Fiancee weak and unable to take care of herself?

Chapter 24 Distress
"The young master's self-confidence is passed down in the same vein as the old master's."

Shopkeeper Shen said in an unclear manner.

Su Zijin shook his head, "Really? This is the first time I get along with my grandfather when I grow up. I don't know how my grandfather behaves, but I don't have the skills of my grandfather, so I can only be cautious."

"The Young Master said, leave Hou Yi and Lao Cai to find out?"

Shopkeeper Shen suddenly put away his smiling face and said.

Su Zijin wasn't surprised either. Hou Yi's acting skills just now were too exaggerated, and anyone could see that he just wanted to stay and investigate the situation.

"Shopkeeper Shen said that because he was afraid of what Old Cai would say?"

Shen Shixi shook his head, "I originally thought that the Young Master's family would not be able to bear the difficulty of the road and gave up halfway, but I didn't expect the Young Master's young age to have surprisingly good patience and physical strength, so he insisted on going there. Old Caitou is also clueless, and hinted at the Young Master's in front of me. I Originally, I didn’t expect to do it so soon.”

Su Zijin looked at the two big men looming over and frowned, "There were five people just now, now there are only two left, and the other three went to Hou Yi's place?"

Shopkeeper Shen nodded, "Young Master's family is smart, that's all."

Looking at shopkeeper Shen who was full of ambition, Su Zijin asked curiously, "Is shopkeeper Shen too hasty? You haven't met me a few times, and you don't know my identity and ability, so you just get rid of me so easily? Grandfather has been with you for many years, why doesn't he continue to be obedient?"

Shopkeeper Shen finally stopped being gentle, with a ferocious expression on his face, "Miss was kidnapped by a countryman who didn't know where he came from, and now he is sending the young one back to take the property. How can it be so simple in this world? After so many years , the old man has no descendants, I was busy running the business of the Chang family, otherwise, the shopkeeper underneath would have left the Chang family long ago. That is to say, the old man is blind, he doesn't know, he is now close to sixty years old, and has no For future generations, the people below want to find another way out and share the worries of the old club, this is human nature."

After finishing speaking excitedly, shopkeeper Shen's face returned to calm, "Young master, don't blame me, it's because you came back too suddenly, and the old master clearly wants to hand over the Chang family to you. Otherwise, we can still wait for the old master for a few minutes. Years, when he dies."

Su Zijin was taken for granted by shopkeeper Shen, "What do you think?"

"The Young Master's family shouldn't have appeared in the first place. I just want the Young Master's family to disappear as soon as possible, so as not to give unnecessary hope to the old master. Instead of waiting for the Chang family to be sent away as a dowry by you, a money-loser, I might as well give you a ride now. Do it!"

The two burly men who had been resting on both sides rushed forward. They looked like ordinary people who could not be found in the crowd. At this time, they showed a hideous look, and stretched out their hands to reach Su Zijin who was on the horse.

"stop!"

Su Zijin was going to get the whip that he had tied to the saddle, when suddenly a clear voice sounded, which caught the complacent shopkeeper Shen for a moment.The two strong men who came to grab Su Zijin accelerated their movements, trying to subdue Su Zijin before anyone came.

Su Zijin clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse's head struggled, and it raised high, scaring away the two strong men. The man who called to stop just now finally caught up, and knocked the two strong men over with one foot. land.

"Sister Zijin, are you okay?"

Facing the Xue family brothers and sisters and Wang Chujun who suddenly appeared, not only Su Zijin was surprised, but shopkeeper Shen was even more panicked.

He originally thought that he would take five strong men to deal with a little girl and a crooked subordinate in the wilderness. Going down the cliff, the old man Chang was sad, saying that he might not be able to see the King of Hades as soon as possible, and he could not do anything to him.

Who knows that extra problems will arise.

Xue Baozhu looked rejoicing, "Fortunately, my eldest brother and Young Master Wang got here after getting lost in the mountains, otherwise, you may be in danger. Sister Zijin, how are you? You are not scared, are you?"

Su Zijin let go of the whip, got off the horse, and shook his head, "It's okay."

Xue Zhaofeng looked at the panic-stricken shopkeeper Shen opposite, "Are you going to get caught without a fight and go back with us, or let us tie you back?"

Shopkeeper Shen looked around. This is the rugged road he specially chose. Even riding a horse would not be fast. Now that there is no hope of escaping on horseback, he dismounted, "Leave the two young masters to deal with it."

