Chapter Eighty-Eight: Entering the Village II
Although Zhang Lang was extremely reluctant, he couldn't help what Zhang Lian said, so he dragged on all night, and came to look for the prince early the next morning, but he was too full of words yesterday and took the other party's money, so he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Seeing Zhang Lang's hand in the bag to 'touch' the twenty taels of silver, but I don't know if he was reluctant or how his hand stretched out and hesitated, the east 'door' Qing didn't wait for him to speak, let Chen Baifu take a small package over, put it in front of Zhang Lang, Zhang Lang asked: "What is it?" "East Gate" Qing said lightly: "Ears." ”
"Ears?" Zhang Lang was a little strange, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but scream, it turned out that there were ten bloody human ears in the package! "This ...... This ......" Zhang Lang said in shock: "Prince Wang, you are ......"
"This is the guy who came to beat us up last night." The east 'gate' celebrated: "There were two groups of people in total, six people, and one ran." Alas, we were all very careful when we went out this time, but we didn't expect to 'expose' our wealth here. Uncle Lang, if you let me go to the 'Chao' Mansion now, I don't dare to go, whether I can buy the goods or not, I am all counting on you, Uncle Lang. ”
Zhang Lang looked at the ten ears in the blood package, where could the twenty taels of silver be 'touched'? I couldn't help but regret a little in my heart, and thought: "I originally watched him Sven, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless!" It's even more ruthless than a robber! "But think about it, in this year, where is there an honest person who has made a big business?" I touched my ears and was scared: "If I say that things can't be done, they don't know if they will suspect me...... " After hesitating for a long time, he finally muttered: "Wang Gongzi, the matter is ...... I'm afraid there are some blockages......"
Dong 'Gate' Qing showed a little surprise on his face and said, "Block? Uncle Lang, I have already told Uncle Lang the details yesterday, and even Uncle Lang knows how many of our porters and guards are. Don't say that everything you said yesterday was to fool me! When he said this, the water snake Cai and the others were obviously nervous and ready to move.
Zhang Lang hurriedly said: "No, no!" ”
"It won't be." The east 'gate' Qingdao: "This apricot 'flower' is not a place to live for a long time, if you can, I hope that Uncle Lang can arrange a proper place for us to live as soon as possible." lest we be so anxious that we may not sleep well. ”
Zhang Lang*** However, he had no choice but to say: "Originally, I had already arranged accommodation for Wang Gongzi in the wai, but ...... My brother didn't agree with that. ”
Dongmen' Qingqi said: "Brother Ling doesn't listen to you? ”
Zhang Lang was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not very obedient." ”
"Then it's time to discipline!" Dong'men' Qingdao: "Uncle Lang, this matter is a good thing for us, this matter is for you, there is no such shop after this village, and it is even more imperative for us!" We do business, pay attention to credibility, is the mouth! I said it well yesterday, how can I give up halfway because my brother doesn't agree? ”
Zhou Dafu also said next to him: "That's it!" The eldest brother is like a father, and when will it be the younger brother's turn to oppose what the elder brother decides? ”
Chen Baifu said: "But ...... Uncle Lang, shouldn't your family be the master of the younger brother as the elder brother? ”
Zhang Lang said angrily when he heard this: "What younger brother is the master of the elder brother!" Although my younger brother is a pawn, I am naturally the master of the family! "The 'chest' patted and said, "Go!" Let's go into Wushiwei! ”
Chen Baifu was surprised: "Now? ”
"That's right! Pack up, come with me! ”
What do they have to clean up when they celebrate the East Gate? A few burdens were lifted and left, and after a long time they arrived at the entrance of the village, there were fathers and elders who saw them, Zhang Lang said that he was a friend, and placed the east 'gate' celebration in Zhang Houming's house, Zhang Houming saw that he actually brought people back despite Zhang Lian's prohibition, and hurriedly pulled him aside to discuss, and said: "You will cut it first and then play, and bring people in, how to tell him when your second child comes back?" ”
Zhang Lang sneered: "I'm my brother, I entertain a few friends to stay for a few days, and I want him to agree?" ”
Zhang Houming was also thinking about the big deal, thinking that since you are willing to rush in front, I am happy to watch the excitement in the back and pick up the bargain, so he asked: "Is the business still done?" ”
"Do!" Zhang Lang said: "Just do what we originally discussed!" I'll talk about the second one! I'd like to see if he recognizes me as his brother! ”
Although Qing was inside the East 'Gate' couldn't hear what they were saying, he expected a little bit when he saw their faces coming in and out, and he didn't pay attention to it, Zhou Dafu found a gap and whispered: "Looking at their expressions, I'm afraid that there are some contradictions inside." Zhang Lian hasn't come out yet, and I don't know if it can be done. ”
"Don't be afraid." Dongmen' Qing smiled: "If we have been outside, forget it, since we have come in, they are embarrassed to drive us away?" ”
Zhou Dafu said: "Then we ......"
The East Gate Qingdao: "You don't have to do anything. What's the hurry! So I talked to Zhang Houming's wife and children about some homely things, and when the meal was ordered, I followed the meal, and after eating, I found a rattan chair to take a nap, which was really like going to a friend's house.
