Chapter 8 Committing Hooliganism
The Zhuangjin Workshop is located on the edge of Qiumo Street in Jingliu Polder, and is a large mansion that has been vacant for many years directly requisitioned by the state officials with an official document.
In the past, the owner of the mansion was a large family.
Sixteen years ago, after the owner of the mansion learned that Ensheng was about to rebel, he rushed to the county seat overnight to report to the Tusi-Mo Huairen, but it was too late, and the Tusi Yamen was still breached. Afterwards, this family was destroyed by Ensheng Tusi, so the entire mansion has been vacant to this day, and the courtyard is dilapidated, and no one dares to occupy it.
When the governor learned that the house had been vacant, he sent someone to repair it, and he also established the Jingliu Zhuangjin Workshop.
The mansion is composed of four small courtyards, Mo Qinglian and Xie Yingjun live in the east and west courtyards respectively, and the south and north courtyards are both places for making Zhuang brocade.
The day before, in order to vent his anger on his cousin, Deng Qiantu wanted to teach Wei Shihao a lesson, but by mistake, he offended Mo Qinglian instead, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
The matter has come to this point, it is indispensable to come to the door to make amends, the key is that Deng Qiantu has a love for Mo Qinglian and Mo Man, in case Mo Qinglian has been unwilling to forgive him, what should I do?
In addition, as soon as Deng Qiantu closed his eyes, there would be a picture of Wei Shihao grabbing Mo Qinglian's chest with one hand, and that picture was like a sharp steel needle, piercing his heart fiercely, making his chest pain unbearable.
Early in the morning, Deng Qiantu thought of a plan, so he rushed to the Jingliu workshop with silver taels. He first secretly sued Wei Shihao in front of Xie Yingjun, saying that he took the opportunity to insult Mo Qinglian, and this hooligan behavior must be severely punished.
Is this still worth it?
Xie Yingjun, who was furious, indiscriminately took people to Wei Shihao's house to arrest people.
Deng Qiantu stood in front of the gate of the workshop, and after seeing Xie Yingjun and his subordinates going towards Wei Shihao's house with a menacing attitude, he thought: "This time, it's strange to see that you Wei Shihao doesn't take off a layer of skin." ”
Thinking of the picture of Wei Shihao being taken to the Zhuangjin Workshop and tortured in every way, Deng Qiantu couldn't help but smile, and turned around and walked towards the east courtyard.
However, this incident frustrated Deng Qian's wishful thinking. When Xie Yingjun walked to the door of Wei Shihao's house, he had already calmed down, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was something wrong with this matter, if it was really as Deng Qiantu said, then why didn't Mo Qinglian tell him directly, but Deng Qiantu?
Because it was just hearsay, Xie Yingjun seemed calmer when he arrived at Wei Shihao's house, which is not difficult to understand why Wei Ermei violently resisted the law, and he was able to open up the net.
When Deng Qiantu hummed a mountain song proudly and walked to the gate of the East Courtyard, he was stopped by the guards of the East Courtyard: "May I ask Deng Gongzi, who are you looking for?" ”
"Who else can I find here? Of course, I was looking for the shopkeeper Mo. Deng Qiantu said, and casually threw a silver ingot at the guard.
After the guard received the silver, he said with a smile: "Deng Gongzi, please wait a moment, I will go and help you make an appointment with the shopkeeper Mo." ”
The guards reaped the benefits early in the morning, so they happily ran into the east courtyard and reported to Mo Qinglian's maid, and Deng Qiantu asked to see him.
At this time, from the pavilion in the east courtyard, two women's singing like silver bells came:
Swallows fly up to the sky in the morning,
The insect smiled.
The lazy man gets up from the bed three poles,
Lack of oil and salt for three meals a day.
Deng Qiantu pricked up his ears and listened excitedly, he could hear that such a beautiful singing voice must be the singing voice of Mo Qinglian and Mo Man.
Mo Qinglian has loved singing mountain songs since she was a child, and she invited Mo Man to be the master of Zhuang Jin, not only to let her guide the workers to weave Zhuang Jin, but also to teach her to sing mountain songs every day.
When Deng Qiantu was listening energetically, Mo Qinglian's personal maid and guard walked out of the courtyard.
"Deng Gongzi, please go back! My young lady is practicing singing, and she doesn't see any guests! The maid said coldly.
"Yueyue, you can help inform me again! I have something important to report to the shopkeeper Mo. Deng Qiantu said with a smile, his right hand was thrown into the air, and a white flower pattern silver was thrown into the air and then fell into his hand with his movements.
Yueyue only swallowed her saliva when she saw it, and said with some embarrassment: "It's a little difficult for me to watch." ”
"Then it's up to you." Deng Qiantu threw the ingot of silver to Yueyue and said with a smile.
"Okay, you wait here." After Yueyue got the silver, she squinted and saw a heavy small cloth bag pinned to Deng Qiantu's waist, she estimated that it was all silver, and there were at least twenty or thirty taels, so she changed her mind.
Deng Qian's disciples were generous, often using money to open the way, and they repeatedly succeeded.
