Chapter Twenty-Eight: Moving
Tang Xu kept the man and lived in the inn for several days, spending a lot of extra money for room and food in vain, Wang Dali was not very embarrassed and it was not good to say in front of Tang Xu. It's just that with the passage of time, Tang Xu's number www.biquge.info of needles has become less and the time has become shorter, and the person really hasn't been addicted to tea anymore, and the whole person has gained a lot of weight. And that person had dealt with Tang Xu and them a lot, and gradually let down his guard, saying that his name was Xu Shijie, and he was originally doing small business, and he also said a lot of things about that kind of strange tea.
"You mean, most of the people in the city are drinking that kind of tea right now?" Tang Xu secretly calculated, this is an incredible number.
"Yes, it was sold very cheaply at the beginning, and when it was delicious, the price was increased, and many people couldn't afford to raise this tea by smashing the pot and selling iron, and in the end they could only be dragged to death." Xu Shijie regretted that he took it lightly at the beginning, and he couldn't get rid of it later.
"Thanks to you, Tang Gongzi, you are my reborn parents. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my life would be gone. Xu Shijie said that he was sad, and he knelt down for Tang Xu.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Tang Xu hurriedly helped him up. Wang Dali was originally quite unhappy that Xu Shijie lived for nothing, but seeing that he was so grateful for Tang Xu's kindness, his anger also disappeared by half.
"Do you know where that tea comes from?" Tang Xu asked again.
"I don't know this, the shopkeeper of the tea shop is also mysterious, no one has seen it, and the checkout and purchase are all taken care of by a steward called Qian Clerical." Xu Shijie replied.
Tang Xu wanted to ask again, but at this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and Wang Dali went out to see that it was the shopkeeper of the inn Xia.
"Shopkeeper, why are you here?" Tang Xu greeted him with a smile, thinking that this person was eighty percent here to ask for room money.
"Tang Gongzi, it's the end of the month now, how about we calculate the recent room bills and meals?" The shopkeeper did not hide it, and went straight to the point, saying that he sat down at the table and set out two bright abacus.
"Shopkeeper, you see that our owner is talking to someone, can you?" Wang Dali knew that Tang Xu didn't have much money, and in front of outsiders, he was afraid that Tang Xu would not be able to come to the stage.
"Dali, it's okay, just let the shopkeeper calculate, it's clear, the shopkeeper is not at ease, isn't it?" Tang Xu is under a lot of psychological pressure, but he can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school, if he really has no money, he has to find his own way.
"Tang Gongzi is a cheerful person, then I will count it." The shopkeeper moved the abacus beads, and there were words in his mouth. The last room is 100 yuan a day, including two meals, and 20 yuan for a supper, the last room money was paid to the 27th of last month, and now it is a full 30 days, except for the beginning and end of the zero, a total of 10,000 yuan.
"Okay, I'll give you the money later." Tang Xu's brain was knocked by the thunderbolt abacus beads, but fortunately, the final number was not particularly huge, and it was still possible to deal with it together.
"Shopkeeper, I have a jade pendant here, can you see if it may be worth the money and food?" Xu Shijie took off a jade pendant from his waist, and the shopkeeper hurriedly took it and looked at it, and even said that it was okay, and then he wanted to put it in his arms.
"Wait!" Tang Xu was in a hurry, how could this house money be worth a piece of jade pendant, and the shopkeeper obviously got a big bargain. Hurriedly called the shopkeeper, stuffed the money on his body to him, and took back the jade pendant. The shopkeeper pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything, and after thanking Tang Xu, he turned around and went out.
"It's a valuable thing, how can it be taken out so easily." Tang Xu returned the jade pendant to Xu Shijie, if he accepted it, he would really take advantage of others.
"This thing is sewn in my middle coat, fortunately, I didn't give it to people indiscriminately when I lost my heart and went crazy, and now it can come in handy, Tang Gongzi is as kind to me as a mountain, where can this little jade pendant be repaid." Xu Shijie didn't take the jade pendant, so he had to give it to Tang Xu.
"I can't do it, I really can't do it." Tang Xu said that he didn't want anything, and Wang Dali and Lan Jun didn't speak on the side.
"Well, it's too expensive to live here, and there are a lot of people coming and going, and it's too noisy. My uncle has a small house in the city, but in the early years, my uncle's family moved away, and the house has been empty. Xu Shijie thought of another idea.
"We lived, where are you going to live, Brother Xu?" Tang Xu really wanted to go, after all, he didn't spend money, but he felt that he owed a little bit of a favor, so he was embarrassed.
"Haha, don't worry, Tang Gongzi, it's my uncle's house, I naturally don't live there, I also have a family and a room, and I fell in love with that ghost thing a while ago, and I hurt my wife and children, so I was kicked out by my family and ended up in such a miserable situation. Now that Tang Gongzi has rescued me from the sea of suffering, if my family knows about it, they will definitely be hospitable. Xu Shijie said.
