Chapter 5 Gift-Giving (2)

Please brothers don't forget the flowers and collections! Yunming would like to thank you for your continued support! )

The city of Quanzhou Mansion has become chaotic, and the soldiers in the city are also patrolling around nervously, and the city is no longer as noisy as it used to be.

"Big ...... My lord, there is a report from the city gate that someone has broken the gate shaft of the city gate in the middle of the night, and this morning, when the city gate fell, the two thieves had escaped in the chaos. A centurion ran into the study of the commander Zakocha from outside in a panic, and knelt down to report.

There was a fierce glint on Zakocha's face, and his heart was very anxious, he had been sitting here for hours since yesterday's accident and waiting for news.

He was still holding the letter in his hand, the envelope had been opened by him, and the contents had been memorized by his chest, and his body was still trembling slightly.

Hearing the report of his centurion, he immediately stood up and walked a few steps to the centurion.

"Bastard, why are you only reporting what happened in the morning? Is there any news about that woman? He stretched out his hand and picked up the centurion.

"Report to your lordship, the ten-captain guarding the city gate has been beheaded by me, and he is afraid that you will blame him so he will hide the truth! However, the woman did not go out of the city with the two men, and I am sure she must still be in the city! The centurion said with some fear.

"Give me a city-wide search, door-to-door! In addition, send five teams of cavalry to chase after the two red turban thieves for me, and must not let them escape, notify the nearby post station, quickly pass the news out, and be sure to bring their heads back, otherwise they will take your heads is to ask, do you understand? Zakocha said with a fierce glint in his eyes, and let go of the centurion's collar.

"Yes, sir!" The centurion had a helpless and panicked expression on his face, and he ran outside with a rolling belt.

"The county lord? I actually sent a female streamer to check on me, and since I killed her guard, I was shocked again! I have already committed a capital crime, so I don't need to scruple about killing her directly, and then I will say that she has not arrived in Quanzhou Mansion to save my life! Zakocha's body trembled slightly, but a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"There are really red turban thieves in the city, if these two red turban thieves can be caught, they will be executed directly, and then the heads will be sent to the top, they will definitely be able to hide it, and then Li Qing in Longwang Town will be convicted for not greeting the county lord in time." Thinking of this, Zakocha was a little settled in his heart.

said that Shang Yu was holding those books and was waiting for Liu Xingbao's answer, and Liu Xingbao immediately laughed at this time.

"Hahaha! You kid, the idea is very interesting, these books are I sent you as a record of learning experience, that is, to record what you usually do, and then open it to see and summarize, that will definitely be a kind of wealth for you, the so-called wordless book in the world, is also to let you apply what you have learned to write out the experience! Liu Xingbao laughed before he said, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.

Shang Yu understood Mr.'s intentions, and said with a hint of shame on his face: "It turns out that Mr. gave me these blank books to be my secretary, so that I can record what I usually get for later use, right?" ”

"Yes, exactly! Most of what I have taught you is incomplete knowledge, but you can sort it out and apply it yourself in the future, this era is a troubled era, but it is also a troubled time full of opportunities, Quanzhou Mansion is the place where you will work in the future, you will have the opportunity to try these knowledge in the future! Well, I should be on my way too! After Liu Xingbao finished speaking, he got up and walked to the broken bookshelf in the corner of the room, on which there were hundreds of books, but he saw his hand wave up, and all those books disappeared.

"Sir! How do you get around? Why don't I borrow some coils from Aunt Li's house, I still have some silver taels at home, can I give them to you? Shang Yu saw that Liu Xingbao was going to leave, so he thought about the entanglement, and couldn't help but suggest.

"No need, the silver taels are of no use to me, and you and your mother still have to use that bit of silver to survive the winter, by the way, Xiao Yu, since you called me a teacher, I still have a small shirt to give you, don't lose this dress no matter what, wearing it in it is good for your body!" When Liu Xingbao said this, he took out a seemingly ordinary shirt with his hand.

"Thank you so much, sir!" Shang Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he took the shirt, because with his eyesight, although the style of the shirt was ordinary, the workmanship was natural, and there were no joints at the corners, which looked like nothing was silky and unusual.

"Xiao Yu! Hopefully we'll see each other again one day, I'll be home! Good bye! Liu Xingbao's voice sounded in front of him.

