I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 22: If you make a mistake, redeem it with your name
As the spring sun shone in the distance, it looked like a sea of pure gold had been poured over the horizon, flooding the rockery at the Xu residence and the entire Sunan Prefecture.

Xu Yuanshou heard clearly the words of Chen Zhian, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes, in great disappointment.

The first person to react was the brown-clad butler beside him, but he really couldn't believe that in today's world, among ordinary people, there would be someone who dared to speak to the young master of a wealthy family like that.

Several black-clad guards in front of the door were ready to take action, waiting for the young master or the butler to give the order, and then they would knock the young man in front of them to the ground.

But Xu Yuanshou fell silent at this moment, and he looked at Chen Zhian with suspicion and scrutiny on his gloomy face.

Even his body, which had been slumped in the chair, sat up straight.

After a few breaths, Xu Yuanshou took a deep breath and looked directly at Chen Zhian: "You don't look like an arrogant or stupid person."

"You should know that this kind of joke is not funny. If I were an ignorant and unlearned dandy who didn't ask why, I'm afraid half of your bones would have been broken."

Chen Zhian was a little surprised, and said with his head tilted, "Master Xu specially invited me in to humiliate him, and wanted to give me a hundred bucks to send me away. Now he says that he is not an arrogant or domineering person... It's really ridiculous."

The butler beside Xu Yuanshou became more and more angry. He even took a closer look at Chen Zhian's clothes and felt that the young man in front of him, who was wearing a long coarse cloth robe, was more and more disgusting.

Just as he himself said, he once struggled in the mud of this world, bowing and scraping all the way until today.

Why is it that this young man, who also comes from an ordinary family, doesn't have to bow down to me?
"What are you standing there for? The master said, break his legs."

The butler suddenly gave the order.

Three black-clad guards instantly stepped forward from the door.

The three black-clad guards were extremely fast. In just a few steps, they had already crossed the gate and arrived in the hall.

Chen Zhian stood in the hall and could vaguely hear the sound of blood and energy flowing from the three black-clad guards.

He stood there in silence, his clenched arms already covered in blood.

Under the loose long clothes, the bulging muscles are ready.

Just at this moment, Xu Yuanshou in the hall and the people at the rockery outside the door shouted to stop almost at the same time.

"stop."

A loud shout was heard, and then another stream of energy came like a strong wind, a fierce force rushed straight over, and in the blink of an eye it was behind Chen Zhian.

The air rushed, sweeping up the tiny dust on the ground and the three black-clad guards.

call……

Just as the wind blew, the three black-clad guards were like fallen leaves picked up by the spring breeze and flew straight out of the West Hall.

Chen Zhian turned around curiously and saw a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe standing next to him.

The man had an ordinary appearance, the only impressive thing about him was his two long and thick eyebrows.

To Chen Zhian, this middle-aged man was a familiar face.

"Butler Zhao Er?"

As early as the day when Chen Zhian received the hydrangea, the middle-aged man who claimed to be the steward of the Xu family came to look for him.

Xu Yuanshou in the West Hall also shouted loudly to stop the black-clad guards.

But when those black-clad guards were stopped by Butler Zhao Er, Xu Yuanshou's brows showed more disappointment.

He glanced at Butler Zhao Er, then sat back on the bench and said, "Butler, this is a guest from your compound, but he is talking nonsense to me... He said he would help my Xu family defeat the Zhou family. Come and ask him how he will do that."

Chen Zhian suddenly had a better understanding of the young master of the Xu Mansion.

"Even though I provoked him with such words, he still held on to a tiny bit of hope. It seems that Xu Yuanshou is indeed not an ordinary playboy."

Butler Zhao Er clasped his fists towards Chen Zhian.

Chen Zhian grinned, reached into his sleeve, and took out a small oil-paper bag.

He didn't waste any words and opened the oil paper package under the watchful eyes of Xu Yuanshou and Butler Zhao Er.

