Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 112 It’s terrible
Zhu Zhiyin said excitedly:

"I won't go over to play with the sisters tonight. I'll go find Old Man Zhu to handle the formalities for you later."

"Why don't you just join my class? That way it will be convenient for you to skip classes. You are making great progress in your studies, so you won't be overwhelmed by other professors' classes."

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her in surprise and asked:

"Professor Zhu! Are you planning to have a teacher-student relationship?!"

After giving him a fist, Zhu Zhiyin smiled shyly and said:

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I've already passed through the Zhang family. At most, I'm just an old cow eating old grass!"

"It's alright, just get out of here! When you get interested, I can't handle your madness by myself."

"Report early tomorrow. If you come late, I'll whip you in public with my teaching stick!"

"Hehehehe!"

………………

Zhang Kaiwu touched his nose, looked at the excited Zhu Zhiyin, and gave her a kiss.

Get up and run.

Professor Zhu, whose teacher's soul is burning, is not to be messed with!

terrible!

I saw Zhang Kaiwu leaving.

Zhu Zhiyin looked at Lou Xiao'e, who had woken up a long time ago and was still pretending to sleep.

After a while, Zhu Zhiyin, who was unable to bear the anger, kicked Lou Xiao'e again.

When she was kicked for the first time, Zhu Zhiyin knew she was awake. She rolled her eyes for a while and then pretended to sleep again.

Lou Xiao'e covered her butt and climbed up, saying shyly:
"Sister Zhiyin! I'm just helping you. You have such a bad temper. Be careful or Brother Kaiwu won't want you anymore!"

Zhu Zhiyin said with a smile:
"Kaiwu doesn't want me anymore? Marry you? You're just dreaming!"

"I've told you countless times, what are you going to do in the future if you're like this?"

Lou Xiao'e said unconvincedly:
"What should I do? I'll be his secret lover just like in the movies."

"In the end, all of you old women will be abandoned by him, and I will be the only one left!"

Zhu Zhiyin was so angry that she laughed.

asked:

"Go down and walk a few steps. Let me see if you can still go back!? Otherwise, if you are discovered when you go back, your mother will beat you to death!"

Lou Xiao'e climbed down slowly and took a few steps.

Feeling fine, proudly said:

"Brother Kaiwu is so kind to me. He is gentle and considerate to me. He never tortured me."

"How could it be like that to you, making it so difficult for me to even walk steadily!"

You know shit!
Zhu Zhiyin was too lazy to pay attention to her and said:

"I'm going out to do something. You can go back in a while."

After Zhu Zhiyin went out, Lou Xiao'e lay there thinking about something.

I rested enough and went back very late.

...............

Zhang Kaiwu was riding his bicycle, thinking over and over again, but he couldn't figure out what to do, and in the end he still made trouble.

What nonsense!
It's a bit against my will.

It's still very early, only around three o'clock.

He rode his bicycle to Nanluoguxiang and bought a small courtyard with two entrances near his home, preparing for the old scholar and his family to live in.

Just like the reason he explained to the young lady, even if he just kept the house in the future, it would be very cost-effective for him.

Zhang Kaiwu couldn't buy in large quantities either. Houses that were not occupied or rented out would not have a good result.

It is also easy to target him and accuse him of a crime.

No. 130, Nanluogu Lane.

The house is neither new nor old, and the things inside are neither new nor old.

Zhang Kaiwu spent a small yellow croaker and ten dollars, and the owner of the house was willing to make the deal.

The situation is not good!

House prices are still falling.

Ha ha ha ha...

In fact, the majority of houses left are large ones that cannot be sold at all, and are eventually abandoned and run away.

There are really not many people like Lou Bancheng.

Just like the title deed of Wu Deren that Zhang Kaiwu was holding, as well as the title deeds of the big courtyard and the shop.

He had thrown it into the stove and burned it a long time ago.

He had never thought about using the title deed to take back the house.

Besides, even if you succeed, there will be troubles in the future!
………………

While discussing the contract, Zhang Kaiwu saw the legendary deaf old lady, who should be Madam Long now! ?

