The good wind frightens the ghosts and gods overnight, and the water is green and the mountains are like blue flowers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Every year today's flowers are similar, and last year's people are different.
It is said that Fu watched his wife's belly get bigger and bigger day by day, and he was very happy in his heart, but when he thought that he had achieved nothing and was still living in someone else's house, he felt a little frustrated and melancholy. When he saw that he brought back the little property from the wild wolf village, there was not much left, and he knew that it was easy to go up the mountain to catch the tiger, and it was difficult to ask for help, this throat was as deep as the sea, and the sun and the moon were as fast as a shuttle. In order to change this kind of life that is strapped day by day, but also in order to be able to break out of a world of his own, show his relatives and make a name, before and after the light, he will seal his wife and son, and fight for a purple robe and gold belt. Ambitious, he explained his thoughts to his wife, and after obtaining her consent, he immediately announced his itinerary to everyone, and said goodbye to Zhang Chengdao and his son.
Zhang Chengdao was surprised when he heard this, "Idle nephew, what's wrong here, isn't it good, why do you want to leave suddenly?"
"Uncle, I'm not leaving, but going out to live, people like me can't farm, they can only fight and kill, you can't tell me how to survive if I can't go out to find trouble?"
Zhang Chengdao said worriedly, "Idle nephew, but this army is in chaos, where are you going to find something to do?"
As the saying goes, if you learn literature and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's family, Fuju doesn't worry about it, "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this, I have thought about it, nephew, go to Taiyuan to find something to do, rest assured that with my hard work, I will never let you down." ”
Zhang Chengdao also thought it was reasonable in his contemplation, and said, "I know this, so when will you leave?"
"The day after tomorrow, I still have some things to arrange. ”
"Okay, we'll send you then. ”
Zhang Congbin interjected, "Daddy, I'll go too." ”
Zhang Chengdao was a little surprised when he heard this, and looked his son up and down in surprise and said, "You, what are you going to do." ”
It is said that when the young Zhang Congbin heard that Fuju was going out to fight for his world, he was unwilling to do nothing all his life, and became a nobody, and secretly decided to break into a career and leave a name in history. ”
Zhang Chengdao couldn't believe his ears when he heard this, and asked, "Congbin, what did you say?"
"Earn a career, glorify your ancestors, what's wrong, can't you?"
"Okay, okay, okay, great, why can't it. "Who in this world doesn't want his son to become famous and glorify his ancestors. He Zhang Chengdao never left the house, and he was very happy to hear it.
Zhang Congbin struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Daddy, so you promised me to go." ”
Zhang Chengdao didn't even think about it and agreed, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Zhang Congbin couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then I thank my father for the fulfillment." ”
Fuju heard this and asked, "Uncle, are you really willing to let him go?"
Zhang Chengdao said, "Yes, he went out to work hard in the world, and he didn't make trouble for me, why was he reluctant?"
"Uncle, then you will be lonely in the future, no one will cause trouble anymore, and it will be difficult for you to scold others. ”
"That's right, I can stop working, lest my mouth be worn out and I can't eat, hahaha、、、、、、"
After all, three days later, Fuju reluctantly bid farewell to Huairou's wife, and under the advice of everyone, he left Zhangjiazhuang with Congbin and went to Taiyuan to seek work.
In February, the spring breeze is like a knife, warm and cold at first, although the earth has not yet been purple and red, but it has also turned green and spit green, full of spring and vitality.
Put down one head, but said that Fuju and Congbin were hungry and thirsty all the way, lived at night, crossed mountains and mountains, trekked mountains and rivers, and passed Gaoping County to Luzhou City in one day. Luzhou is located in the spine of Taihang, according to the high risk, the situation is dangerous, the strategic location is extremely important, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, for Li Keyong, to hold Luzhou, can refuse Zhu Wen outside the country, that is, to contain the Liang army to expand Hebei, and to shield the east of the river, once the time is ripe and according to Luzhou straight down to Luoyang, and for Zhu Wen to seize Luzhou, then Taiyuan periphery has no danger to defend, can choke the throat of Hedong. According to this, this Luzhou will definitely experience another war. Now the war in Luzhou City, has ended due to the original Jiedu envoy Ding will surrender last year's 12 automatic surrender, and now by the Zhaoyi Jiedu Li Sizhao is in charge, although the order in the city has been restored, but the traces of war are still everywhere, and Li Sizhao in order to be able to guard for a long time, is making every effort to maintain, the two found a small restaurant to eat something indiscriminately, and after filling their stomachs, they went to Taiyuan through the chaotic willow.
