Chapter Four: Debt Collection
Zhou Zhiyu changed his clothes, but red still suited him. He put on some rouge and gouache, and looked in the bronze mirror. He was sick enough. It was okay. Anyway, Zhao Qingmei would break off the engagement with the Li family in the future, which would save him trouble.
Now that he has successfully entered the Zhao family, the next step is to gain the trust of the Zhao family siblings. That little girl should be easy to conquer.
When I came to the front hall, I saw the Zhao siblings eating.
Why is this monster here? When they saw Zhou Zhiyu, Zhao Qingmei felt dizzy. She held her forehead and turned away, thinking that she would forget about this big trouble and send him out tomorrow.
Zhou Zhiyu immediately put on a coquettish look, walked slowly to Zhao Qingmei and sat down, "Meimei, why don't you call me husband and have dinner with you?"
Zhao Qingmei took a deep breath and said with a smile, "First of all, who are you? What's your name, home address, studio? And we are not married, and you are not my husband. Please respect yourself."
Hearing Zhao Qingmei's reply, Zhou Zhiyu immediately frowned and said aggrievedly, "Meimei, I will introduce myself now. I am Zhou Yu, Feather's Yu. I am from Kyoto. My family is a small business. I will not wrong you in the future."
, let’s get married right away, okay? I, Zhou Yusheng, am yours, and I will be your ghost if I die.”
Ah? She really knows how to act coquettishly. If this is a woman, there really is no man who can keep her mind pure. Hey, Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, hey.
Zhao Qingmei turned around and shouted back, "That's enough, be serious, men need masculinity, Zhou Yu."
Oops, little girl, I don’t like this one. I will change it another day. Zhou Zhiyu remained silent. When he noticed someone coming, he saw a figure at the door.
Seeing the person behind Xiao Zhang, Zhao Qingfei was immediately overjoyed, stood up, greeted him and said with a smile, "It's Brother Zhou Jing, why are you here?"
Zhou Renjing smiled and nodded and said, "Brother Qing Fei, long time no see. How are you doing?"
"fine."
When Zhou Zhiyu saw the person coming, he gave an imperceptible smile. He didn't expect it to be his eldest nephew. The Zhao family was really lively.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Renjing also caught a glimpse of Zhou Zhiyu, his fifth uncle. He didn't expect it, but it was normal. Others should have received the news.
Was he smiling, or was he smiling at himself? Zhao Qingmei looked at the person who came in, and then at the monster beside him, couldn't he? Zhou Yu too? No, it must be an illusion.
Zhao Qingfei introduced Zhou Renjing enthusiastically, "Sister, this is Zhou Jing. We met him when we were traveling before. Zhou Jing is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of the world's wonders."
Feifei smiled. He hadn't seen him in the past few days. It was rare. Zhao Qingmei immediately greeted him, "Brother Zhou Jing, come on, sit down. You probably haven't eaten yet, so let's eat first."
Zhou Renjing nodded and followed Zhao Qingfei to sit down. Zhou Zhiyu looked at Zhou Renjing, who also had a fake name and was from the same path.
When leaving Zhou Jing's room, Zhao Qingfei's face was very happy. Unexpectedly, Brother Zhou Jing went to many interesting places and saw different customs and customs.
It sounded very interesting. Wuyin followed behind him. The young master had not been so happy for a long time.
"Come out, Uncle Five Emperors."
Hum, he was still so ignorant. Zhou Zhiyu opened the door directly from the outside and came in. He saw Zhou Renjing drinking tea leisurely. His eldest nephew was still like that. This was the most proud son of the emperor's brother.
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Zhou Renjing looked at Zhou Zhiyu with a pair of pink eyes, "Uncle Five Emperors really only loves the color red."
---
Things at home came to an end for the time being. After Zhao Qingfei got up, he left the Zhao family and went to school. After all, he still wanted to take the imperial examination if he had the chance.
"Brother Zhou Jing, will you come with me?"
Zhou Jing nodded. During this period, he temporarily stayed at Zhao's house. As he said yesterday, he was looking for his lost sister and received news in Anyu City.
In fact, there was no sister. Zhou Zhiyu was sitting on the beauty pole under the verandah, looking at the Zhao family leisurely. It might be a good thing that his eldest nephew was here.
The sun is shining down, it is really a beautiful day, but there are dark clouds in the distance. Things really change on this day. Some people will be unable to hold back. This is an opportunity for performance.
Zhou Zhiyu stood up and jumped up and down to find Zhao Qingmei. This little girl arranged herself in the most remote courtyard of the Zhao mansion, next to her cousin Wei Yanyan. This woman also wandered at the door several times.
