Chapter 211： sell one's body to bury his father

You come to me for the opening of the restaurant, Lin Yuelan intends to officially open the restaurant when the vegetables in the good greenhouse can be picked, and the restaurant design, the reputation of the restaurant and the reputation of the greenhouse vegetables are shot out.

You come to me to go to the opening of the restaurant is ready.

But the only thing that made Lin Yuelan frown was that the shopkeeper of the restaurant had not yet been found.

Before, Zhou Wen only introduced two or three over, but Lin Yuelan was not too satisfied.

Because these people are either too old, or they are somewhat stagnant in their thinking, and are not willing to make progress and change.

This is absolutely necessary for a restaurant to develop.

On this day, Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan were walking on the street.

Jiang Zhennan was originally a dull man. He was usually stupid and wouldn't say anything, so now he has been quietly accompanying Lin Yuelan on this street.

As they walked, they saw a large group of people around the corner of the wall in front of them, and some conversational voices could be heard in the crowd. Just one person.

"Hey, it's a pity for Zhang Xiucai. I heard that he was the most likely to be selected, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and let him be a scholar to sell his body for burial."

"Che, who said he would definitely win. Haven't you heard of it? It's rare for one hundred talents to win. Who can guarantee that Zhang Xiucai will win?"

"Regardless of whether Zhang Xiu can be selected or not, he is now expelled from the Zhang family. In this generation, he will no longer want to pursue an official career."

"Oh, that's true. Zhang Xuecai is really pitiful. As soon as this father left, his body was still warm. Before the first seven passes, he was expelled from the Zhang family. Not to mention continuing to study, it was his father's funeral expenses. , but also sell his body to bury his father for burial. It's just, "

Having said this, the man shook his head and said, "It would be better if he was a woman, and he could be bought back by those big families to be a concubine or a slave, but he is not a dead contract to sell his body, and it will cost ten more. Come for two high prices, tsk tsk, I am afraid that few people are willing!"

"Hehe, it seems that this scholar can only make a living by begging!" Saying this, there is obviously a feeling of gloating in it.

Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan squeezed into the crowd and saw a young man in his twenties who looked like a scholar in the corner. A sign was erected in front of him, which read: Twelve taels of silver, sell your body to bury your father!

In front of him, there was a corpse wrapped in a straw mat.

Because of the cold weather, it was not obvious that the corpse exuded a bad smell.

Lin Yuelan stood in front of her and took a look.

In the eyes of this scholar, he encountered such a major change, but he did not become insensitive because of it, or complained about himself, or vented all his misfortunes on innocent people.

Although there was strong anger and unwillingness in his eyes, more of it was the grief and sadness of the loss of a loved one.

In the cold weather, he knelt on the ground with his legs and clenched his fists with both hands, but because of the cold weather, he was frozen purple and black, but he still did not lose the idea of ​​selling his body and burying his father.

Lin Yuelan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. After thinking for a while, a crisp and tender voice sounded in the group. She asked, "What if you were asked to quit writing and go into business?"

She didn't say to buy it, nor did she say not to buy it, she just said straight to the point and stated the purpose.

Hearing the sudden voice of a child, Zhang Xiucai was slightly taken aback, and then he reacted, and said politely, neither humble nor arrogant, "I am willing to obey all arrangements of the master!"

This is telling Lin Yuelan that as long as he buys him, he can be a slave or a businessman.

Lin Yuelan nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Immediately, she took out twenty taels of silver and said to Zhang Xiucai, "Hey, this is twenty taels of silver, you first arrange your father's funeral and other matters, and then come to the restaurant to report to you! "

The moment Lin Yuelan took out the money, she surprised the surrounding onlookers.

The price of this person selling her body is obviously 10 taels, but she took out 20 taels. The most important thing is that she took out 20 taels casually as a child. Where did this rich family's daughter come from?

I was even more surprised when I heard that people would go to the restaurant to report on you and me.

This restaurant was born out of nowhere, and the sons of the county magistrate's family came and went frequently, and sometimes they could see the shadow of the magistrate Zhou, so anyone could guess that this restaurant must have a shallow relationship with the county magistrate's family.

The reason why Zhang Xiucai knelt here for a long time, no one dared to buy ten taels of silver, besides he was a man, the more important thing was that he was worried about the Zhang family.

The Zhang family is one of the three major families in Anding County. Buying Zhang Xiucai would offend the Zhang family. Therefore, no one would take this risk.

However, the child who appeared out of nowhere bought twenty taels at random, which was offending the Zhang family.

However, after this person reported that you came to the restaurant, everyone was silent.

Now everyone knows that you come to the backstage of the restaurant, you are the county magistrate of the Zhou family, even if you offend the Zhang family, you are not afraid.

