Chapter 156: Ding Qian began to prepare
Xie Jinwu stood up and arched his hand to Chen Lang and Ding Qianyi: "Two brothers, this is really not free when the errand is not free, and the freedom is not bad, let's meet again another day!" Without waiting for the two to reply, he pushed open the door and went downstairs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ding Qian sat there and shook his head: "Alas! A long sigh was issued.
Chen Lang said puzzledly: "Xie Jinwu is gone, what are you sighing for, you don't look at the title of the gold list, you are not convinced!" ”
Ding Qian said: "Xie Jinwu's title on the gold list is obtained by people's talent and hard work, what am I not convinced." ”
Chen Lang said: "Then why did you let out that long sigh, as if you were very unconvinced." ”
Ding Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not unconvinced, but I suddenly have an inexplicable premonition in my heart." ”
Chen Lang said: "What a hunch! ”
Ding Qian said: "I can't tell, I always feel that something unexpected is about to happen." ”
Chen Lang asked, "Is that a good thing or a bad thing!" ”
Ding Qian said: "I don't have a hunch that it's not like a good thing!" ”
Chen Lang stretched out his hand and touched Ding Qian's head and said, "Are you drinking too much and talking nonsense there." Xie Jinwu is now at the head of good luck, and no one can stop that luck, and something ominous can happen. ”
Ding Qiandao: "That's not accurate, I don't know that Lao Tzu once said that misfortune and blessing depend; Blessings and misfortunes lurk. Why! ”
Chen Lang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Gotta get it!" Don't be cranky here, let's go, go home and go to sleep! I'm really sleepy after drinking all night. With that, he took Ding Qian out of the Western restaurant in heaven and earth, and came to the street, Ding Qian said to Chen Lang: "Go home and sleep by yourself!" I'll go back to the building materials shop on Qingshui Street. ”
Chen Lang glanced at Ding Qian and shook his head and said, "It's early in the morning, is there a customer coming to the door, it's really inexplicable!" With that, he threw down Ding Qian and walked in the direction of his own house.
Ding Qian walked west along Freezer Street, intending to turn from the street to Qingshui Street.
Ding Qian pondered in his heart while walking, in the 21st century, he listened to the commentary that Xie Jinwu crossed the street and smashed the door number of Tianbo Mansion and the two stone lions in front of the gate, is it true! Can a polite person like Xie Jinwu do such a thing!
The commentaries are basically compiled by later generations, so wouldn't they belittle others in order to elevate the image of some people?
However, this Xie Jinwu really has to be named on the gold list, hand-picked as the champion, it can't be such a coincidence!
"Alas!" It's better to believe what you have than what you don't. It's better to start making some preparations in advance, so as not to get caught up in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Ding Qian quickened his pace and came to the Zhongxin Building Materials Shop on Qingshui Street, in front of a stone shop next door.
This stone shop called Qiaoshou Luban is the largest stone shop in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and the shop has hired three or four skilled craftsmen to carve some Buddha statues for some large families, Weng Zhong, town house lions or something.
