Chapter 116: Gao Peng's wife
After another three days, there was no news from Fan Jia's side, and Wang Mang had not had time to officially summon Jiang Hexing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiang Hexing stayed in the Barbarian Mansion, it was really boring, there were only two old masters chatting every day, and he felt like he was about to become an old man.
At noon that day, just after lunch, Jiang Hexing walked out of the Barbarian Mansion and walked around casually. The sun was scorching outside, the earth was on fire, and the roasters were sweating.
Jiang Hexing didn't go far, he came back in a gray way, and just walked to the door, he saw a woman in a white dress in front of him, walking lightly towards the room where Xu Lang and Yang Xiong lived.
Jiang Hexing wondered in his heart, what is this old man going to do? The problem is that some pro-soldiers, even if they see it, no one asks.
Jiang Hexing knows that here, only Xu Lang has this power, the problem is that he is not young, and there is still daytime, how can you?
The more Jiang Hexing thought about it, the more strange it became, and he followed closely and kept a distance of an arrow. Seeing that the woman in white came to Xu Lang's door and walked in.
After a while, Xu Lang walked out, shaking a pu fan in one hand and a gray clay pot in the other. shouted at the house to the east: "Lao Yang, come out, play chess, isn't it hot in the house?" ”
After a while, Yang Xiong also shook his pu fan and walked out of the house with a smile. The two of them came to a stone table in front of Xu Lang's house and sat down.
When the river line came, the two of them had already given off two sons each. Jiang Hexing has always had no good feelings for Go, and he can't understand it, and when they used to play chess, Jiang Hexing would run to sleep under the shade of a tree.
Today, in order to find out what happened to the woman just now. Jiang Hexing moved a chair and sat behind Yangxiong, watching the two old masters play chess.
The two old men only cared about playing chess by themselves, and they didn't care that Jiang Hexing was behind them.
This game of chess has been played for a long time, and when I see the sun set and the heat dissipates, this game of chess has seen the result. Xu Lang probably had the chance to win, looked at Yang Xiong with a smile and said, "How about it, admit defeat?" ”
Yang Xiong said: "You are more attentive to playing chess." It's almost time, how is her business? ”
Xu Lang threw the remaining chess pieces in his hand on the table and shouted, "No, she should go back too, I'll deal with it." ”
Xu Lang turned around and went back to the house, and after a while, the woman in white walked out with some books in her hand. Jiang Hexing saw that it was Gao Peng's wife, and he didn't know what Xu Lang asked her to do in the house.
After Gao Peng's wife left, Xu Lang came over to explain to Jiang Hexing that he saw her pitiful, there was almost no way to make money at home, and the child was not in good health. It just so happened that this woman could write well, so she found a job to do. Let her come here to copy books, Xu Lang and Yang Xiong are awkward to read Jiang Hexing's books.
Because Jiang Hexing changed all the books he issued to him to the mode he was used to, from left to right, they were all horizontally. The two old masters love to read, but they always feel awkward when they read the books of the rivers and rivers.
Therefore, when I came across this opportunity, I just asked Gao Peng's wife to copy the book. On the one hand, it is convenient for me to study in the future, and on the other hand, it is also to help this small family.
Gao Peng's wife copied books at home, and she could copy books in Xu Lang's room in the Barbarian Mansion, and after copying a book, Xu Lang would give her some salt. On average, you can earn a pound of salt a day. This should be a good income for their small family, not to mention that Xu Lang gave Pingzhou snowflake salt that can't be seen on the market.
After Xu Lang finished speaking, Jiang Hexing didn't say anything, this old master, with a good heart, what can Jiang Hexing say.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Jiang Hexing stays in the Barbarian Mansion every day, very bored, thinking about how to officially meet Wang Mang.
Wang Mang seems to be very busy, and there has been no official news. Jiang Hexing was also a little helpless.
On this day, the intellectuals in the trees shouted tirelessly. Zhang Meng bought red plums from outside, as well as yellow and clear apricots. Washed and placed on a few plates, on the stone table under the walnut tree, it was the table where Xu Lang usually played chess.
Zhang Meng called everyone to eat the tender fruit while enjoying the cold.
At this time, Gao Peng and Gao Peng's wife came to everyone together.
Several people were very puzzled, only to see Gao Peng's face was pale, holding a gray clay pot in his hand, the clay pot was tightly sealed, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but it was definitely not water.
Gao Peng walked directly towards everyone, followed by his wife, lowered his head, and occasionally glanced at Xu Lang in horror, Jiang Hexing found that the young woman's face was covered with sweat, but her eyes were red, it seemed that her face was not sweat, it seemed that she had just shed tears, and she didn't have time to scrub it.
After all, Gao Peng was just a petty official, and when he came to everyone, he first gave a respectful salute.
Xu Lang said: "Gao Peng, you two come here, there are just fresh plums and apricots here, come and eat together." ”
Gao Peng walked back and forth to the stone table, "snapped" the jar in his hand, put it on the table, looked at Xu Lang and said, "Mr. Xu, the salt in this is what you gave to the insider?" ”
Xu Lang smiled slightly: "Yes, I asked your wife, let me do something for me, help me write some words, and I was rude to give it away, I just had a little salt in my hand, so I gave it to her." ”
Gao Peng's face softened slightly, but his tone still did not relax, he took off the lid on the jar, pointed to the jar and said, "Mr. Xu, this is salt, do you know that there is an order from the imperial court that private individuals are not allowed to sell salt?" ”
Xu Lang said: "Then tell me, how much did you buy it?" ”
Gao Peng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Zhang Meng slapped the table, and the shocked fruit plate jumped up, and the plums and apricots in it jumped out, and several of them rolled to the ground.
Zhang Meng pointed at Gao Peng and said, "Gao Peng, don't you know what's wrong, in our Pingzhou, even us and Wang don't dare to talk to Mr. Xu like this." How old are you, you dare to come here today to ask for your guilt. Don't look at us politely and think that we are easy to bully. ”
Xu Lang waved his hand at Zhang Meng and said, "Young man, don't be sensible, don't scare him." Gao Peng is either a bad person, or he has too little knowledge. When I was younger, I was probably about the same as him. ”
When Xu Lang said this, everyone around him burst into laughter.
Everyone calmed down, and Jiang Hexing said to Gao Peng: "Gao Peng, tell me, what are you not satisfied with, is it too little to give, or do you think it is better to give money." If you give money, how much do you say? ”
Jiang He's words were stern, his face was not smiling, and after speaking, he stared at Gao Peng to see how he answered.
Gao Peng's wife was standing behind Gao Peng, just under the sun, although it was very hot, she kept her head down and didn't say anything.
After listening to Jiang He's jargon with anger, Gao Peng was still stunned and motionless, but Gao Peng's wife knelt on the ground with a "bang": "Everyone, this matter is really a little girl's greed, and it has nothing to do with her husband, please don't blame him." ”
Jiang Hexing sighed, waved his hand and said, "Gao Peng, you have a good wife, I won't say more." If you want this salt, if you don't want it, you can give it money, anyway, we won't let your wife work in vain. See for yourself. (To be continued.) )
