Jia Weiran was afraid that others would recognize him, in case he let Zhangjia Zhuangzi know that his father had arrived, it would be difficult to do, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw a person wearing coarse linen clothes and pigskin boots on his feet smiling at himself.

Jia Weiran thought about it carefully, but didn't remember who this person was? Judging from this dress, it was far from his identity, and he asked suspiciously, "...... are you?" ”

"Brother Jia, why don't you remember me? I'm Ma Liu, you really forgot about me, pretending, pretending to be with me, right? Last year, when the five of us were carrying work for others in Luoshui together, didn't you say that you wanted to make money elsewhere, and I and Yang Si and I have been over there, and then we ran here again.

What, made money? Well, see that your clothes are better than mine, don't pretend, no matter what you want money, go, I'll find them all today, let's go to the barbecue point next to the first house in Linshui to roast some radishes to eat, and then order two pieces of stinky tofu, and have a bowl of wine.

You're still stunned, don't you love stinky tofu the most? A piece of stinky tofu can be eaten for half a month, Niu Wu said at that time, good tofu for you to eat, and it became stinky after eating, you, go, I invited. ”

This person who claimed to be Ma Liu came over and wanted to pull Jia Weiran over there, Jia Weiran had never heard of these messy names, it seemed to be related to animals, seeing that this person stretched out his hand that didn't know what he rubbed and couldn't see the color to pull himself, he took two steps back in fright, and said:

"Wait, why don't I remember you? Tell me, what's my name? ”

"They all said that you don't need to take the money, and you still ask back and forth, our brothers were not like this at the beginning, no matter how much money you have, we won't ask for it, doing things at this dock, making a lot of money a day, aren't you surnamed Jia, right?" Ma Liu was a little dissatisfied, withdrew his hand and said.

"yes, then what's my name?" Jia Weiran thinks he has a hypothesis? I don't have any impressions.

Ma Liu's two big hands clapped "That's right, the surname Jia is right, your name is Jia Yi, let's call you a soft-shelled turtle, when you were a child, you and we swam in the river, and a Wang Ba opened his mouth and bit you underneath, you still said it yourself, that Wang Ba is a mother, remember?" ”

"Phew! I don't care what kind of horse you are, stay away from me, I don't know you, you recognize the wrong person. "Jia Weiran is so angry in his heart, when did he swim with someone and be bitten by Wang Ba? With a wide eye in the eye, he walked two quick steps to the place where the pancakes were sold, and looked vigilantly at the man standing there with a puzzled face.

"Hey~! Since Brother Jia doesn't want to recognize each other, then forget it, I really saw the wrong person at the beginning, I went to find Niu Wu, come to someone, prepare the car. The horse shook his head regretfully, and waved back as he spoke, and there were three luxurious carriages over there, each of which was drawn by four horses, and at first glance it was not a carriage or horse.

Jia Weiran looked at the car and stopped beside the person who had just spoken to him, and two people jumped out of the second car, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, saluted respectfully to the man, and after the man got into the car, the three cars left one after another.

Jia Weiran raised his hand, touched his head, and muttered, "It's not hot." ”

"Who said it's not hot, the freshly made pancakes and fruits, you can't buy them, don't block them if you don't buy them, just pay for them, and exchange them for things, faster." The pancake seller seemed to think that his things were not hot, and said something dissatisfied.

Jia Weiran was still confused, took out the money to buy this pancake fruit, and was about to go back, when suddenly a person came over next to him, and when he was about to pass by him, he said in surprise: "Brother Jia, hahahaha, I finally found you, what are you busy these days?" ”

Jia Weiran took a step back again, looked at the person in front of him, he didn't know either, remembered that the last person who carried the work just now left in three luxury carriages, and then looked at the person in front of him wearing light green satin clothes, he didn't dare to slack off for a while, and replied with a smile: "I'm not busy, I'm hungry, buy a pancake fruit to eat, what are you busy with?" ”

He wanted to add a title, but unfortunately he didn't know what this person's last name was.

The man smiled, "Brother Jia, have you been short of money lately?" How do you eat pancake fruit? Let's go, follow me to the first place in the water next to the barbecue restaurant to eat something, I'll give you your favorite stinky tofu, and a few brothers shouted together, you're like that, eat four or five pieces of stinky tofu at a time, and you can't eat if you don't have it, and you usually smell stinky, go. ”

"I've eaten four or five dollars in one meal? Isn't it half a month to eat together? Jia Weiran felt that he was not in the world at this time, and said what the person said before.

The man waved his hand and said, "Could it be that Brother Jia has fallen to such a point now?" A piece of stinky tofu can be eaten for half a month, Brother Jia, you ...... Ay~! Don't worry, brother will find you something to do, but you can't live like this. ”

"What are you looking for to do?" Jia Weiran asked.

