Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Difficult Job Search
The old man poured bitter water without waiting for the owner to open his mouth to ask: "These days, the lady in the family is sick and bedridden, and many doctors in the capital have not improved. ”
The pavilion owner's face was solemn when he heard this, and he asked with concern: "What is the disease so serious?" ”
The old man shook his head and sighed mournfully: "My wife has been coughing non-stop, and the doctor can't tell how ugly she is." ”
The hall owner was puzzled, and then asked, "Since it is so serious, how did it get better?" ”
Speaking of this, the old man's eyebrows gradually gave rise to a hint of relief: "That's why I haven't come to you for this time, the doctor in the capital didn't see it well, so he went to the provinces to see, and later in Shandong let Yilang use home remedies to cure." ”
When the owner heard the old man say that his wife had been cured of a serious illness, his expression eased a little, and the two of them picked up the tea on the table together. When the old man was drinking tea, he casually glanced at the table, and saw that there was a piece of paper on the table, which was full of dense words.
The old man put down the teacup and picked up the paper on the table and looked at it slowly, sometimes nodding and sometimes exclaiming like the owner of the museum: "Well, yes, it will be a great thing in time." The hall owner laughed and was happy for his insight, and said to Qingyu, who was reading the notes: "Boy, it's rare for our brother Wu to appreciate. ”
Qingyu heard the words of the hall owner and got up and said to the old man: "Thank you for the praise of the old man, the boy will definitely work hard in the future." The old man put down the paper in his hand and looked at it with a smile on his face.
The smile on the old man's face suddenly became strange when he saw Qingyu, not as comfortable as before, Qingyu and the hall owner both felt surprised when they saw it.
The old man got up and pulled the pavilion owner aside and asked in a low voice, "Where did you find this person?" The owner of the pavilion said inexplicably: "He came in by himself to apply, what's wrong?" ”
The old man seemed to see the king of Hades, and said in shock: "I have just come from the street, and the Jinyi guard is going around telling the merchants that they are not allowed to hire him, he is a criminal, and whoever hires this person is a criminal in private. ”
When the owner heard this, he felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes were black and he was about to fall to the ground......
The hall owner woke up leisurely, held back the fear in his heart and asked, "How is this good, he was seen when he entered this door, maybe the Jinyi guard was also rushing towards you." ”
The old man was not as frightened as he was when he first saw Qingyu, and calmly said to the hall owner: "We will give this person a gift out of the door, as long as we cross this threshold, it has nothing to do with us." The owner asked, "How do you give it?" ”
The old man said, "You go and tell that kid that he has also been recruited, and just give him a few dollars and send him away." ”
The pavilion owner nodded and said, "That's all it takes." ”
Having made up his mind, the pavilion owner came to Qingyu and bowed deeply, Qingyu hurriedly held the pavilion owner and asked, "Why is this the pavilion master?" The owner of the pavilion almost choked up and said: "The old man is untrustworthy because you don't know how to face the son." ”
Qingyu was a little puzzled by the second monk, and asked suspiciously: "Pavilion master, why do you talk about this?" ”
The hall owner said with tears in his eyes: "Childe, our notes are not counted, just now the old man and his distant cousin told me about this before, but after a long time no one came, I made a notice at the door to hire someone, who would have thought that hey......" The hall owner sighed and continued: "He has come to the capital now, so he will live in Brother Wu's house to rest and come over in two days." Therefore, ......" is really difficult for the owner to speak.
After saying so much, Qingyu finally understood that he was not hired by the owner, but looking at the owner's embarrassed expression, Qingyu also saw it, and it was expected that he was not hired because he was here to try his luck, Qingyu thought for a moment and said to the owner: "Hey, what should I do." It's good to say that this errand will be given to your brother's relatives, I was originally here to try my luck. ”
Seeing that Qingyu was so generous, the pavilion owner was relieved, but he still felt sorry Qingyu took out five hangs of money from his arms and said to Qingyu: "This money is not much, you take it, and the old man will make amends for you." Qingyu shirked and said to the hall owner: "It's useless, it's hard to accept the money you give me." Seeing that Qingyu was not in a hurry, the old man said: "Son, don't you want to make the old man's conscience difficult for the rest of his life?" The owner of the pavilion said it to such an extent that Qingyu had no choice but to accept five hanging money.
The owner of the museum sent Qingyu to the door and apologized repeatedly, but Qingyu had to tell the owner again that he was not in the way. Qingyu didn't have a long distance from the library, and when he looked back, he still saw the owner standing at the door and watching him leave, and he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. When Qingyu's figure was too far away to be seen, the owner and the old man looked at each other, and each of them held on to a door and closed the door together.
Tossing around in the library for a morning, Qingyu felt a little hungry, so he found a porridge shop and prepared to eat something. stepped forward and was blocked by a group of officials in official uniforms, and the head catcher led by him took out a portrait of unknown origin and compared it to Qingyu's face, recognizing the appearance, regardless of the indiscriminate shackles on Qingyu's neck.
Disaster fell from the sky and Qingyu shouted: "My lord, I am wronged. Are you catching the wrong person? The head catcher said: "If you are wronged or not, we will know in the first instance that you have entered the prison cell, and there is no need for you to make a loud noise here." The onlookers didn't dare to step forward when they saw the yamen arresting people on the street, but they just pointed at the distance. Yan Yong was walking slowly on a horse on the street at this time, and he heard the shouts from a distance.
Riding on a tall horse, he saw from a distance that the figure of the captured man was very similar to the person he wanted to "protect", so he rode towards this side. When the distance was close, he saw that the person who was locked by the shackles was Qingyu, and Yan Yongyong immediately stepped forward to block the way of the yacha.
was blocked from the way, and the yacha stepped forward and shouted at Yan Yong: "Where did the people dare to block the yamen to do things, hurry up and get out of the way." Yan Yong took out the big inner waist card from his arms and handed it to the head catcher, who saw that the waist card was suddenly half shorter, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if the adult drives the small person to die." ”
Yan Yong pulled the head catcher aside and said, "Let this person go." The head catcher said embarrassedly: "The little one is embarrassed, the Jinyi guard is looking for this person everywhere, if the little ones are released, it will be over." ”
Seeing that these yacha were so unenlightened, Yan Yong had no choice but to take out the gold medal that Jin Ying brought to him before he left. Seeing the gold medal in Yan Yong's hand, the head catcher returned to the crowd without saying a word and said to the other yacha: "Caught the wrong person, you idiots." After speaking, he untied the shackles on Qingyu's body, and left the place in a hurry after constantly apologizing, and Yan Yong also rode away at the moment when Qingyu was released.
Seeing that people were put away, the onlookers were not lively, and they dispersed in a hurry, and Qingyu was sent by the yacha without thinking about anything, so he found his way back to Liu's mansion.
