In the early morning, when the silent Jinling City woke up from the faint mist, clear laughter was floating everywhere on the roads where people came and went and shops were lined up.

The sun rose and emitted thousands of rays of rays of rays of rays. From the gaps of the heavy green leaves, rays of transparent light golden light reflected in the city, and the air was filled with the fresh atmosphere of fog and the soil outside the city.

Outside Shuntian Mansion, Zhang Bao, who had finished the work, bowed to Jiang Li with silver notes, and returned home with satisfaction.

Zhang was very happy after asking, and Zhang Bao said, "This matter is thanks to Mr. Kang. If he hadn't written the aphorism in a reasonable way, they might not have been willing to pay honestly, and the government would not have been able to take the autopsy so quickly. It would have been fine for three or four days. Now that I have received such a huge sum of money, it is enough for us couples to benefit the rest of our lives. It's not that I'm so heartless that my daughter can't sell it at this high price when she's alive, so if I think about it carefully, this is all Mr. Kang's power, and we have to thank others heavily."

Zhang said, "If you don't say it, I'm just about to discuss it with you. Mr. Kang will not treat you lightly, and he will rely on him more in the future."

Zhang Baoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Give him five hundred taels. The compensation of six thousand taels is probably not concealed."

Five hundred taels? Ruyu, who was listening on the side, was secretly surprised. She thought it was worth it?

Even though she is smarter than her parents, she is undoubtedly far behind in terms of human affairs, experience and insight.

"Five hundred taels of silver are too light. Slightly people are self-respecting." Zhang said, "Isn't there a silver note worth 1,000 taels per head? It's better to thank him. I'd rather give him more and make him happy, so that he won't let others hate us. If you lose the backer of Xu Kun, you can't offend anyone anymore."

Ruyu became more and more surprised. Naturally, she didn't know that her parents had money and had already made up their minds to stay in the capital, so she had to curry favor with a master like Kang Shifeng. In addition, Fujianese people are concerned about repaying kindness and are always not stingy in their actions.

Zhang Bao smiled and said, "I think so too, I'm afraid that if I give it too much, you won't be able to bear it. You're willing to do it. What's wrong with me?"

The Zhang couple inadvertently taught their little daughter a lesson. Zhang Bao went to Kang's house, and when he arrived at the door, he knocked on the door with his hands.

"Who?"

Gao, who was inside, walked out and saw that it was Zhang Bao. Seeing that he couldn't hide his joy, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zhang, I guess the lawsuit has been completed."

Zhang Bao smiled and said, "Thank you, my sister-in-law, for your concern. The lawsuit has been settled privately. Is sir at home?"

"Writing something at home." Gao stretched out his hand and invited him, "Brother Zhang, please sit inside."

This is how things in the world are. In the past few days, the Zhang family's affairs have been spread. The defendant dared not confront each other in court. The accused was well written, so people found out who came from.

In addition, Kang Shifeng also figured it out and took the initiative to lower the charging standards in order to support his family, and immediately came one after another and earned a few dollars.

At this moment, there was a family's aphorism. Kang Shifeng was sitting in the room and pondering. When he saw Zhang Bao walking in, he quickly got up to greet him.

Zhang Bao thanked first, and took the seat with the guest and Kang Shifeng smiled and said, "I just came out of the yamen and heard that the case has been cancelled. Congratulations, your daughter can be considered as having her eyes closed."

Zhang Bao said respectfully: "Thanks to the blessings of Mr. Lucky, and also to provide great support. The villain came to thank him and prepared some other filial piety. I hope Mr. Lucky will accept it with a smile."

As he said that, he took out the 1,000 taels of silver notes, and Zhang Bao stood up and handed it to him with both hands. Kang Shifeng stood up and took it seriously. He said that he was just a little bit, which was only about 180 taels. Why should he be so polite? He spread it out and saw that it was a 1,000 taels.

Kang Shifeng's heart suddenly jumped a few times. He thought he had read it wrong, so he took a closer look. It was 1,000 taels, and asked quickly: "How much does this lawsuit have to be obtained? Why does it benefit me so much? I would like to ask for advice."

Zhang Baoxin pleased him and said with a smile: "I'm going to hide it from the costs, and I'll just lose all these." He stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers.

Kang Shifeng slapped the table and said in surprise: "Brother Zhang, you are really lucky. I never expected that there would be so much. It seems that I was lucky to be your blessing. I didn't say anything, your brother is a friend, and it's worth my hard work.

