Chapter 160: The True Little Black House
In the evening, when Zhang Shou got off the bus in front of the gate of Guozijian, he found that Lu Saburo was already waiting at the bottom of the archway of the university. Thinking that it was still this little fat man who was substitute for the teacher in the afternoon, he was about to ask, but Lu Sanpang pounced in a hurry.
"Little sir, 100,000 urgent, my mother just quietly asked someone to give me a letter, saying that my father gave me a picture I don't know which girl, and said that I was going to prepare Wending!" Lu Sanlang cried with a sad face, and the whole person seemed to be bad, "I didn't expect him to be so anxious, if I don't think of a way, I will fall into the fire pit!" β
Zhang Shou was suddenly surprised. Lu Sanlang and his father, Lu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, have dealt with him twice, and he only thinks that he is a high-ranking official who has a lot of city government and is also quite cunning, no matter what kind of grievances he has with Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, he found that the young son who has always been not valued has now become an arithmetic genius who has been personally rewarded by the emperor, not to mention changing his attitude immediately, at least he should be a person who will not casually pit his son.
Besides, marrying a daughter-in-law is not marrying a daughter, that is, you will enter the Lu family in the future, and live together as a family, find a troublesome daughter-in-law to enter the door, and if it becomes noisy in the future, will Lu Juan have a headache? However, what Lu Saburo shouted next, he had to listen to it.
"I don't like that kind of virtuous and virtuous woman, as far as my mother's temperament of listening to my father in everything, I can't stand it! In fact, Miss Zhu's refreshing temperament is quite good, but she is too fierce, except for you, Mr. Xiao, no one else can afford it. Besides, a virtuous and virtuous woman will be angry in a few days when she encounters a mess like me! β
You also know that you will kill the people of the people?
Seeing Zhang Shou staring at him up and down, Lu Sanlang's righteous momentum gradually decreased a little, and then he muttered in a low voice: "Although blind marriage and dumb marriage are not necessarily resentful couples, but after marriage, respect each other is like ice - that is, the ice of ice cubes - there are still quite a lot of such couples, and I am not happy to have a headache when I think of going home after getting married in the future." In short, little sir, you must help me! β
As if he was afraid that his words were not enough to impress Zhang Shou, he specially added: "For the sake of you robbing my fiancΓ©e and becoming my teacher, you have to help me too!" β
You kid have a good reason to find it...... You don't think I'm going to knock you on the ruler, do you?
Zhang Shou couldn't cry or laugh: "Yingying has already helped you match the plan, who knew that your father was so anxious!" Okay, I'll go back and ask Ah Liu to bring her a letter. By the way, I've finally made some time, what about the craftsman you said you were good at? β
"Needless to say, I have already invited all those people over, with good food and drink, and a big house for them to live in, waiting for you to meet Mr. Xiao at any time." Lu Sanlang saw that Zhang Shou agreed and immediately went to inform Zhu Ying, and the anxiety on his face immediately disappeared without a trace - needless to say, the little fat man was in a hurry for three points, and seven points was pretended.
Marriage is such a thing, it will take a few days to talk about it, his previous reputation is out, no matter who wants to marry his daughter to him, he has to inquire for a while, so as long as Miss Zhu is resolute, she should be able to catch up.
Hearing Lu Sanlang say this, Zhang Shou looked at the sky and immediately smiled: "Then let's do it, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, you can accompany me to meet these people now." β
"Now?" Lu Sanlang looked up at the sky that was about to get dark, and couldn't help but say, "What if Miss Zhu comes to you, or if the Duke of Zhao comes to deliver dinner......
Before he finished speaking, Ah Liu's flat voice came from the side: "The eldest lady went to take inventory, and no one delivered food tonight." β
Zhang Shou suddenly said: "Yes, I heard that Yingying has been checking accounts in the shop of Zhao Guogong's Mansion during the day these days, and it was an accident last night, and she may not be free to come to me today." As for delivering food, Ah Liu said no, then there must be none. In this case, go up to your territory and have a meal, you will not say that you have money and a bookstore, but you don't have the money to invite me to this meal, right? β
"How can this be?" Lu Saburo smiled on his face, but he complained again and again in his heart.
How could Zhang Shou carry out such a surprise attack? He didn't prepare for it beforehand, this is going to be a big problem!
However, Zhang Shou, who saw Lu Sanlang's resistance, how could he give the little fat man a chance to shirk or even perfunctory? Coupled with Ah Liu by his side, he easily suppressed Lu Sanlang's last bit of dying struggle and carried the person into the carriage.
Along the way, Lu Saburo smiled and found various reasons, and said that the bookstore where he hired the craftsman was located in a remote location, and it was inconvenient to find it; Again, you should first send a letter to your shopkeeper and the like, so that they can prepare something to eat; Again, his wife is still waiting for his reply, and she has to find a little girl to send home...... But no matter what the reason, Zhang Shou didn't move and blocked back.
