Chapter 131: Old Man Huang of the Concierge
The noon sun shines into Lao Bu's grocery store, which looks like a vicissitudes of life, but the actual age seems to be in his fifties, Lao Bu is lying on a chair and smoking a cigarette pouch.
It's smoky, it's smoky,
The high-ranking officials will be busy before and after, squatting on the ground and wiping things, cleaning the room spotlessly, even the iron tools that are piled together have been wiped with rags several times.
Let the old cloth have to scold loudly, "You stupid boy, those shovels and scissors don't need to be wiped off, you get wet and rusty." ”
The high-ranking official smirked, but he was very diligent in working for Lao Bu in the past few days.
Lao Bu didn't care about this stupid boy anymore, but he knew in his heart that this child who came to his own small shop halfway to be a buddy was a sincere person, in addition to being able to eat and drink, there was nothing bad about it, a few days ago this kid also brought back a big carp from the edge of the pond, and it was braised directly.
The two of them also drank two sips together, and then they felt that this kid seemed to have something unspeakable.
This has been here for more than half a year, and he has never seen this kid's virtue, Lao Bu still thinks that after a while, he will let him learn blacksmith work with those people in the backyard.
If you are really talented, Lao Bu can personally teach for a few years, the old saying is called more skills are not pressing, although it is a peaceful time in recent years, but if you can't keep it, you will usher in chaos, of course, if it comes to that era, as a blacksmith will definitely suffer some sins,
Those who can't keep it will be requisitioned to make weapons for the government, whether it is steel guns and iron armor, or arrows and longbows, although it is the Privy Council that manages this in the government.
Lao Bu caught up with that time, and was conscripted to make weapons, armor, because of this old man's superb craftsmanship, he was once a well-known figure, including that Linglong Fang, which was once set up by this old man, relying on this person's skillful hands.
In Lao Bu's words, it's just a skill to maintain life, no matter how powerful it is, it can't compare to the one called Shi Kai, and the weapon made by Shi Kai will be very vaguely hidden on the front and back of the two crosses, and loading them together is not just an open word.
Although the Qinglong Dynasty once restricted, anyone who has a weapon forged by Shi Kai will be hit with fifty boards at the lightest, and the head will fall to the ground, and the weapon must be handed over.
But this was all more than ten years ago, and now it is gradually dull, maybe it is also because the man named Shi Kai seems to have disappeared, in this world, if you want to say that the weapon from Shi Kai's hand, if you want to say that you have seen it, it is only the wind knife in the hand of Chu Jingjue a few days ago,
Lao Bu smoked a cigarette pouch, his eyes were a little cloudy, he knocked on the clean bluestone slab, knocked the cigarette pouch pot, looked up at the sun, "It seems to be time for lunch, high official." ”
The high-ranking official cleaned up the ashes on the ground and hurriedly stood up, "Why don't I go to Fuxing Restaurant and order you a few servings of food, plus a pot of flower carvings?"
Lao Bu smiled with a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Then dare to be kind, go get a serious pig intestine, two catties of cooked beef, and you can do the rest at will." “
And he stretched out his hand, and took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, and brought them to the high officials.
The blacksmith shop in Lao Bu's backyard also employs locals, and they usually return to their respective homes to eat at noon, leaving high-ranking officials and Lao Bu alone here.
The senior official waved his hand and patted the small pocket on his waist, "I have the silver in my hand, I'll go to Fuxing Restaurant now, you wait a while." ”
Lao Bu waved his hand and continued to light a cigarette pouch,
Looking at the figure of the stupid boy running out, he muttered in his mouth, "This kid usually picks and searches, why is he so generous today." ”
High-ranking officials usually work as young men, just live in the small courtyard at the back, this old cloth is also a person, even the last time I came to see him at the display cabinet of the Linglong Fang, high-ranking officials rarely see it, he never asked this old man,
Last time he was rescued by the man in white, so he went straight back to the shop, and caught a big carp from the pond, and the guy with a whirlwind on his face didn't tell him what his name was, but just told himself that he would go to Jinfu Tower in a few days, and naturally someone would receive him,
The man in white is none other than Song Jinghong,
At the beginning, Song Jinghong was able to mention this hairy boy and let him be a little apprentice, which was already the greatest gift to high-ranking officials.
Martial arts cultivation for Song Jinghong, who has reached the realm of a small grandmaster, even if it is no longer obvious in the eyes of outsiders, but a martial arts master who has cultivated to the realm of Tongxuan still has his own vision.
