Chapter 123: Zhang Fuling
In front of Donglai Inn.
With a shout, the carriage stopped, and Pang Xiao and Zhou Heng got off the car respectively.
At Pang Xiao's instructions, a man in black had already gone to the cabinet to inquire about Mrs. Zhang's residence. The shopkeeper was stunned and quickly walked out of the cabinet and saluted the man in black.
"May I ask, is this guy sent by Doctor Zhou?"
The man pointed to Zhou Heng and Pang Xiao standing outside the door and said, "Doctor Zhou and others are waiting outside."
The shopkeeper quickly walked out the door and bowed to Zhou Heng and Pang Xiao, looking humble.
"Doctor Zhou, the youngest one is the shopkeeper of Donglai Inn. Come with me. Mrs. Zhang has already told you that you can go to the backyard at any time if you come."
Zhou Heng nodded, and the few of them followed the shopkeeper to a yard behind. It was a very secluded place, not as noisy as the front yard, and the courtyard was also very exquisite.
When he arrived at the door of the house, the shopkeeper quickly called the door.
"Mrs. Zhang, Dr. Zhou is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened by the woman he had seen before. Then Mrs. Zhang quickly walked to the door and came out.
"Doctor Zhou is really trustworthy, please sit in there quickly."
Zhou Heng made a few polite words, and the few people sat in and then Zhou Heng introduced:
"This uncle Xiao is one of my uncles. He is interested in buying a courtyard. I want to ask you about the price. In addition, the other small courtyard mentioned by Mrs. Zhang, I don't know where? Should I sell it together or separately?"
Mrs. Zhang laughed and signaled the two to have a cup of tea.
"The old house is the courtyard on the west side of Meiyuan. It is a three-entry courtyard. The landscape is pretty good. An old man was left to clean and repair it. I just took a look and it was kept pretty good. As for the other courtyard, it was on the West Street. There was originally a shop here, but the man didn't want to use the courtyard when buying a shop, so the backyard was idle. The location is not far from your Huichun Hall, and it was Yipinzhai Jade Shop."
Pang Xiao suddenly realized, approached Zhou Heng and said:
"The boss of Yipinzhai Jade Store is the same as the porcelain store next door. The backyard of the porcelain store is quite large, so I guess it won't be used."
Zhou Heng suddenly felt energetic. He often passed by the jade business. Although the business was not very prosperous, this business had been open for three years, and it was only two shops from Huichuntang, which was simply ideal.
Zhou Heng quickly clasped his fists and said:
"To be honest, Mrs. Zhang, I found a courtyard, but there was no suitable one. Huichuntang was a little small, and the pharmaceutical workshops behind it were not enough. I wanted to expand it, but I couldn't find a suitable one."
Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhou Heng and smiled, "We live in this Donglai Inn, and have been listening to people discussing this disaster relief. The county master is capable of disaster relief, and praises it to you. You Huichuntang. This time, you can control the epidemic depends entirely on Dr. Zhou's medical skills."
Zhou Heng was embarrassed to be praised, and didn't know how to answer the words for a while. When Mrs. Zhang saw Zhou Heng's embarrassing look, she covered her mouth and smiled.
"I have seen Doctor Zhou's character and medical skills. Since you want to buy it, the price is easy to say. I asked about it. Now the ordinary house that has been in use for three times is about 2,800 taels. However, the city is busy with disaster relief and there are fewer merchants. I don't need to pay this price. It's enough to cost 1,800 taels of silver. As for the small courtyard, the house is relatively old. If you buy it and need to repair it carefully, you will give it a 200 taels of silver."
Zhou Heng was stunned. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang could kill the price to the ground all at once. The two thousand taels were just like picking up for free. You should know that your Huichun Hall would cost nearly 1,700 taels of silver.
The shop in front is only two floors, covering less than one-quarter of the area, and there are many backyard houses. According to Pang Xiao, the courtyard behind the Jade Shop is more spacious than the backyard of Huichuntang, which is too cheap.
Zhou Heng quickly stood up and bowed to Mrs. Zhang and said:
"Madam, this price is too low, you"
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and interrupted Zhou Heng's words.
"I didn't think about making more money, but my ancestral home is here. I always miss every tree and every tree here. I don't have to worry about it all the time. Dr. Zhou was able to sell it for me, so don't care too much."
