Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled and said, "I don't know what the virtuous nephew plans to do next?" ”

"Yilong County is sparsely populated, and it has become more popular in the past two days, so I plan to go to Chengdu the day after tomorrow, where business may be better." Li Qing thought about it last night, this ice water business depends on popularity to accumulate wealth, yesterday coincided with the lottery to earn three times, if it is usual, I am afraid that I will not even be able to make consistent, but the season is strong, this summer is only a hundred times at most, and his plan is far from it, so he thought about it for two days, and went to Chengdu to develop.

Xian Yu Zhongtong pondered for a moment but said: "I advise the virtuous nephew not to go to Chengdu for the time being, first, the weather in Chengdu is cool, the demand for ice is not very hot, and secondly, there are many rich households in Chengdu, almost every family has an ice cellar, unless the virtuous nephew works the variety and sells what others don't have, and now these ice dew and ice cubes, to put it bluntly, are only needed by the poor, and they can't be put on the table, so it is better to go to Langzhou, the population is also large, the weather is also hot, and it is just developing, of course, this is just a little suggestion from me, how to do it, and the nephew has to make his own idea, after all, the nephew is the owner, but— ”

Speaking of the word 'but', Xian Yu Zhongtong's eyes became extremely sharp, and he looked directly at Li Qingdao: "I don't care what you do, but you must not go down the evil path!" ”

Li Qing's heart shook, and he hurriedly said: "My nephew doesn't dare, and he won't!" ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong shook his head and said: "I'm not without purpose, I was a little hesitant when I heard the reason why you were arrested that day, but I still came to save you for the sake of Lian'er's loyalty, do you know why?" ”

"My nephew doesn't know, please speak up to Uncle Shi!"

The curtain next to her heard her father-in-law mention her name, and saw that the two of them had serious expressions, and she was slightly surprised in her heart, and she also pulled Xiaoyu over to listen, Xian Yu Zhongtong looked at her, and said, "You can listen to it too!" Remind him from time to time. ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong pointed to the more and more humanitarian people gathered: "This method of drawing color is what you came up with, you see, so many people are obsessed with it, unwilling to work down-to-earth to make money, but just want to take shortcuts, waiting for pie to fall from the sky, greedy for money and impetuous, although the matter is small, over time it will make Yilong's world decline and morality will deteriorate, you must know that the embankment of a thousand miles will also collapse in ants, just by virtue of this, you should also live in the prison for a few more days." ”

Li Qing's sweat has been dripping down his forehead, in his era, the lottery was openly organized by the government, but there was no leader to consider social morality, to consider the future of the nation, everything looked at money, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was a big official and businessman who said these words, it was really not a taste, and it was tantamount to a wake-up call, deafening.

"There should be a way for business, not ignorant of conscience, not pit goodness, preaching justice, this is the real businessman, I saw that you were a talent, I wanted you to help me, but you refused, you want to develop yourself, but I didn't expect you to go to the lottery, let me down, fortunately, you reined in the precipice, did not fall deeper, so you sell ice water, I also think you are upright, is a man who stands up to the sky, life in the world, although there are many things to force it, but the principle of being a man can not be lost, you remember no!"

Li Qing nodded silently: "Nephew, remember Uncle Shi's teachings!" ”

At this time, there were already countless children jumping and jumping around the stall, Xian Yu Zhongtong patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Give them happiness, you are also happy, you go and get busy!" I went to the county magistrate to ban this lottery method. ”

．．．．．．．．．．．

The next day, Yilong's lottery activities were banned by the government, and Li Qing also took curtains and light rain, as well as a large number of bottles and cans of yellow dogs, got on a mule cart, bid farewell to Yilong, and headed for Langzhou.

Langzhou is the seat of Langzhong County, in today's Langzhong area of Sichuan, the climate here is mild, rich in fruits, but this year it seems that God wants to fulfill Li Qing, the weather in Langzhou is extremely hot, enter the city gate, the mule driver who drove the car looked back and smiled: "I have a relative in this Langzhou City has a single courtyard to seek rent, the location is good, the price is also cheap, are you interested?" ”

Along the way, he heard the three of them discussing the matter of renting a house, and when he entered the city gate, he couldn't help but say it, Li Qingzheng was worried about renting a house, and suddenly heard this, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you so much, brother." ”

"No thanks! You're welcome! When you settle my wages later, just give me a few more pennies. After waiting for a long time but not hearing Li Qing's response, the mule driver glanced at Li Qing slightly, and saw that he and the second daughter were talking and laughing freely, as if they hadn't heard their own words at all, and couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts, and said: "It's just that this house is rumored to be haunted, I'll tell you first, don't blame me for not saying it then." ”

"Haunted!" Curtain and Xiaoyu glanced at each other, couldn't help but sit closer, and looked at Li Qing timidly with four eyes.

