Chapter 207: Shopkeeper Zeng kowtows and apologizes

Chapter 207 Shopkeeper Zeng kowtows and apologizes

“Brother, don’t worry, she is just a farm girl who has never seen the world. A few good words and a few good things can win her over,” Zou Yuwan said.

Zou Yuzhen reminded her: "Don't look down on those families. How did the Lu family become so damaged? It's not all because of those families. You should be more careful and handle this matter well. Third brother will take you to Fucheng , attend the birthday banquet of the old lady of Qi Mansion."

Zou Yuzhen knew what Zou Yuwan was thinking and told her: "Mr. Qi's two nephews in the capital will also come back."

Zou Yuwan's eyes widened when she heard this. She suppressed her excitement and said to Zou Yuzhen, "Don't worry, third brother, I will definitely handle this matter for you."

If Mr. Qi's nephew can like her, then she can marry to the capital.

Even if she cannot marry the two noble sons of the Qi family, it will be of great benefit to her to attend the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Qi family.

The Qi family is considered a prominent family in Fucheng. Mrs. Qi's birthday banquet will definitely be attended by many officials' wives. If she can be favored by those ladies, even if she cannot marry in the capital, she can still marry in Fucheng, and she will not be trapped in the capital all her life. Tianfu County is a broken county.

After the two brothers and sisters finished talking about this, they went back to their rooms to rest.

 The next day, before dawn, two mule carts drove into Dafeng Village and stopped in front of the Lu family's mansion.

The person in the car was none other than Shopkeeper Zeng of Fugui Building. He had followed the third young master’s instructions and brought two cars full of generous gifts.

After arriving at the Lu family, he did not dare to call the door. Instead, he kept waiting until brother and sister Zou Yuzhen and Mr. Qi came out with their servants. Please greet me."

Zou Yuzhen's face turned cold and he scolded Zeng Da: "It was you who made the mistake first. When you get to Gu's workshop, you have to make a good apology. Otherwise, you don't have to be the shopkeeper of Fugui Building."

Zeng Dashan said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Third Young Master, I will definitely apologize to the Qin Gu Luotian family."

Mr. Qi next to him just glanced at Zeng Da and did not ask. Zou Yuzhen was smart. Before he came to Dafeng Village, he had told him that Fuguilou wanted to buy the Gu family tofu recipe at a low price, but the purchase failed and there was a rift between the two parties.

Zou Yuzhen dared to say this to Mr. Qi, firstly because he knew that Mr. Qi didn't like people with lower status than the Qi family to lie to him; secondly, it was very common for domestic slaves to use their master's name to bully the people all over the Chu State. There is nothing to hide. On the contrary, it was rare for his master to bring his servants to apologize, and it could earn him some good reputation.

Zou Yuzhen and his party walked toward the end of the village in a mighty manner, and after a while, they arrived at Gu's workshop.

Gu's workshop is in full swing.

He Laoguo and the others have come to work and are taking out the soaked soybeans and preparing to grind them.

He Yang and the others are also here and are queuing up in the main room to get medicinal materials from Gu Jinli and prepare to grind spices.

Gu Dashan and Gu Dafu were cooking tofu for He Dacang, Liang Zhuzi and his party who came to get tofu.

There was a group of people gathered outside the door of Gu's workshop, all of them came to ask for tofu and seasonings.

Village chief He was taking the He family and He Sanshengzi to stop those people. The third grandfather shouted to them: "Fellow fellow villagers, our Gu's workshop has just opened, and the tofu we can make is limited. We must first supply the people in our own village, and then sell it to other villages."

Those who came to ask for tofu also knew that tofu was difficult to get. When they saw that they couldn't get it, they asked again: "Where are the spices? I heard that you can grind dozens of kilograms of spices a day now. With so many spices, you can always give us some spices, right?" "

He Sanleizi raised his voice and said: "What's the deal! On the day our workshop opened, the county captain came over with his brother-in-law and ordered a batch of spices from our workshop. The people in our workshop are busy with this big business. No extra seasonings for you."

He Sanleizi was very good at pretending to be powerful. He took out Jiang County Lieutenant's name and said: "Our workshop is controlled by Jiang County Lieutenant. Get out of here and don't shout here. If you get into trouble, the County Lieutenant will send troops to arrest you." !”

Grandpa San quickly scolded Mr. He San: "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? The county captain will never use his power to oppress farmers."

Then he said to those who came to ask for tofu and spices: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, as long as you don't commit any crime, the county captain will not arrest you. However, our workshop did receive a big order, and we will be busy in the past two months." For this business, if the folks want seasonings, they will have to wait a little longer.”

When the villagers heard this, they could only leave in anger.

They are just farmers, how can they dare to rob things from the county captain's brothers?

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qi frowned slightly, then relaxed it quickly.

After the group of people left, Zou Yuzhen and the others stepped forward and said to the third grandfather: "Old man, I am the third son of Zou County Cheng and the grandson of the Lu family. I just came back from Fucheng a few days ago and learned that what Zeng Da did I feel very sad about some wrongdoings, and today I brought Zeng Dal here to apologize to you all."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Third Grandpa to answer, he called Zeng Da directly: "Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Mr. Gu!"

With a plop, Zeng Da knelt on his knees and raised his head three times to Third Grandpa: "Little Zeng Da, I was obsessed with lard some time ago. I fell in love with your tofu recipe and used some shady means to give it to you. I have caused a lot of trouble to my family, please don’t be angry and forgive me this time.”

Zou Yuzhen showed his identity and purpose as soon as he came up; Zeng Da even kowtowed and apologized as soon as he came up; Third Grandpa was so confused by them that he didn't react at all.

Gu Jinli heard the sound and ran out of the main room. When he saw Zeng Da kneeling on the ground, he sneered: "Isn't this the shopkeeper Zeng from Fugui Building? Why are you kneeling in front of our workshop? Are you here to grab the tofu recipe again? What happened this time? Didn't you bring Mr. Lu and the thugs raised by the Lu family?"

"That's right. You are a servant of the Cheng family in Zouxian County. You consider yourself a member of the official family. You are just grabbing prescriptions from good people. You don't need thugs at all. Let's put it bluntly. Which farmer dares not to give it? If he doesn't give it, , then you have to go to the county government and go to jail."

“I heard that Shopkeeper Zeng got a new beautiful concubine two years ago and is living a happy life. I would like to congratulate Shopkeeper Zeng first.”

Gu Jinli's rapid-fire words caught Zeng Da and Zou Yuzhen off guard.

Zou Yuzhen glanced at Mr. Qi and saw that he frowned and had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He immediately kicked Zeng Da and said angrily: "You are a slave, how dare you take a concubine? The one you took is a girl from a good family. Da According to Chu's criminal law, slaves cannot take concubines, let alone marry good ones. What you are doing, what you are doing..."

Zou Yuzhen acted as if he was too angry to speak. He really didn't expect that a little peasant girl not only spoke without scruples, but also knew so much, even about the concubinage Zeng Dan years ago.

It is not new for servants like Zeng Da to take concubines, but they are usually kept hidden and not publicized outside. It seems that the Gu family has investigated Zeng Da, otherwise it would be impossible to know such a secret thing.

As a spoiler, the heroine's aunt's family will appear soon, and the Lu family and the Zou family will be destroyed later (the early stage is mainly about farming and making a fortune, so I won't write too many scheming things). The heroine will use her medical knowledge to further make her fortune. The sweetness of the male and female protagonists will increase as they grow up. Thank you to the small public officials who support you. Please pay attention to protection at home and don't worry too much. It will be fine. ^0^
