Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 144 Negotiations
In the Qingzhai Buddhist Hall, incense candles flickered, and Mrs. Liu lowered her eyes to burn incense and worship devoutly. She didn't speak any more, and she didn't answer whether Rongshui forgives or not. She just felt uncomfortable, and was deliberately used by someone who really loved her like a daughter. After coming to deal with her husband, she really couldn't remain indifferent.

But let her hate Rongshui just because of this, and it's even more uncomfortable to see her forever. As early as when I first saw this clever girl, I had an idea in my heart to let her be my goddaughter. Unexpectedly... the girl is really smart, but This strength is used to calculate his soft heart and deal with his husband.

Rong Shui felt sad for a while, but he knew that silence was not the answer Liu wanted.

Then he plucked up the courage to talk about his difficulties that day: "Ma'am, Shui'er knows that this time I made you sad. The reason why you took me to see Shanhu in the prison that day was because I wanted him out. The reason was nothing else. Rong Shui thinks that Huchangzhai is indeed a good person, and Mr. Huang should not be hastily convicted! And Madam should know... Mr. Huang has been eyeing Huchangzhai for a long time and wants to get rid of him quickly... Shui'er is afraid of him It is inevitable to misjudgment in the eager pursuit of skill!"

How could Mrs. Liu not know that her husband was eager for quick success as Rong Shui said, and he expected that he was a small official stationed in the military supply department in the frontier, and his heart was full of revenge. How could this transfer not want to make some political achievements to win the appreciation of the higher-ups?
Her husband, Mrs. Liu, understands what Rong Shui is worried about, but how can Mrs. Liu be confused about which is more important?When Huang Zhi came to the court that day, he found out that Mrs. Liu had brought Rongshui into the prison to visit Shan Hu in her name. Although there was no progress in getting Shan Hu exonerated, Huang Zhi was still very annoyed.

How many times have I said to Mrs. Liu that day: "Confused! You are so stupid! Ma'am, you have led me into the house! I have lost my wife and lost my army! You are not human inside and out, that girl He also called Master Zhan Kezhen! How much influence it will have on my career in the future!"

Married for this matter for more than ten years, even though Liu Shi failed to leave a son and a half daughter, Huang Zhi had never been anxious to her.

After knowing the whole story, Mrs. Liu also blamed Rong Shui for not understanding what she did, but so what?Where is the palm and back of the hand not meat?

Mrs. Liu looked at Rong Shui meaningfully and said: "Girl, you know that you have rescued a good man all of a sudden, but you have delayed my master for some reason. Even if you want to get rid of this mountain tiger with all your heart, how can you call me a good man?" Come to Zhan Kezhen? Do you know that he is my master's superior, and I am very dissatisfied with his trial!"

Rong Shui was indeed wronged for this point, she said: "Madam is not, Master Zhan Kezhen was really not invited by me, even if I really can't save Shanhu, I will not intentionally harm Master Huang in Master Zhan's mind." Impressive!"

It's not that Liu doesn't want to believe it, it's just that it's useless to talk about it now, and it makes her heart exhausted.

So he said: "Okay, Shui'er, these are not important anymore, even if you use me, I think we will get along with each other, I will not hold grudges against you, but what I am embarrassing now is my master I'm afraid I won't want to forgive you."

Rong Shui just knew that Huang Zhi had hated him, so he came here today to communicate with him. Whether he can persuade Huang Zhi to be forgiven is one thing, but he has to do something. Shi is willing to forgive her.

He even swore in his heart that he would never let Mrs. Liu be hurt again because of her, and if he had the opportunity, he would take care of her like a godmother and repay her sincere love.

She said to Mrs. Liu: "Madam, Shui'er will not let you down if she knows she was wrong. As for Mr. Huang, Rong Shui wants to see him to explain and apologize in person!"

Liu Shi wondered: "Shui'er, you also know that the master doesn't want to see you recently, and always avoids you!"

Rong Shui said: "That's right, so I want to ask Madam to take me to meet Mr. Huang, after all Mr. Huang spent so much money and material resources to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits because of me, and after all the hard work to arrest him, I will give evidence." I was also the one who failed to escape the crime, and I owe him an explanation."

Seeing Rong Shui's determination, Liu could only reluctantly agree, she still had some hope in her heart that Rong Shui could say what Huang Zhi had kept in her heart, and let the two families rebuild their old relationship.

So he took Rongshui out of the yard and brought him to Huang Zhi who was dealing with business in the study.

As soon as Huang Zhi saw Mrs. Liu come in with Rong Shui, he put down his pen, extremely unhappy, and said in a strange way: "What's wrong? Rong Shui, what's your business? I'm not feeling well today, so I can't see you."

Rong Shui went up to pay a respectful visit, and then said: "Master Huang, Rong Shui knows that he is ashamed... He was too busy to come to the door to apologize before, and he came here to make an apology to Master Huang."

Huang Zhi was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "How dare you be worthy? Your Rongshui is now a living bodhisattva praised by everyone in Jiangcheng for repaying grievances with virtue, but I, Huang Zhi, have become a stupid official who wants to impose crimes on others regardless of right and wrong. !Even Mr. Zhan criticized me severely, so why do you, Rongshui, pretend to be hypocritical again?!"

