The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

The villager asked, "What if that Qu Le treats his aunt as a pig? I think he really despises his aunt behind her back. He is just teasing her."

Cen A Shou thought for a moment and said, "That's their family's business, we don't care."

His brother is Miao Jun, and Qu Le is his brother's brother. Naturally, he has to stand on the side of his brother's brother. That girl looks quite annoying, so she has to just accept being cheated by her nephew.

After confirming that they were brothers, Cen A Shou took them in and let them live in his home.

Pan Yun took Miaozhen and Miaohe to check the room where she lived from top to bottom, and they looked disgusted inside and out, which made the Cen family almost drive them out.

In the end, Qu Le took out two strings of copper coins and stuffed them into their hands, bowed and apologized repeatedly, and only then did they continue to stay.

With his back to the Cen family, Qu Le could not help but complain: "Aunt, this place is far from the county town. It takes most of the day to go back and forth. The market will not open until tomorrow. Please bear with it. Besides, the Cen family has kept this room very clean."

"Where is clean?" Pan Yun said coquettishly, "Everywhere is dirty. The houses are dirty, the roads are dirty, and even the people are dirty. If you hadn't said there are super cheap gems and jewelry here, I wouldn't have come here."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry to trouble you. Let's go to the market tomorrow and buy something good and leave." Qu Le deliberately raised his voice: "Auntie, don't you want to buy gemstones to make jewelry as a dowry? Tomorrow is the best opportunity. You can use one tael of silver to do ten taels of work."

The people in the Cen family listened attentively, and the room became quiet. The spoiled little girl seemed to have finally accepted it.

The people in the Cen family were also somewhat dissatisfied, but the village did have a batch of goods to ship out. Recently, for some reason, the situation became a little tense, and the merchants who used to come to get the goods have not come recently, so the goods that were brought back are difficult to sell.

It is better to exchange the things in your hands for money as soon as possible.

Qu Le wandered around outside again and didn't come back until the evening, so everyone in the village knew about it.

The prodigal son Qu Le was abandoned by his family and had his money restricted, so he tricked his grandfather's favorite daughter out, saying that he wanted to prepare a dowry for her, but in fact he wanted to get some money from her to do business.

"Qu Le had a friend who used to buy goods from us and sell them. His friend was recently targeted by the government, so he wanted to take over the business, but he didn't have the capital."

"So he plans to cheat money from his aunt?" Cen Dachuan frowned. "He even cheats his own family. This guy is not good. I don't want to do business with him."

"Dachuan, things are different now, don't be too picky. Since the beginning of the year, only three merchants have come here, and they haven't taken much. If you keep those things for too long, something bad will happen." Cen Sheng whispered, "The villagers have been worried that you will bring trouble back. The situation has been tense recently, and everyone is not saying it, but they are actually feeling bad."

"Brother Sheng, do you mean to chase us away?" A man with a rat-like face beside him narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "I don't think it's because you are afraid of getting into trouble, but because you can't sell your goods and make money, right?"

Cen Sheng's face darkened. "Ermu, the villagers never took your things for free, including the nearby three miles and five villages. Who came for your money in the first place?"

"Everyone is having a hard time. We all know that you went out to seek your life. People from several villages risked being implicated to protect you. They did so out of the kindness of sharing the same food and water." Cen Sheng could not hide his anger. "Do you think of us like this now?"

"Brother Sheng, Ermu didn't mean that," Cen Dachuan glared at Cen Ermu and asked him to apologize to Cen Sheng: "We are from the same clan, and the villages are related. Brother Sheng and Brother Qiang are also at sea. I know what you mean. Ermu has been very upset during this period. I want him to apologize to you."

Cen Ermu looked unconvinced, but was still forced by Cen Dachuan to bow his head and apologize.

Cen Dachuan finally agreed to meet the Qu family's aunt and nephew at the market tomorrow.

Cen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They are very rich, and Qu Le is very sincere. Our selling price is much lower than outside. The girl is making a profit by buying things from us. As for the matter between her and her nephew, it is their family affair.

The meat is rotten in the same pot. If you don't do this business because of those minor details, the girl might even blame you. "

He said, "She is very spoiled. A Shou's family is famous for their good temper, but this time they were made a little angry by her. If she hadn't brought a box of money and really wanted to buy goods, they would not have been willing to receive her even for the sake of A Shou's friends." Cen Dachuan pondered and his attitude softened.

Seeing that he seemed to be convinced, Cen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said, "Then it's settled. Bring your things to the market tomorrow."

Cen Dachuan agreed.

Because their attention was on each other, neither of them noticed the flash of light in Cen Ermu's eyes behind them.

Cen Dachuan sent Cen Sheng to the door. He turned around and saw Cen Ermu standing with his head down. He frowned and said, "Ermu, you should be more respectful to Brother Sheng in the future. Our hometown is our retreat."

"We risked our lives outside, and now we have to look at Cen Sheng's face when we come back?" Cen Ermu was not convinced: "They didn't do anything. Every time we come back from the sea, we give them 20% of the things we get. Isn't that enough?"

He said, "I think they are making trouble because they can't exchange the goods for money. If they are spies sent by the court, we will all be finished if we let our guard down."

Cen Dachuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I asked Dayuan to check it out. There were five people in the group, a little girl and two maids, all of them only looked about twelve or thirteen years old. Qu Le was a little older, and he brought a servant with him. They looked like young masters from wealthy families, so it's impossible that they were sent by the court."

Cen Ermu: "In the past six months, several groups of people have come to our area, secretly asking about us. Don't they look like people from the underworld?"

Cen Dachuan: "Look at that little girl's delicate appearance, does she look like a woman of the underworld?"

The main reason is that their age is too deceptive. If Qu Le and Tao Yanbai came alone, they might be more suspicious.

Add to that Pan Yun, Miao Zhen and Miao He, even if the people of the underworld are not particular about trivial matters, Cen Dachuan doesn't think that anyone would send a daughter of this age out to get information.

Moreover, Pan Jun has an air of arrogance, and at first glance, she is obviously the daughter of a wealthy family who is pampered by everyone.

Upon hearing this, Cen Ermu lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.

The pampered daughter of a wealthy family, Pan Yun, asked Miao Zhen and Miao He to close the door, and then she fell back on the bed and exhaled: "Fortunately, I am well-informed. Although I can't deceive the truly wealthy people, I am more than capable of deceiving them."

Miao Zhen: "Uncle Junior, aren't you learning Xuanli?"

Pan Jun sat up: "How do you know?"

Miaohe: "Because they are so similar. When you raise your chin and look down at people, you look exactly like Xuanli."

The three of them laughed and followed suit to learn for a while, and in the end they found that Pan Yun learned it the best.

The three of them laughed foolishly, but unfortunately the candles given by Cen A Shou's family were too short and burned out in a short while.

Pan Jun looked at it and sighed: "Go to bed early tonight."

Miaozhen: "How do you sleep?"

Pan Yun: "The three of us will squeeze together, and Pan Xiaohei will find a place to stay at the foot of the bed." (End of this chapter)
