The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 48

Mu Jinxi turned a deaf ear to it, and led Xiaobao to continue walking, but her pace accelerated a lot.

"Xiaoxi, um, is Shopkeeper Zhang calling you?" Mu Jinhua looked back and asked in a low voice.

Mu Jinxi said with a blank face: "Why? You misunderstood, we should hurry home—no, we should go home, you should go back to school, don't miss your homework."

Mu Jinhua touched her nose and replied embarrassedly, but she still couldn't help turning her head, only to see shopkeeper Zhang nodding and smiling at him.He was startled, shopkeeper Zhang really wasn't calling Xiaoxi just now?
Mu Jinhua felt that it was wrong for her sister to do this. It was polite for others to greet her, so how could she ignore them?This is uneducated behavior and must be corrected!
"Xiaoxi, I think shopkeeper Zhang is calling you, you can't ignore people, it's impolite!" Mu Jinhua said seriously.

"Did you hear him call my name?" Mu Jinxi asked.

name?Mu Jinhua frowned and shook her head, "That's not true."

"Then it's not calling me."

Mu Jinhua was puzzled, but shopkeeper Zhang...

"Sister Jinhua, wait a minute! I'm old, but I don't walk as fast as you young people!" Shopkeeper Zhang's loud voice came from behind, and Mu Jinxi had to stop in her tracks.

When shopkeeper Zhang shouted, everyone heard it, and everyone stopped as if they had smelled some gossip, and Qiqi set their eyes on Mu Jinxi.

Mu Jinxi's complexion turned foul, and she had to turn around, and said to the approaching shopkeeper Zhang with a smirk, "What's the matter with calling me? Don't worry, I will let my father do things for the shopkeeper properly." of."

Shopkeeper Zhang turned a blind eye to Mu Jinxi's cold expression, and said very familiarly: "My niece was joking, and today's matter is thanks to you, otherwise I would not know how to eat the fish in the Xiushui River , you helped me a lot!"

After the shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, before Mu Jinxi could answer, he heard him say: "By the way, I owe you more than 200 taels of silver yesterday, and I brought it together today, so give it to you!"

More than 200 taels of silver!

The surrounding suddenly exploded, and everyone pulled out their ears one after another, wondering if they heard it wrong, but it was actually only two hundred coins, not 200 taels of silver, right?But soon they were sure they had heard correctly.

"It's 250 taels of silver, right? I remember correctly, right?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked as if it wasn't enough.

Mu Jinxi gritted her teeth and said, "The shopkeeper remembers it very clearly, it's this number!"

Shopkeeper Zhang only noticed something was wrong with Mu Jinxi at this time, and asked reflexively, "What's wrong with my niece? Are you blaming me for moving too slowly?"

No, it's only a day away.

Mu Jinxi deeply felt that if shopkeeper Zhang was allowed to continue talking here, the consequences would be disastrous.

So Mu Jinxi said decisively: "Since shopkeeper Zhang is here today, why don't you come to my house and sit down. Although it is a bit rudimentary, you can still greet people. I just hope that shopkeeper Zhang will not be disgusted."

Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile: "Where is it, so I will disturb you."

Mu Jinxi hurriedly led the people home, and Mu Jinhua, who was going back to school, thought about it and followed behind.

After Mu Jinxi and shopkeeper Zhang walked away, everyone came back to their senses, and the discussion started more intensely than before, because no one wanted to believe, couldn't believe, that Mu Ankang's family had 250 taels of silver!This is an astronomical figure!How could their family have so much money?

What did shopkeeper Zhang say just now?Does this have something to do with Mu Jinxi?How did Mu Jinxi know those things?is that a lie?

But the most important thing is why their family can get so much money, it's not fair!

Papa Mu, who came home first, saw his daughter leading shopkeeper Zhang to the house before the stool under his butt was warmed up. He was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the stool.

Mu Jinxi was powerless to say anything about her father's unpromising behavior, she just said: "Father, I'll bring shopkeeper Zhang to sit at home, you can treat me as you like."

For Mrs. Mu, shopkeeper Zhang is considered a big guest, so how can he treat him casually?

"Well, Xiaoxi, there's nothing to entertain at home, shall I borrow some tea from the village chief's house?" Old Man Mu said.

"Father, there's no need, you can just boil some water, right, Shopkeeper Zhang?" Mu Jinxi asked.

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed and said, "That's right, brother Mu, you don't have to work too hard, I'll just have a glass of water."

"What's so funny about that?"

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand: "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Father Mu doesn't need to be too intrusive. I like Xiaoxi very much. Since I call you brother, then Xiaoxi is my niece. If that's the case, it's too polite." See you soon."

Shopkeeper Zhang said so, no matter how stupid Father Mu was, he knew that if he continued to entangle himself, he would really lose face, so he happily went to boil the water, and Lady Mu went with him.

"Brother, take Xiaobao in for a nap!" Since he won't go to school, he can take care of his nephew!

Uh... Mu Jinhua met her younger sister's eyes, touched her head, and obediently led Xiao Bao, who was looking curiously at shopkeeper Zhang, to the room, and Xiao Bai followed neatly.

At this moment, shopkeeper Zhang and Mu Jinxi were left in the room, so shopkeeper Zhang asked, "What's wrong with my niece? Why doesn't she look very happy?"

"Should I be happy?" Mu Jinxi glanced at shopkeeper Zhang and asked back.

Shopkeeper Zhang patted the back of his head in bewilderment and said in bewilderment: "Where did you say that? Shouldn't you be happy? Everything is done, and you can get the rest of the money. Isn't that a good thing?" ?”

Mu Jinxi sighed silently when she saw shopkeeper Zhang's simple and honest appearance, forget it, she was the one who vented her anger.Shopkeeper Zhang probably had good intentions too, but he did something bad with good intentions. He didn't know the situation of their family in Xiushui Village, so he didn't understand that his kindness might bring a lot of trouble to their family.

Thinking of the problems she will encounter next, Mu Jinxi has a headache.She can easily deal with a big business worth over [-] million yuan, but she is very impatient to deal with some trivial and trivial matters, especially some trivial matters of the parents.

But today is different from the past after all, it is still inappropriate for her to be too public.
