Zhu Biao left Tanchun Tower and went straight to the mansion of the Soldier and Horse Superintendent of Dongping Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When Zhu Biao came to Dongping Mansion to treat the only daughter of the prefect, he often went in and out of the mansion of the Governor of Horses, so most of the servants of the Mansion of the Governor of Horses and Horses also knew him, and when Zhu Biao entered and exited the Governor's Mansion, Xiao En Xiaohui gave a lot, and most of the people in the Governor's Mansion "liked" him, so he entered the Governor's Mansion very easily and met Dong Ping.
Dong Ping was saddened, suddenly saw Zhu Biao coming, and suddenly had a feeling of a god descending from heaven, he stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Biao's hand and said: "Brother, you are here, why don't you say a word before you come, brother, I have to prepare a banquet, and our brothers will rest when they are drunk." ”
Zhu Biao asked: "My brother doesn't know anything about my little brother, my little brother eats wine, he has never looked at the delicacies of Zhongshan and the sea, and he has never looked at the elixir and jade liquid, as long as the elder brother can afford the younger brother, the younger brother can also look up to the elder brother, it is a glass of white water, and the younger brother eats it is also delicious!" ”
"Haha," Dong Ping said: "Brother said well, although I don't have delicacies from the mountains and seas at home, and there is no elixir and jade liquid, but a few dishes of small wine and a few glasses of liquor, there are still them." ”
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and serve the food and wine, your brother and I haven't had dinner yet." ”
"Okay, brother is quick to talk, brother, I am very happy!" At that moment, Dong Ping instructed the servant maid to prepare wine and food in the study.
When the wine and food were ready, Zhu Biao rewarded each of the servants who prepared the wine and food.
Dong Ping and Zhu Biao sat down, Zhu Biao poured Dong Ping full of wine, and then poured himself full, picked up the wine and said: "Brother, I haven't seen you for many days, come, our brother will drink this cup first." ”
At that moment, Zhu Biao and Dong Ping drank all the wine in the cup. Zhu Biao put a peanut into his mouth, and asked Dong Ping lightly: "Brother, how is your marriage with Miss Cheng, does Cheng Wanli agree?" ”
Dong Ping was about to eat another glass of wine, when he heard Zhu Biao's words, the wine glass that came to his mouth was put down by him again, sighed, shook his hand and said, "Brother, don't say it, don't say it." ”
"What's the matter, isn't Cheng Wanli still unwilling to agree to marry Miss Cheng to his brother?" Zhu Biao said: "Everyone knows that this Miss Cheng has slept with her brother, could it be that Cheng Wanli still wants to marry someone else?" Even if you marry someone else, who wants it? ”
Dong Ping also took a peanut and was about to put it in his mouth, when he heard Zhu Biao's words, he slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", and said, "It's not that he refuses to marry Miaoqing to me, but ...... Hey, it's hard to put into words! ”
Zhu Biao also suddenly felt curious, and said: "When did my brother become so unhappy to speak, did Cheng Wanli give my brother any problems again?" The elder brother just said that the younger brother must have a clever plan to make the old ...... "Zhu Biao was going to talk about the old thief, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that insulting other people's prospective father-in-law in front of his son-in-law was not good after all." So he changed his words and said: "There must be a clever plan to let my brother's father-in-law obediently marry his daughter to my brother." ”
"Oh, really?" Although Dong Ping did not doubt Zhu Biao's resourcefulness, he was a little skeptical about Zhu Biao's promise today.
Zhu Biao asked: "Brother, tell me quickly, how do you have to marry your old man to marry his daughter?" ”
Dong Ping pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "The prefect wants a bride price of 3,000 yuan." Brother knows, brother, I am just a soldier and horse supervisor, and I never eat empty quotas and drink soldiers' blood, so I have 3,000 yuan for him! Speaking of this, Dong Ping sighed again and said: "When the prefect said three thousand yuan, I also asked the prefect if he could have less, but he didn't think that the prefect said that you petty officials like to bargain the most in this bride price. This really annoys me! ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart: "Okay, I just happened to fall for my plan!" So he said: "Three thousand guan money, not too much, but too little, for a Qing official like my brother who only takes the court, three thousand guan is a little more-" Speaking of this, Zhu Biao glanced at Dong Ping, who was full of sadness, cleared his throat and said: "However, the younger brother has a way to make a fortune, I don't know if my brother is willing to give it a try." ”
Dong Ping said: "Brother, say it quickly." ”
Zhu Biao leaned close to Dong Ping's ear and asked, "Dare to ask my brother, how much time is there left, and the imperial court will pay the soldiers?" ”
As soon as Dong Ping heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he stood up and said, "Brother, what are you talking about!" These brothers and their families who are soldiers are just waiting for the military pay to live, but you want me to drink the blood of the soldiers, do you still take me as your brother! ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he not only admired it in his heart, but also hurriedly said: "Brother is angry!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of Jiaozi from his arms, put it on the table and said: "The younger brother is just a temptation to test the elder brother, if the elder brother is Hua Huai's pickled talent, the younger brother will never have the idea of being a brother with his brother." ”
When Dong Ping saw a Jiaozi on the table, his heart fluttered: money! At this moment, I need money the most, look at this meaning, Zhu Biao has the heart to give this money to himself! However, he is still an officer, how can he ask for his money?
Men tend to swing left and right between reality and ideals, and it is difficult to weigh them.
"What do you mean, brother?" Dong Ping looked at the Jiaozi on the table and asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao said: "Little brother Mingren doesn't tell lies in front of him, I came to Dongping Mansion this time to make a deal with my brother." “
"Doing business? What do you buy? ”
"The younger brother is going to open a dart game." Zhu Biao said: "Presumably my brother can also see clearly, now the world is chaotic, thieves are everywhere, and the roads are sparsely populated in some places. Not long ago, Liang Zhongshujin of the Daimyo Mansion presented a birthday gift to Master Cai, and the 100,000 Birthday Gang was robbed by the Liangshan thieves. So my brother wanted to come, just to start a dart game and make money in this troubled world. ”
Dong Ping asked: "Brother wants to open a dart game, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"The younger brother wants to invite the elder brother to join the shares."
Dong Ping thought for a while and asked: "My brother can afford my brother and wants my brother to join a share, but my brother now has the principal to buy shares?" ”
"You don't need my brother to pay the principal, as long as I am on the way to the dart in the future, my brother can send a few capable soldiers to help - of course, the younger brother will never treat the brother who is betting together, and in addition, in the customs and defense documents, it is convenient and accommodating, which is considered to be the brother's share, and the younger brother will let the brother get a dividend of 10% every year!" Saying that, Zhu Biao pushed the Jiaozi in front of Dong Ping and said, "Brother, as long as my brother responds, this is the dividend of the first year, five thousand." If the business is good in a year, the younger brother will come to offer it again, what does the elder brother think? ”
"This ...... This ......" Dong Ping looked at Jiaozi in front of him, and thought about Cheng Wanli's 3,000 dowry, hesitated for a moment, then took Jiaozi into his arms, and arched his hand: "Then ...... first"
Zhu Biao knew what Dong Ping was going to say, and truncated: "Brother doesn't need to say thank you, it's all about making money to support the family, and it's not easy for anyone." In the future, our brothers will work together and make a fortune is still to come. ”
