Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 162
Afterwards, Chen Yunfang visited Wen's house under the guise of visiting Mr. Wen, but Mr. Wen was busy during the day and studied at night.

Even though Mrs. Wen was the only one working in the backyard of the Wen family, how could Wen's house be strictly guarded inside and outside, and Chen Yunfang couldn't touch the door of the backyard for no reason.Mrs. Qi also followed him twice. Mrs. Wen was still very enthusiastic, but she always had too much work to do. Mrs. Qi was too embarrassed to help, but she was caught by Mrs. Wen every time.

After returning home, my back was sore and tired, but I couldn't even see Manman's face.

It was convenient for Chen Yun to know that he was played by Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen.However, Mr. Wen and his wife did not explicitly say that they were not welcome, and they always fulfilled their duties and treated each other with courtesy. No matter how dissatisfied Chen Yunfang was, he couldn't find fault.

He had a wrong idea again.

Didn't you, Su Manman, hide in the mouse hole and act like a turtle with a shrunken head, not daring to meet the third master?Okay, I can't move your hard shell, I can't cut off your head, shall I lead you out of the hole assembly?
I don't believe it, without the Wen family, what ability do you have to fight with me!
So after a few days of silence, Chen Yun conveniently stopped bothering Mr. Wen. Instead, he brought a group of people early in the morning, took things aggressively, and went straight to Yishengju on the street.

Looking at the signboard with gold letters on a black background, Chen Yunfang showed a smug smile.He thought to himself: Su Manman, your leisurely life is over, even if you have great patience and refuse to come out under the protection of the Wen family, I will definitely let your money go to waste.

Manman is indeed not at Wen's house.She had expected that Chen Yunfang would go. Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen were not easy to bully, and they might not let him run rampant like in the Chen family, but Manman still didn't want to have anything to do with him and the Qi family.

Some people are very vicious, and people feel fear and avoidance at the first glance, while some people are very friendly, but they are boring from the bottom of their hearts.The former was like Chen Yunfang, every word he said made Manman's ears shudder.The latter is like Qi Shi, who always looks like a weak little white flower, with first-class ability to cling to people, and first-class ability to show weakness. asphyxia.

Therefore, Manman only left Si Ling and Si Long in Wen's house as a cover, while she herself moved to the backyard of Yishengju.

It's not the safest place either.Manman understands that Chen Yunfang will call sooner or later, so she has not been idle since she moved in.

Chen Yunfang's delay was long enough, Manman thought sarcastically, he really overestimated him, he wasn't that crazy.

In fact, it wasn't that Chen Yunfang couldn't spare time, but Mrs. Wen's skill in fooling the Qi family was too superb. Chen Yunfang was 12 sure that Manman was hiding in Wen's house.

According to what the world thinks, Sumanman is not big after all, how dare a single girl hide outside alone?
Because of this, Chen Yunfang came up with the idea of ​​Yishengju after seeing that Wen's family was a monolith, water and fire couldn't get in.

When Chen Yunfang led his people into Yishengju, Chen Yunfang was quite surprised by the deserted store.But in an instant, they were relieved again. Chen Yun is just a nerd, and Su Manman is a weak woman who doesn't understand world affairs. What kind of prosperous business can they make?

That's good, don't bother him.

Chen Yunfang walked around the store in a big way, thinking: The facade is not small, and it is neat and clean, but it looks bleak, as if it has been washed by the autumn wind.There weren't many snacks, so he opened the basket covered with white cloth to have a look. It didn't look very good, and there was a faint musty smell that had been left for a long time.

At first glance, the business is not good. These snacks have been sold for a few days.

Fortunately, it will be autumn. If it is midsummer, it might have grown green hair long ago.

The originally listless boy saw Chen Yunfang coming in, and saw that he was well-dressed, with a little joy on his face, but when he saw that the dozen or so people behind him clearly had a look of provoking trouble, his expression darkened.

He cleverly and hurriedly excused himself to go out, and in the end only a stupid-looking boy was left.

