Chapter 34: Spending Extravagantly
Lu Yuan smiled and continued to watch these people fight.
Seeing that Shen Guangzu's side was about to be defeated because of the lack of numbers, Lu Yuan saw a big man with a leopard's head and eyes holding a flat pole to pick up the left and right stabs as if he had entered a no-man's land, sweeping down four or five people on Qu Laosan's side.
Seeing this, Qu Laosan scolded: "The surname is Tang, you son of a bitch, it's best not to be nosy, this surname Shen is bad for the Zhang family of Tonghefang!" When the time comes, Zhang Gongzi will blame him, don't blame Lao Tzu for suing you too. ”
"Qu Laosan, you should report this matter as soon as possible, Shen Guangzu is the brother of Linqing with me, if he has any crime, I will naturally help him bear it!"
When Tang Xin spoke, he had already put down four or five people, and his movements were very familiar.
Seeing that the enemy was invincible, Qu Laosan withdrew the people on his side and dropped a sentence: "Okay, wait until I tell Zhang Gongzi, see how you can survive in Linqing City!" ”
Qu Laosan said and left with his group of people.
And this time.
The man named Tang Xin helped up a young man who was injured on Shen Guangzu's side, walked up to Shen Guangzu, and patted Shen Guangzu on the shoulder: "What kind of fight, we are not locals in the first place, we provoked him Qu Laosan, how will you still beg for work here in the future." ”
"I can't stand his breath! Besides, I finally encountered a job, he didn't do it himself, I was not afraid of things and promised to do it, but he was not allowed, and he did it first, I came to Linqing and you called the brothers, I can't take them with me to suffer from the surname Qu's nest! ”
Shen Guangzu groaned, looked at his left arm, and said angrily.
Tang Xin took Shen Guangzu's dislocated left arm back again: "Patience in everything is over!" If I hadn't come today, you wouldn't have suffered a big loss! ”
"It's better to be killed than to be angry!"
Shen Guangzu walked towards Lu Yuan as he spoke.
Lu Yuan guessed that Shen Guangzu would come to find him, so he never left.
"This Lu Gongzi, surnamed Qu, ran away, do we still need to do this job?"
Shen Guangzu shook his left arm that had just been connected and asked.
"Of course you need it, it's still three times the salary, but how many of your brothers seem to be injured now, I estimate that it will take about nine people, can you still find them?"
Lu Yuan asked.
"Yes, Tang Xin and I brought a lot of people to Linqing at the beginning, and there are a lot of people who are slender men, so it's not a problem to find a few people to come over to help temporarily."
Shen Guangzu was overjoyed, he didn't expect this Lu Gongzi to be so generous, he even admitted the promise of being willing to give three times the salary just now, and when he heard Lu Yuan say this, he was naturally busy making a ticket.
But at this time, Tang Xin grabbed Shen Guangzu and said to Lu Yuan apologetically: "This son forgive me, I have something to say to my brother first." ”
Lu Yuan made a gesture of please.
And Tang Xin pulled Shen Guangzu aside: "Guangzu, you think clearly, I heard it clearly just now, this Lu Gongzi seems to have offended the big merchant Zhang family, and even Qu Laosan didn't take this job, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by the Zhang family if you take this job, even if you don't care, you have to consider the brothers who followed us to Qing to make a living." ”
Tang Xin said and said: "I found a job transporting stones from Yun Yuanwai, and he promised me that I could bring a few more people over, instead of following this Lu Gongzi to work and risk offending the Zhang family, it is better to follow Yun Yuanwai to earn some money." ”
"Is there a lot of salary given by this Lu Gongzi outside the Yun Yuan, but Lu Gongzi is the one who is willing to give three times the salary!"
Shen Guangzu said and said: "Besides, in the fight just now, several brothers were beaten by Qu Laosan's gang because they didn't have enough to eat, and some were even stabbed, so they had to ask for money to find a doctor." ”
Tang Xin heard Shen Guangzu say this, so he couldn't persuade him again, so he only touched his waist bag and took out a hanging copper coin: "I only have so much, you can take it first and grab some herbs for the injured brothers." ”
"No, you still have a wife and children at home, this is what you saved for more than half a year, don't send it back to pay me Liao, I have my own way."
When Shen Guangzu spoke, Lu Yuan had already taken out a five-tael silver ingot first: "Why are you stunned, please go to the doctor!" ”
Shen Guangzu came back to his senses, and while arching his hand towards Lu Yuan, he commanded a man behind him: "Shi Luoya, please go quickly!" ”
The stone bucktooth touched his head: "Brother Guangzu, I don't know where the doctor is going to invite." ”
Seeing this, Lu Yuan also knew that these people who were selling coolies at the dock were afraid that they were usually sick and didn't bother to ask a doctor, so they naturally didn't know how to invite the doctor in Linqing City, so he simply gave the silver to Uncle Fei: "Uncle Fei, you take this little brother with a stone bucktooth to invite a better doctor." ”
Uncle Fei agreed and went with the stone buckteeth.