She is now only in her forties or fifties, has bound feet, and is dressed like a noble lady.

He came down in a sedan chair and stood in front of a large courtyard diagonally opposite.

A man in his thirties was talking to her. Zhang Kaiwu's eyes shrank. This was the leader who gave her the phonograph, Sha Zhu's biggest backer! ?

After the man left, a woman in her thirties helped the deaf old lady into the yard.

Aunt Yi! ?

Look at Aunt Yi’s attire, is she now the maid of the deaf old lady?

Not for a while yet.

A sloppy guy came over with a cigarette in his mouth and entered the yard next to the deaf old lady. He Daqing! ?
Good guy!
The people in the courtyard.

I gathered several of them in no time!

If we were to say who he was most curious about, it would be He Daqing.

The seller's surname was Chen. He was busy writing a contract. Zhang Kaiwu handed him a cigarette and asked curiously:

"Brother Chen! Who was that person who just entered the yard? He walked so arrogantly!"

The homeowner took the cigarette, lit it, and said with a smile:

"The cook who cooked for the city commanders also often cooked for the big yard next door. He also cooked for those short Japanese soldiers in the past."

"What's so awesome about him? He's just a slick cook. He even rents a house in a compound. The people in that compound are the really awesome ones."

He glanced at the deaf old lady's yard.

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"So he's just a cook. Looking at the way he walks, I feel like he's at least a captain."

"Of course that yard is amazing. It's so big that it would take ten servants to run around."

The landlord finished writing the deed and said with a smile:

"The key is that Madam Long is very good at getting along with everyone! She has many connections."

"The flags outside changed again and again, but she just wouldn't fall!"

"The cook is an old muleteer, and his wife died a long time ago. Just imagine how great he would be. Nowadays, any man can get married."

The landlord handed over the contract with a smile and asked:

"Brother, I have another house. Are you interested? I'll sell it to you at a lower price."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:
"I am just a country girl. Taking advantage of the chaos and turmoil, buying this house is a gamble of my life. I really have no money left!"

"If I really had that much money, why would I bet my life? Bro! I can run faster than you."

Hahahaha!

The seller smiled and said:

"Brother, you are joking! Actually, the elderly people in Shanghai have grown old and want us to go back and take care of their lives for a while."

Zhang Kaiwu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Brother! I understand! I understand! All the people selling houses in Nanluoguxiang say the same thing as you do."

I put away the contract and said goodbye to the original owner.

………………

Zhang Kaiwu was too lazy to pay attention to these old hands in the courtyard house. His target was the heroine.

While riding his bicycle, he would buy some meat from time to time and throw it into the storage space.

Have no idea!

Nutrition should be balanced. If a man has a large family and many concubines, he will have many children in the future.

If you have time and space, buy some when you encounter it, just be prepared.

After returning to Qianmen Street, Zhang Kaiwu ran to Dabei Photo Studio to take a one-inch identity photo.

As a college student, you need to create a file.

Zhang Kaiwu was sitting there, the owner of Dabei Photo Studio warmly entertaining the upstart from Zhima Hutong.

An old camera as big as a table, the apprentices installed magnesium powder on both corners.

The shopkeeper of Dabei Photo Studio kept shouting:

"Manager Zhang, look here! Look here and don't blink!"

As he squeezed the rubber ball in his hand, magnesium powder exploded with a "bang", and a photo of a watermelon head was taken.

Just come and pick it up in a few days and it's done.

I just finished smoking with the owner of Dabei Photo Studio and ran out.

He was dragged by Shopkeeper Niu and forced to drink a pot of tea.

Shopkeeper Niu held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile:

"Brother! What are you busy with every day? We can't go to the club anymore. Why don't we go to the brothel and have some fun and listen to a play some other day?"

Zhang Kaiwu took a sip of tea, sighed and said:

"I really don't have time. My fourth wife thinks that I am not doing well in this way and insists that I go to university."

Shopkeeper Niu was too embarrassed to be polite and said in surprise:
"Ah! You're going to college?"

