Chapter 161: The Pei Family's Three Smalls
As far as the eye could see, five thin, delicate-looking fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys stood horizontally and orderly in the straw hut, wearing patched clothes, straw sandals on their feet, and their hands neatly under their navels. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info saw everyone coming, and bent down slightly. A Hamahama looked over and saw that the hands of the five little brothers were slightly calloused. Behind the five lay a man dressed in blood, and Hamahama thought to himself that the smell of herbs must have emanated from this person.
Li Zhu looked at it and asked strangely, "Brother Wu?" Wu Baiju nodded to the young people and said to Li Zhu: "Most of my people here are selling and farming, and they are businessmen, and their identity is not good, and they can't be sold at a high price, so I choose some who can keep accounts or have a good reputation." Let me introduce you to Li Xiucai. These five were sold by their families as apprentices at a very young age, and the rules are not bad. This highest Ning Qi knows some simple bookkeeping, and the one next to him is Ning Liu, his younger brother. Both of these children were from the town, and his family had many children, and when they were four or five years old, both brothers were sold to work as apprentices in a restaurant. Ning Liu doesn't know how to keep accounts, but he is diligent. Both of them know the roots. I'll tell you, now the big yard likes this. ”
Li Zhu looked at it, Binbin looked at the two brothers from the beginning, both of them were very clean, Ning Qi's eyes were calm, he only looked at his father, Ning Liu looked at Deng Chi with a stunning face, Binbin looked at Deng Chi with a pouting smile, Deng Chi looked at Ning Liu, with a dark face.
Deng, Li Hai, and Li Bo looked at the side and snickered, Li Tao snorted and said, "Binbin is better looking than this tomboy." After hearing this, Binbin was so happy to laugh, Ning Qi heard the laughter and looked over, his eyes were full of amazement, and he felt that the sunshine after Binbin's smile was also a little brighter.
Deng Chi has been protecting Binbin, feeling Ning Qi's eyes, seeing Ning Qi's good feelings, his whole face is as tight as a coffin.
Wu Baiju continued: "These three and the one lying down have fled. They said that whoever buys it will buy four people at once. The lying one who came to me didn't open his eyes and was dizzy all the time. In addition to these three teenagers can cook, one can keep accounts, one can read a few words, and one knows a little bit of medical science, I think it is rare, although there is a burden, but these three only charge two people's money, Li Xiucai can consider one or two. These three are Pei Qing, Pei Cui, and Pei Green, and the one lying down is called Pei Lan. ”
Hamahama looked at the three of them, only to see that the three of them quickly recovered from the surprise that flashed in their eyes when they saw them. These three are triplets, with a graceful appearance, thin and delicate, and Hamahama secretly gave them a high score in his heart.
Hamahama looked at the man lying on the ground. I saw that he was only eleven or twelve years old, although his eyes were closed, and his face was slightly white, but looking at his hibiscus, his face was as round as an apple, and he was a cute little Zhengtai.
Hamahama looked at him, looked at Deng Chi and his three elder brothers, and found that his brothers were as smart as foxes, Deng Chi was beautiful, no matter how you look at it, you can't describe it as Xiao Zhengtai, only the one lying in front of him can be called Xiao Zhengtai. Hamahama looked at the triplets, although the three of them were slightly bent at the waist, their feet were straight, and they stood quite decently, and it could be seen that they had received a good upbringing.
Among the triplets, who was standing next to the lying man, introduced himself as Pei Qing, and said while wiping his tears: "Li Xiucai, this is the only son of our three brothers' benefactor, the son's health was not very good in the past, and he changed at home, he couldn't bear it for a while, and fainted." I know some medical skills, and I have stabilized Childe's condition. The surplus silver on our bodies has been used for seventy-seven eighty-eight, thinking that we have nothing to rely on in the future, so we have to sell ourselves. If you buy us, I beg you to help pay for some medicine, it doesn't take a lot, and now that Childe's health has improved, he only needs to drink two or three more doses of medicine. ”
The kid who claimed to be Pei Lu cried beside him: "Li Xiucai, we will settle accounts, know a few words, and beg you to buy us back." We don't have enough money for Childe's medicine, Childe has been out of medicine for two days, please save Childe. ”
Li Zhu looked at it and couldn't bear it, but considering that there was not much money at home, he looked at the Deng family. Deng Shi looked at the children on the ground, looked at his own children, and shook his head slightly.
Binbin was optimistic about these triplets, watching the interaction between his father and mother, he hurriedly pulled Deng's hand and said, "Mother, you see this little brother has his eyes closed, shall we help them?" They don't have a father and mother, and they don't have anyone to help, so they're even more pitiful. Mother. Binbin and Deng were coquettish for a while, pounced on Li Hai's body and twisted his body to be coquettish, and said: "Brother, you see how fun the three of them are, let's want these three little brothers." ”
Li Zhu frowned after hearing this, and said, "Binbin, this little brother is sick, our family doesn't have enough money to help a lot, so it's better to let someone who can help them help them." ”
Pei Qing heard that Li Zhu's tone was loose, and he hurriedly said: "Li Xiucai, Gongzi's medicines are all ordinary medicinal materials, and the silver taels needed are not much, only a few pieces, as long as he wakes up, it will be fine." If you take too long to stop taking the medicine and miss the time for treatment, your life will be in danger. Please. ”
After San Pei finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhu's family in unison.
