"Master Yao?" Tan Zong was slightly stunned when he heard this, with a look of astonishment on his face, and he looked at Du in surprise.

"Mr. Yao's people are coming to pick them up. If nothing happens, Du will be busy preparing." Seeing Tan Zong's expression at this time, Du thought he was afraid, and sneered in his heart and began to chase people out.[]

"Master Yao? Are you sure it's Master Yao, not Master Wang or Master Fang?" Tan Zong smiled slightly and looked at Du quietly.

"It's Mr. Yao, the Master Yao who runs official salt in Yangzhou City." Seeing this, Du nodded affirmatively. In order to increase credibility, she specifically pointed out Mr. Yao's identity.

"What a pity, I really haven't heard of Mr. Yao." Tan Zong shook his head when he heard this, and looked at Du with a playful look. "I thought you could tell something amazing!"

Du was stunned when she heard this. She realized that she had been fooled by Tan Zong just now, and the other party was not afraid of Mr. Yao at all.

"Mom, mom, I'm hungry, I'm just having some food." At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the gate of the courtyard. A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in quickly, shouting in his mouth, smelling alcohol.

"Hey, Shimei!" The young man saw a group of men in blue standing in the yard, and was wonderingly. He suddenly saw Shi Shi in the room, looking surprised, "Why are you back? Do you really want to marry that half-dead old man?"

"Where did you die last night? You didn't return overnight." Seeing the young man talking nonsense, Du's face turned cold, and walked over and reached out to grab his ear.

"Live on the Red Mansion!" The young man broke away from Du and said to her with a smile, "Mom, get some food for you. I drank all night last night and was almost starving to death."

"You are a loser, you actually went to Yihonglou. Is there a place you can go?" Du heard this and was furious and grabbed the young man's ear again, "Say, where did the money to go to Yihonglou come from? Did you steal the bride gift from Mr. Yao?"

"Be gentle, be gentle, your ears are about to fall off." The young man tilted his head and grinned, "I don't want that old man's money, it was given to me by Shimei."

"Shi Shi gave you?" Du was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the young man's ears again and said gritting his teeth, "I actually said I could lie. Shi Shi's monthly salary is only a few coins of silver. With the kind of gold-selling cave like the Red Mansion, there is no five taels of silver that can allow you to spend the night there."

"Mom, I didn't lie to you. It was indeed given to me by Sister Shi." The young man quickly defended himself loudly, and then asked in surprise, "Why, don't you know what happened to Ruyi Gambling the night before yesterday?"

"Ruyi Gambling House?" Seeing that the young man did not look like he was lying, Du couldn't help but let go of his ears, with a look of confusion.

The young man rubbed his ears and briefly told the story that happened at Ruyi Gambling Shop the night before yesterday. When talking about the shocking duel between Tan Zong and Xie Laohei, Du froze there in a daze. 28,000 taels, she couldn't imagine how much it was.

At this moment, Du Shi truly felt the extraordinary origin of Tan Zong. Although Boss Yao was a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou City, he claimed to be rich, if he had calculated it carefully, his entire industry would be only about 10,000 taels. How could he carry 7,000 taels of silver notes compared to Tan Zong? He even didn't even blink when he bets. This courage was beyond what ordinary wealthy businessmen could have.

After the young man finished speaking, Du stayed there first. After understanding that Shi Shi was now six hundred taels, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said to the young man, "Fortunately you are back, otherwise I would have been deceived by Boss Yao. He actually wanted to marry Shi Shi with a bride price of one hundred taels, which was simply a daydream!"

"Your Excellency is Mr. Huang?" The young man had already noticed Tan Zong in the room. He looked him up and down, walked forward and asked with a smile.

"I'm going to Huang Han." Tan Zong felt that the young man had a good relationship with Shi Shi, so he nodded at him.

"Scholar Shi Hua, a scholar in Yangzhou Prefecture, is Shi Shi's second brother." The young man smiled slightly when he heard this and reported to himself.

Although Shi Hua is Du's son, he has a very good relationship with Shi Kui and Shi Shi. When he was a child, he often gave Shi Kui and Shi Shi the good things he had hidden secretly, so he was criticized by Du a lot.

Shi Hua is now studying in the prefecture of Yangzhou Prefecture. When Shi Shi came back yesterday, he gave him a 100 taels of silver bill to make him spend money. So Shi Hua invited his classmates to go to the Red Mansion to be casual and spend twenty taels of silver at once.

"Shi Shi, it's Er Niang who is not good. Er Niang doesn't know that Mr. Huang is in love with you. If he had known it, he would definitely not let you marry Mr. Yao." After experiencing the initial shock, Du reacted and held Shi Shi's hand with guilt.

