Chapter 4 Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother
Mi Zhu is worthy of being a huge rich man in Xuzhou, and his shot is quite generous, and 10,000 yuan will soon arrive in the account and be directly sent to the servants sent by the pottery merchant.
In fact, it is normal, for a giant like the Mi family, it is not uncommon to squander it with the eldest son of the assassin family, and it is not necessary to pay a little if you want to fight for the family, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
It's just that the potter borrowed money so abruptly that the Mi brothers couldn't accept this reality for a while.
The potter is not such a shameless person, at least not particularly shameless...... Just because he has just come to this era, and he is a nominal assassin son, seeing that the autumn of troubled times is coming, it is really difficult to do things without some money in his hand.
Do you really want to go around shaking the tiger's body and scattering the king?
Or buy hearts and minds with impassioned speeches?
Or pretend to be righteous and show off your personality?
Or to touch those like-minded people with a sincere heart and lofty aspirations?
Please, you can't eat, who is going to talk to you about that calf!
**************************
The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, the potter was still dreaming of flushing toilets and facial tissues on his bed, but was woken up by a quick knock on the door.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! Get up! ”
The potter barely opened his bloodshot eyes, and struggled to his feet, his face full of hideousness.
Qingmeng was disturbed, and the potter's head was buzzing, wanting to cry, wanting to make trouble...... I want to beat someone.
The porter opened with a "bang", and a half-year-old man who seemed to be fourteen or fifteen years old rushed in.
"Big brother! Get up! Something is wrong! Father just said that you and I should go to the front hall to participate in the court meeting! ”
The person who came was none other than Tao Qian's second son, Tao Ying, the cheap brother of the pottery merchant.
The potter's eyes were red, and he looked at Tao Ying for a long time, stretched out his index finger and hooked Tao Ying.
Tao Ying was confused, didn't understand what the eldest brother meant, and walked to the side of the bed with the gesture of the pottery merchant: "Big brother, what do you mean?" ”
The potter lay backwards in a daze, raised one thigh, contracted with all his might, and then kicked straight forward.
"Phew!!"
"Oops! ——”
Tao Ying was caught off guard, and was kicked out by the potter lying on the bed, and slammed against the wall, sliding down like mud.
"Huhu ......" The potter rolled over and fell, and continued to sleep with his head covered.
Tao Ying lay on the ground, humming and chirping for a long time and didn't get up.
As the second son of the Tao family, Tao Ying is not only very close to his eldest brother in appearance, but also has the same personality.
His brother often sighed to himself: "If you lose a little bit to benefit the world, you will not be with it; Serve the world and don't take it. "It means that I won't do anything that is good for the country with a penny, and the country will give all the money to our brothers, and we don't want it.
No matter what is going on, they can't reach such a high spiritual level, Tao Qian's two sons are really wonderful...... Moreover, the brothers took the words out of context, completely misinterpreting Yang Zhu's ideology, if the ancestors had spirits in the sky, they would have to jump out of the grave circle and smoke them.
As soon as the second son of Tao got up this morning, he saw the old housekeeper Tao Hong, saying that Master Assassin Shi had just ordered that the two sons of the Zhuo Tao family had to attend the court meeting this morning.
Since calling Pengcheng, the two sons of Xuzhou have never participated in the government affairs, and today the old man Tao suddenly gave an order, which really scared Tao Ying...... Participating in the court meeting, the old man is going to let the two sons start to take up real positions? In this way, will there be no more idle days in the future? Isn't a good life fleeting!
The stakes were so high that Tao Ying didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to discuss with the potter...... How do you know that the potter is so angry when he gets up now, and before he can say anything, he is kicked against the wall head-on...... Who is this recruiting?
Thinking of this, Tao Ying lay on the ground and sobbed aggrievedly.
The cries pulled the potter out of his sleep, and this one was really comfortable...... Well? What's going on, why does it seem that there is a cat with its tail clamped in the house?
The potter straightened up and looked towards the cry, only to see Tao Ying lying on the ground, sobbing with a handful of snot and tears, pear blossoms with rain, Chu Chu pitiful.
"Second brother?" The potter called out uncertainly, vaguely remembering that this was his sibling.
Tao Ying was even more aggrieved, and his crying was louder.
"Second brother, you didn't sleep early in the morning and ran to my house to practice your throat?"
Tao Ying wiped his tears and struggled to stand up, choking up, "Big brother, have you forgotten what you just did?" ”
The potter frowned, thought about it seriously, and then shook his head firmly.
Tao Ying's face was ugly: "Big brother, are you so angry when you get up now?" And the memory is not good! ”
"Second brother, I really can't remember being a brother...... What's going on? ”
Tao pouted aggrievedly, raised his finger and pointed to the vaguely visible footprints on his chest.
