Chapter 273: Picking chrysanthemums into flowers
When the subordinates of Du Mansion opened the door the next morning, they found that the corners of the wall were full of yellow chrysanthemums, mixed with a faint smell of wine, and they became angry and kicked Huang Ju away, looking around indignantly, wanting to see who dared to throw things in front of Du Mansion.
happened to be seen by the housekeeper who went out to see this scene, his eyes widened angrily, and he rushed up regardless of his manners and kicked his subordinates into the air, hitting the wall and bleeding nonstop. "Bastard, who told you to knock Huang Ju down, why don't you put it up quickly? Someone comes, quickly instruct the kitchen to cook some soup, set up a stall at the door, if someone comes to offer flowers and wine, be sure to invite someone to eat. After the butler finished speaking, he glanced at the ignorant subordinate angrily, and left angrily.
He walked away less than a moment, there were three or three people in twos and threes with yellow chrysanthemum and sake arrived, the strict class made them unable to enter the mourning hall to pay respects, but they kowtowed outside the Du Mansion to offer wine, and then put the yellow chrysanthemum in the corner of the wall, and left with a sad face.
On this day, Chang'an chrysanthemums were all picked up, and the people did not produce, and some people started to walk from the night, walking more than ten miles to mourn Du Ruhui.
The Du family was naturally alarmed, leaving Du Gou to guard the mourning hall, and Du He came out to kowtow and answer. Whether the visitor is a well-dressed scholar or a poorly dressed beggar, as long as he comes to pay respects, he must return the salute.
The return gift came back to the back pain, so they changed Du to make it out, they had never seen such a shocking scene in their lives, and they were extremely proud of their father in their hearts.
When a white-haired old man with a wooden stick in his left hand and a child in his right hand trembled, this old man was dressed in rags and a few bags hanging from his waist, and he looked like a beggar.
Du Wei, who was returning the salute on the side, immediately struggled to get up when he saw this scene, and his knees were numb. But he still pushed away the subordinate who wanted to help him, walked to the old man and supported his left hand, and said gratefully: "The old man is old, just have a heart, if there is any accident, let me know how the Du family can be at ease." ”
"Coming, coming. In the second year, if it weren't for Xiangye's bowl of rice porridge and that piece of cake, the grandson of the old man would have starved to death. Child, Xiangye has been a citizen all his life, you have to help Xiangye's son-in-law carry forward Xiangye's mansion! ”
The old man grabbed Du Gou's hand, patted it vigorously, and admonished warmly. Du Wei looked at the old man's eyes, only to find that his eyes were gray and white, and he was already blind.
At that moment, tears flowed, and he gestured to stop others from breaking it, and said in a choked voice: "Don't worry, my husband, we will definitely help Gongzi carry forward the mansion, and we will not insult the name of Xiangye." ”
"That's good, that's good." The old man said and let go of Du Wei's hand, groped his way to the wall, gently put Huang Ju in the corner of the wall, took out the wine utensils and poured three glasses of wine, where he cried sadly.
Huang Ju should be picked by a child, the wine pot and wine glass do not know which temple they borrowed from, but no one dared to despise the old and the young, after they finished crying, Du Gou kowtowed a head in return, the old man heard the voice and hurriedly hid aside, saying that he did not deserve the gift of the son, and slowly walked away with a wooden stick in the child's pull.
At the end of this day, the waists of the two brothers of the Du family were about to break, and their heads were also bruised, maybe they felt sorry for the two filial sons! The next day, no more people came to offer flowers and wine, they all came after nightfall, or early in the morning, the outside of Du Mansion was full of yellow chrysanthemum, and the aroma even covered the taste of ingots and candles, making Du Fu fragrant pleasant.
Fang Xuanling cried and laughed after he came, looked at Huang Ju all over the ground and said with relief: "Be an official like Keming, and die without regrets." ”
Seven days after the mortuary, the Du brothers wanted to help the coffin back to Du Ling, and Baiguan Xian came to say goodbye, and he was mournful for a while. Cai Cong naturally came, wearing the clothes of Dr. Zijin Guanglu, which was his highest-ranking official position, to show his respect for Du Ruhui.
On this day, Chang'an was silent, and in mourning, all the people sent their way to say goodbye to this good official who had been in office for three years but had countless people.
But life still has to go on, and when the coffin left Chang'an and sailed away, Chang'an resumed its hustle and bustle, but with fewer quarrels than usual.
Cai Cong sent Du Ruhui back to the Hou Mansion and found that many bigwigs came to his house one step ahead of him, drinking tea one by one, waiting for him with Erlang's legs crossed. "What's the wind today? Blow all the elders here, if there is anything, you can send someone to talk about it, and the kid will definitely do it. ”
Cai Cong took a big sip of tea and said comfortably. The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, looked at him and said with great certainty: "If you shoot someone, you will definitely break someone's leg and then hide from us." ”
"Oops, hey, headache, the kid has a cold, you adults drink tea, Fang Yuan helps me entertain guests, take care of the things at home, there have been many thieves recently, don't let someone steal things."
When Cai Cong heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he covered his head and began to walk towards the side door. If you are so approachable that you can break someone's leg, what this group of old things want must be very excessive, so let's talk about it first.
However, before he could find two steps, he was grabbed by Cheng Yanjin's hand that was bigger than a pu fan, and lifted Cai Cong to the seat like a chicken, and he said subtly: "The old man knows a little about the art of disambiguation, this is a headache!" It's best to cure it, as long as you pry open the skull with a knife and dig out the saliva in it, it will definitely be fine. ”
"Cheng Lao didn't expect you to have this hand, hurry up and cure this kid's headache, so that I can wait to open my eyes." Wei Chigong didn't think it was too big to shout, Cai Cong twisted his neck, twisted his head and chirped: "If you want money, you want to die, you can watch it!" ”
"I know that your kid is rich and rivals the country, but we are not going to rob it, the old man and others are here to do business with you today, I heard that you still have a lot of ginseng at home, right?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said sourly, except for those two people in the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to say that he was rich by Cai Cong. Relying on the royal privilege to do business all over the world, the money flowed into the Cai family like water, and others said that it was fake if they were not jealous.
"Doing business? Why don't you say it early when doing business! Fang Yuan, what are you still doing stupidly? I actually gave you adults this kind of tea, quick, go and bring my best Tieguanyin. ”
Hearing the word business, Cai Cong immediately came to life, scolded Fang Yuan, and then looked at the big guys with a smile.
Everyone was in awe, no wonder they made money so cruelly, this cheekiness is not comparable to them, it is completely shameless!
"I don't know what business you guys want to do? I basically have the goods from the south to the north, and the price is fair, so there is no bullying for children! ”
"How did you sell your 100-year-old ginseng? Bring me ten. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was about to speak, but Wei Chigong asked with a big grin, and it was the kind of lion who opened his mouth widely.
Cai Cong's face changed greatly, he looked around, and found that this group of people were eyeing each other, his face changed again, and he said to Fang Yuan who walked to the door: "Fang Yuan, don't make tea, this business can't be done, go to the warehouse and carry a basket of ten years of ginseng to give a point to the adults, and then help me send off the guests." ”
