Chapter 525: The Master of the Tang Mansion is nervous
Tang Bohu pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, I think it's too simple, can it work?"
"As long as Miss Qiuxiang is willing to go out with you to drink tea, eat and watch a play, this matter has already become eighty percent, and if you can make her laugh, this matter will be managed. Ω pen fun Ω "Pavilion". At the same time, you should also ask her often, talk to her, tell about the ridiculous things that were born in you, don't be ashamed, as long as she loves you, she will not feel ashamed of you, and it is the best and most effective to use yourself as a joke. However, don't mention those things you did in the Qinglou, and you can't mention them again in the future. ”
Tang Bohu said: "I know, I'm stupid, how could I tell the woman I love about going to the kiln." ”
"That's fine, go back and buy a joke book first, then practice telling jokes, and then follow the steps I said, and if that doesn't work, come back to me. ”
Tang Bohu nodded, he was completely convinced of the situation now, and left happily.
Besides, I also laughed in my heart, and felt that I had a fight with the Wang Po in "Water Margin", which was simply a Ma Boliu. He thought about it for a while, fortunately he met Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang, and he didn't meet Ximenqing and Pan Jinlian, otherwise he would have to match these two people into adultery, in that case, wouldn't he become a ghost under the knife of Second Master Wu?
Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and called lucky.
As soon as Tang Bohu left, Xiao Nier came over and smiled: "What bad idea did you give him again?"
"What is a bad idea, this son is all clever and clever to keep him until he succeeds. But the last plan was also taught to him, and it will be up to him in the future, our blackmail operation is basically over, and those calligraphy and paintings are well collected, which is not easy to come by. ”
Xiao Nier smiled and agreed, and treasured the calligraphy and paintings brought by Tang Bohu and the previous ones in the cupboard in her bedroom.
At night, Tang Bohu flipped through a joke book, and there were dozens of books piled up on the bed, all of which were bought at a bookstall on the street.
He laughed as he read it, and then he read a joke that made him breathless from laughter, so he quickly copied it down with a pen and paper, read it several times, and finally he was able to recite it, and then he faced the wall and began to practice telling the joke.
He repeated these actions, and throughout the night, Tang Bohu's incessant laughter echoed in the Tang family's inner house.
All the maids couldn't sleep, and they didn't know what the master's nerves were.
Wen Zhengming sat on the chair, he didn't write, but stared at the picture of the lady on the wall, and when he saw that in the middle of the night, he suddenly made up his mind to light the picture of the lady who had never been shown on the oil lamp, and after burning it halfway, he threw it into a clay basin, knowing that the last wisp of green smoke was gone, and only a pair of ashes were left in the clay basin, so he sighed heavily.
Something in his heart had turned to ashes, and that place had become a hollow, and I don't know who could fill it.
solved the matter of Tang Bohu ordering Qiu Xiang, and he was relieved, no one knew how important this matter was to him, so Pomegranate blamed him for being nosy, and even Zhou Dingcheng and Xiao Nier didn't understand why he did this.
It is true that he thinks about Qiu Xiang everywhere, but the actual point is to try to correct the deviations of history. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't care about other people's marriages, he would rather let Qiu Xiang go to Zuo Ling to learn to do business, with his care, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money, and there would be absolutely no problem in life.
As for Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang, he has nothing to do, the dead game has been made into a draw, and it can basically be said that he has survived, Tang Bohu's guarantee is the two eyes on the chessboard, as for the later three smiles, it is just a procedure.
Life in the world, the most basic is to get the guarantee of survival, and then the improvement of life, the improvement of status, love or not sometimes does not matter, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the market for love is not very large.
He can basically let go of the rest of the matter, if Tang Bohu can't even learn to tell jokes, he is not worthy of being the first talent in Jiangnan, and he thinks that in fact, Tang Bohu doesn't need to buy any joke books at all, his own life is full of too many jokes, he just loves Qiu Xiang too much, and he cares too much, so he is nervous in front of Qiu Xiang, and he can't be as chic and free as he is on weekdays, so he can only save the country through joke books.
A person tells jokes to another person every day, and they are all very ridiculous jokes, so that it cannot make a person laugh, it is estimated that both the speaker and the listener are faulty, and there is no point in living.
On the fourth day after the letter to the Marquis's Mansion was issued, the Marquis's Mansion sent two carts of wine to Suzhou.
It was the man who carried the goods, and the butler who escorted the car, and brought not thirty bottles of wine, but three hundred bottles.
Besides, they were all stunned, this was the most difficult tribute to buy, and the Zhou family could only buy a hundred bottles through acquaintances every year.
He asked the butler what was the matter, and the butler replied with a smile.
Only then did he know that every year the Marquis' Mansion could get all kinds of tributes from the emperor, and this kind of wine was naturally included, but no one in the palace liked to drink it, and they all said that there was a strange smell, and the Marquis of Wucheng liked to burn knives, and the ladies liked to pay tribute to Jinhua sweet wine, and as a result, I don't know how many bottles have been accumulated over the years, and they are all stored in the wine cellar.
