A knife in love

Chapter 1150

Li Qiufeng carefully put the silver bill back into his bosom, smiled shyly to himself, and said, "I'm ashamed, this is the first time I've had so much money in my bosom for such a big job. I'm a bit out of control, please don't make fun of me outside the office." .”

Zhang Shi smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Zhu is too worried. If you are so willful, it means that you will not be an outsider, and I am more at ease. Brother Zhu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "There is nothing else to do. You can rest assured that Zhu will do his best to help you complete this transaction."

Zhang Shi was overjoyed, picked up the wine glass, and said to Li Qiufeng: "After the matter is done, Brother Zhu will see more money. Come on, let's drink this cup, and we will be good brothers from now on. Everyone is blessed to make money together." Enjoy together, how happy?!"

Li Qiufeng raised his wine glass and touched Zhang Shi lightly.The two drank the wine each.Zhang Shi stood up again, filled the wine for Li Qiufeng himself, and said with a smile after sitting down: "Today is my happiest day, and I need to drink to my heart's content. Come, let's have another drink."

Li Qiufeng originally planned to ask when the big ship would leave and what cargo was on board.Just because he was afraid that Zhang Shi would become suspicious, he didn't ask.He just pretended to be happy and drank with Zhang Shi.The two exchanged glasses, and before they knew it, each of them had drunk six or seven glasses of wine.Zhang Shi was already slightly drunk, grabbed the wine jug and was about to pour Li Qiufeng another glass, when he realized that the two of them had already drank the whole jug of wine.He put the jug on the table, and was about to call the servant to bring the wine into the pavilion, but he heard someone outside the pond respectfully say: "Master Dong is back. He wants to see the master..."

Before the man finished speaking, Zhang Shi sneered and said viciously: "This bastard has the face to come back to see me?! Tell the accountant to give him five taels of silver and tell him to pack up and get out! Roll as far as you can, don't let me see him again in Ningbo Mansion!"

The person outside the pond agreed, and then the footsteps gradually faded away until there was no sound at all.

Zhang Shi said to Li Qiufeng: "This bastard surnamed Dong came to Zhang's mansion half a year ago, saying that he is the eldest disciple of the Hengshan School, and he has obtained the true biography of the head of the Hengshan School, and he will be the guarding martial artist of the Zhang mansion. I'll see This kid is very tough, let him compete with several martial masters in the mansion. He has some skills, and defeated these martial masters one by one. I believed his words, so I let him stay in the mansion and become a guarding martial artist The boss. Although this kid is greedy and cunning, he also secretly helped several big families in Ningbo to buy and sell by force. However, he does things properly and has a notorious reputation outside. Some rogues in the city I was afraid, so I didn't dare to trouble Zhang's family easily. So I just opened one eye and closed the other, and didn't interfere with him too much. Only after seeing Brother Zhu's martial arts today, did I know that he was surnamed Dong Damn it is a Mr. Nan Guo, who came to my house to make up for it. Just now he was defeated by Brother Zhu, and he ran away like a rabbit without a trace. I thought he had shown his old ways and had no face to see me again, so he escaped from Ningbo Mansion Unexpectedly, I would have the guts to come to see me with a shy face! Hmph, if I hadn't made Brother Zhu such a good friend, I would have been so happy, I would have beaten this bastard and sent him to the yamen for punishment."

Only then did Li Qiufeng realize that the person surnamed Dong turned out to be Zhang Shi's guarding martial artist, and he thought to himself, although this guy has the word "shi" in his name, what he said is not entirely true.It stands to reason that he didn't provoke the Zhang family, so how could Dong rush out to challenge him?Nine times out of ten, Zhang Shi deliberately let the surname Dong find trouble for him, so as to show off his prestige in front of the wealthy households in Sifang Lane.It's just that he didn't expect that the martial arts surnamed Dong was so common, and it was folded in his own hands.Zhang Shi lost face in front of everyone, and became furious. He wished he could beat the man surnamed Dong severely to vent his anger.

Zhang Shi scolded Dong surnamed, and then remembered that the wine in the flagon had been completely drunk.He patted the stone table with his hand, and said loudly, "Is anyone out of breath? Bring me another jug ​​of wine!"

Li Qiufeng saw that Zhang Shi was three points drunk, and was about to persuade him not to drink anymore, when he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.Immediately afterwards, the two male servants quickly walked around to the edge of the pond with silver pots in their hands, then trotted to the stone table, and put the silver pot on the stone table.Only then did Li Qiufeng see clearly that the silver basin contained hot water, and the wine jug was soaked in the hot water.The two male servants took out the jug and put it on the stone table, then they bowed and left the pavilion, leaving quietly.