After sleeping until dawn, Zhao Qingmei felt really comfortable. After Zhao Qingmei got up, she briefly washed and got dressed. Today's plan was to make an inventory of the entire Zhao family's property.
Zhao Qingmei asked Yuan Yuan next to her, "Yuan Yuan, where is the young master?"
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the young master must have gone to school early. Yuanyuan, holding the copper basin, replied, "The young master has gone to school and will be back in the afternoon."
Yes, Feifei should be only fifteen years old, still at school age.
As soon as he came out of the yard, he saw Butler Jiang walking quickly towards him. The first wave of enemies was coming, and Zhao Qingmei was a quarrel fighter, so he was not afraid.
Zhao Qingmei stepped forward to greet him, "Uncle Jiang, slow down, why are you so panicked?"
Seeing the young lady, Uncle Jiang stopped and was out of breath. He tried to adjust his breathing rhythm and said, "Miss, young lady, someone from the Li family is here."
Li family? Or Li Feng? No, it should be Li Changhe, Li Feng's father. That person has a bad impression. Zhao Qingmei is very annoying, even afraid, but she never expresses it in front of her parents.
He is really an old fox, with clever words and charming words. His father has a good impression of Li Changhe, but he is a little unexpected. He thought that the Qian family would be the first to come, and he was really looking forward to meeting Qian Yingying, a girl who talks over tea.
In the past, Zhao Qingmei had always wondered how a girl like this could be loved by Li Feng. In fact, Zhao Qingmei knew very well about Li Feng.
When he came to the hall and saw that the Li family had arrived, Li Changhe looked at Zhao Qingmei proudly. This old fox really couldn't hold himself back anymore. Don't let yourself down next time.
Zhao Qingmei immediately quickened her pace and walked up, saluting politely, and asked, "Hello, Uncle Li. Why do you have time to come to the house in person? The Li family has broken off their engagement with the Zhao family. I wonder what else can happen?"
Are you still talking about breaking off the engagement? This Zhao Qingmei really wants to marry into the Li family. She is delusional. Li Changhe sneered, "Miss Zhao is overthinking. Li came here today to collect debts."
Debt collection? In Zhao Qingmei's mind, her parents have always been diligent and diligent. They shouldn't be her parents, could they be Feifei? That's not right. Feifei looks like a standard social-phobic person at first glance.
After a few days of contact, they are all taciturn, and they don’t want to go out to enjoy themselves, let alone gamble. Uncle? Brother-in-law?
At first, she was still pretending to be polite. When someone came to make trouble, there was no need to be polite. Zhao Qingmei turned around, walked to the main seat, sat down directly, without panic at all, picked up the teacup prepared on the table.
He said coldly, "Show evidence, empty words don't count."
Zhao Wenbei and Zhao Wendi who came in a hurry came to the hall and saw that the Li family broke off their engagement yesterday and came to the house to collect debts with discounts today. This really made matters worse.
Zhao Wenbei pushed down the eldest brother beside him, "Brother, why don't you go and help Qing Mei?"
Looking back at his third brother, Wendi Zhao scratched his head and said, "How can I help?"
"have no idea."
The third brother didn't know what to do? He didn't even know. Zhao Wendi looked at the people around him anxiously, oops.
However, I originally thought that Zhao Qingmei was dignified and quiet, but now that he is sitting in the main seat in the hall, his aura is really unmatched.
Zhou Zhiyu originally thought he could see the little girl crying, but he didn't expect it to be a good show. It's interesting. If he can defeat the Li family today, then few people in Anyu City dare to bully Zhao Qingmei.
Standing silently in the crowd, Zhou Zhiyu likes to wait for opportunities.
Li Changhe immediately took out the folded paper from his sleeve and threw it on the table. Zhao Qingmei raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Changhe in front of him. He was really prepared. Now Zhao Qingmei is really going to challenge the emperor.
I don't have anything to fear from local gangsters.
Picking up the paper on the table and opening it, it read "IOU".
I, Zhao Wenfeng, owe money to the Li family, Li Changhe, for an amount of 500 million gold, which cannot be returned in the future, and I will use the entire Zhao family property as a mortgage.
, signed by Zhao Wenfeng, and dated December 29, 222, Dajing Year.
Zhao Qingmei read it out loud, looked carefully at the signature of the signer, then looked at the content, and put it on the table. Zhao Wenbei and Zhao Wendi looked at each other, it was impossible, their brothers were steady and steady, how could they ask for it?
The Li family borrowed money, and it was still 500 million gold.
Li Changhe said arrogantly, "It is clearly written in black and white on the paper. Today your Zhao family needs to return 500 million gold to my Li family."
