Chapter Ninety-Two: The People Who Fled
Xiaohu glanced at his daughter-in-law strangely, and didn't know why he felt a little nervous about his daughter-in-law.
Xiaohu continued: "Later, when I arrived at Hualou, I watched people dance and play tunes, until the first night of the sale.
At first, the second son followed and shouted the price, and I thought he was really going to buy it. Later, there was no money to give, so I thought I drank too much to vent.
He said that he asked me to borrow money, and I thought that he wanted to borrow the capital of the business as before.
I didn't lend it to him before, because I hadn't figured out what to do, but I borrowed it because I had something to do.
I gave him the silver ticket at that time, and he gave it to Hualou with his backhand, saying that it was the first night he bought it for me, and I was blindfolded at that time, and then I was angry.
He said that I should wait for him in Peony's room first, and he went to the toilet and went over immediately.
I went there for a while, the peony's maidservant poured tea, and went out, I saw that there were only me and the peony left in the house, and I felt awkward panic, so I hurriedly went out to look for him, and I didn't find him.
Later, Xiao Er in the flower building said that he saw him enter Peony's room, and I thought that he might be looking for me, so I went back to look for him.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard laughter inside, and I heard him say, 'Don't look at him stupidly, but he is very rich, and every time he settles the bill with my family, he is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.' I said I could help you get 10,000 taels, and I knew it. You're a veritable Oiran now, and you'll be worth a lot more than them in the future! Satisfied, huh?! ’
I listened, knew he meant it, and turned away.
After that, he told me about the partnership business, but I ignored him.
And then it happened. I suspect that on the one hand, he wanted revenge, and on the other hand, he also wanted to have the capital to do business, so he partnered with that peony to design.
Later, I asked the maidservant, and I found out that it was really the peony who did it. ”
Erya asked strangely, "You know that he is unreliable, why do you still follow?" ”
Xiaohu replied dejectedly: "Before, that peony told me that her maid was because his father was deceived into gambling. It made it miserable to be sold to the flower building.
Let's go to the gambling house too. See and see, so that you don't know what others have designed in the future.
She said that she had already said hello to people and wanted to teach us.
I'm with Daman, Dahong, and Xiangzi. It's all a bit arrogant. Thinking that we can do martial arts, if we want to say that we are quick and fast, we are no worse than them, just taking advantage of being acquaintances. It's good to see and know.
Who knew where it would be. Two shots, just say it's true. At that time, I was hot-headed and didn't believe in that evil!
To be honest, I haven't figured it out until now. Me and Daman, Dahong, and Xiangzi, the four of us are all small, why when the lid is opened. It's going to be big? ”
The second girl looked at Xiaohu with a headache, what a deception! It seems that he really needs to know something cheating.
"There's a problem with their sieve itself. No matter what you see, whatever they want, it will end up becoming!
There are also many ways to cheat with copper coins, some of which are positive on both sides, and some are negative on both sides, so people who cheat want to be able to be reversed, and they want to be positive.
It's not that you can beat them if you have martial arts, they specialize in the art industry, and they can be regarded as a skill industry! ”
Erya saw Xiaohu looking down and thinking about things, so she asked, "What do you want?" Still thinking about the sieve? ”
Xiaohu raised his head and shook it: "I'm thinking, the main reason for my loss this time is that we are all too self-righteous." ”
"That's it! It's over, don't think about it anymore. You said that you want to do business with that second son, what is it? ”
Speaking of which, Xiaohu's spirit is here again.
"Daughter-in-law! Do you remember the carriage you drew? ”
"That's it! It's not like I'm hitting you, it's not that easy to get out! ”
Xiaohu said: "That's why I think that one can be bigger." It's not as profitable as a tea plantation, but it's certainly no worse than our three workshops.