The potter stared at Tao Ying's chest for a long time: "I kicked it?" ”
"Big brother, don't deliberately pretend to be confused with me! Could it be that I still kicked myself! ”
The potter was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly raised his hand and slapped his thigh: "By the way, I remembered, I am so murderous in my dream, if I am asleep, you must not come close!" ”
Tao Ying: "............"
Although Tao Ying is a little lazy, pedantic, and idle on weekdays, God is fortunate that he is not stupid...... The potter's words are obviously pure perfunctory, and he treats himself as a second goods.
My eldest brother, I still don't understand? Not to mention killing, you can't even hold a knife when you kill chickens.
After making a fuss, the potter's drowsiness disappeared, and he got up to wash and comb his hair, but saw Tao Ying standing aside, with a sad face.
The potter looked at him strangely: "Early in the morning, sad face, dead father?" ”
"What?!!" Tao Ying was shocked when he heard this.
"Phew!" The potter turned his head and took a sip, the role identity changed by mistake, and he forgot that he had a father with him...... If it's a first-time offender, I won't smoke my ear scraper, and I won't take it as an example.
"Early in the morning, sad and deflated?" The potter quickly changed his tune.
Tao Yingleng was stunned, raised his hand and clasped his ears, it was really scary, why couldn't he hear the words clearly?
Didn't you just let the eldest brother kick his ear deaf......
"If you eat deflated, you must have eaten, and if you are kicked, you will have to participate in the court meeting...... Brother, father, he ...... Father, he asked you and me to participate in today's court meeting, how do you think this is good? ”
The potter looked at Tao Ying strangely, as if he were looking at a monster.
"Will you participate? What's all the fuss. ”
Tao Ying looked very anxious: "However, you and I have never participated in court meetings. ”
"There's a first time for everything, what's so strange about that?"
Tao Ying hurriedly said: "But eldest brother, my father asked you and me to participate in the court meeting this time, but I am afraid that I will deliberately grant you and me an official position, and I am afraid that I will not be idle in the future......"
The back of the potter's head couldn't help but have a black line, what kind of habits and styles do the two brothers of the Tao family have on weekdays? That's just too much!
"My father is the assassin of Xuzhou, you and I are his son, it is our responsibility to share my father's worries, and I should be a little tired, we have a degree in our hearts, don't exhaust yourself to death." The potter sighed helplessly.
“…………”
Tao Ying didn't squeak, just looked at the potter resentfully, obviously very dissatisfied with the potter's rhetoric, which was different from the usual style.
The potter looked at Tao Ying with a complicated expression. Although it has not been a few days since he returned to this era, no matter what, this Tao Ying is his only brother in this world, and he is the only person who can put his heart to himself besides Tao Qian.
And this second brother Tao Ying is also like a potter, after Tao Qian's death, he did not leave any information in the long river of history, whether it is life or death, whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is no way to know......
In response to this, the potter's feelings for Tao Ying were unconsciously a little stronger, perhaps this is the so-called sympathy, or sympathy from the shoes of others......
Tao Qian is getting older and older, and after a hundred years of old manhood, Tao Ying's only reliance may be himself. And although he has the identity of a potter, in this era that did not belong to him, how can Tao Ying not rely on him?
patted Tao Ying's shoulder, and the potter showed a comforting smile: "Second brother, although the leisure days are very good, but they are not in line with reality, there are no real diligent people in this world, if you can be lazy, who wants to worry so much, but there is no way, sometimes, we have to grow up, we can't always be like a giant baby." ”
Tao Ying snorted and said, "Big brother, what is a giant baby?" “
"Adults who are mentally stuck at the level of babies are referred to as giant babies for short." The potter explained with a smile.
"Big brother, are you sarcastic about me like a giant baby?"
The potter shook his head: "Of course not, I'm just giving my brother an analogy." ”
Tao Ying was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Big brother, I feel that you seem to be a little different?" ”
"What's different?"
Tao Ying thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't say it either, in short, if it was the original brother, he would definitely not be able to say such a thing, at least he wouldn't know what the giant baby is......"
The potter smiled and said, "People always have to grow up, in this world, if you want to protect what you want to protect, you must first make changes ruthlessly." ”
"Brother, what do you want to protect?"
The potter smiled: "What I want to protect now is my only home and relatives who still exist in this world, that is, myself, my father, and you." ”
Tao Ying suddenly let out an "oh", as if he had an understanding, and unconsciously, there seemed to be a touch in his heart.
"I see, big brother, you're so good to me......"
The potter smiled kindly and punched Tao Ying: "Silly boy, you are my brother, I am not good to you, who is good to you?" ”
Tao Ying's eyes were a little red: "Then big brother, if one day, my brother and I divide the family and property with you, will you still protect me?" ”
patted Tao Ying's shoulder, and the pottery merchant smiled like a spring breeze: "Don't worry, second brother, if there is really such a day, I promise to kill you as soon as possible, and never overnight." ”
