Chapter 9: The Fifth Uncle's Thoughts

Not long after Wujin left, Zhao Shengnan rushed back violently, the horse went crazy, almost didn't kill her, the bones all over her body were like falling apart, sore and painful, but the anger in her heart made her unable to take care of the pain in her body, she wanted to settle accounts with that bastard, she was going crazy, from childhood to adulthood, when did she suffer from this kind of wretchedness, along the way, she thought of dozens of ways to torture that bastard.

The carriage was still parked on the side of the road waiting for her, but the bastard crew was nowhere to be seen, Zhao Shengnan looked around, but did not see Wujin, so he turned around and asked Su Yi: "Where did that guy run away just now?" ”

Su Yi blinked and asked timidly, "Sister Shengnan, which guy?" ”

"It's just.... It's the bastard who told you the story, who else but him? ”

"Oh! You mean Brother Saburo! ”

"It's him, he's... Where did it go? ”

"Hmmm! Let me think about ......"

Su Yi pretended to think about it, and suddenly laughed, "I remembered." ”

"Tell me, where has he gone?"

"I remember, he seems to be going to sea, he must be going to the docks! provoked Sister Shengnan, can he not run? ”

"Sue, don't lie to me?" Zhao Shengnan looked at Su Yi with a questioning expression.

Su Yi smiled and said, "If Sister Shengnan doesn't believe it, forget it." ”

Zhao Shengnan saw her leather whip in the stinky ditch at a glance, she hated it so much that her teeth itched, turned the horse's head and ran towards the dock.

"Sister Katsunan, aren't you going back?"

"Go back first! I'm not going to stop until I catch that bastard. ”

........

Zhao Shengnan chased to the dock, but Wu Jin leisurely entered the county seat, walked for a quarter of an hour, and saw the Huangfu Ji pawnshop, looking inside the pawnshop from the outside, the light seemed very dark, and he couldn't see the situation clearly, but Wu Jin saw the fifth uncle Huang Fugui busy behind the counter, at this time, Huang Fugui also saw him when he looked up, and hurriedly beckoned to him: "Wu Jin, come in!" ”

Wu Jin walked into the pawnshop and saw that there was not a single guest in the pawnshop.

"Fifth uncle, business isn't too good today!"

"Hey! Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. ”

Huangfu Gui was like a fat marmot, got out from under the counter, grabbed Wu Jin's arm and smiled: "Let's go to the back room to talk." ”

The back room was a lounge, and the two men were sitting on a chair chatting, and when they saw the shopkeeper coming in, they jumped up in fright, and quickly nodded and ran out.

"You two bastards! Dare to be lazy and deduct your wages for half an hour. ”

Huangfugui scolded and scolded, turned around and poured tea for Wujin, and said: "You have to remember, you can't be polite to these guys, if you are polite, they will be lazy, and they are likely to lose a few big businesses. ”

"The fifth uncle just remembers, it makes no sense for me to remember this, by the way, what is the fifth uncle looking for me?"

"Don't you know?"

Huangfu Gui looked at him in surprise, "Didn't Wei Ming tell you?" ”

"Tell me what?"

Wu Jin scratched the back of his head, a little confused.

"Tsukuyu's business!"

Wu Jin's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong with Zhuoyu?" ”

Huangfugui pursed his lips and seemed to disdain Zhuoyu, "That kid was jealous with others in the courtyard, and he was broken by others, and his future was broken, and his grandfather has decided to let Weiming replace him to run for the head of Hucao, although it is only a candidate, but it has actually been decided, and now the second child will be miserable, the chicken and egg are beaten, the money is given away in vain, and the future of the son is also lost, haha!" ”

Huangfugui smiled very happily, Wu Jin saw that everyone did not doubt himself, so he was relieved, then he remembered one thing, and asked him again: "Fifth uncle, I really can't remember some things in the past, can you tell me, what disaster did I have at the beginning?" ”

Huangfu Gui is not strange at all, this nephew of his has not been able to remember things since he was a child, and it seems that he is still a hollow big radish, not much better.

"Alas! Seven years ago, you were ten years old, but you ...... here."