First, I didn't find a suitable master, and I also felt that our family's power was too small, and if it made people red-eyed, we wouldn't even have a chance to fight back, so we haven't been able to get it up until now. ”
Er Ya thought about it and asked, "Haven't you been dating the eldest son of the prefect's family for a long time!" What do you think of him? ”
Xiaohu asked in surprise: "How do you know that I know the son of the prefect's family?" ”
"Cut! People do peace things for you, and you still pretend not to know! ”
Xiaohu said aggrievedly: "What do I know! He has never told me clearly, I know that he is the son of the prefect's family, or that day when he met in the embroidery village delivery, he took the initiative to invite me out to dinner, and the shopkeeper Zhang took advantage of our account to secretly sue me.
Later, every time he ran into me, he had a friend who wanted to go to Hualou to play, who knew if he was really friends with me, or if he wanted me to help pay the money!
You also told me not to have anything to do with the government, and if you can't avoid it, you will make friends and not do evil.
I thought that I would not offend him, and every time he called me, I would go with me and take the initiative to give money, so that the money would not be spent and people would be offended. ”
Erya admonished: "No matter who you are in the future, if you are invited to Hualou again, you will tell the truth, saying that you are afraid, because if you go to Hualou, you will already be bankrupt."
Do you know? If you really don't want to go, there are excuses.
I'm afraid that if you want to go, you have to find a reason in a high-sounding way. ”
Xiaohu listened to his daughter-in-law's words with a sense of relief, so he grinned and responded, "Hmm! No one will go after that. ”
Erya didn't want to let him go: "Daman, they are all taken by you?" ”
Xiaohu nodded: "Yes!" When it was time to settle the bill, the shopkeepers joked that they wanted to listen to the tune.
I always talk about it, and I say it's urgent. I told them that I would do it, but only once a year, and I would not look for those miscellaneous people to fool them, I would find the highest price, and definitely earn face for them.
I invited them three times in total, and I called Daman to make them more familiar with those shopkeepers.
It's really just drinking tea, listening to tunes, or if you don't believe it, you can ask any shopkeeper. ”
"I'm not going to lose that face!" Er Ya rolled over. Ignore Xiaohu in the face of the inside.
Xiaohu asked in a low voice, "Can I go to bed?" ”
After asking for a long time, Erya didn't squeak, so Xiaohu took off his clothes, went to bed lightly, and slept next to the bed.
When the weather was hot in June, although the wheat seedlings survived, they grew slowly, and everyone was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. So it's not very anxious.
No one thought about it on this day. Chen's second family will come to the door.
The uncle's family, Chen Lao'er's family cried and wiped away tears: "Back then, it was the veterinarian who treated my cattle." I picked up my man.
Ever since this happened, I've always felt like I didn't have the face to come to the door.
When your family asked someone to make sweaters, I thought about going to the door to ask my two daughters for a job, but I went back when I left the house.
It's shameless! There's really no way around it this time. Then he came to the door. ”
The eldest aunt also heard the child's father explain that anyone from Chen's second family wanted help. Be sure to help.
Although she doesn't know why, she will still do what her man says.
So without waiting for Chen Laoer's family to say more, he asked, "What are the difficulties of your family?" You say, we can help. ”
Chen Lao's family hurriedly replied: "Hey! What a wonderful person you are!
I'm too embarrassed to say it. Originally, we kept all the early rice last year, and we could eat it at least until the end of this year.
It's all my children's father, who is shallow-eyed, looking at how expensive food was last year. He sold more than half of the grain regardless of the head and tail.
There are a few of our mothers, so and so provincial. It has been maintained until now. Today I went to my neighbor's house to borrow grain, and my neighbor told me that you had left a lot of food at home, so I thought about borrowing some back. ”
The eldest aunt hurriedly said: "Okay, yes!" It's just that my family is all rice, and there is no ready-made rice! ”
Chen Laoer's family, so excited that he couldn't kneel down and kowtow, and bowed coherently and said, "Rice seeds, okay, okay!" If you can lend us food, you are already very grateful, how can you ask for rice or rice. ”
The eldest aunt looked at her emaciated body, and asked hesitantly, "Who will help you pick this?" ”
Chen Lao'er's family hurriedly asked, "How much can you borrow from me?" ”
"How much do you need? Why don't you pick a stone and go back first, and come back when you run out of food! Feasible? ”
Chen Lao's family cried, and said while wiping his tears: "Okay! Then I'll pick it back first, and you can keep an account. ”
The eldest aunt smiled and said, "I asked my son to help you send it to the entrance of the village, otherwise you won't be able to stand it." ”
In August, the wheat was ripe, very short, and the ears were not large, but fortunately, there was a harvest, and the people of Zhuangzi cheered to help with the harvest.
