I have a backstage in Datang

Although he was also a descendant of the Sun family in the past, he did not belong to the status of the eldest son after all. Although he had quite a status in the family, he could not reach the point where everyone respected him.

Because of this, the uncle would show him dignity as soon as they met. The uncle obviously wanted to tell everyone that from today onwards, he would be the top speaker of the entire Sun family in Miyun.

At this time, a few stewards had come forward, followed by two rows of young men with lively eyebrows and eyes, some were holding a steaming water basin, and some were holding wet wipes as white as snow, all of them lowered their eyebrows and drooped their eyes carefully. Bow down and wait.

One of the stewards was particularly excited, and excitedly said: "My lord, you can be considered to be back, the road is bumpy and dusty, you should hurry up and wash your hands and dust..."

As he spoke, he personally picked up a wet wipe from the servant, and raised it respectfully in front of Sun Zhao.

Sun Zhao glanced at him, pointed at him suddenly, laughed and cursed: "You can mess around, don't make such a move, lest it spread and make people laugh at me, withdraw, withdraw, hurry up, Nonsense, really nonsense."

The tone was obviously reprimanding, but the manager had a happy face, and before he knew it, he straightened his back a lot.

Even the person in charge of the Sun family next to him seemed to nod slightly to the steward as a sign.

Everyone knows the reason, the person in charge belongs to Sun Zhao.

Sun Zhaoming seemed to be scolding him, but in fact, his words revealed a sense of intimacy, which was an expression of his position, also known as support.

From this moment on, the status of stewards has changed in the entire Sun family.

The steward's eyes widened, and he suddenly looked at all the stewards present. Although he was not arrogant, he was arrogant.

Especially staring at a steward who was standing farther back, it seemed that he expressed his soaring to the other party in an extremely secretive way.

And the steward who was staring at him hastily lowered his head, but there was resentment and dissatisfaction in the depths of his eyes.

Sun Zhao seemed to have never seen this scene.

The person in charge of the Sun family also seemed to have disappeared.

It's just a dogfight among the servants, no matter Sun Zhao or the person in power of the first wife doesn't need to take it to heart at all.

No matter how much you fight, it will be Sun's servants after all, and the servants will fight among themselves so that it is convenient for the master to control.As long as they are consistent in their external efforts, they are good servants of the Sun family.

……

At this time, the ruler of the Sun family was still holding Sun Zhao with both hands, laughing and about to lead him home, but Sun Zhao smiled slowly and said with deep meaning: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew still has a guest!"

"Guest?" The person in charge of the Sun family focused their eyes.

Sun Zhao still smiled, as if pointing something: "My nephew left Chang'an this time, he should be in charge of Miyun county magistrate, and also has the post of deputy county magistrate, who happens to be my nephew's best friend of the same generation. One county is going to serve, so we will ride in the same carriage."

These words are quite suggestive.

How shrewd was the person in charge of the Sun family, he suddenly showed a look of 'surprise and surprise' on his face, he laughed and said: "It's such a coincidence, this is a big deal, ah haha, dare to ask that county magistrate As a guest, our Sun family in Miyun will surely flourish."

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage door was lifted again, and Liu Yun came out to salute respectfully, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "I was about to bother you, but I have seen Uncle Shi."

The person in charge of the Sun family laughed again, and personally walked to the carriage to ask him to get off.

This scene was seen by the onlookers all over the street.

Everyone's face was full of shock and fear.

The county magistrate and county magistrate of Miyun County have all become Sun's backers. In the days to come, Sun's will probably become even more tyrannical.

……

Not far away, Gu Tianya was silently watching.

The woman standing next to him bored, suddenly snorted impatiently: "Still waiting?"

Gu Tianya glanced at her, nodded and said softly, "We still have to wait!"

The woman became more and more impatient, and asked again: "How long?"

Gu Tianya turned his head to look at the Sun's gate, and said in a deep thought: "We can go to the stewards to ask for land after the greeting etiquette is finished."

The woman's eyes widened, and she reminded fiercely: "I'm going to buy it, not begging. You are not allowed to use such a bitter tone. Auntie, I don't like it very much."

Gu Tianya was full of helplessness, and also reminded her: "Don't forget, although it is a purchase, it is on credit. Since it is on credit, you have to lower your posture."

The woman clenched her fists angrily, and looked at the gate of Sun's house with fierce eyes.

Looking at that posture, it seems that he wants to smash it.

……

Fortunately, the welcoming scene did not drag on for long, and finally saw the ruler of the Sun family pulling Sun Zhao and Liu Yuanyu to enter the door, but the woman finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she also pulled Gu Tianya to the other side.