Rong Shui knew that Huang Zhi was angry, but he didn't expect him to be so resentful. He knew that today's matter might not be able to progress, but he had to make a little effort.

So he said again: "Master Huang, it is absolutely not voluntary to be disobedient with you, but loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, and I also have unspeakable difficulties. I don't hope you will understand, but I beg you to calm down."

Persuaded by Rong Shui's rationality, Huang Zhi was even more bitter, and complained one by one: "Well, Rong Shui, you and I discussed the detailed steps and plans before going up the mountain, and the progress is smooth. Together, we will help your family get rid of the threat." , how did you know that you and the bandit came together, found some evidence and called out Zhan Kezhen, do you really think I'm stupid?"

Unexpectedly, the misunderstanding deepened as the explanation deepened, and Rong Shui couldn't argue with it. It seemed that in Huang Zhi's heart, she had already been labeled as a scheming label.

Seeing that Rong Shui was speechless, Huang Zhi said again: "Rong Shui, don't pretend to be here with me. What's the purpose of speaking directly? Are you here to ask me if the regulations on the mine have been approved by you?"

Rong Shui opened her mouth, she really wanted to know now, but when Huang Zhi said this, she was blocked and couldn't open her mouth.

Huang Zhi had expected it a long time ago, and saw through your true face, and said, "You don't need to say it, I know! The matter of the mine is not so simple. Now that there are iron mines in the suburbs of the city, there are more or less people in Jiangcheng and Tongzhou. Businessmen with financial and material resources and full of sincerity are all interested in that mountain, so I naturally want to consider the development of Jiangcheng, so go back and wait for news."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhi's meaning is very obvious. He is no longer the quasi-owner of the mine. Rong Shui asked in disbelief: "Master Huang! Don't forget that I first discovered the suburban mine before inviting you to develop and utilize it together." Yes, and there is still a promise between the two of us?"

Huang Zhi smiled contemptuously, thinking that Rongshui's words were very interesting, he said: "Rongshui, are you thinking too much? Is it the king's land in the whole world! This entire Tongzhou and Jiangcheng's land does not belong to anyone, even if you You can't change anything if you find out at first, and as for the promise, I didn't give you any definitive statement at that time, it was you who misunderstood."

Huang Zhi's refutation made Rong Shui realize that in this bureaucratic and feudal society, so-called verbal promises are so unfeasible. Even if the black and white words are put in front of Huang Zhi today, as long as he doesn't want to talk to himself, he still can't do anything. Bar.

Rong Shui nodded, as if he understood something, and asked: "Since Mr. Huang means what he wants, then Rong Shui would like to ask again, can Rong Shui compete fairly with all the businessmen in the city for the opportunity to contract the mine?"

Huang Zhi thought about it, and didn't make things difficult this time, so he sent it directly: "Of course, every merchant has a chance, but the premise is that there must be sufficient financial and material resources, otherwise the mine will be contracted with you, and it will take three and a half years." There will be no work to start, no iron ore to be produced, not only affecting the livelihood of the people in Jiangcheng, but also unable to meet the stipulated output and unable to account to the court."

After finishing speaking, he looked Rongshui up and down again, and said, "Rongshui, don't blame me for not reminding you, your Rong family has been farming for generations, and you only built a shop in your hands. Do you have the financial resources to communicate with those generations?" This official advises you not to waste your efforts in vain, just stick to your fried chicken shop and make enough money to live!"

With Huang Zhi's sarcasm, Rong Shui's back was still straight, unaffected at all, and he didn't have the fragile self-esteem of a small family, and his heart was broken.

She just smiled at Huang Zhi indifferently, and asked confidently: "It means that Master Huang asked Rong Shui to use the funds for contracting mines and setting up iron ore factories, so that I would be qualified to compete with other businessmen? But since Mr. Huang said that there is news of iron mines in the suburbs, everyone knows that I have a close personal relationship with Mr. Huang a while ago. If you think about it carefully, who doesn’t know that I have an oral contract with you to contract the mine? At that time, I will take out the funds , Mr. Huang may still break the contract, and the daughters of the people don't mind shaking out the agreement between you and me, and see how unscrupulous Mr. Huang is in the eyes of the people."

General Rongshui's Huang Zhi's army is also at the right time. After all the pros and cons, he even asked for funds to win the ownership of the mine. The high is really high, but Huang Zhi is not afraid of her at all. Instead, he said arrogantly : "Okay, Rong Shui! Okay, I will promise you today, as long as you can get the funds, I will immediately approve the clauses for you to contract the mine!"

Rong Shui nodded and agreed: "Okay, it's settled, then Rong Shui will take his leave first, Madam Shui'er will come to visit some other day."

After speaking, Rong Shui turned towards Liu Shi and left. Liu Shi wanted to keep her but did not dare to disobey her husband.

Huang Zhi is confident, Rong Shui, Rong Shui, don't be too arrogant, a small fried chicken restaurant can spend such a huge sum of money?Even if you have to go to the bank to borrow money, the official has his own way to make you unhappy.
