Chapter 8 The Lord is invited
Puhua Town is not far from Darui Capital, and it is more than 20 miles away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause there are a lot of merchants in the past, it can be regarded as a prosperous place. In the past few days, residents and merchants have said that there is a strange person in the town, who hums songs that no one has heard all day long, and the eyes of staring at other people's children are even more hairy.
"Stone, you come back to me!" A young woman grabbed her child by the collar and dragged her child back into the yard, and then struck a shudder on the child's forehead: "Didn't I tell you not to talk to that person?" If you don't listen to your mother's words, be careful that people will be abducted! ”
This person who can almost be as famous as Zhang Liao, who "makes Jiangdong's three-year-old child famous and dare not cry at night", is Xiao Jing.
With the travel expenses funded by the well-wishers of Lezhou, he took Dong Huaiyuan straight to Ruidu and settled down in Puhua Town. Originally, he planned to see the situation before entering the city; It's a pity that he couldn't survive Xiaoyuan's stalking, and finally decided to take the children to the capital to see it.
The day the two went was just in time for the festival, and the city was full of people. On the side of the road, Xiao Jing stopped to cheer for a seller, and disappeared as soon as he turned around.
Where did this bear kid go?
You have to try your luck in a second-tier city like Lezhou, let alone a metropolis like Ruidu. Xiao Jing looked for several laps but couldn't see anyone, and he wanted to repeat his old tricks, but the city was full of officers and soldiers patrolling the city, and there was no need to play at all.
"I've finally lost you, in the middle of a crowd!"
Xiao Jing roared and pushed open the creaking wooden door. He carried a pole made of straw on his shoulder, and the pole was bright red...... Sugar gourd.
A few days ago, he didn't have much money left. After thinking about it carefully, he had already moved from the inn to the big car shop, and it would be too ugly to let the big car shop blow it out again.
So, he bought pen and paper and wrote letters on the street; Squeezed out a little bit of the remaining money and began to buy materials to make sugar gourds.
After the crossing, Xiao Jingyuan sold sugar gourds, and he saw a lot when he read the novel. However, his sugar gourd sells differently: every time he sells one, he takes out a piece of paper full of words and wraps it in the place where he holds it, which is called "so non-sticky"; The real purpose is known only to him.
As for respecting the paper or something...... It's all so poor, I really can't take care of it!
It is also thanks to him that he worked tirelessly to walk the streets and alleys. There are fewer and fewer people like the young woman above who treats him as a bad person.
"Little brother is back?" An old man with silver hair in the courtyard was chopping wood, and when he saw him come in, he raised his head and smiled and said hello.
"Well, I'm back." Xiao Jing walked up in three steps and two steps and grabbed the axe: "You just have to rest, I'll chop this firewood!" ”
"Old man, I still have the strength to do it, how can there be a reason for this kind of thing to be done by guests." The old man laughed and grabbed back the handle of the axe: "Besides, the little brother was born in a rich and noble family at first glance, and he hasn't done much rough work since he was a child, and he almost hit his foot last time, so I'll come." ”
Xiao Jing's old face turned red. When he was looking for a place to live everywhere but was closed everywhere, it was the old man surnamed Wei who kindly took him in and let him stay; Although the old man's son was a merchant who often went far away, and the house was empty, he still didn't want to go.
"You keep this money." He took out a few pennies from his arms and stuffed them to the old man: "I can earn some money now, I really can't live in your house in vain, and eat and drink at the same time." ”
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Uncle Wei hurriedly refused: "If you say you don't want money, you don't want money." Besides, little brother, you also helped a lot by carrying water and sweeping the yard? ”
Xiao Jing was not polite, so he pushed the money back.
After pushing it like this for a long time, the old man grinned helplessly, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth: "That's the case, the little old man will accept this money." Little brother has also worked hard, let's add another dish later. ”
The addition of vegetables that Mr. Wei said was actually adding a stir-fried green vegetable. However, for a family like him, it is already very good to be able to do this.
Xiao Jing has experienced famine and knows what it's like to be hungry, so those hypocritical problems such as "no meat, no joy" in his previous life have long been thrown out of the clouds.
He grabbed the steamed bun in one hand and held the chopsticks in the other, except for letting Mr. Wei when he moved the chopsticks, the original Sven was not seen at all, and he looked like a disaster victim.
