Just as Chu Rong was thinking about how to refute him, Huang Sheng who was beside him spoke first.
He made a bow, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "My shopkeeper and I came here for the name. Xingyulou is full of people coming and going every day. Our shopkeeper came here today not for anything else, but to learn from the scriptures. But We don't know you, shopkeeper Jin, so we have no choice but to line up, pay the money, and sit here quietly to learn."
Although Huang Sheng had a humble attitude, he explained very clearly that he and Chu Rong came here without doing anything, just being customers in peace. He didn't say this to Jin Jinxu at the time, he and the shopkeeper were probably being targeted since they came in, how could Jin Jinxu not know what the two of them did or didn't do. He was talking to the guests here, to help Chu Rong, and to explain the specialties of Chuzhuang.
After hearing this, Jin Zixu narrowed his slender eyes, looked Huang Sheng up and down, and then said to Chu Rong, "Miss Chu, you have a sharp mouth."
Huang Sheng, who is good at reading, can't have a good mouth, Chu Rong thought. If Huang Sheng hadn't said it so clearly, I'm afraid I would have to argue for a long time.
"We've finished learning the scriptures, shopkeeper Jin, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, my guy and I can plan to leave."
Jin Zi couldn't deny it, and this time he didn't stop them. Chu Rong snorted coldly, and walked towards the door without looking back.
Regarding today's trip to Xingyu Tower, Chu Rong's impression was that Jin Zixu didn't look like an easy person to deal with.
It was night, Chu Rong hugged Huang Shuhai and whispered some private conversations between husband and wife, while Huang Sheng on the other side was not at all comfortable.
He helped his old mother cook the medicine, and just as he came out of the kitchen holding soup, a black figure suddenly appeared behind him, and then covered his mouth with a piece of cloth. So Huang Sheng, a powerless scholar, fainted in a moment. A porcelain bowl fell to the ground in an instant and shattered. And the old woman in the room naturally didn't know, the ecstasy fragrance in the room hadn't dissipated yet.
After an unknown amount of time, Huang Sheng woke up. His hands were tied and locked in a room he had never been in. It was still dark at this time, and an oil lamp stood quietly on the table.
He panicked for a moment at first, but soon calmed down again. Although he didn't know who the person who tied him was, no matter what, this person just locked him in the room, and he probably didn't want his life.
Is it to seek debt? But he had already paid off all the debts after selling all his property, so who could he provoke as a powerless scholar?
There was some movement in the room, and the guards outside seemed to get excited, "Boss, you're awake."
"The shopkeeper?"
Not long after, a man came in. With a slender figure and a pair of overly shrewd eyes, isn't this the same treasurer Jin he met during the day?
The person came straight through the door and sat on a chair.
"What do you want to do?" Huang Sheng asked vigilantly.
Jin Zixu was not in a hurry to answer the question, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Isn't it Huang Sheng, the family was originally in the silk business, but later the business failed, and your father committed suicide, leaving behind your mother and your mother and son." The two of you are poor scholars now, working as a boy with Mrs. Chu, saving money to go to the imperial examination."
Huang Sheng glanced sideways at the gold shopkeeper in front of him, but didn't answer. He didn't know what kind of heart this man had for asking himself so clearly.
"I think you're a smart person. You said, what's the point of being a boy? It's just a matter of winking."
The man took another sip of tea, as if observing Huang Sheng's mind.
After hearing this sentence, Huang Sheng understood a little bit of the intention of the shopkeeper Jin. He probably wanted him to be a spy at Chu Rong's place, and cooperate with the inside and outside to bring down Chu Rong's shop.
Seeing that Huang Sheng didn't seem to respond, Jin Zixu continued, "As long as you can do what I say, I guarantee that you will have plenty of money to go to Beijing to catch up on the exam. Moreover, as long as you are willing to help me manage the shop, my Xingyulou will pay you back every year. All dividends will be your share."
Huang Sheng still didn't speak, his brows were furrowed, as if he was considering something.
"You are a smart person, I can see that you have the talent to manage the shop, then Chu Rong just let you be a little boy, wouldn't it be a waste of talent."
Jin Zixu said this, but the expression on his face was gloomy and malicious.
The next day, Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai both visited the shop again. It's a special period recently, and the two of them inevitably have to spend more time on the shop.
But Huang Sheng, who usually arrives early, for some reason today, has gone up three poles in the sun.??.
"What's the matter with Huang Sheng? He hasn't come yet. If he doesn't come, he won't come, and he won't say hello." Huang Shuhai complained.
"Maybe his old lady's health is wrong again, wait a minute." Chu Rong explained for him. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
