Chapter 0058 - Watching the Heavens at Night
Shen Kan gently patted his cousin's little head, looked at the two cousins who were nervous, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, first of all, I don't have the ability to kill the enemy, and I also know the truth that I can't be vain.
His words are by no means untargeted, even if he has no real skills, but his vision is naturally superhuman, and at the moment when the Portuguese are bent on seeking trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards will soon arrive, even if they do not make muskets, they can be the same as the Japanese countries, and it should not be difficult to introduce muskets and artillery, after all, Portugal and Spain are in a competitive relationship.
The second is that he has the wisdom of knowing people, he knows famous figures such as Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou......
"I know." Shen Yuqin was not disappointed, but looked excited, deliberately shook it with a group fan, and raised his head with a celebrity demeanor, "The fourth brother is a talented military advisor, right?" Just like Zhuge Kongming, the lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is in ashes......"
"Who am I worthy?" Shen Kan was stirred up by her, and smiled evilly, "A small masturbation is pleasant, a big masturbation hurts the body, and a strong masturbation is gone!" Oh, I mean, that, that trick in the side door, don't mind. ”
Subconsciously lust came out, after all, in the face of the three charming little beauties, Shen Kan was slightly embarrassed and hurriedly looked at him, and expelled all the bad thoughts in his heart that should be punished by heaven.
Shen Peiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest in fear, "It's good if you don't go, it's good if you don't go." I warn you, if you dare, see me ignore you for the rest of my life?"
Shen Peiwei said with a smile: "With the talent of the fourth brother, in my opinion, even if he helps to plan money and food, he will be hundreds of strong men, you know how to use your own strengths, good and good!"
"I'm just bragging." Shen Kan snorted and picked up the chopsticks, "The food is cold, let's eat it." ”
Next door, the old woman was smacking her tongue and licking her lips and eating cherry meat, but the old lady had any appetite and asked, "I don't know how it tastes today, but does it taste?"
The old woman clasped her palms together and chanted Amitabha, grinning: "I don't recognize what kind of meat it is, but I feel that it melts as soon as I put it in my mouth, it is strange and delicious, and it is wonderful!" You are really a living Buddha with good fortune and longevity, and even the thatched house here is more noble than the house we live in. ”
The old lady smiled slightly, knowing that the old man's words must mean something, so she said, "The yard of your house is still solid."
"Where is it strong?" The old woman sighed, "There is no money to repair it, the door of the courtyard is long gone, the courtyard wall is also falling and collapsing, and one of the three rooms has collapsed." ”
"So what's the matter?" Gu was moved by compassion and asked how many cattle, sheep and livestock there were at home.
The old woman then snorted and cried, and said: "Don't hide it from you, there is only one donkey left in the house, and the big fool next door who has been cut by a thousand knives said that he wants to pull it to grind noodles. After a few days, I asked my son to bring him back, and my donkey was so thin that he couldn't walk. The most annoying thing is that he is a big fool, pushing the ass of a donkey, but it is said that he feeds it forage and does not eat, and he is homesick and wants to lose weight, you always comment on it! Is there such a lack of virtue and smoke?"
A few girls had already heard it and laughed one by one, some turned their backs to rub their stomachs, and some simply ran out and lay on the chairs and rolled.
Caiyun coughed from time to time, signaling her to be tactful, but the old woman ignored it as if nothing had happened.
Gu Shi had already had the intention to help, but he was also worried that it would spread out, and he would find more relatives who came to the door to fight the autumn breeze, so he said: "My family is better than now, and since the master is at home, it has not been like a day." Now the daughters-in-law don't say it, I also guess that they can't get in or out, and the housekeepers and housekeepers and daughters-in-law below are also looking for decency, fighting for fame, being competitive, eating well, wearing well, and being diligent and thrifty, so now it is not as good as before. ”
"My Buddha grandmother." The old woman exclaimed, "Why do you say that, when the horse's belly is broken, and there is no long donkey whip?"
Burst! Shen Shi, who was already impatient, heard this, and squirted out a mouthful of wine.
Gu Shi smiled, "Good or broken, how long can I live?" Ignore three-seven-twenty-one. ”
The old woman said, "I see that the old lady is tougher than me, even if she can carry water."
Caiyun walked out unhappily and said to Shen Peiwen: "The more this old man talks, the more he speaks, the more vulgar his words become, I can't listen to it anymore."
"Let's get it together." Shen Peiwen took her hand, glanced at Shen Kan, and said, "There are some poor people who have fled from the village, can they eat?" We wanted to go out and see. ”
"There is no shortage of food in the village." Shen Kan looked at Yuqin, who was looking forward to it...... "Since you want to go out for a walk, let's go." ”
"Great." Shen Yuqin jumped up excitedly.
