Just as Zuo Shaoqing was in a daze, the door to his room was pushed open and Luo Xiaoliu yelled in surprise.
"Master, why did you get up?" Luo Xiaoliu looked at San Ye who was standing still on the bed and his mind was in a mess. Didn't San Ye get hurt so badly that he couldn't get up?
Only then did Zuo Shaoqing realize that he had lost his composure. He slowly sat on the bed and ordered Luo Xiaoliu, "Go and close the door!"
When everyone returned to him, Zuo Shaoqing stared at him while playing with the wooden board: "Don't look at what you shouldn't, don't ask what you shouldn't, don't say what you shouldn't, remember?"
Although his tone was very calm, Luo Xiaoliu was still covered in cold sweat. He did not know when this San Ye had developed such a calm and powerful temperament. It was really unbearable.
Luo Xiaoliu had already experienced Zuo Shaoqing's power and was afraid that Zuo Shaoqing would kill him to silence him. He nervously knelt on the ground and said, "Master, your servant did not see anything!"
"Yes, very good." Since he was exposed, Zuo Shaoqing didn't pretend to be a patient with injuries. His legs dangled by the side of the bed as he instructed Luo Xiaoliu to do something for him.
"Go and invite Second Uncle over first. Tell him that your nephew has some business to discuss, then go to Nanny Liu's five taels of silver and help me buy some things."
"Grandpa, are you looking for Second Master?" Luo Xiaoliu didn't know how many times he had been surprised in the past few days. Ever since San Ye had recovered, he had been reborn and changed.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Zuo Shaoqing reported what he wanted to buy to him and urged him to go quickly.
"Yes, your servant will go now!" Luo Xiaoliu did not dare to stay in his room, so he took the mission outside without stopping.
A few years after Zuo Family returned, they split up. Second Master Zuo Yunyang brought his meager land and a few shops to the east side of the city where Thorny Tree Alley was located.
Second Master was born to be a businessman. With his amazing talent and luck, he managed to accumulate enough wealth to the point where the mansion would be jealous of him in the short span of ten years.
However, the main house was for scholars and the second house was for merchants. Their status was clear at a glance, not to mention that Second Master was a concubine.
Zuo Yunyang was a man of his word. He knew that their family was just a lowly merchant register after leaving the mansion, so all these years they had to eat and drink. When outsiders heard this, they would only say: "Brother is courteous, drink water and think of the source!"
Although the main house looked down on the status of the second house, they still had to give face after receiving so many benefits. Thus, the two houses had always gotten along well, at least on the surface.
Zuo Shaoqing was very short of money right now, so the first person he thought of was this second uncle who knew how to give birth to money.
He needed to buy good medicine and food for the man to eat, drink, and recuperate, so the money was a big problem.
He wasn't sure if he could get the money from Second Master, but he still had to give it a try. If possible, he still wanted to make a long-term profitable profit.
He had never gone through a business or even a family business before. He had only relied on a few more years of "experience" than others.
Zuo Second Master came very slowly. He frowned the moment he entered the yard and then walked into Zuo Shaoqing's house as if nothing had happened.
"I heard that nephew was injured a while ago. Is he feeling better?" Zuo Yunyang had the face of a Maitreya Buddha. He didn't smile, but he was also happy. He sat on the footstool beside the bed and looked at his nephew who he hadn't seen many times.
He knew that the concubine was not doing well, but he did not intend to lend a helping hand. It was already difficult for the two of them to maintain their politeness, and he would not cause trouble for himself.
Zuo Shaoqing leaned powerlessly on the headboard. His face was pale from the initial recovery, but his pair of beautiful eyes were exceptionally bright.
"Second Uncle, your nephew wants to do a business with you. Are you interested?" Zuo Shaoqing went straight to the point. He didn't have time to test each other out.
A flash of surprise appeared in Zuo Yunyang's eyes, then he laughed and asked: "Then, how does nephew plan to do business with second uncle?"
Zuo Shaoqing ignored the disdain in his words and looked at him confidently, "I think what Second Uncle is asking is just that Second Cousin can get married to a good family, Fourth Cousin can make a name for himself, and Second House is safe and sound, but?"
The eldest daughter was one year younger than Zuo Shuhui, and the youngest son was three years younger than Zuo Shaoqing. Both of them were direct descendants, and Zuo Yunyang never had a concubine, not even a concubine.
This was also why Zuo Shaoqing dared to bet on him. He believed that a man who loved his wife and started his life with his own hands wasn't like Zuo Yunwen, a flowery pillow.
"Nephew's words are false, which family's parents don't have that kind of desire?"
Zuo Shaoqing made sense when he thought about it. Even Mrs. Xue, whom he hated, had been plotting for her two sons and one daughter.
Zuo Shaoqing thought for a while, organized his thoughts, and then calmly said: "Second Uncle is a bastard, and is also a merchant, although eating and drinking is not worrying, but it is impossible to get people's respect. Adding on the current situation of our Zuo Family, Fourth Cousin Brother is not able to participate in Conference Test even if he is talented in literature, at most he would take the test to bring people home to play, and not have any achievements! I'm afraid you don't want him to go into business. "
Zuo Shaoqing's words are a bit heavy, Zuo Yunyang even looked at him with ridicule: "Nephew, did you forget? "You are just a little bastard!"
"Second Uncle, there's no need to be angry. Nephew only wants to explain the situation to you. What if I say that I have a way to change the current situation of Zuo Family?"
Zuo Yunyang naturally did not believe him and thought that the third son was just daydreaming.
"Back then, Zuo Family stood on the wrong side of the army, so it was His Majesty's great kindness not to be executed by the entire family." He was even delusional enough to think that he could change the situation. The people of this mansion must be thinking of returning to the temple, right?
Zuo Yunyang did not try to conceal his contempt and doubt, but the string that was innermost in his heart was still slightly strummed.
"I know that Second Uncle has no reason to believe an insignificant person like me, but there is a saying: There is no absolute in this world. How can you guarantee that I won't be able to do what I say?" The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth slowly curled up, which was especially convincing when matched with his pair of bright and deep eyes.
Zuo Yunyang couldn't help but glance at this nephew of his. In his memory, this child had always been timid, timid, and had a soft temper.
When did this unremarkable child grow up to be like this? Confidence! Zhang Yang! Moreover, it was magnificent!
Was this still the concubine he knew?

It's time for the competition, asking for an olive branch! There was still one more match in the evening.
Although most readers know, the source of the olive branch is still repeated: there are those who consume more than 100 copper coins last month, who can see the olive branch on the "secret" home page, who can see it by clicking on the "store of props" when they go in, and those who give a reward of 1000 copper coins, who also have an invincible branch and come to the account immediately.