Chen Yunfang stood in front of him and asked, "Where's your shopkeeper?"

The boy shook his head.

Chen Yunfang glanced around, and someone immediately pulled a chair for him, helping him to sit comfortably.Chen Yunfang crossed his legs, brushed off the non-existent dust, and said, "Call you out of the office."

The little guy asked stupidly: "Steward, what is the steward? My lord, do you want to sell our shop?"

Chen Yunfang froze, and said, "Why, is your store going to sell out?"

The little guy shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you have no such plan, my lord, well, forget it, I think I will go too, instead of guarding this mess here, it's better to go out and find some work, otherwise you will lose your life." Everyone is going to drink the northwest wind."

He actually made a gesture to leave, leaving Chen Yunfang here.

Chen Yunfang chuckled twice, and thought to himself, are you going to play tricks with your master?When I am afraid of you?

Throwing a small piece of scattered silver over casually, he said condescendingly: "Isn't it just for money? Are these enough?"

The little boy's eyes suddenly lit up, he stretched out his hand to grab the silver, his attitude changed 180 degrees immediately, he nodded and bowed and said: "Enough is enough, I don't know what the young master wants to ask?"

Chen Yunfang asked: "How long has this store been open? Has the business been so deserted? Who is your shopkeeper? How much does he plan to invest in this store?"

The little guy’s mind is not very clear, and his answer is a bit confused: “Has it been open for more than a year? I don’t know the details, but the small one is actually a handyman. It’s just because the business has been sluggish recently, and many guys have left. No way, Mr. Accountant brought me here. You have also seen, my lord, that from opening in the morning to closing in the evening, there are only a handful of people who come in to buy snacks, and the terrain is not bad, otherwise the The shop can't sell it even if it wants to, if you don't take this opportunity to get the shop out quickly, the shopkeeper will have to lose money... As for the small shopkeeper, how much money does the shop have to sell? I didn’t even ask about it, so it’s going to cost 80 taels of silver..."

Someone behind Chen Yunfang sighed, and his personal servant Bai Zhi interjected directly: "It's only 80 taels? This is... too cheap." Not to mention the guys in this shop, just this A few houses are worth this amount, plus the terrain and land, there are no thousand 800 taels.

Is the shopkeeper mentally ill?If you don't do business, just rent out this shop, it costs more than 80 taels a year.

Chen Yunfang glared at Bai Zhi, and said: "It's you and..." He pouted almost imperceptibly, and Bai Zhi suddenly realized.

This guy looked poor and used to it, and he had never seen much money. To him, a hundred and eighty taels was already a sky-high price. How could he really understand how much this shop was worth?

After cross-examination for a long time, this young man is quite able to talk eloquently, but there is nothing to say, which is almost the same as asking three questions.

Chen Yunfang wanted to find the boss, but he said he didn't know. He was looking for the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper wasn't there. He was looking for the accountant. I asked the shopkeeper for leave, but I didn’t come for 25 or [-] days a month, and I heard that I went to work as an accountant in a restaurant in the next street.”

Chen Yunfang squinted his eyes and listened for a while, then glanced at the backyard, and asked, "What is this backyard for?"

The little guy was talking about being excited, but when Chen Yunfang interrupted him, he choked and coughed for a while before he stopped, then he glanced at the backyard, leaned closer to Chen Yunfang, and whispered: "Well, that's okay. Well said..."

The little guy probably didn't take a bath very often, and when he got close, he had a strange smell on his body.That's not to mention, he has big yellow teeth, he is far away, saliva splashes everywhere, Chen Yunfang is already disgusted, and he can't hear it now, now that he is approaching, Huo, the taste in his mouth What a rush.

Bai Zhi stepped forward and pushed, said: "Speak as you speak, what are you sneaking forward to make do with?"

The boy was not on his guard, he staggered after being pushed, and took a few steps back, but he still couldn't stop, and fell down with a bang.He quit, raised his voice and screamed, "Why are you beating someone?"