Since this high-ranking official can be favored by Song Jinghong, whether it is destined or an unexpected fate, it may also be a great opportunity for a high-ranking official, or it may also be the beginning of a disaster.
One is the widow of Emperor Yu Qing of the Qinglong No., and the other is a lonely and helpless wanderer, the similarity between them is that they are all lonely people, as the big showcase of the Rouge Workshop, the founder of the Black Wind Society, Song Jinghong's vision and dream seem to be more than just the improvement of martial arts cultivation, he was brought up by Han Shen,
There will not be another child in this world who will be accompanied by the Heavenly Demon God Monarch to grow up, although the decades of life on Jiudu Mountain have brought Song Jinghong a little loneliness, but under the infection of Han Shen's domineering character, although he did not do it, the apprentice of the person who came to do it was nominally an adoptive father,
Song Jinghong once thought about comparing himself with Song Tai, the biggest red prince of the Qinglong Dynasty, but after all, he was just a posthumous son who had been stinking for thousands of years, and Song Luo's edict was only in the imperial city, and then it was banned, and Song Jinghong's name was only known to a few old ministers in the court.
Not to mention what is he in Song Tai's eyes?
The high-ranking official rushed all the way to Fuxing Restaurant to buy wine and vegetables, he wanted to talk to Lao Bu several times, he met a martial arts master, that person also said that he wanted to be an apprentice, that person can repel the master of the martial arts of the Dapan realm with a single movement of his fingers,
If that guy named Zhang Linquan hadn't come forward as an inexplicable monk, the high-ranking official believed that he would have died in that pond.
The man with a strange whirlwind wrapped in his face, he told himself in person, and he would follow him in the future, at that time, the high-ranking officials were shocked, and they were chased and killed by a Yan Lingwei, which was already a shocking thing, and he just told others that he offended Yan Lingwei, and who would believe it,
The senior official knew the horror of Yan Lingwei from the mouth of Fu Changnian at the beginning, and the high-ranking official who had not fully recovered from the fight in the alley that night, and whose shoulder bones had not been fully recovered, sometimes still felt pain.
He never thought that a teenager would be hunted down by a big Iwa Takefu, if he hadn't met the man in white, he would definitely be dead, he didn't want to be affected by this accident.
When he was the most helpless and hesitant and hungry, it was Lao Bu who took him in, gave him food, and gave him a place to live, and the senior officials were naturally grateful in their hearts, and they didn't want to offend Yan Lingwei until Lao Bu was involved in the end, the most important thing was that Yan Lingwei knew that he was still alive.
I was shocked to find out that I killed one that night, and this kind of grudge is not something that can be explained clearly in a word, and I may be hunted down and killed in the future, Yan Lingwei of the Qinglong Dynasty is a hungry ghost, this is what the drunk said.
He thought that if he wanted to find an opportunity, he would tell Lao Bu directly about what he was leaving, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and he didn't know that after he left in the future, he would be the only one left in Lao Bu's shop.
The woman kept calling Lao Bu to call him grandpa, but he didn't know that Lao Bu still had a son, so he sighed and ran to Fuxing Restaurant......
The porter on the Assassin's Mansion is surnamed Huang, he is an old man, he is thin, and he doesn't know what relationship he came to the Assassin's Mansion to be the gatekeeper, three taels of silver a month, but it is also moisturized.
At this time, the old man Huang was sitting under the stump, and he saw a young man running over from a distance.
This young man is Chu Jingjue, he hurried to Li Shaofu's house, he naturally came to find He Taifu, because now it seems that only He Taifu can deal with that Zen Yi monk, Chu Jingjue didn't say anything to Chu Wuji about this matter,
Just now he jumped out of the high wall next to his courtyard, and he could hear the noise in the Chu family's compound from a distance, because those disciples of Ling Wuzong lived in the Chu family yesterday, and now they should all get up to eat, he thought in his heart that the girl named Ling Zhu'er came,
When I thought of that little girl, if she stripped off in the morning and stood on the mountain road, especially if the Zen monk still met, it would be a fun thing, he was in a hurry to escape, otherwise, he must hide in the grass to appreciate the embarrassment of the Zen monk.
He didn't know that it was because Ling Zhu'er was missing, and at this time, the Chu family's compound was in a mess.