Seeing that Xiao Jing was about to choke, the old man smiled and scooped up a bowl of water and handed it over. The old woman was gone a few years ago, and his son was not at home for more than half of the year, so it was good to have such a person in the family to accompany him and talk.
While eating, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open. A servant-like man came in and looked around twice, then pulled his neck and shouted, "Old Wei Tou, Old Wei Tou!" ”
"Here it is!" Old Wei Tou hurriedly ran into the courtyard: "Xiao Dongzi, it's you." It's not easy to come once, so come in and sit down, right? ”
"I'm here to pass on the news, not to catch up." Xiao Dongzi hummed unnaturally: "The master said, he has another use for this courtyard, and he wants to take it back." Give you ten days, and then you can find another place to live. ”
"What?" Old Weitou's face immediately turned pale, if he moved out, where would he live?
"Xiao Dongzi, can you have a discussion?" His voice trembled a little: "I've been saddled for the old man for so many years, this is coming, can't be like this!" ”
Xiao Dongzi's expression was a little unbearable, but he still made a straight face: "It's useless to tell me, you can tell the master if you have something to say." ”
"Let's go, then go to the master!" Old Wei Tou was a little excited, he had always been in good spirits, and he couldn't even walk well.
Xiao Jing thought about it, then turned around and took out a pile of written paper from the cabinet and picked it up, and quickly followed the old man's footsteps. Since he arrived in the Great Rui Dynasty, he has not lived a few days of stopping. I finally have a place to live, and the owner is going to be kicked out again.
Whether it's for the simple and kind old Wei Tou or the self who is about to live on the street again, you can't stand by and watch!
Shao Yuanwai's residence is at the other end of town. When he arrived at the side door, Xiao Dongzi led Lao Wei Tou in, while Xiao Jing could only wait outside.
After less than a stick of incense, Old Wei Tou came out. His face became extremely gray, as if he had suddenly aged a lot; He muttered something in his mouth, and before he could take two steps, he sat down on the ground.
Xiao Jing hurriedly went up and asked a few words, but the old man's eyes were straight and he didn't answer anything. He said a few words of comfort, and went straight to the door that had just been closed, and knocked hard.
"Who are you?" A family member poked his head out and looked at Lao Weitou sitting on the ground, and then looked at Xiao Jing: "You are the son of Lao Weitou?" ”
"No, no, I'll just have a dozen soy sauce ......" Duang!
The door slammed shut, and the housekeeper inside shouted: "If you hit soy sauce, you will hit your soy sauce, what are you doing here!" ”
Xiao Jing touched his head with his hand, this language habit really can't be changed for a while.
He persevered again and went up to bang on the door, and after a while, the family appeared with an angry face: "What are you doing? Is this a pastime? Brothers......"
"Don't worry, brother!" Xiao Jing covered his mouth: "Here are the guests who live in the courtyard of Lao Weitou, if you want to see your master, please ask Brother Tai to help spread the word." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few pennies and stuffed them into his hand, and then let go of his mouth.
It's over, I don't have money to buy paper tomorrow, what can I do!
For the sake of Brother Kong Fang's face, the family finally didn't shout anymore, and his face softened a little. He looked Xiao Jing up and down for a while, and said disdainfully: "Who can see my lord if he wants to?" ”
Old Wei, who had been sitting for a long time, suddenly relieved himself, he got up and grabbed Xiao Jing's arm: "Little brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't go to the master." If you are beaten out by the master again, what should you do? ”
He took out one hand to wipe his tears and stomped his feet hard: "The matter of the house, the little old man can just think of a way." If you have another good one, I won't be able to stand you even more! ”
"Don't worry, what can I do?" Xiao Jing smiled and took out a piece of paper and stuffed it to the family, then turned back to Uncle Wei and said, "You go back first, and when I see the master, I will go to you." ”
The family on the side was illiterate, and he held the paper and fiddled with it repeatedly: "What is this?" ”
"Trouble brother, give this paper to your master." Xiao Jing thrust his waist in a stinky way and said, "If the master doesn't want to see me after seeing it, then I'll leave immediately." ”
Nonsense, if you don't leave, you still hold the door, and wait for someone to beat it away with a big stick?
The suspicious family said "oh", and glanced at Xiao Jing like a pitiful worm, before closing the door and passing it on.
He is gone for another incense stick. Old Wei Tou cared about Xiao Jing and refused to leave, and the old and the young waited by the door with big eyes.
Finally, the door creaked open. The housekeeper flashed out and said word by word: "This son, my lord is invited!" ”
