In the narrow alley.
The place was in a mess and chaos.
Ren Zilin was dumbfounded when he saw the mess on the ground and the cramped space.
Junior Sister Hei lives in a house like this
Is this house habitable
It's even worse than his stable.
Also, the mess on this ground...
This shows how excessive the Li family was at that time!
Chu Tiankuo looked around expressionlessly, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, becoming even more cold and distant.
Whenever Xing Nong saw this "perfectly protected" scene, she would be furious, but she was always able to handle her temper well. She would get angry when necessary and control herself when necessary. She said to the two people behind her calmly, "My lord, Master, this is my home."
Gu hurried out of the house, and when she saw Xingnong coming back, her eyes fell on her butt, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around, not understanding the current situation and not knowing what Xingnong was going to do, so she stood aside and said nothing.
Xingqing and Xinghui followed out and wanted to say something, but Gu shook her head at them, and they didn't say anything.
Chu Tiankuo walked to the mess on the ground, stopped, bent down and picked up a piece of broken porcelain.
He took a look at the bottom of the broken bowl and saw that there was indeed a word "Zhang" printed on it.
There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Ren Zilin leaned forward and asked, "Is this porcelain from the Zhang family's porcelain kiln?"
Chu Tiankuo didn't say anything and directly handed the porcelain piece to him.
Ren Zilin took it and said, "Hey, this character is a bit weird, isn't it..."
Isn’t this the tableware made by the head of the Zhang family himself
Ren Zilin was so surprised that he couldn't say anything after that!
Zhang's porcelain was very famous twenty years ago, and the porcelain made by the head of the Zhang family himself was only available to the rich and powerful at that time.
There were also some porcelains made by the head of the Zhang family in their house, but there were not many, only two pieces left, one was a vase and the other was a set of tea sets.
His father treated it as a family heirloom.
He glanced at the dilapidated adobe house, thoughtfully.
When Shen Mingzhu saw this, she thought it was fake Zhang's porcelain. After all, famous things would naturally be counterfeited by many small workshops, just like the wine from their Shen's winery.
She endured the pain in her buttocks, stood there, and said softly: "Sir, whether this is real porcelain from the Zhang's porcelain kiln or fake porcelain from the Zhang's porcelain kiln, I am willing to compensate cousin Xingnong according to the porcelain from the Zhang's porcelain kiln. After all, we wronged cousin."
Shen Mingzhu had already thought about it. Even if it was porcelain from Zhang's porcelain kiln, so what? It was not like her family couldn't afford to pay for it!
The most important thing now is that she has to leave a good impression in front of the county magistrate and make the county magistrate think that she is kind-hearted. After all, who doesn't like a beautiful, gentle and kind woman
As long as the county magistrate likes her, the problem of her grandmother being sent to prison and affecting her future reputation will be solved!
Ren Zilin shook his head. "No! This is not only Zhang's porcelain, but also the porcelain of the Zhang family master. It should be the earliest work of the Zhang family master. The workmanship is not so perfect, and the price is not as valuable as it was in its heyday, but if it is a complete set of tableware, it will definitely be sold in the capital. Many people will rush to buy it. I estimate that it will cost at least one hundred taels! After all, the Zhang family master's early works were destroyed because they were not perfect. I heard that there are only two sets left, which were given to friends. This is probably one of them."
One, one hundred, two? ! ! ! !
Shen Mingzhu thought that she would have to pay a maximum of a dozen taels.
This is already an outrageous price.
Of course, their family has no shortage of one hundred taels. Although one hundred taels is not a drop in the bucket for their family, it is almost there.
She could normally spend one hundred taels to buy a piece of jewelry without blinking an eye.
But she felt it was not worth it to give it to that bastard! It was not worth it at all!
She stammered, wanting to speak but unable to. Finally, she looked at Ren Zilin, reminded herself to hold it in, took a deep breath, and then smiled, saying generously and sensibly, "Since it was my grandmother who broke such a valuable thing from my cousin Xingnong's house, my family will compensate her no matter what."
He is sensible and knows when to act.
Ren Zilin nodded: "That's right. Miss Mingzhu is a sensible and reasonable person. She should pay compensation."
Shen Mingzhu was delighted to hear the county magistrate address her as Miss Mingzhu. She bowed modestly and said, "Your Excellency is too kind! I have been learning to read and write since I was young, so I naturally remember the teachings of the saints. This is my ancestral home. Your Excellency and the master, why don't you come in and discuss with my parents how much silver to compensate me? After all, the amount is quite large."
Shen Mingzhu pointed to the tall wall.
The reason why she invited this master was that she felt that he was too handsome!
What a hypocritical act... Xing Nong's eyes flashed with impatience.
Ren Zilin followed the direction of her finger and looked at the high wall: "Is this your home?"
Shen Mingzhu nodded and said sweetly, "Yes, sir. This is my family's ancestral home. My family lives in the county town, and Shen's Winery is my family's winery."
Now the county magistrate knew that he was born into a wealthy family and was not an ordinary woman, let alone a bastard like Shen Xingnong whose father was unknown!
He and I are a perfect match, right
Ren Zilin nodded and deliberately left such a narrow alley and built such a high wall to block the light from Junior Sister Hei's house.
They are from the same ancestor!
It seems that Junior Sister Hei’s family has been bullied a lot on a daily basis.
It is true that he is rich but unkind!
Shen’s Winery, right
He will ask someone to check whether the taxes have been paid in full!
"There's no need to go to your house! You should compensate Miss Shen Xingnong 120 taels! As for her mother's medical expenses, ask the clinic to issue a receipt and you can pay according to the price!"
Junior Sister Hei is so miserable.
The house they lived in was even worse than his woodshed. Considering that she was able to lead him out of the peach forest and let him worship Master Tang as her teacher, he helped her to get more silver.
So that she can buy land and build a house as soon as possible!
Shen Mingzhu: "One hundred and twenty taels?"
Forget about Zhang’s porcelain!
How can these junk be worth twenty taels
Mr. County Magistrate, do you count one tael of silver as one penny
"What? Is there a problem?" Ren Zilin raised his eyebrows.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "No, no problem! This is what I should do."
Ren Zilin nodded: "Well, since there is no problem, then you should prepare the silver and compensate Miss Shen Xingnong!"
"good."
Xing Nong: "Sir, let the Shen family hand over the silver to the government office, and I will go and get it."
Ren Zilin was surprised when he heard this: "Oh? Why? Wouldn't it be more convenient to give it to you directly?"
Xing Nong: "It's convenient for the government office."
Shen Mingzhu was furious.
What does this dead bastard mean
How could the government office be convenient
Was she deliberately hinting in front of the county magistrate that her family would not give her money or would make things difficult for her
She said innocently, "Cousin Xingnong, don't you believe me? When did I break my promise? I..."
Xing Nong pressed his ear irritably: "Sorry, I've never seen you keep your promise."
Shen Mingzhu: “… ”