Zhang Kaiwu sighed and said:

"Yes! She has completed all the paperwork for me. Didn't you see that I was just taking photos and preparing? I have to go to school tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Niu said in surprise: "Brother! You are really..."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"That's nonsense! It's good to go and have some fun. There are still many pretty female college students there."

"When I take a concubine someday, I'll find a college student!"

Shopkeeper Niu laughed for a while.

Now run and read!!!

Wouldn’t it be nice to go to a brothel and have fun?
Shopkeeper Niu had mixed feelings, not knowing whether to comfort him and tell him to study hard, or to congratulate Zhang Kaiwu on his bright future.

It seems that marrying a female professor as a concubine brings both blessings and disasters!

...............

Zhang Kaiwu returned to the shop.

I took my wives and concubines home and told them about this on the way. I would be going to college officially tomorrow.

Chen Xueru said in surprise:

"Brother Kaiwu! After graduating from college, will you become an official in the future?"

Mu Chunhua said with a smile:
"Brother Kaiwu! You are so awesome!"

Lin Xiaoniang asked with charming eyes:

"Master! Studying is very hard. Others would bring two servants to grind ink for them when they write."

"When the weather is hot, fan me. When the weather is cold, warm my hands and feet so I can write."

"Master! Can you take me up there to fan me?"

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

He smiled and explained:
"There are fans and even air conditioners in the classroom, so you don't need to fan yourself!"

Chen Xueru said with a smile:
"Mrs. Lin, get out of here! Do you think you are reading the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Brother Kaiwu! I'll buy you two pens tomorrow morning, and you have to wear leather shoes to look impressive."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and asked:

"Sister Xueru! It's so hot! Are you sure you want me to wear leather shoes!?"

Chen Xueru said with a smile:
"Then buy it and put it there until the weather gets cooler before wearing it. I'll make you a few more sets of clothes tomorrow. College students need to wear white shirts and black pants to look good."

"Remember to pin the two pens on your upper pocket, so that you look like a college student."

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Mu Chunhua said with a smile:

"Brother Kaiwu! Can I go with you to study? I know that many college students bring their wives and concubines with them to study."

"I can go and help with some small things like buying food and groceries, and I can also go there to attend classes."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Little Flower! It's no problem for you to go with me. Come with me tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoniang said quickly:
"Master! How can you take Chunhua, your concubine, with you? You have to bring a slave with you! Just think about it, I will massage your legs and back during class."

"When the get out of class is over, you can get mad and beat this slave up. How impressive!?"

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Chen Xueru was so angry and embarrassed after hearing this that she slapped her hard in the face.

He cursed:

"Mrs. Lin! I'll beat you to death!"

Caught off guard, Lin Xiaoniang jumped up.

The neighbors on the road all looked over, and Zhang Kaiwu quickly persuaded them:

"Sister Xueru, don't be angry! Beat her up when we get back, don't let others laugh at her!"

Lin Xiaoniang asked with charming eyes:

"Master! Are you going to kill me too?"

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Looking at her gives me a headache!
Mu Chunhua watched from the side with a smile on her face, not daring to say anything.

………………

Shopkeeper Zhang is going to college tomorrow.

Within half an hour, all the neighbors in Zhima Hutong knew about it.

The whole Qianmen Street was discussing it.

Some praised him for being awesome, and some praised his fourth concubine for being awesome...

Some people also mourned for Zhang...

For example, Manager Niu is one of them.

Between going to college and going to a brothel, most people would choose the latter.

Some are so envious that their mouths are watering.

Wait until Zhang Kaiwu, Xueru and others get home and go in.

...............

Thinking about the news that someone came to the store today to inform them that Zhang Kai was beating people up at home, it was He Yongqiang who publicized it in the tavern.

Lin Xiaoniang went to the neighbors to give them a warning.

Lin Xiaoniang stood at the door of Xu Huizhen's house, knocked on the door, and asked loudly:
"Huizhen! My master is going to college tomorrow. Do you have any good wine at home? "

"I'll buy some to save. When the officials come to my house, it will be convenient for us to drink."

Xu Huizhen came out, stood at the door and asked in a low voice:

"Don't show off your master here! He can't even buy food, do you want anything from my house!?"

