Zhang Shou heard Lu Sanlang's thick resentment, and he who originally had a belly of fire in his heart, couldn't help but be amused by the little fat man's words, and immediately asked: "It's rare for you kid to make up your own mind, but it's actually to let me break with Xu Heizi?" You hate that black-faced prisoner so much? ”

Lu Sanlang suddenly said confidently: "People like Xu Heizi and I are born to rush!" He put on a provocative expression that I just stare at you every day, you kid don't let me grab the handle, which makes people uncomfortable! I hate this guy who doesn't talk about human feelings and only talks about rules, and he hates it even more than my dad's character of using it when it's useful and throwing it away if it's useless! ”

"This time, the two fools in Jiuzhangtang were scolded by me, I said to them, I am the head of Jiuzhangtang, helping them is not for nothing, they can help me do things in the future to compensate, why go to the rope hall to beg Xu Heizi? I'm in charge of Mr. Xiao's absence! Originally, I wanted them to return the house, but then I thought about it, this time I let Xu Heizi go and show the enemy to be weak. ”

Lu Sanlang even said the words of showing weakness to the enemy, and Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. However, he was more curious about another thing: "What about you?" Your father should also look at your son differently now, and you are willing to move back to me in this house? ”

"Why am I moving back? Hey, little sir, do you still remember, next door to Xiao Cheng, the old mansion of Boss Zhu's teacher Liu Zhiyuan and Boss Liu, I bought it, and you also placed Zhao Siluo and Xiao Guan Qiu before, but now the entire workshop has moved to Zhang Yuan, and the house has all been vacated? ”

However, when he saw Zhang Shou suddenly nodded in realization, as if thinking that he would move over, Lu Sanlang smiled and said: "Actually, I lost the bet with Xiao Cheng's little guy, so I rented the house next door to the old mansion and Xiao Cheng's house." ”

Lu Sanlang said, stretched out two fingers and shook them, and said with pain on his face: "It costs two times a month!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that the little fat man was a good actor who debuted earlier and was more professional than Zhang Chen, Zhang Shou would have wanted to hehe Lu Saburo. Don't talk about two pieces of money, even if it's twenty times and two hundred, for the little fat man, it's a small number that is not worth mentioning, and Lu Saburo still has to say it in a matter!

However, Lu Sanpang said that Xiao Cheng was next door, but in fact, the old house of the Liu family, which had already changed his surname to Lu, said that he had rented Xiao Cheng's own house, but this was a bit wrong, completely wrong. Thinking about the temperament of this unprofitable little fat man, he had already concluded that there must be something strange in it.

So, Zhang Shou glanced at Lu Sanlang with a smile, suddenly put away the key that the person had given him just now, turned around and left. Sure enough, before he had taken a few steps, he heard heavy footsteps behind him, but it was Lu Saburo who hurriedly caught up, and the person was busy explaining: "Little sir, little sir, don't go!" I'm either selling off, or I'm ......"

"It's just that you're used to being a fool, right?" Zhang Shou didn't look back, but he smiled and said, "Your stomach is bent and eighteen, think I don't know?" Xiao Cheng's kid is helpless, the only one who is a brother is Yingying's eldest brother, but now he is still in Cangzhou, even in the capital, his character can't get along with you, you definitely won't please Brother Zhu, because it's useless to please. ”

Lu Sanlang suddenly scratched his head in disdain, coughed and said: "Mr. Xiao's eyes are like torches, I was cheated by Zhu Er, plus my father has a bad heart, I can't wait to be as far away from Boss Zhu as I can, how can I please him?" ”

He was afraid of being beaten by Boss Zhu, so there was nowhere to reason!

Seeing that Zhang Shou was smiling silently, Lu Sanlang glanced around, and made sure that the class was not out at this time, and there was no one else around, so he caught up with the first two steps and whispered: "Didn't my father resign from the Ministry of War?" That Zhao Shilang also went to Yungui, and now the one who is temporarily acting as the secretary of the military department is the right squire surnamed Yan, but this guy has very shallow qualifications, and he will definitely not be able to turn positive. ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Lu Sanlang to think of the hot vacancy of the Ministry of War, he groaned slightly for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, and he immediately stared at Lu Sanlang, and said word by word: "Do you think that Yingying's eldest brother's teacher, Liu Zhiyuan Liu, who used to be a waiter in the Ministry of War, was later idle at home, and left Beijing because of the death of his old wife, maybe there is hope?" ”

"Hehe, little sir, you guessed right!"

