Chapter Ninety-Four: The Two Brothers Have a Stunt

Song Jinggong thought of some things that he hadn't paid attention to before, after all, he was busy with too many things, and the old man guarding the fire didn't say much.

nodded, walked to the side of the two people, and called them up, the two people were already frozen and confused, and it was warmer to sleep together, plus there was a fire, and they were woken up at this time, and looked at the old man suspiciously, thinking that the old man wanted to drive the two of them away.

The two of them sighed at the same time, they came all the way, encountered too many such things, stood up, and were about to leave, who knew that the old man pulled them again, and said to the two: "Song Gongzi invited us to eat, have a good activity, and we can eat in a while." ”

"Eat?" The two of them were stunned at the same time, they really didn't expect to encounter such a thing, thinking that they were dreaming, looking at the old man blankly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Song Jinggong sighed, walked over to the two of them and said, "Did you want to find something to do here?" ”

The two of them saw a man dressed in satin clothes talking to them, and nodded together, but they didn't know how to answer, and they couldn't react at all when they encountered such a thing when they were called up in a daze.

"What do you do? Forget it, let's not talk about this matter first, eat first, and it's not too late to talk slowly after eating. "Song Jinggong just wants to arrange something for two people to do, he can't arrange the position of the manager directly, it's no problem to do some hard work or something, if the two people have a skill, it will be better.

The two of them were so confused that they did it on a table that had been temporarily erected next to it, and the things on the table had never been seen before, it should be a large basin standing there, with a lid on it, and a hole in the middle of the lid, and the bottom was also connected, and there was a charcoal fire in it, and the water in the pot kept tumbling.

The old man who was guarding this place had eaten such a thing, and it was the county magistrate who asked them to eat with them last year, knowing that this was called hot pot, and said to the two stupid people:

"Hurry up and sit down and eat, you have met a nobleman, otherwise, you can only be next to the fire for a night, I can't help you anything, this thing is called hot pot, it's delicious, but ordinary people usually can't eat it, but our Sanshui County is stronger."

"Thank you, uncle, in fact, you have taken very good care of us, giving us two tea eggs, I have never eaten such delicious tea eggs in my life, and hot water, otherwise my brother and I would have starved to death, along the way, we have not eaten for three days.

There were also people in the pavilion I met before, but my brother and I didn't dare to go over, for fear that those individuals would be driven away, but I didn't expect to go to the old man, the old man actually gave us so many things, the old man, I and my brother wrote down this kindness, and we will definitely repay the old man if we have the opportunity in the future. ”

One of the two men spoke at this time, and what he meant was that he had taken his brother out to find something to do.

The old man smiled, didn't care at all, and said to the two people, "You guys are from Huayuan County, right?" In fact, since you came from that side, you should go to the pavilion to see, all the pavilions have people, and they will help you, this is the rule here, you can't watch people freeze to death and starve to death. ”

Only then did the two of them know that this place was different from other places, and it was indeed as the old man said, they already knew that the pavilion they were passing by in front of them could help them, so why did they have to be hungry for three days in a row, and Venus appeared in front of their hungry eyes?

"Thank you Uncle for your advice, if you encounter something like this in the future, my brother and I will be able to survive, uncle, dare to ask who this person is?" When the elder brother does not expect the younger brother to speak, the younger brother is a little Muna, and he alone asks questions.

When he asked, he was also thinking in his heart, this is really a good person today, not only to the pavilion there is a fire, there are tea eggs and hot water, even a random person has to invite them to eat this thing called hot pot.

The old man was startled when he saw this kid pointing directly at Song Jinggong with his hand, and hurriedly knocked the young man's hand down, and said: "You can't point to Song Gongzi and talk like this, this is a noble man who controls how many people live, without him, the people here will not have a good life." ”

Song Jinggong didn't care at all, and said to the two people: "It's okay, hurry up and eat, and then let someone find clothes for you to wear, rest assured, there has been no such thing as freezing to death and starving people in Sanshui County and Huayuan County, and I don't know where you came from, and you have suffered a lot of sins along the way, right?" It's good to be here, I have something for you to do. ”

Song Jinggong didn't mention the things along the way, it was better, as soon as he mentioned this, the eyes of the two people turned red, and the younger brother still didn't say anything, and the elder brother said: "This nobleman, as you said, my brother and I came all the way to find something to do, but the autumn harvest here has long ended, and there are a lot of idle people, and there is no need for me and my brother in those places."

