Chapter 22 Catching the Wind
After that, several days passed.
Zheng Zhipeng never found a suitable candidate to take care of his wife. During this period, he met Yang Xu several times, but nothing happened. Every time he met by chance, Yang Xu said a few auspicious words, Zheng Zhipeng responded with a few greetings, and then it was gone.
But how could a huge Hangzhou-Zhou City meet someone every few days?
Finally, when Zheng Zhipeng met Yang Xu for the third time, he couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Yang Xu, I said that you will be my friend of Zheng Zhipeng from now on. If you need anything to help me, just tell me directly. There is no need to meet me like this."
"I...Fourth Master, I just want to treat you to a meal. My family runs a corner restaurant. Although the grade is not high, my sister's cooking skills are very good, and everyone who has eaten it said it is good."
"No need, just say something if you have something to do. I really don't have time to have dinner with you."
"Oh, then it's all right."
After saying that, Yang Xute left in disappointment.
Zheng Zhipeng looked confused.
Afterwards, Zheng Zhipeng continued to meet Yang Xu every few days. Every time he asked him, he said he wanted to invite Zheng Zhipeng to the corner restaurant they opened for dinner, but he just didn't say anything was wrong.
"Xiao Wang, come here."
"Fourth Master."
"That day I asked you to check the bottom of the boy named Yang Xu. Did you find it out?"
The man laughed and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Fourth Master, I can't help it."
"What's ridiculous?"
"Second Master, I've found it, but I don't think this person is of great use."
“How to say it?”
"It's also a poor child. His father was the accountant of a rich family. As a result, five years ago, the military chaos was in chaos. Both of his parents died. He had four younger brothers and sisters under him, and he had one sister above him. The six children were helpless all of a sudden. Fortunately, their family was facing the street, and his sister changed the house to a corner shop to support five younger brothers and sisters. Is he the eldest son? He came out earlier and made money the year before yesterday. Fortunately, he had a good talker and had a good talker. He did everything for his idle work. When the weather was bad, he would also help his sister sell alcohol, which would at least support himself."
Zheng Zhipeng nodded and said, "A very sensible child, why do you say he is useless?"
"Because his sister has a bad reputation, and...you will have an impact on your reputation if you use his words."
"What does it mean? Explain it."
"His sister, Madam Yang, is quite beautiful, but she is a little... not very careful. Many people call her a slut in secret. I heard that she is the mistress of many men, but no one can really tell who her man is. Anyway, I heard that many people have an affair with her."
Zheng Zhipeng sighed, "A girl's house opens a corner shop to support five younger brothers and sisters. If she didn't use some extraordinary means, the whole family would have starved to death long ago. She is also a pitiful person. No wonder Yang Xu said that day, his sister could not get married, but what does this have to do with me? Why is Yang Xu unavailable?"
"The ones who are legendary about having an affair with his sister... are you."
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
"There are rumors in the market that Fourth Master, you have an affair with his sister. After all, you... the villain said something wrong. Isn't this ruining your reputation? Fourth Master, your reputation has just improved in recent days. If you use him at this time, then this matter will be difficult to explain. So the villain thinks that this child is not available."
Zheng Zhipeng was stunned for a moment, then searched for the memory fragments of his predecessor. It seemed that there was no boss who opened a corner shop. Then he laughed at himself. Is this kind of thing clearly a tiger's skin to pull his banner?
"No wonder he kept saying he wanted me to have dinner at their house. It turned out that he wanted to confirm the rumor."
"Yes, Fourth Master, this is clearly a scheming for you. What you said is true. Although this kid is smart, he is too slick. We are already magnanimous if we don't deal with him. How can we still use him?"
Zheng Zhipeng thought for a while and said, "But someone in their family is in trouble recently. I want to use my name to conquer the market?"
"One day when the corner store is opened, no one will cause trouble."
Zheng Zhipeng was silent for a while and said, "I admire his sister very much. Since his sister is a beauty, can't she marry? I'm afraid she even had a marriage contract before. If an ordinary woman patted her butt and married herself, she would just leave her betrothal gifts to her parents' family. But if she did this, her five younger brothers and sisters would probably have to beg for food and beg for the streets. The world is difficult, and it is not easy for men to do business, let alone a weak woman. If she wasn't there really was no way, which woman would be willing to add an adulterer to her reputation? Our family wants money, money, power and power. Wouldn't it be stingy if she went to care about their family because of such a trivial matter? Besides, I also drank his sister's daughter and became popular, and it was even."
"The Fourth Master is kind and righteous."
"Do you know where their corner shop is? Let's take a few brothers to have a drink."
"Second Master, are you?"
"It's true that no one else can do it. The governor is a real person, but I don't feel at ease with someone a little older. If we get hooked up, we won't do good things at that time, and it will be easy to get flirted."
"Fourth Master, the brothel loves money, and the sister loves pretty. Although Yang Xu is young, she looks quite handsome. You may not know that now, the sister is just a bit of fresh meat wonton."
"He dared not. His life not only belongs to him, but also to four younger brothers and sisters and a sister who ruined his whole life for his family. Although he was scheming me, it was really slick, but I felt relieved after you said that. The family was waiting for dinner with five mouths. He dared not play thrilling, let alone betray me."