Zhang Shou can see that there is obviously something wrong with the little fat man's claim to be a place where the food and drink are good and the house is for those craftsmen. Otherwise, how could they try to find a way to send the letter first?
Sure enough, under Lu Sanlang's dejected guidance, Zhang Shou found that the carriage was actually going all the way to the south, if he didn't know that the gate of the inner city of the capital would be closed at night, he would have thought that Lu Sanlang was going to take him to the outer city!
Eventually, the carriage stopped in an alley that was about to approach the city walls. As soon as the driver opened the door, Lu Saburo jumped down, but his eyes were dripping, and he didn't know whether he wanted to slip away or think of some crooked ideas. But before he could move, a person next to him quietly blocked his way. Seeing clearly that it was Ah Liu, he immediately wilted.
Pair up with this skilled mute boy, does he want to die?
So, in Ah Liu's eyeing escort...... Under the escort, Lu Saburo could only stubbornly go to the gate of a courtyard and slap the knocker. In just three clicks, the two black-lacquered doors opened. A middle-aged man with a roe head and a rat probed out, and when he recognized Lu Sanlang, he immediately opened the door with a smile on his face.
"Childe is here? You're here to read the manuscript for this issue, right? Don't worry, our brothers take turns watching. After I finish writing, I will eat and drink spicy food, what do I want, and if I can't write it, then I will come up with a small black house and squat in it for me......"
Lu Sanlang was so frightened that he was so frightened that when he wanted to stop this guy who couldn't read words, Ah Liu stared at him coldly, he didn't even dare to make a look, let alone say anything to stop it. It wasn't until he found out that something big was likely to happen if he didn't stop it, so he shouted in his heart: "What nonsense! β
Seeing that the middle-aged porter finally sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly shut up, Lu Sanlang just breathed a sigh of relief, and a voice came from behind him: "Why don't you allow him to continue?" I'm curious, Lu Zhu, you said that you hired a lot of scholars to write books, is that how you write it? β
Lu Sanlang turned around and saw that Zhang Shou's expression on his face was as gentle as ever, but he didn't dare to take it lightly at all. Because he knew very well that since he expressed his deep antipathy to his scientific name, Zhang Shou would never call him by his name unless it was on certain occasions. Now that he has called it directly, it can be seen that Zhang Shou is already angry about what the fool said just now!
"Little sir, listen to my explanation, I am eating and lodging, and I give money according to the word, I really don't give them a penny! But some people are really lazy, they don't want to write a word when they have money, they indulge in wine and profligacy, they don't know moderation at all, and when they really don't have money, they plan to make a comeback, but at that time it's too late to continue the previous article. β
He observed Zhang Shou's face while speaking, and saw that no one said anything, so he could only stubbornly continue: "So before there were several books that were very popular among the exam-taking scholars and daughters of the boudoir were abandoned halfway, I learned from the pain, and decided to provide food and lodging, recruit people to my land, and then eat and drink every day, provided that they can devote themselves to writing books......"
Although Lu Sanlang's explanation was fantastic, Zhang Shou would not be fooled at all.
Isn't it the real Black House? When Lu Saburo made that decision, he was definitely possessed by the resentment of countless netizens in later generations, right? Of course, it is to blame, probably because Emperor Taizu pioneered the method of irregular serialization, of course, Journey to the West was born in troubled times, and the common people at that time probably didn't care about reading books......
Zhang Shou ignored Lu Sanlang and went straight inside, and the middle-aged porter who had just discovered that he had done something wrong wanted to stop him, but he was glared at by Ah Liu, who followed Zhang Shou closely, and immediately took three steps back, watching the master and servant cross him into the courtyard. That's not all, when Lu Saburo hurriedly chased him in, he scolded him angrily.
"Idiot!"
After scolding, Lu Sanlang chased after Zhang Shou again: "Little sir, listen to my explanation!" Whatever those scholars like, I will prepare for them. Wine, delicacies, costumes, and utensils...... As long as they do their best to write, they can do anything...... Really, they all have houses and lands in their names now......"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but secretly hehe. But at this moment, a door was suddenly kicked open, followed by a majestic man: "I'm quitting!" Lao Tzu still has a mountain of carpentry work to do at home, and he doesn't have time to wait here, and he won't do it no matter how much money he gives! Lao Tzu is not one of those scholars who have no power to tie the chicken, if you don't let people go, Lao Tzu will fight all the way out! β
After saying this, the strong man saw the three young men coming towards him. At a glance, he recognized the handsome and elegant little Langjun in the center, and immediately rushed towards Zhang Shou quickly, stretched out his big hand to arrest someone, and shouted: "Can Shangshu Gongzi detain people casually?" I have some fine wood in the house, or the elders ordered it......"
However, his outstretched hand was finally grabbed by others, and he didn't even feel it, and the whole person suddenly rose into the air. It wasn't until he heard a sound of Ah Liu in his ears that he realized that he had fallen suddenly, and then sat down lightly on the ground. As soon as his horror arose, he saw the handsome little Langjun squatting in front of him just now.
"Uncle, are you a carpenter?"