Taiyuan City, west, north, east three sides of the mountains, the central and southern part of the river valley plain, the whole terrain is high in the north and low in the south in the form of a dustpan, across both sides of the Fen River, the whole city is composed of three cities, among which the capital is the largest, around forty-two miles. Dongcheng is east of the Fen River, and the middle city is also called Liancheng, which crosses the Fen River and connects the east and west banks. The stretching city wall, the towering city tower controls the mountains and rivers, stands on the shoulders of the world, and the four stoppers are rushed, and the capital of the five plains is also controlled.
Fuju and Congbin entered the Taiyuan realm in one day, facing the unfamiliar place for life, knowing that only by recruiting into the army can they fly Huang Tengda, and seal their wives and sons. I don't want to, it backfired, the recruiting place was empty, and I stopped recruiting for some reason, which was annoying, and in the face of this situation, the two people who were unwilling to return without results for a while, I don't know how to get better. After hesitating, they saw that it was not early, so the two of them first found an inn to live in.
The next day, after breakfast, the two of them rode horses to find horses in order to save Mr. Neng, so that they could be recruited into the army when the recruitment began, so they looked for things in the streets and alleys, however, things did not go smoothly, and they went out early and returned late for seven or eight days in a row, looking for a lot of money, and they could not find a job. There is no road for the mountains and rivers to recover, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Just when the two of them were depressed, worried, and at a loss, ready to go home in a few days, the owner of the inn Tian found two errands for the two of them, which made the two of them overjoyed and grateful, and no matter how they lived, they immediately agreed. Early the next morning, the two took their luggage and followed the innkeeper Tian, and then reported to Sun Kee Restaurant on Front Street to do business.
Sun Ji Restaurant is located in the bustling downtown area, where people come and go, the traffic is busy, since it is very lively, the three of them fell there, Boss Tian is familiar with the car and led the two of them into the hotel from the back door, the shopkeeper of the hotel, Boss Sun, just had breakfast, is doing his hand while pointing his buddy and the two master spoons to be busy with this and that, as soon as they came in, he turned around and greeted him with a smile, "Boss Tian, here, how did I tell you the day before yesterday?"
"Don't worry, Boss Sun, it's done, I brought it to you today, come and come, I've seen Boss Sun. ”
Fuju, hearing from the guests, hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Hello, Boss Sun, we have a courtesy." ”
That Boss Sun is not tall, fat head and fat brain, and his two small eyes are not big, and after looking the two of them up and down, he asked lukewarmly, "Okay, yes, what are the names of the two of you, and where are the people?"
"Back to the shopkeeper, my name is Fuju, his name is Zhang Congbin, and he is from Zezhou,"
"Oh, your salary for working here is twenty taels a month, and besides, I must tell you that the important thing to do here is to be obedient, otherwise I will dismiss you. ”
As the saying goes, when people are poor and low, their voices are low, and their horses are thin and fat, and now they are asking for help from others, and they dare not have any objections and hurriedly responded;
"Okay, Master Cao, come over for a moment. ”
"Boss Sun, what's the matter?" A middle-aged man with a small figure and a kind face with a robe around his chest walked over with a smile.
"Master Cao, these two newcomers, you arrange accommodation, and tell them what to do. ”
"Alright, you two come with me. As he spoke, Master Cao led the two of them to a room.
"Boss Tian, thank you again. Fuju thanked the innkeeper again;
"It's nothing, you guys work hard here, I believe that Boss Sun won't treat you badly, go over and play in your spare time." ”
"Okay, then we're busy. Fuju and the two followed.
"Go, go, Boss Sun, you've stayed, there's nothing to do, I'll go back." ”
"What's the panic, let's go back after eating. ”
"No, I still have something to do, let's talk about it later. ”
"That's okay, let's go, it's not far away. ”
The words were divided into two ends, but they said that Fuju and Congbin followed Master Cao into the room and put down their burdens on the two empty beds, and they didn't even bother to take a sip of tea, and the two of them started to prepare for lunch under the words of Master Cao. And a busy just put the work in hand to stop, before the time to take a breath, the time to open the door to do business is time again, serve people's bowls, by the management of others, the two dare not have any complaints, immediately obeyed Master Cao's instructions from the guest in the room to burn the fire to help the kitchen, Fuju front hall to welcome guests, the two of them went separately.