In Du's opinion, Tan Zong gave Shi Shi 600 taels of silver in the casino alone. If Shi Shi really got along with him and became his concubine, if he had flattered him, he would not have treated him badly. He would have to buy a courtyard for his mother-in-law in Yangzhou, and with a few maids, it would be hundreds of times better than Mr. Yao.

Hearing the four words "two love each other", Shi Shi couldn't help but turn red. She glanced at Tan Zong and lowered her head. The free and easy expression that Tan Zong showed at Ruyi Gambling the night before yesterday deeply touched her heart and fell in love with the romantic and unruly Tan Zong.

At this moment, a burst of joy and crackling sounds of firecrackers came faintly on the street.

"Not good, Mr. Yao's flower bridge is here to accept Shi Shi." Du raised his ears and listened, his face changed, and he looked at Tan Zong.

Yesterday, she not only accepted Mr. Yao's bride price, but also took advantage of Shi Shi's father's visit to a private school to teach, and signed a marriage letter with the matchmaker on his back. In a legal sense, Shi Shi is already Mr. Yao's person.

Tan Zong smiled slightly, opened the folding fan with a thud, shaking it slightly, looking confident.

Du looked at Shi Shi worriedly, but saw that Shi Shi's face was normal and she was not anxious at all. Then she felt a little relieved and waited nervously.

"Sister-in-law, are you ready?" Not long after, a wedding party stopped at the door of Shi Shi's house. Amid the sound of firecrackers, a matchmaker walked into the yard with a smile, followed by several maids holding wedding dresses, jewelry boxes and rouge boxes, ready to dress Shi Shi.

The neighbors immediately surrounded the gate of the yard and whispered to each other. The children didn't care about it and rushed into the yard with chatter. The Shi family's yard, which was originally small, suddenly became crowded.

"Sister-in-law, this is Miss Shi, she looks so handsome." The matchmaker was stunned when she saw the big men in blue in the yard, then walked into the yard. After seeing Shi Shi, she walked up and down to look at Du Shi on the side with a smile.

Du's expression seemed quite awkward and smiled at the matchmaker.

"Why don't you come and dress up Miss Shi." The matchmaker felt something strange from Du's unnatural expression. She glanced at Tan Zong in the room, shouted at the maids behind her, and then said to Du with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Mr. Yao is really unspeakable to Miss Shi. Not only did he send a bride-welcome team, but he also set up a courtyard in the mansion for Miss Shi to live in. Sister-in-law can also stay when she has time."

Several maids walked towards Shi Shi. Before they could come to Shi Shi, Tao Yong led two big men to stand up in front of them.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Seeing this, the matchmaker looked at Du suspiciously.

"I think your Master Yao may have made a mistake. Shi Shi is already my maid. If Master Yao wants to marry her, then I must obtain the consent of my master." Du heard this and looked at Tan Zong helplessly. Tan Zong smiled slightly and fanned leisurely.

"Sister-in-law, we have signed a marriage contract. If we go back on our word, we will have to sue." The matchmaker was finally sure that the handsome young man in front of him was here to disrupt the situation, so he said to Du, with a hint of threat in his tone, "You have to think clearly that the relationship between our prefect and Mr. Yao is extraordinary."

"What's going on?" As soon as the matchmaker finished speaking, a voice sounded in the yard. A middle-aged man led several servants in. Seeing Tao Yong and others blocking the maids' way, he asked in a deep voice.

"Butler Yang." Seeing this, the matchmaker hurriedly walked to the middle-aged man and whispered a few words in his ear.

The middle-aged man is the second housekeeper of Mr. Yao, with his surname Yang. Mr. Yao is a little worried and is afraid of something wrong. So after the wedding team left, he thought about it and specially sent him to take Shi Shi.

"This young master, our master has signed a marriage agreement with Miss Shi. Miss Shi is now the ninth wife of the Yao Mansion. If the young master forcibly obstructs him, he will be sued." Butler Yang frowned slightly when he heard this, bowed to Tan Zong and said calmly.

"Since my young master is here today, there is naturally a reason for my young master. If you want to know the reason, let your master come here in person." Tan Zong did not pay attention to Butler Yang, looked up at the sparrows on the big tree in the yard, and Tao Yong said to Butler Yang with a loud voice.

"Are you a little too lie? Although the Yao Mansion is a small family in Yangzhou Mansion, he also has a few friends in the officialdom." Seeing Tan Zong so arrogant, Butler Yang was furious when he heard this. He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Tan Zong coldly.

"You know that you are a small family and dare to come out to embarrass you? You are too ignorant." Tan Zong smiled slightly, with a arrogant look on his face.

"You..." Butler Yang stared at Tan Zong angrily when he heard this, arrogant. The person in front of him was simply too arrogant.