Lu Sanlang smiled so much that his eyebrows narrowed, and then he said with his eyebrows fluttering: "My wife and husband are mourning, although this is the case, there are very few people who still do this now." I think that after the death of the former Mrs. Zhao Guo, Zhao Guogong has not been close to women for more than two years, and this is still said by many people to be hypocritical. I sent someone to inquire, and the old man Liu returned to his hometown and stayed for his wife for a year. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel a little emotional-although Taizu couldn't help women remarry, and even encouraged widows to remarry, the rate of widows remarrying was far lower than that of widowers. As for the fact that some men continue to pay less than a few months after losing their wives, that is even more common.

As a result, those who are able to hold a funeral for their wives will always be praised in the name of affection and meaning. As for why Zhu Jing was scolded for being hypocritical, it is estimated that it is because Zhu Jing has been a widower for too long...... Because of the death of the wife and husband, it is not said that you can't get close to the beautiful concubine and maid......

His reverie flew 90,000 miles, but he quickly took it back, and immediately hooked his hand to signal Lu Saburo to step forward and walk side by side with him, and then asked angrily: "Don't talk about these hearsay details, talk about the point!" ”

Lu Sanlang was just habitually going around and around, and as soon as Zhang Shou said it at this time, he hurriedly snorted and said: "I originally wanted to inquire about Mr. Liu's situation, and I turned around and told Mr. Xiao, you are good to sell to Zhu Da." This old Liu lived in the tomb and guarded the tomb, and a few children from the surrounding civilian families ran to play, and he actually read Tang poems to people for enlightenment, and three of them were smart enough to read every day......"

Listen, where do you look for this kind of inquiring student? Lu Sanlang, the little fat man, can have today, it is really not strange!

Zhang Shou glanced at this pervasive kid, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are planning ahead." What about when you hear all this inconsequential news? ”

"Later, I asked people to pretend to be Boss Zhu's personal entourage to persuade this Boss Liu to return to Beijing."

Lu Saburo blinked his eyes with a serious face: "But it's really not easy." Old man Liu is a stubborn character, he said that he hated the officialdom and refused to come back, and said that he would be satisfied with a responsible and courageous student like Boss Zhu, and he planned to teach a few Mengtong at home for the rest of his life, and he was too lazy to care about the world. And then ...... Hey! ”

Lu Sanlang saw that Zhang Shou was laughing strangely by himself, so he laughed even more shyly.

"I told him about the little gentleman you suggested that my father come forward to ask for the establishment of a public school. As a result, the old man Liu, who was originally not able to eat oil and salt, was immediately excited! He said that what he hated the most in his life was that some people misinterpreted the original intention of the Master, saying that the people could make it happen, but they could not know it! ”

What he hopes most is that the people of the world will have enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace. Being able to read and write will not be able to control the channels for mediocre officials to interpret the decrees of the imperial court. What he hopes most is that not only the poor can study, but also the poor can study, and the peasant family can even study. In this way, the upward channel is always unobstructed, and the world will not be stagnant! ”

"So, in June, people have already set off for Beijing! In the house next door to Xiao Cheng, I am working on a large construction project to restore the original state, otherwise let Old Man Liu come back and find out that this is also a blacksmith shop carpenter's business, and he will not be half angry? I made a bet with Xiao Cheng for this, I said that he would definitely not remember what the Liu family had been like when he was young, but he said it right. ”

"The bet is that I'm going to win, and he'll give me a year as a servant, and I let him go east, and he can't go west."

"If he wins, then I'll move into his house and give him two times a month to rent a house. And I covered all his food, clothing, shelter and transportation. As a result, I lost, of course, I was willing to gamble and lose, according to him, hurry up and renovate the house and wait for the original owner to come back to live! ”

"Anyway, the personal entourage I sent earned enough favor for our teachers and students in front of Mr. Liu, and he still boasted in the tone of Boss Zhu, I heard that people have been praising me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shou finally couldn't help but give Lu Saburo a thumbs up. Not to mention that this kid knows the subtleties, or that the autumn wind has not yet reached the sensitivity of the cicada prophet, just with this seemingly big grin, but in fact meticulous thoughts, ordinary people are indeed beyond the reach of the dust.

Lu Juan really judged people by his appearance at the beginning, and lost his son Yu! Now you think your son is raised for nothing, right? It's too late to regret it!

