Chapter 201: Selling Your Body to Bury Your Father
When you come and go to the opening of the restaurant, Lin Yuelan planned to officially open the restaurant when the vegetables in the greenhouse could be picked, and to make the restaurant design, the reputation of the restaurant and the reputation of the greenhouse vegetables. Le-Wen-
The opening of the restaurant is ready.
But the only thing that made Lin Yuelan frown was that the shopkeeper of this restaurant had not been found yet.
Before, Zhou Wen had introduced two or three, but Lin Yuelan was not very satisfied.
Because these people are either too old or have a bit of self-contained thoughts and are not willing to make progress and change.
This is absolutely undesirable for the restaurant to be exhibited.
On that day, Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan were walking on the streets.
Jiang Zhennan was originally a dull man. He was usually stupid and could not say anything, so now he has been walking around the streets with Lin Yuelan in a tacit way.
As they walked, they saw a large group of people surrounding the corner of the wall. Some people were still talking in the crowd. Some people felt sorry, some were pitiful, and some were even more gloating. In short, the target of them seemed to be only one person.
"Oh, it's a pity for this scholar Zhang. I heard that he was the most likely to pass the imperial examination, but I didn't expect that he would have such a thing, and he, a scholar, would do something to sell his body and bury him."
"Tsk, whoever says he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination. Have you never heard of it? A scholar with a hundred people is rare to pass the imperial examination. Who can guarantee that scholar with a hundred people can pass the imperial examination?"
"No matter how much Zhang Xiucai won't be elected, he has been removed from the Zhang family now. In this generation, he will not be able to go on a career in the officialdom."
"Oh, that's right. This scholar Zhang is really pitiful. As soon as his father left, his body was still warm. Before the first seventh year passed, he was removed from the Zhang family. Not to mention continuing to study, he had to sell his father to bury him for burial. But,"
Speaking of this, the man shook his head and said, "It would be better if he was a woman. He could be bought back by those wealthy families as a concubine or slave. However, selling himself is not a dead contract, and he has to spend about ten or two high prices. I'm afraid few people are willing!"
"Haha, it seems that this scholar Zhang can only make a living by begging!" He clearly felt gloating in this.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan squeezed into the crowd. When they saw a young man in his twenties and a scholar in the corner, he had a sign in front of him, saying: Ten taels of silver, sell himself to bury his father!
In front of him, there was a body wrapped in a straw mat.
Because the weather is cold, it is not obvious that the corpse has anger.
Lin Yuelan stood in front of her and took a look.
This scholar's eyes encountered such a major change, but he did not become numb, or blamed others for their own worries, or even gave up all misfortunes to innocent people.
Although there was a strong anger and reluctance in his eyes, there were more sorrow and sadness of losing his loved ones.
In the cold weather, I knelt on the ground with my legs and clenched my fists, but because of the cold weather, I was frozen to the point of purple and black, but I still didn't lose the idea of selling myself to bury my father.
Lin Yuelan lowered her eyebrows and looked down. After thinking for a while, a crisp and tender voice rang among the group. She asked, "What if you let you abandon your article and go to business?"
She didn't say she bought it, nor did she say she didn't want to buy it, but she just said she was straight to the point.
When Zhang Xiucai heard a sudden loud voice, he was slightly stunned. He then reacted and said politely and politely, "I am willing to obey all the arrangements of the master!"
This is telling Lin Yuelan that as long as you buy him, you can ask him to be a slave or go to business.
Lin Yuelan pointed slightly, "Yes."
Then she took out twenty taels of silver and said to Zhang Xiucai, "Hey, this is twenty taels of silver. You can arrange your father's funeral and handle other things first, and then come to you and me to report to the restaurant!"
The moment Lin Yuelan took out the silver, she was amazed at the audience around her.
This person sold his body clearly and clearly priced at ten taels, but she took out twenty taels. The most important thing is that she took out twenty taels casually, and where did she get rich daughters from?
Just as I heard that people came and reported to the restaurant, I was even more surprised.
This restaurant was born out of nowhere, and the sons of Zhou County Magistrate's family frequently come and go, and sometimes they can see the shadow of Zhou County Magistrate. Therefore, anyone can guess that this restaurant must have a very shallow relationship with Zhou County Magistrate's family.
The reason why Zhang Xiucai knelt here for most of the day and no one dared to buy ten taels of silver is that he is a man, and he is more importantly because he is concerned about the Zhang family.
The Zhang family is one of the three major families in Anding County. Buying Zhang Xiucai is equivalent to offending the Zhang family. Therefore, no one will take this risk.
However, the child who came out of nowhere bought it and bought it at 20 taels, which was an offense to the Zhang family.