My brother and I walked all the way here along the river from the capital, and we didn't know that those small pavilions were built specifically to help others, and if we had known, we wouldn't have been hungry for three days, and my brother and I would have died of hunger at any time.

I wonder if this noble man can tell me and my brother why such pavilions are not built in other places, only in Huayuan County and Sanshui County? ”

When the elder brother was indeed very puzzled, he never imagined that this place would be so magical, and he actually built a pavilion to help others, and the younger brother was also very curious, looking at Song Jinggong, hoping that he could tell him why.

Without waiting for Song Jinggong to speak, Ma Dashan, one of the three people who had already sat down, said, "You don't know this, right?" Huayuan County and Sanshui County are rich, and they are also the territory of the Zhang family, they do not allow anyone to starve to death or freeze to death in their place, even if they fall into the water and want to drown.

That's why they built these pavilions with some of the money they earned from trading, so you don't have to worry about anything when you get here, aren't you just looking for a job to do? There's a lot of work to be done here, and if the two of you know how to do something, that's even better, because you'll get a lot more paid than you do with hard work. ”

The two of them were very surprised when they heard this, they really didn't know who the Zhang family was, and they didn't know why the Zhang family was able to do this, this is really a good person.

When the elder brother continued: "I don't know where the Zhang family is, I want to go over and thank my brother in person, after all, it is because they built the pavilion that my brother and I were not starved to death, and this great favor will be repaid for everything." ”

Hu Liang opened his mouth at this time and said: "The people of the Zhang family went to Lingnan, I heard that this is the case, the people there are blessed now, where the people of the Zhang family go, where they have a good life, remember, in these two places, and even in other counties in Yaozhou, don't say bad things about the Zhang family in Sanshui, that is a very dangerous thing."

If the people in these places hear you say bad things about the Sanshui Zhang family, they can bite you to death one by one, don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you can shout it now and see what the consequences will be? ”

Hu Liang's words startled these two people again, they immediately understood the truth in this, it seems that the Zhang family is deeply popular with the people here, otherwise there would not be such a statement.

The two of them are now stable, since the local people, as well as the people of Yaozhou, can protect the Zhang family like this, it means that this place is really good, at least the Zhang family is good to the people.

Song Jinggong saw that the two of them kept asking and asking, and they didn't sit down to eat, so they had to press the two people down personally, and said to the two people: "Eat first, someone will send the cotton clothes over in a while, and then you don't have to worry about being frozen to death, and you want to know what to say while eating."

I am the person in charge of the Zhang family here, it is very easy to arrange some things for you, don't worry about the future, come and try this sauerkraut. ”

Song Jinggong said and sandwiched some dishes for the two of them, and when he saw the two of them eating, he also ate them.

Other people are also not polite, especially the old man who is guarding the pavilion, he doesn't care about Song Jinggong's status at all, he only knows that the people of the Zhang family are good, even if the master of the Zhang family sees him, he will invite him to eat something together, and he has met and spoken to him before.

The two brothers are indeed hungry, even if they have eaten two tea eggs and drunk so much water just now, the two of them do not feel full now, and even save the time to shabu, especially the tofu, which is stuffed into the mouth with a large piece.

Song Jinggong wanted to eat slowly, chatting with a few people at the same time, seeing that the two of them were hungry like this, while asking him to pay attention to not getting hot, he kept putting food into the pot, and he basically didn't eat it himself, and the two brothers ate some of the dishes when they went in.

In the end, there was no way, even Ma Dashan stopped, and specially put vegetables in the pot for the two people, and the two of them lowered their heads and ate violently, thanking them while eating, not to mention that the two of them are hungry now, even if they are not hungry, they can eat a lot of such a delicious hot pot for the first time.

It wasn't until Song Jinggong saw that the two of them showed signs of holding on and shouted to stop the two of them, that the two of them let out a sigh of relief, touching their stomachs and feeling the happiness of having a full meal there.

"Okay, now tell me, where did you two come from? Why did you go so far, and what would both of you do? Song Jinggong saw that the two of them stopped, and he ate some mutton by himself, so he asked the two of them.