Pang Xiao reached out and fumbled on his body, took out the silver notes, lit out 1,800 taels, and placed them on the table.
"If Mrs. Zhang decides this, we will go directly to the yamen to change the deed."
Mrs. Zhang laughed, "Then the relationship is good, let's go to the yamen together."
Zhou Heng fumbled on his body, his face a little embarrassed. He didn't carry the box just now, and the silver notes were in the clinic. He didn't expect to handle the matter so quickly.
"On the way to the yamen, I went back to get the money. I just came out in a hurry and didn't bring enough silver notes."
Pang Xiao saw that Zhou Heng didn't say anything else, reached out to fumble on his body, took out two hundred taels of silver notes, and handed them to Mrs. Zhang.
"I'll pay together."
Zhou Heng quickly stood up and bowed to Pang Xiao, "Thank you for helping Xiao Bo, I will pay you back when I go back."
Pang Xiao looked up at Zhou Heng. After knowing each other for more than a month, he could understand Zhou Heng's temper. This person is good at everything, but he just can't bear to spend money.
But thinking about the house next door, it is already a low price to win two thousand taels. Besides, after running for many days, I haven't found a suitable one, so I don't want to care about these things too much.
"Doctor Zhou, don't think too much. I'll go there to tell my master that it's a great help to help us buy a house. Just think that you earned it by only 200 taels."
Zhou Heng quickly stood up and bowed to Pang Xiao, "How can you be so embarrassed?"
Pang Xiao's face darkened, "If you feel embarrassed, you can give me two hundred taels."
Zhou Heng was stunned and then laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, Xiao Bo was joking. Let's go to the yamen and then go to see the house."
After saying that, before Pang Xiao refuted, he got up and went out. Mrs. Zhang was already laughing so hard that she was behind. Pang Xiao fell behind and did not look at Zhou Heng, but looked at Mrs. Zhang thoughtfully.
"Don't you know Mrs. Zhang's heart?"
Mrs. Zhang paused, looked at Pang Xiao in surprise, and then said in surprise:
"The old man knows my husband?"
This time Pang Xiao was stunned. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang was really Zhang Fuling's wife. She quickly sorted out her robe and bowed to Mrs. Zhang seriously:
"I'm so rude. I didn't expect that you are really Mr. Zhang Fuling's wife. The old slave accompanied his master to live in Meiyuan temporarily. He had the honor to meet Mr. Zhang Fuling and had to help him save him. He survived until today. Please ask Mrs. Zhang Fuling to accept my worship on behalf of me."
As he said that, he directly lifted his clothes and knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang and the woman were already a little confused. She could hear the word Meiyuan clearly. It was obvious that the person in front of her was Meiyuan's manager, but why did this have something to do with her husband? It seemed that she was kind to others.
I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I stomped my feet in a hurry.
"My uncle is asking me up quickly, and I'm confused. I'm fine. Let's get up and talk? What happened in a while? Can you tell me?"
Pang Xiao got up and couldn't hide his excitement on his face.
"This matter is a long story. Three years ago, early summer, my master and I moved from the capital to Meiyuan in Qingping County. As for the master's identity, you know it. As soon as I left Jinan Prefecture and arrived in Mushan, our convoy was attacked. A group of people seemed to know where we are precious and delicate, so they killed us directly. I quickly went to protect my property, but who knew that this was a plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain. Someone rushed directly to the master's carriage and horse, raised his knife and chopped it."
Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth with a silk trouser, looking like a thrilling scene that she had seen with her own eyes.
"What happened later?"
"Later, I found something wrong, so I quickly went back to protect. The master was rescued, but all the eight guards guarding the master were killed. There were too many people on the other side, so we had no choice but to flee to the official road. It happened to meet a convoy of Lord Zhang Fuling. Lord Zhang refused to let us rescue us. Those who were chasing him saw that the convoy was protecting us, so he evacuated. This life-saving grace always wanted to repay, but unfortunately he never met again. I heard that Lord Zhang had already taken office in the capital. That time was just arranging my father's funeral. I really felt glad to meet him by chance today. I came and went in a hurry and did not leave my name. Today I was a little excited to hear that you were Lord Zhang's family and old slave."
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that there would be such a thing. However, in early summer three years ago, my husband did go back to Qingping County, but he didn't expect that he was so destined to be so destined.
