Chapter 17: The Yellow Sparrow
When the fourth child went to the gold store in Fengze Building, he cried and called it miserable! A handful of snot and tears almost scared Chen Yueqi to death.
Chen Yueqi's face turned pale, and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
The fourth child cried: "Second young master, ...... The home was washed by the bandits! After saying that, he began to cry again.
Chen Yueqi was crooked, and after standing firmly, he shouted: "Don't cry!" ”
The fourth child's crying stopped abruptly.
After steadying again, Chen Yueqi began to ask about what happened.
Chen Yueqi is very different from his younger brother Chen Yuegong, the eldest brother is not there, Chen Yueqi is equivalent to the role of the Chen family, and he is extremely capable, while Chen Yuegong, because he is old and young, spoiled too much, he naturally became a loser and a white-eyed wolf.
After listening to the fourth child, Chen Yueqi closed his eyes and was speechless for a long time.
It was a quarter of an hour before Chen Yueqi opened his eyes. In just a few moments, his eyes were bloodshot.
was stared at by Chen Yueqi, and the fourth child's heart was trembling.
"Have you ever had a grudge with someone in your family lately?"
"Grudge?" After thinking about it, the fourth shook his head and said: "If you want to talk about grudges, that is, the matter of collecting rent and collecting taxes, this kind of thing must not be made so much trouble in any year." ”
The fourth brother is right, that is, Dad really forced the people in the village to be anxious, and those poor sticks were anxious, at most they did it themselves, and it was impossible to recruit bandits.
Qingyuan is attached to Guo County, and it is not as good as the surrounding counties, there are mountains, and there are plains everywhere, and there are no conditions for the existence of a large number of bandits, so there have been no large-scale bandits, at most they are tied up for a ticket or something.
Moreover, how many people will have to move so much food and livestock from the family?
It's weird.
Suddenly, the fourth elder said: "By the way, second young master, during the autumn harvest, the third young master almost killed the second child of the old Han family." ”
Chen Yueqi was taken aback and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The fourth child explained the matter in detail.
Chen Yueqi's brows furrowed, although this matter is not authentic at home, it will not have such a big hatred. What's more, the orphan and widow of the Han family, that kid is only sixteen years old and still in school, so he shouldn't have this ability.
After thinking about it, Chen Yueqi asked, "After that happened, did the eldest of the Han family come back?" ”
The fourth shook his head and said, "No." ”
Chen Yueqi asked, "Are you sure?" ”
The fourth said: "Definitely." ”
After thinking about it again, Chen Yueqi nodded and called a guy over and ordered: "There is a person named Han Lihong, who is studying in the Sixth Middle School, you go and inquire." ”
The man bowed and took the order to leave.
After the guy left, Chen Yueqi asked, "Does the third child know?" ”
The fourth said: "The third young master doesn't take care of things, I will come to find the second young master as soon as I enter the city." ”
For this younger brother, Chen Yueqi pinched the corners of his eyes and couldn't look at it, in peacetime, the two brothers had almost no contact, and he stopped mentioning it after he asked.
Seeing Chen Yueqi sitting on the chair with his eyes closed and pondering, the fourth child began to drum in his heart, he didn't expect this second young master to be so calm and calm.
Things had to be advanced, and after waiting for a while, the fourth child asked, "Second Young Master, should I go to the Third Young Master to have a look?" ”
Chen Yueqi's eyes didn't open, he just waved his hand.
The fourth child quietly retreated.
Coming out of the shop, the fourth child hurried to Chen Yuegong's house. Turning West Street, he didn't take a few steps, the fourth child's eyes lit up, and he saw a person.
What a coincidence, this person is Hei San'er.
Hei San'er's profession is flower tongue, that is, the middleman, but Hei San'er is different from the average flower tongue. He has a wide range of people, as long as it is related to **, his business scope is all-encompassing.
Hei San'er is in his forties, he is a fat man, with a solid shaft, and his face is black.
Hei San'er was originally also a bandit, but one leg was discounted, he was disabled, and he couldn't do bandits, so he made a living with his tongue.
The fourth child and Hei San'er are old acquaintances, and the two are cousins who have turned seven or eight corners, and they have also had several business contacts.
As soon as he saw the fourth child, Hei San'er smiled and said, "Fourth, why did you come to the city?" ”
I really want who to come, the fourth said: "Hei San'er, go." ”
Hei San'er said: "Where to go?" I still have something to do. ”
Lowering his voice, the fourth said, "Is your business a few hundred dollars of silver?" ”
Hei San'er's eyes immediately narrowed, and he said, "Let's go." ”
Turning around, the fourth child took Hei San'er into a secluded tavern.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was past dinner, and there was not a single guest in the tavern, just a shopkeeper and a young man.
The two sat down at a table leaning against a horn.
I haven't eaten a good meal in the past few days, and I'm hungry for a long time, so I ordered a pot of red stewed meat, a steamed pork, a fish, and a seafood soup.
Looking at the dishes ordered by the fourth child, Hei San'er scolded in his heart, but he was happy at the same time. The more expensive the food this old boy ordered, the more profitable the job is.
It's only a little past now, Hei San'er has just had lunch, and he is not hungry at all, he occasionally drinks a glass of wine on the side, and does not eat vegetables.
hugged him for a while, because he was in too much of a hurry, the fourth child burped, and sprayed foul smell out of his mouth, which made Hei San'er feel greasy.
Finally, the fourth child almost finished eating, and Hei San'er asked, "Fourth, what kind of work?" ”
The fourth child didn't squeak, he picked up a chopstick, dipped a little wine in the wine glass, and then made a "×" on the table.
× means to live or die, and to live or die means to be well paid; The high remuneration means that his rake is large.
Hei San'er's eyes lit up and asked, "Which side?" ”
The fourth child still didn't squeak, he drew a "two" on the table again, and then pointed to his heart.
Hei San'er was startled, lowered his voice to the lowest, and said, "Second Shao? ”
The fourth nodded.
Hei San'er raised his head and said, "I said the fourth, are you playing with me?" ”
Smiling, the fourth said in a low voice: "It's been washed, it's all gone." ”
Hei San'er's eyes widened in shock, and after a while, he said, "Really? ”
The fourth nodded and said, "Of course it's true, can I still make this joke?" ”
In an instant, Hei San'er understood the fourth child's plan, he stretched out the ten fingers of his right hand, drew three lines on the table, and then looked at the fourth child.
The fourth nodded again.
Hei San'er picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, then picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck, and drank it.
After drinking, putting down the wine glass, Hei San'er glanced at the fourth child and said softly: "I heard that it's a bit mixed." ”
The fourth laughed, shook the sleeve of his right arm, let the cuff handle block it, and then handed his arm over to the table.
It's the same with Hei San'er.
This was a common way to negotiate prices in business, and now they also use this way to negotiate prices.
During this process, the fourth child's expression remained the same, and Hei San'er's face was tense at first, but after a while, he showed a surprised expression.
After a while, the price was negotiated, and he took his hand back, and Hei San'er scolded: "I said fourth, are you too dark?" ”
The fourth said: "I'm not like you, this is my coffin book." ”
The two came out of the tavern, and after walking away, one of them came out of the side, looked at their backs, and then turned and left.
