The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 57: The same goes for collecting debts in advance

"Where is that little girl's cousin you just mentioned?" Li Hu glared angrily and asked viciously.

The second-rate subordinate pointed forward, "Enter Jirentang."

Li Hu snorted heavily, "Keep an eye on him, wait for him to come out, follow him, and mess with him."

The second-rate man was a little scared, "Brother Tiger, after all, that man has hunted tigers before, I'm afraid he won't be that easy to hunt!"

Can they be as powerful as tigers?

Li Hu slapped his subordinate, "There are five of us, and he is the only one. What the hell are you afraid of!"

"Ouch!" The second-rate man touched the beaten head and said cautiously: "Brother Hu, there are two of them."

Li Hu glared, "Didn't you say it was just Lu Zhian?"

The second-rate man bravely retorted, "I didn't say it was just Lu Zhian."

The second-rate son's voice gradually became smaller in Li Hu's eyes that widened.

"Why don't you go to Luxiang to find Brother Zhang and borrow a few people from him?" Li Hu roared with a stern face.

Now that we have met today, we have to collect some interest no matter what, so that little girl Tang Mian can understand the situation clearly.

"Oh oh oh, okay, I'll go right away." The second-rate man said and ran away.

After the second-rate man ran away, Li Hu glared at the other men and said, "I'll keep an eye on them all."

"Yes, yes, brother Hu, don't worry." Several subordinates nodded repeatedly and stared at the door of Jirentang without blinking.

At this time, Lu Zhi'an was bargaining with the shopkeeper at Jirentang.

Doctor Wu only said the lowest price of each medicinal material, and Lu Zhian added an extra 50 taels on this basis.

Lu Zhihai was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Lu Zhi'an pulled him in time.

The shopkeeper of Jirentang didn't think Lu Zhian was too big, but for him, the lower the price, the better.

"Shopkeeper, do you think we should add more to the price?" Lu Zhian said with a sad face, "Shopkeeper, we took these two things from the tiger's mouth. Because of them, my cousin is still lying in bed now. !”

"What's more, the Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng I brought are not bad in quality. I also heard that Jirentang is the largest pharmacy in Lu'an County and has the strongest reputation, so I brought them here to sell them."

"Shopkeeper, picking herbs is something that happens once and twice. If our brothers pick good medicinal materials again next time, they will be sent to you."

Lu Zhihai looked at Lu Zhi'an with admiration, cousin, it's okay!
The shopkeeper of Jirentang smiled and shook his head, "I didn't expect this brother to be a good talker!"

Lu Zhian smiled, looking very honest, "Shopkeeper, I don't understand all the twists and turns. I just say what comes to mind."

He often sells some prey and can speak a few words.

If it were Zhiqiang who was often out escorting, he should be able to speak better than him.

The shopkeeper of Jirentang looked at the ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum again and said, "Let's do this. For each medicinal plant, add ten taels to the price I just mentioned. If you think it is suitable, I will accept it. If you think it is not suitable, I will accept it." , then go and ask elsewhere."

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai looked at each other and nodded, "We agree."

"Okay, I'll get you money."

"Shopkeeper." Lu Zhi'an stopped him and said, "If it's convenient, can you give me a check?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "Okay."

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhi'an clenched their fists excitedly, it's done!
There are hundreds of taels!
Soon, the shopkeeper came out of the inner hall and handed the banknote to Lu Zhian, "A 70-year-old ginseng, 220 taels. A 60-year-old ginseng, 190 taels. A large Polygonum multiflorum plant, 170 taels. A small one. Polygonum multiflorum, 100 taels. The total is 680 taels, you can count the number correctly."

"Okay, okay." Lu Zhian's cheeks turned red with excitement and he took the banknote with slightly trembling hands.

After a while, Lu Zhi'an pretended to be calm and nodded, "Shopkeeper, the bank note and the amount are correct. Thank you, shopkeeper. If I find something good in the future, I will send it to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, you two, go slowly." The shopkeeper said with a smile and stroking his beard.

Lu Zhian put the banknotes in his pocket and walked out of Jirentang with a smile.

Lu Zhihai followed him step by step.

"Brother Hu, come on, come on, Lu Zhi'an and his two men are coming out." Li Hu's men shouted.

"Pah!" Li Hu slapped him, "I'm not blind!"

"Go, follow."

"Eh!" The subordinate said with a grimace as he touched the painful head.

Ever since Brother Tiger was injured there a few days ago, his temper has become very bad, and he will do anything he wants.

The group of people following him have all tightened their tails recently, and they dare not say anything about hugging their mother-in-law.

"Brother Hu, I have left a mark for Wu San."

Li Hu stared closely at the two Lu brothers in front and did not respond to his subordinates' words.

The subordinate didn't care and followed Li Hu happily.

However, they couldn't attack the busy streets where both Lu Zhian brothers were walking!
Lu'an County is very strict, and if you fight in the street, you will be arrested.

