Chapter 157: Hu Family Team (5/5)
Hu Sangbao wanted his other brother and younger brother to help Wang Lanling.
is a bit selfish, because the last time the eldest brother forgot his hometown to go to school, Wang Lanling solved it, so he also wanted the second brother and the younger brother to meet Wang Lanling.
Du Sheng said: "Yes, there is a shortage of people there, I will rest for one night in the city inn today, and wait for you at the city gate tomorrow, my lord said, let me rest for one night and then go back." ”
Hu Sangbao saw that Du Sheng agreed, so he said happily: "Okay, I'll take them to you tomorrow, where are you in the city?" Is it Panda Inn? ”
Du Sheng shook his head, "It's too expensive there, I live in Home, and this is also the camp of the imperial court, which is much cheaper than Yuelai." ”
After saying yes, Hu Sangbao went home.
Her family lives in the alleys of the alleys, not the kind of courtyards, but the kind of very narrow and crowded road, house in the house.
High-rise buildings are mainly gathered in the outside area, not only the county seat, but also only two roads in Heishui County, and the ones next to these two roads are good houses.
Poor people are a very normal existence.
Hu Sangbao is holding a bowl of broken dumplings, which is a welfare bar for working in a dumpling shop, and it is all leftovers for customers to eat.
"Uncle Zhang, this is today." Hu Sangbao poured the dumplings from the bowl into a dog bowl when he passed by a small door.
Uncle Zhang, who was smoking, looked at the dumplings in the dog bowl, touched two cents from his pocket and threw them out.
Hu Sangbao stretched out his hand and grabbed the two-cent coin, and said happily: "Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" I'll go back first! ”
Soon, Hu Sangbao disappeared into the small alley.
These meat dumplings, Hu Sangbao will not be taken home to eat, but promised to people and sold to dog owners.
It's an extra snack.
Despite being poor, Hu Sanghui understands some things, such as the importance of hygiene and cleanliness.
Hu Sangbao's home is a small house, located three-quarters of a dark alley, with a rectangular walkway at the door, which is also the passage of the alley.
On one side of the alley is a wall, which is the courtyard wall of a large family, and in this one-meter-two aisle, there are some things from people next to it, so it is very difficult to walk.
In front of his house, Hu Sangbao knocked on the door, "Mother, it's me, Sanghui." ”
The door was quickly opened, and a woman opened the door for Hu Sangbao and let Hu Sangyu in.
"I'm back, why is it so late today?"
The door was closed, and Hu Sangwei's home was a hut of more than ten square meters, except for a bed and a stove, it was basically a pile of miscellaneous items.
In addition to Hu Sangbao's mother, there was also a teenager watching "Junior High School Trigonometry" next to the bed, and there was a little boy who was already asleep not far away.
Hu Sangbao said: "Mother, is the eldest brother spending the night in school again today?" ”
Hu Shi said gently: "Your eldest brother is promising now, the adults of the Zhao family have spoken to the school, and the principal will let him live in the school's utility room, so that he can study." ”
The backbone of the literati has never been aimed at people like Lao Zhao......
Although Lao Zhao is not a eunuch, what he does is the business of Jinyiwei.
Jinyiwei is inside, and the six doors are outside.
The county guard asked this group of people to do something, what rules and regulations would they talk about, and the people in Lao Zhao's family said hello, and these people didn't dare to let go of their farts.
The rights and status of the county guard are higher than Lao Zhao, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and it is inconvenient to do some things when the official is too big.
Even if he is an emperor, he can't do anything about some literati who don't want to die, and killing too many people will ruin his reputation......
Hu Sangbao nodded and said, "Mother, Wang Lanling of Heishui County sent someone to find me today. ”
Hu and Hu Guiqiao on the other side all raised their heads and looked at Hu Sangbao.
Hu Shi quickly said: "What is the matter with you?" What about people now? ”
Hu Sangbao told the matter again and expressed his opinion, "Wang Lanling bought me a book last time, and he was very good to the eldest brother and me, and I also want to go over with the second brother and the younger brother." ”
Hu Guiqiao said: "Mother, I'll go!" ”
Hu Shi thought for a while, and quickly said: "Zhi'en Tu Bao is right, it's just that your eldest brother is preparing for the exam now, just letting your second brother and younger brother go over, it will inevitably make people think that we don't know what to do." ”
"That's it, I'll take the three of you over to help, even if it's laundry and cooking, you can help a little, your eldest brother's affairs, when it arrives, I'll see what Lord Wang means, and it's not too late to let your eldest brother go over depending on the situation."
Hu Shi looked at his second son again, "Guiqiao, you go and talk to the people at the grain station tomorrow morning, even if you don't do anything over there, you don't need money, you have to inform people, so as not to worry about them." ”
Hu Guiqiao nodded, "I see." ”
Hu Sangbao quickly said: "I know it too!" ”
After thinking about it, Hu Shi said again: "Rest early, I'll pack up and get up early tomorrow." ”
The next day, Du Sheng got up early and went to the door of the inn to wait for someone.
It didn't take long to see the girl I saw yesterday, but the other party was accompanied by a woman carrying a burden.
"Brother Du, this is my mother, my second brother went to the grain station, and the younger brother went to tell the eldest brother about us, and I will come back later."
Hu Sangbao and Du Sheng talked about the family affairs, this time Wang Lanling asked someone to help, and their family was willing to go over to help.
Du Sheng said formally: "Then I'll just wait, you haven't eaten yet, right?" I'm going to buy some pies. ”
Hu Shi quickly said: "Don't bother, we are not hungry. ”
Du Sheng explained: "If the adults are here, they will definitely buy you some food, and this kindness is remembered on the adults, I will go to buy some hot cakes, and there may be some delay on the way." ”
If Du Sheng runs alone, he will soon be able to reach Heishui County, but with this orphan and widow, it will take most of the day.
When Hu Shi heard this, he nodded and said, "Then I won't shirk anymore, thank you Lord Wang and Du Zhuangshi!" ”
Du Sheng went out to buy breakfast, his family is a very particular person, and he often goes out to buy breakfast to eat, so everyone has also developed the habit of eating breakfast.
When Du Sheng bought food for five people and returned to the door, he saw that the other two children had returned.
One was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and the other was a twelve-thirteen-year-old child.
Hu Guiqiao saw that Du Sheng was back, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Du, I am Hu Guiqiao, when I went to the grain station to resign, the grain officer knew about our trip to Heishui County, and the grain transport officer Gongliang said that he could take us to the dock in Heishui County." ”
When Du Sheng heard this, he said suspiciously: "Who is Lord Gongliang?" ”
Du Sheng didn't know about Gongliangyan, he had always been helping in the Water Affairs Department and had never unloaded goods at the dock.
Hu Guiqiao explained, "The grain transported by Lord Gongliang is to go to Heishui County and give it to Lord Wang. ”
In this way, it is easy to understand, so several people took Gongliangyan's fleet and went to Heishui County with Gongliangyan.
