Chapter 37: Chen Yao's Deceased
took out a 300 yuan Wuwei money village from his body, and after handing the silver ticket to the young man when he met, Huang Qiong said: "You take these first, and settle the food money and store money owed by this Jia Ye." If there is still something lacking to tell me, if there is anything left, it will be covered here for a few days according to the etiquette. ”
After that, Huang Qiong took out another silver ticket of 500 yuan and handed it to the young man who was a little stunned for his generosity: "Please also ask your store to help Zhang Luo in the mourning hall, and arrange what should be arranged, and hire some people to help Zhang Luo." I'm helping to buy a good coffin, so that the old man can enter the coffin earlier."
The guy looked at the two silver tickets that Huang Qiong stuffed into his hand, obviously at a loss. It's the first time he's seen so much money when he's grown up. After all, as a guy in a small inn, he only has two dollars a month. As soon as Huang Qiong made a move, he was eight hundred times, which scared him somewhat.
It took him a while to react, and he took out the 500 yuan silver ticket again, and wanted to return it to Huang Qiong: "This master, this money is too much." Our shopkeeper said that the shop money and food money owed by Jia Ye and his son before were all exempted from the shop. The small ones really don't dare to collect this money. As for chartering a small shop for a few days, decorating the mourning hall and buying a coffin, it won't take five hundred yuan. ”
"If you want to take it, you will take it, although you Jia Ye is a little poor, but your Jia Ye never owes money and does not pay it back. What's more, this guy is now your master of Jia Ye, who will pay for this money? You just do what he says, and the rest of the money will be counted as Jia Ye thanks you for taking care of Jia Ye for most of the year. Before Huang Qiong could speak, Jia Quan, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke.
Huang Qiong ignored the guy who took his money to charge a large sum, and just said to the guy: "Don't worry about that guy, I'll take it for you." It's not easy for you to run a small business, and I have a lot of money on hand, not worse than these. What's more, I'm going to trouble your store these days, even if there is more, it's my gratitude. ”
It's just that no matter how Huang Qiong persuaded him, the young man resolutely refused to accept it: "Master, you let us help decorate the mourning hall and Zhang Luo, these small things can be done." Whether you can collect this money or not, and the small ones still have to ask the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper does not agree, the small one will not dare to accept it. Why don't you wait a minute, and the little one will invite the shopkeeper and you will talk to him personally? ”
Looking at this guy's performance, Huang Qiong nodded with satisfaction. This shop is so disgraced, and there are few customers, presumably the business is just average. Even so, there was no money to be seen, and no lion opened his mouth. If a guy is like this, this boss is even worse. Even if this guy doesn't say it, Huang Qiong plans to meet the owner of this house.
That guy went fast and came back quickly. Just when Huang Qiong was looking at the inn, the young man came to Huang Qiong with a middle-aged man wearing half-used clothes and looking honest and honest.
After the middle-aged man saw Huang Qiong, he arched his hand and said, "This master, you are the friend of Mr. Jia in the mouth of the guy in the shop?" Your mind, the small shop still understands it, but this money can never be collected. Since the shop promised to waive the store money and meal money of Mr. Jia's father and son, it still has to do what it says. ”
"Although the small shop is small, it must be said and done. Again, when everyone is out of the house, when everyone is in trouble, it is also appropriate to take care of each other. This master, although you are rich, Mr. Jia, father and son have been in the shop for so long, and they have not taught the guys to read and write on weekdays, and they have also formed a good relationship with the shop. ”
"Now that Mr. Jia has not made progress, but has passed away, the small shop has also got a heart, right? If you take the money back, you can be regarded as fulfilling the dignity of the small store. If you really have this heart, help this Mr. Jia and find him a good reading condition, so that he can settle down to study, so that he can be named on the gold list as soon as possible, which can be regarded as an explanation for the old man in our store. ”
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Huang Qiong couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart. If this person knows who he is, it is very likely that he wants to have a relationship when he says this. But when he first came in, the guy said something similar before he took out the silver ticket. It is enough to show that the shopkeeper's words are sincere.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong stuffed the silver ticket in his hand back: "Your store's mind is being received for Jia Quan." Since your store insists on waiving the store money of their father and son, then the cost of this funeral must not be allowed to be paid by the store again. Your store is also a small business, and it is not good to owe too much at once, and I will pay the expenses. ”
The shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket that Huang Qiong had forced over, hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted the silver ticket of 300 yuan and said, "Mr. Jia met you, a nobleman, and it can be regarded as the two of them accumulating yin virtue. Anyway, for Old Man Jia's funeral, the shop tried its best to help Zhang Luo. I'm going to send someone to buy a good coffin. ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper said: "Please rest assured, with the help of you, a nobleman, the small shop will definitely not let the old man go so shabby." But may I ask where your mansion is, and when the matter is over, the shop will send the remaining money and account books to your mansion. ”
The shopkeeper's request made Huang Qiong a little embarrassed, and she really didn't know how to answer for a while. He didn't want to put up the signboard of his Hejian County Mansion to scare people, nor did he want to expose his identity in front of too many outsiders. After all, if you come to this kind of place, you can't take a bite if you let that imperial history know.