Although he was extremely annoyed, after witnessing Tan Zong's proud style, Butler Yang really didn't dare to say anything too much. God knows what the young man in front of him is.

After looking at Tan Zong, Butler Yang turned around and left with a pale face. He knew that staying here would only bring shame to himself, so he rushed back to report to Mr. Yao.

"Shi Shi, Mr. Yao is not easy to mess with." Seeing that Butler Yang left angrily, Du couldn't help but worry.

"Er Niang, it's okay, Mr. Huang will handle it." Although Shi Shi was nervous, she believed Tan Zong and spoke out to comfort Du.

Although Butler Yang left, the wedding teams could not leave, and the musicians were still playing joy there.

The neighbors outside the gate of the courtyard were buzzing and talking.

Tan Zong sat there leisurely and fanned his fan. The reason why he acted so arrogantly just now was not only to solve the problem of Shi Shi's engagement, but also wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Judging from the fact that Zheng Long and others were executed, there must be some unknown dark side in the salt road.

About an hour later, a group of people rushed into the yard, leading by a middle-aged man in his thirties, with Butler Yang following closely behind him.

"I'm in Yao Qingyuan, I don't know what the young master calls him." The middle-aged man in Jinyi glanced at the people in the room, bowed to Tan Zong who was sitting on the chair, and said.

"Huang Han." Tan Zong stood up and bowed his hand to Yao Qingyuan.

"Mr. Huang, this is the wedding of Miss Shi and her father." Yao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

Tan Zong took it and looked at it. It was indeed the wedding letter between Shi Shi and Mr. Yao. It had the name and handprints of Du, as well as the name and handprints of the Chinese man, and it had legal effect.

"Come on, I have something to show you here for Brother Yao." After Tan Zong returned the engagement to Yao Qingyuan, he nodded at Tao Yong, and Tao Yong immediately gave a piece of paper to Yao Qingyuan.

"This..." Yao Qingyuan took it and looked at Tan Zong in surprise.

"Brother Yao, you can see clearly. The date on my item is one day earlier than Ling Zun." Tan Zong's face turned cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent. "If Shi Shi was married by Ling Zun, how could he have the face?"

"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding. Ling Zun didn't know that Miss Shi was already Mr. Huang's man." He clearly felt the murderous aura that disappeared in a flash of time on Tan Zong. Cold sweat suddenly flowed down Yao Qingyuan's forehead. He returned the paper in his hand to Tao Yong and said to Tan Zong with a wry smile.

"Actually, I am not that unreasonable person, but sometimes I am really forced to do so." Seeing Yao Qingyuan being scared and sweated, Tan Zong smiled at him, "I think Brother Yao already knows what to do."

"Young Master Huang, Ling Zun is an unintentional act this time. He offended many of them, and I hope he can forgive him." Yao Qingyuan came back to his senses, tore the wedding letter in his hand apart in a few seconds, and bowed to Tan Zong.

"Those who don't know are not guilty." Tan Zong nodded with a smile, and also bowed to Yao Qingyuan, "I wish Lingzun will marry Mrs. Ninth as soon as possible, and I will definitely give you a generous gift at that time."

Yao Qingyuan bowed to Tan Zong, led his men and left with the dowry gifts he sent yesterday.

"Okay, you can sleep peacefully tonight." After Yao Qingyuan and others left, Tan Zong also stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he took the piece of paper from Tao Yong's hand and put it into Shi Shi's hand with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master." Shi Shi smiled and glanced at Tan Zongfu.

Tan Zong originally thought Shi Shi would ruin the paper, but who would have thought Shi Shi would always treasure it, but he left behind a "romantic debt" that could be cut and chaotic.

"Second Master, who is this Mr. Huang?" On the way back to Yao Mansion, Manager Yang could not control his confusion and asked suspiciously to Yao Qingyuan, who had a gloomy face.

Yao Qingyuan is the second son of Mr. Yao, and the servants in the family call him the second master.

"Do you still remember the big bet at Ruyi Gambling House the night before yesterday?" Yao Qingyuan was thinking about his thoughts. Hearing the Yan glanced at Manager Yang and said lightly.

"Ruyi Gambling House?" Manager Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face changed, "He is the one who bets against Xie Laohei."

"This person's identity is definitely not simple. If you are not careful, the Yao family may be in trouble." Yao Qingyuan let out a long sigh, his eyes appearing a little confused.

Before coming, Yao Qingyuan was not clear about the identity of the person who stopped Shi Shi from getting married. When he heard Tan Zong say the word "Huang Han", he immediately realized that this person was the person who bet against Xie Laohei, and his words and behavior immediately became cautious, and he wanted to retreat.

Although the Yao family is extremely glorious in the eyes of outsiders, he knew that some people were definitely not afforded by the Yao family, otherwise they might cause disaster to destroy the family.
