Chapter 27: Enwei's backhand, rain or shine
"Does the guest officer want to write letters? This is much cheaper than that store, so it is absolutely perfect!"
Seeing the man who had just walked into Shulinzhai and walked towards him, Cui Shi became nervous inexplicably. He subconsciously stood up and said respectfully, as he seemed to be attracted by the other party's demeanor.
Although Cui Shi also knew very well that people with this kind of demeanor would definitely not need others to write letters.
"Uh," Wang Chuan seemed a little embarrassed. He pondered for a moment, took out a few dollars from his arms and handed it over, "I'm thankful for this brother. I didn't ask you to write a letter on your behalf. I think you should be a little older. I must know very well about Shulinzhai. I don't know when is the young master Chen Zhi usually in the store?"
Cui Shi glanced at the seven big money in his hand and swallowed a saliva.
He only had five cents for a letter, but now he asked him for Chen Zhi's whereabouts and gave him seven cents, which made him more money than writing directly, which shocked the writer's heart.
Of course he would not refuse to accept this money, but to be honest, Cui Shi could not accurately grasp Chen Zhi's whereabouts, but he had long developed the habit of always paying attention to Shulinzhai, so he also knew one key.
"The young master of the Chen family often goes to the Chen family during the day and most of them will come back at night. He lives in this store now."
This answer surprised Wang Chuan.
"Living in a store? This is not very decent. Could it be that there is something hidden?" Wang Chuan was careful and felt that it might be a place to use.
"I heard it was because of gambling debts, and I don't know much about the details." Cui Shi didn't dare to speak too much, for fear that the money he had won would fly away. At the same time, he held the seven big money tightly and was unwilling to let go for a moment.
Seeing the situation, Wang Chuan chuckled and didn't say it out loud. After thanking him, he left and prepared to come back to visit again in the evening.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhi did not come back tonight. Chen's mansion sent someone to inform Lin Zhai that Chen Zhi was fascinated by reading books in the book Pavilion and would spend the night in the mansion today.
In this way, Wang Chuan's plan failed to get what he wanted, but he spent a night to roughly understand the troubles Chen Zhi had encountered through the Wang family's industry in Pengcheng County.
"I didn't expect that I really had a bit of a celebrity style and a unruly idea. The number of gambling debts of twelve taels is not too much, which is not a problem for the Chen family. But I have helped him a lot before, and it is probably the problem, so I sent him here," Wang Chuan pondered, "For the gambling debts, this young master Chen Zhi barely paid back the items in his family. He never saw him sell mobao outside. Could it be that he had such an idea because he opened a store? That's a blessing. Otherwise, if he would be able to make a splash after he devoted himself to a few years, he would make a big splash again, mobao would be even harder to find."
After thinking about it, Wang Chuan still thought he could not pay off his gambling debts by himself.
"Talented people are generally weird-looking, just like the book snare in Qingzhou. It is said that they read thousands of books, but their family is barely covered by them. Someone sponsored him, but they angered him. In the end, they parted in disagreement. How could this young master Chen Zhi not be a voluntary person and experience life? To be safe, wait first and talk about it when he meets the master."
With this idea, Wang Chuan came to Fengyang Street in the morning and chose a tea shop not far from Shulinzhai, while tasting tea while waiting.
However, Chen Zhi did not wait, but at noon he saw an acquaintance walking into Shulinzhai.
"Lord Zuo?" Looking at Zuo Yuan's figure, Wang Chuan frowned, "How could he be here? It's even more troublesome. If even the owner of Zuo knows it, it will spread soon. I have to hurry up, but with the shopkeeper who is disgusting, I'm afraid the owner of Zuo is not good." Thinking of this, he showed a look of watching the excitement, and he seemed to be very disgusted with Manager Wu.
Sure enough, he soon saw Zuo Yuan walk out of Shulinzhai with an unhappy look and then return the same way. This made Wang Chuan feel relieved, at least he lacked a competitor, but his expression changed slightly, because after seeing Zuo Yuan take a few steps, he suddenly turned around and took out a few big money from his arms and gave it to the writer-in-chief at the corner of the street.
……………………
Looking at the seven big coins in his hand blankly, Cui Shi had not yet come to his senses, but he still asked and informed Zuo Yuan of some information about Chen Zhi, which was similar to what he told Wang Chuan yesterday.
When Zuo Yuan left with satisfaction, Cui Shi glanced at seven big coins again, and actually raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
"Ouch!"
When Cui Shi was crying in pain, he was shocked and quickly packed the money, and then sighed.
"It's not a dream. Telling someone a few words about the Chen family's son is more cost-effective than writing letters. What do these aristocratic people think?"
As he thought about it, he looked at Shulinzhai again. His emotions were complicated, but he no longer dared to regard Chen Zhi as a ridiculous young master.
"Eighty-mostly another strange thing. If I can get involved, maybe it's a good relationship. Do you have to find an opportunity to get along with each other? After all, you are so close, and the eight words on Chen Shulinzhai's signboard probably have to be here..."
