Hajlan was very annoyed, these two little villains, who takes care of you every day? You were called Amma first! Brother Jiu, who had just come back, was very proud, hugged his son and daughter and began to prick the tender faces of the two little villains: "Our Rui Rui and Jing Jing are really smart!" "After tying, pick it up and shake it around.

Hajlan told himself that these two little villains just didn't understand the meaning at all, they always had 'ahhhhh Don't believe me, listen, 'amu'.

Brother Jiu was playing happily with the children, he held Jing Jing and Rui Rui in both hands, and teased the children with a small hydrangea bought from a business trip in his hand, and asked them to call people, Jing Jing and Rui Rui both called out vaguely: "Amma." ”

Brother Le Dejiu kissed them several times, and the kiss was quiet, and the sound that was already vague was even more vague, and he stopped according to the rare tendency to sprinkle golden beans, while Rui Rui twisted his body to avoid his beloved kiss.

Hajlan smiled, "Jing Jing and Rui Rui are going to take a bath, and it will be time to go to bed in a while." Amma has just come back, and she must have been tired from the day today, so I'll play with you tomorrow morning. ”

No one paid attention to Hajlan, which made Hajlan feel extremely frustrated.

The younger ones couldn't be reasonable, so they could only preach to the older children, so Hajlan said to the ninth elder brother: "Master, the children have to take a bath and go to bed, the children go to bed relatively early at night, if they don't sleep after a while, they will definitely make a mistake before going to bed, especially if they are quiet, they will cry a lot." Besides, you have to rest well when you just come back. ”

Brother Jiu looked at Hajlan, and then turned his head to teach his son and daughter: "It's called Eniang, it's not easy for Eniang to give birth to you, why don't you speak?" Be quiet, call Eniang, don't call her angry, she's angry, you should have no milk tomorrow. Rui Rui, no matter how capable a man is, he has to ask a woman to beg for food, and he can't offend his mother, and his wife can't be offended......"

Hajlan stretched out his hand and said, "Come, Rui Rui, Eniang hug." ”

Rui Rui blinked, thought for a moment, and reached out his hand, and lunged towards Hajran.

After Hadilan took it, Rui Rui kissed Hadilan fiercely, Hadiran patted him on the back and said, "Little villain, it's useless to kiss, call Eniang, alas, let's go to the shower and change clothes first, and then go to bed." ”

Brother Nine followed Jing Jing with his arms, standing Jing Jing on the palm of his hand, up and down, Jing Jing's big eyes smiled into crescent moons, which also attracted Rui Rui to look at Jing Jing with envy, "Ah, Ah" shouted, Hajilan turned his head and glared at the funny Nine Elder Brother, Nine Elder Brother took Rui Rui from Ha Jilan's hand, hugged one with both hands, and said with a smile: "Ama will send you to take a bath." ”

The two children competed to flatter Brother Jiu, leaving Brother Jiu with a look of saliva, and then Brother Jiu was kicked out of the bathroom by Hajilan and let him rest.

Brother Jiu returned to the main house with a smile on his face, drinking tea, and thinking about some things from this business trip.

Anhui Province, Tongcheng County, outside the west gate of a small stream, set up a tea shed, here near the official road, and next to the county seat. Passers-by, peddlers, and idlers from the city all come here to drink tea, swing the dragon gate array, and some lie on the bare stone slabs, their braids are coiled, and the snoring of their four feet is like thunder, and they are covered in sweat.

"It's better to be winter!" A middle-aged man who was as fat as a pig said, "It's cold in winter, Lao Tzu wears thicker, or else make a fire and drill the quilt!" This damn weather, this autumn tiger is really too poisonous, it's about to catch up with the hot day, there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide, I can't wait to peel off the skin to find something cool! ”

Next to him, a thin black man with protruding ribs, long hair, who hadn't shaved for two months, and his forehead was unkempt, said with a smile: "Fourth Master Zhang, this is what I listen to, it's not bad from farting!" Like me, Tian Gui, I don't look forward to winter for the rest of my life! How good the weather is, whether you are rich or poor, you can be shirtless, who can tell that you are rich and I am poor? Or, you're white and I'm black, you're fat and I'm thin? If it snows heavily in winter, and you live in a broken thatched hermitage that leaks around, and your head is covered with rotten robes, you will know what it means to have nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide! ”

An old man next to him smiled: "Yes! The rich and the poor are not a matter of fact! ”

Zhang Siye took a big sip of tea and said with a dry laugh: "What kind of 'rich man' am I? However, relying on the blessing of the ancestors, the old man was lifted, and he ended up in a false name! - Say that sorghum flowers are illiterate, stupid, ghosts don't believe it, mud-legged singles, fine! If you want to talk about wealth, it is still those big salt dogs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, go to the mainland, four or five thousand taels of silver, less than fifty or sixty thousand a year, that silver——"