Li Qing smiled, how can there be any ghosts in this world, it is nothing more than some stupid women and foolish men interpreting some visions as ghosts, his heart moved slightly, if the ghost is haunted, the rent may be cheaper, so he smiled and asked, "How much is it a month?" ”

Seeing that he didn't care about the feelings of his second daughter, the mule driver felt a little contempt in his heart, so he said casually: "My relative said that his house usually costs 300 wen a month, but because there are rumors of haunting, he has to rent it cheaply, 80 wen a month." ”

"Eighty Wen!" Li Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was going to rent it for half a year, which was only five hundred Wen at most, but after thinking about it again, this was just an offer, maybe it could be cheaper, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "The room is clean, but someone has lived in it?" ”

The mule driver was honest and didn't understand Li Qing's tentative meaning, so he said honestly: "His house has never been rented, of course no one has lived in it." ”

Li Qing was overjoyed, considering the cost of this empty pass, and the counteroffer to fifty wen could definitely be done, but at this time, the curtain was worried and said: "Son, let's find another one!" There's a lot of trouble there, there's a lot of trouble. ”

She was a little afraid of ghosts, but seeing the excitement in his eyes, she knew that he had been moved, and before she had finished speaking, she heard the mule-driver's answer, and the curtain was suddenly deflated, and at this point, the matter became eight points, and there was no need to ask any more.

Sure enough, Li Qing turned around, patted the dazed yellow dog and smiled: "With it, don't be afraid of any ghosts, besides, have you forgotten what I used to do?" ”

Li Qing was full of interest, snatched the horsewhip and shook it in the air, and sang loudly: "Li Tianshi has made a move!" A top two,......"

．．．．．．

The muleman's relatives exchanged the key for Li Qing's three hundred yuan, and glared at the mule driver fiercely, if it weren't for him, how would these people know that this house was haunted, originally he offered one hundred yuan, but the young man returned it to thirty yuan, and it was extremely reluctant, several bargaining, and finally sold for fifty yuan, which is too far from his reserve price of eighty yuan, but there is nothing to be done, after all, this house has been empty for two years, and it can make a little money!

"There is only one key, if you lose it, you have to change the lock yourself, and the bucket in the well is also broken, you need to buy one yourself, if you don't want to renew the lease after half a year, you have to tell me in January."

The landlord got the money, snorted heavily at the muleman, and then walked away. The muleman's face was red, and he was depressed to unload the things for them, but he didn't dare to rush at Li Qingfa, after all, the account was not settled yet! Li Qingxiao Mimi came over, ordered a hundred yuan to him, and thanked him: "Thanks to my brother, otherwise I would have to stay at the guest house tonight, this is your salary, according to the price we agreed." ”

After the mule driver counted the money, he didn't give a penny more, he looked at Li Qing in a daze, and originally expected him to give a little thank-you gift for introducing the house, but he was so red that he couldn't say a sentence for a long time: "You are a man!" If I can't make a fortune within a year, my king character will be written upside down! ”

Li Qing smiled slightly, but ignored him, only gave the curtain a look, and went to move things by himself, the mule driver looked at his back, shook his head helplessly, and was about to leave, but was pulled by the curtain, handed him a cloth bag and said: "This is two hundred yuan, thanks to your help these days, it is a thank you gift!" ”

The mule driver was startled, and hurriedly excused himself: "You have already been paid, how can you ask for more, besides, if he knows." His mouth turned towards Li Qing's back, and he said in a low voice: "Wasn't the young lady's life sad at that time?" ”

"My son-in-law is not the kind of person you think." Curtain smiled and explained: "This money is what he asked me to give you." ”

"Really?" The mule driver hesitated to take it, "Then why did he bother renting a house, causing me to lose face in front of my relatives." ”

Curtain shook her head and said, "Uncle, you've been with us all these days, don't you understand?" It's not easy for us to make money, get up early and be greedy for darkness, every penny is fighting under the scorching sun, and he wants to do something, so he can be thrifty, and the rent is cheaper, but your relatives have not lost, he is not unsympathetic, you help us so much, he is in mind, this money he has already prepared. ”

"So that's the case, I misunderstood him, but he just gave it to me directly, why did he ask Miss to change his hand, it's really too much."

"Uncle just take the money, don't ask more." Lian'er didn't want to explain anymore, and she also knew in her heart that this was because Li Qing really didn't like this muleman.

The mule driver silently took the money, he was moved in his heart, jumped on the car and shouted twice, the mule cart slowly started, gradually walked away, and his grateful voice came from afar: "You are all good people, and there will be good rewards in the future!" ”