"Since Brother Xu is so gracious, Tang Gongzi doesn't have to push back again and again, it's better to go and see it first." Lan Jun saw Tang Xu's thoughts, and he was afraid of face, so he stepped forward to be a middleman.
"So good! Just listen to this little brother. Xu Shijie laughed, and Tang Xu agreed. As soon as they said go, the group packed their luggage and belongings, and drove the carriage to Uncle Xu Shijie's house.
When he arrived at the place, Tang Xu found that this is a small house, much larger than He Xiaochuan's house, although there is no typical three-in and three-out pattern in classical Chinese architecture, it is also a two-entry small courtyard, several main houses, halls, bedrooms, etc., and even exquisite small gardens and ponds.
"This..." It's just a mansion, Tang Xu retreated in his heart, can this place really be lived?
"The house has been old for a long time, and it is a little dilapidated, Tang Gongzi should not dislike it, let's live there first." Xu Shijie took Tang Xu and others to inspect the entire mansion one by one.
"Brother Xu, I really owe you too much for this favor." Tang Xu sighed again and again.
"Don't say that, this house, my uncle moved away and entrusted me to take care of it, and I don't have a title deed, otherwise I might be defeated." Xu Shijie looked at the house, his eyes were a little red.
"Tang Gongzi, you not only saved my life, but also saved the foundation of my old Xu family, this house is for you to live in, my Xu Shijie is comfortable." Xu Shijie continued.
"Brother Xu said so, then I will be disrespectful." Tang Xu was very moved, and bowed deeply to Xu Shijie, Xu Shijie hurriedly helped him up, and couldn't even say anything.
Wang Dali drove the carriage into the yard, Lan Jun helped unload the things inside, Xu Shijie took advantage of the time to go home and called his wife and children to help Tang Xu tidy up the room, everyone was busy inside and out all day, and Tang Xu also spent the whole day in cramped and uneasy. In the evening, Xu Shijie's old father also set up a banquet at home and invited Tang Xu and the three of them, and Tang Xu drank a lot of wine for the first time. When the moon hung high in the air, Tang Xu was helped back home by Wang Dali and Lan Jun.
Tang Xu asked the two of them to go back to sleep, and he just fell back and walked into the yard, such a big yard, Tang Xu never dreamed that he would be able to live here one day. Tang Xu's legs were weak, and he was lying in the middle of the courtyard on all fours, feeling very calm. I don't know why, since he came to this world, Tang Xu's heart is always warm, no matter where he goes, even when he is alone, he knows that someone cares about him, just like at this moment.
Kindness? Did Wang Dali and Lan Jun both sleep? Tang Xu suddenly gossiped and wanted to see what the two of them were doing. So he got up from the ground and tried his best to sneak towards Wang Dali and Lan Jun's room with as steady steps as possible. He went to Lan Jun's house first, there was no light, it was dark inside, and he slept? Tang Xu wanted to learn the technique of poking a hole in the window paper in the TV series, but in the end he held back, how embarrassing it would be to get up tomorrow morning and be discovered.
Let's go to Wang Dali's place again, Tang Xu went to Wang Dali's side, but he was a little weak as he walked, and he didn't know what he was looking forward to seeing? Still don't want to see something.
"What have you been thinking about all day, you pig." Tang Xu secretly scolded himself, but he continued to walk. It was a short journey that seemed like a long walk, and when I got to the window, the lights were still on. Tang Xu chuckled in his heart, what are you doing if you don't sleep so late? Tang Xu wanted to restrain the careful thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to see it.
"The owner?" But before Tang Xu had taken a few steps, Wang Dali opened the door, the light was very bright, Tang Xu had almost seen everything in the house at a glance, and Lan Jun was really not inside. Really? A string in Tang Xu's heart suddenly loosened, and for a moment, he didn't understand why he was here, why he cared about what the two men were doing, it seemed that he was really drunk, hehe.
"It's okay, I just want to get out and walk." Tang Xu smiled at Wang Dali.
"It's so late, I'll send you back to rest." Wang Dali walked over quickly.
"I'm sober." Tang Xu took a few steps to show Wang Dali to show that he was normal, but he didn't know that these actions seemed to be abnormal.
"Boss, let's go back." Wang Dali smiled helplessly, and despite Tang Xu's stopping, he still reached out to help.
"Don't!" Tang Xu was suddenly a little coquettish, as if he had become a little sheep again.
"The owner." Wang Dali concluded that Tang Xu was really drunk, and he was a big man who couldn't accompany him to twist, so he simply bent down and carried him up and walked into his room.
Wang Dali walked forward quickly, but he didn't notice passing by Lan Jun who was holding the hot soup, Lan Jun saw Wang Dali's departing back and Tang Xu on his back, slowly stopped, sighed softly, and turned back to the room.
