The broker glanced at the door with difficulty and reluctantly agreed: "I will report to Young Master Jiang another day."
Xu Shu also took a look and saw a piece of clothing fluttering by, so he laughed: "Brother at the door, it's boring to hide it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in luxurious clothes peeked in through the crack in the door. The young man had a delicate appearance, and the red headband on his forehead was like the finishing touch, making his eyebrows and eyes look like a painting.
Xu Shu leaned towards Wu Yong and asked, "Brother?"
Wu Yong couldn't tell either, and was just beginning to wonder when he saw the broker approaching with a big smile on his face: "Mr. Jiang, why are you here when you have time?"
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the broker and didn't reply. He only looked at Xu Shu and said, "You are the one who wants to buy my Jiangping Inn for fifty taels and also want to make friends with me?"
Xu Shu estimated the age of Mr. Jiang and guessed that he was just over 18 years old, so he just nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Xiaoyu laughed, her face as beautiful as a summer flower: "Who gave you the courage?"
Xu Shu, however, found a seat and sat down indifferently, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him: "No one needs to give me the courage, Master Jiang, you will understand after listening to me."
"What do you mean by understand?" Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the tea and refused to take it, but sat down. "I'll give you a chance."
"Before that, I have something I'm curious about. I'd like to ask, who is the guy you care about? Do you still care about him now? If I can help you..."
"Help me with what?" Jiang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, took the tea and took a sip, "A man who only knows how to talk big, my young master..."
"Hey, Young Master Jiang." Wu Yong now understood what Xu Shu meant and teased him deliberately, "Don't look down on me. My brother is not an ordinary person."
Jiang Xiaoyu also has a hot temper, so she got straight to the point: "Then I said I want the raccoon cat, redeem the raccoon cat from Yichun Tower, can you do it?"
"Is it actually a raccoon cat?" Xu Shu was also a little surprised. He looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and shook his head. "The raccoon cat is still too young. I can redeem her. I'll give it to you..."
"Do you know Li Mao'er?" Jiang Xiaoyu was just saying this out of anger. Seeing that Xu Shu knew Li Mao'er, she frowned again, "You...you didn't go to Yichunlou and order Li Mao'er, did you? You...you are worse than an animal."
Xu Shu was choked by these words and was speechless.
Wu Yong was quick-tempered and immediately said, "Don't slander my brother. Yichunlou has already been bought by someone else, did you know that?"
"You mean that fool?" Jiang Xiaoyu glared at Xu Shu, "Of course I know, so what?"
Wu Yong wanted to point at Xu Shu and say that this was the young master, but suddenly he got stuck. His mind was spinning, and Xu Shu interrupted him and said, "Yes, I am the one who got taken advantage of."
This time it was Jiang Xiaoyu's turn to be stunned, and she began to stutter: "Then you...then you...then you..."
Xu Shudu laughed and helped him to continue: "I am now the owner of Yichun Tower. Mrs. Wang gave me all the indentures of everyone."
"Then you..." Jiang Xiaoyu said again.
"Then can I redeem your cat?" Xu Shu helped him. Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu nodding repeatedly but looking embarrassed, he said, "Of course I can."
"You want this inn, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu's mind quickened when talking about the conditions. "Fifty taels is for you. Steward, bring me the deed."
The broker responded and hurriedly took out the paper deed from his pocket and handed it to Xu Shu, but Xu Shu didn't even look at it. He just asked, "Do you believe me now?"
Jiang Xiaoyu was silent for a while before asking, "So what do you want?"
"Tell me first, why did you redeem the civet cat? I hope you won't hide it from me."
Jiang Xiaoyu said with a sigh, and reluctantly said, "Li Mao'er is my nanny's younger brother. We grew up together and have a very good relationship. Unfortunately, besides Li Mao'er, my nanny's family also has a gambler brother. He lost money in the gambling house opened by Yichunlou and had no money to pay back, so he sold Li Mao'er to Yichunlou."
"I was not at home during that time. When I came back from Jiangnan, Civet Cat was already in Yichun Tower."
"I negotiated with Mrs. Wang from Yichunlou several times, but the old bastard always brushed me off and offered higher prices each time. My father is a well-known figure in Changping County, but that woman didn't give me any face at all..."
"She even said she wanted to buy my inn. Humph, that's wishful thinking. If I get a bargain, no one else can get a bargain with her."
"So, you are indeed a brother." Xu Shu made the final conclusion and talked about other things.
Wu Yong stared at Xu Shu with eyes wide open.
Jiang Xiaoyu snorted and said impatiently: "What does this have to do with you? Beast."
Xu Shu was speechless for a while before he calmed down and continued to say to Jiang Xiaoyu: "This has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with the civet cat. He is young and naive. If you were not my brother, I would be afraid that he would be deceived by you."
"I'm like this?" Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled. "What am I like?"
"He's a handsome and elegant gentleman." Xu Shu nodded, smiling, "He's also a love-struck character."
Jiang Xiaoyu didn't understand what the character setting was, but looking at Xu Shu's expression, he felt that this was not a compliment to him, so he quickly retorted: "Nietzsche has a handsome face, and your whole family has handsome faces!"
Now Xu Shu was scolded and laughed.
But it's not that he can't understand.
Although the Jiang family is considered wealthy in Changping County, merchants do not have a high status in the Jing Dynasty. Jiang Xiaoyu is just a young man, and it would be considered amazing if he can recognize a few words. It is really too much to expect him to know these idioms.
But he still needs to teach his little Hibiscus a lesson.
Jiang Xiaoyu knew that Xu Shu was making fun of him, but he was just as Xu Shu thought. He had never been to school and could only recognize a few words and understand the account books. When he met a scholar like Xu Shu, he really didn't know what to do.
But why is this guy a scholar? Jiang Xiaoyu thought angrily, a scholar is doing business?
They look down on the merchants, but they like to do business to make money. They are really... really shameless!
The one in front of me is even more shameless, as he actually took over a business like Yichunlou.
The situation was already chaotic when Mrs. Wang was around. Now that it has fallen into the hands of a man, what will happen?
The more Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, the angrier she became. She had no good impression of Xu Shu at all.
But now they still rely on him to redeem Li Mao'er, so Jiang Xiaoyu can only be patient and ask in a gentle voice: "Mr. Xu, can you make a condition now? How much does it cost to redeem her? Tell me."
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "No money is needed. I just hope that Young Master Jiang can do me a favor and let me buy this inn for fifty taels."
"Really?"
Xu Shu nodded: "Really."
"Is it really that simple?"
Xu Shu was helpless: "Really."
"Are you sure you're not kidding me? Just fifty taels to sell this inn?"
Xu Shu held his forehead with his hand: "Really."
"Okay, you sign the contract right now, and when I see the civet cat, I'll give you the title deed."