At this time, Shang Yu raised his eyes from the shirt in his hand, and the scene in front of him couldn't help but surprise him.

I saw that Liu Xingbao's figure was stepping into a one-person height, and it was still glowing in a vortex with light blue and gray light.

"Sir! What are you doing here? Shang Yu couldn't help but shout loudly, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart was full of horror.

"Xiao Yu, goodbye! Because you are a student here, I will come back when I have time! After Liu Xingbao stepped into the whirlpool, the whirlpool quickly shrank in an instant, and when Liu Xingbao finished speaking, the whirlpool had disappeared.

"Mr. actually used such a bizarre way to go home, could it be that his home is in the fairy world? Or on a different sphere? Everything today will make Shang Yu unforgettable for the rest of his life, and Liu Xingbao's final departure also shocked him greatly.

After standing for a cup of tea, Shang Yu came back to his senses, thinking about the process of Liu Xingbao teaching him bit by bit over the years, and a trace of tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Sir, where are you from? I am your student and I will miss you. Shang Yu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned to look at the blank book and close-fitting shirt in his hand, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"My husband actually taught me all the methods of accounting and accounting, and there are many ways to do business, hey! There are so many things I don't quite understand! Sir, I'm going back! Shang Yu knelt down as he spoke, and kowtowed three times in the direction where Liu Xingbao disappeared.

Standing up, he held the blank and wordless books again, put the close-fitting shirt into his arms, and then walked out.

At this time, all the villagers looked at each other strangely, and they did not know why they were standing near the merchant.

"Aunt Li, why are you here!" The old man, known as the Ninth Grandfather, asked Aunt Li.

"Ninth Grandpa, why are you here? And what are you all doing standing here? It's noon when you see the sun, and everyone doesn't eat, do you all come here to bask in the sun? Let's go, let's go home, I really don't understand, how can I run out too? It's weird! Aunt Li also said inexplicably.

At this moment, the door of the merchant was pushed open from the inside, and Shang Meishi asked everyone with a puzzled look: "I saw an extra pack of medicine at home, have you seen our family Yu'er come back?" ”

Obviously, everyone forgot about Liu Xingbao's things from yesterday to the present, and Aunt Li said: "Sister Mei, Xiao Yu got up early and went out to Quanzhou Mansion, how could she come back at noon so quickly?" ”

"Mother! I am back! Shang Yu appeared not far away with those books in his hand, and said to Shang Mei with a smile.

"Xiao Yu, you just went out in the morning, why did you come back so soon? What are you holding in your hand? Have you sold all the fruits? Also, how much did the medicine in the house cost? Shang Mei's expression of physical discomfort was still at this time, and the speed of his speech was extremely fast.

When Shang Yu heard his mother's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of what Liu Xingbao had just said, and couldn't help asking, "Mother!" You don't remember anything? ”

Shang Mei couldn't help asking, "What do I remember?" Why did you come back so early? Answer me quickly, how much did the fruit sell? And how much do your books cost? She saw the book in Shang Yu's hand and asked with some distress.

There are very few people in civilian families who can read and write, let alone own books, and each book has at least dozens of texts, which is enough for ordinary people to use for a week, and Shang Mei's family is naturally a little puzzled when he sees the several books in Shang Yu's arms.

"Mother! I came back from the car of the car dealership, and the fruits were sold for a total of one or two or seven dollars of silver, and were all taken away by the maids of a wealthy family, and these books were not books, but the account books that Mr. Lu Shi Lu in the city gave me to practice bookkeeping. Seeing that his mother really didn't remember what had happened so far yesterday, Shang Yu was shocked in his heart, but he still replied quickly.

"You kid, you're talking nonsense! Mr. Lu is your father's friend, but where did you learn how to keep accounts? Where did you get these books from? Shang Mei asked in disbelief, Shang Yu was smart since she was a child, she knew it very well, but she had never learned such a thing as accounting, and she still knew it.

"Mother! Why don't you believe me? You see, this is the letter that Mr. Lu asked me to hand over to you, he said that I can report to Quanzhou Mansion at any time, and I am ready to let me enter the Lu family as a partner a year in advance, and this is the money from selling fruits! Shang Yu casually took out the money bag and a letter in his arms and handed them to Shang Mei.