After Yueyue returned to the east courtyard for a cup of tea, she returned to the original place again, at this time she changed her gloomy face just now, but said with a smile: "Deng Gongzi, our young lady is invited!" She is waiting for you in the gazebo in the garden. ”
In the pavilion, two young women who are as beautiful as flowers, with two braids of twisted flowers up to their waists, sit side by side, reading a song book with relish, savoring the lyrics and charm of the book.
Wearing a pink dress and a golden phoenix hairpin tied in her braids, it was Mo Qinglian.
The other person wearing a yellow-green shirt and a long white and green skirt was none other than Master Zhuangjin-Moman.
When the two were talking, Deng Qiantu, who was wearing a small cloth bag around his waist, came to the pavilion under the guidance of Yueyue.
"Miss, Deng Gongzi is visiting!" Yueyue stepped forward and said.
Deng Qiantu hunched his waist slightly, smiled flatteringly, and kept nodding to Mo Qinglian and Mo Man, looking respectful.
"Oh!" Mo Qinglian waved her hand without raising her head, and asked Yueyue to stand outside the pavilion, and did not order her to serve tea, which shows that Deng Qiantu is not welcomed.
"Villain Deng Qian, visit Shopkeeper Mo!" Deng Qiantu raised his voice and bowed deeply to Mo Qinglian.
"Yo, it turned out that the eldest prince Deng came to the cold house? It's really shining! Mo Qinglian raised her head and said with a gloomy face.
In fact, when Yue Yue came to report, Mo Qinglian knew that Deng Qiantu was visiting, but after being beaten into the water by the other party yesterday, he was still angry, so he deliberately neglected him.
"Yes, yes, it's the villain Deng. Today's visit to apologize is here. Deng Qiantu smiled, untied the small cloth bag around his waist, walked into the pavilion, and then put the small cloth bag on the stone table in front of Mo Qinglian, and said with a smile: "A little meaning is not a respect, please Mo Shopkeeper smile!" Deng had no intention of offending the shopkeeper Mo yesterday, please bear with me! ”
Mo Man had already heard about what happened yesterday, but Deng Qiantu carried a bag of silver to apologize, she was still surprised, and thought to herself: "This rich man is generous, and one throw is enough for our poor family to spend more than several years." ”
"Yesterday, didn't your father go to Wei's house to ask for compensation? Why is it that it comes out of your mouth now that it has become your fault again? Mo Qinglian threw the song book on the stone table and said coldly.
"Oh, you say this? It's okay, it's okay. At the beginning, my father didn't know the truth, so he went to the Wei family to ask for an explanation, and after being taught a lesson by the shopkeeper Mo, he had already repented, and he would no longer blame the Wei family. No, Abba told me to come to the door early in the morning to make amends. Originally, he was also going to come, but his health was not good these days, so I took care of it all by myself. Deng Qianfu said with a smile.
"Can he let go of the Wei family's acres of fertile land?" Mo Qinglian continued to sarcastically mock the other party.
"This ......" Deng Qiantu was speechless for a moment, and the scene was very embarrassing.
"Hehe......" Mo Qinglian laughed dryly, the private affairs of the Deng family and the Wei family, it seems that she should not meddle in them. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she was too lenient, and in order to avoid embarrassment, she broke the atmosphere with a dry laugh.
"Hehe, shopkeeper Mo is burying me!" Deng Qiantu said with a smile.
Mo Qinglian gave Yueyue next to her a look, and the latter grabbed the cloth bag on the table and put it away in her arms. She casually checked it, and the bag was really silver, about thirty taels.
"Okay, Deng Gongzi, please go back! I also accepted this gift, even if yesterday's incident is over, not to mention the special situation at the time, you can't recognize me, otherwise you won't dare to attack this girl if you borrow ten guts, right? Mo Qinglian felt that so much silver would not be collected in vain, so she gave the other party a step down. After all, the other party is a local snake, and there are many things that will depend on the other party in the future!
"What the shopkeeper said is extremely true, thank you, thank you!" Deng Qiantu saw that Mo Qinglian had accepted the money, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
After Deng Qiantu finished speaking, he had no intention of leaving.
Mo Qinglian asked strangely: "Deng Gongzi, is there anything else?" ”
"Oh...... Actually, there is nothing else. Yesterday's incident was all thanks to Wei Shihao, and he also offended Shopkeeper Mo, he deserved to die! No, when I came to the door of the workshop, I happened to meet Master Xie who took someone to Wei Shihao's house to arrest people and vent his anger for the shopkeeper! I guess this will be back soon. Deng Qiantu said proudly.
"Oh, this stinky rascal is damned!" Mo Qinglian showed a look of surprise, but quickly calmed down again, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a small sip of tea.
"Catch Wei Shihao? What crime did he commit? "In Mo Man's eyes, Wei Shihao is a very honest person, why was he arrested by the government?
"Hooliganism!" Mo Qinglian turned her head to Mo Man and said, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
Morman could see that the other party was joking, and he chuckled.