Zhang Xiucai took the two silver ingots and looked at Lin Yuelan with a look of gratitude and hope, as well as sourness, determination and other emotions intertwined.

With gratitude and tears in the corners of his eyes, he said to Lin Yuelan, "Thank you, thank you!" Then, he said firmly, "Master, don't worry, after the servant dealt with my father's funeral and personal affairs, three days later, I will definitely come to you and report to the restaurant!"

After speaking, he handed over the contract of selling himself written down to Lin Yuelan.

Who knows, Lin Yuelan didn't take it, just shook her head and said, "No,"

When Lin Yuelan shook her head and said "no", Zhang Xiucai made a "squeak" in her heart, making her extremely nervous and uneasy.

Lin Yuelan continued, "Zhang Xiucai, this girl didn't buy you as a slave, but gave you prepaid wages."

Prepaid wages? so much?

Whether it was Zhang Xiucai himself or the crowd watching the excitement, they all heard it in a cloudy and foggy way, and they were a little unclear.

What wages are paid in advance? What is Zhang Xiucai doing when you come to the restaurant?

Lin Yuelan didn't explain too much, she said, "After three days, you will know when you arrive at the restaurant!"

After speaking, she and Jiang Zhennan left here.

He did not accept the contract, nor did he do any other restrictive actions, and he was not afraid that Zhang Xiucai would escape with the silver.

This surprised the people around him once again.

In my heart, I was sure that this child was really stupid. All the money was given, and there was no contract and no action. Who would come to the door to be a slave so stupidly.

Lin Yuelan did it regardless of what others thought.

When she and Jiang Zhennan walked out of the place and came to a street entrance, a young man dressed as a servant stood in front of them and said to the two with a bad expression, "Two, my master is invited!"

I heard that they bought Zhang Yuanbin, and as soon as they heard the news, the Zhang family sent someone to stop them.

Lin Yuelan raised her brows, her mouth pursed into a smile that was not a smile, she asked suspiciously, "Is your master invited? Who is your master, do I know him? Big Brother Nan, or do you know him? "Lin Yuelan turned her head and asked Jiang Zhennan in confusion and curiosity.

Jiang Zhennan cooperated with Lin Yuelan very much, shook his head and said, "I don't know any masters and young masters?"

Lin Yuelan tilted her head and said suspiciously, "You don't know me, I don't know, this is strange, who is this master who suddenly appeared? Hey, who is your master? ?" In short, Lin Yuelan was just pretending to be confused.

The little servant said proudly, with his nostrils facing the sky, "Hmph, my master is the Zhang family, one of the three major families in Anding County, Master Zhang Xingwang!" Capital.

Lin Yuelan nodded immediately and said, "Oh, so your master is the master of the Zhang family."

This little servant still had his nostrils upside-down, and hummed at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan with disdain and contempt, as if it was a great honor for them to compete with the so-called Master Zhang.

But, immediately, his face turned ashen.

"However, is your family one of the three major families, and is your master Zhang, what does it have to do with me?" Lin Yuelan said with sarcasm and mockery at the corner of her mouth, "He said that if he wants to see us, we have to do it. Why don't you go to see him? Tsk tsk, go and reply to your master Zhang, just say that I, Lin Yuelan, are not available, and when I have time, I will go to see his master Zhang, one of the three major families!"

When the little servant heard this, his face was ashen with anger.

He pointed at Lin Yuelan angrily and shouted angrily, "You...you are too presumptuous! Do you know what the consequences of offending my master will be?"

Lin Yuelan said with a "sneer", "Haha, what kind of consequences, I, Lin Yuelan, will follow! Big Brother Nan, let's go!"

Seeing their retreating backs, this little servant stomped his feet in anger. In the end, he had no choice but to run to Zhang's house in a rush to report to that old master.

Zhangfu

A middle-aged and elderly man with a beard and silk satin on his face heard the little servant's report, his face was blue, and the look in his eyes was dark and unclear, he asked sharply, "Did she really say that? Are you really sure that she Twelve or thirteen years old?"

The little servant said angrily, "She really said that. She said, hmph, who is that Master Zhang, do I know? You want me to go to him, that's ok, I'll be free someday. Besides. Hmph, sir, listen, she is a **** who doesn't take you seriously. Sir, we must teach her a lesson, otherwise, Zhang Yuanbin may escape from your palm, sir. !"

Zhang Yuanbin is the Zhang Xiucai who sold his body to bury his father.

"Master, you managed to get back the position of the head of the Zhang family, but you can't make any mistakes because of this accident!"

Even if the servant didn't remind him, Zhang Xingwang would never let any accident happen, especially let Zhang Yuanbin escape from his palm.

He immediately instructed the servant to say, "You go to the county magistrate Zhou, and say that I, Zhang Xingwang, want to visit him!"
