Chapter Eighty-Five: A Slim Hope
Zhuangyuan Lane was named after Qian Fu, the champion of the year during the Hongzhi period, and all the people who lived there were people from the Qian clan.
And most of the Qian clan have studied since childhood in order to become a leader, but unfortunately in addition to Qian Zheng, they have not even raised anyone over the years.
However, from morning to night, passers-by can often hear loud chanting, as if they are showing the outside world that although they have no fame, they are still scholars.
But since six months ago, this has changed.
In the courtyard of the big mansion at the west entrance of the alley, from morning to night, there are always reprimands, crashes, and even the sound of weapons colliding, which provokes passers-by to hurry, and neighbors next door frequently come to find trouble.
Hearing the loud shouting and scolding again, Qian Yu threw down the book in annoyance and scolded a few words in a low voice, "It's really Sven sweeping the floor!" ”
Among the children of the Qian family in this generation, there are two people who are recognized as the most talented, one is Qian Yuan, who has a stubborn and eccentric temperament since he was a child, and the other is Qian Yu, he is the only son of Qian Yuan's uncle, one year older than Qian Yuan, who passed the government examination the year before last, but the hospital examination was brushed down.
Qian Yu has been polite since he was a child, but unfortunately he has been suppressed by Qian Yuan in his studies, but fortunately, the wind evaluation far wins.
But after Qian Yuan returned from Hangzhou, no one mentioned Qian Yu anymore except for his own family.
Qian Yu, who was happy that Qian Yuan was knocked unconscious in the Nanjing Township Test, was quite depressed, and it took a long time to lift his spirits, but the gang of rough goods next door shouted every day...... Qian Yu was wondering if it could be deliberately instructed by that guy.
……
Zhang San glanced at the next door and whispered: "Brother Wang, you don't know, at the end of the year's funeral, the guy next door was laughing before he came out of the mourning hall, and the lady was so angry that she rolled her eyes. ”
Wang Yi, who has always had a more stable temperament over the years, smiled, "What's the use of this little action?" The young master doesn't know? ”
"Of course not." Zhang San tilted his head and thought about it, and was about to say something, when someone suddenly pushed the door in.
"Oops, Lao Yang is back." Zhang San said angrily: "Where did you go and come back?" ”
It was rare for Yang Wen not to reply, and he was even a little shy, he had always been cold-faced, and he actually smiled flatteringly, "Lao Zhang and Brother Wang are here." ”
Wang Yi smiled and poured a glass of water, and helped unload the luggage, while Zhang San went to rummage without any rules, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Oh, what a beautiful purse!" ”
"Hey, don't rumble!"
Zhang San has always been a bold man, and said, "It won't be that there is a good relationship outside, don't forget that you are now a young master...... No, you signed a deed of sale! ”
"Fuck off, the young master has already torn up the deed of sale!"
Wang Yi glanced at the purse strangely, and glanced at Yang Wen meaningfully, uh, this guy actually blushed a little, well, I guess he didn't run away.
"And the letter, not sealed?" Zhang San took out the letter paper and glanced at it a few times, and Yang Wen snatched it coldly.
"This is for the young master, believe it or not, the young master will deduct your monthly money for three months, and I won't speak for you anymore!"
Zhang San didn't seem to hear it, only patted his head suspiciously, "Ma Xiu's mother...... I think I've seen it somewhere. ”
Yang Wen carefully put the letter paper into his arms, and was stunned when he heard this, "Have you seen it?" Where have you seen it? ”
"Hey, I can't remember it all of a sudden, my brain ......"
Wang Yi next to him said quietly: "It won't be in "Zhongyi Water Margin", right?" ”
"Yes, you can't read any other books except "Zhongyi Water Margin". Yang Wen snorted, "Think about it slowly, I'll go find the young master first." ”
……
The next door finally quieted down, and Qian Yu read a few more pages, pondering to write a piece of craftsmanship to try his hand.
Before he could put down the pen, the next door shouted again, Qian Yuyan's hand shook, and the new clothes made during the New Year were dyed with several drops of ink.
Although the family was divided back then, his grandfather, who was the eldest son, got the most, but most of the seven brothers in his father's generation only knew pleasure, and the family was not rich now.
Pushing the door out angrily, Qian Yu saw the cousin who stood out in the crowd at a glance.
"Qian Yuan!"
It's been more than a year since he came to this era, and he hasn't heard anyone call him by name, Qian Yuan frowned and turned his head to see a slightly familiar young man rushing over through the crowd.