King Yong is just a so-called ninth-rate person in the capital, and if he communicates more, he will be scolded all day long, thinking that his actions are out of the grace of heaven. When I come to myself, I am afraid that the punishment will be heavier. What's more, not to mention the imperial history, even the prince is waiting there to find his own fault.
doesn't want to reveal his identity, in addition to these external reasons, Huang Qiong also has a layer of inner reasons. The experience of his previous life made him dare not trust anyone easily. Even if this shopkeeper is honest and benevolent, he can't believe that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. You can keep this line for now, and it would be better to be more cautious about more things.
Huang Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "I won't read the account book, I will take the time to take a look at it in the next two days." As for the character of your shopkeeper, I still believe it. The shopkeeper should not scruple too much, it doesn't matter about the money. As long as the old man can walk, it will become a scenery, and it can be regarded as a fulfillment of Jia Quan's filial piety. ”
"Childe's words are true, but the shop can't do that. Since you've paid for it, I'm going to have to make it clear. Although the small shop is small, the word integrity still needs to be talked about. If you really don't want to reveal your identity, then after seven days, you can send someone to collect the accounts and bring this Jia Ye back to the house. ”
The eyes of this shopkeeper are still very poisonous, although Huang Qiong is just an ordinary scholar outfit at this time, and he is also very young. But not to mention the generosity, there are three people who show respect to him behind him, indicating that his identity is either rich or expensive. Huang Qiong didn't want to tell his address, but he wasn't too reluctant.
"There is no need for accounts, you are a human being, we can still trust it. If you are also untrustworthy, there will be no one in this world to trust. For this shopkeeper's compromise suggestion, Huang Qiong hadn't spoken yet, and the cold woman's voice behind him solved the problem for him.
"Xiao Yao? Is it really you? The shopkeeper, who had a serious face just now, heard this voice, and his face became extremely surprised. Even a little rude, he pulled Huang Qiong away from him, and walked in front of Chen Yao, who didn't know when he came here, with a happy face.
Looking at that posture, if it weren't for the public, I'm afraid that the beautiful woman who appeared in front of him would have been hugged in his arms a long time ago. Seeing this guy's posture, Huang Qiong finally knew what her mother's words that she couldn't delay Chen Yao meant. It turned out that outside the palace, there were really people waiting for Aunt Yao.
It's just that after meeting Chen Yao, the shopkeeper who was extremely enthusiastic. Chen Yao in front of him looked quite cold, except for a faint blush on his face to tell others that the two were not strangers, but he didn't say anything to him. just walked up to Huang Qiong and said, "Little master, why did you come here?" It's a mixed bag, and it's not the place you should be. ”
"Aunt Yao, why are you here too?" Huang Qiong didn't answer Chen Yao's words, but asked with some interest: "You and this shopkeeper have known each other before?" ”
"When I returned home, I heard people in the house say that you came out to look for me. You've never been out alone since you were a child, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so I inquired all the way to find it. This person is an old man I met when I was studying with my young lady, and I didn't have much contact. Little master, it's time for us to go back, this is not for you. ”
Chen Yao's answer was obviously very prevaricating. If there really isn't much interaction, that person won't be ecstatic after seeing her. And Huang Qiong felt that his ecstasy was definitely not pretending, he could pretend to be it, it was really from the heart.
And after seeing this person, although Chen Yao didn't show anything, a trace of blush appeared on her face, which also betrayed the true emotions in her heart at the moment. Chen Yao has followed Huang Qiong's mother for many years, although she is not as cold as Huang Qiong's mother. But I also developed a mentality that I don't get emotional easily. The flush on her face this time has already shown that her heart is definitely not so calm as it seems.
Huang Qiong listened to Chen Yao and replied somewhat insincerely. didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them meaningfully, and now he smiled before saying to the shopkeeper: "Since you and Aunt Yao know each other, it's a little bad for me to insist on refusing." Aunt Yao can trust people, I naturally can trust too. ”
"So, when it's done. If you think you need it, send the accounts to the palace of the Hejian County. You can come to me at any time, and if I'm not there, you can give the accounts to Aunt Yao, or to Lehi. After that, Huang Qiong pointed at Li Hai and arched his hand to leave.
As soon as Huang Qiong left, Chen Yao beside him would naturally leave with him. And when the two men left, the shopkeeper said nothing. Just looked at the backs of the two people, especially Chen Yaojiao's good back in a daze. Even the guys around him didn't hear him shouting several times.
