Chapter 103 Clan elder and concubine

Aunt Liu was still thinking about finding a backer, but then the five clan elders spoke again, "It's better to rely on our own people than anyone else."

Aunt Liu nodded, yes, you can run away from the mountains and mountains, but you still rely on yourself. Is it not impossible to let Fan'er take the imperial examination? Even with Fan'er's talent, I'm afraid he has to study hard for several years. The restaurant's affairs are complicated and no one can care about it!

"Fan'er's qualifications are mediocre. He has a good business plan, so it's not satisfactory to take the imperial examination."

Aunt Liu knew in her heart that what she said was true, but she was a little unhappy. Her son was good, and no one could say badly.

"Fan'er can't do it, but our Zhou family is also a big family. I think, otherwise we can train two talented children with all the strength of the clan. When they make a fortune in the future, we will not be rootless merchants."

Having said that, Aunt Liu suddenly realized that she had spared such a big circle and was waiting here. After all, she still needs money. What's the point of combining the power of the entire clan? I'm afraid that my family will pay for it in the end!

She was so angry that she kept cursing, but she looked like she was suddenly taught, and then asked, "I wonder which family is the qualified child that the fifth uncle said?"

When the old man from the five clans saw her asking this, he was happy and said quickly: "One is the weekend at your fourth uncle's house, and the other is my little grandson Zhou Gui. They are now studying with the Master. The Master often praises them for their talent and cleverness."

After hearing this, Aunt Liu laughed furiously. She knew that it was these two people, who were talented and smart, so she should not say this to her. These two people are famously stupid and naughty, and she didn't know it. Besides, that weekend, it was already 25 or 26, and she was still idle. She fought cocks and dogs all day long and didn't have any good luck. She would rely on him to take the imperial examination and protect the Zhou family. It would be better to build two more ancestral halls and seek ancestors!

She was so angry that she also put away her obedience on her face, and said in a cold tone: "Uncle Fifth is joking, I dare not say anything about others, but it is already 25 or 6 on the weekend. When he gets the exam, my restaurant will probably be eaten up!"

When the four clans heard what she said, they were not happy. The weekend was his eldest grandson, and he was most favored by him. In his eyes, everything was good. How could he allow a concubine Liu to speak casually?

He had a bad temper and had a paralyzed face. Before he came, the other clan elders told him not to talk too much, so as not to break the plan. But now he didn't care about so much, and said directly: "Liu, you are so rude, we polite you, so we asked you to take care of the Zhou family and discuss everything with you. If you don't know how to rude, you don't have to stay in the Zhou family anymore. Pack your things and get out!"

Aunt Liu was stunned by his sudden turn against each other. Then she remembered her identity, and the veil in her hand tightened, and her anger in her heart was like a pierced balloon, which suddenly leaked completely.

When the four clans saw that she was suppressed, they were very proud and asked him to say that if you want money, you have to ask her so directly. What a turn? A concubine, would you dare to fight against the elders of the clans?

"You don't have to say too much. The matter of studying with Zhou Gui on weekends is decided like this. The whole clan will pay the money. When they get the power in the future, our clan will benefit. As for the money, the other families are not rich, and each family will pay one tael of silver. You have a restaurant and a big house. If you have a lot of money, you will pay one thousand taels. That's it!"

When Aunt Liu heard about 1,000 taels, she didn't breathe in one breath. She almost cursed in her heart. She was old, didn't you all calculate the income of the restaurant? You still have to 1,000 taels now. Do you really think they are the silver mines?

The four clan elders didn’t care about so much of her. After saying that, they sat down to drink tea and smacked their lips. This tea is really good!

Seeing that the four clans had already had an attack, the other clans stopped pretending and each picked up teacups and waited for Aunt Liu to get the silver notes.

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth for a while and plucked up the courage and said, "What uncles are saying is reasonable. We should cultivate our own people and let them take the imperial examination. However, I can't afford that much money now. Otherwise, my family will pay fifty taels?"

She was going to bargain. She paid 50 taels for someone else's family, which was already fifty taels.

When the four clans heard this, she turned 1,000 taels into fifty taels. She put the teacup in her hand on the table and said sternly: "Okay, Liu, fifty taels, are you sending beggars? Zhou Guina is your nephew on the weekend. Who are you insulting with fifty taels of silver?"

Aunt Liu was so angry that she sat in the chair and kept shaking.

The little maid at the door held a tray and looked inside through the crack of the door. She felt very happy in her heart. She deserved it. She was a wife. Do you think that if you harm her wife, you would have a good life?

Aunt Liu complained again. The clan elders knew the current property of the Zhou family and knew that one thousand taels were indeed not a small amount, so both sides took a step back. Aunt Liu gave out five hundred taels first, and when the restaurant was turned around in the future, they would make up for the other five hundred taels.

When they left with the silver notes satisfied, Aunt Liu waved her sleeves and brushed the teacup on the table to the ground. Her ribs became more and more painful, and the things in her throat made her feel uncomfortable.

In the evening, Zhou Fan, who had been busy for a whole day, returned home. Aunt Liu quickly called him into the house and prepared him to talk to him about what happened in the afternoon.

But before she could speak, Zhou Fan said anxiously: "Mom, it's not good. I'll see Zhou Jian today!"

Aunt Liu was stunned, then smiled and said, "See you when you see it. He is not dead yet? But he came to the restaurant to ask for food? I said Fan'er, why did he say he was the eldest master of the Zhou family? Since he came to the door, why don't you give him a bowl of rice!"

Zhou Fan shook his head and said, "No, mother, he didn't come to the restaurant. I saw him when I was passing by. Not only is he not dead, he has also joined a miracle doctor. The miracle doctor gave him money and asked him to open a restaurant, right next to our Ziyun Building!"

"What?" Aunt Liu slapped the table, "You said he wants to open a restaurant?"

Zhou Fan said: "Yes, I heard that I had bought the restaurant and started to decorate it. The miraculous doctor took advantage of it and handed over the restaurant to him!"

Aunt Liu asked again: "Miscellaneous Doctor? What Mistress?"

She has been forced by the clan elders recently, asking for money today and things tomorrow, but she hasn't noticed that there are any miracle doctors outside.

Zhou Fan said: "I am a young doctor. I heard that my medical skills are very exquisite. Now all the Luoxiang Mansion has spread all over the country. Even the prefect and the Tongzong family have gone to the diagnosis and treatment."

Aunt Liu didn't care about anything else. She heard that this doctor had treated the magistrate and now asked Zhou Jian to open a restaurant. She thought she understood why the magistrate ignored them.

"But one doctor will call himself a miracle doctor after he cured one or two patients. Why are you so angry? Our Ziyun Tower is the largest restaurant in Luoxiang Mansion. Why should we be afraid of the restaurant run by a doctor?"

Seeing that his mother didn't take Wei Zhao seriously at all, Zhou Fan didn't know how to tell her, so he simply stopped talking.

Doctor Wei is now in Luoxiang Mansion, and he is a real sensational figure and the benefactor of the prefect. He opens a restaurant, and this is the biggest opponent of Ziyun Tower, not to mention Zhou Jian. He chose the restaurant near Ziyun Tower, but I am afraid he would not have any kindness!
