Chapter 33 [I'm pretending to be confused!] 】
The old man grabbed Lao Cheng and scolded angrily: "Since you call me a third brother, then you will sit down obediently for me, the matter has passed, do you dare to beat the child again?" ”
Lao Cheng pretended not to listen, broke free with all his might, and shouted: "Third Brother Cui, don't worry, if you have to give you justice today, that little beast dares to beat your uncle, Lao Tzu will beat him to death......"
"Try it!"
The old man of the shopkeeper shouted again, and said with anger on his face: "Although I, Cui Zhao, am a side of the Qinghe, but I am also a person who says the same, if you dare to beat the child, I will dare to sue you, there is a Dengwen drum erected at the entrance of the palace, and the old man should not knock on the face, don't look at you as the founding father, but my Cui family really doesn't pay attention to it, you dare to beat the child, try it." ”
Lao Cheng pretended to be helpless, sighed and arched his hand, and said in a low voice: "The third brother is generous, and Cheng Zhijie is inexplicably grateful." ”
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, their son is in trouble, and the parents have to support it, even if Lao Cheng is a national prince, he has to pay three or four compensations.
Mrs. Cheng next to her spoke softly and said: "Third brother, in fact, today we have already scolded Chu Mo, just hang it up at the door of our house and smoke it fiercely, in front of everyone's eyes, I smoked ten teas, and my little sister also took matters into her own hands this time, and I beat Xiao Cheng'er for more than a dozen sticks......"
The old man in charge sighed, a little annoyed: "I heard this matter from the people in the house, I was anxious and uneasy, I wanted to rush out to stop it, but the people didn't let me, you two, what is this called." If the child makes a mistake, just scare it, and don't it hurt to beat him so desperately? ”
Mrs. Cheng glanced at Lao Cheng and said with a smile: "Our husband and wife act like this, and it is not rude to leave it anywhere." Parents beat their children, it is natural and righteous, this is not only to educate the heirs, but also to give you an explanation, we deliberately beat the eldest son in front of the people of Chang'an, which can be regarded as giving Qinghe Cui a face. ”
The old man in charge bowed his head silently and said softly: "What this is saying is that it doesn't matter if you have an old face, you can't lose the face of the clan, but you ......"
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at Lao Cheng and his wife angrily, and said hatefully: "But you beat too hard, how can you kill like that, Xiao Cheng'er is still young, who is distressed if you break it?" If the old patriarch knows about this, I think you and your husband will have to be disciplined. In the future, I will remember that the child is still young and cannot just rely on beating and scolding. ”
Lao Cheng snorted and said: "He is not small, he will be crowned in two years, and it is said that the tree is big and straight, I don't think he is straight." ”
The old man in charge slapped the table and said, "You Cheng Zhijie was just a bandit back then. ”
The implication is that it's still not a national duke?
Lao Cheng arched his hand to him and apologized again: "If it is according to my original intention, I will have to beat him for three months and not get out of bed this time, but I suddenly kill a blocker, according to the rules, I must obey." So the little brute escaped, and I only beat ten teas in total. ”
"Isn't ten teas enough?"
The old man in charge of the shopkeeper scolded, suddenly became curious again, and couldn't help but say, "Who is so majestic that he can stop you?" Could it be that His Majesty came in person, or the mother of Princess Qinghe? ”
Lao Cheng smashed his mouth, pretending to snort softly: "No, it's a teenager who hasn't grown any hair." ”
Mrs. Cheng added on the side: "But he calls himself Cheng Chumo's master, and we have to listen to his persuasion and stop." ”
The old man in charge nodded when he heard this, and suddenly muttered: "The old man understands, it's that homeless boy." ”
"That's him!"
Lao Cheng showed a look of anger, so he was dissatisfied and said: "I am not very old, my tone is very big, and I will stop my husband and wife when I open my mouth, and the old man will feel unhappy when he thinks about it." ”
The old man in charge smiled and persuaded him: "Heaven and earth are the king's teacher, the world is the fiveth, if it is really Xiao Cheng'er's master, people are indeed qualified to stop you, don't stare at you, the truth is such a reason, fortunately, you and your wife listened to the persuasion today, otherwise people can go to sue, and the people of the city will not support you, and they will say that you Lu Guogong Mansion treats Meng Shi harshly." ”
said that he was afraid that Lao Cheng would make a mistake, and then said: "Even if it makes trouble to His Majesty, it is estimated that he will stand on the side of the young man, after all, he is the teacher of the child, and he is more qualified to discipline the child than the parents." ”
Lao Cheng pretended to bow his head stupidly, but a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes, but there was still no leakage in his mouth, and he hummed and said: "If you want to be the master of my Lu Guogong Mansion, it is not so easy, the old man has already made a bet with him, and the time is set for three months, three months later, if he wins, I will let the child recognize this master, if he loses, then I have to calculate with him." ”
The old man in charge was slightly stunned, and said curiously: "You are a dignified prince and gambling against a homeless person?" ”
Mrs. Cheng next to her explained: "This is also a helpless thing, Cheng Chumo has already opened his mouth to recognize the master, logically speaking, people have justified their name, so even if he is a homeless person, his identity is on an equal footing with us." However, the husband felt that he was not qualified in his heart, so he wanted to find a way to make trouble. ”
In fact, this statement is completely reversed.
It is Li Yun who really wants to bet, not Lao Chengti's intention.
But Mrs. Cheng said this with ulterior motives, so she deliberately said that Lao Cheng wanted to make a fuss.
"That's nonsense."
The old man of the shopkeeper smiled helplessly, pointed at Cheng Yanjin and said, "You will be fooling around all your life." ”
Lao Cheng pursed his lips and pretended to be angry: "The homeless people also want to ascend to the sky, but Lao Tzu is just unhappy." ”
The old man of the shopkeeper glanced at him, and suddenly muttered: "The old man thinks that the young man is very good, although he is down, his dignity is not reduced, today they went to Cui's warehouse, people speak hard-tongued, not afraid, and talk eloquently, even the old man was impressed by him, and felt that this child was very extraordinary." ”
Lao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "So, Third Brother Cui is willing to give them credit?" ”
The old man in charge was slightly stunned, then shook his head again and again, and said with a serious face: "Reason is reason, business is business, Cui's asked me to preside over the warehouse, I can't follow my temperament." Tens of thousands of iron pots are involved, and no matter who they are, they have to pay first. ”
Lao Cheng sighed lightly, and said with a sad face: "Then there is no way, I can only suffer losses for my Cheng family, and the Cheng family will pay for this money." ”
The old man in charge of the shopkeeper flashed his eyes and seemed to be curious: "You just said that you were unhappy and wanted to gamble on his master's position?" ”
"But I have to think about the child......"
Lao Cheng pretended to be bored, gritted his teeth and said: "Now the whole Chang'an already knows that the eldest son of Lu Guogong has to make a big deal, not only to feed the homeless, but also to share the worries of the court, so even if he is Hu Lai, my Cheng family can only hold on." ”
The old man in charge of the shopkeeper nodded thoughtfully and said, "The face of the prince should not be lost." ”