Xue Zhaofeng stepped forward, tied Shen Shixi neatly, and brought him in front of Su Zijin, "In the future, you should bring a few more guards when you go out. You are still young, and you don't know that people are evil."

Su Zijin didn't feel it, but still nodded his thanks, "Thank you Mr. Xue for your help."

"Let's go, we'll take you back."

Xue Baozhu said enthusiastically.

Su Zijin thought of Hou Yi, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with three people with his outstretched hands, so he nodded, "Let's go."

On the way back, Xue Baozhu suggested that Xue Zhaofeng take Su Zijin with him, but Su Zijin refused. Seeing that she was riding a horse safely, everyone nodded in agreement.

Only Xue Baozhu curled her lips and sat behind her eldest brother's horse, Su Zijin realized that it was she who wanted to ride with Prince Wang.

Back in Changfu, Chang Qingzhou was both angry and grateful for the generous actions of the younger generation of the Xue family next door. After thanking the Xue family several times, he returned home and looked at shopkeeper Shen kneeling under the hall with a gloomy expression.

"Shen Shixi, back then you repeatedly failed to come to my Chang family's tea plantation as a helper. You didn't care about farming and were physically weak. I gave you the opportunity to stay in Chang's family."

Shen Shixi was tied and knelt on the ground, looked up at his old club of more than ten years, but he didn't have the gray face when he was just arrested, and said calmly, "Old boss, you were also very famous in Shu County. Characters, both black and white will give you three points. But in the past few years, you are old and haven’t traveled far for a few years. I don’t know the Jiangnan shopkeeper and the Northwest shopkeeper. I am grateful for your kindness back then, rejected them, have been serving you, and have been loyal to you, except for today, I have not done anything to be sorry to you."

After listening to Shen Shixi's words, Chang Qingzhou seemed a little unbelievable and a little bit shocked.

Seeing his grandfather looking devastated, Su Zijin said, "You said you didn't do anything to offend the Chang family, what do you say to Lao Caitou today?"

At this time, Shen Shixi lost the usual respect for Su Zijin, and said directly with disdain, "Lao Caitou is a stick, otherwise he wouldn't be able to guard the tea garden of his ancestors and still be so poor, and even sold his ancestral property. His tea garden is our His business, not to mention the eating and drinking arrangement when I go to collect tea every year, even the annual hard work and tea expenses are also searched and refused to pay. I classify the tea he collects as inferior, just to teach him how to be a man .”

Su Zijin shook his head, "It's not enough? Old Caitou said today that when there is no flood, the output of tea gardens is fixed, and there will not be much difference every year. But according to the account book you handed in, the output is getting smaller every year. , I am afraid that all of these will be embezzled by you as hard-earned money, right?"

"Shen Shixi!" Chang Qingzhou said angrily, "You were disliked by the examiners because of your uprightness back then. , withholding, and making false accounts! Do you still have the shame you had back then?"

Facing Chang Qingzhou's questioning, Shen Shixi stiffened his neck, "I was so stupid back then that I fell to the point of being a servant and shopkeeper for others, but if you really wanted to help me back then, please call Xuezheng for me. Greetings, I have already raised people in high school, embarked on an official career, and have a great future! I am not going to be your slave at your command!"

Faced with Shen Shixi's outburst of anger, Chang Qingzhou stared wide-eyed, pointed at this shameless person, and was speechless.

"Dare you say that you were old and lacking in energy, so you kindly treated me and let me take care of your business for you? I have worked hard for so many years, but I just received a little kickback. Look at the two places in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Shopkeeper Lu, what kind of life do they live? Calling slaves and servants, wearing gold and silver, just pretending in front of you."

When Shen Shixi talked about the two shopkeepers in the north and south of the Yangtze River, he was even more resentful. He was tied up and walked a few steps forward on his knees, approaching Changqingzhou, "Your daughter is not a woman, she eloped with someone, and she hasn't seen each other for many years. The granddaughter who popped out of nowhere, is ridiculously young, and wants to take over me? Not to mention your first-year woman, even a man, is also a bastard of unknown origin. You know this regular family business. I have worked hard to support it all these years. Just wait for the two old Guixi, and they will all belong to me!"

With Shen Shixi's upright appearance, people who don't know may really think that Su Zijin suddenly appeared and snatched what belonged to him.
