Chapter 15 Making Something Out of Nothing
Qin Hao came out of the Tian family's compound empty-handed, although he earned fifteen yuan as he wished, but he didn't have the courage to hand over the money to the old Qin Tou in person, he really couldn't face those desperate eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dealing with these things, Tian Youdao is more experienced than him, not to mention that Tian Youdao has to discuss with the uncle of his family how to build a salt field, and it would be better for him to send these copper coins.
There is no need to face the master of the family directly, Qin Hao's mood is happy, thinking that he is about to go to the Drunken Red Mansion with Lai Baye, his mood is even happier, walking on the way to the Drunken Red Mansion, his mouth began to hum the vague east wind again.
Unlike Qin Hao's happy mood, Tian Xiaoqian followed behind him with a pout, as long as he thought of his agreement with that scoundrel, his heart felt like a thorn was constantly piercing there.
Before he arrived at the Drunken Red Mansion, that Lai Ba was like a wild dog, and he didn't know where to get out of it, and he didn't care whether Qin Hao was happy or not, he took his hand and laughed:
"Brother Qin Hao is really trustworthy, my brother waited here for a long time, and I thought you weren't coming!"
As soon as he said this, he saw Tian Xiaoqian, who was following Qin Hao, who had raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows there, and said malicefully, "Miss Tian, I entered the Drunken Red Mansion with Brother Qin Hao, you won't follow, right?" ”
Facing Lai Baye's scoundrel face, Tian Xiaoqian really couldn't think of any other way except for snorting coldly, and then looked at Qin Hao, with a happy look, she really wanted to slap a brick and slap it hard.
Dengzhou Mansion is not big, and it is not difficult to walk in the Drunken Red Mansion, but after a few words, the three of them came to the door of the Drunken Red Mansion, and before Lai Baye dragged Qin Hao in, Tian Xiaoqian dodged and went to the door first.
As a result, even the battle-hardened Lai Baye was stunned in the local area, he really couldn't imagine that Tian Xiaoqian, the daughter of the richest man in Dengzhou, could enter such a place?
Of course, what he didn't expect was still to come, just when he was pulling Qin Hao to prepare to enter the drunken Red Mansion, he was stopped by two turtle men who were neither yin nor yang.
One of them said with a smile: "Two masters, I'm really embarrassed, today's drunken red mansion was packed, if you want to patronize, please be early tomorrow!" ”
"Wrapped? Who did it? Lai Baye looked a little surprised, obviously not believing the words of this turtle master.
"I got it!"
As soon as Lai Baye's words fell, Tian Xiaoqian appeared at the door like a swallow again, her eyes were not staring at Lai Baye, but at Qin Hao, and said sarcastically, "This place doesn't seem to ask men and women, and those who have money are masters!" ”
Tian Xiaoqian's trick is indeed ruthless enough, of course, this also shows a truth, being rich is capricious!
Lai Baye really didn't expect Tian Xiaoqian to make this move, turned around, looked at Qin Hao helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qin Hao, look at this ......"
Qin Hao spread his hands slightly, and sighed: "It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, and the poor do not fight with the rich, it seems that this drunken red mansion today will not be able to enter, it is better to do this, how about we go to Penglai Pavilion to drink?" ”
Whether it is the past or the future, the people who can open the green house, whether it is the underworld or the white road, more or less have some relationship, although Lai Baye is a bit of a scoundrel, but the essence of the scoundrel is to bully the soft and fear the hard, so he can't afford to provoke this drunken red mansion.
However, Penglai Pavilion is its own territory, where he can walk sideways like a crab, and he can climb sideways, so he naturally agrees with Qin Hao's proposal.
Moreover, whether it is to go to the drunken Red Mansion or to Penglai Pavilion, it is Qin Hao who treats him, since he is the one who treats him, then he will not eat the right one, only eat the expensive one, and it is best to eat this kid bankrupt.
The food is a good dish, but the wine is not a good wine, at least in Qin Hao's eyes, these wines are not good wines, they have no taste at all, and in terms of alcohol content, they are not much higher than the current beer.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, this kind of undistilled low-alcohol wine is similar to drinking beer for Qin Hao, but for Lai Baye, who loves to drink, this wine is really good wine, and he is a little dizzy after a few drinks.