After the afternoon, Zhang Lian took Zhang Bao back from outside, he was in a bad mood when he returned to the village, and then heard that his brother brought someone into the village, his heart was on fire, and he pointed at Zhang Lang in front of him and shouted: "Recently, things that have not gone well have come one after another, not to mention the things at sea, your brother and sister went to their parents' house, and no one can be found until now!" You don't help me share the burden, but you go to provoke these people of unknown origin! What did I tell you yesterday? Are you all the wind in your ears? ”
When he said this, Zhang Houming and Zhang Bao were beside him, Zhang Lang couldn't hold his face, and he also jumped up and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes!" I shouldn't have taken your words as wind in my ears, I should have taken your words as holy decrees! I know you've never looked down on me! But how can I say that he is also the eldest son and grandson of the Zhang family's third room! Although I don't have the interest of you, I can't do it, but I can invite a few friends to stay at home for a few days! ”
Zhang Lian was so angry when he heard this, several things in his heart were cemented at the same time, and none of them could be solved, and he was blocked in his throat by his brother and couldn't get out, so he copied a stick and went to Zhang Houming's house!
Zhang Lang was a little scared when he saw him copying the guy, and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhang Lian said angrily: "I'll go drive people away!" ”
Zhang Lang said angrily: "You rush!" You rush! If you rush out, you won't recognize me as a brother! ”
Zhang Lian glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you want me to kick you out?" Zhang Lang said that Zhang Lang was 'furious' in his heart, Zhang Lian ignored him anymore, and came to the group of merchants with the stick, and when he arrived at Zhang Houming's house, Zhang Houming's son said that the guest borrowed a rattan chair and took a nap in the 'flower' field. Zhang Lian didn't expect that the merchant was not there, and his anger was already vented.
Wushiwei is a typical 'tide' system of tulou structure, the center of the tulou has a good big 'flower' field (that is, the square), and there are two wells in the northwest and southwest, and the northeast and southeast two walls divide the square into several parts, so that the 'flower' field is large but not monotonous, Zhang Lian found the 'flower' field and asked, several old women pointed to the southeast wall in unison and said: "That prince is sleeping over there!" "It turned out that the east 'gate' was sweet, but all the villagers who met while walking greeted them, and several peasant 'women' were so happy that their hearts bloomed after being praised by this son's brother, and they all treated him as a good guest.
The scorching sun is slanting west in the afternoon, and a 'yin' shadow is formed under the southeast wall in the afternoon, the place is ventilated, and there is a 'flower' shed, which is the most 'shaded' and cool place in the afternoon in the whole Wushiwei, Zhang Lian ran here, and saw a rattan chair under the 'flower' shed, and a person sleeping on the rattan chair couldn't help but be angry and helpless: "This guy is good at finding a place!" "I rushed to the edge of the 'flower' shed, but I saw the east 'gate' Qingheng lying on the rattan chair, with his eyebrows down, sleeping soundly. Seeing him like this, Zhang Lian said in his heart: "It looks like a Sven person, not a philistine." It's just that he has been in the house for less than half a day, and he can sleep because of it! He knocked on his rattan chair with a stick and said, "This guest, please get up and speak!" His tone was quite calm.
Dongmen' Qing turned over, waved his hand, and said half-asleep: "If there is anything in advance, I will deal with it at night." ”
Zhang Lian was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to wake him up, but he felt that it was too rude, and said in his heart: "This person has a good demeanor, completely different from what I expected before, it seems that he is a Confucian businessman, and his heart is 'open-minded', otherwise how can he sleep so steadily?" The boss can actually meet such a person. Then he turned back and went back.
When I came out of the 'flower' shed, I saw Zhang Lang coming in a hurry, and said again and again: "Second brother, I said the wrong thing just now, you ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lian had already interrupted him and said, "The one who fell asleep in the 'flower' shed is the prince Wang?" Zhang Lang glanced around and responded, "Yes." Zhang Lian said: "If this person is a person, just stay with him for a night, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlord." ”
Zhang Lang was overjoyed, took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "The business is ......?"
Zhang Lian snorted: "No! ”
Zhang Lian fell from surprise to disappointment, and was about to persuade again, but heard Zhang Bao say: "The patriarch is here!" Then he saw a pot-bellied old man approaching, it was Zhang Houde, the patriarch of Cangqian Village, who greeted Zhang Lian and said, "I heard that there is a group of strangers in the enclosure?" ”
Zhang Lian glanced at his brother and said, "Not bad! It's a guest I invited. ”
Zhang Houde said again: "Recently, thieves have made a lot of trouble, there is a small-tailed old Xu Dong on the sea, and Zheng Baxiao is late in the mountains, I heard that they have been stupid recently!" Our village is no better than other villages, responsible for most of the Shixia Cang, and you are saving the book, so you can't make any mistakes. So if there's nothing going on, don't 'mess around' the village. ”
Zhang Lian said angrily: "The patriarch just takes care of his son, don't run to the county all day long to make people stinky feet!" As for the 'gate' household in Wushiwei, with me watching, the thieves can't get in! ”
Zhang Houde's eyes widened, the 'fat' and 'meat' in his eyes trembled, and finally he didn't say anything, sneered a few times and brushed away.
