I studied abroad in modern times

It was almost evening, and the red sunset hung in the sky, dyeing the clouds in the sky rouge.

Under the sunset, there were many more people around the Zheng family courtyard.

The lady was followed by only Wu, but there were many servants of the Zhao family behind her.

They were smart, probably because they found that the lady not only did not dislike them following her, but also seemed to be quite indulgent. Although they did not dare to get close, they also gathered in groups of three or two in the distance.

Some swept the floor, some pruned the branches, and everyone looked straight ahead, but their ears were erected.

Zheng Fa's family was originally located in a relatively remote area of ​​the Zhao family. When had the flowers and trees around it enjoyed so many people serving them? At one time, there were three people around a tree, and it was not enough.

Gao Yuan in front of Zheng Fa slowly turned his head and glanced at the lady who was less than three meters away from him. When he looked back at Zheng Fa, he was so scared that he almost stuttered.

"Madam...didn't you hear what I said?"

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Madam is a cultivator."

"..."

"Don't cry, you praised her for being young."

Gao Yuan's face was pale, and he was not comforted at all.

Can he praise Madam's appearance?

But Madam walked past Gao Yuan, as if she didn't see him, and her eyes were always on Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa still bowed first.

Unexpectedly, Madam also bowed slightly.

Gao Yuan on the side opened his mouth wide, and the frustration on his face was replaced by disbelief - he didn't seem to worry that Madam was angry now, but was a little worried that Madam was crazy.

The group of servants behind Madam were also in a commotion, and they couldn't help looking over here.

"Madam, please come in and talk." Zheng Fa saw such a movement and said directly with his body sideways.

Madam was stunned, looked at Zheng Fa twice, and didn't say anything but just followed Zheng Fa into the courtyard.

Zheng's mother and younger sister stood in the courtyard, bowing to Madam, looking quite restrained.

Madam also stopped and returned the greetings to the two men seriously.

This sudden and solemn respect made Zheng's mother freeze in place. She didn't know where to put her hands. She just whispered: "How can this be done? How can this be done..."

Zheng Fa nodded to his mother to comfort her and invited Madam to the lobby.

"I still underestimated you."

"Madam, why do you say that?" Zheng Fa was a little puzzled why Madam said this right away.

"Young men of your age love glory the most. I wanted to please you and deliberately give you this glory in front of so many servants, but you seemed unmoved and invited me in."

I don't know whether it was because of Madam's frankness or her intention to please Zheng Fa, so that when she talked about these slightly superficial tricks, it wouldn't be too annoying.

"Well... Actually, I'm a little happy." Zheng Fa said after a silence.

"Hmm?"

"It's just that you are the mother of the Seventh Young Master."

"Just for him? So you don't want me to lose face?" Hearing this, the lady finally had a genuine smile in her eyes.

"Also, when my father passed away, you gave me ten taels of silver."

This matter has always been on Zheng's mother's lips.

No matter why the lady gave the silver, the Zheng family was in the most difficult time at that time. Zheng's father's funeral required money, Zheng Fa was not yet grown up, and the family's financial situation plummeted.

To exaggerate, these ten taels of silver saved the lives of a family of three.

The lady's face was quite moved, and her eyes looking at Zheng Fa finally became serious.

She understood what Zheng Fa meant by saying this-

At the beginning, you thought I was difficult to control, and you thought that scaring me would make me obey, which was underestimated me.

Now you think that I have forgotten everything and even ungrateful after gaining power, which is even more underestimated me.

After looking at Zheng Fa for a long time, she sighed and said, "Should I say that you are not surprised by praise or criticism, or that you are more arrogant than I thought. If it is true that fools have good luck, then Zhao Jingfan will be a fool for eight lifetimes if he meets you."

"..."

She seemed to have lost the cautious attitude she had before, and clapped her hands.

Wu, the housekeeper, took over a box.

The box was opened, and there was a stack of deeds.

Madam took out the top three.

"This is your family's indenture. I have ordered Wu to go to the government tomorrow to cancel your slavery."

This is as it should be.

Although it is just a fairy order, no servant of the Zhao family has been able to get it for thousands of years. Even the descendants of the Zhao family have to fight for this thing every ten years. Even Madam herself sometimes cannot decide who owns the fairy order.

What's more, in Madam's eyes, with the attention of Master Zhang, Zheng Fa will definitely pass the fairy meeting.

It would be a joke to use this contract to control a disciple of the immortal sect.

The lady did not seem to focus on this, but pointed to the contracts below.

"I was originally going to use these properties to make amends. Now that you are no longer members of my Zhao family, you should have some properties to rely on." The lady was silent for a while and said, "It seems petty to talk about making amends now. Why not use it as tuition for my stupid son?"

"Property?" Zheng's mother, who was standing aside, was already in a trance because her family had suddenly escaped from slavery. Now she heard the word "property" and became even more panicked: "The Gao family has already given us a ready-made clothing store."

The lady was politely silent.

Zheng Fa read a sentence from her face: You also call it property?

For Zheng's mother, that ready-made clothing store was indeed a great property.

Zheng Fa planned to give the shop accounts to his younger sister Zheng Shan in the future, also to train her ability.

But Zheng Fa was still in charge of it now. He knew that the shop's profit was not much lower after it was transferred from the hands of the senior family to Zheng's mother.

There was still a net profit of more than ten taels a month.

This was an astronomical figure for Zheng's mother, who was still a farmer a few months ago.

Zheng Fa flipped through the deeds in the box.

There was also a surprised expression on his face.

The lady was very generous. He saw several shops on the main road of Jingzhou City. Every time he passed by, the business in the shop was very lively.

Unexpectedly, they were all the property of the Zhao family, and they were all placed in the box by the lady for Zheng Fa to choose.

There were also eight or nine deeds of the houses in Jingzhou City, more than half of which were deep houses and courtyards, located in the most prosperous West City mentioned by the old man driving the cart.

No wonder the lady had such an expression on her face.

Zheng Fa thought for a long time and pushed the box in front of the lady.

"What? Unsatisfied?" Madam frowned slightly, and then said bluntly: "These properties are indeed not the most valuable. I still have a few good shops in my dowry."

"No, Madam is very sincere, but it's too expensive." Zheng Fa shook his head.

"Expensive?" Madam suddenly laughed: "You probably don't know that Master Zhang's words "You are much more valuable than what she taught you?"

"Huh?"

"Do you know how much it cost Lan'er to invite Master Zhang?"

"I don't know." Zheng Fa shook his head.

"No money." When she said these three words, the lady had a look of disappointment on her face: "The Yuanying ancestor who founded the Zhao family was indebted to Master Zhang's master, so he got this favor... This favor is too valuable."

"What are these properties?"

Zheng Fa shook his head and said to the lady: "I said it's too valuable, it's... poor people who suddenly become rich are prone to disasters."

The lady stared at him fiercely, and when she spoke again, she gritted her teeth in incomprehension:

"With your character, that fool can make a friend like you, he is my own son, I also want to ask why?"

... You will flatter one and trample the other.