Huangfugui pointed to his head, "But it's the same as a four- or five-year-old child, so everyone calls you a fool, and I don't know who instigated you, you actually burned down the ancestral hall of the family, and talked nonsense, saying that your brother is not the Huangfu family, and the head of the family was angry, so he sent you to Qizhou, and let one of his drunkard friends strictly control you, and this is seven years." ”

Wu Jin knew the inside story of being sent away, it turned out that he burned the ancestral hall of the family, no wonder his grandfather was angry, and no one could stand it, but he vaguely remembered that it was Zhuoyu who set the fire, and in the end he was caught holding the torch, hey! What a stupid two!

Just about to ask again, a man's shout came from outside: "Shopkeeper, someone is a big deal." ”

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

Huangfugui said to Wu Jin: "You sit down first, I'll come right away, and there is important news for you." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and ran out, "Guest officer, what do you want to be?" ”

Wu Jin leaned against the door with his hands crossed, and the smugness in his heart made the smile on his face couldn't help but bloom, how beautiful he was today, he knocked down the big brother's roadblock with a stick, and the bastard's thigh bone was broken, and he had to lie down for at least two months, how could there be a head of Hu Cao who was lying on a stretcher and took office? I don't know what kind of expression my eldest brother will have when he hears the news? Surprised, he was still so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he imagined what his eldest brother would look like when he heard the news.....

He was thinking wildly, and at a glance he saw another person enter the lobby outside, and the lobby suddenly became lively.

"Huh! Luo Xiucai is here, are there any latest officialdom secrets? ”

This man named Luo Xiucai is a middle-aged man who seems to be very familiar with the fifth uncle, and he can speak well, and there seems to be a lot of gossip.

"There is an interesting news, do you know, it is said that the relationship between the new Su Tingshi and Zhang Xianling is very tense."

Wu Jin suddenly heard Su Hanzhen's news, and his ears immediately pricked up, and he listened carefully behind the door curtain.

"Oh? How do you say this, isn't Su Thorn New to the History? Why did the relationship with Zhang Xianling stiffen? ”

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with their background in the capital! Anyway, Su Tingshi went to inspect the countryside of Weiyang County, and the local officials all accompanied him, but this Zhang County Order ignored it, and everyone said that Zhang County's Order was giving Su Tingshi a dismount! ”

"Don't talk about this, it has nothing to do with our small people, is there anything wrong with Xiucai?"

"I have a good night pot here, how much is it worth?"

.......

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Huang Fugui walked in again, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained: "Let me go to big things, you have to exhaust me to death." ”

"The fifth uncle can let his subordinates do it! Do everything yourself. ”

"Alas! You don't know, your grandfather ordered that from today onwards, all the businesses of the Huangfu family must be careful, and beware of the other five families from sending cold arrows to us from behind. ”

Wu Jin smiled and shook his head, "I think my grandfather is a bit of a soldier, how can the pawnshop harm us and set us on fire?" ”

"Ahem! You don't know this, there are many famous people in the pawnshop! For example, the year before last, a thief stole the official seal of the Pinghu County Order, and gave it to the Ma Ji pawnshop, the horse shopkeeper was good, but he just liked to be greedy and cheap, he saw that the official seal was made of silver, so he collected it at a very low price, I estimated that he wanted to melt the official seal to make ingots, but the official seal was not hot, the official government came to the door, this is miserable, the horse shopkeeper was arrested, the pawnshop was also forcibly closed by the government, and the reputation was ruined, so the heart of defense is indispensable, at this time we must be extra careful, which family will come to harm us, Ruined our reputation, and let our Huangfu family lose the election of the head of the household. ”

Wu Jin nodded, the fifth uncle made sense, and he asked with a smile: "What did the fifth uncle say just now that he told me something important?" ”

Huangfu Gui patted his head, "I almost forgot again, that's the case, the head of the family wants you to take care of the warehouse of our Huangfu family on the dock, and let you be the second manager, with a monthly salary of six taels of silver, how about it, are you interested?" ”

Wujin's least favorite thing in his previous life was to work for others, so he chose a freelance job to be his own boss, he was already lazy, and now he wants to let him work to earn wages, so he doesn't have this interest!