However, as soon as this person reported that you came and went to the restaurant, everyone stopped talking.
Now everyone knows that you come and go to the backstage of the restaurant. It is the Zhou County Magistrate of Zhou's family, and even if you offend the Zhang family, you will not be afraid.
Zhang Xiucai took the two silver ingots and looked at Lin Yuelan with gratitude, hope, and sourness, determination and other emotions intertwined.
With gratitude and tears in the corner of his eyes, he said to Lin Yuelan, "Thank you, thank you!" Then, he said firmly, "Master, don't worry, after the servant handles his father's funeral and personal affairs, he will definitely come to you and report to the restaurant in three days!"
As he said that, he handed over the contract of selling himself in his hand to Lin Yuelan.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuelan did not take it, but shook her head and said, "No,"
When Lin Yuelan shook her head and said "No", she made Zhang Xiucai's heart skip, and she was particularly nervous and uneasy.
Lin Yuelan continued, "Zhang Xiucai, I did not buy you as a slave, but gave you the advance wage."
Prepaid wages? So much?
Whether it was Zhang Xiucai himself or the crowd watching the excitement around him, he was confused and confused.
What wages should I pay in advance? What exactly did Xiucai Zhang do when he came to the restaurant?
Lin Yuelan did not explain too much. She said, "In three days, you will know when you arrive at the restaurant!"
After saying that, she and Jiang Zhennan left here.
He did not accept the contract, did not take other restrictive actions, nor did he be afraid that Xiucai would run away with the money.
This surprised the people around him again.
I was sure that this child was so stupid. He gave all the money and had no contract or action. Who would have been so stupid to come to the door to be a slave?
Lin Yuelan did not care what others thought, she did.
When she and Jiang Zhennan walked out of the place and came to a street, a young man in the shape of a servant stood in front of them, and said to the two with a bad expression, "Two, my master is welcome!"
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 eyebrows, and a smile pursed at the corner of her mouth. She asked in confusion, "Your master is invited? Who is your master? Do I know you? Brother Nan, or do you know?" Lin Yuelan turned her head and asked Jiang Zhennan in confusion and curiosity.
Jiang Zhennan was very involved in Lin Yuelan, shook his head and said, "I don't know any master or young master either?"
Lin Yuelan tilted her head and said in confusion, "You don't know, I don't know, that's strange. Who is the sacred master who suddenly appears? Hey, who is your master?" In short, Lin Yuelan pretended to be confused.
The servant said proudly, "Hmph, my master is the Zhang family, one of the three major families in Anding County, Master Zhang Xingwang!" The Zhang family is one of the three major families in Anding County, and as a slave, he also has a proud capital.
Lin Yuelan nodded immediately and said, "Oh, it turns out that your master is the old man of the Zhang family."
The servant still had his nostrils facing the sky, and he hummed at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, very disdain and contempt, as if they could be as great as the so-called Mr. Zhang.
But then, his face turned pale.
"But, is your family one of the three major families? Is your master Zhang? What does it have to do with me?" Lin Yuelan said with sarcasm and mocking, "He said that if he wants to see us, we have to go to see him happily? Tsk tsk, go and reply to your master Zhang, just say that I, Lin Yuelan, is not available. When I am free, I will go to meet Mr. Zhang, one of his three major families!"
After hearing this, the servant was so angry that his face turned pale.
He pointed at Lin Yuelan angrily and shouted, "You...you are too presumptuous! Do you know what the consequences will be if you offend my master?"
Lin Yuelan sneered, "Haha, what kind of consequences, I, Lin Yuelan, continue! Brother Nan, let's go!"
Looking at their backs away, the servant was so angry that he stamped his feet. In the end, he could only run to Zhang's mansion with a momentum and report to Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Mansion
A middle-aged and elderly man with beard and dressed in silk and satin heard the servant's report and his face turned pale and his eyes were gloomy. He asked sternly, "Did she really say that? Are you really sure she is only twelve or thirteen years old?"
The servant said with anger and ignorant look on his face, "She really said that. She said, Hum, who is that Mr. Zhang? Do I know him? If you want me to go to him, okay, wait until I have time to say it. Hum, Master, listen, she is a slut, you don't take Master seriously. Master, we must teach her a lesson, otherwise, Zhang Yuanbin may escape from your palm, Master!"
Zhang Yuanbin is the one who sold himself to bury his father.
"Master, you finally got back to the position of the head of the Zhang family. You can't let you sit down in this position because of this accident!"
Even if this servant didn't remind him, Zhang Xingwang would never let any accidents happen, especially letting Zhang Yuanbin escape from his palm.
He immediately ordered the servant to say, "You go and give a message to the magistrate Zhou County, and just say that I, Zhang Xingwang, want to visit him!"