His eyes widened and his hands were wide open, "The sea is on!" ”

Speaking of selling smuggled salt, a young man who had been sitting on the stone bar silently moved uneasily, touched a coarse cloth bag on the ground, lowered his straw hat to cover his face, and leaned against a tree to pretend to be a snooze. Sitting next to him was also a young man of about twenty years old, wearing coarse cloth buttoned shoulders, green cloth trousers pulled up tall, but he was very handsome, because he saw the young man next to him touching his pocket and pretending to be asleep, so he turned sideways and slapped the young man on the shoulder, and shouted: "Hey! Wake up! ”

"What's the matter?" The young man was startled, took off his hat and saw that it was a guest drinking tea next to him, and asked with suspicion in his eyes, "Did you call me?" ”

"My surname is Yin, my name is Yin Jiu, what about you?" The young man wearing the shoulder smiled and said, "Such a poisonous autumn tiger, you have been sitting for a long time, why don't you buy tea to drink?" ”

The young man was probably already very thirsty, he looked at Yin Jiu in a daze, licked his dry lips, paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "My name is Fifth Brother Zhao, thank you Brother Yin, I have to hurry and stop eating." ”

Yin Jiu smiled, called tea for the guy again, and said, "You don't have to dodge, it's not a shame to have no money, look at this day, can you walk?" Let's have some tea! Look at the other people's side, talking while drinking tea, happy, we are sitting bored, how boring! ”

Fifth Brother Zhao took the tea embarrassedly, took a sip, glanced at the kind-hearted young man gratefully, and said, "Listen to your Beijing accent, this powerful faction is also like a Sven person, come to Tongcheng to run business?" ”

Yin Jiu laughed and said, "What do you think I look like a Sven? I'm a Swu! ”

Fifth Brother Zhao said with a smile: "Although you are wearing a slump, you can't hide it from me, you are not a rich and noble family, where did you come from this sandalwood fan, your fingers are thin and white, and you look like a person who has never done rough work!" ”

"Oh? Oh......" Yin Jiu looked at the fan in his hand, this is a mud gold carved sandalwood fan, with a white marble pendant on the bottom, and the fan is written in cursive, which is very precious, and sure enough, it is difficult to match his own clothes, Yin Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "You are careful!" My family is indeed not poor, but like the fourth master Zhang Cai, he has 200 acres of land, and there are no others, let alone a salt merchant. ”

Fifth Brother Zhao said: "What is a salt merchant? You go north from this Tongcheng, there is a Li Laoba two hundred miles away, you ask how much furniture he has, you will know what it means to be rich! Zhang Siye said that the rich are not having a good time when it is hot, and Li Laoba is afraid that there will be dozens of pots of ice cubes in the house, and a few girls are fanning! People are more angry than people! ”

Zhang Siye was boasting about the salt merchant: "...... That identity momentum, when I saw the platform, I just asked An Dao to be tired, and it was not a problem in the prefecture and county, so I swaggered and sat opposite ......"

said spittle, because he heard the words of Fifth Brother Zhao here, he patted his thigh with a fan and said, "What Li Laoba!" Have you seen the ladies in the Salt Horn? Let's Tongcheng, when Master Qian was in office, he accompanied Wei Laojiu in the old salt shop in Maoyuan all day long to eat and drink, like a dog with his tail upside down, I saw it with my own eyes! No, what kind of Huangzi book did Dai Mingshi write, what is it called "Nanshan Collection", which scolded the current Long Live Lord, and affected the Master of Tongcheng Fangbao. Master Fang's house was raided and roped to Beijing. Master Qian was taken off because of a case of rebellion in the country. The newly appointed Lord Shi Shilun Shi, get off the car today, and the first order is to invite Wei Laojiu and the salt merchants of Hecheng to Wufu Building to eat and drink! I heard that two princes and elder brothers came to Beijing, and they invited the big salt brine from the house, Daoli and the province to eat and talk! Gee...... What's that going on? ”

He relied on being a native of Tongcheng and a solid family, and his official face was open, and his speech was very rude, Yin Jiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

It turned out that this "Yin Jiu" was one of the two princes, Aixinjue Luo Yinzhen, who was the ninth son of today's son Kangxi, and was ordered to accompany the fourth elder brother Yinzhen to Anhui to inspect the Yellow River. Tianhuang is noble, and a golden branch and jade leaf are serious! Hearing that Shi Shilun also invited a salt merchant, he was about to speak, but he saw several officials coming in the distance, and a middle-aged man in his forties was wearing a white robe of the field, but he was sitting in a sedan chair carried by two people, and went straight to the tea shed.