He immediately shook his head, "Not interested! ”

Huangfugui was stunned, he didn't expect Wujin to refuse so simply, you must know how many clansmen in the warehouse steward have broken their heads to fight to go, he actually refused, what a fool!

"That'..... What are your own plans? ”

"Fifth uncle, I want to ask, is the family allowed to do things by yourself? For example, I opened my own store or something. ”

"This ..... Absolutely, there are no restrictions in the family. ”

Huang Fugui suddenly reacted, looked at Wu Jin and said in surprise: "Wu Jin, do you want to do things yourself?" ”

Wu Jin smiled and asked him, "Don't you want the fifth uncle?" ”

The expression on Huangfugui's face was a little unnatural, why didn't he want to, he got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, desperately running a pawnshop, the pawnshop could earn thousands of taels of silver a month, but he himself only had twenty taels of silver per month, and the rest of the money had to be handed over to the family, the name seemed to be the family's, but in fact, the second child was owned by himself, he spent money lavishly, and he didn't know how much money he spent on his stepwife alone.

In the past few years, in order to curry favor with the other emperor, he has spent at least tens of thousands of taels of silver on him, which can be explained as being for the sake of the family, but his son Zhuoyu is a complete loser.

Huang Fugui has a friend in the capital, last year once wrote to him to tell him that the second son Zhuoyu spent a lot of money in the capital, he liked to find a famous brand girl, there is a name in the capital called Xiao Fenglan, in the capital can be ranked in the top five, a night of meat gold at least three hundred taels of silver, and the loser actually wrapped her for a month, this incident caused a sensation in the capital, a month is 10,000 taels of silver! Where does his money come from?

This incident made Huang Fugui's heart extremely unbalanced, he had a little savings, and he had long wanted to be the proprietor, but he couldn't erase the face of the family, at this time, Wujin simply refused to do things for the family, and aroused Huang Fugui's heart, but unfortunately the capital was not enough!

Although he had an idea in his heart, he wouldn't tell the second fool in front of him, what was the use of telling him, as an elder, he was more concerned about what Wujin was going to do?

"Wu Jin, do you have any plans?"

"I haven't thought of it yet!"

Wu Jin smiled, "Let's take a look at the market first." ”

He has earned dozens of taels of silver as a seafarer for half a year, enough for him to use for a few months, he has just come to this other world, people and places are unfamiliar, he needs to understand it well, before he can finally decide what to do?

At this time, two more guests came in the pawnshop, and Wu Jin got up and said goodbye, "Fifth uncle, you are busy, I'll leave first." ”

He just walked to the door, but suddenly saw the tomboy Zhao Shengnan's face full of anger, just passing by the door, he hurriedly flashed, hid behind the door, and waited for the sound of horses' hooves to be far away, he slowly walked out.

Huang Fugui was embarrassed when he saw him on the side, and he couldn't help laughing, "What, have you offended this female killer?" ”

Wu Jin smiled helplessly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, just because I said she was a tomboy, she started to trouble me." ”

"No wonder! She hates others to call her a tomboy, in fact, she is not a bad person, and she often helps the poor when she is in a good mood, but she is short-tempered, whoever provokes her a little, immediately turns her face, and her six relatives do not recognize it, and last time she even joked with Zhang County, she was scolded by her. ”

Wu Jinyi frowned, "Who is she?" ”

The people in the room couldn't help laughing, that Luo Xiucai shook his head and sighed: "Brother, you didn't even know who she was, so you offended her, you really died unjustly, she is the baby daughter of Zhao Sima of our Donghai County, you will call her Miss Zhao in the future, and the next time we meet, compliment her is delicate, like a flower-like Miss Zhao, she promises not to be angry with you." ”

"Forget it, I don't pay attention to her, you are busy, fifth uncle, then I'll go first."

Wu Jin walked out of the pawnshop, Huang Fugui suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly followed behind and shouted to him: "Hey! Wu Jin, the head of the family has arranged a room for you, and you can go to Steward Liu. ”

"I know, thank you Fifth Uncle!"