Qin Hao saw that the time was almost up, and deliberately said to Lai Ba with the strength of wine: "Lai Baye, Hao has always wanted to ask you a question, how much can you collect in Penglai Pavilion a day?" ”
Lai Baye was drinking, and did not directly answer Qin Hao's question, but stretched out three fingers and dangled in front of Qin Hao, and said for a long time: "The daily income is only three yuan, but my brother can only stay for three hundred yuan." ”
"Three hundred wen?" Qin Hao pretended to be shocked and said, "I heard you right, right? Listening to Lai Baye's meaning, could it be that most of the money was handed over to the Miao village owner on Shamen Island? ”
"Of course!" Lai Baye's expression looked a little gloomy and helpless, and he continued for a long time, "The master of Miao Village is like a brother, he wants to feed those prisoners, no wonder he!" ”
"Lai Baye is extremely right!" Qin Hao picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then echoed, "It's just that Lai Baye collects those small merchants and hawkers who are also bitter, how can it be the end?" ”
Speaking of this, Fu set his eyes in the direction of the Drunken Red Mansion and sighed softly, "I heard that Lai Baye is a frequent visitor to the Drunken Red Mansion, have you ever seen that peerless beauty Liu Xiang'er?" ”
"Brother Qin Hao is really joking, thinking that Liu Xiang'er is overwhelmed by the city and the country, how can a mortal man like Lai Ba see it? What Lai Ba can see is just a vulgar powder like spring peach and autumn red! ”
Hearing Qin Hao mention Liu Xiang'er, Lai Baye sighed there while swallowing his saliva.
Qin Hao put the wine glass back on the table and sighed: "I heard that this Liu Xiang'er has been masked with a light veil for many years, and it is not worth three hundred taels of silver, if it is calculated based on the daily income of Lai Baye, he must not eat or drink for a thousand years before he can unveil his veil, is this in response to the sentence that a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be slept together?" ”
"Even if you can't sleep together for a thousand years, that Liu Xiang'er is a performer who doesn't sell her body, a rough person like me Lai Ba, can be accompanied by spring flowers and autumn red, this life is enough, I can only hate that Tian Xiaoqian, relying on my own money......"
Speaking of this, Lai Baye is really depressed, his heart is like a thorn in the heart, he is poor and short-sighted, and he can't help it?
"What's so great about being rich, maybe I, Qin Hao, will be richer than her one day!" Speaking of this, Qin Hao suddenly lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious, "Eighth Master Lai, do you want to know why Qin Hao doesn't study?" ”
"Don't say it, my brother really wants to know, in the entire Dengzhou Mansion, who doesn't know that your studies are among the best?" The heart of curiosity has existed since ancient times, and Qin Hao's withdrawal from school has long become a topic of conversation on the streets, and Lai Baye really wants to know.
"Alas!"
Qin Hao sighed softly, and said helplessly, "The situation of Qin Hao's family, Lai Baye must also know, although the scientific examination is beautiful, it can't be achieved overnight, Qin Hao can't let the whole family suffer because of his own selfishness, right?" ”
"This seems to be reasonable, but ......" Although Lai Ba is a scoundrel, his brain is not stupid, and he immediately doubted, "However, with your meager income from storytelling in Penglai Pavilion, you can't support the entire Qin family?" ”
"Of course!" Qin Hao first affirmed Lai Baye's words, and then changed his words and continued, "It's not a secret, before Qin Hao dropped out of school, he had made an appointment with a friend in the capital and wanted to go to the north to do some horse business. ”
"Horse business? The horses in the north are all good horses, and a horse costs almost thirty times, Brother Qin Hao, where did you get the money? Regarding Qin Hao's words, Lai Baye expressed disbelief.
"Of course I don't have any money, Qin Hao accompanied them to the north this time, just to be a guide and take a commission from it, and my friend also said that if he can do a business of thousands of horses this time, his commission with me will not be lower than this amount!"
When Qin Hao said this, he opened his right hand and stretched out his five fingers, turning them around.
"Five hundred? So much? Lai Baye almost screamed, and it took a long time to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Qin Hao, who is that friend of yours?" ”
"Zhao Liangsi!" Qin Hao said without thinking.
