The Big Landlord

Tang Shi and Zhao Jin looked at Wei Cong's blank eyes, then looked at Zhao Xu's staring at Wei Cong, and thought to themselves: "Did the two of you not communicate well at all?"

"Axu, what are you thinking?" Zhao Jin asked her.

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Jin, then at Wei Cong, then grabbed Wei Cong by the wrist, dragged him out of the room, and asked as he walked, "Bookworm, what did you tell your family?"

"Xu, slow down, I just said that I want to marry you...Xu, wait for me!"

Tang Shi looked at the two people walking away with a smile, "Tell me, does Wei Cong really not know or is he pretending not to know?"

Zhao Jin sat down at the table with a smile and poured a cup of tea, "He's your school friend, you can't even figure it out, how would I know?"

"Are you not worried at all?"

"What are you worried about? As long as Ah Xu is happy, it doesn't matter whether Wei Cong marries Ah Xu or joins the Zhao family, as long as Ah Xu is safe and sound."

"You're right. But it's surprising that the Wei family agreed to the marriage." Tang Shi took a sip of the teacup that Zhao Jin handed over to him. Cong go back and make another plan, shall we?"

Zhao Jin was still drinking tea without making a sound.

"Hey, I'm asking you something!" Tang Shi patted his shoulder, "Don't just drink tea!"

Zhao Jin put down the teacup, reached out and wrapped him in his arms, "I'm not worried, what are you worried about? No matter what the Wei family thinks, A Xu is my sister, do you think I will hurt her?"

Tang Shi shook his head, "Then what if your heart is hurt?"

Zhao Jin smiled unkindly, "That girl, you are heartless, if you really talk about heartache, I'm afraid it will be your school friend."

Tang shi thought about it too.

"Staying in the house is boring. I heard that Lin'an Mansion is a famous and rich place. Why don't we go out and have a look?" Tang Shi got up and pulled Zhao Jin up.

"it is good."

The two came to the street market, wandering east and west, although it was not as good as the capital, it was still very lively.

Tang Shi and Zhao Jin seldom go shopping alone, and this is Lin'an, not Jingdu and Nanfeng County, no one knows them, so Zhao Jin stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Shi's, with his long sleeves hanging down, covering their handshake Tang Shi didn't care about other people's eyes. He curled his lips and interlocked his fingers with Zhao Jin.

At this moment, it seemed that the hustle and bustle of the market had gradually faded away, and what they could clearly feel was only the warmth of the handshake and the affection conveyed between the eyebrows.

If you can accompany Baishou like this, it will be the greatest happiness in this life.

The crowded crowd and the noise in front of them brought them back to reality. Tang Shi looked over and saw a noisy crowd not far away. They were all struggling to squeeze in front of a shop, as if they were trying to snatch something.

The shopkeeper and a few guys blocked the door, trying to dissuade: "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, listen to me!"

The crowd gradually calmed down, and Tang Shi and Zhao Jin also walked over to listen to what the shopkeeper had to say.

From the plaque, it can be seen that this is a bookstore, and it is not a small bookstore. The amount of books here should not be small, and it should be the largest bookstore in Lin'an Prefecture.

"It's not that I won't let you see, it's just that there are so many of you, and the small shop can't hold it. How about it, why don't you come one by one, but this Poxu layman doesn't just meet you just because you see him, you have to see him once." There are conditions." The storekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

"What conditions?" The crowd asked him.

The shopkeeper showed a friendly smile, "You also know that it is a great honor for the shop to be able to take a fancy to the shop and rest here, sir, when you first came to Lin'an. I also understand how everyone wants to see him, but you must rest for sir What's more, if you rush in so rashly, what if you disturb the master's thoughts?"

The crowd felt that what the shopkeeper said was reasonable, so they calmed down.

"Seller, tell me, how can I meet Mr. once?"

"Mr. is a person who loves talents. If anyone can silently write the most words in "Returning to the Furnace" in the same period of time without any mistakes, whoever can meet Mr. once."

"Okay, just listen to the store, but we don't have paper and pen with us!"

The shopkeeper smiled even more when he heard the words, "The small shop will provide pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but there is a charge for them. Those who are interested can come in and have a try."

Immediately, someone took the lead and went in, and the first person was followed by the second person, and all the people in the crowd with enough money went in.There are also some wines that are not willing to spend money to stay outside, with a tangled expression.

"Time is limited." The shopkeeper said to the rest of the people with a smile.

Immediately, someone gritted his teeth and entered the interior of the bookstore.

Zhao Jin lowered his head and whispered to Tang Shi, "This shop is trying to use your name to make a fortune, so you don't have any ideas?"

Tang Shi looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, took Zhao Jin's hand and walked back, "I want to borrow my name to make money, how can it be so simple?"

"But what I'm curious about is, if someone really wins and wants to meet the Shaky Layman, how will this store get off the ground?" Zhao Jin felt that the store would be exposed sooner or later, and by then these literati would tear him apart .

Tang Shi frowned slightly, "Why do I think you've become stupid?" It's impossible for Zhao Jin not to think of such a simple thing.

Zhao Jin was suddenly disgusted, and felt very sad in his heart. Could it be that he was thinking wrong?

