Chapter 53: Your Life
In a few days, the 'Theory of Mind and Truth' was quietly placed on the counter of the listed bookstore, which did not cause much turmoil, but by chance, it also attracted the attention of some well-educated people.
Zhong Liqiu has been staying at home for a few days since he bought one in the bookstore, reading it carefully, sometimes stroking his palms and laughing, sometimes writing hard, as for Shen Mo and Wang Xiu to give him a fine print, he also refused, the reason is very interesting, it is not easy to produce some books, and there are more than ten dollars to buy a copy, which really makes people laugh and cry.
Wang Shao has decided to go to Wanqiu County, waiting for the upcoming autumn season, once the tribute is released, he will go to Kaifeng, Tokyo, and Shen Mo will also carry the books to the north, and it is so appropriate.
"Brother Xiu, I didn't see that your kid not only published a book, but also went to participate in the exam, heyβthink about it, I can't think about it!"
Under the old locust tree outside the village, a pot of fragrant stewed dog meat, four or five coarse porcelain bowls, taking advantage of seasonal vegetables and vegetables, a small jar of old wine, looking at Wang Xiu opposite, Qiu Fu took a big sip of wine, and his expression was a little proud.
Wang Xiu smiled faintly, before leaving, he wanted to come to see Qiu Fu, this old patrol archer is a person he admires very much, not only excellent martial arts, unparalleled archery skills, but also deep in the art of war formation, but unfortunately buried in the county town.
"Uncle Qiu said, I'm like I don't learn and don't know how to do it."
"Hehe, I didn't say it, you guys have a lot of eyes, and a martial artist like me doesn't have that heart." Qiu Fu pulled a slice of dog meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and muttered: "However, I didn't see it before, you kid can write a book, but I underestimated you." β
Wang Xiu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Qiu, let's not be witty, didn't I wake up with a brick!" Anyway, I'm a good student. β
"Well, well, it's good, I was a little stupid at the beginning."
"Uncle Qiu, you."
"Hehe, okay, okay, don't mention the beginning, you kid is also out of luck, come, do one." Qiu Fu swallowed the dog meat and picked up the wine bowl again.
Wang Xiu poured wine and said: "No, I'm going to Wanqiu, I have to go to the moon when I leave, and the family is still a little worried." β
Although Qiu Fu is a martial artist and extremely upright, he has also been in the county army for many years, and his eyesight is very thief, he understands what Wang Xiu means, and immediately said: "Okay, your little thought, uncle understands in his heart, don't worry about going to fight for fame!" I will say hello to Liu Dutou, and I will go to see it from time to time. β
After a pause, he smiled again: "Catch up with Ming, I will let the sixth son of the village, Zhang Mi, go to your house to help for a few days, but I want your eldest sister to pay the salary." β
Wang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Look at what Uncle Qiu said, my eldest sister is still a stingy person, don't alarm her, I'll come back and give it to the six sons, Zhang Mi and them." β
These two people are Ding Zhuang of the Arrow Recruiting Society, to put it bluntly, they are unrecruited village archers, they are two powerful generals under Qiu Fu, and they are also honest and kind, and they have a good relationship with Gao Sheng, thinking of Chen Sheng, his heart is gloomy for a while.
"Uncle Qiu, my aunt asked you if you still want to add wine?" A boy of twelve or thirteen years old came running, looked at the fragrant dog meat, swallowed his saliva fiercely, and his eyes were shining.
"Son, carry another jar of wine for Lao Tzu." Qiu Fu said with a big grin.
The boy rolled his eyes and did not speak, but turned his gaze to Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "Just one jar of wine is enough, Uncle Qiu don't drink more, otherwise the aunt will be angry again in a while." β
"How dare he?" Qiu Fu's eyes widened, looking like Lao Tzu was afraid of whom.
"Auntie is here." The boy shouted.
"Where." Qiu Fu's face changed, and he suddenly realized that he had been fooled, slapped him, and scolded: "Little rabbit, scare Lao Tzu." β
"Uncle, you drink slowly, I'll go back first." The boy dodged the slap and grimaced.