Ding Qian stood in front of the door of the skillful Luban stone shop, looked up at the rising sun in the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked on the door "Dangdang", and soon a lazy voice came from the door: "Who, come to knock on the door so early, and don't let people sleep lazy." Then the door was pushed open from the inside, and a man in his forties poked his head out, and when he saw that it was Ding Qian, he said, "Oh, it turned out to be the neighbor's young shopkeeper, I don't know what the young shopkeeper commanded." ”
Ding Qian saw that this stonemason surnamed Geng he knew, and he said, "Master Geng, you are early!" ”
Master Geng said enthusiastically: "If the shopkeeper has anything to say, come in and say!" ”
Ding Qian walked into the courtyard and said, "Master Geng, I have something I want you to do, I don't know if it's okay!" ”
Master Geng smiled and said, "Seeing where you went, we live in neighborhoods, what is it to do a favor, let's talk!" What's the matter? ”
Ding Qian said: "Then, Master Geng, do you know where the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion is!" ”
Master Geng said: "The Yang family of Tianbo Mansion is the gate of loyalty and martyrdom of our Great Song Dynasty, I don't know that!" ”
Ding Qian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you two taels of silver, can you go to the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion and measure the size of the pair of stone lions in front of their house." ”
Master Geng waved his hand and said: "Young shopkeeper, you don't have to pay for this silver, and I don't have to run errands, what are you doing with that effort, we have a pair of stone lions in front of Tianbo Mansion in our backyard." ”
Ding Qian said: "This is great, how can you still have a pair of stone lions like that." ”
Master Geng said: "This has to be said five years ago, five years ago, when Tianfu Bo was just built, we set a pair of stone lions here, and it happened that we happened to have four pieces of the same original stone, so they were carved out together, and if you plan to have that big family to buy, you don't have to work hard." I knew that for five years but no one cared about it, and the poor pair of stone lions were covered with dust all over their bodies. ”
Ding Qian nodded: "Okay, Master Geng, can you take me to the backyard to see the pair of stone lions?" ”
Master Geng said: "Then what's the matter, a pair of stone things can't be bad." ”
Ding Qian followed Master Geng to the backyard, only to see a stone lion more than one person tall placed against the east wall, they should be majestic as if they were polished listlessly by the wind and rain of the years, squatting at the foot of the wall and sighing helplessly.
Ding Qian looked left and right at the pair of stone lions and said to Master Geng: "Master Geng, can you ask someone to rinse this pair of stone lions with water in a while, I am going to buy them and give them to a friend!" ”,
Master Geng said: "Oh, what kind of friend sends such a valuable thing, the price of this stone lion is not low!" ”
Ding Qian said: "Master Geng, love is priceless, how can friends be measured by silver!" You say, how much silver is this pair of stone lions, I won't bargain, and I will make a deal on the spot. ”
Master Geng said: "Happy, then for the sake of our neighbors for many years, I won't ask you more." How about three hundred taels of silver! ”
Ding Qian said: "Okay, you wait for me to get you silver when I go home!" With that, he walked out.
Master Geng looked at Ding Qian's back and smiled: "Hehe, this really wants a daughter-in-law to come to the girl." Two days ago, someone came to buy this pair of broken stone lions, and they didn't give them a hundred taels of silver, but they didn't expect that someone would come to the door early this morning. ”
This is really a businessman and a stonemason, who seems to be simple on the surface, but also knows how to kill ripe.
Ding Qian returned home and came to his room, but Hu Ge still did not come back, seeing that he had lived in Hu Hai's house for a long time. Ding Qian squatted down, pulled out a nanmu box from under the bed, reached out and touched a few pieces of silver, stuffed it in his arms, and walked outside.
Ding Zhong walked over with his clothes draped and said, "You don't have a home all day long, and when you come back, it's a bit of foolishness, and this is where you go again!" ”
Ding Qian said: "You don't care, my son is doing the right thing, and he won't cause you trouble." ”
Ding Zhong scolded: "Rabbit cub, if you don't invite disaster and cause trouble, I won't ask, then I'll ask you, is your kid still my species." ”
Ding Qian nodded angrily and said, "Yes, yes, you will always be my father!" So saying, he ran out.
