On the last day of the three-day period given by Jin Xida, Zhen Dafu arrived just after Si Shichu. This time Lin did not come, but Zhen Kebao and Zhen Keling followed.

Zhen Kebao is three or four years older than Shujie. He is now ten years old. He looks pretty good, but he is short, more than half a head shorter than Shujie.

Zhen Keling is half a year younger than Shuyao, because she was the youngest daughter of Zhen Dafu and his wife when they were in their forties. She was spoiled very much, and she looked arrogant and arrogant at a young age.

As soon as she entered the yard, Zhen Keling pouted: "Such a small yard! Oh, what is that? It's so dirty!"

A little maid of seven or eight years old quickly led Zhen Keling forward and waved the scented handkerchief on her hand: "Girl, don't look at it, that's chicken shit, it's disgusting."

"Chicken - shit -?" Zhen Keling raised her little hand to cover her nose, "Is this a courtyard where people live?"

Shuyao and Shuwen finished the three big letters they had written in the morning, and were playing with Xiaoguai and Huohuo under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree together with Xiu Tao and Qiu Tao. When they saw Zhen Dafu and his entourage coming in, they did not move, but faced

The study called out: "Brother, uncle is here to pay back the money."

Xiaoguai has a very good memory. As soon as he saw Zhen Dafu, he stood in front of Shuyao and the other four, looked at him warily, and even growled lowly.

The two servants carrying Zhen Dafu were frightened, but when they saw that Xiao Guai showed no signs of rushing over, they still had the courage to move along the wall into the yard, and finally did not throw Zhen Dafu off the sedan chair again. They

Having been here last time, I knew that Xiaoguai would not get angry casually. If Mrs. Lin hadn't screamed and cursed at Shujie last time, Xiaoguai wouldn't have charged at him so horribly.

Zhen Kebao looked at Xiaoguai and Huohuo with fear and greed: "The white tiger, it's really the white tiger! And the red fox, how valuable it is! How come it was given to this cousin who lives in a poor household?"

Where did you get it? How nice to give it to him!"

Huohuo seemed to have seen what Zhen Kebao was thinking. He glared with fox eyes and gave him a "squeak". A cold feeling immediately made Zhen Kebao shiver involuntarily. Why did he feel that...

Is that little fox warning him?

In the eyes of people of this era, white tigers and red foxes are rare spiritual beasts. They are close to the fairy world and cannot be offended. Zhen Kebao retreated to the edge of Zhen Dafu's sedan chair with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at it again.

Xiang Huohuo. But Zhen Keling was attracted by the beautiful Huohuo and Xiaoguai. She wanted to run over but was a little scared.

Shujie heard his sister's call and walked out of the study. Sister-in-law Ajuan also came out of the tofu workshop and said to Qiutao: "Go and ask Qingfu to go, and go to Xu Mansion to ask Mr. Jin to come over."

Chunsheng was still helping at the pork stall at this time, and Qingfu was working as an apprentice in the blacksmith shop. Today happened to be the once-a-month rest day. I had already told him that if the Zhen family came over, they would call him. The people in the Xu family knew Qingfu and Chunsheng.

, they all helped deliver tofu.

Qiu Tao ran out in response, and Zhen Dafu was too late to stop him. He hurriedly said to Shujie: "Brother Jie, why are you so ignorant? Who is Mr. Jin? Why bother him to go away? We should

Those who have come to visit should also go and say hello to Mrs. Xu?"

Shuyao smiled: "Uncle, didn't Uncle Jin say that you can go directly to Xu Mansion to repay the money? If you want to go, just go directly. Why bother coming here?"

Shujie responded: "Exactly, Uncle Jin said that if you come over and pay back the money, we can ask someone to notify him."

Zhen Dafu was at a loss for words. If he could go directly to Jin Tongue and get close to Xu Fu, why would he come to this yard where he had a conflict with him?

Just go there like this, hand over the banknote with one hand, and get the IOU with the other. Wouldn't he just show up and make people laugh? In such an awkward atmosphere, how can he get close to each other, how can he please Golden Tongue and Mrs. Xu?

That's why he came to Shujie and the others to coax them together, and then let them come together to "visit", and then get to know and make friends with Jin Tongue and the people of Xu Mansion in the name of their uncle.

No, he brought his eldest son and youngest daughter. Firstly, they are about the same age as Shujie and Shuyao, so they can get closer and talk better. Secondly, if Zhen Kebao can fall into the eyes of Jin Tongue, or Zhen Kebao

Ke Ling was able to please the third lady of the Xu family, and the good times of the Zhen family were coming, and the two thousand taels were considered worth paying.

Who would have thought that these brothers and sisters really showed no mercy at all, it was so outrageous, and they considered him an elder and an uncle?

At this time, Qiu Tao came back from Sister-in-law Ajuan's house: "Brother Jie, brother Qingfu have already rushed to Xu Mansion. We just went out, and it happened that Uncle Xu (Carpenter Xu) rented a carriage and went to that street to deliver wood work.

I’ll take Brother Qingfu with me.”

Zhen Dafu made a serious face: "Brother Jie, go and stop him quickly. The three of you will come with us to visit Xu Mansion."

Shujie glanced at him: "It's rude to come to the door rashly. Mr. Zhen deals with wealthy families every day in business, so he should know this."

"You..." Zhen Dafu was angry.

Zhen Kebao frowned: "Shujie, why do you say that my father is also the direct uncle of Shuyao and Shuwen? You are still a scholar and a scholar, how can you treat your elders like this? You have no father and mother now. My father, we

The Zhen family is also your support."

He was really unhappy with Shujie, wasn't he only fifteen years old? How could he be so tall and handsome? He looked like he had an aura that made people feel chilled and afraid to look at him.

Shujie snorted coldly: "Relying on you? Relying on you to sell my brothers and sisters to others? Or relying on you to borrow money and refuse to repay it, and come to ask for debts that don't exist at all. Master Zhen, you have also read books

, you should know that according to the laws of Dazhou, I have reached the age of fifteen and can independently support the family, raise my brothers and sisters, and decide our family affairs. Not to mention that you are just my uncle's family, even our uncle and third uncle who have separated the family have no rights.

Mind the business of our three brothers and sisters."

Zhen Kebao's brows twitched: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When will we sell Shuyao and Shuwen? Also, don't you want your reputation? Disrespecting your elders and disregarding the reputation of your relatives can make you

Your brother's future and Shuyao's marriage are all in question."

Shujie sneered and said, "Don't you know there is a saying about 'unkind elders'? On the day of our mother's funeral, Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen stole things in our yard, and colluded with the maid Cuizhu in an attempt to sell me

Brothers and sisters, this is something that many neighbors have witnessed and heard with their own eyes. Uncle Jin, County Magistrate Yang, and many neighbors can testify to the fact that unpaid debts come to your doorstep to defraud people. We might as well see whose reputation is ruined.

?Whose future and whose marriage are in question?"