He smiled approvingly, "You're killing two birds with one stone." Xiao Cheng is young, but his mind is sensitive and delicate, Yingying's eldest brother and I were not there before, thanks to you taking care of you like this. ”

Lu Sanlang suddenly smiled happily. Although some people are talking to him now, he still wants to hear Zhang Shou's praise the most, because it is much more real than those sycophants. At that moment, he said happily: "That kid is stubborn, and he scratches people at every turn like a cat from time to time, so I have to brush my hair." ”

It is not easy to live in the capital, not to mention firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, everything is expensive, and the most expensive one is the rent - a fight with the high housing prices and rents in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in later generations. Therefore, don't look at any high-ranking officials, your private life may be to rent a small yard and live together with a family of more than a dozen people.

And more Beijing officials have to endure the loneliness of the long night and be an official in the capital alone, otherwise how can they support their families?

Therefore, a small house in the capital is really the capital of a family's livelihood. For example, in Xiao Cheng's family, even if he is the only child left, he can actually make a living by renting a house - of course, if he encounters vicious tenants, anti-tenants, or even murders the landlord, it is not certain.

And since Xiao Cheng met Zhang Shou and others, and entered the Guozijian to do chores, the little guy's self-reliance has become stronger and stronger, and although he reunited with Zhu Tingfang, he was unwilling to accept Zhu Tingfang's funding for his food and clothing, and he worked hard to be self-reliant.

Even if Zhu Tingfang said it several times, it was difficult to persuade him. In the past, when the blacksmith shop and carpenter shop next door were still around, at least someone could let him have a partner and collect some money symbolically, but now Zhao Siluo Xiaoxiao and Guan Qiu and others have moved to Zhang Yuan with apprentices, and the old mansion next door to the Xiao family has been emptied. When Lu Sanlang came to guide the renovation of the old house, he found the "miserable situation" of the Xiao family.

That's not just the house in dust! From inside the house to outside the house, there was a mess everywhere, the kitchen stove was covered with a layer of dust, and I don't know how this kid lived at home except for eating and reading in the country. So, as soon as Lu Sanlang's eyes rolled, he made that bet with Xiao Cheng to kill two birds with one stone.

After saying the reason for this matter, Lu Sanlang said with a smile: "I told Xu Heizi that in the future, this house will be used by my teachers and students, if he dares to make up his mind again, even if I go to sue the emperor, I will not rest with him!" ”

"You, Xu Heizi is unlucky for you to provoke you!" Zhang Shou didn't bother to pay attention to the dispute between Lu Sanlang and Xu Heiyu anymore, and laughed at the moment. However, when he came to Lu Sanlang's house, he suddenly only heard the little fat man shouting.

"Ouch, that's bad! Mr. Xiao usually sends lunch to Ah Liu, if he still sends it there according to the habit he used to have, wouldn't it be cheaper for others? No, no, no, we have to go and see ......."

Before Lu Sanlang finished speaking, he only heard a faint voice above his head: "Do you think I am wood?" ”

The little fat man hurriedly looked up, and when he saw Ah Liu quietly slipping off the roof, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then hurried to look at the door that he had locked when he left, only to see that the padlock was long gone. Almost immediately, he turned his head to look at Ah Liu, and found that there was a lock in his hand, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Didn't Ah Liu just go into his house?

This time, even Zhang Shou couldn't help but reproach: "Ah Liu, how can you break into Lu Sanlang's house?" ”

"I didn't break in, I just came here with someone, and when I saw someone use copper wire to open the padlock and sneak in, I followed up to see what he was looking for." Speaking of this, seeing that Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang's faces changed slightly at the same time, he pointed to the number house that covered the door and said, "The person is still tied up inside, do you want to try it for the first trial?" ”

Lu Sanlang was already so angry that his face was almost blue: "My house is not a confidential place, how could someone steal from me?" ”

"Ah Liu, you didn't ask him why he came here? Is there anyone who directs it? Zhang Shou asked Ah Liu directly, and when he saw the person, he shook his head, so he simply pushed the door open and went in, but he didn't see anyone at first sight. If it were someone else, he might have thought that someone had run away, but with his consistent understanding of Ah Liu, he raised his head thoughtfully. It's okay not to look at it, but after seeing it, he almost laughed out loud when he was suspicious.

I saw that the man was tied with his limbs and hung up, just like a big fat pig that had been tied with four hooves and pierced with a pole; If it weren't for the fact that his mouth was gagged by a mass of rags, and that he was completely unable to struggle, he believed that he would have heard a miserable wail.

Even Lu Sanlang, who was originally angry, looked up along Zhang Shou's line of sight, and found that after he laughed, he couldn't help but shudder. Regardless of whether it is stealing or something else, if he hits the hands of Ah Liu, this guy is unlucky!