"Wei Jiuye!" Zhang Siye hurriedly put on his coat, stood up with a smile on his face, looked at the people in the tea shed ostentiously, and said, "Why are you here too?" Just now, we are still praising your old man's wealth and kindness! ”

Brother Jiu only knew at this moment that "Wei Jiuye" turned out to be "Wei Laojiu", he held his breath, stilted Erlang's legs, and looked at this salt merchant carefully, only to see Wei Laojiu "um", and did not talk to Zhang Siye, with a gloomy face, he searched with his eyes for a long time, paced to Brother Jiu, pointed at Zhao Wuge and said: "This is a smuggler of salt, you take him down!" ”

Several officials agreed, pounced on Fifth Brother Zhao who was in a daze, crossed his arms, and kicked his buttocks again. That Fifth Brother Zhao has kung fu on him, but he didn't move at all! A servant kicked the pocket, and it was heavy, so he lifted it up, bared his teeth and grinned: "There is still water in the eyes of the ninth master!" He's a fucking salt dealer! ”

After that, he pushed Fifth Brother Zhao back, "Let's go!" What are you stunned about? Did the shell Lang get into the night pot and pretend to be a black old bag? ”

Another official came over, put the cloth bag on Zhao Wuge's neck, and said with a smile: "This hot day, ask the master to carry private salt for you?" I look at you as if you've practiced the tricks, or you work hard yourself! After that, he pushed Fifth Brother Zhao and left, and the people around him were already stunned.

"Slow!" Brother Jiu suddenly waved his hand, tucked the fan into his waist and stood up, pointed to the cloth bag and said, "Half of this salt is mine, you can't take it all!" ”

"Yo ho!" The officials couldn't help but look at each other and smile, "It's quite righteous!" Then you can go with it! ”

People are sandwiched between seven and eight, and this one says, "This kid is fifty percent at most!" The other said, "Fifty percent also exalted him, and I see, it's two hundred and five!" With a burst of laughter, he escorted Brother Jiu and Fifth Brother Zhao into the city.

The county yamen is next door to the Chenghuang Temple on Xiguan Street, and the drum on the wall of the yamen has not been knocked for a long time, and it has fallen a thick layer of ash. The predecessor Qian County Commander was removed from his post because he was printed, so the box of official boots hung on the side empty. Brother Jiu followed the officials into the second gate, and saw that there were already two people under the big locust tree in the courtyard of the yamen, and like Fifth Brother Zhao, they all had a pocket next to them, and it seemed that they were with Fifth Brother Zhao, and the three of them nodded their heads in understanding, and the two people asked, "Fifth Brother, who is this?" Why did you come too? ”

Fifth Brother Zhao looked at Brother Jiu, and complained, "What are you doing?" Why bother to come, stir up the sin and suffer? ”

"Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, is he willing to beat, and he is willing to suffer!" Brother Jiu smiled, looked at the empty lobby, and replied casually: "I like to make a group and have a good time!" ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the side door, and a middle-aged man in his fifties, thin and thin, dressed in a five-python and four-pawed robe, decorated with seahorse supplements, and a new plain gold-topped hat with long braids hanging down, paced out step by step and walked towards the hall, and the attendant hurriedly shouted: "Master Shi has ascended to the hall!" ”

The drums rang out three times, and the eight servants walked in with a "oh-" with water and fire sticks in their hands, and the geese were lined up. A qiē returned to silence. Seeing that Shi Shilun had been promoted, the master of the torture room whispered to Wei Laojiu: "I'll go up and take a look, Ninth Master, this Master Shi is very tough, you should be careful." ”

Because he was very close, Brother Jiu saw his master go to the side of the case and waved his hand, and leaned over to Shi Shilun's side and whispered something. Shi Shilun held a piece of paper and looked at it for a long time, Fang nodded and said something. The master still retreated, and went to Wei Laojiu and said, "Master, please you!" ”

"I'll go up now." Wei Laojiu glanced at Brother Jiu, Fifth Brother Zhao and others, followed the master to the hall with a dry cough, stood in front of the desk and bowed to Shi Shilun, and said, "Old husband ancestor, the late family member Wei Ren has come to see you!" ”

Shi Shilun sighed. With a smile on his face, he picked up the lens on the table and took a photo, and asked, "Are you from Shaanxi?" Which one? I don't listen to the accent like a Shaanxi person! ”

Brother Jiu watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help sneering secretly, he had heard for a long time that Shi Shilun was a Qing official, and it seemed that he was not necessarily, he was originally the governor of the government, and if he was demoted to a county order, he was called "old man's ancestor" below, and he actually accepted it calmly. When listening attentively, Wei Laojiu replied with a smile: "I am an inner yellow person." (To be continued.) )
