Smuggling Daming

Chapter 48 Situation Reversal

Hearing Zhou Zhong asked about the price for Su Niang's redemption, Qiu's mother immediately showed a philistine smile, sucked her teeth and thought about it, and finally raised her head and said: "Since Mr. Zhou wants to redeem Su Niang, I will not be polite. According to the rules of our other courtyard, the price for a girl’s redemption is ten times the annual maintenance fee, and Su Niang’s annual maintenance fee is 40 taels. "

"400 taels." Zhou Zhong was relieved. Fortunately, he had borrowed another 300 taels from Xie Lingyun to be on the safe side. Otherwise, he might not be able to take him away with only the 300 taels from the book seller.

But before Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu could breathe a sigh of relief, Mother Qiu showed a treacherous smile, took out a contract of sale from her arms, and said, "But Su Niang's yard has lived for so long, some places should have It has been repaired, and during her pregnancy, our other hospital also provided her with delicious food and drink. When these miscellaneous things are added together, at least 100 taels of silver will be added, so the total is 500 taels. After paying all the money, Su Niang's bonded slave family will immediately offer it with both hands!"

"Another 100 taels!" Zhou Zhong's eyes were fixed, and he looked at Qiu's mother coldly, but the other party was completely indifferent.

"Nonsense, I have been pregnant for such a long time, every time the food delivered is either cold or leftover, the treatment is worse than usual, where is there any preferential treatment?" At this time, Su Niang beside Butler Xu couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't help but retort.

After hearing this, Qiu's mother glanced at her lightly, and then showed a disgusting smirk: "Su Niang, you have no conscience if you say that, you should call me mother anyway, how could I treat my daughter badly?" No, anyway, I have already sent people to your room for those delicious and delicious food, and you ate and drank, but now you refuse to accept it, this makes Wei Niang really sad!"

Qiu's mother has also been rolling in the field of time since she was a child. She has a face that has long been invulnerable. At this time, she even accused Su Niang of not admitting it. This kind of skill of turning black and white is not something ordinary people can master. Her employer handed over the entire courtyard to her to take care of.

Regarding Qiu's shamelessness, Su Niang blushed with anger, but couldn't find any words to refute. Butler Xu knew that there was no point in arguing with the other party at this time, so he patted Su Niang on the back lightly to let her calm down.

"Mother Qiu, are you sure it's 500 taels and won't be changed again?" Zhou Zhong was very calm. He was too lazy to quarrel with someone like Mother Qiu, because that would only lower his status.

"500 taels, I mean what I say!" Qiu's mother blinked her wrinkled triangular eyes and gave Zhou Zhong a wink, which made him so disgusting that he almost vomited out the last night's meal.

Nausea is disgusting, but Zhou Zhong didn't forget the business. He took out the 600 taels he just got from his arms, took out one and put it back in his arms, then handed the rest to Qiu's mother and said, "Here is the 500 taels." Two banknotes, bring Su Niang's deed of sale, and the banknotes are yours!"

Qiu's mother was also surprised when she saw Zhou Zhong really put out 500 taels all of a sudden. In Su Niang's situation, she offered 400 taels, which was already high enough, and then added 100 taels to see Zhou Zhong. It was a joke with Butler Xu, but Zhou Zhong didn't even think about it, and suddenly took out 500 taels of silver to redeem Su Niang's body, which was really beyond her expectations.

Seeing Qiu's mother standing there in a daze and not responding to his own words, Zhou Zhong frowned and said again: "Why, Qiu's mother, do you want to go back on your word?"

It was only now that Qiu's mother came to her senses, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I don't dare to go back on my word, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so generous that he would take out 500 taels all at once."

When she said this, Qiu's mother turned her head and looked at the second son of Song in the distance. Unfortunately, the other party didn't know what happened here, so naturally she didn't respond. Said: "Young master, please keep it safe, this is Su Niang's contract of selling herself!"

After Zhou Zhong took over the contract of selling himself and verified that it was correct, he handed over the bank note in his hand to Qiu's mother.And when Zhou Zhong took over the contract of sale, Su Niang and Butler Xu behind him wept with joy, their hands were tightly held together, and they didn't even bother to wipe their tears.

At this time, the Second Young Master Song finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately ran over to look at the deed of sale in Zhou Zhong's hand, and at the bank note in Qiu's mother's hand, and then shouted at Qiu's mother in a rage: " What's going on, why did you give him the deed of sale?"

Mother Qiu didn't dare to offend Young Master Song, so she immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, please calm down. Mr. Zhou spent 500 taels of silver to buy back Su Niang's contract of sale. Our other courtyard is a serious businessman, so naturally we can't count our words. Forget Mr. Song to be considerate!"

