A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Shopkeeper Hu raised his eyelids, glanced at Gu Youlu and the others, and directly took out a copied deed and put it on the table: "With the contract, you are not allowed to tell others where Gu lives, otherwise you will be compensated with one hundred thousand taels of silver. If you want to know , bring one hundred thousand taels of silver."

It was a very conscientious thing to receive 100,000 taels less than the Qi family.

After Gu Youlu and the others heard this, they immediately became angry. It was another hundred thousand taels. Do the Fu Tailou and the Qi family know how much silver one hundred thousand taels is? Not to mention their Gu family, even the Li family may not be able to get it.

Qian Chengcai grabbed Shopkeeper Hu's lapel and said, "Do you know who we are? Be smart and tell us where Gu lives, or we'll smash up your Futai Building!"

Shopkeeper Hu, who had experienced many battles, said with a calm smile: "Smash it as you like. After you smash it, we will go to Fucheng Yamen to sue you for losses."

Qian Chengcai was shocked. He stared at his eyes with big bags and said, "Do you know who we are? We are the new magistrate Tongzhi! We are the benefactors of Lord Tongzhi. How dare you go to the government to sue us? Your restaurant still has Do you want to open it?"

When Shopkeeper Hu heard this, he gave Qian Chengcai a serious look and said silently in his heart: Master Tongzhi is truly unlucky to have a benefactor like you.

Shopkeeper Hu pulled back his clothes, straightened his coat, pointed at the door and said, "If you want to smash the store, just smash it yourself."

Gu Youlu pointed at him and asked, "Are you really not afraid?"

Shopkeeper Hu said: "We are good citizens and we open a store honestly. Why should we be afraid? What we should be afraid of are people who smash stores and protect those who smash shops."

Shopkeeper Hu turned his eyes and glanced at Li Bai: "This is not the first time our restaurant has been smashed because of this incident. Every time, we can get back the damage, and the person who smashed the restaurant didn't end well either. End."

He also said meaningfully: "Since the water bandit case, officials in Jianghuai and Jiangnan have been extremely particular about their official reputation."

After saying this, he stopped talking to Li Bai and the others and continued to settle accounts with his head down.

Li Bai is the youngest son of Butler Li, a "noble son" among the servants, and he also has a bit of a bully mentality in his heart. But what this shopkeeper Hu said frightened him, because the water bandit case was so big back then, and even though three years had passed, it was still brought up from time to time.

Li Bai didn't want to ruin Mr. Li's official reputation, so he softened his tone for the first time and said, "Is there any other way?"

Then he took out a piece of ten taels of silver and handed it to Shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu didn't even look at the ingot of silver, and repeated what he said before: "If you want to know where Gu's house is, bring me one hundred thousand taels of silver, or please leave. If you feel uncomfortable, smash up the store, and we'll settle the accounts after you finish." "

Qian Chengcai had lived as an uncle for more than two years and had never experienced such grievances. When he heard these words, he immediately rushed out and smashed two tables in the lobby.

With two bangs, the table was overturned.

The guests who were eating were all stunned. When they realized what they were doing, they pointed at Qian Chengcai and asked angrily: "Who are you? Dare you smash our table? Do you know how long we have been waiting for this table?!"

The business of Fu Tai Lou is very good, and the business is even better during the Chinese New Year. However, because of the Chinese New Year, half of the staff of Fu Tai Lou have gone home for the holidays. Therefore, it is not easy for people in Fucheng to eat the food from Futailou. They rely on their own reputation to eat this meal. They were eating happily when someone knocked the table over.

Turning over the table while eating is no different from smashing pots and digging up ancestral graves. It's a slap in the face. Can you bear this? Absolutely not!

"Brothers, if this guy lifts our dining table and hits us in the face like this, I'll hit him back. I won't beat him to death!" A young man in brocade clothes said, taking the lead to roll up his sleeves and hit Qian Chengcai.

Others also shook their fists and punched and kicked Qian Chengcai, until Qian Chengcai screamed: "Stop, ow, stop it. If you dare to hit me, Li Tongzhi will not let you go." I am Li Tongzhi’s nephew, my grandpa’s family name is Gu, ah!”

There was a middle-aged man in his forties at another table. Hearing this, he said, "It turns out he is Li Tongzhi's cheap nephew. You guys keep fighting. If something goes wrong, I, the Yan family of Linhe Prefecture, will take care of it."

The Yan family in Linhe Prefecture is a well-known family. There are many officials in the family now, some are eighth-rank officials, some are second-rank officials. People in several nearby prefectures know that they are a family that cannot be offended.

Now that Qian Chengcai has turned over Master Yan's dining table, he is probably going to peel off his skin.

After hearing this, the group of young people immediately said: "Hey, Mr. Yan, don't worry, this guy doesn't understand the rules and knocks people off the table while he's eating. If we don't fight him, we'll take his surname."

Another bang bang bang hit Qian Chengcai until he vomited blood.

Qian Guangzong and Gu Youlu were both afraid of death and did not dare to help. They were also afraid of being implicated by Qian Chengcai, so they hid in shopkeeper Hu's accounting room and did not dare to come out.

Li Bai couldn't hide, so he immediately went downstairs and knelt in front of Master Yan: "This servant is a servant of the same magistrate. I beg Master Yan to forgive me. My masters have no idea about this matter. It's all Master Chengcai's fault." Wrong, don’t worry, my master will definitely teach Young Master Chengcai a lesson when he returns, please be kind and don’t make a big fuss."

Mr. Yan ignored Li Bai at all and looked at Shopkeeper Hu who was following him downstairs: "Shopkeeper Hu, you have to fill up a table for us according to the rules."

Shopkeeper Hu smiled and said: "Of course it needs to be replenished. I've asked the people in the kitchen to make it. It will be ready to eat in three quarters of an hour."

Fu Tai Lou's rule is that no matter who smashes the guest's table, Fu Tai Lou will make up another table for the guest.

After hearing this, Mr. Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Hu was very knowledgeable and said to Mr. Yan: "The private room upstairs is empty and has been reserved for you. Please come to the private room to have dinner."

Master Yan finally laughed out loud and took the people at his table to the private room on the second floor.

"Master Yan..." Li Bai wanted to catch up, but was stopped by shopkeeper Hu: "You should go home quickly and let Li Tongzhi come forward to apologize in person, otherwise Master Yan will write a letter to his brother and this matter will spread to the capital. Go, the Yushitai will read a copy of Li Tongzhi after hearing this."

This was what Li Bai was most afraid of, and he didn't dare to say anything more at the moment. After the group of young people stopped, he immediately called Qian Guangzong and Gu Youlu to carry Qian Chengcai back to the prefect.

When Aunt Gu knew that Qian Chengcai had been beaten, she burst into tears and cursed Fu Tailou: "This Fu Tailou who kills a thousand swords dares to beat my Chengcai. When Mr. Li comes back, I will definitely kill Mr. Li." It’s up to you to seal Futai Tower!”

Butler Li frowned when he heard this. This old Gu family has gone too far. They have caused such a big trouble for the Lord, and they dare to shout for the Lord to seal Futai Building. Do they think that the Lord of his family is the emperor? Can you do anything for them?

Mrs. Gu was not stupid. After listening to Li Bai tell what happened, she grabbed Qian Guangzong and slapped him: "How did you become a father to let Chengcai do such a wrong thing? If you cause such trouble to Mr. Li, I will beat you to death!"

As he spoke, he raised his crutch and beat Qian Guangzong randomly.