Bai Zhi wanted to speak, but Chen Yunfang stopped him.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and then four tolerance officers came in and shouted sharply: "Who is gathering a crowd here to make trouble? No one in the room is allowed to move, lock it up and take it away."

Bai Zhi stood in front of Chen Yunfang, and said: "Master, we are regular customers here, if we talk to the clerk, it's not a disturbance, it's just a joke, a joke."

What a joke, going to the government for such a trivial matter?It was said that everyone lost their hair.

The leading official is about 30 years old, of medium build, with a red face, and a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes exuding radiance.He looked at Bai Zhi from top to bottom, then fell on Chen Yunfang who was sitting steadily, and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are a regular customer or not, and it doesn't matter whether you are joking or not, in short, my lord has an order to call this Yi Sheng. Lock everyone up."

Bai Zhi turned around and glanced at Chen Yunfang.

Chen Yunfang stood up as if nothing had happened, bowed his hands to the official, and said, "May I ask what crime this Yi Shengju committed?"

The official said: "Arrears of taxes, why, you want to do things for this Yishengju?"

Chen Yunfang was taken aback by the question.

The officer immediately changed his attitude and said: "If you are willing to pay the money, it will be much easier. Anyway, we are not here to arrest people."

They want silver.If no money is given, everyone will be locked away, no matter who it is.If you are willing to give money, then there is some discussion.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, no matter how arrogant Chen Yunfang was at home, he would not dare to confront the officials, not to mention that he was not familiar with the place here.

He was also just slightly startled, and said: "You are joking, I am not related to the owner of this shop, so I will not be able to pay the tax for him."

The officer spat and said, "Then stop talking nonsense and take it away."

"Don't—" Chen Yunfang stopped lightly, stretched out his hand and patted the official's shoulder, and said, "If you want to take me away, you can do it, but you have to make your words clear. Dare I ask the owner of Yishengju what's his name?"

The officer looked Chen Yunfang up and down and said: "You have a lot of things. Since you are not relatives or relatives, why are you asking so carefully?"

Chen Yun conveniently took a step back and said, "Brother, please take a step to speak."

The official ordered others to lock up all the idlers in the house, and then followed Chen Yunfang to the side and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Chen Yunfang said: "To be honest, I'm not a regular customer of this store either. To tell you the truth, I'm here to find someone. My younger brother is not at home, and there is only one daughter-in-law. I heard that the couple opened several stores. , I have to figure it out, don’t I?”

The official winked and said with a smile: "Your brother's shop is not yours. How many shops do you have, what kind of business you do, good or bad, and where does it matter to you?"

Chen Yunfang said impatiently: "Father's order is hard to disobey, and I can't do anything about it. My younger brother is disobedient, and it's all because of that woman's instigation. I am also... ah, hahahaha."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and the official said: "I don't know if this Yishengju belongs to your brother's house or not, I only know that the title deed of this shop says..."

He thought for a while, patted his forehead, and said, "It seems to be Hu... yes, it's Hu."

Chen Yunfang didn't go out. When he got up early in the morning, he asked someone to grind ink and lay out paper, intending to take up a pen and write a letter to his family, reporting his recent actions and the news he had inquired to his father.

Before he finished writing, Bai Zhi, a close servant, reported outside: "Third Master, the uncle has arrived."

"Ah? Brother?" Chen Yunfang thought, is this Baizhi hysterical?It's so far away, what's the big brother doing here?He was dazed for a while, and then he heard Bai Zhi urge him: "The uncle is in Liu Ye's study right now, waiting for you to come over."

cut.Chen Yunfang grumbled, the elder brother is the elder brother, he is more ostentatious than others, he first occupied Xiao Liu'er's study when he came, he really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.Not to mention coming to see him, he insisted on pretending to be big cloves of garlic and let himself go to see him.

Just a few steps, can he be exhausted?

Chen Yunfang was unhappy, so he muttered, and the girl who served him got kicked a few times.After changing his clothes, he hurried to see Chen Yun.

Bai Zhi whispered at the side: "Third Master, I don't look very good looking at Grandpa, is it Master..."