When the two of them reached the door, everyone in the Sun family had basically entered, except for one steward who was still at the door, and the woman directly pulled Gu Tianya and walked over.

Gu Tianya couldn't help shouting 'bitterness' in his heart.

It's just because this steward is not someone else, but the one who was proudly protested by Sun Zhao's steward just now. ?

The most important thing is that the manager is very familiar with Gu Tianya.

This steward is not someone else, it is the one that A Yao said before, he only gives Gu Tianya half a catty of grain each time, but makes Gu Tianya dig the mud for a whole day.

It's just that friends don't get together.

But there is no way, the woman has already pulled him to the front, Gu Tianya had no choice but to bite the bullet, raised his hand to the steward, and said slightly flatteringly: "Sun steward, we meet again."

"go away!"

Sure enough, the steward was so angry that he opened his mouth and cursed at Gu Tianya.

Gu Tianya was scolded by the manager, it was no longer a one-time or two-time thing.

However, the woman on the side immediately exploded, baring her teeth and waving her claws, and asked, "Who are you scolding? I see if you are looking for death..."

I don't even want to scold my 'good nephew', how dare you, a servant who is not considered a dog, dare to scold you?This is not you looking for death alone, but the entire Miyun Sun family is looking for death.

Her face was full of anger, her eyes swished murderously, and she was clearly about to go crazy seeing that fierce posture.

Gu Tianya was taken aback. Without even thinking about it, he hurriedly grabbed the woman, and begged bitterly, "I don't call you aunt, I call you ancestor, please don't cause trouble, can you save me some face?"

The woman was still furious, but she didn't want to refute Gu Tianya's face, she just gave the steward a hard look, then turned her head and ran away as if playing with her temper.

With a bang, a stone on the side of the street did not know whether it was in the way of her feet, and she was kicked away by her for more than ten steps.

But Gu Tianya couldn't care less about comforting her, he could only keep smiling at the steward here, and after repeatedly humiliating, he finally made things clear.

However, what he got in exchange was a burst of cynicism.

Chapter 16 [Gu Tianya's first performance]

"I want to buy land, yes..."

"Although I don't have too much authority as the manager, it's still possible to sell some cemeteries..."

"The key, are you worthy?"

"Or, are you poor people in Gujia Village worthy?"

"The poor must have the self-awareness of the poor."

"Once a person dies, he needs a piece of land on credit. You take our Sun family as a charitable hall? Have you ever heard of the principle of saving the emergency but not the poor?

"If you can't afford to die, then don't die. Don't always use the saying that death is the greatest to win pity. This kind of rhetoric is not only used by poor people in your Gujia Village..."

"No money? Get out if you don't have money."

"People want to be buried? Do you want to bury yourself?"

"Can't afford it, can't you? If you can't afford it, don't bury it! Your Gu family village is close to a big river, so throw people into the river for water burial, save money and effort, and don't ask anyone, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Spit stars are flying all over the sky.

It's always been the steward who is going crazy.

The so-called people's words are like a knife, I am fish and meat, when others chop it with a knife, it is not impossible to resist one or two, but it is a pity that when people are poor and short-sighted, no matter how great the humiliation is, they can only endure it silently.

So from the beginning to the end, Gu Tianya always put on a flattering smile on his face, until the manager in front of him was satisfied with scolding, Gu Tianya just bowed his hands like doing his own thing, and said very calmly: "Then, follow the old rules. Can’t you? Sell us a corner of the barren land, and allow us to pay back the loan slowly. For two hundred Wen, I’ll weave reed mats to cover the debt..."

"Bah, no!"

The manager suddenly spat, as if the resentment in his heart hadn't been exhausted, he looked at Gu Tianya with a cold snort and said, "It used to be [-] Wen, now it's [-] Wen."

Price hike?

A direct increase of one hundred coins?

This is obviously deliberately making things difficult.

Gu Tianya couldn't help being angry, but his face remained calm, not only remained calm, but even his tone became humble, pretending to be shy: "Why did you suddenly increase the price?"

He didn't wait for the steward to open his mouth, and then he pretended to be submissive and said: "The cemetery is wasteland, and it is useless except for burying people. A tomb wasteland is only two feet long and wide, and it is sold at the price of irrigated fields." At most, it can only be sold for two hundred yuan, but when we bought the cemetery in the past, we paid the purchase price of the irrigated field. Although the price was high, we were willing to bear it. After all, we are On credit, the higher price can be used as interest, but now, but now..."