The younger brother is still silent, but the elder brother is easy to speak, answer questions and answer, and say to Song Jinggong: "My younger brother and I are from the north, not from the north, but later the family was born from there, this year there is a big drought over there, the harvest of barley is too small, and the food at home is not enough to eat, my brother and I usually eat more, and I feel that we can't stay at home."

Otherwise, not only my brother and I would starve to death, but the rest of the family would also starve to death, so I discussed it with my brother, walked a long way from there, and then took a boat to the capital, where things were too expensive, and the little money my brother had on him couldn't buy anything at all.

I wanted to find something to do, but it turned out that the general recruitment place there must have a household registration, otherwise they would not dare to accept it, and my younger brother and I went to get any household registration, so we walked all the way to this side, and found a few places on the road, and no one wanted us. ”

When my brother finished saying this, he didn't seem to feel too sad, it seemed that they should have experienced a lot of such things along the way.

Song Jinggong listened and ate at the same time, just now he was just sandwiching things for others, and he was hungry, so he didn't care about being polite or impolite, and when he heard the words of this elder brother, he nodded and motioned for him to continue.

When the elder brother immediately continued: "My brother and I have the strength to do hard work, as long as we are fed, let us survive this winter, then my brother and I can not pay anything, my brother and I eat a lot, it costs a lot of money." ”

"Any craftsmanship?" Song Jinggong put a piece of duck blood in his mouth and asked in a confused voice.

"Craft? No, my brother and I don't know how to do carpentry work, we don't know how to work as stonemasons, and I wonder if raising eagles and dogs counts as crafts? I will raise eagles, and my younger brother will raise dogs, especially my brother's dogs, but I am obedient and let me do whatever I want, but unfortunately the dog will already starve to death when it comes out, and I will also release the eagle and let it find something to eat by itself. ”

When my brother heard that it was a craft, he felt embarrassed, so he had to tell two things that he didn't think were crafts.

Song Jinggong went to pick tofu there, and when he heard this brother's words, the tofu on the chopsticks suddenly fell, and he asked in disbelief: "You said you can raise eagles?" It's the kind of big eagle that can soar in the sky, so big. ”

Song Jinggong measured it with his hand as he spoke, that is, he opened his arms and opened them as wide as possible.

"It's going to raise eagles, but there is no such a big eagle, unless you open your wings, it's bigger than this, after putting away your wings, it's smaller than a sheep, and it's not as heavy as a sheep, if you can meet such a big eagle as you said, then if I really feed it, how can I not find something to eat, such a big eagle, it is estimated that even a cow can be caught, and you don't have to be afraid of a bear."

When the elder brother saw the size of Song Jinggong's comparison, he shook his head vigorously, he had raised eagles, knew the size of eagles, don't look at the eagle to catch a goat very easily, it is not that it is bigger than a goat, it is stronger than a goat, if there is really Song Jinggong to measure such a big eagle, then he is powerful.

Seeing that Song Jinggong had compared, he asked in a low voice, "Have you ever seen such a big eagle?" ”

Song Jinggong's face flushed, he hadn't seen how big the eagle was, just counting the wings, only to know after listening to people's explanations that the eagle was not so big when he put away his wings, he smiled and said: "No, I haven't seen it, ask if you have seen it, that you really know how to raise eagles, let the eagle do what the eagle can do?" ”

When the elder brother nodded, Song Jinggong asked the younger brother again, "You really raised the dog, let it do whatever it wants, and it will listen." ”

The younger brother still didn't speak, but nodded like the elder brother.

"Great, okay, you two stay, find a way to get the eagle and dog you can raise, you can do things for the Zhang family in the future, and sign a deed when the time comes, and you can have at least five yuan a month in the future, how about it?"

Of course, Song Jinggong knows how much effect these two people's skills will have on the Zhang family, especially this ability can be learned, he believes that the little boy and the little lady have absolutely no problem learning this, especially the little lady, who always said that she wanted to raise a dog before, and I don't know if she has found a dog that can be raised now.

If I really get these two brothers to work elsewhere, the little boy and the little lady will know, then it will be amazing, well, stay, say whatever you want.

The two of them naturally know how much money is five, and if there is five-run money, the two of them don't have to come out to find things, enough for their family to spend this winter over there, and there will be a lot left.