Although he has not done this line, but as the saying goes, he has not fed the pigs, and has not seen the pigs run, since he is not familiar with the process inside, after reading the menu and keeping the names and prices of the various dishes in mind, he will stand at the door and wait for the arrival of the guests. With the arrival of the meal time and the arrival of the guests, he immediately greeted the guests who entered the store with a smile, and as the guests sat down, he asked what kind of meal he used while pouring tea.
The master Cao and another master danced with their knives, cooking and frying, as if pulling flowers, and without much effort, they cooked the dishes they wanted and put them on the tray and passed them out.
Fuju saw that he was about to stop, and then brought it up. Soon, the number of guests increased one after another, and Fuju immediately went upstairs and downstairs, asked to send it up, ran around, and got busy. It wasn't until halfway through the ugly hour, after seeing off the last of the guests, that he let out a long breath and went to eat his lunch.
At the end of the day, the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that Fuju was ushered in and delivered, and he coped with it freely, reported the dishes and settled the bill, and the points were not bad, and he was busy and orderly, and he immediately put his heart into his stomach.
Although Fuju was too tired to move at the end of the day, he was still in a good mood with a place to settle down and the conditions for riding a donkey to find a donkey. So far, the two of them have been working in the restaurant while inquiring about the movements outside, waiting for the opportunity to seek more space for development.
Day after day, month after month, in the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, this day when they heard that the King of Jin was going to compete in the martial arts field to recruit martial arts instructors, they were overjoyed, just as they were about to go to apply for a try, an unpleasant thing happened.
At noon that day, the two big men asked for a table full of wine and food, and after they were full of wine and food, they didn't care that Fuju was in the room, and they didn't even say hello, as if they were in their own home, and they swaggered down the stairs with their lips and legs. Fu Juwan didn't expect that in broad daylight, someone would dare to eat white food like this, so he was angry in his heart, so he hurriedly chased after him, jumped down from the stairs, and stretched out his hand in front of the staircase to block their way, "Two, what are you panicking, it's not too late to leave after settling accounts." ”
"Settle accounts, what kind of accounts?" The two big men scratched their teeth and glanced at Fuju contemptuously, not taking him in their eyes, their mouths were full of wine, and they couldn't be honest; "The kid tells you, uncle, we never pay for dinner, you better get out of the way quickly, otherwise, you will be told to crawl and walk." ”
As the saying goes, talent does not succumb to dirt, and talk about ambition and less intestines. Fuju didn't expect them to be so unreasonable, and he was suddenly annoyed in his heart, "Boy, it's reasonable to eat white food, let me tell you, I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'll pay today, otherwise, don't even want to go out while crawling." ”
"Give the shameless stinky boy, ask for money, uncle, I'll give it to you. A big man with a pitted face said, and reached out and hit Fuju in the face.
Fukuju didn't dodge or dodge, and reached out and grabbed the man's fist. "Boy, if you want to commit murder and beat people, tell you, if you don't eat this set, you'd better hand over the money quickly, otherwise, you will be told to crawl and walk. ”
The man screamed in pain, and fell to his knees involuntarily, but despite this, his mouth was still strong and he didn't admit it, "Stinky boy, you'd better let go quickly, otherwise, I'll make your life worse than death." ”
"Boy, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Fukuju said that Tesuji involuntarily aggravated a few points.
Seeing his companion kneeling on the ground and crying in pain, the other big man would not stand idly by, and roared angrily and swung his fist and hit Fuju up.