The more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative. Zhang Bao saw that there were pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, and knew that it was inconvenient to sit for a long time, so he could not delay other people's business, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Kang Shifeng took his hand and said, "I won't stay today. I will definitely invite my brother to have a chat someday another day."

"Okay." Zhang Bao agreed with a smile, walked out of the door, bowed and left.

Kang Shifeng stood under the eaves for a long time without moving. Gao felt strange and walked out and asked, "What's wrong?"

After a long time, Kang Shifeng, who was ecstatic, sighed: "I never dreamed that I have never dreamed that I have only written a letter to others this time without caring about money. Who knew that good intentions would be rewarded, and they came to repay them specifically. Interesting, interesting, this transaction is a joyful business."

Gao asked, "How much money? I actually made you look like this."

Kang Shifeng laughed three times and said, "If I don't have any, I'm so happy? Tell you, you're just one thousand taels of silver with enough pattern. Do you think you're happy?"

Gao was so happy that he didn't faint, and he said with his hands together: "Amitabha! My husband and I finally have the hardships and joys. I wondered how the magpies kept chirping on the roof in the past two days. It turned out that it was the news of the good news."

Kang Shifeng said with emotion: "It was only from Brother Zhang that I learned the principles of being a human being. People know how to repay kindness and I have to start doing good deeds and accumulate virtues. Well, from now on, I will not eat this prison transaction. I will help the poor to sue. I am willing to give you a few cents. I only want God to reward me with a pair of children. Anyway, I have this thousand silver. Let's ask relatives and friends to buy some real estate in the county and countryside to make permanent property. By the way, I will hire you a servant and a little girl to serve you."

Zhang said with a smile: "Everyone is the leader."

In a yard not far from Xu's mansion, Su Lan's master's wife, Aunt Yun, was combing Su Lan's head. Xu Hao walked in with his hands behind his back and said, "Now, they are washing their hair frequently. Why don't you cut their long hair shorter? It's cooler in summer. What do you think?"

Aunt Yun smiled and said, "She is the old man now. She will do whatever she wants. What does the old man do?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I think I am the one who counts me? I don't necessarily have to!"

"Why aren't you considered an old man?" Aunt Yun smiled and said, "I sent my daughter over here. Can I still take her back? Even if the old man is willing to let go, she doesn't want to. Hehe, I'm so old, what else can I understand?"

"Oh." Xu Hao couldn't help but complain to Huilan. If someone discovered this, his reputation would be completely ruined.

The woman who thought she had caught a big fish kept chattering and said to herself: "I said, the old man should have made a day or two to repair the house, buy some furniture, and clean up the house one day earlier. Although it is an outdoor room, living here without names is like a god without temples, it is not a rule. As for Su Lan and I, although I treat it as my own daughter, I have two surnames, let alone the old man can't let me live in, what is it that I live in you? What's more, there is some inconvenience."

Xu Hao hurriedly said, "You are thoughtful, I agree with you from the bottom of my heart, and you guessed it all. Why didn't you say it earlier? If you want to say it earlier, I'd have done it long ago." As he said that, he smiled at Su Lan and said, "Okay! I'll find someone to repair the house this afternoon. Thank you, Master's wife."

"I." Aunt Yun opened her mouth and said a lot, and she only opened one head. She planned to slowly get to the point, but before she could even get into the alley, Xu Hao directly interrupted the topic.

As a result, she would continue to talk about her own affairs, so she combed Sulan's hair in disappointment and washed her hands.

Su Lan walked over and poured tea and peeled fruits to serve Xu Hao, with a smile on her face.

Aunt Yun rolled up a cigarette, sat on the chair and smoked slowly, sprayed out a mouthful of smoke, and said to Xu Hao with a smile: "Since the uncle wants to collect Sulan, I have something to say, don't know whether to say it or not."

Xu Hao sat on the soft couch opposite, letting Sulan knead his legs and said, "Please tell me."

Su Lan suddenly lowered her head, and Aunt Yun said, "I have always spoken happily. Nowadays, I always have to say what I should say. Now she is the old man. Like her uncle and aunt, I have no husband and have lived through her for the years. Now, I have no hope at all. Unlike Qiushuitang, there is a large group of apprentices who can live the same life without Qin Yan. Besides, Qin Yan asked people to spend money to pay for the master before leaving. At my age, I don't plan to eat this bowl of rice. In ten days and a half months, I will leave Beijing and go back to my hometown.