The geographical location of Shenjia Village is located between Jiangsu and Shanghai, there are more than 100 households in the village, and there are two or three hundred households in the town, most of them are farmers, in addition to planting rice, there are a variety of sideline jobs.
In addition, planting vegetables and flowers, raising silkworms and picking tea are also the main sideline industries, and agricultural products are not only sold to Suzhou City, but also exported to Shanghai-Hai counties and even Nanjing-Beijing area.
Therefore, Shenjia Village is very wealthy, merchants can be seen in the village all year round, and there is a teahouse at the entrance of the village, which is a unique chatting mecca in the village.
The teahouse is only three large rooms, with several benches inside and outside, but the scenery is not bad. There was a pasture in front of the door, with six or seven large willow trees, and it was along the river, next to the small pier.
On the other side of the river, looking at the green hills faintly, green trees, whenever the weather is warm, in front of the teahouse at night, under the shade of willows, many people in the village gather to eat tea and talk about the world.
Now there are several large shacks temporarily built on the pasture, in which there are bamboo couches and straw mats, and a lot of colorful old clothes are dried outside, and the refugees are placed here, and there are more than a dozen small boats moored in the river, and the boats are also full of people.
There are many people, and the villagers come over after dinner, and they set up a dragon gate formation with people from other places.
Sixty-year-old Mr. Gu has always been a frequent visitor here, coming over twice a day in the morning and evening, a pot of morning tea in the morning and a pot of evening tea in the evening. In fact, his tea leaves are brought by himself, and he only needs to flush some boiling water from the teahouse, and fix ten copper coins per month.
Recently, his family has been repairing his house, and the strong men among these refugees have naturally become his cheap workers, saving a lot of wages.
The people who couldn't escape had jobs, and the money they earned could be used to buy food and other daily necessities, and they soon quieted down, and Shenjia Village was much more relaxed, so Master Gu was very proud, thinking that he had done a great deed and helped the refugees in the village.
There is also a regular customer in the store, not counting the Enlightenment School, he is the only teacher in the village, surnamed Hu Qingshan, and he is a famous talent. He had a pipe more than a foot long in his hand, and he smoked a kind of tidal tobacco leaves smuggled from Guangdong, and the smell was very unpleasant.
Hu Qingshan has been teaching apprentices in the village for several years, and there are nearly 40 students when there are many students, but a new school has recently opened in the village.
Originally, he was the highest school in the village, but the new Mr. Wang, who was quite famous, modest and elegant, attracted a lot of his students at once, and made this Mr. Hu busy teaching seriously, and reduced the shackles, and only collected one penny a month, which saved some of the situation.
Master Gu and Mr. Hu have always been at odds with each other, because they think that his level is not good, he can't teach good students, and at the same time, in order to anger the other party, he vigorously supports the new school.
Tonight, everyone in the teahouse is talking about a number of warships coming from the north, and it is said that the ships are all soldiers from Shandong, and I heard that there are many carriages from the west, and there are some Hubei soldiers on the carts.
At this moment, the two of them each occupy the old place, separated by a table from each other, and they are clearly distinguished.
Master Gu said: "Could it be that I have lived to be sixty years old, and I still have to touch the damned ghost?" I don't think so, in which year there were no rumors? I didn't see it at all. If my age tells me to abandon my family and business and flee, it will be a damn world. ”
Mr. Hu said: "That's not necessarily, the old man watched the sky at night, and there was a huge star shining red in the middle of the night these days. When the time comes, you don't run? Then sit at home and wait for death. ”
A merchant took a sip of tea and said, "Then I'll go to the yamen in the city tomorrow to ask, it's not careless."
"Unreliable, unreliable." Mr. Hu shook his head, "The words of the government are unreliable, they are all nonsense, if the Japanese are really killed, they will run faster than rabbits." ”
This statement immediately won the support of the refugees, and they escaped as if they were dead, who doesn't hold their anger at the incompetent government?
Master Gu squinted his eyes and said, "Have you ever experienced a war?" Haven't experienced it, have you? I passed it through when I was a kid, and it's really scary to say. The little ghosts often took people captive and carried them with long knives, which were faster than their stature, and the ghosts of Sirisiwa screamed, and everyone was lustful, from the old woman of eighty years old to the girl of three or four years old, she did not spare any of her mothers, and they were good at cutting off people's heads. That year, the officers and thieves fought on the riverbank outside, and many people drowned at that time. ”