Ding Zhong shouted behind Ding Qian: "Rabbit cub, you come back for me, I still have something to say to you!" ”
At this time, Ding Qian's mother came over and said, "Old man, this person has run away, what are you still shouting at the top of your voice, are you full of food?" ”
Ding Zhong didn't have a fire in his stomach, so he turned around and shouted at his wife: "It's all such an unobtrusive thing that you were born with, let me worry about it all day long." ”
Ding Zhong's mother said: "Bah, why don't you look for me for good things, it's up to me." It is the father's fault that the son does not teach, and he does not understand it. ”
Ding Zhong stomped his feet and said: "Alas, this kid is not like this, how come his temperament has changed greatly since he almost didn't let Lord Yama call him that time!" ”
Ding Qian's mother said angrily: "You ask me, I ask who to go, but then again, no matter how he changes, he is also the seed of your old Ding family." ”
Ding Zhong sighed: "Alas, in the past, I complained that he was not the material for business, so I desperately left him such a shop, so that he would not be able to eat after we were gone." But this is good, although this kid is now making a lot of money, why do I feel even more uneasy! ”
Ding Qian's mother said: "I think you are cheap, is it good that Qian'er is so old or depends on himself I can't tell the difference, I need you to worry about it." ”
Ding Zhong snorted angrily: "Hmph, no matter how big it is, I am also his father, can't I just say two words!" ”
Ding Qian's mother said: "Okay, of course it's okay, but now that everyone has run away, you are still here shouting to that one!" I don't want to listen to you having no and no. ”
Ding Zhong scolded: "You don't want to listen, no one forces you to listen, get back to the house for me." As he spoke, he slammed the door and walked out.
Ding Qian came to the skillful Luban stonemason shop next door, handed the silver to Master Geng and said, "Give!" Master Geng, this is three hundred taels of silver. ”
Master Geng took the silver with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll let the guy wash the stone lion clean up immediately." When will you pull the shopkeeper! ”
Ding Qian said: "Put it here for the time being, and when I have time, I will find someone to pull it away." ”
Master Geng said: "Okay, you have to hurry up, leave it here in case it breaks it." ”
Ding Qian said: "Okay, don't worry, I will come and pull it away soon." With that, he walked out of the stone shop, and wanted to go home for a meal, but he was afraid that his father would nag, so he turned and walked to a tavern opposite.
When the guy saw it, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Yo, isn't this the shopkeeper Ding, I haven't seen you there for a long time to make a fortune." ”
Ding Qian smiled and said: "It's not easy to make money there now, so I didn't go there, just sat at home and ate some old books." ”
The man smiled: "You still have an old book to eat, unlike me, who earns a day to eat, if you don't work today, I'm afraid you will have to eat tomorrow." ”
Ding Qiandao: "Don't say yourself so pitiful, the world doesn't believe in tears, the more you pretend to be pitiful, the more others look down on you." Remember, brother, it's a man who doesn't have any money in his pocket at any time. Even if you say it, who can still give you a few taels! ”
The guy's face turned blue and red for a while, and said: "What the shopkeeper Ding said is extremely true, and he really deserves to be a person who has mixed up in a big scene." With that, he turned and walked away.
Ding Qian said behind him: "Hey, you haven't given me anything to eat yet!" ”
The guy turned around and said with a wry smile: "Shopkeeper Ding, I don't know what you want to eat?" ”
Ding Qian said: "Bring me two steamed buns, a bowl of egg soup and a plate of small pickles." ”
The guy said, "Oh, shopkeeper Ding, you eat this with such a big identity?" ”
Ding Qian smiled: "What identity do I have, aren't I just like you as a common person!" ”
The man said, "How dare I compare with you, you are a rich treasurer, I am just a little man who listens to people's shouting!" ”
Ding Qian said: "Brother, don't look down on yourself, the big shopkeeper of Fanlou turned out to be a guy in a tavern, but now he has become the richest man in Kaifeng City." Brother, people must strive for self-improvement in order to change their destiny. ”
The man said: "Then, shopkeeper Ding, do you think I can become a rich man like the shopkeeper of Fan Lou in the future!" ”
Ding Qian stood up, stroked his man's shoulders with both hands, and said word by word: "Yes, you will definitely be able to." As long as you work hard, there is hope for success, if you don't work hard, you will never succeed, do you want to be a little guy for the rest of your life! ”
The guy looked at Ding Qian, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Ding!" As he spoke, he walked away with a solemn face.
