Chapter 18 Liuli Laojun
Zhou Sen was in great danger. In order to prevent Xiao Zhuyu from committing suicide and to appease her, he could only reluctantly agree to let Xiao Zhuyu stay in the Tianshi Mansion first and arranged for her to stay in a side room, but he made it clear that he was a Taoist priest now and could not marry.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, Zhou Sen climbed through the window and sneaked into Xiangcao's room to appease the angry Xiangcao, ready to explain to her. As soon as he entered the room, before he turned around, Xiangcao put the sword on Zhou Sen's neck. He said coldly: "Why are you in my room in the middle of the night? Are you going to die?" Zhou Sen replied with a smile: "Senior sister, be careful with your sword, it's very sharp. I'm here to explain to you." Xiangcao raised the sword half an inch away and said coldly: "Huh, I'm just your senior sister, you don't have to explain to me." Zhou Sen said shamelessly: "Senior sister, you are my wife for this life, I must explain to you. I saved people in a hurry that day, and I really didn't mean to see Miss Xiao's body. Besides, you didn't see it either." Xiangcao replied angrily: "I am a woman, can what I see be the same as what you see? Besides, what kind of person you are, I know it. You can say it's not intentional at a glance, but you can look at it for a long time without blinking. Pervert."
Zhou Sen continued, "Sister, you really wronged me. And it wasn't me who insisted on keeping Miss Xiao here today. You see what happened today. If I didn't agree to let Miss Xiao stay, she would have tried to commit suicide. Besides, if I let her go back, she would probably be sold by her father again, or caught by Mr. Wang's family, and she might be beaten to death in the future." Xiangcao was thinking and didn't respond. Zhou Sen continued, "Sister, if you don't agree, I will arrange for someone to send her back to Mr. Wang's family, or to her own home tomorrow." Xiangcao refused anxiously, "No, you want to..." Pushing a good girl into the fire pit?" Zhou Sen said with delight: "Then senior sister, I'll listen to you and keep her first. Don't worry, senior sister, I definitely don't have any improper thoughts about her, there is only you in my heart, not her." Xiangcao rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen and sneered: "With your character, how could I not know that you dared to touch me when you just woke up, and looked at Miss Xiao with the eyes of a hungry wolf." Zhou Sen said to Xiangcao coquettishly: "Senior sister...how can you look at me like this." Xiangcao couldn't bear Zhou Sen's smug look, so she kicked Zhou Sen out of the room, closed the door, and ignored Zhou Sen.
The next morning, Xiao Zhuyu got up early, prepared breakfast, and prepared to serve Zhou Sen. "My benefactor, I have prepared some water for you. I will help you change your clothes and wash up." Zhou Sen, who was still half asleep, suddenly woke up. "Miss Xiao, there is no need to do this. I can get up by myself. And don't call me benefactor in the future. It sounds awkward." Xiao Zhuyu drooped her face and wanted to cry. She said, "My benefactor, do you dislike me?" Zhou Sen couldn't bear to see a girl crying, and hurriedly replied, "How can I dislike you? I am not used to being served by others when I get up." This is not uncomfortably, but clearly afraid that he can't control himself. If he is watched by such a beautiful woman during morning erection, who can resist it? "Okay, then I won't help you get up in the future. Benefactor, if I don't call you benefactor, then can I call you Mumu like I do to you, senior sister?" Zhou Sen nodded. He heard the sound of an iron sword chopping a wooden stake violently in the yard. Today, senior sister practiced swordplay very hard.
After a good breakfast and some morning exercises, the county magistrate Shangguan Wuhou came with the families of the rescued people to express their gratitude. After Zhao Tiechui led everyone into the lobby, they exchanged greetings. Everyone wanted to offer gifts of thanks, but Zhou Sen refused again and again, but failed to do so. Many family members presented different gifts according to their wealth and occupations. There were simple daily necessities, cloth, horses, and the like, as well as precious gold, silver, jewelry, and the like. When the richest family in Changnan, the Shen family, brought their young lady Shen Qianrou, to present a glazed statue of Laojun, everyone gasped and looked surprised. When the county magistrate Shangguan Wuhou saw the statue, his eyes sparkled with gold. They all said that the Shen family was really generous. They praised each other for the wonderful carving of this glazed statue, which was rare in the world. Zhou Sen was wondering, a glass statue of an old man, so shocking to everyone. Zhou Sen didn't think much about it. The gift may be small but the sentiment is great. The statue of Liuli Laojun is quite good. After all, I am a Taoist priest, so it is just right.
After everyone had given their gifts, they all knew that Zhou Sen had just settled down, and his family had not prepared any food or servants. So they did not stay too long, and Zhou Sen reluctantly said goodbye. When Zhou Sen finally saw Shangguan Wuhou off, Shangguan Wuhou kept thinking about the glass statue of Laojun, and felt that it was really a good thing.
When Zhou Sen returned to the main hall, he found Xiangcao, Xiao Zhuyu and Zhao Tiechui surrounded the glazed statue of Laojun and were full of praise. Xiangcao couldn't let it go. Zhou Sen was wondering, is this glazed statue very rare? "Senior sister, since you like this Laojun statue, why don't you put it in your room?" Xiangcao replied, "I can't put the glazed statue of Laojun in my room. I often wield swords and knives. What if it gets broken?" Zhou Sen replied, "Just break it if it gets broken. How can I not be willing to give up something that Senior sister likes?" Xiangcao replied with relief, "You are willing to give it up, but I am not."
Xiao Zhuyu saw Zhou Sen's confusion, so she explained to him, "Husband, do you know how much this statue costs?" Husband, she called Zhou Sen husband. Xiangcao's eyes suddenly became sharp. Zhao Tiechui couldn't wait to see a good show. Zhou Sen replied awkwardly, "Miss Xiao, can you please stop calling me husband? You can call me by my name." Xiao Zhuyu said as if no one was around, "Okay, then husband, don't call me Miss Xiao in the future, can you just call me by my name?" Zhou Sen couldn't stand Xiangcao's murderous eyes, so he quickly changed the subject, "Zhuyu, isn't this just a glass statue of an old man? How much is it worth?" Xiao Zhuyu explained, "Glass, what is glass? This is a colored glaze statue. When I was a child, I saw my grandfather get a colored glaze statue. It was not as transparent and bigger than this one. It was sold for more than 800 taels at the time. I think the price of this one is at least over a thousand taels." "What? This thing is worth a thousand taels." Zhou Sen asked in surprise. Xiangcao, Xiao Zhuyu, and Zhao Tiechui gave Zhou Sen a positive nod. Wouldn't the price be higher if it was transparent? Everyone nodded.
Zhou Sen was so happy. This glass statue was worth a thousand taels. It was like seeing a mountain of gold and silver rolling towards him. Seeing Zhou Sen was stunned, everyone thought that Zhou Sen was frightened by the price. They hurriedly shook Zhou Sen to bring him back to life. Unexpectedly, a huge wealth plan had already taken shape in Zhou Sen's mind. Zhou Sen did not say it directly, but wanted to go back to the room to think it over. So he said, "You can each pick one of these gifts that you like. Then register the rest and send them to the warehouse." After that, he walked into the bedroom with the glass statue. Xiangcao, Xiao Zhuyu, and Zhao Tiechui also picked their gifts happily.
