Chapter 102: Good News

"Nothing." Jing Ji smiled and replied, "My brother is here to congratulate Uncle Wan." ”

Over there, Jingxiang also moved quickly, took out the cold rice balls that had been prepared a long time ago, wiped them on the back of the portrait of Emperor Wenchang, and pasted them on the wall of Wanjia with his hands and feet.

The band that had entered the procession also crowded into the courtyard, found an open space, and played the two tunes "Joyful and Happy" and "Festival High" over and over again, which made people panic.

Butcher Wan was taken aback, he had not seen such a scene uncommonly. Every Chinese New Year, there are always some idlers who are too poor to bear, so they buy a stack of small thin pieces of paper such as the yellow calendar, and go to each shop to pay New Year's greetings. If the master doesn't give three or five words, these idlers will rely on it and not move their nests.

Looking at the posture of the Jing brothers, they brought in a hundred and ten people in one breath, and there was a band, and they would not give up if they didn't knock themselves hard.

At the thought of coming up with a large sum of money, the butcher of Wan shuddered and shouted: "Hey, Brother Jing, you and I have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, can't we make such a big battle?" Everyone begs for a living on the street at a sky-high price, and they don't look up and look down, and they don't deal with it in the future, so they can use such ruthless hands? ”

Jing Ji arched his hand with a happy face, and said, "Old lady Wan, my brother came here to say hello today, but he didn't mean anything else. You probably don't know that your son-in-law Sun Dan won the first place in the Shandong Academy. Now he is a famous scholar, which is amazing. You are Sun Dan's father-in-law, and you are going to enjoy happiness with you. ”

"How is that possible?" Butcher Wan sneered and said, "I don't know who my son-in-law is. That's a monkey with a sharp mouth, originally, I thought he was pitiful, and wanted him to come to my case to learn to kill pigs. But when you look at him, Hugh wants to say, '' the knife, but I'm afraid that when I hear the pig's cry, I'll be so frightened that I lose my soul. Now, people are working as gardeners in the Sun family, salivating and asking for food, how can they go to the imperial examination? Besides, I've heard people say that it's been more than three months since I took the exam. If it was really my stupid son-in-law who won the first place, how could I not have heard him say it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Ten thousand butchers, you really only deserve to kill pigs, and you haven't seen any big people." Earlier, I also saw your son-in-law dressed as King Wuzheng of Zhou, dressed as a scholar and going to the county office. When I came out, the county lord personally delivered it to the door! You rammer, you have a Wenqu star in your own family, but you don't know it. ”

The person who spoke was a good friend of the butcher, and he was usually an old man, and he never joked about it. Hearing his words, Butcher Wan's heart paused.

Jing Ji also sneered at the appearance of the butcher: "Who are you, a pig killer, who are you, the first genius in Shandong, and you have a good reputation, why do you want to tell you, you don't have to fold your identity." Brother Tan won the first place, and he still can't worship the teacher meeting or something in these three months? Your Excellency is busy, but it is not something you can understand. Besides, what your butcher does to others, everyone in the county knows it. That's first-class meanness. Sun Dan finally turned over, why do you want to stick your cold ass with a hot face. Believe it or not, no matter what my Jing family brother says, he is also a relative of the Sun family, no matter how much he messes around, he doesn't dare to say this kind of big thing. ”

This remark made the butcher look embarrassed, and the butcher thought about it, if the Jing brothers only wanted to cheat themselves out of a few dollars, they would not be able to make such a big move, and the whole city would know about it. It seems that this Sun Dan has really gained fame.

He also heard some time ago that there was a person named Sun Dan in the Sun family who was studying in the clan study, and he also won the first place in the county examination, and later went to Jinan for reference. I thought it was another person with the same name and surname. Hearing what the Jing brothers said today, he already believed it completely.

Ten thousand butchers kill pigs all day long, and they have the "sex" of tens of thousands of pigs on their hands, and they see a lot of blood, and people have become "superstitious". I heard that the students who can get fame are all stars in the sky, and I remembered that I used to treat Sun Dan so much, but I was afraid that there would be retribution. As soon as he thought of this, he felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

Jing Ji's next words made him even more afraid.

Jing Ji put his mouth to the ear of Butcher Wan and whispered: "Old Wan, don't say that I didn't remind you, what you did to your son-in-law before is not authentic. Now, Brother Dan is a famous person, and he can speak well in the government. He took out the piece of paper from his arms and put it in front of Butcher Wan: "Sun Dan now wants to sue Lao Wan that you deceived the Sun family's shop, and the paper has been written, and there is also a painting of Gong Matchmaker on it." You're going to have to settle this lawsuit. Do you think, is the county magistrate helping you or Sun Dan? ”

The butcher of Wan was excited, and said, "That is naturally to help my family's virtuous son-in-law." ”

"Yes, even if it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, as long as this lawsuit is fought for three years and five years, even if you have ten thousand family properties, you have to fill in the bottomless hole in the yamen. It's also my brother's kindness, and he can't bear to see the uncontrollable trouble between your son-in-law. In addition, my brother can also talk a few words to your son-in-law in the house on weekdays, so I persuaded him to stop and asked for this piece of paper to remind you. I said Wan butcher, you are confused, a shop is worth a few dollars. With your son-in-law's current status, as long as he speaks, there will naturally be countless people who flatter him, come to deliver the land, the shop, and even devote himself to the shadow of the servant. Do you still look down on your shop? The reason why he wants to ask you for that shop is that it is your ancestral property, and secondly, you have done things a little before, and people want to say this. ”

When Butcher Wan thought of this consequence, he was afraid in his heart, and he couldn't help wiping his sweat: "Now that my virtuous son-in-law has a reputation, he won't look down on my shop." ”

Jing Ji said with a smile: "Butcher, with your son-in-law's talent, you will definitely be able to become an official in two years and be a big man." At that time, you will be an old lady, and if he leaks a little between his fingers for you, it will be enough for you to eat and drink. What are you doing with his shop now? Because of the small loss, the rat's eyes are small. ”

"That's, that's." The butcher nodded again and again, and said, "When I asked him for that shop, it was because his father promised it to me in the first place. Besides, Sun Dan is young, I am afraid that he will be deceived, so I will keep it for him for the time being. I'm going to give it back to him. ”

After speaking, Butcher Wan immediately stood up and shouted at his wife: "Go and call Wanli's rebel son back, his brother-in-law is now Xiucai, and ask him to prepare gifts and go to congratulate him." ”

He didn't hesitate, he immediately found the deed of the shop from the back room, and took out a few more letters of silver to reward the Jing brothers and the band who came to report the good news, changed into new clothes, and walked towards Sun Dan's house with a burly figure.

The people who came to see the excitement refused to disperse, and still followed behind the Ten Thousand Butchers.

Soon, the news that Sun Dan won the first place in Shandong spread in the city.

The grapevine "plugged" its wings, but the butcher only had two stubby legs, which naturally fell behind the news.

Along the way, there are constantly people running to the butcher and arching their hands, saying; "Congratulations to Mrs. Wan, congratulations to Mrs. Wan."

Wan Butcher's reputation in Zouping is not good, when have you seen such a situation, I only feel that today I am proud of my eyebrows, and I walk with the wind.
