Chapter 105: People are poor and short-minded
Gan Lei was afraid that the lady would not want the jewelry given by Guo Song, so he first went to a jewelry shop and exchanged a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with rubies for seventy taels of silver, and then rushed home.
When he got home, he first held his daughter who was playing in the yard in his arms, and stuffed her with a golden flower to play, and then went into the house.
"Dead fatty, did you go drinking?" Li Wenyu grabbed his ear and asked with anger on his face.
"Lady, be lighter, my junior brother is here! I went and took a sip. ”
"I'm afraid your small sip is at least half a pot!"
Gan Lei lowered his eyebrows and said, "Lady, I admit punishment, where is the washboard?" I'm going to kneel now. ”
"Humph! Don't try to fool the old lady, if you don't explain things clearly, it's useless for you to kneel on the washboard, how can the money you sell cakes be less than thirty yuan in the morning, you explain honestly, is it for which fox spirit? ”
Gan Lei had the money in his arms, and he couldn't look down on that little money, so he honestly admitted: "Lady, how can I find a woman? Actually, I want to make a new dress for Niuniu and you, and I've saved 300 yuan in the past two months. ”
Li Wenyu sneered twice, "Hehe! You still have private money, hurry up and hand over the money, and I'll spare you this time. ”
Gan Lei had to pour out a pile of copper coins from a broken shoe, Li Wenyu took an iron box, swept the money in, and the thirty yuan became three hundred yuan, and the anger in her heart finally disappeared.
"What about your junior brother, why don't you let him come to the house to sit?"
Gan Lei carefully discerned the woman's face, is this true or false? The lady's words are true or false, and he himself is confused.
"Haven't you been mad at him for the past two months? I'm afraid that if you invite him to the house, it will not be good for you to show others. ”
"You're such an elm head!"
Li Wenyu poked her husband on the forehead, "I'm angry with him because he killed my master, but he helped us like that before, will I not remember his kindness?" These are two different things, and he is your junior brother after all, will I not give you any face? ”
Gan Lei racked his brains to excuse Guo Song, "Actually, the junior brother also injured your master by mistake, he killed Bai Yun Zhenren, hundreds of people wanted to kill him, he had no choice at all, if he didn't defend himself, he was also killed by your master, in the final analysis, Bai Yun Zhenren is the culprit, if he hadn't ruined the Qingxu Guan and destroyed the Lingshan Cave, my junior brother would not have sought revenge on him." ”
Gan Lei told me whether it was true or false, anyway, the lady only knew that the master was dead, but how she died, she didn't know, they also saw Guo Song's wanted warrant, so they asked someone to inquire, only to know that there was a melee in Zixiao Heavenly Palace, and many Taoist priests died, including the three old witches of Huangheguan.
Li Wenyu was silent for a moment and said: "In the final analysis, Master hated Qingxuguan because of me, and died because of me, the responsibility should be borne by me, and it really can't be blamed on your junior brother, from now on, I don't appreciate him, nor do I hate him, don't worry, he will be a guest at our house later, I won't put on a face, at least hospitality, I won't be rude." ”
Gan Lei was very embarrassed in his heart, he still had a bag of jewelry given by his junior brother in his arms! How do you open your mouth?
At this time, the daughter in his arms held a flower and said with a smile: "Mother, the flowers that my father gave me are really beautiful." ”
Li Wenyu's face changed, and she noticed that what her daughter was holding in her hand turned out to be a golden flower, and she hurriedly took it, the golden flower weighed at least two taels, made of pure gold, and the heart of the flower was also inlaid with a few rubies.
"This ..... This is his gift to Niu Niu? ”
A flash of inspiration flashed in Gan Lei's mind, yes! It's a gift for Niuniu, a small gift from others to Niuniu, she never refuses, she always accepts it happily, and her daughter is the best excuse!
"In fact, it's not just this golden flower, he gave Niuniu a lot of meeting gifts, and Niuniu's dowry will be available in the future."
He hurriedly spread out a heavy bag of jewelry on the table, a total of twenty-three pieces, and there were four pairs of gold bracelets inlaid with precious stones alone.
The key is that there are many precious stones, an apricot emerald pendant is the most valuable, Gan Lei saw that the jewelry shop also sells it, but it is much smaller than it, it costs 300 yuan, he estimates that this emerald pendant alone is worth at least 500 yuan.
In fact, Guo Song didn't know how much this bag of jewelry was worth, he found it from Muter's horse bag, so he decided to send it back to his brother as a gift.
Li Wenyu was stunned, and only after a while did he tremble his lips and ask, "Where did your junior brother snatch these jewelry?" ”
"So to put it this way, my junior brother never does things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, he said that he won the lottery by archery in the grassland, but I estimated that he must have experienced something big in the grassland, and he also donated three hundred taels of gold to the master's Golden Body Pavilion, and there is a three-acre mansion in Xuanyangfang."
