Chapter 114: Yicuilou Xiaolan
Zhang San obtained this information through monkey inquiries and Lin Chong's chat analysis. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info people like this are most afraid of being disrespected, so Zhang San has been by his side, chatting with him about some messy things, and gradually Shi Wengong's words have increased.
Lin Chong taught equestrianism for an afternoon, Shi Wengong taught martial arts for an afternoon, and everyone saw him fight against Wang Jin last time, so they didn't have the slightest doubt about his guidance, and they all respected him and listened to his teachings seriously.
In the evening, in order to thank the two, everyone had a meal together, Zhang San and others frequently toasted them at the dinner table, and the relationship between everyone became more and more harmonious. Zhang San is of course very supportive.
After eating, Li Si came back and told Zhang San that all the stalls had been selected, the cargo ship had been rented, and they could be sent one by one early tomorrow morning, and the licorice had also been bought, and it would be distributed one by one tomorrow. Zhang San nodded and patted Li Side on the shoulder and said, "Brother has worked hard recently. ”
Li Si smiled and didn't say anything, Zhang San continued: "The next step is to build such a Zhuangzi in the upper reaches of the Bianhe River, so that it is convenient to transport briquettes. When the time comes, I want you to manage the operations over there. ”
Li Si nodded and said, "Okay, third brother." ”
Looking at the back of Li Si going out, Zhang San felt that his brother was really good, honest and capable, but he had been living alone and there was one less person to talk to, Zhang San suddenly remembered that Li Si seemed to have a good name for Xiaolan, and Zhang San immediately went to find the monkey.
When he found the monkey, he was practicing sticks in the front yard, and Zhang San went over to call him: "Monkey, come over for a while, I have something to ask you." ”
The monkey heard Zhang San's voice, stopped the stick and said, "Okay, third brother." ”
Seeing the monkey walking up, Zhang San asked, "Do you know what kind of person the fourth brother Xiaolan is?" ”
The monkey said strangely: "The third brother is talking about the little Lan girl in Yicuilou?" ”
Zhang San nodded and said, "Well, it's her, last time your fourth brother said that he wanted to save money to redeem her, do you understand?" ”
The monkey said: "I know, Xiaolan is a good girl, singing in Yicui Building. ”
Zhang San asked strangely: "Is it really a showman?" ”
The monkey nodded and said, "This is natural, I have been with the fourth brother many times. ”
Zhang San asked again: "Then you can tell me more carefully." ”
Zhang San took the monkey to the front hall, and after the two sat down, the monkey began to say: "This little Lan girl has been living on the streets of Tokyo since she was a child, and the old bustard of Yicuilou saw that she had a good voice, so she adopted her, trained her carefully, and was originally going to pick up customers at the age of fifteen." Fortunately, Miss Xiaolan has had a strange disease since she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and she has a lot of thick sores on her face, and the bustard can't cure it with money, so she has to cover her face and sing lyrics to earn money. ”
The monkey whispered to Zhang San: "Actually, Xiaolan is afraid that the bustard will let her pick up customers, so she throws out the medicine every time." It's not curable. ”
Zhang San nodded, saying that this girl is really good, Zhang San then asked, "And then?" ”
The monkey said strangely, "No, huh?" ”
Zhang San rolled his eyes and asked, "I mean, how did you meet your fourth brother?" ”
The monkey said: "Oh, once the fourth brother went to deliver food to Yicuilou, and it was pitiful to see that she was beaten there, so I chatted with her for a few words, but because of her face, she couldn't get a job, and she was scolded by the old bustard for being a waste and beaten." Then the fourth brother took pity on her, and the next day he specially scraped together some money to listen to her sing and reward her. In the future, the fourth brother saved money and often went to listen to her sing and chat, and after a long time, he became acquainted. ”
Zhang Sanqi's face turned white, if Li Si was here, he would definitely point at his nose and scold: "Are you stupid, are you stupid!" You're rich! "Zhang San has nothing to say about such a stupid shortage, if he likes it, he will find a way to marry back, and what is it to send money to the bustard every day?
Zhang San stood up and turned around twice and asked, "How much do you estimate it will cost her to redeem herself?" ”
The monkey thought about it and said, "At most, five hundred, maybe two or three hundred." ”
Zhang San asked strangely, "So cheap?" ”
The monkey said: "The main thing is that she doesn't make any money, so the bustard treats her very badly." ”
Zhang San nodded and asked, "Does the old bustard know us?" ”
The monkey shook his head and said, "I shouldn't know, the fourth brother goes by himself every time, and the fourth brother has a piece of clothing that he has always bought with money, and he only wears it when he goes, and he doesn't let us follow." Only I have been there a few times with my fourth brother to deliver food. ”
Zhang San shook his head and said secretly in his heart, isn't this guy just going to charge a lot of money? What kind of psychology is this, since you don't know each other, it's easy to do, Zhang San called Yang Tai, Zhang Yuanba, Liu Yun and Lehe to withdraw two hundred taels of silver and one hundred copper coins and go to the city to kill.
Li Si heard the movement and came out to ask where he was going, Zhang San smiled and said, "Go see the head of the Wang sect." Li Si nodded and didn't say anything.
Zhang San led a group of people into the city gate and asked the monkey: "Monkey, where is there a small market selling antiquities in this capital?" ”
The monkey nodded and said, "Third brother come with me." ”
The monkey took the crowd around for a while, came to an alley, could not see anything from the outside, walked in only to see some vendors on both sides of the alley spread a piece of cloth in front of them, an oil lamp did not speak, did not shout, the person who bought it also walked around to see, asked the price when he was in the picture, and put down the things if he did not match.
The monkey said: "Third brother, this is the ghost market in Beicheng, and you can find antiquities from the previous dynasty." ”
Zhang San said to Yang Tai and the others: "I want to find a broken porcelain or jade, preferably a newly broken one, everyone will look for it." ”
Although everyone didn't understand what Zhang San was going to do, they all understood what Zhang San meant, and everyone began to go to each stall to see. After a while, Liu Yun came to Zhang San and said, "Third brother, there is one here." ”
Zhang San walked over and saw that it was a porcelain pot with a broken mouth, and Zhang San shook his head. Liu Yun went to look for it again, everyone was busy, but it was not easy to find such things. Zhang San first asked everyone to rest at a tea stall on the side.
At this time, the three guests at the adjacent table were hurrying after drinking tea, picking up their bags and leaving, Zhang San heard a breaking sound of hula over there, and then a guy grabbed the gorgeously dressed one of the three people and said, "Hey, you broke my glass bowl." What can I do? ”
Zhang San looked at it with interest, and the monkey approached Zhang San and said, "These outsiders are going to be unlucky." I met the porcelain. ”
Zhang San naturally understood, but he saw that the three guests looked at each other for a while and said with a bad look, and the leader asked: "How much is this bowl worth, we will pay you." ”
The young man listened and said: "Okay, my bowl is a fine product of the Tang Dynasty, the original price is 800 guan, I won't lie to you, you give 500 guan and forget it." ”
When the three merchants heard this, their faces changed greatly, and the leader said angrily: "Bastard, you are a slander, why is the glass bowl so expensive?" ”
The young man was not in a hurry and said: "I am an object from the previous dynasty, you can go around and inquire, if it is not worth the price, I don't want a penny, I think I am unlucky." ”