Fuju watched the six roads, listened to the eight directions, and when he saw another person attacking, he did not panic, and kicked the person he grabbed in his hand to the ground, and then an oolong swing his tail put another big man to the ground, and then raised his foot and punched the two of them. "If you don't pay back for eating white food, there is really no king's law, and if you commit it in my hands today, you are unlucky. ”
Just as Fuju was beating and scolding the two of them, the hotel shopkeeper was talking to someone in the backyard and immediately ran in from outside in a panic after hearing it, shouting "Stop, stop," stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop and push Fuju away, "My ancestor, you caused me a big trouble today." Then he helped the two of them up, and apologized to the two of them in a low voice. "Master Jun, I'm really sorry, you don't remember the villain, please forgive us for our ignorance and rudeness. ”
Fuju was puzzled in the face of the shopkeeper's appearance, and said in surprise: "Shopkeepers, they eat white food, you don't need to be polite to them." ”
"What do you know, come over and apologize. ”
"Boss Sun, it's them who are at fault, not us, they are the ones who want to accompany them, and we shouldn't apologize. ”
"You, you, you're so angry with me, I'll settle accounts for you later. Master Jun, are you all right? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?" the shopkeeper asked with concern when he saw that the two of them had blue noses and swollen faces;
After the two white eaters got up from the ground in embarrassment, they wanted to scold and accuse angrily, but when they saw Fuju's angry eyes, for fear that they would hit themselves again, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they quickly lowered their heads, and both of them obediently took out a handful of copper coins from their pockets, held them in both hands and sent them to the shopkeeper. "Boss, this is our wine money, please take it. ”
The shopkeeper was frightened, and waved his hand again and again, "Master Jun, how can I take your money, aren't you beating me?" ”
Fuju didn't expect him to be so hurriedly persuaded, "Shopkeeper, we don't want their money for nothing, why don't we accept it?"
"You don't interject to speak, you don't need to speak here," the shopkeeper scolded him angrily, turned around and knelt down for the two of them; "Two military masters, I beg you to take it back, I don't want your money here." ”
The two hurriedly said in order to leave as soon as possible, "Boss, don't say anything, if it's not enough, just ask, I'll definitely make up for it." ”
Fuju saw that he took out the money, so he took it and taught him a lesson, "Boy, you are right to do this, remember that no matter where you are next time, you must pay first and then leave, this is the rule." This time, let's see that you are still honest, put the money on the table and go. ”
"Yes, yes, yes," the two agreed again and again to put the money on the table, and hurriedly went away like a fish that had slipped through the net.
"You, you, you,、、、、、、 it's over, it's all over. ”
"Shopkeeper, what's the end?"
"You, you, you 、、、、、、" Boss Sun pointed at Fuju and trembled with anger, unable to say a word, holding his breath and not coming up, and immediately fell into a coma.
Fuju didn't expect him to be so angry, so he hurriedly pressed his person, and after he woke up, he sent him to the back to rest. He didn't know why he was like this, and then Master Cao, who was in charge, asked the reason, "Master Cao, what's going on with the boss, why is he so afraid of those two people?"
"Alas, brother, you have only been here for a long time, and you don't know the situation here, and we can't afford to mess with those people. ”
"What's the matter, are they street scoundrels here?"
"They're street scoundrels here, but the problem is that they're not at all. ”
"Even if it's not, then what are you afraid of? ”
"What are you afraid of, tell you, it's because they're not afraid of them, they are warriors under King Jin, and they are even more powerful than street scoundrels. ”
"What kind of fairy should I be, it turned out that I was a soldier, and it is worth your fear of becoming like that. ”
"Brother, you don't know, those people are all masters who don't want to die. King Jin didn't dare to care about them for protection, not to mention us, if you beat them today, they won't give up, they will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge, in this way, can this store still be opened?"
"Originally, this is the case, the good man is a good man, I caused this incident, you tell the boss, I will take care of everything for him. ”
"Brother, don't slap your swollen face and be fat, while they haven't come yet, I think you should hurry up and pack your luggage and escape, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
"Run, you see me like a fugitive, I want to see how they take revenge?"
"Brother, if you don't listen to good people, you will suffer in front of you, whether you go or not, you decide for yourself, and we can't control it. ”
Reasonableness cannot be lost, and unreasonableness cannot be disputed. The arrogant Fuju did not take this matter to heart, and still did things as usual.
But after saying that Boss Sun woke up and sighed for a while, he immediately beckoned all the people to him and issued an order to close the door. "Guys, you have seen what happened today, and I don't want to say more, but I ask you to forgive me, Mr. Accounts, you immediately take stock and pay your salary, and each of you will pay an extra month's salary. ”
"Yes, boss, I'll go. The bookkeeper agreed, and turned to settle the accounts.