Li Zhu said hesitantly: "This, my family is just an ordinary farmer, and I may not be able to pay too much for medicine." Maybe the next person to buy someone will have more money in his hand. Well, I'll give you some silver, and you'll have a better life when the rich come and buy you, won't you? ”
Wu Baiju looked at it, sighed and said, "Li Xiucai, you don't know anything. There are few people who buy merchants, and your family is the only one who has come to buy merchants in these two months. ”
Li Zhu was embarrassed when he heard this, and Deng Shi looked at it and sighed. Li Hai looked at Binbin, looked at Li Zhu, and said to Binbin: "Binbin, we don't have much money left, don't be like this." ”
After hearing this, Hamahama blinked, desperately squeezed out two tears, and cried in a choked voice: "Mother, you see, the little brother is very pitiful, let's save him." ”
Binbin rarely cried in the past, Li Zhu and Deng Shi watched their children crying, their hearts were slightly hurt, they thought about it, and said: "Zhu, look, we don't have to worry about eating now, let's help." Li Zhu hugged Binbin up, patted his back and said, "Okay, it's all up to our daughter, Binbin don't cry." ”
Deng Chi looked at the triplets, and then at the lying people, his face was dead, and he thought to himself, indeed, such a person is like a boy, not like himself, and is always mistaken for a girl.
When Wu Baiju heard this, he said happily: "Li Xiucai is good, good people will be rewarded." ”
Li Zhu sighed and smiled. Wu Baiju said: "These three boys are all capable, although they only count the money of the two of them, and their status is lower, but their appearance is still good, only twenty-five taels." This lying boy was only counted six taels of silver, and four fifty-six taels. What do you think? ”
When Binbin heard this, he hurriedly raised his head from his father's arms and said to Wu Baiju: "Boss Wu, if you are lying down and ask our family to pay for treatment, you will also collect the money." You see, good deeds and good fortune cannot be limited to our family. If you are kind, you will accept fifty taels of silver from us, and the rest of the money will be used as medicine money for this little brother. ”
Wu Baiju thought about it for a while, and thought to himself, Pei Lan, who was lying down, didn't spend a penny of his own money, so he said, "Okay, even if your family has fifty taels of silver." ”
Hamahama smiled and thanked him. Li Hai, Li Tao, and Li Bo looked at Binbin, smiled and bowed to Wu Baiju to thank him. After Pei Qing, Pei Lu, and Pei Cui heard this, they knelt and turned and kowtowed to Wu Baiju to thank them.
Wu Baiju nodded, Li Quan took Li Zhu's money, and said to Wu Baiju: "Boss Wu, let's go to the yamen to go through the proper procedures as usual." ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu hurriedly took out another ten taels of silver, handed it to Li Quan, and said, "Brother Quan, I'm tired of you." Li Quan hurriedly pushed it away, and Li Zhu said: "Brother Quan, if you don't accept it, let me get it myself." ”
Li Quan sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll go, you take these boys back to my house." You don't want them to see the shop, I'll take it for you for a few days. ”
Li Zhu said gratefully: "Brother Quan, thank you." Li Quan patted Li Zhu's shoulder and smiled, but didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Ning Liu said unhappily: "My brother and I are definitely better than them, don't think that there are many of them, one of them has to take care of the sick, in fact, only two people can do things." Also, this medicine is very expensive. Since you want to buy it, why buy it and buy one that doesn't know whether you are alive or dead, in case you die at home, it will be filthy, and in this way, it will also affect the show talent you take the exam. ”
Pei Qing and Pei Lu both lowered their heads after hearing this, Pei Cui glared at Ning Liu, Ning Qi held Ning Liu's mouth with one hand, and said, "Pei Qing's medical treatment is good, it will be fine." When he's ready, you'll have four of you ready to use. ”
After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded, turned around to help Pei Qing, Pei Cui, and Pei Lu, and carefully carried Pei Lan onto the ox cart. After Pei Qing and Pei Lu carried Pei Lan into the ox cart, they bowed to Li Zhu, thanked them, went into the grass shed and took out two burdens, and said goodbye to Ning Qi before leaving with the car.
In the car, Li Zhu asked Sanpei: "The three of you, who is the eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother, what will you do?" ”
Pei Qing replied: "Li Xiucai, I am the eldest brother, Pei Cui is the second brother, Pei Lu is our youngest, and Pei Lan is our son." We see you as a good person and tell you the truth. We belong to the Pei family in Beijing, only the old man and the son. The eldest prince fought a war and copied some merchants, and our Pei family was one of them. Just because our Pei family is one of the ten richest people. Pei Lu and Pei Cui unconsciously shed tears after hearing this. After hearing this, Deng Chi looked at Pei Qing with a surprised expression. Binbin sat next to Deng Chi and grabbed Deng Chi's hand. Deng Chi looked at Binbin with surprise in his eyes, Binbin shook his head, Deng Chi's eyes were moist, he pursed his mouth, and didn't say anything.
Pei Qing narrowed his eyes and continued: "Li Xiucai, please rest assured, we have not been released, and we have not done anything bad. Pei Gongzi has never been out in the past, and the master doesn't want to affect Gongzi because of his identity as a businessman, so he is raised in another garden. The eldest prince copied the merchants, that is, he wanted money, but he did not kill them. Old Man Pei changed this and went. We are the sons of the Pei family, and our father and mother have long since left. There was no way to go, so I took my son to the south. Childe was not seriously ill, but he had not suffered, and his family changed, and he couldn't stand it for a while, so he fell unconscious. After a while, it will get better. Rest assured, we will take care of Childe. ”
Li Zhu nodded, the expression on Deng Chi's face remained unchanged, his palms were full of sweat, and he grabbed Binbin's hand. (To be continued.) )