"Stop." Qiu Fu called out to the boy, reached out and tore a dog's leg and threw it over, and said with a big grin: "Hurry up and get out of here." β
"I'm going to steal Daddy's little bottle of cloudy wine." The boy then took the dog's legs, swallowed his saliva hard, bit off a piece of meat, and ran away grinning.
"This bastard."
"Uncle Qiu, I'm going back after a few more drinks, by the way, let Lu Yao send a few catties of sugar to the eldest mother."
"I can't help it, that thing is expensive, my family is coarse, and I can afford it." Qiu Fu shook his head.
Wang Xiu's heart moved, don't talk about frosting sugar, even brown sugar is very expensive, not to mention white sugar, it was mentioned by He Laodao that it was five hundred and twenty yuan a catty, and the middle households were reluctant to eat, not to mention the fourth and fifth class households, it seems that he is not bad at this trick, and slowly let go of the market, from sugar production to decolorization, gradually reduce costs, let white sugar be completely popularized, and then high-end products will come out again.
Think about the money scene, the boss who is happy to be grinning.
Wang Xiu did not stay behind, Chenzhou is a big town outside the country, not only the economy is prosperous, but also the public security is quite good. Although there is a little bit of that today, and there is also something for the officials, there is no curfew at night in the big town of Kiwai, and the city gates are not closed, and residents inside and outside the city can come and go freely.
The sun was setting, there was still a touch of residual sun, the sky was hazy, it was not too late, he was also drunk, and very decisively rode a horse to the city, since he had made money, the means of transportation had to be matched, he bought a horse, and equipped the family with a car.
When he entered the city, it was not completely dark, and there were few people on North Street, but he saw a carriage in front of him, which was swaying south, isn't this the eldest sister's car!
Sure enough, it was the eldest sister, and there was still Youqin Mo Yan, Wang Xiu got off the horse to say hello, and as soon as he said a few words, he joked with Youqin Mo Yan.
"You went back so late, and you weren't afraid that Aunt Li would worry?"
"The eldest sister goes back so late, she has to be accompanied, my brother is good, I smell of wine, I don't know which restaurant to go to be happy."
"I'm fine! How can you circle around home all day and read dead books. β
"That's also a slasher's business."
As soon as he spoke, he didn't want to rush out of the street with four or five splashes, and they all rushed towards Wang Xiu with sticks.
The person who came was not good, Wang Xiu felt bad for the first time, and before Wang Qingmao and Youqin Mo Yan came back to their senses, he picked up the horsewhip and whipped it at the leader.
After practicing with Qiu Fu for a few years, he can't be said to be a master, but he can also deal with a few people, and he is no longer the one.
The whip was whipped in the face of the leader, and the man immediately screamed, covered his face and squatted, and the wooden stick also fell on the bluestone road.
Wang Xiu was ruthless, and in Wang Qingjiao's exclamation, he whipped down two of them with a few whips, and the other two couldn't get up.
"Eldest sister, you go quickly, leave me alone."
"Here's what's going on. Who are you?"
"Brother, you go quickly."
Wang Xiu was stunned, was hugged from behind by a splash of skin, and restrained his hands and feet at once, a few of them were whipped by horses, and they got up in a twist and turn, obviously the boss's splash skin, pulled out a knife, and said with a cruel smile: "Originally, someone was going to break one of your legs, and if you dare to beat your grandfather, then you will be killed." β
"It's the street, you dare." Could it be? Wang Xiu didn't have time to think about it, he struggled several times, but he didn't break free, seeing the other party's face slowly coming slowly, his heart was full of anxiety, this is not a joke, it is really going to kill someone.
"Boy, if you want to blame it, you have a bad life. Sixth, small."
Wang Xiu saw that the face of the splash leader changed, and his eyes were very surprised, but when he heard a coquettish cry from behind, he hugged his splash skin, let go of his hand softly, and collapsed to the ground. xh118
