The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 108 Friends
After listening to Ziyang's narration, the old master sighed softly: "Ziyang, I can't blame others for this matter. It's because you have too many desires that you chose the wrong path."

Ziyang felt sad, and now he understood that Akuan could not be blamed for this matter, but the matter had reached this point, and he really didn't want to implicate more people.

Just as he was about to mention leaving again, the girl's gentle and sweet voice came from outside: "Father, brother Ziyang, you can eat, there are still some orders to be made today, and the elder brother has already gone to find materials."

Ziyang swallowed back the words he was about to say, and helped the master out of the room.

When Ah Kuan woke up, seeing that Ziyang was not there, he got up to wash up, and left the room with the recommendation letter he wrote last night.

Just happened to meet three people in the courtyard, the girl shyly bowed down to Ah Kuan, turned around and went to the kitchen.

Ah Kuan greeted the old master, took Ziyang to the side, and stuffed the letter into his hand.

"I know that I caused you some trouble yesterday. You take this letter to the shopkeeper Zhao of Xie Jiahengtong Trading Company. When I was working with Uncle Xie, I met him once. He is a very good person. Those who read the letter will take care of this workshop.”

Ziyang accepted the letter, thanked Ah Kuan for his kindness, and then sighed softly: "That's good, after I leave, I don't have to worry about the old master's family being unable to survive."

"Go, why did you leave." Ah Kuan was very puzzled, "Could it be because of that bastard Tianlu, please tell me clearly, what kind of intersection you have with him."

Ziyang was a little annoyed, and obviously didn't want to continue this topic.

"Don't ask any more. I'm different from you. You have a master to back you up even after you left the Xie family. I have nothing. I thought I could gain a firm foothold in Qiyue Town, but now I have to start all over again. I If you don’t leave, many people will be implicated, what can I do.”

The more Ah Kuan listened, the more confused he became. Could it be because he offended Tian Lu yesterday and forced his friend to go out to avoid disaster?

He is a gangster wandering on the street, but he has gained a little bit of fame from Xie's family. How can he have such a lot of energy, his honest friend, he must not be deceived by others.

"Ziyang, please be sober. That day Lu is just a child that the Xie family took care of with occasional kindness. It can be said that it has nothing to do with the Xie family. No matter what he promised you, it cannot be true. Thank you in the city. The family also raised such a beggar, but it was just a boy who helped run errands and spread the word, why should you be manipulated by him."

"Qiyue Town is Qiyue Town, and the capital is the capital city. The two are not the same. You don't live here, and you don't know the rules here. I beg you, don't ask any more."

After speaking, he shook off Ah Kuan, and took the letter to find the old master.

Whether to leave or stay is Ziyang's decision, Ah Kuan shouldn't interfere, but he always feels that this matter is mostly related to him, and he can't just walk away and go after Ziyang.

Breakfast has been set up in the room. Although the meal is simple, everyone who eats at the table, whether adults or children, are very polite.

Ziyang wanted to hand over the letter to the master, so he packed up his things and left. Thinking of what Tianlu threatened him yesterday, he was afraid that a group of people would suddenly break in and hurt those around him.

As soon as he stepped into the room, the master chef motioned him to sit down and eat, but he was stopped several times when he wanted to speak.

The phrase "Don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep" made him shut up and eat obediently.

How could Ziyang, who had a lump in his throat, be able to eat, drank a few mouthfuls of porridge indiscriminately, and waited for the people who had had breakfast to leave.

He took out the letter and handed it to the master, and gave some instructions. The master only smiled and nodded, but did not accept the letter. Knowing that it was Ah Kuan's kindness, he expressed his gratitude.

After finishing the business, Ziyang wanted to mention the matter of leaving again, but was interrupted by the master.

He stood up and patted Ziyang on the shoulder: "The weather is fine today, you can accompany me to meet my old friend." Without waiting for Ziyang to answer, he said to Ah Kuan who was beside him.

"I heard from Ziyang that you came here this time to buy things for the master. It just so happens that my old friend owns a grocery store. You might as well go and have a look, maybe you will gain something."

Ah Kuan got up and thanked him, since everyone was here, he might as well take Ziyang and the others to meet shopkeeper Zhao himself.

Ziyang had no choice but to rely on the old master, and the three of them drove the donkey cart out, and did not go to the street where shops were crowded in Qiyue Town.

Following the small road on the outskirts of the city, I detoured most of the town, and went to another house where workshops gathered together and poor people lived together.

He turned around and came to the gate of a courtyard. This courtyard looked very ordinary at first glance, but it was more grand than the houses next to it.

Ziyang helped the master get out of the donkey cart. The master carefully arranged his clothes and tried his best to straighten his bent body.

Walking to the door, he was stunned for more than ten seconds before raising his slightly trembling hand and knocking on the copper ring on the door.

After a while, a crisp child's voice came from the courtyard: "Wait, this is it."

The old master responded, pulled the two of them back a few steps, and waited quietly for the door to open.

There was a "squeak" sound, and the vermilion wooden door opened a crack. The eccentric little boy poked his head out, looked at the three of them curiously, and asked crisply, "Who are you looking for?"

The old master took out a wooden sign from his pocket and handed it forward with both hands.

"I'm here to see Mr. Li. If you present this, you'll know who I am."

The little boy took the wooden sign with a nod, and pointed to the stone bench by the door: "If that's the case, you can wait, sir, I'm going out, I'll ask my elder sister to take a look, and then I'll invite you in."

Ah Kuan looked at the huanghuali wood sign in a daze, always felt that he had seen it there before, and the patterns on it were very familiar, until the boy closed the door, he didn't look back.

The three of them were resting on the stone bench in front of the door, and Ah Kuan looked at the surrounding environment. There was also a sign hanging by the door, the pattern on it was very similar to that of the old master.

Suddenly, I remembered that the very secret seal on the portrait of the saint who was widely circulated before seemed to have this kind of pattern, no wonder I felt familiar.

In this way, the owner of this yard probably has an inseparable relationship with the Xie family, so he just wanted to ask the old master about the origin of his friend.

The door opened, and the little boy stood by the door, handed back the wooden sign with both hands, and made a gesture of please.

"Big sister said it was from her own family, please go in."

The master inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief, and Ah Kuan could clearly feel that he had relaxed.

The three of them followed the little boy into the courtyard. The courtyard was full of flowers, willows and greens, and there were many exotic flowers and plants that A Kuan had never seen before.

There are several big geese swimming in the pond, and the red fish in the big tank on the porch are wagging their tails under the palm-sized round leaves.

Ah Kuan didn't know what these novel plants and animals were called, because he had never seen them before, and when he stepped into the yard, he felt that his eyes were not enough.
