Chapter 2027 Eliminating the Scum (5)

However, despite this, he secretly opened two shops without telling his family, one was a fur shop and the other was a pawn shop. The business was very prosperous, and he could earn three to five hundred taels of silver per month, which was more than enough.

It's a pity that he has to hide his business secretly from his family. Otherwise, if he were allowed to do it, he would earn three to fifty thousand taels of silver every year!

Now is the twelfth lunar month, the busiest season for his fur shop, with hundreds of taels of silver being traded every day. He also made a lot of money and was very comfortable.

In order to welcome his future sister-in-law, he also specially left two fine black fox skins as a meeting gift for his future sister-in-law. He had already prepared everything for the New Year at home and was waiting for his brother and sister-in-law to come back for the New Year.

On the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, he was playing chess with his father at home. Suddenly, his young man Yaoxiao came in and said to him: "Sir, just now the Prince of Jian'an sent someone to deliver a message. He wants to invite you to have dinner at Juxiang Pavilion at noon. , you see..."

After hearing this, Mu Zhongqing put down his chess piece and said, "Since you are invited by a classmate, let's go. A man must make many friends to be able to enjoy his life outside. But remember, you are not allowed to fool around outside, let alone do it outside." Something that is disgraceful to the family..."

Wu'er agreed. Although the medicine hoe came out, as soon as he got outside, the medicine hoe whispered: "Master, just now a flower came to our fur shop, holding a land deed of the fur shop more than ten years ago, saying that we The fur shop belongs to him. He just left for more than ten years and failed to take care of the fur shop on time for some reason. He also wants to go to Yingtian Mansion to sue you, saying that you have taken advantage of people's property by force.

Mu Chongwu said in surprise: "How could the fur shop I bought with real money belong to him? He is probably a madman or a liar, right?"

Yaochao said: "There is an old man in our shop who knows this Huazi. He used to be the son-in-law of the first owner of our shop. Our fur shop was originally opened to test him. After this man got married, His old employer gave him the fur shop and made him its shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, this boy was a fool. On the third day after getting married, he made a fuss about going back to worship his ancestors. In fact, the ancestor worship was a lie and he went back to see him. The concubine is the real one. Later, for some reason, I heard that in order to redeem his prostitute concubine, he stole someone else's things and was imprisoned for ten years. "

Mu Chongwu thought for a while and said: "The person you are talking about, I vaguely remember hearing my mother and sister talking about it when I was a child. It seems that he was the son-in-law of the Shen family, the former magistrate of Qing County. Was his name Li Jing or Li Qing? He was also a scholar. Well, others called him Li Sheng. When he joined the Shen family, many people said that he was lucky. He went to sister Shen, a good woman, but he didn't expect to end up in such a situation. What a pity! "

"That's right, I heard what others said. This flower boy was once a scholar or a junior student. Unfortunately, for being a prostitute, he was first deprived of his status as a scholar, and then spent ten years in jail for her. When he came out, he almost died. He died, but the prostitute had already married and had a child. He was seriously ill and had nowhere to go, but the monks in the temple kindly took him in and let him recuperate in the temple. I heard that it took him two or three years to recover. , as soon as he recovered from his illness, he struggled and went all the way to Beijing to find Master Shen and his wife. "

"Haha, he probably still thinks that Sister Shen can protect his body like a jade for him, or is still waiting for him to be his husband. How ridiculous!" Wu'er is simple and honest, and rarely laughs at people. After hearing Li Sheng's behavior, , and laughed for the first time.

Yao Xie also smiled: "That's right. He didn't grasp such a good opportunity at the beginning. Now that there are no people, ghosts and ghosts, he only thinks of regrets. Seeing that the Shen family has moved away, he actually wants to take back the shop. In the world, How could there be such a shameless person?"