"500 taels?" The second son of the Song Dynasty was also surprised when he heard it. Although the Song family was rich, the last time they donated 2000 taels made the whole family feel distressed for a long time. Now Zhou Zhong took out 500 taels to buy an old man. For a prostitute with bad looks, this money is enough to buy a red girl with both sex and art in the flower boat on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

Seeing the distraught look of Song Ergong, Zhou Zhong stepped forward with a smile, and then said slowly: "Song Ergong don't need to be angry, originally Zhou didn't have the money to redeem Su Niang, but just happened to be in a A few hours ago, I went to Lingyun's place, and she gave me 600 taels all at once, but I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it!"

When Zhou Zhong said this, in line with the principle of not paying for death, he reached out his hand and took out the only remaining bank note from his bosom, and then sniffed it lightly, with an extremely intoxicated expression on his face, as if there was still money on it. Xie Lingyun's body fragrance remained.

"You are talking nonsense, how could Lingyun give you money for no reason?" Hearing Zhou Zhong suddenly mentioned his sweetheart Xie Lingyun, and she also gave him money, coupled with Zhou Zhong's frivolous actions, all of a sudden let Song The Second Young Master lost his mind, pointed at Zhou Zhong and roared furiously.

"I would like to thank Brother Song Xian. If it wasn't for you last time, Lingyun and I would not have met in the teahouse. Later, Lingyun even visited me. At that time, the son of Xu Zhifu and brother Minglun were there. If you don't believe me, you can go Ask, later Lingyun felt that I was a pretty good person, and their Xie family was so rich, so they sent some money to me, a poor man, didn’t your Song family donate 2000 taels to the victims of the disaster a while ago?” Zhou Zhong once again stoked the flames He said gruffly, with an innocent expression on his face.

The Second Young Master Song was furious after hearing this. Although he tried his best to get close to Xie Lingyun, the other party seemed to be avoiding him. During this time, he couldn't find anyone, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhong to be favored by Xie Lingyun. He couldn't bear the tone no matter what.

"You...you...I...I..." Second Young Master Song pointed at Zhou Zhong tremblingly, wanting to scold him but couldn't. Just at this moment, a bad breath surged up in his chest, but he didn't catch his breath. He even rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Ah~" Seeing his benefactor fainted, the coquettish woman next to Second Young Master Song screamed and hurriedly supported him. Mother Qiu was also worried about what happened to Second Young Master Song in another courtyard, so she hurriedly asked the thugs behind him to help , The scene was chaotic for a while.

Su Niang's deed of selling herself has already been obtained, Zhou Zhong and Butler Xu's goal has been achieved, so they don't need to wait in the other courtyard for a long time, and the three of them are preparing to leave here together.

But at this moment, the mother-in-law Qiu blocked their way with a flattering face, and said to Zhou Zhong with a smile on her face like a chrysanthemum: "Mr. Zhou, the Lingyun you mentioned just now, but Miss Lingyun from Xie Mansion in Huating?"

"That's right, what does Qiu's mother ask this for?" Zhou Zhong said very coldly. The procuresses in these brothels are all characters who recognize money but not people.

"Oh~, look at me, I'm so old and confused, I can't see Taishan with my eyes, I offended you just now, I forgot Mr. Zhou, don't blame me!" Qiu's mother immediately made a 360-degree face change after hearing the definite answer. , an old face smiling like a pleated bun.

But Zhou Zhong didn't understand what Qiu's mother meant, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to keep a cold face, planning to see what the other party was going to do?

Qiu's mother is worthy of being a person whose skin is better than the city wall. She turned a blind eye to Zhou Zhong's indifference. Yes, besides, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and I have a game with Su Niang, mother and daughter, and I have nothing to give her. Today, the old lady decided to reduce the cost of Su Niang's redemption to 300 taels, so the two silver coins Please keep the ticket, Young Master Zhou!"

As Mother Qiu said, she reluctantly took out two bank notes from her hand, and handed them to Zhou Zhong with a flattering expression.

For a while, Zhou Zhong couldn't figure out the specific reason why Qiu's mother's attitude changed so much. He only knew that it must have something to do with Xie Lingyun. Could it be that this brothel is the property of Xie's family?But as far as Zhou Zhong knew, the Xie family had always had a good family tradition. Last time when the disaster victims donated money, their Xie family was the first batch of people who donated the most.In business, apart from participating in smuggling, I have never touched pornography and gambling industries, so this does not make sense.

However, although Zhou Zhong couldn't figure out the reason for it for the time being, since people sent the money back, how could he not accept it?So he also smiled, stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket and said: "So that's the case, I didn't expect that Qiu's mother and Su Niang have such a deep relationship, this son will accept it on behalf of Su Niang and Uncle Xu!"

Seeing that Zhou Zhong was willing to take back the money, Qiu's mother's expression relaxed, as if she had put down a boulder, and she felt much more relaxed.Then she complimented Zhou Zhong a few times, and then personally sent Zhou Zhong out of the other hospital.