"How is it now?" The steward snorted coldly.

Gu Tianya deliberately pretended to be an aggrieved poor boy, and replied with a pitiful face: "Now you want three hundred Wen, these three hundred Wen, these three hundred Wen, these three hundred Wen are too high."

The person in charge snorted coldly again, clearly trying to make things difficult, and said bitterly: "Then you don't have to buy it."

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, as if he was being persecuted extremely bitterly, suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, as if he was very helpless, and said: "Then... that's fine, just three hundred Wen."

The manager was taken aback, he never thought that Gu Tianya would agree.

The guy's face twitched faintly, and suddenly he snorted coldly and said again: "That's good, you bring the reed mat. For three hundred Wen, you have to bring forty reed mats to cover it..."

Gu Tianya seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and he didn't know whether it was real or fake, and deliberately asked stupidly: "Isn't it always on credit before? Why do you have to give it to the reed mat first this time?"

"Ha, what a joke!"

The steward let out a disdainful 'ha', and said even more bitterly: "Since ancient times, business has been paid with one hand and delivered with the other. If you can't get the reed mat now, then you can go as far as you can." .”

However, Gu Tianya didn't seem to listen to his sarcasm, instead he suddenly asked a question with deep meaning: "Are you no longer entitled to sell the land?"

Have you lost the right to sell the land?

With just this one sentence, the steward suddenly seemed to become angry from embarrassment, and saw this servant suddenly jumping to his feet and yelling: "You are blind, and you dare to guess about the Sun family, get out, get out, Let alone [-] Wen, you don’t even want to buy land with [-] Wen. This is what I said, no matter who comes to intercede, today’s matter is settled like this. If it can’t be changed, get out of here. "

However, Gu Tianya still didn't seem to listen to these words, but suddenly said in a long voice: "Oh... so you really have no right to sell the land."

"fart!"

The steward became more and more enraged, and suddenly reached out his hand and took out a stamp from his pocket, and cursed furiously: "You're blind, what is this? This is the seal of the steward of the Sun family, this is the seal of the steward of the Sun family!" Ahh..."

He yelled and lost his composure, causing a group of servants in front of the Sun's gate not far away to watch, but he carefully maintained an appearance as if he hadn't seen it.

Gu Tianya naturally recognized the seal in the steward's hand.

The Sun family in Miyun is a big family, with countless property and wealth, over a hundred family members, and dozens of properties. Such a big family has countless trivial matters to deal with every day, so naturally it is impossible to rely on the power holders in the family to personally intervene.

Therefore, some small matters have to be left to the domestic slaves to decide.

For example, the entire Sun family has at least seven or eight steward seals, and they are usually given to more favored stewards to take charge of them, and they are used to deal with trivial matters that are not on the table.

Selling cemeteries is a trivial matter for the Sun family.

With this seal, you only need to write out a deed of sale and stamp it on top without taking it to the Yamen for reporting, and the sale of the graveyard and wasteland will be considered a deal.

The steward suddenly took out his seal and yelled at people, just to show Gu Tianya that his authority is still there, he scolded very loudly and looked extremely annoyed.

However, a dog that bites does not bark.

The more he yelled, the more Gu Tianya knew that his good days as a manager were coming to an end.

Maybe it won't be long before this seal of stewardship has to be withdrawn.

So what Gu Tianya has to do now is very simple, he needs to take advantage of the opportunity to completely make the other party angry, and then the other party loses his composure when his anger is soaring, write him a land sale deed and stamp it.

Previously, Gu Tianya's resignation was forbearance.

Previously, Gu Tianya's submissiveness was just pretending.

Forbearance and dress belong to Gongqian.

Then he asked suddenly, deliberately asking if the steward had lost his power.

When the steward became angry from embarrassment, he began to mock with a long voice.

Questioning and ridicule belong to arrogance.

The old saying used to say that the front is arrogant and the last is respectful, but Gu Tianya uses the front to be respectful and the last to be arrogant. First he treats you with respect and humility, and suddenly he treats you with arrogance. Under such a sharp contrast, the more powerless a person is, the more he can't stand it. .

Thus, Gu Tianya's goal was achieved.

In shame and anger, the steward kept waving the seal for Gu Tianya to see, saying 'Are you blind' and 'Give me a good look'.

Gu Tianya's eyes were piercing, and he took the opportunity to say something abruptly, and said aggressively again: "Although the seal is still there, do you still have the courage to stamp it?"

"Fart!" The steward roared, as if roaring: "Today, I will let you open your dog's eyes and see for yourself, and see if this steward still has the right to use this chapter again."