"Carrying the work, you see, I took off this clothes, how about it, is it carrying the work? It's good to carry the work, there is a good meal that can be eaten for two or three pennies, what about two meals a day, do you want to go? When the man took off his clothes, he saw that he was shirtless inside, and that there were calluses on his shoulders.

Jia Weiran shook his head: "Don't go." ”

"Really? Okay, you can eat your pancakes, I'm leaving, oops, another boat, Brother Jia, see you another day. The man ran over there as he spoke, taking off his shoes as he ran.

Jia Weiran stood on the ground, holding a pancake fruit in his hand, blinking, not knowing what to do, and after a while he remembered that he was buying something for his father, and when he looked up, there was no one on the place where his father was standing, and when he looked around, he also did not find his father.

He's really stupid this time, what about my father? It was still there just now, and in a panic, Jia Weiran began to look around, ran here to see, and then went there to take a look, but he still couldn't see his father.

"Brother Jia, what are you looking for?" Just when Jia Weiran was in a hurry, a voice sounded behind him.

"Don't lie...... Liar, Brother Zhou, why are you here? "Jia Weiran met now, Zhou Xihu, I thought that someone came to invite him to eat stinky tofu again.

Zhou Xihu looked at Jia Weiran carefully and said, "My home is here, where can I go if I'm not here?" Seeing that Brother Jia looked anxious, could it be that the beautiful woman who was following him was gone? Brother Jia tell me, what does a beautiful woman look like? I'll help find it. ”

Jia Weiran wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, could it be said that he followed his father here to serve in micro-clothes? What do the officials and the Lord Bo and others in the yamen think?

"Brother Jia, can't you tell what he looks like? It's better to go to the first place in Linshui to see, the beauty is hemp, she usually likes to go to that place, and there are many talents. Zhou Xihu continued to persuade, preparing to pull Jia Weiran over there.

"No, it's impossible, I, I'm just hanging out, don't look for someone, Brother Zhou is busy." Jia Weiran didn't dare to say it, so he could only endure the anxiety in his heart perfunctory.

Zhou Xihu didn't force it, and said: "Okay, if Brother Jia has anything here, you can go to the first place in Linshui and let people go to me, but if you can help, I will definitely not shirk it, oh, there is a new fried stinky tofu in the first place in Linshui, Brother Jia has time to try it." ”

After speaking, Zhou Xihu walked away, Jia Weiran was stunned again, why did anyone who saw him have to say stinky tofu?

The father is gone, so naturally he wants to look for it, Jia Weiran began to expand the scope of his search, walked to the place of the yamen, didn't find it all the way, and turned back to the Qianwei Town Water Residence on the other side, but he didn't see it, and turned around and walked to the innermost shop on the other side of the dock, but he couldn't find a shadow either.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, in desperation, Jia Weiran had no choice but to walk towards the first house in Linshui, wanting people to ask Zhou Xihu for help, in case something happened to his father, it would be serious.

"Jia Gongzi, are you here too? Do you want to eat stinky tofu from a restaurant? Mr. Jia, please. The guy who was waiting at the dock to pick up people also said this when he saw Jia Weiran.

Jia Weiran was already numb, walked on the boat, didn't say a word, let the boat carry him to the restaurant, entered the door, kicked up to the second floor, and immediately another guy came over, and said to Jia Weiran: "Jia Gongzi, I haven't seen you here for a long time, the stinky tofu has been prepared for you, and it is in the third place on the third floor." ”

No. 3 on the third floor, Jia Weiran knew that it was the room he always came to some time ago, and while following the guy up, he asked, "How did Zhou Xihu find it?" ”

"Are you looking for Mr. Zhou? Zhou Gongzi is still here, are you in a hurry? The guy asked with concern.

"Well, I'll find someone." Jia Weiran felt a little prostration, and ran for so long.

"Coincidentally, Jia Gongzi is also looking for someone, there is a person here just now, also surnamed Jia, the lord Bo and the county Cheng in the yamen came with him, saying that he was looking for someone, they went to room No. 4 together, the lord Bo and the county Cheng still call him an adult, and I don't know what the official is." The guy said there.

Jia Weiran grabbed the guy, "What did you say?" The lord of the yamen, Bo and the county, is called an adult with the surname Jia? ”

"Yes, doesn't Jia Gongzi know that person? Talk to the little ones. The guy replied excitedly.

"Take me to room four, forget it, I'll go by myself." Jia Weiran ran over there as he spoke.

The guy shouted in the back, "Master Jia, your stinky tofu was sent to you too?" ”

Jia Weiran didn't care about any stinky tofu, rushed to the place, pushed open the door and saw his father with a helpless and anxious look, and two people sitting there to accompany him, it was the lord of Sanshui County and the county Cheng.

"Dad, how did you get here?" Jia Weiran breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously.

"Hey, it's good if you're here, eat something first, and I'll take office tomorrow." Jia Xianling said with a sigh.