"With your eyesight, didn't you see that it was the same person who responded to the store at the first time in the crowd just now?" Tang Shi asked while looking at him.

"Of course I can see it, but is there any problem with this?" In his eyes, this person must have revered Layman Poxu too much.

Tang Shi stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhao Jin with an inexplicable look. He really discovered the New World. Doesn't this man know that there is a kind of person called Tuo'er in this world?

"Since you have seen it all, why didn't you see that this person is in the same group as the store owner? He is just pretending to be in the crowd to fan the flames and stimulate other people's emotions, so as to achieve the store's purpose."

When Zhao Jin heard the words, he suddenly realized, "You mean, he did it on purpose. When the inexplicable match came, the store would cheat again and let this insider win. In this case, it doesn't matter if there is a real person or not." , So, the money is earned, and the reputation is also gained, what a good idea!"

Tang Shi nodded, "It's indeed a good idea to trick idiots."

Zhao Jin smiled embarrassedly. He seemed to have made an embarrassment in front of the little tiger. How can this stupid image be saved?

"Then how are you going to expose the store's hypocrisy? Let me guess," he decided to redeem himself, "Are you planning to write a new chapter, but don't mention anything about Lin'an?"

Tang Shi hooked his lips, "A fool can guess it."

Zhao Jin couldn't help scratching his palm, which made him laugh out loud.

After returning to the inn, Tang Shi began to create, and it took a full afternoon before he finished revising and writing a chapter.

Zhao Jin saw that he looked a little tired, so he ordered the inn worker to bring up all the prepared meals, "Are you hungry? Let's talk after eating."

There is a fixed store for the publication of new chapters, and there is no rush. Tang Shi stretched after thinking about it. As soon as he sat down, a fish ball was brought to his mouth.

"You must have sore hands after writing the article all afternoon. I'll feed you." Zhao Jin's gentle voice fell into Tang Shi's ears. , this meal is still to be eaten.

"You don't want to eat it yourself?" He swallowed one fish ball, looked at the second one handed over, and asked Zhao Jin.

"I'm not hungry."

Looking at his handsome face, Tang Shi's appetite suddenly became better.

After a few days, Zhou Xun took Li Shao to collect some more evidence and handed it to Zhao Jin, "My lord, our evidence is almost ready, when will we return to Kyoto?"

Zhao Jin looked at him, "How do you think about that matter?"

Zhou Xun knew what he was asking, and it was nothing more than how he would deal with his emotions after returning to the capital with the evidence.

"My lord, I have thought about it for a few days, but I still..."

Zhao Jin nodded, "It's really difficult, but you have to think about it, do you want her to live to hate you or just die?"

"Of course I hope she lives!"

Zhao Jin said "Yes", "After returning to Beijing, I will intercede with the emperor, and don't let innocent people get involved."

Zhou Xun knelt down abruptly, "Thank you, my lord!"

After Zhou Xun and Li Shao left, Zhao Xu and Wei Cong came over again. Zhao Xu sat down and poured a large cup of tea, he laughed, "Brother, Tang Shi, do you know? We witnessed it with our own eyes on the street. It was an interesting thing.”

"what's up?"

"Nerd, tell me!"

Wei Cong smiled slightly, and looked at Tang Shi, "It's related to Poxu Layman." He paused, and seeing Tang Shi's face fluctuate, he continued, "A few days ago, a shopkeeper in a bookstore deceived people from Lin'an Mansion. Literati students, because some people speculated that Poxu Layman would go to Lin'an, so the store owner used the name of Poxu Layman to solicit money, but everyone should not be deceived by him, he really made a lot of money Less money. It’s just that when the new chapter comes out this time, all the literati who were deceived by him went to him to settle accounts, the bookstore was smashed to the brim, and the store owner was also in a terrible state.”

Tang Shi and Zhao Jin looked at each other and laughed.

"Is this what you call self-inflicted evil?" Zhao Xu looked at Wei Cong with a smile.

Wei Cong nodded.

"Wei Cong, what regulations have you discussed in the past few days?" Tang Shixin was gossiping.

Wei Cong looked a little uncomfortable, "I have discussed it with A Xu. I will propose marriage to A Xu, and our first boy will be adopted to you." Excuse me.

Zhao Jin sighed, "Ah Xu, don't take it too seriously. No matter what the child's surname is or whose genealogy he is on, he still has half of our family's blood, as long as you are happy. I discussed with Tang Shi After that, we will be walking around in the future, but we don't have time to help you raise your children."

Zhao Xu and Wei Cong nodded when they heard the words.

"Brother, after that, you should come back often to see." Zhao Xu has been following Zhao Jin for more than ten years, and has been living with Zhao Jin for the past few years, so he is naturally reluctant to part with Zhao Jin.

"Will do."

"In Tang Dynasty, I might have to go back to Nanfeng County first. A letter from my family told me to prepare to propose marriage." Wei Cong was also unambiguous about this kind of matter.

Tang shi smiled, and was about to answer, when he returned from the inquiry outside the door.

"My lord, Mr. Tang, brother Hong sent someone to deliver a letter for the Tang family."