Li Wenyu is more knowledgeable than her husband, she shook her head again and again, "San Lang, these jewelry are too valuable, such a big sapphire is worth at least a few hundred guan, and this emerald, you can't buy it without thousands of yuan, let's take a golden flower, even if it is a meeting gift from him to Niuniu, we have to return the other jewelry." ”
Gan Lei sighed and said, "Do you think I would really accept such a precious jewel?" Even if it's a brother, I can't accept it, he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are now, and now return it to him, he doesn't cherish it, sooner or later all of them will be given away, I'm thinking, let's help him save it, and when he becomes a family, he will give it to his wife, but we can accept these four pairs of gold bracelets, I mean, since it is his intention to give Niuniu, let's accept it more or less. ”
People are poor and short-sighted, although Li Wenyu has always been a little resentful of Guo Song killing her master, but she is really frustrated by life, so she nodded and agreed, "You will take a pair of bracelets and sell them later, first pay the flour money and sugar money owed to others, and the rent money is also owed for more than half a year, let's give it to the landlord together." ”
Gan Lei took out fifty taels of silver and put it on the table, "Actually, I have already sold a pair of gold bracelets." ”
..........
Guo Song left Xinfeng County, galloped all the way, and when he passed through Bashang Town, there were more than a dozen restaurants and taverns, but almost all the guests inside were soldiers stationed in Bashang.
Guo Song didn't eat breakfast, only drank a few glasses of wine at noon, and was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and the biggest problem with eating in the restaurant was that the horses had to be tied outside, and the guests often couldn't see it.
Guo Song actually wanted to buy some snacks such as steamed buns and meat patties, which he could eat while walking, but he couldn't find such a snack bar.
After passing through Bashang Town, I saw a large food shed under a big willow tree in front of me, under which there were more than a dozen large tables, and the kitchen was a thatched hut, from which two men kept bringing out roasted meatloaf and hot tea.
The tethered stake is next to the shed, and the two tethered stakes tie many mules and horses, and the most tethered stake is still empty.
Guo Song urged the horse to run to the front of the greenhouse, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "Man, bring me five meatloaf and a bowl of hot soup!" ”
A guy ran up and apologized: "Childe, the meatloaf has just come out of the oven, I have to wait for a while, or Childe will eat something else first." ”
Guo Song saw that someone was eating noodles next to him, so he said: "Give me a bowl of noodles first, ask for minced mutton, and then a bowl of haggis soup." ”
"Okay, Childe sit down for a while, I'll be here soon!"
The man ran into the house and commanded below, and Guo Song tied the horse to a stake and sat down at a square table.
At this moment, a carriage came, followed by five or six horseback attendants, and one of them entered the shed and shouted, "Man, here are twenty meatloaf!" ”
"Yo! I'm sorry for this master, the meatloaf is gone, and I have to wait for the next oven. ”
"How long will it take?"
The guy looked back and said apologetically, "I'll probably have to wait for a cup of tea!" ”
A cup of tea takes ten minutes, and it will be baked in ten minutes, which is not a long time.
The attendant came to the carriage to report, and in the carriage was the voice of an old man, and through the carriage and boat, his white hair could be faintly seen.
"From here to Chang'an, there are no food shops on the way, let's wait for a while!"
The entourage went to pay, and at this time, Guo Song's minced mutton noodles were served, and a bowl of steaming haggis soup was served, Guo Song was hungry, picked up chopsticks and ate it.
At this time, the white-haired old man in the carriage suddenly saw the Fire Dragon King tied to the horse stake, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Who is this horse?" ”
"Master, it looks like the young man who eats noodles."
The old man glanced at Guo Song, then looked at the horse, and said with praise: "This is very similar to the Dawan Heavenly Fire Horse of the Hui Khan, even in the grassland, it is one in a million, and there is such a superb horse in Datang, Ah Hu, go and ask the young man, does this horse have any meaning of transfer?" As long as he is willing to transfer, he can make an offer! ”
The entourage came to Guo Song and clasped his fists and saluted: "Childe, excuse me!" ”
Without waiting for him to speak, Guo Song shook his head, "I'm sorry, this horse is my beloved thing, and it won't be sold for any money." ”
He heard what the old man said clearly, just kidding, he actually wanted to buy his own Fire Dragon King, is this something that money can buy?
The entourage was unwilling, and said, "You can try it at a price!" This is an opportunity that is not something that ordinary people can encounter. ”
Guo Song said coldly: "This horse is not something that ordinary people can encounter, although it is not the horse of the Hui Khan, but it is almost the same." ”
"Ah Hu, forget it, since people don't sell it, don't force it."
The white-haired old man is still polite, although he likes Guo Song's horse very much, but he does not stalk and grind.
After a while, a stove of meatloaf was baked, and the attendant took twenty meatloaf, and left with the carriage, Guo Song ate two more meatloafs, drank the mutton soup, and saw that the carriage was far away, so he said to the man: "How much?" ”
"Ten pieces of meatloaf, twenty pieces of noodles, ten pieces of haggis soup, childe, a total of eighty dollars."
Guo Song searched for a long time in the money bag, and the lightest piece of broken silver weighed three coins, he handed it to the buddy, and the guy smiled: "Wait a while, I'll find money for the son." ”
The man went into the shop, and at this time, a group of men and horses, forty or fifty people, all riding war horses, was very powerful, and the leader was a young man wearing a brocade robe and a gauze hat, he wore a jade belt around his waist, and wore a sword with a very ornate scabbard, and he knew at a glance that he was a son of a wealthy family.
A group of people rushed past the food shed, but after running less than a hundred paces, the group turned around again.
The guy just finished finding money for Guo Song, so he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Are you going to eat in a small restaurant?" ”
The leader of the black-clothed man ignored the guy and pointed at the Fire Dragon King with his horsewhip, "Whose horse does this horse belong to?" ”
Guo Song stood up and said coldly: "It's my horse!" ”
Dahan threw a piece of silver to Guo Song, "My son-in-law bought this horse!" ”
