time for him. Please forgive me." He said he was sorry, but in fact he was just giving a notice. The butler also said: "By the way, Sir Qi, although this place is the courtyard where the servants live." , but there are also many important things stored there, so please don’t wander around.”
After the housekeeper left, everyone beat the door frame angrily, "What a ridiculous place is this!"
Yang Zheng stopped his movement, "Don't get in trouble with yourself."
Qi Renli sat down nearby, his shoulders slumped, "I really found a troublesome thing for myself to do."
"Do you really want to buy him ten thousand bolts of silk?"
Qi Renli looked embarrassed, "If I really buy ten thousand pieces of silk from him, it would be better to eat ten thousand flies. Besides, I don't have that much money. No matter how cheap the silk is, it still costs a few taels of silver. Tens of thousands of taels of silver." , where can I get it?”
"The Hong family is really serious. In their eyes, tens of thousands of taels of silver is just a small business, and they are only worthy of talking to their housekeeper." Yang Zheng leaned against the door frame and looked around with emotionless eyes, "They say the south is rich. , I didn’t expect there to be such a wealthy family in Dazhou.
There are people in the world who die of poverty every year. If you are rich, you can also make people rich to death. This old man Hong will have to die a hundred and eighty times, right? ”
Qi Renli was originally trapped in his own emotions. Hearing Yang Zheng's words, he smiled and shook his head, "There is no end to poverty and wealth, but when one reaches a certain level of poverty, one cannot live anymore."
Yang Zheng thought for a moment and said: "This sounds familiar."
"What?"
"I think I heard Master Meng say it, but that's not what he said." Yang Zheng scratched his forehead, "How did you say it?"
Yang Zheng couldn't remember it, but Qi Renli was very happy, "Master Meng knows what I mean!"
"Since you don't plan to buy it, then when someone comes later, they will say that they didn't like the material or the price is not right. They can find any excuse not to do this business. Let's talk about it after we go out. The Hong family is really uncomfortable staying here."
Qi Renli nodded.
It's just that they are destined to wait a long time.
A stick of incense passed and no one came.
Even Yang Zheng couldn't help but be irritated, "What's going on? What's going on with this Hong family?"
Qi Renli said: "It would be great if Lord Meng were here. It would be nice if we could invite Lord Meng to come with us after the spring planting."
When he said this, Yang Zheng could only suppress his emotions and comfort him, "Anyway, we are here specifically for this matter. Even if it takes some time, it won't hinder anything." Another period of time passed, and someone finally entered. this yard.
But this man didn't come towards them. He even ignored them and went directly to the corner of the yard, where there was an inconspicuous wooden door.
Seeing the man opening the wooden door, Yang Zheng immediately took a few steps forward to see what was outside the door.
He is a farmer carrying a basket.
The basket was filled with woven silk.
"Steward." The man carrying the basket said with a smile, "Look, this time my family listened to your words and knitted very carefully..."
But before he finished speaking, the steward leaned back indifferently and said, "Stop talking nonsense and put it in quickly."
"Alas."
Seeing the man putting the silk in the basket into the small room next to the door, the steward took out a handful of loose money and gave it to him.
The man took it with a smile, but the copper coins he got were actually much less than he expected, "Steward, this is too little, my family sent two horses, and this little money is barely enough to buy silk thread. ”
"That's the price." The steward didn't want to talk to the other party and stood at the door of the courtyard. "Hurry up and get out."
Although Qi Renli was far away, he could understand the man's emotions. He could only endure the anger and unwillingness, just like him now.
"Steward." The man begged, "Give me more, otherwise my family won't be able to pay next month's rent."
"If you can't give it, that's your family's business and has nothing to do with me." The manager said impatiently: "I also work for others. Don't embarrass me and leave quickly."
The man seemed to be hung by a rope around his neck, and he didn't know how he said the next words. "Can you give us some silk thread on credit? You know our family is always honest and never defaults on anything."
The steward said coldly: "If you want to buy things, you have to find someone else. I just collect the things. Stop talking nonsense here. You didn't see that I have other things to be busy with. Can you afford to delay the Hong family's affairs?"
Qi Renli noticed the steward's gaze and knew that he was the steward who was busy.
What a big arrogance, Qi Ren stood in the official office, and I have never seen anyone with such a big arrogance.
"Brother Yang." Qi Renli came to Yang Zheng's side, "That man is leaving. You should find a way to follow him and take a look."
Yang Zheng understood his intention and immediately nodded towards the side door that was about to close. He quickly ran over and blocked the wooden door. "Wait a minute, I can't hold it in anymore. Let's go out for a while."
The steward glanced at Yang Zheng, "If you go out from here, you have to stay outside. Our Hong family has strict rules, and there is a certain number of people who can enter through each door."
"Okay, okay, okay." Yang Zheng forced his way out of the door, "I really can't hold it in anymore." He shouted to Qi Renli again, "Sir, I'm waiting outside."
The steward immediately closed the door and said to the crowd: "Sir, your servants don't have any rules."
Qi Renli sneered, "He is not my servant."
The steward thought Qi Renli was blaming his subordinates for losing face outside and deliberately said angry words.
"The rules for servants still depend on how the master trains them..."
Before the man finished speaking, Qi Renli said impatiently: "Who are you, and you dare to tell the rules in front of me?" He couldn't bear it anymore, "If you Hong family looks down on my relatives, When it comes to business, just make it clear that I’m not here to fight with you.” (End of Chapter)