Suddenly, Cui Shi thought of something again and his expression changed again.
"Not good. Yesterday I told the man that the young master of the Chen family would come back every night, but he didn't return last night. The man probably wanted to pursue me. The money he got might have to fly again. No, I'd better avoid it quickly."
Thinking of this, he stopped putting up his stall, cleaned up and left in a hurry.
But he didn't know that after he left, Chen Zhi returned with the newly-developed little book boy in just over an hour.
"The Legalists' knowledge is quite interesting. The law, art and power have their own uses. I also got the Legalists' signature in my previous life. There are many cases involving the three, but I didn't seek much understanding. I just borrowed their abilities and missed many opportunities for in-depth research. If I get the Legalists' signature in this life, I should compare them and study them well."
When he walked into Shulinzhai, Chen Zhi recalled the contents of the book, and then he saw Manager Wu with a smile on his face and greeted him.
"The boss is here, Wu has always been there." Manager Wu bowed seriously.
Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, right? I have seen you and I have seen you in the mansion before, but the elders are present, so it is not easy to talk about it. I will rely more on you in the future."
"Where, the boss is joking," Manager Wu grinned. After hearing Chen Zhi's words, he felt that the young master seemed to be not very cunning, and he might be able to take the opportunity to take power. So he changed his mind and said, "There is one thing that the boss should pay a little attention. Just say that those who come to ask for words in the past two days are all bad intentions and want to take advantage of our Chen family. The boss must not let such people do what they want."
"Oh? Someone came to the door?" Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Chen Fu. The latter understood and went forward to tell him about Wang Chuan and Zuo Yuan's visit.
Manager Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, I have notified the master of the news..."
"Have you sent someone to the mansion to inform me?" Chen Zhi said lightly after hearing this.
"Yes." Manager Wu did not notice the change in Chen Zhi's tone. He was about to say it again, but was stopped by Chen Zhi waved his hand.
"Boss?" Manager Wu finally noticed that something was wrong.
"Wu Chang," Chen Zhi called out his name, his voice with an indescribable majesty, "I know what you think, and I don't object to your proper self-righteous actions. There is one thing you must know that I am the one who can make the decision. Who can see and what can be done must be decided by me. No matter you or the Chen family, there is no right to make a decision for me. Do you understand?"
His voice was not loud and his tone was very plain. But as soon as he said this, the entire lobby fell into silence. Whether it was Chen Ting or Chen Fu, he didn't dare to take a breath. He only felt that Chen Zhi in front of him was extremely strange than before, and had an inexplicable majesty. The atmosphere in the entire lobby became solemn and covered with clouds.
As for the shopkeeper Wu, who was the first to bear the brunt, he was sweating all over and wanted to argue, but when Chen Zhi looked at him, his back suddenly became cold. He didn't dare to say anything, but just nodded and said yes.
"Just understand," Chen Zhi suddenly smiled, "Shulinzhai will have to take care of you in the future. I will say it in front, and we all know the bottom line, so that we can meet each other in the future, so that we can avoid any trouble."
His smile seemed to have passed the severe winter, early spring came, the rain passed and the sky cleared, and the solemn atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
"Yes, yes, or the boss is thoughtful." Manager Wu was already sweating profusely, knowing that this new boss is not the rumored playboy at all. He is afraid he is a not simple person and dare not have any thoughts again.
Chen Zhi nodded, called Chen Fu again, and went to the inner room to ask.
"How did you talk to the people from Chen's family? What did you find?"
Chen Fu said, "I asked the servants of the Chen family according to the method of the young master. They all said that there was nothing unusual recently, and they also said that someone had spoken to recently, but there was not much stranger."
Chen Zhi nodded and asked again: "Say their words roughly..."
Chen Fu was naturally unable to worry about everyone's detailed words, but the general content could be repeated. After he finished speaking, Chen Zhi tapped the table and finally smiled: "Xu Fang is very active recently and has a friendship with everyone. He is a servant of Chen Yun's mansion, but he is fighting with Chen's mansion and often asks about his well-being. It's really interesting."
"Is there any problem with this person?" Chen Fu's expression tightened. "I heard that this person is very romantic and has an affair with several maids in the mansion. But the old lady praised him very much, so no one caused trouble for him. Could it be that he was arrogant because of his favor and did not know the superiority of the superiors and inferiority?"
"There should be a problem," Chen Zhi laughed and changed the subject. "By the way, I'll have to trouble Uncle Fu these two days. I have to check whether there are any farms and pavilions in my big creditor's name, which are mainly wooden structures and brightly lit places at night."
"Big creditor? Are you talking about the gambling merchant Bai Qing?" Chen Fu responded to this order when he heard this, but he still had doubts on his face, not only did this move come from.
Shortage of staff!
Looking at Chen Fu in front of him, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh. After all, he could only trouble this old servant.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door—
"May I ask, is Mr. Chen Zhi here? I'm going to Wangchuan to see you."