Xu Yuanshou saw from afar a red-orange seed wrapped in an oil-paper bag, and his eyes suddenly changed.

He hurried closer and took another closer look.

Butler Zhao Er, who was standing next to Chen Zhian, was breathing much heavier at this time!

"Mr. Chen, this is..."

"These are seeds of the Buddha's claws." Chen Zhian covered the bag with oil paper.

"Mr. Chen, where did you get this Buddha's armor seed?" Butler Zhao Er had seen many storms and could no longer conceal the slight tremor in his voice.

Chen Zhian smiled and replied, "This Buddha Armor Seed should be of very good quality. What do you think, Butler Zhao Er, is better than the Buddha Armor Seed from the Xu family?"

Butler Zhao Er stared at the oil paper bag in Chen Zhian's hand and answered without hesitation: "It's much better, except for this Buddha Armor seed..."

"I also have seeds of agarwood leaves and golden thread." Chen Zhian fell silent after saying this. He stood in the hall and looked at Xu Yuanshou not far away.

Xu Yuanshou was also silent.

After a few breaths, Xu Yuanshou suddenly took a deep breath, clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Chen Zhian.

He almost bowed his head to the ground and said, "Today, you have been so arrogant and domineering, which has hurt the reputation of my Xu family. It is also my fault... I can't recognize people with my dog eyes. Mr. Chen, please don't take it to heart."

Chen Zhian was immediately surprised.

This Xu Yuanshou is quite adaptable.

When he said this, Xu Yuanshou stood up, looked coldly at the others in the hall, and said, "From now on, I will no longer be called Xu Yuanshou, just call me Xu Jinshou."

The brown-clad butler behind him was a little apprehensive: "Master, the master..."

Xu Yuanshou interrupted the housekeeper and said, "If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences. I disturbed the guests of the Xu Mansion and almost made the Xu Mansion lose a great opportunity. I will redeem it with my name, which will be a lesson for you."

Chen Zhian shook his head and put away the smile on his face.

He reached into his sleeve again and took out two small oil-paper packages and handed them to Butler Zhao Er. "Miss Xu is in the government office now. It would be bad if she missed the rating in the military supply account. Butler, please send it as soon as possible."

Butler Zhao Er bowed solemnly to Chen Zhian, took the three oil-paper bags and left in a hurry.

Xu Yuanshou and Chen Zhian were still in the hall.

The young master of the Xu family's second mansion, who was not tall, did not look down on Chen Zhian at all. He also bowed to Chen Zhian and said, "Xu Jinshou will serve tea. Please take a seat, Master Chen."

There was no trace of shame on Xu Yuanshou's face, his tone was extremely serious, and there was even a lot of gratitude on his face.

Chen Zhian sighed in his heart: "This young man from a wealthy family seems to have some extraordinary qualities. In the countryside, there are not many people who can suppress their temper."

"No, I have guests coming to my house tonight. I'll just deliver these three seeds safely to Miss Xu."

Chen Zhian waved his hand and turned to leave the West Hall.

Xu Yuanshou followed Chen Zhian closely, escorting him all the way to the mansion gate, and even stood in front of the gate and watched him from afar until Chen Zhian's figure disappeared at the end of Xiqing Street.

The brown-robed butler also followed behind Xu Yuanshou: "Master, maybe he is a lucky boy, why do you have to do this?"

Xu Yuanshou glanced at him, his eyes sharp and grim: "You are an old man in my Xu Mansion. You are used to bullying others outside because of your status as a housekeeper. Why can't you control your temper in the mansion today?"

"These three seeds are of great importance. You understand without me having to explain. Go and get your whipping."

The brown-clothed butler shuddered, and panic suddenly filled his eyes...

Xu Yuanshou stood quietly in front of the mansion gate for a long time, and was unwilling to go in even when it started to drizzle.

He was waiting for news from the government office.