After receiving his letter, Mrs. Tai immediately asked the housekeeper to send 300 bottles first, mainly because she was afraid that she would take too much and there would be no place to store it.
Zhou Dingcheng was completely stunned when he looked at the two carts of 300 bottles of wine, and he jumped to his feet with such joy, like a three-year-old child.
Besides, I didn't expect a letter to make such a big position, so I had to ask the housekeeper and his family to come into his house for a cup of tea.
When the housekeeper and the family saw Xiao Nier, they all kowtowed to meet Mrs., and Xiao Nier naturally understood that it was still the old rule, two taels of silver per person, and two hundred taels of silver were added to make hardship expenses and round-trip meal money.
The officials and the guys all thanked him and took it, knowing that his master was the most benevolent.
After the housekeepers browsed the outer house for a while, they all knelt at their feet: "Second master, it's the sin of the little ones, how can I let you live such a hard life, please go back to the house with the little ones, or the big ones will stay and serve you." ”
In addition, those fellows also wept bitterly and persuaded the old man to go back and enjoy the blessings.
Besides, he hurriedly let them get up, and then silenced them, warning them to go back to Nanjing as soon as they go out, and not to say a word to the people in the city, let alone expose his identity as the second master of the Marquis Mansion.
Only then did the housekeepers realize that the errand might have been messed up, and hurried away in fear.
"It's still a lord, I really didn't expect it before. Zhou Dingcheng looked at the boxes of wine piled up in the yard and sighed.
"Come on, this time it's enough for you to drink, get drunk to death. Besides, he said viciously.
"Enough, enough, drink it all and ask the lord again, didn't you say that there are mountains of wine in the house, and I don't have to worry about drinking it in this life." Zhou Dingcheng was extremely excited.
"It's a little bit of a good idea, it's just a mouthful. Besides, he despised it.
"What's wrong with the appetite, I can't marry a wife and have children, what else can I do besides the appetite?" Zhou Dingcheng retorted.
Besides, thinking about it, it is speechless, but also, people have even given up the joy of men and women, and it is too inhumane to let people enjoy some grape wine.
Zhou Dingcheng was speechless when he saw the situation, and said proudly: "According to me, there is no need to hide your identity at all, just show it directly, you are the second master of the Marquis Mansion." You expect this identity to save your life at a critical moment, it's simply delusional, tell you that those people who can really threaten us now, not to mention the Marquis Mansion, even Ouchi may not be able to stop it, if you want to talk about the hidden place of hiding, let's not talk about the three caves of the cunning rabbit, at least there are three hundred and three thousand caves, where can you expect a Marquis Mansion to be brilliant. ”
Besides, I think what he said makes sense, but I still don't want to combine the two identities, for no reason, I just don't like it.
"You don't really want to marry another wife as a marquis, do you?" Zhou Dingcheng approached and said mysteriously.
"Big brother, I said that it was thirty bottles, and I will sell the excess tomorrow for money. "Besides, keep a straight face.
"Don't, don't, sir, you're right, what I just said should be a fart. Zhou Dingcheng didn't have time to talk nonsense, he couldn't even wait to hire someone to move, and he moved back to the house with boxes.
"Mrs. Tai really spoils you so much, if you want thirty bottles, you will give three hundred bottles, but fortunately you didn't ask for three hundred bottles, otherwise it would be a convoy. Xiao Nier laughed.
Besides, he felt a little guilty, he really didn't say anything about the Marquis' Mansion, but he still had no sense of belonging to the Marquis' Mansion now.
The housekeepers are not unreasonable, compared with the Marquis's Mansion, this is a small thatched house, but he only feels at home when he lives here, and the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as the dog kennel, which is not false at all.
"Nier, did you say that if we went back to live there one day?" he asked.
Xiao Nier smiled: "I can adapt anywhere, as long as I have you." ”
"Well, I'm pretty much the same, you know that I'm quite happy in the mountain town of your hometown, treating people and teaching those children to read, I really don't feel unaccustomed to it at all, but I just feel out of place in the Marquis's Palace, am I born poor?"
"Possibly, I figured it out. Xiao Nier laughed again.
At the dinner table, Zhou Dingcheng generously took out two bottles of wine: "Come, drink, everyone drink together, we have a lord, and we don't have to worry about drinking wine in this life." ”
Besides, he smiled: "These few sentences can be sung on the song." ”
In the middle of the night, he still climbed on the roof to look at the stars, and now he doesn't call it night watching the sky, because he really doesn't understand the sky, and no matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed to say so. He just likes the feeling.
He didn't think much about the strange scene last night, he knew before that when a person entered the time, there would be all kinds of illusions, but in fact they were deceiving, and there were also various voices to tempt you, which may deceive you into demons, or even worse, take away your strength, and even swallow you alive.
He attributed it all to somehow going into a state of concentration, and then those illusions appeared. He believes that the simpler the conclusion, the closer it is to the truth.
Zhou Dingcheng didn't come up tonight, he took out a bottle of wine in the room like a miser, put it on the table to admire, and then put it back as it was. And so on and so forth, without getting tired of it.
In the second half of the night, it was settled again, and that strange scene reappeared, but there was no voice that sounded like an old man.