"Girl! Is Shopkeeper Zhang really going to college?!"

Lin Xiaoniang yelled:

"What!? You dare to doubt my master!?
What's so strange about my master being a college student?

Lin Xiaoniang smiled and whispered:
"My master is a university professor. Don't you know?"

"Would you like to come tonight and try out how powerful our master is!?"

Not wanting to pay attention to Lin Xiaoniang's crazy talk, Xu Huizhen turned around and left, ready to go home.

Lin Xiaoniang smiled and said loudly:
"Someone told me today that it was your family that said bad things about my master. Why are you pretending? How dare you say bad things about our family? Do you have any college students in your family?"

Xu Huizhen ran back and whispered:

"Why are you angry with me? That's not what I said!"

Lin Xiaoniang said loudly:
"Xu Huizhen! Tell He Yongqiang that if he does this again, I will have the master break his legs."

She pinched Xu Huizhen and said softly with a smile:

"Huizhen! Are you really not going to try out how powerful my master is!?"

Xu Huizhen pinched back twice silently and slowly went back.

Although Lin Xiaoniang was trying to scare He Yongqiang, she knew that He Yongqiang was a talkative person and would get into trouble sooner or later.

Lin Xiaoniang was shouting for them to hear and to warn He Yongqiang.

...............

Mr. He and He Yongqiang, who were in the room, both heard Miss Lin yelling.

The father and son looked at each other!
He Yongqiang, who was in the room, said to Mr. He fearfully:
"Or I'll go live in the countryside for a few days. If that shopkeeper Zhang gets angry and breaks my legs, there will be no one to take care of you in your old age!"

Mr. He thought about Zhang the shopkeeper beating Lin Xiaoniang and said:

"You can just stay in the countryside tomorrow. There's nothing to do in the tavern anyway. I'll ask Huizhen to take the jar of old wine to his house as an apology to Manager Zhang."

"Why don't you go with him and admit your mistake to him!"

That was too dangerous. I thought of what happened to Manager Yan.

He Yongqiang quickly said:
"That's not a good idea. If Shopkeeper Zhang loses his temper, I'll get beaten for nothing!"

"Let Huizhen go. She is a grown-up girl. Manager Zhang won't hit her."

Mr. He looked at him helplessly. We are all neighbors. If you take the initiative to admit your mistake, it won’t be a big deal! ?
Others won't hit you just to save their face, right? ?

But He Yongqiang has been timid since he was a child, which is also what Mr. He saw.

You become filial only after you become timid!

...............

Xu Huizhen just went back.

Mr. He took her mysteriously to the cellar and got a jar of treasured old wine.

The large jar made of Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain weighs more than ten kilograms.

Mr. He carefully moved it out and told her:
"Huizhen! This jar of wine is a royal treasure that has been kept for decades. Go and give it to Shopkeeper Zhang to apologize for Yongqiang's mistake."

Xu Huizhen said angrily:

"Grandpa! Can't you just let Yongqiang go? Xueru and the others are not bad people. They have been our neighbors for many years."

"He does something like this, doesn't he have the courage to admit his mistake?"

Mr. He looked at her and said helplessly:
"You know Yongqiang's character. He's a dutiful kid who's afraid of trouble."

"Huizhen! You are so close to Xueru and the others, there is no way Manager Zhang would do anything to you!"

Xu Huizhen had no choice but to say aggrievedly:
"I'm not afraid of being beaten!? I just want Yongqiang to admit his mistake. Manager Zhang won't be so cruel!"

But Mr. He thought differently.

What should we do if Shopkeeper Zhang really gets angry?
He even beat up Lin Xiaoniang! ?
And often fight!

Even if Yongqiang's legs were really broken, where could he go to seek justice?!

He Yongqiang didn't take advantage of the gift!

The more Mr. He thought about it, the more scared he became. He begged:
"Huizhen! Please go today. I beg you to do so."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"

Looking at Mr. He's expression, Xu Huizhen said quickly:

"Don't be like this, old man. I'll go! I'll go to Xueru's house right away!"
