Next Chapter

God, the god of heaven, is the one who brings out all things.

Que, view also.

In the early autumn of the second year of Kaibao (969 AD), Liang Yuxi was about to turn eighteen, and these days were the folds of the face all day long.

It's not that this little guy in Donglu Mansion looks old, and it's not that he was born out of appearance, but that the old man of Donglu Guang in the house a few days ago, when he was dining in the back hall, he was treated as the face of people up and down, left and right, and counted him down. This meal fell, as if it was nine days and a scoop of ice water was cold in the heart, which made Liang Yuxi very frustrated.

Liang Yuxi felt that in the alleys and alleys of Qinghe County, no matter the small guys in Nafu, in terms of the diligence of his legs and feet, thoughtful vision, strict mouth and good news, he Liang Yuxi could see his own in the eyes of others, which was many times stronger than other small guys.

Since the beginning of the year, the master has deliberately let him often go to the crude medicine shop, rice shop, and pawnshop under the house...... and the business of the fence and tiled place, and instructed the shopkeepers and men of the arks not to be lazy. Even Ma Degui, who feeds the livestock in the stable in the house, knows that he is favored by the master, but he doesn't know how the master will place him, whether he will come to the bunk, or stay in the house to help the housekeeper, it is not exact.

When she heard these people getting together to say these gossips, Liang Yuxi's mother also became more and more sincere and frightened on her face, as if she was happy and worried. Liang Yuxi even once woke up on the fourth watch, still in the small courtyard where he and his mother lived, and laughed out loud after hearing his mother crying alone.

He knew that his mother was talking to his underground father, and his mother was happy in her heart.

Speaking of which, there has always been an unwritten ancestral system in this Donglu Mansion, and the little girl raised by the family will no longer be able to run errands with the class after the bundle of hair will be eighteen. Although the little guy is a slave of a big family, what this half of the big man does is not to be underestimated. The little guy is just running errands to pass the word, so he must be able to understand the voice, and he can't follow the words of the cat and the tiger, nor can he reply according to the gourd. Once this is passed around, there is a small Qiankun inside, and if you are not careful, it will make the person on the other end misunderstand and express the wrong feelings. This second thing is that you can't delay things, you can't miss the hour because of your own petty temperament, not only can't you be distracted by playing, but sometimes you have to run fast. If you go from the butcher shop in the east of the county to the rice market in the west of the county, you can run back and forth with a stick of incense. At the most lively time, the flowers who sat under the archway in the city were happy to watch the small bodies of these little guys running around.

Qinghe County is a radius of 100 miles, the county seat is on the edge of the Qinghe River, since the previous dynasty changed to the Great Song Dynasty, the big families have not seen less. The Donglu family has also been in Qinghe County for many generations, making a fortune from a crude medicine shop, and has been prosperous until it has a business in the western half of the street. In later generations, some people arranged this Donglu family as the Ximen family with the script, saying that he was a Ximen family, and produced a prodigal son who single-mindedly slept in flowers and willows, and provoked the grass and the wind, and finally the family business fell into his hands, and he was also exhausted by several women's families, and became the gossip of later generations. This person who sings music and tells stories has always only been afraid of small things, not big things, some of them are false, and some of them are just for the pleasure of readers.

Liang Yuxi heard Ma Degui say in his spare time that in the early years of the house, there was a small servant named Shi Jin, who was smart and very well-behaved, and had always been the little follower of Grandpa Taizu. But as Shi Jin grew older, his ingenious little temperament became more and more prominent, and he was picked up by a gang of scoundrels on the street and began to play cards and money. Starting from a few pennies, I gradually drilled into the gambling stalls when I was empty, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and it was a little out of control.

This little guy doesn't have much spare money, and the writer slave originally mixed a mouthful of food and a jacket, and was well fed and warmly dressed. This little guy has been raised from childhood to adulthood, and the government does not pay wages. There are a few kinds of money that are also given by the old men when they are happy, so let's save it.

One day, Shi Jin slipped out of the mansion in the middle of the night, ran to a gambling stall in a hurry, and slipped back to the house until the sky turned white, and he was also depressed and returned the IOU in the hands of others.

In the morning, after going out with the master to the noisy lion building by the lion bridge, the master had tea with the owner of a group of rice shops, and he yawned on the side of the street on the ground floor. This yawn is sleepy, and the second yawn is penniless, and he sighs that the hero is short of breath, and he thinks about how he can give birth to silver.

After the upstairs masters finished talking about things, they all called their own servants and explained them in detail, asking them to go to their own rice shop and pass the word to the shopkeeper and deacon, and they would all close the door at noon, and there should be no mistake. After receiving the reward, the servants scattered. Only this Shi Jin stayed behind and listened to a few more words, knowing the edge of some outside the discussion.

With a move in his mind, after he went out, he did not run to his own rice shop, but to the Niufu, the first shop in the rice market in Qinghe County. He ran all the way around the alley back street, and arrived at the Niu Mansion in less than half an hour, with his tongue and tongue, the concierge of the Niu Mansion did not stop for long, and was led into the house by the gatekeeper, and also met the eldest master of the Niu family.

After half a cup of tea, Shi Jin slipped out of the Niufu with a small baggage, and disappeared after coming out. Since then, there has been no such person on the boundary of Qinghe County, which is all a later story.

It is said that Niu Fu rewarded Shi Jin with 50 taels of silver, and Niu Da got an opportunity of one or two hours, and he defeated several rice merchants in Qinghe County. Although Donglu Mansion has a big business, it has suffered a big loss, and it almost suffered a lawsuit, but it can still be turned around. But the grandfather of the grandfather had to beat his chest when the weather, and set up an ancestral precept, in the future, the little family will be under the age of 18 after the hair is tied, as a shop guy and a miscellaneous subordinate, anyway, they must not continue to stay by their side to follow.

Liang Yuxi should reach the age of 18 when he reaches the winter moon, and he also knows this ancestral teaching, if you want to say that the hair is long gone, no, the lord has been calling him every day, but the hurdle of 18 years old must not be overcome.

Seeing that he is 18 years old, although he is a teenager and usually sells a lot of good people, but at this time, he also knows how to act cautiously, and he is getting older and more serious. Talk less, legs are more diligent, and vision is more lively. The old lady is not there, and they are all as good as possible. is rarely in one place with the usual playful guys, and they don't have anything to do with people outside the house.

But one day, it was something that gradually changed the fate of this little guy.