"Qian Yuan, this is Zhuangyuan Lane, can you have a face!"
"I got a gang of rough people to dance and sword here, and I ran wild on the road in the morning, which simply lost the face of the Qian family!"
The surroundings were quiet, and Zhang San, who was flushed, was about to pounce, but Wang Yi on the side hurriedly grabbed him.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Qian Yu was even more energetic, "Look at you, you still claim to be Huating Qian, your elbow is turned out, fortunately, Bo Ming went out to deceive." ”
Qian Yuan squinted and still didn't speak, his elbow turned out, should he say that he cooperated with the Taicang Wang family and swaggered?
"Humph!" Speaking of this, Qian Yu gloated, "I really thought that the Jiaxing Xiang family could look up to you!" ”
Oh, that's what I said.
There were already seven or eight people from the Qian clan gathered around, and they all had a look of approval on their faces when they heard this.
"I warn you, get rid of these rough men......"
Before he finished speaking, Qian Yuan turned his head to look at Zhang San, beckoned and asked, "Who is he?" ”
Zhang San blinked and immediately replied, "I don't know." ”
"Hmm." Qian Yuan nodded and stepped into the door, "If you dare to enter the door, you will fight out, and you will also fight if you shout outside." ”
"Yes!"
Seven or eight nursing homes spoke in unison, which startled the people around them, and they saw that the sticks raised in the hands of the nursing homes quickly dispersed.
Qian Yutie blushed and watched his cousin disappear into the door, wanting to say something, but his mouth didn't seem to obey the call, and he wanted to do something, but found that his legs and feet were a little weak.
said a lot of nonsense, but the other party not only ignored it and actually asked who he was, but also asked a subordinate...... For the arrogant Qian Yu, this is a naked humiliation.
There were also three or two clansmen muttering next to him, "It's not good to mess with Brother Yuan, who doesn't know his mouth!" ”
"Didn't you say that his temperament has changed drastically, and now he is as gentle as jade?"
"Ghost letter, three years old saw old ......"
"But that mouth is much stronger than before, and one sentence makes Brother Yu angry like this."
Too lazy to care about the outside, Qian Yuan only explained two sentences, and if anyone came to cause trouble in the future, he would call out, and turn to ask about business.
"Zhang San, you said you remembered?" Qian Yuan smiled with interest: "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
"It's nothing, last November, before going to Jiaxing, I caught a group of people shooting flowers in the morning, do you remember?"
"Go on." Qian Yuan took a sip of tea, frowned and put it down.
"It's all loose tea, go back and get some good ones for the young master...... Oh, and then Yang and I went in and searched and found a roster. Zhang San said with a smile: "Didn't the young master ask me not to just watch "Zhongyi Water Margin" at that time. ”
"Ma Xiu's mother saw it from that roster?" Qian Yuan nodded and looked at Yang Wen, "You said that you heard that the pair of sisters were trained and sold to Qinhuai River from Ma Xiu's mother, so to speak...... It should be this guy who took flowers and sold them to Ma Xiu's mother. ”
Taking the roster handed over by Zhang San, Qian Yuan glanced at it a few times, and was lucky, at least the clues were not broken, "Zhang San, this time you have merit, I will reward you back." ”
"Hey, thank you, Young Master."
Yang Wen glanced at the triumphant Zhang San unhappily, he had traveled two long distances and ran back and forth, and in the end, he didn't have much credit for this guy.
"That guy is still in the county jail." Although Zhang San didn't know the inside story, he took the initiative to make a suggestion: "Hou Jigao has a good relationship with the county, let him help bring people out?" ”
"Well, it's better for Lao Yang to do it." Qian Yuan thought about it, although there was little hope, it was worth giving it a try, "I may have to go to Shandong once when I go back." ”
After arranging things roughly, Qian Yuan turned his head and saw the purse on the corner desk, "What's that?" ”
"Lao Yang brought it back, eighty percent of them have a good relationship outside, young master, be careful that this guy has to slip away!"
"Take a look."
"Bring it!"
Looking down and taking a closer look, and sniffing again, Qian Yuan raised his head and looked at the blushing Yang Wen suspiciously, and then thought about the destination of this guy going to Shandong.
"Tsk, Yang Wen, people are sending goose feathers for thousands of miles, and you are sending chickens for thousands of miles."
Zhang San didn't know what was going on, but Wang Yi on the side was struggling to laugh, but he didn't expect the young master to understand.
"Tsk, it's still a boy chicken!" Qian Yuan sighed: "Forget it, you can rest, pick a clever one." ”
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you'll never come back!"