"Brother Tiger, what should we do?"

"Damn it." Li Hu yelled angrily.

At this time, Wu San rushed over with his people.

"Brother Hu, I'm back. Brother Zhang lent us five brothers."

Li Hu looked at them and became even more irritable.

Everyone was alive, but they couldn't save Lu Zhi'an.

"Brother Hu, who do you want to kill? Brother Zhang told us before coming here that we should all obey you." Brother Zhang's men said.

Li Hu didn't speak, and his men answered for him: "They are the two brothers in the brown shorts in front."

Brother Zhang's men looked in the direction pointed, "Hey, it's them."

"What, do you know him?" Li Hu's men asked doubtfully.

Should not be!

Brother Zhang's men shook their heads, "I don't know them. I only saw them going to Baiweilou to sell a tiger, and there was a woman following them."

Li Hu looked towards him suddenly, "What did you say? Woman, what woman, what does she look like, do you know what that woman's name is?"

Li Hu felt that the woman with Lu Zhi'an was probably Tang Mian.

According to information from his subordinates, Tang Mianna, the woman, went into the mountains with Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhiqiang to collect herbs two days ago.

Most of the people I went to Jirentang just now were selling medicinal materials.

Got them today.

Not only can you vent your anger, but you might also be able to make a fortune.

Brother Zhang's men were startled by Li Hu's eager look, "I don't know that woman's name. I only heard the two men calling her younger brother and sister."

After hearing this, Li Hu was already convinced that it was definitely that little girl Tang Mian.

However, Tang Mian was not seen at this time and he didn't know where the woman was.

Li Hu thought for a moment and raised his hand to ask everyone to stop following him.

"Brother Tiger, why don't you leave?"

Li Hu smiled sadly, "There is no need to follow them. Go back to town immediately and gather the brothers to block them on the only road to Qingyuan Village."

The subordinate's eyes lit up, "Wonderful!"

Lu Zhian and the others always have to go home, and as long as they stay on the only way back to Qingyuan Village, they can always do so.

It was not a busy city at that time and there were not many people coming and going, so it was a good time for them to take action.

"Let's go back." Li Hu looked at the backs of Lu Zhi'an and smiled cruelly.

Originally, I didn't want to settle the debt with Tang Mian so early, but now that I bumped into him, it was the same as collecting the debt in advance.

At this time, Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai were rushing to the county government office anxiously.

"Cousin, should we buy some gifts before visiting?" Lu Zhihai asked sadly.

Going to eat with empty hands always feels wrong.

Lu Zhian also scratched his head in distress, "We don't know what to buy either!"

Think about it, forget it.

"My sister-in-law didn't give me a ginseng plant, so let's leave it at that! If I need to buy something, my sister-in-law will tell me when I came out before."

Lu Zhihai nodded, "Okay!" When they entered the county government office again, Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai still looked cautious.

The servant offered to take them for a walk, but they refused.

How dare they wander around!
He sat at the stone table in the outer courtyard and drank tea.

Thinking that they might have dinner with Mr. Qingtian of Lu'an County later, the two of them were so nervous that they had nowhere to put their hands and feet.

"First cousin, third cousin."

Lu Zhi'an's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother and sister, you are finally out."

Tang Mian was talking to the county magistrate's wife in the inner courtyard, and it was difficult for the two grown men to enter.

They didn't know the other people, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

"Brother and sister, what's going on?" Lu Zhian asked.

Tang Mian pondered for a moment and said: "I rescued the county magistrate's wife at Yuqing Temple before, and the county magistrate's wife recognized me as my god sister."

"What?" Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai's eyes widened instantly.

"Then why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Tang Mian shook his head, "At the beginning, I wasn't sure whether what the county magistrate's wife said was true or false. I took this opportunity to make sure today."

"That's it!" Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai looked at each other and said.

"Judging from the attitude of the county magistrate's wife today, she still recognizes you as my sister."

The enthusiasm was like a sister coming to visit.

Tang Mian was now convinced, and the big stone in his heart was settled.

"Sister Zhuang is pregnant with the baby and is resting right now, so I was able to come out."

"First cousin, third cousin, have you processed all the medicinal materials?"

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai both showed bright smiles, "Don't worry, everything has been taken care of, a total of 680 taels."

Tang Mian's eyes lit up, "So many!"

Lu Zhihai chuckled, "Brothers and sisters, you haven't seen that my cousin is really good at talking. I added 50 taels for each plant to the price mentioned by Doctor Wu, and then bargained with the shopkeeper of Jirentang."

"Cousin, that's awesome!" Tang Mian raised his hands and clapped.

Lu Zhian was a little embarrassed, "I also wanted to earn a little more."

Both of his boys have to go to the academy, and even if they have one more tael of silver, it will be a lot easier.

Tang Mian smiled, "That's natural."

