Chapter Twenty-Six: See Zheng Gongming Again
It's been more than ten days, and Xiao Yu still hasn't gotten any news about the matter entrusted to Zhuang Sheng, but after all, Xiao Yu doesn't dare to ask in person, and since that day, Zhuang Sheng has never appeared, he has a hunch that something seems to have happened, so he is depressed and often restless. Suddenly, he remembered the name of Zheng Gongming in the smoke house, so he hurried to the smoke house.
When the boss saw him, he immediately greeted him, and Xiao Yu asked, "How is that person?"
"I come every day, I have a lot of credit, and he is stuffed in by Young Master Zhuang, what do you think?"
"Let's take a look." Xiao Yu said coldly.
When he arrived at the place, the boss opened the door, and Xiao Yu saw him leaning on the edge of the bed and swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard someone enter the house, he was really happy! Xiao Yu was suddenly furious, walked over and grabbed the cigarette tube, and smashed it on the ground. Zheng Gongming woke up from his dream at this time, and when he saw the two people in front of him, he was a little overwhelmed. Xiao Yu couldn't help but say, kicked him to the ground, added his fists and kicks for a while, and beat him happily, Zheng Gongming just kept shouting and begging for mercy.
Xiao Yu was tired, and after taking a few breaths, he asked, "How much does he owe?"
"It's more than twenty taels." The boss said.
"Twenty taels... Well, okay! Xiao Yu scolded, "Pull it out, it's still on the street!" I don't have the money to learn what opium to smoke! β
The boss went out and summoned two guys, who dragged him out.
Zheng Gongming got up in a trance, twitched his face, and dragged away stupidly.
Xiao Yu secretly thought that this person was probably going to find Zhuang Sheng again, so he sent someone to follow him to see what Zhuang Sheng was busy with recently.
Sure enough, in just half a day, Zheng Gongming was itching, and he had no choice but to find Zhuang Sheng.
He walked to the side door of the mansion, where there was only a small servant sitting on a stone in front of the door to pass the time. He asked the little guy to enter and inform Zhuang Sheng, saying that he was Zhuang Sheng's friend, and the little guy looked up and down, although he was surprised, but he still went. The little guy found Luo'er, Luo'er naturally went to look, although she recognized the person in front of her at a glance, she was still taken aback, thinking that this Zheng Gongzi hadn't seen him for a few months, why did he become this shape-shaped appearance.
"Zheng... Son? Are you looking for my young master? Luoer asked.
"Yes," Zheng Gongming asked again, "how is he?" At... In the house, right? β
"Yes, yes." Luo'er asked, "Is there anything Zheng Gongzi needs me to convey?" β
"I... I want to see you in person. Zheng Gongming said with a smile.
"This can't be done, not only is the master not allowed, but the young lady will also be scolded if she knows it." Luo'er said, "If Zheng Gongzi wants to have something, I will convey it on my behalf, besides, the young master is going out today, and he is about to leave when he speaks!" β
Zheng Gongming stood blankly, his face full of loss and sadness.
At this time, someone summoned him in the front yard, and when Luo'er saw him like this, he said: "It's not free at this time, Zheng Gongzi has nothing to do, I'll leave first." After saying that, he left, and the little guy left him out of the door and didn't let him in.
Recently, Zhuang Sheng's house has been found, I have to go to see it today, if it is suitable, I have to buy it quickly, and then slightly renovate and renovate it according to my own wishes to live in it.
Zhuang Sheng, Yun'er, and Luo'er went together. When the old man Zhuang knew, he scolded: "You are a big girl with yellow flowers, and you are a famous lady, you should stay in the house to learn some knitting and embroidery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can you run out like a man all day long!"
Yun Yun didn't listen either, but he wanted to go, Zhuang Sheng was in a dilemma, cowardly and weak, so he had to hide, and it was difficult for Yun Yun to stand out, he was not as tough as Yun Yun's personality, Yun Yun sometimes hated him, he was in charge and still bowed his head like this, regardless of right and wrong, blindly listened to his father's words, and did not stand on his side.
Yun Yun's insistence was so angry that the old man Zhuang could only beat the ground on crutches and said: "The girl's family is not married, and you are not allowed to show your face outside, you have ruined your reputation!" β
scolded to Xing, and felt angry in his heart, so he scolded Zhuang Sheng a few more words: "Yun'er is still young, you are such a big person, how can you not be a person!" Run around with her! β
Zhuang Sheng didn't dare to answer more, the old man calmed down a little, and said: "I have chosen the daughter of Master Zhang's family, and I will get married after the New Year!" You are idle all day long, you don't do your job, you can't write literature, you can't martial arts, you can't mix until you're twenty-one years old, you can't do it after all, I will let Master Zhang support you, you can be an official. β
Zhuang Sheng bowed his head and was silent.
"Go out, don't run around with Yunyun!"
Zhuang Sheng came out, and Yun Yun asked, "What did Dad say about you?" β
"He called me an official, he asked me to marry, and he told me not to take you out," Zhuang Sheng sighed, "It seems that you can't get out." β
"What's the matter with Daddy?" Yun Yun blamed, "You, say that you are filial, you have not inherited your father's long-cherished wish, and you are mixed up like this, saying that you are not filial, and you dare not obey your father's words, why don't you have your own ideas?" I'm going out today, do you tell Daddy to go? β
Zhuang Sheng was helpless and said: "Dad is actually right, girls shouldn't show their heads often." β
"You are a person, your father is old and stubborn, and you are a little stubborn!"
Zhuang Sheng was speechless, Yun Yun insisted on going, and together with Luo'er, she inquired about her father resting and was about to go out.