"What's wrong with the master? I acted according to the master's orders. What is good or bad has anything to do with the master? If you think I'm not doing well, don't call me here." Chen Yunfang was sullen when he mentioned this.The old man is eccentric, admiring the big ones, pampering the young ones, he is the only third master who can't be bothered, he is a master who doesn't love his mother or his father.

He glared at Bai Zhi, and said: "If you want to cuddle with me like a cricket, why don't you go and find out what's going on at home."

Bai Zhi responded, and said: "Yes, what the third master said is true, the little one will go now."

Chen Yun hadn't even washed and washed. Although he had traveled a long distance, he didn't seem very tired and tired.He described him as handsome, and with several years of experience, his demeanor became more mature and steady, making it easy for people to feel trust and respect.

But Chen Yunfang only pouted secretly.He just doesn't like the dignified look of his elder brother, he always puts on airs when he has nothing to do, which makes people annoying.

At that moment, the two greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries. Chen Yun took the first seat, and Chen Yun just like when he was at home.

Chen Yun took out a letter, pushed it over and said, "This is a letter from your father."

Chen Yunfang looked up at Chen Yunfang.Nothing could be discerned from his face.I don't know where Bai Zhi got it, but it seems that the eldest brother looks bad.

Chen Yunfang picked up the letter and said with a smile: "Father is really worried about me, isn't it just such a small matter? It's all right to write a letter for guidance and advice, and let the elder brother go for a trip, do you want to take me away?" Change it back?"

Chen Yun slowly sipped his tea, put down the tea bowl lightly, and said, "You read the letter first before talking about it."

After Chen Yunfang read the family letter at a glance, his face flushed with anger, and he said, "This... this... this is a false accusation. How could dad trust that woman's words?"

Chen Yun's eyes turned sharp, and he said, "Do you believe it? If Dad really believed it, there would be no need to write this letter at all, and there would be no need for me to make this trip."

Chen Yunfang pursed his lips, and said, "That's not the case at all, Dad and you just like to make a fuss out of a molehill."

"Really?" Chen Yun knows this third brother too well, and loves to quibble, even if you really caught his pigtails, he still has the ability to turn black and white, not to mention it has been so long, there is evidence Also told him to deal with it.

Chen Yun looked around, and asked Chen Yunfang, "Where are the people from the Su family?"

Anyway, he is the eldest brother, he has come here, why didn't the Su family send someone to ask him?

Chen Yunfang immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Brother, if you don't ask, I still have to tell you. How can you say that there is such a person who leaves his own house to live in a bad way, and his third brother and third sister-in-law don't take care of him properly. She even said that she would go back to her natal home. Su Manman falsely claimed that she was sick, and within two days of my coming, she found a reason to take the family and left without a trace... I went to visit Mr. Wen at the door, and fell down ten times. There were nine times when he wasn't there, and he just left me alone in the guest room for a whole day. I asked Qi Shi to visit the doctor, but I was sent around as a girl again and again, and I didn't even see her face ..."

Chen Yun was not indignant at all.As far as what Chen Yunfang did, no one should relocate his family.

He just looked at Chen Yunfang with a half-smile and said: "I can't blame her for this, maybe she has to spread it around. It's you, the third brother, who forced her to have nowhere to go, and instead let you occupy the magpie's nest." It's over."

Chen Yunfang sneered: "I don't care. This broken yard is like a pigeon cage. I can't move around. How can I have a comfortable cool and cool house. Just right, since Dad asked you to come, I will take people back tomorrow." .”

He also played with his temper and quit, as if it was an honor to do what he did.

Chen Yun did not argue with him, but said: "What do you want to do, what do you want to do, I believe my father has explained it clearly to you in the letter, as for what you plan, I will not interfere. I will only stay here for a few days God, let's go when we're done."

Chen Yunfang rolled his eyes, and said: "Big brother is a big brother, and he has arrogance when he comes out. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. The situation in Xiaoliu's family should indeed be rectified by the elder brother."
