Chapter 13 Pan Er is coming
Han Xiufeng and Zhuzi walked a day on the mountain road back to the city, and as soon as they returned to the city, they nervously prepared to go to the capital to make offerings. After so many years of leisure in the Yamen Gang, there are many things to be busy with both private and official matters. I was busy for six days, and I was so busy that it was dark. The pillar was not idle, he helped run errands outside every day, and even helped run a trip to the countryside the day before yesterday.
Thinking that it was very hard for the pillar to run outside in the wind and rain, Han Xiufeng was busy with the matter at hand, and deliberately went to the street to cut a pound of pork and let the pillar mother burn it, and he himself dragged out a large wooden box from under the bed, opened it and took out a bunch of account books, sat at the window and crackled and crackled.
Time flies when I get busy, and before I know it, it's dark again.
Han Xiufeng stood up and stretched, and was about to go downstairs to ask if the pillar had come back, but it turned out that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, only to hear the pillar shouting below: "Fourth brother, it's time for supper!" (Local dialect, meaning to eat dinner)
"Here, when are you coming back?"
"Just returned." Zhuzi smelled the fragrance of stewed meat, swallowed his saliva, and complained with his hand on the wooden ladder: "Fourth brother, you are going to the capital to make offerings, there are many places to spend money, and now you can save a penny, why do you buy meat again." ”
"I'm hungry, and besides, it's hard for you to run outside every day."
"It's not easy for me to eat meat, no one will die in the city, as long as someone dies, I will have meat to eat, eat this and eat that, as long as I want to eat every day."
The pillar's remarks are not bragging, and doing it is just a little good. As long as someone dies, they have to help them to rein in, and they have to handle the funeral. Rich people have rich methods, and poor families are poor people, but no matter how they do it, a meal of wine and meat is indispensable. If it weren't for the meat to eat at both ends in three days, he wouldn't be so fat.
Han Xiufeng smiled, walked downstairs and patted him on the shoulder and said, "That being said, you also have to have the kung fu to help others do white things." You've been out there these days to help me run, and you've delayed all your business. ”
"Say this again, when you leave, I can't run an errand for you."
"Four babies, why are you always so polite, and you are not an outsider." Zhuzi Niang walked in with dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "You and Zhuzi grew up together, similar to your own brothers, who will go if you don't let him run errands?" ”
"yes, it should be." The pillar pulled out the stool and beckoned Han Xiufeng to sit.
Zhu Ziniang was grateful to Han Xiufeng for taking the initiative to give her sister to Zhuzi, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and said while helping them serve dinner: "Four babies, there is nothing to do tomorrow, I plan to go on a trip to see your aunt and sister." Your uncle's life is thin, and if he says he is not there, he will not be there, you see that he is going to the capital again, her mother and son have no one to rely on, I don't know how to live this day, I don't worry if I don't go to see me. ”
"It's fine to help me take a look, but why are you going so far?"
"Four babies, where did you say you went, what do you mean to help you go and see?" Zhu Ziniang put down the prepared meal, patted Zhu Zi's shoulder, and smiled knowingly: "What I want to see is not only your aunt and your cousin, but also my own mother and daughter-in-law." ”
"That's true, but I'm not at ease when it's so far away."
"What's not to worry about, I'm not going alone." Zhu Ziniang beckoned them to eat, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liu's mother's family at the entrance of the street is also in Magang, she told me that she wanted to go back to her mother's house to see, but she didn't dare to do it alone." I told her that we would go with us tomorrow, just in time for a companion. ”
"Okay, then be careful on the road."
As soon as Han Xiufeng's words fell, Zhu Zi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly finished eating the meat in his mouth and said, "Mother, if you go tomorrow, maybe you can meet the second child of the Pan family on the road." But even if you meet, it's useless, you haven't seen him, he hasn't seen you, and even if you do, you don't recognize him. ”
"Zhuzi, you mean Pan Changsheng is coming?" Han Xiufeng was surprised.
"Well, isn't there dozens of households in Cili who haven't handed over the silver, the eldest lord asked Yang San to pass on those Jiatou and those insiders in Cili yesterday to ask questions. He met Yang San, who went to the heir, and asked Yang San to give you a message, saying that he would come to the city tomorrow, and said that he didn't know about other places, only Baishiyi, and he would arrive in the evening, so let's wait for him in Baishiyi in the evening. ”
"I didn't give him a letter, he gave me a letter first!"
"I'm also strange, I think he's more anxious than you."
"In addition to coming tomorrow, what did he ask Yang San to say?"
"Oh, yes." The pillar smiled embarrassedly and added, "It seems that everything is ready, and I won't go back tomorrow." I think he was afraid that you wouldn't give him a letter, so he left first without a sound and didn't take him to the capital. ”
Han Xiufeng frowned and said, "It's okay for him to come early, but where is he staying?" ”
Zhu Zi said without thinking: "His family has money, let him go to the guest house." ”
"Do you think he'll pay to go to the inn when he's in town?"
"That's right, his family is rich, but his family is also stingy, he is not a generous person, and he will probably rely on you."
Zhu Ziniang, who had never been on the table and was used to sitting in the corner to eat, looked up coldly and said: "Fourth baby, no matter what you say, he is also your fellow countryman, you still have to go to the capital together." If you don't have a place to live, you live here, and it's not like there is no bed at home. ”
The pillar couldn't help but laugh and laughed out loud.
Zhuzi Niang was confused, and asked puzzledly: "Zhuzi, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Mother, we want him to live here, but he may not be happy to shout!"
"Why don't you ...... happy" Zhu Ziniang suddenly reacted when she said it, thinking of the yellow paper piled up for the dead at home and a few paper people who had just been tied in the afternoon, thinking that the coffin shop next door was a place, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a place where bad luck can no longer be obscure, lowered her head and muttered: "If you are not happy to come, forget it, when I didn't say it." ”
Zhu Zi smiled: "Regardless of him, he will live wherever he wants." ”
Tomorrow's matter will be talked about tomorrow, Han Xiufeng didn't want to worry about this matter, ate a few bites of food, looked up and asked, "Zhuzi, have the Jiatou and the insiders from Cili gone back?" ”
"Fourth brother, are you planning to let my mother go with them?"
"What's wrong with walking together, there can be a response on the road when there are more people."
Zhuzi looked up at him and said with a wry smile: "Fourth brother, you don't want to think about what the eldest master is doing when he passes them on, dozens of households have not paid all the land and silver, can they have good fruits to eat?" ”
"Blamed?"
"Well, one counts as one, and all of them are boarded! They were reluctant to make money, Wang Er's turtle son didn't take advantage of it, and he was ruthless, and he heard Yang San say that all the butts were opened and spent. ”