Luo'er opened the door, but saw Zheng Gongming standing on the street outside the door.
The sudden situation made Luo'er stunned.
Yun Yun had just walked from the back of the corridor to the front yard, and happened to see Zheng Gongming outside the door, who was the addict that day, and couldn't help but be angry, and ordered: "Luo'er! What are you still standing for, not driving him away? β
Zheng Gongming seemed to be standing like a soul, and his godless eyes burst out with a glimmer of light, thinking: "This is Brother Zhuang's sister, and it's too fierce."
Zheng Gongming knows that he is inferior now, and now he is scolded by a little girl so much that he doesn't dare to speak, not only losing face, but also having no place to embarrass himself.
When Luo'er heard this, she hurriedly turned around, and saw Zhuang Sheng also walking out from behind, and felt embarrassed for a while. Zheng Gongming suddenly saw Zhuang Sheng and wanted to move forward, but he was afraid that Miss Zhuang had sharp eyes and hesitated. Zhuang Sheng also saw him, and Yun Yun was in front, so he didn't dare to ask, so he gave Luo'er a look, Luo'er only went out to drag Zheng Gongming aside, and said bitterly: "Zheng Gongzi, this time is different from the past, Miss has returned to China, although the young master is in charge, but still listen to Miss's words, didn't you touch the tip of the knife today?"
Zheng Gongming wanted to speak and stopped, standing indifferently.
"Luo'erβ" Zhuang Sheng shouted.
When Luo'er heard it, she said to Zheng Gongming: "You stand still first, I'll see what the young master says." Then, he ran to Zhuang Sheng's side with his head down, and he didn't dare to look at Yun Yun.
"Luo'er, what are you doing?" Yun Yun suddenly turned her head and asked.
Luo'er grinned and didn't speak.
Zhuang Sheng smiled at her and pulled Luo'er into the house.
Yun Yun just stood here with her own eyes and stared.
"What does he want to do?" Zhuang Sheng asked.
"No, it should beβ" said Rolle.
"Don't even think about it, it must be!" Zhuang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "That day, I was angry, and I said that I didn't care about him, but this is not good after all, he didn't spend less money when we went out together." In this way, you go and give him a few dozen taels, and speak harshly, so that he will not want to come back. β
Luo'er answered and went to the account office to withdraw the money.
When Zhuang Sheng came out to see again, Yun Yun was gone, screamed a few times, and didn't hear the answer, found her in the house, and sure enough, saw her in a daze in her room.
Zhuang Sheng walked in step by step and said, "Let's go, look at the house." β
"Are you going to keep him? How much money do I have in my family to support an addict? Yun Yun asked.
"You can't be too ruthless, this is the last time, if you see him again in the future, I don't care if you ask someone to beat him."
Yun Yun was speechless, Zhuang Sheng said a few more good words, convinced her that the two of them went out, and then walked to the left. Zheng Gongming shrank beside the stone lion on the right, wanting to speak but not daring to speak.
Seeing that the young master of the young lady walked away, Luo Er Fang came out and stuffed a bag of silver into Zheng Gongming's arms, and said: "The young master said, I won't care about you in the future, and don't come in the future, if you come back, the young lady will not spare you!"
Zheng Gongming got the money, and even nodded yes, and then left.
Luo Er and the housekeeper said a few more words, and also ran up to catch up with Zhuang Sheng and showed them their newly chosen house.
Xiao Yu appeared at the corner on the right, saw Zheng Gongming leaving with the silver, and said to himself, "Let you live happily for a few more days."
He was wondering what the two brothers and sisters were doing, so he stepped forward to intercept Luo'er and ask.
"Where are Young Master Zhuang and Miss Zhuang going?"
"Oh, it's Xiao Gongzi, my young master ordered me to find a good house on the edge of the city some time ago, and now I have found it, go and see it today, and buy it if I like it."
"What did he buy a house for?" Xiao Yu thought to himself, and then smiled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" There are still a few idle houses in my house, although they are not as big as your house, they can still live in people. β
Luo Er smiled and said, "Xiao Gongzi will meet another day?" I'm on my way now. β
"Let's go together, maybe there's something that can help."
Luo'er hesitated for a moment, said okay, and the two went over together.
The road is not far, only walking for less than half an hour, and it has already walked more than half of the distance.
Along the way, Yun Yun seemed unhappy, rarely spoke, and only walked, but she still couldn't help asking, "Brother, why do you want to buy a house?" Is my house bad? β
"I can't live long, I have to plan ahead." Zhuang Sheng said, "And the area here is prosperous, and people come and go very noisy, so I want to find a remote place and be quiet." β
"Daddy agreed?"
"Don't dare to tell him, my father will definitely not agree, in his eyes there is no house worthy of this house."
"Then you're looking for something else?"
"I don't see that I can live for a long time, and if I don't look for another place, I will live on the streets in the future?"
"What do you say?" Yun Yun listened to him seriously, but there was no basis.
"This general's mansion is a royal building, the dynasty has fallen, this mansion is going to be confiscated, and it will not be your turn to live."
Yun Yun wondered, he had already told himself twice about the imminent death of the Qing Dynasty, why was he so sure.
After a while, Xiao Yu and Luo'er caught up, Zhuang Sheng was very ashamed because he didn't fulfill his promise, Xiao Yu didn't mention it, only said: "Why didn't Brother Zhuang tell me if he wanted to buy a house?" One or two yards that my friends are idle, although they are not big, they can be lived. β
"Luo'er has found it, we are about to go and see, if not, let's talk about it."
Yun Yun didn't want to see him, Xiao Yu was very embarrassed, and she didn't know where to offend this young lady so deeply.