At this time, Tang Xin walked over and arched his hand towards Lu Yuan and said, "Lu Gongzi is high-minded, Tang is grateful!" Where he needs to go down in the future, Childe speaks. ”
"Why are you talking about this, everyone is a son of the Han family, how can there be any reason not to save you when you die."
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, Tang Xin had no choice but to retreat: "Then Tang owes Gongzi a favor!" ”
Shen Guangzu also bowed his hand to Lu Yuan and said: "Childe is really chivalrous and courageous, and Shen Guangzu and the brothers remember this kindness of Childe." ”
Lu Yuan just smiled: "It's just a small favor, why worry about it, when the doctor comes and treats the injured brothers, I bother Brother Lao Shen to find a good person to follow me." ”
"But speaking of which, Lu Mou has seen the martial arts of Brother Shen and Brother Tang today, I don't know if the two brothers are willing to be my family, Lu Mou's family is now a big business and needs to raise some family members in the nursing home, and the family Ding Yueyin will try for three months for one or two or five dollars in the early stage, and two or two months of silver after the end of the three months, and include food and housing."
Lu Yuan directly stated his intention to recruit family members, but he did not plan to recruit all these people, but first recruited Shen Guangzu and Tang Xin, two people with outstanding abilities.
After all, he was just starting out and couldn't recruit a small group in the first place.
Lu Yuan saw that Shen Guangzu and Tang Xin didn't speak, so he smiled and said, "The two of you can discuss it first, and it's not too late to give me an answer when the doctor comes." ”
Ancestor Shenguang turned around and said to Tang Xin: "Brother Tang, this Lu Gongzi is really generous, three months before the probation period, one or two or five dollars, I really want to be this Ding!" ”
"You have to think clearly, this family's money is not easy to get, it is for the master's family to work hard, and what he does is to make a living by fighting and killing, which is no different from going to the border town to be a soldier!"
Tang Xin persuaded and said.
Shen Guangzu was a little unimpressed: "What's the matter, anyway, I can't make a lot of money working at this wharf, sometimes I'm hungry, and I'll be bullied by these local people, it's really aggrieved these days, it's better to be a housekeeper, even if I die, I can eat a full meal before I die, anyway, I'm a bachelor, do I have parents to support, and I think this Lu Gongzi's bearing must be a capable person, I decided to follow this Lu Gongzi!" ”
Tang Xin didn't want to persuade again, so he only said, "I'll think about it again." ”
Not long after, the doctor came over and began to look at the injuries of these injured coolies, and also prescribed some medicine, but these were all arranged by Uncle Fei.
And Lu Yuan asked Shen Guangzu and Tang Xin: "What are you thinking about?" ”
"Master Lu, I'm willing to do it with you!" Ancestor Shenguang replied.
Tang Xin sighed and said: "Lu Gongzi is kind to Tang, Tang should not have refused, but I have already promised Yun Yuan to work for a short time with him, not to mention that these injured brothers also need to be taken care of, so please forgive Lu Gongzi!" ”
"In this case, these ten taels of silver, Brother Tang, you take it first, buy some supplements or something for these injured brothers, I see that you live in simple sheds that do not block the wind, and you still sleep on straw mats, uncovered bedding, by the way, buy some more bedding, this day is getting colder and colder, don't let these injured brothers aggravate their injuries because of the cold."
Lu Yuan spent a total of fifteen taels of silver on this one, which is not a big deal, but the return is not small.
Thump!
Soon, Tang Xin knelt down towards Lu Yuan and kowtowed violently to Lu Yuan: "Thank you Gongzi Lu!" ”
After all, it's fifteen taels, and for a commoner like Tang Xin, who wanders outside all the year round and makes a living by working part-time jobs, it is a huge amount of money that has never been seen in his life.
Except for Shen Guangzu, everyone else also knelt down for Lu Yuan, and some couldn't help but sob.
And Shen Guangzu was already standing behind Lu Yuan, and he was determined to be Lu Yuan's family, and when he saw his former brothers kneeling in front of Lu Gongzi, he was even more determined to take refuge in Lu Yuan, and he secretly thought to himself: "With Lu Gongzi, I am not afraid of being retaliated by the Zhang family and Qu Laosan and they have no work to do!" ”