Fu Juwan didn't expect that his kind intentions would bring him so much panic and fear, and he couldn't help it, "Boss Sun, can't you not close the door?"
"Don't say it, if it works, will I bear to stop doing business?"
"Then there's no other way to solve it. ”
"If there were, I'd break up and shut up. ”
Fuju looked at the dejected shopkeeper, his heart was uneasy, after hesitating for a moment, he said with a horizontal heart: "Boss Sun, isn't the matter irreparable, do you think this will work, how about leaving this shop to me to manage first?"
"What are you capable of, they are all outlaws who lack a father and a young mother, in case there are three long and two short, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around," the shopkeeper was surprised and surprised, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Boss Sun, don't worry, if you don't have a diamond and don't do porcelain work, I won't gamble with my life. ”
The shopkeeper saw that he was full of confidence, and he couldn't help but want to gamble in his heart, and nodded instantly, "Yes, but if there is anything wrong, you should stop it earlier." ”
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. After Fuju, who was full of self-confidence, sent him to join relatives and friends, he knew that if he wanted to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools, and then prepared overnight just in case.
But the next day, after everyone finished breakfast, they opened the door as usual, until there were no guests in the hotel when Shenshi, and the two white eaters did not come, they couldn't help but secretly celebrate, just when the people who had been busy for a while gathered in the backyard to eat, the two white eaters led more than ten big and three thick, big shoulders and round waists, staggered, full of stinky mouths, and drunk people who were confused broke in, and when they entered the hotel, they slapped the table and smashed the bench, shouting," You fucking little hotel dare to shoot flies on the head of a tiger, it's really impatient. Panting for breath, give the grandfather a living one, otherwise, the grandfather will smash the store and close the door. "For a while, there was a lot of commotion, chickens and dogs jumping, tables and stools were overturned, bowls were broken, black smoke and miasma, and there was chaos.
Don't do anything bad a few days ago, and don't be surprised when you knock on the door in the middle of the night. When Fuju heard that they were coming, he didn't care about eating, so he dropped the rice bowl in his hand and arranged for the others to take refuge first, and then rushed over, angry at their unscrupulous and wanton destruction, and roared like a thunderbolt in the sky to stop their smashing and all other sabotage. "Stop me, what are you doing, you dare to sow destruction here for no reason in broad daylight, it's really lawless and lack of discipline, just restore this place to its original state today, otherwise, I'll let you crawl and walk one by one." ”
The big men who were messing with the destruction were taken aback when they heard this, and they involuntarily stopped their hands, stunned there, and looked at the person who spoke.
When the two white eaters saw this, they were full of anger, and they turned around and reported to a big man with a wide body and a fat body, sitting at the door with a face full of meat, and was drinking boiling water, "Big brother, it was this kid who beat us yesterday.
A man can't do without a head, and a bird can't soar without wings. And said that the person was not someone else, but surnamed Li Ming Cunru, the son of Li Keyong, the king of the Jin Dynasty, a musician who played and sang under Li Cunmian, because of his extraordinary strength, he was deeply valued by Li Cunmian, and appointed him as the head of the death squad. When Li Cunru heard this, he immediately stood up from the stool, stared at a pair of red eyes, and looked at Fuju, seeing that his body was not tall, his body was not fat, and his appearance was not amazing, he walked towards Fuju with the support of the two white eaters, and said coldly with contempt and contempt, "Why yesterday, it was you who beat my brother?"
"Yes, I called it, but they didn't pay for their meals, they asked for it." ”
Li Cunru said wildly and viciously, "What's wrong with eating white food, that's my brother can afford you, otherwise, you won't come, today you accompany you to bow and be humble, kneel down and confess your guilt, and pay back a little economic compensation, otherwise, don't say that you can't open this store, not to mention that it will kill you, and it will also make you break your tendons and fractures, lack arms and legs." ”
Fuju sneered, "Shout, Lu Ban is playing with an axe in front of the door, it's a pity that I'm not a child, let alone scared, today you have nothing to do here, do nothing, don't explain it to me clearly, you can't leave one by one." ”
Li Cunru didn't expect the other party to be so crossy, and he was surprised; "Shout, we haven't looked for your business yet, you dare to look for us, good, good, good, have the guts, what are the brothers still stunned for, don't beat him, are you still waiting for others to send wine and food." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately attacked Fuju.