Zhang Shi tremblingly wanted to get up and pour wine for Li Qiufeng with the jug.Li Qiufeng hurriedly stood up first, and said to Zhang Shi: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the inn. It's good for you to rest. I'll meet you tomorrow morning. Let's talk about going to sea in detail."

Zhang Shi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, you don't want to go anywhere! You will rest at my place tonight. The guest room has already been cleaned up for you. If you don't stay, you won't give me face!"

Seeing that Zhang Shi was already drunk, Li Qiufeng was about to say more, but Zhang Shi suddenly yelled: "Come here! Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps. Five or six servants of Zhang's mansion ran over from behind the flower trees, and they stopped walking when they reached the outside of the pavilion, standing with their hands down.Zhang Shi said to the servants: "You lead Mr. Zhu to the guest room to rest. Be sure to take good care of him. If there is anything wrong, be careful not to be kicked out of the house!"

The servants hastily bowed and agreed.Li Qiufeng still wanted to decline, but he heard Zhang Shi say: "Brother Zhu, even if you want to leave now, there is already a curfew outside, and there are officers, soldiers and police officers on night patrols everywhere. If there is a conflict with them, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. Or Wouldn't it be good to rest in my house for one night, and tomorrow we will discuss the matter of going to Fusang in detail?"

Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, then nodded, and said: "In that case, I have no choice but to bother Zhang Yuanwai."

Seeing that Li Qiufeng agreed, Zhang Shi liked it very much. He laughed and said, "We are good brothers, why should you be so polite? Brother Zhu, go and rest. As long as you are a member of my family, if you don't serve Brother Zhu well enough, you will definitely be treated as such." Severe punishment!"

After Zhang Shi finished speaking, his eyes flicked over the faces of the servants one by one.The servants stood with their heads bowed, not even daring to make a sound.Zhang Shi snorted and said, "Brother Zhu, let them go."

As soon as Zhang Shizhen's voice fell, two servants walked quickly to Li Qiufeng, bowed and said, "Master, please go to the guest room to rest with the villain."

Li Qiufeng nodded and bid farewell to Zhang Shi.Zhang Shi waved his hand, signaling him to leave first.Li Qiufeng followed the two servants out of the pavilion, across the Jiuqu Bridge, all the way out of the back garden, and into the second courtyard.Two servants held lanterns and led Li Qiufeng to the right wing.The servant who walked in front opened the door and bowed to invite Li Qiufeng to enter.Li Qiufeng didn't refuse, and walked in quickly.But I saw that the interior of the house was luxuriously decorated and divided into a lobby and an inner room.There are mahogany tables and chairs in the center of the lobby, surrounded by antique cabinets and screens.Every item is luxurious and heavy, and the price is obvious at a glance.

After Li Qiufeng entered the house, a servant followed in, but another servant stood guard at the door.The servant who entered the room said respectfully: "Master, wait a moment, we will bring you hangover soup and hot water for Musu."

Li Qiufeng was about to resign when he heard footsteps in the yard.Immediately afterwards, the servant who was guarding the door said: "The wooden bucket is already in the house, please pour the hot water into it quickly."

A moment later, four footmen came in, each carrying two large jugs.These people first bowed to Li Qiufeng and then walked to the inner room.Only then did Li Qiufeng realize that a large wooden barrel had already been placed on the floor of the inner room. Four male servants walked into the inner room and poured the hot water from the kettle into it.In a moment, the water vapor filled the air, making the entire inner room blurry.After the four male servants finished pouring the water, they immediately retreated, saluted Li Qiufeng, and hurried out of the house.

Seeing that all these people were respectful and polite, Li Qiufeng felt quite uneasy, and said to the male servant standing beside him, "Thank you for your hard work, guys. I have nothing to do here, everyone go back and rest."

The male servant said: "The master has ordered us to serve him carefully. The master will take a bath and change clothes first, and the villain will wait outside the house."

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "The next prodigal son, how dare you let everyone serve you? Brother, let's go back and rest."

The male servant was about to speak, but he heard footsteps coming from the yard again.The male servant said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang has arrived. She leads someone to wait for the uncle to bathe and change clothes. The villain is waiting outside the door and obeys the orders of the uncle."