However, over the past few years, I have not done well and lost more than 10,000 taels of silver. My uncle, I have said one thing: Su Lan has been working hard and has paid back several thousand taels of silver for me in just two years. It is rare that the old man has supported me these days and has helped pay back one thousand taels of debt. Now the remaining debts outside are still more than 5,000 taels."

"Yes." Xu Hao nodded, knowing that what she said was true, which is also why Huilan asked for her.

Aunt Yun is a man who is addicted to gambling. After her husband died of illness, she ran out to gambling day and night, losing all the savings left by her husband. When Changqing was alive, she couldn't stand it anymore and proposed to buy her other half of Qiushuitang, and completely parted ways with her teacher and sister-in-law.

Aunt Yun, who was being collected from debt, agreed immediately, and then only Su Lan was left by her side. In order to go gambling, she forced Su Lan to pick up guests and socialize. From then on, Su Lan and Qin Yan can be said to have different fates from each other.

Su Lan is strong inside, far from comparable to Qin Yan. Not only does she hide all the hardships in her heart, she also repeatedly helps Qin Yan persuade Qin Yan. Huilan sees them all in her heart, so she chooses to help her good sisters escape from the sea of ​​suffering without hesitation.

Xu Hao looked at Su Lan with her head down, and her fingers were trembling.

Aunt Yun continued, "I dare not ask for anything else, I just want the uncle to finish my debt and I am satisfied."

Xu Hao said, "You mean you want 5,000 taels of silver, probably more than this number. Right?"

"Oh! How dare I ask for any money?" Aunt Yun smiled embarrassedly: "But Sulan has already followed the uncle. I hope you can do me a favor for her sake."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Don't look at me dressed well, I'm actually a poor man. I can't take out so much money at once. I have to give me time and raise money slowly."

"Don't be humble." Aunt Yun sneered, "The day before, the old man came to our house. When those young masters saw you, they seemed like a mouse had seen a cat. Although I couldn't find out your identity, I could tell at a glance that they were either rich or noble."

"Can you tell me this?" Xu Hao laughed, "It's not that I'm polite. After all, how can I just take out the five or six thousand silvers? My family is not the mansion of those Dukes."

Aunt Yun said with a little disappointed: "I've heard from the uncle. Who said you must take it out immediately?"

"I will definitely help pay back the money," Xu Hao said slowly, pausing and continued, "But I have to ask those creditors first. I have a problem with this person. I don't pay the usury loan. If I don't accept it, I have some ways to cure them. Jinling's three-part land will sell me a little bit of thinness."

Aunt Yun swallowed and said dryly, "As long as you don't cause trouble for me, you can do whatever you want."

As the two were talking, Su Lan held a teacup in both hands, lowered her head and drank sips, listening quietly to them, not daring to make a sound, and was extremely nervous.

This is the negotiation. Regarding her future negotiations, the reason why she did not regain her freedom with just one sum of money like Qin Yan, nor did she make money and start a business. She could never get rid of her master's wife's gambling debts that she could never pay. Of course, no one was willing to redeem her for her. It's a pity that even the brothers Xu Ye and Xu Yu could not afford a huge sum of five or six thousand taels.

After the negotiations were over, Huilan was inconvenient to interrupt, and the room was quiet for a while.

Aunt Yun coughed twice and said without saying a word: "Uncle, the weather is good today. Wouldn't you go out for a trip with Sulan?"

Xu Hao stood up and said, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going to rest today. I'm leaving."

Su Lan still sat quietly and watched him leave without saying a word. Aunt Yun said, "Hmph! You really know how to pretend to be stupid, and you don't say the right thing. Why don't he settle my debts and see if I can agree?"

After a scan of his previous appearance, he spoke fiercely. Su Lan was used to seeing it and was too lazy to touch it.

Aunt Yun asked, "Didn't he tell you anything?"

Sulan said softly: "I didn't say anything."

Aunt Yun snorted coldly: "He wants to accept you, how can you not say anything? I know, you have the same heart as him. How can you tell me what he said?"

Su Lan said, "You told me repeatedly and told me not to pay attention to the good. I will sooner or later be abandoned after I am in the outdoor room. So I don't say anything every time. When he sees that I don't want to listen, he doesn't mention it."

"Ph! Do you think I'm a fool?"

Aunt Yun sneered, "Don't fool me with sweet words. He is not an ordinary person, he is noble, middle-aged and elegant, and speaks with a witty voice. Aren't you willing to follow him? Being his outer room is better than being an ordinary wife. I see that his expression just now is definitely your idea.