And this is only a month's salary for one of the two of them, which makes the two of them feel like they are dreaming again, otherwise, how can there be such a good thing? Two people are ten times a month.

The elder brother and the younger brother glanced at each other, and then the younger brother finally spoke, but instead of talking to Song Jinggong and the others, he leaned into the elder brother's ear and muttered a few words, when the elder brother nodded, he said to Song Jinggong:

"Nobleman, is that five times really money for me and my brother? I can only raise two eagles, and my brother can only raise six dogs, otherwise, the money will not be enough. ”

When the elder brother said this, the younger brother nodded there, and it seemed that the two of them had calculated the amount of food for two eagles and six dogs.

Song Jinggong did smile and said: "It seems that the dogs you raise also need to eat meat, okay, the dogs that eat meat are good, such dogs can help do a lot of things, the eagle is naturally needless to say, you must eat raw meat, rest assured, this money is not the money for the eagle and the dog to eat, the five money is your salary, the meat of the eagle and the dog, we take care of it, can we raise more?" ”

Song Jinggong heard people say that the usual eagle keepers can rarely raise more, generally just one, I don't know if it is the loyal relationship of the eagle, or the reason for the eagle keeper's ability, but now this brother can raise more eagles, then let him raise more, it is best to raise him hundreds of eagles, when there is something, these eagles rush over together, who is not afraid?

The two brothers were stunned at this time, what they encountered today always seemed to be incomprehensible, not only the two of them were stunned, but even the three people of Nama Dashan were also very surprised, one person is five times a month, this is really too much, how many people can't save five times a year.

It seems that this is different, one can raise eagles, the other can raise dogs, two people can save ten yuan a month, yes, that is, they save it, the meat eaten by the eagle and the dog is not in their care, how can the Zhang family still have to poor the food of the two of them, the Zhang family has always been comfortable, even the people who work can eat meat dishes, not to mention the two people who are fancied.

Song Jinggong saw that the two of them didn't speak, so he asked again, "Can you raise more eagles, and dogs too." ”

"Yes." Now it was the younger brother and the elder brother who were talking at the same time.

The elder brother glanced at the younger brother and said, "As long as you arrange some individuals for us at that time, we can get more eagles and dogs, and the people who arrange them must not be too bad, otherwise, if one is not good, you can be injured, and the eagle is not so easy to catch." ”

"Okay, don't worry about the people who arrange it, I will write to the prince in a while, and ask the prince to send out a hundred guards from the palace, and listen to the command of the two of you when the time comes, but the prince may be able to ask for one or two eagles, but there is no way, who will let the guards at home not be there."

As soon as Song Jinggong heard that he was looking for someone, the first thing he thought of was the guards of the palace, and he had been dealing with the palace a lot these days, especially the dock and the shipyard, which made him have to run to the palace again and again.

The two brothers were shocked again, and the elder brother's voice trembled a little and asked, "Nobleman, do you know someone from the palace?" Isn't that just for you to arrange an official, and you belong to the Zhang family, so there should be someone in the Zhang family who is an official, right? Then will we be eunuchs in the future? Great, let's see who dares to bully us, nobleman, does the official of your main family have this county order? ”

"Hahahaha~!" The old man who was watching the pavilion laughed loudly, and the other people around him who heard it also laughed, and the two brothers who laughed were inexplicable.

After a while, the old man stopped laughing and said to the two of them: "What is the county order, the master of the Zhang family is a four-grade Dayuan, wearing a red official uniform, he is a state assassin, and he is in charge of many county orders, and he is also a champion, he is not yet thirty years old this year, waiting over there to let the people over there live a good life, then he will continue to rise, how about it?" You don't have to be afraid of such a master, right? ”

"Huh? History of thorns? There are several county magistrates under his command? Not yet thirty years old, from a champion background, oh my God, how can you be so powerful? But when the senior official goes to another place, can he still control the county order here? I'm raising eagles here, and I'll make a lot of people worry about it. ”

When my brother really knows a lot of things, he suddenly understands how powerful the person he will follow in the future is, such a young man is such a big official, and he will be able to pay it back in a few years, but he is worried about the county order here.

Hearing his words, the people around laughed again, and the old man smiled and said to the two people: "To tell you the truth, whoever is here to be the county commander must be nodded by the master of the Zhang family, and if the master of the Zhang family does not nod, then don't think about it." ”