-

In the six-room courtyard of the government office, many medicinal materials families from Suwu Prefecture, Qingchuan Prefecture, Jianghuai Prefecture, Xinshan Prefecture and even Zangding Prefecture were waiting in the courtyard.

Normally, these wealthy people with prosperous businesses are quite prestigious, and wherever they go, people will flock to them and flatter them.

But today in the Suwu government office, these people could only wait patiently. Some masters of the mansions were even so nervous that their hands were shaking slightly while drinking tea.

Xu Xiyue was also waiting in one of the rooms.

Today she was dressed in plain clothes, with a slim figure, and her eyes were as bright as lotus flowers, pure and elegant.

I don't know how many young officials in the government office couldn't help but steal a glance at her in such a tense atmosphere.

Sitting on the table beside Xu Xiyue, Zhou Xiujing, dressed in brocade clothes, was not nervous at all.

His face was full of smiles, he held the teacup in his hand and sipped the tea patiently.

"The Xishan Houkui in this mansion comes from the tea fields of my Zhou Mansion in Qingchuan Prefecture. Xiyue, how do you think it tastes?"

Xu Xiyue couldn't help but frown when she heard Zhou Xiujing calling her by her name.

Zhou Xiujing didn't seem to notice the disgust in Xu Xiyue's eyes, and continued to talk to himself: "It's not easy to get the seeds of Buddha's Armor, Kynam Leaf, and Lantern Golden Silk. My mother's family is in Xuantian Capital, and they are quite famous even in the capital. If it weren't for my uncle, I wouldn't be able to find such good seeds."

"With the seeds, half a year is enough to grow better medicinal herbs, Xiyue... You and I are both from Sunan Prefecture. I will give you some seeds when the time comes. I can also give you 20% to 30% of the medicine contract that my Zhou family supplies to the Songhuai Army..."

Zhou Xiujing's voice was sincere, as if he really intended to divide the business with the Xu family.

But Xu Xiyue was not someone who could be easily fooled. She naturally knew that if the Xu family really lost their city and territory in the signing of this medicine contract, what would be waiting for them would probably be a huge disaster.

And if she really wanted to get a share of the Zhou family's medicine supply to the Songhuai Army, she would have to pay an even heavier price.

Xu Xiyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She thought of the morning glow on Mount Qixia, the cotton-like clouds, and the breeze blowing from the mountain stream, and felt that there was so much filth in the secular world that it made her feel a little breathless.

As a woman, she shouldn't have to endure all this.

However, every time she thought of her father lying on the sickbed and the longing in his eyes, she realized that she could not escape these responsibilities.

And after today, this kind of responsibility will become even heavier. Even if she has the cultivation of divine energy, I am afraid she will not be able to bear it.

"That's how things are in this world. There is no family that will last forever."

As Xu Xiyue thought about it, she glanced at Zhou Xiujing who was not far away.

Zhou Xiujing was also looking at her with a smile on his face. Xu Xiyue could see that Zhou Xiujing was very proud at the moment.

Xin Tong behind Xu Xiyue was furious and spat, "The villain is getting ahead."

But what if the villain succeeds?

The successful villain is about to crush the Xu family.

Just when Xintong was feeling lonely and worried about his young lady, someone suddenly came to the door and said they were looking for someone from the Xu family.

Xintong left the room and came back after a while.

Xu Xiyue looked at Xintong with an inquiring look. Xintong blinked, and the expression on his face was about to overflow.

"Miss, Butler Zhao Er brought the seeds over."

"What seeds?" Xu Xiyue was a little confused.

"They are seeds of Buddha's Armillaria, Kynam Leaf, and Lampshade Golden Silk."

As she spoke, she handed the oil paper bag containing the seeds to Xu Xiyue.

Xu Xiyue turned around and quietly opened one of the oil paper packages.

Suddenly, a blush appeared on her fair face.

It is as gorgeous as the red and white peach blossoms.