Shang Yu seemed to have just remembered something, turned around and turned to Aunt Li, who was about to leave, and said, "Aunt Li, this is the two hundred and sixty yuan that the fourth brother asked me to bring back, and the fourth brother will have a ten-year vacation in about a month, and then I can go back home to accompany you!" ”

After speaking, he took out the money bag sewn from the coarse cloth that Xiao Si handed him from his arms and handed it to Aunt Li. Yesterday, due to his mother's sudden illness, he almost forgot Xiaosi's instructions, and then he remembered.

"Oh! It's great that our little four finally have time to come back to see me! Xiao Yu! Thank you for bringing back such good news! When Aunt Li said this, she couldn't help but smile on her face, reached out to take the money bag, turned around and walked home.

"Xiao Yu, you come into the house with your mother and tell me how Mr. Lu accepted you, this is great news! If you can listen to your mother's words, enter the Lu family, be a buddy first, and then find a way to enter the Lu family's inner house. At that time, if you listen to your mother's words, your mother will ensure that you can finally become a housekeeper, which is a hundred times stronger than your father leading a caravan, and there is more oil and water! Hey! ”

As he spoke, Shang Mei grabbed Shang Yu's hand and walked into the door, taking it with him, but his eyes were still staring at the letter in his hand, looking at it non-stop.

"Mother! I don't want to be a housekeeper, I just want to be a buddy, I can learn to do business, and then I can save some money to start my own business in the future! After Shang Yu was pulled into the door by Shang Mei's family, he said these words inadvertently.

After hearing this, Shang Meishi, who had just closed the door, turned around, looked at his son and asked with some surprise, "Xiao Yu!" What's wrong with you, when you go out to sell fruit, you will lose your heart and go crazy, and you will do business by yourself in the future? Where does the capital come from? You can't make money doing business in your life, so it's more practical to work for people! He also touched his son's forehead.

"Never talk to your mother about doing business again, the children of our Zhuang family, being able to work for others is the best way out, remembering that your father used to let you study to seek fame, but now the world is so chaotic, reading is useless, you look at our Lijia Village, people are not running out, and when you enter the city, make some money, and your mother will go into the city with you." Shang Meishi continued.

Shang Yu looked at his mother and said very respectfully: "Mother! I listen to you, please go to your room and rest! I'll cook, and when we eat later, let's talk while eating, what do you think? Although he knew that Shang Mei's body had returned to normal, Shang Yu still had to persuade his mother to go into the house.

"No, it's strange to say, I feel so relaxed today, as if I'm not sick! Mother cooks, you help your mother to add fire, you and your mother have a good talk about how Mr. Lu and you discussed, and talk to your mother, do you have any news about your father? He's been gone for more than a year. "Shang Mei really forgot what happened from yesterday to noon today.

"Mother, that's the ......" Shang Yu hurriedly went to the side to take the wood and put it in the stove, and then picked up the fire folds to ignite the fine wood and put it into the stove, while telling his mother what he saw and heard in the city yesterday, but in fact, he couldn't help but be shocked by Liu Xingbao's memorable methods.

After a while, the smell of glutinous rice began to fly around the stove, and Shang Meishi was cutting pickles on the cutting board by the stove, while smiling and listening to his son tell what he had seen in the city, and when he heard that the officers and soldiers in the city killed people and the Red Turban Army rescued the county lord, he couldn't help but sigh and worry about his son.

Hearing Shang Yu talk about Mr. Lu being hired in advance because he refused to accept the leather robe, he couldn't help but say happily: "Xiao Yu, you are really blessed with this child, if your mother is you, you must accept his gift, so you will lose this opportunity." ”

Shang Yu said, "Mother! I want to wait for my dad to come back, and then I will go to work at Lu's store. After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Shang Mei's sideburns, which were only in their thirties, and they were already showing white hair.

"Why? Are you worried about your mother's body? This is a rare opportunity at the moment! Listening to what you just said, the Lu family business should be short of people at present, and now when you enter it, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to the counter man, and then you will be able to contact the people of the Lu family's inner house, and if you have the opportunity to enter the inner house, you can become a family member with status, that is what the mother wants to see the most. Shang Mei said this, his face was full of anticipation for Shang Yu's future.