Then they also followed the grandfather of the Erya family to learn, and they also cut bamboo, made waterways, and engaged in drip planting.
At the beginning of September, the third uncle and Laizi came back, saying that they would no longer run business, and the road was full of desert escapes, which was too unsafe.
Laizi heard that their family had four very good wild horses, so they had to pull them out and slip away, but they didn't even give them a chance to get close, and ran home angrily.
In mid-September, the west side of the river crossing was crowded with refugees who wanted to cross the river.
A pair of 100 or so refugees were moving from the north along the embankment to the ferry......
Their destination was to cross the river to the southeastern sea, where it was said that there was no drought.
One of the women took the child in her arms and stared at a small river that joined the river to the west, and did not move for a long time.
Someone in front of her shouted: "Sister-in-law Wang, let's go!" What are you doing there? ”
The woman, as if with great determination, shouted to them, "Go! I won't go with you. ”
Someone in front of him sighed: "Sister-in-law Wang is really miserable!" Such a catastrophe is at the head.
But her man fled with other women, leaving her orphan and widow behind.
Now she doesn't follow us, I'm afraid she's worried about dragging us down, let's go back and persuade us!
It's better to follow us and take care of each other than for her to pull a child alone. In case something happens, there is not even a helper. ”
Someone responded: "What my mother said is that we are all villagers in the township, so let's take care of it if we can!" ”
There are also objections, "If she doesn't want to follow, she won't follow, you don't have to worry about salty radishes." Go back, and we'll be gone. ”
Some of those who hesitated and at last followed the one who went forward, and those who insisted on taking the woman and the child with them turned back to the mother and the son.
When he found the woman, he persuaded her, "O sister-in-law! Don't worry about dragging us down, it's like this now, and there's nothing to drag down or not drag us down, so let's go with us. ”
The sister-in-law who was called Wang hesitated for a moment, and told them the truth: "Auntie, I see that this small river still has water flowing into this big river, so I want to go up along this small river, maybe I can find a place to stay, maybe I can't say." ”
The eldest lady looked at the small river water, which might be dried by a big sun, and persuaded her: "O lady Wang! You see that this water will dry up at any time, so why should you do such useless things? ”
"Nope! I want to try. When there is such a shortage of water, there is still water that can flow down, which shows that the people on both sides of this river are kind people, as long as they have a stutter, they will definitely give us a mouthful, so I must walk along this river, my heart is to tell me, to go up! To go up! The sister-in-law named Wang decided more firmly on her own thoughts.
The eldest lady sighed, "Forget it, if you want to live together, if you want to die together, let's go up with you!" ”
The man of the eldest lady looked at his woman sadly, knowing that he could only follow.
The eldest mother's son and daughter-in-law also hesitated and struggled for a while, and then agreed to the eldest mother's decision.
The grandchildren of the eldest mother naturally followed.
The sister-in-law cried and hugged the eldest mother: "Auntie! Thank you! But I can't let you follow me to death, so go! I take my son up, whether I live or die, it depends on my fate! ”
The eldest lady's daughter also shed tears and said, "Don't say it, it's life or death, let it be fate!" Even if we follow them, we will flee to the sea. Who can guarantee that we will be able to walk to the beach alive? ”
The group walked all the way west to beg on the riverbed, and the people watching from behind pointed at them from a distance and said with a smile: "Look, those fools, the west is the most drought, and they actually fled to the west." It's ridiculous! ”
"Hahaha!"
These fools gave everyone a short-term happiness! (To be continued)