Chu Jingjue ran a few steps forward, and the old man Huang of the porter smiled at himself with his mouth of missing front teeth, he was naturally familiar with Chu Jingjue, this little guy always ran to Assassin Shi's house to play, and it was said that he was also the little friend of Young Master Li Shaofu, this old man Huang naturally did not dare to stop him,
This morning, a few horsemen came to the Thorn Shi Mansion, although the horse was not a floating horse ridden by the Qingzhou garrison, but the momentum was not weak at all.
Originally, Lao Huang was going to run to the yard to report, but the middle-aged man with the Chinese character face threw five taels of silver to himself, this old man Huang looked at people but was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, especially the person's temperament that made people stay away, and Old Man Huang didn't dare to stop him.
Those who can come to assassinate the Shifu are either dignitaries or princes, and Old Man Huang is uneducated and knows it in his heart.
The man with the face of the Chinese character entered the door directly, followed by a white-haired old man with a figure similar to himself, who seemed to be many years older than himself, but gave people a lifeless feeling.
There was also a man in a red robe, whom he had seen before, saying that it was Master Guo,
The one who shocked Old Man Huang the most was a white dress, wearing a hood on his head, and a white gauze scarf covering his face, and that hazy gauze scarf was naturally this could not stop the woman's beauty.
Old man Huang is this age, and his heart is pounding unconsciously, and the whole person stands in place stupidly for a long time.
At this time, his heart was still haunted by the appearance of the woman in white......
When he saw Chu, he was shocked to see that little ghost running over, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Come to our house to find the young master again, you go inside, I can tell you, there are a few nobles in our house today, boy, you have to be careful." ”
Old man Huang got five taels of silver before, and he was naturally happy in his heart, and when he met Chu Jingjue, he spoke even more lovingly, this old man is alone, he is in his sixties, and he can still be a gatekeeper in the mansion of Lord Thorn Shi, for him he is already a man with green smoke from the ancestral tomb,
As soon as Chu was shocked to hear Old Man Huang's words, he stood up directly, turned around and asked, "Nobleman, is there a noble person in the red robe last time?"
He knew that what the old man said was true, but the old man told him to be careful, and he didn't know why he said that.
"The lord of the red robe is also here again, or accompanied by a few masters, looking at the red robe is also standing behind and following, I look at the man with the face of the national character must be not small, I can tell you, the Chu family boy, that kind of noble person is not small, you go directly to the young master, but don't go around." ”
Old man Huang confessed a few words, and then continued to be in a daze, his heart surrounded the woman in white who was graceful and exuded the taste of a mature woman, and thought that if he had time, he must go to the back street of Rouge Fang to be chic for a while, five taels of silver should be enough for one time, and the back street of Rouge Fang is full of some cheap goods.
borrowed the light of the rouge shop, and the back street was also brightly lit, and the men and women were so lively.
Chu was shocked to hear that the red-robed man was coming again, his heart tightened, he turned around and said to Old Man Huang, but took out a silver ingot in his hand, "Uncle Huang, you can do me a favor, you go to Fuxing Restaurant, you find a person named Yang Ping, he is the owner of Fuxing Restaurant, let him help me get six catties of beef, twenty full heads, a few gourd carvings, just help me throw it in from the outer wall of my house, this money will be given to you, and the rest is all yours, okay?"
As soon as Old Man Huang saw the ingot of silver, there were fifty taels, his heart blossomed, and he took it directly, waving his big hand, "Okay, okay, I'll go now, anyway, the house is very chaotic now, and you don't have to squat here all the time, good boy, you are rich, haha." ”
He didn't ask why he threw beef into the wall, he calculated in his heart how much he could have left in addition to buying beef and other food, but he muttered, "Oh, look at the Chu family boy, this rich man knows how to take care of us, this old man, he is more generous than those dignitaries, what a good person." ”
This old man Huang had fifty taels more in his arms, so he directly began to dislike the five taels of silver given by others, thinking that this would be enough to go to the backstreets a few times.
Chu was shocked to confess the doorman and walked to the Thorn History Mansion, he naturally believed that although the old man Huang looked a little shrunken, the old man was said to have been brought back by Li Shaofu from outside as a subordinate, and he didn't know how this Li Shaofu and the thin old man met, he never asked,
The old man's eyes were a little cloudy, but his temperament was a real person, Chu was shocked to think about why that Guo servant came to assassinate Shifu again, that red-robed man was eyeing himself, and he didn't want to meet him again for a while, so he hurriedly went to find Mrs. He, and then hurried away,
The more cautious he became, the more he met people he shouldn't have met in this huge thorn compound.