"I didn't expect that going deep into the mountains would yield so much." Lu Zhihai rubbed his hands together excitedly.

There are almost 1000 taels of silver in total, and each family has more than 300 taels.

If you don’t spend a lot of money on this flower, it will be enough for your family to last a lifetime!

Lu Zhi'an and Tang Mian both agreed with Lu Zhihai's words.

"When Zhiqiang recovers, ask him what he wants. If he is still willing to go, we will go into the mountains again." Lu Zhian said.

Lu Zhihai was stunned, "Brother, please go! It's too dangerous. My brother will have to lie in bed for many days when he comes back!"

Lu Zhi'an glanced at him, "What do you know? Wealth can be found in danger!"

"But."

"Okay, shut up! Go back and ask your brother yourself." Lu Zhi'an interrupted Lu Zhihai with a stinky face.

He doesn't have that much patience and expression towards his rough brother.

Zhuang Jing was resting, and Tang Mian kept talking to Lu Zhi'an in the outer courtyard.

At about two quarters past noon, Grandma Liu came to them.

"Mrs. Lu, my wife is awake. Do you want to come over?"

Tang Mian nodded, "Yes."

Aunt Liu smiled and said to Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai: "Brothers, please move to the main hall and the food will be served immediately."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Liu." Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai smiled and nodded.

Aunt Liu felt blessed, turned around and called a boy, and ordered him to take the two brothers Lu Zhian to the main hall.

Tang Mian went to the inner courtyard with Nanny Liu, and followed Zhuang Jing to the main hall.

There were two tables in the main hall, separated by a screen.

Tang Mian and Zhuang Jing sat at the table inside, while Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhiqiang sat at the table outside.

Just when Lu Zhian and the two felt uncomfortable, the county magistrate arrived.

"I'm sorry to keep my sister and two brothers waiting for so long."

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai were shocked, and immediately stood up, rubbing their hands on their sides again and again, "Don't dare to take it, don't take it."

Tang Mian also wanted to get up and go to meet her, but was stopped by Zhuang Jing, "Sister, you're welcome, let's eat first, and then we'll see you later."

"Sister Zhuang, isn't this going to be good?"

Who would have thought that before Tang Mian finished speaking, Zhuang Jing waved her hand and picked up some vegetables for Tang Mian, "Sister, try this, it tastes good."

"Thank you, Sister Zhuang." Since Zhuang Jing held her back again and again, it was hard for her to refute.

The two of them had a harmonious atmosphere and ate their food slowly. However, at another table separated by a screen, the atmosphere was tense.

"I, Yu Mingzhi, may I ask how you call the two Lu brothers?" Yu Mingzhi asked with a gentle face consciously.

Lu Zhian twitched the corner of his mouth slightly stiffly and said subconsciously: "Go back to the county magistrate."

Yu Mingzhi raised his hand to interrupt Lu Zhian, pretending to be displeased, "Brother Lu, I have already called you brother, why do you still call me the county magistrate?"

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai were stunned for a moment. They moved their mouths, but they still couldn't pronounce the word "brother."

Yu Mingzhi laughed when he saw this, "Brothers Lu, don't be so nervous. My sister saved my wife and my unborn child. She is my great benefactor and my biological sister."

"Her brothers and sisters are naturally my relatives."

Speaking of this matter, Yu Mingzhi still has lingering fears.

If it weren't for Tang Mian, his first child would have been killed before he was born.

14 years ago, Zhuang Jing did not hesitate to fall out with her family, abandon her status as the eldest lady, and marry him, a poor and wealthy legend.

I went through a lot of hardships with him, and now I almost got pregnant with my first child.

This child is the life of their couple.

Lu Zhian and Lu Zhihai became even more nervous when they heard this.

"Sir, please don't say that. Common people really can't afford it."

It was the younger siblings who saved the county magistrate's wife, not them.

Seeing that the two of them really couldn't let go, Yu Mingzhi no longer forced it, but picked up the wine glass and started drinking with the two of them.

The three men talk a lot when they drink.

Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhihai gradually became less reserved. By the end of the drink, their faces were red, and they listened to everything Yu Mingzhi asked and answered.

Tang Mian lowered his head and drank the soup silently.

Listening to the somewhat knotted sound, she knew that the two cousins ​​were almost drunk.

My brother-in-law spoke clearly and in an organized manner, and he clearly didn't look like someone who drank too much.

After finishing the meal, Lu Zhian and Yu Mingzhi were so drunk that they called themselves brothers.

If it weren't for Yu Mingzhi still having something to deal with, neither of them would have wanted to let go.

"Sister, please send a carriage to take you back!" After taking a break after the meal, Tang Mian said goodbye because he was afraid that his family would be worried.

It's just that the two cousins ​​haven't completely sobered up yet, which gives Tang Mian a headache.

Therefore, when Zhuang Jing proposed to send it by carriage, she had no objection.
