Chapter 41: Playing with a Big Sword in Front of Guan Gongmen (I)

There are additions from the previous chapter, so you can go back and take a look.

----------

Two days later, the "Jin Fu Ji Pawnshop" was officially opened in a burst of firecrackers, two big red lanterns were hung high in front of the pawnshop, and even the store sign was wrapped in red silk, draped in red and hung with color, jubilant, a group of children jumped and jumped around the firecrackers, and the old seven men would scatter the copper coins out, provoking the children to fight for a while.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Huangfu's brother's new store opened. ”

"Rejoice! Rejoice! Wu Dongzhu came to the small shop in person, and the small shop was full of brilliance! Quick, please sit inside, Lao Qi, lead Lord Wu Dong in, and entertain him carefully. ”

Huang Fugui is wearing a big red shopkeeper robe today, wearing a new octagonal fortune hat, his round body looks rich, his face is full of light, and he is smiling to welcome visitors from all over the world.

Zhao Dong of Zhao Ruixiang Spice Store carried a gold-painted gift box in his hand and walked up with goose steps.

"Congratulations to Brother Huangfu on his opening!"

He carried the gift box in his hand, hugged his fists and saluted, and specially shook the gift box to make a loud noise, and it was full of the beautiful sound of copper coins.

"It turned out to be proprietor Zhao, we haven't seen each other for a year! It seems to be even more blessed! ”

Huang Fugui laughed, this Zhao Dongzhu has a son who works as a clerk in the county government, and he is a fourth-class official, so he is arrogant all day long, looking down on this, looking down on that, Huang Fugui hurriedly pulled the owner Zhao Dongzhu and introduced his son to him: "Zhao Dongzhu, this is the dog Zhongyong, the county government tax department Cao is on duty, please take care of it in the future." ”

"Oh! Is it a clerk or a clerk? ”

There are two kinds of public servants in the yamen, one is the official, and the other is the tolerance, just like the later political axe organs are inside and outside the establishment, the tolerance is the official service, the personnel outside the establishment, and there is no status.

The officials belong to the formal civil servants who eat the emperor's grain, and they are divided into four classes, the higher the rank, the greater the authority, like the head of the six major families, that is, the first-level official, but the household Cao is particularly important, so it is half a step higher than other directors, and is jokingly called the threshold official, that is, one foot has stepped into the ranks of officials.

Huangfugui's son entering the county government is not a tolerance, but an official, he smiled triumphantly and said: "Small role, fourth-class official." ”

Zhao Dongzhu was in awe, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "It's disrespectful, Huangfu's elder brother Tiger Father has no dogs, Ling Lang is a talent!" It will be a great thing in the future, hehe! This is a little bit of my heart, to celebrate the opening of the new store. ”

He shook the gift box loudly, for fear that others would not know that it was money, Huang Fugui despised it in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Come on, what do you want to do as a gift, Zhao Dongzhu is too polite, please, please inside, Lao Qi, lead Zhao Dongzhu in, and entertain him." ”

.........

Huang Fugui sent out more than 100 invitations, and finally more than 80 guests came, all of whom were old friends of Huang Fugui for decades, with congratulatory gifts and congratulations, they appeared in front of the pawnshop one after another from early in the morning.

The pawnshop was so busy that he was sweating profusely, even Huang Fugui's wife and son came out to help, Huang Fugui took his son Zhong Yong to greet the guests at the door, and Luo Xiucai gave full play to his mouth skills, chatting and drinking tea with the guests, which attracted bursts of laughter from the guests from time to time, although Luo Xiucai's reputation was a little not good, but at this time, who would care about such a trivial matter!

Huangfugui's wife was responsible for boiling water to make tea, and even Luo Xiucai's wife came to help boil water.

Of course, Wu Jin is an exception, no matter how busy the pawnshop is, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, he never reluctantly does what he doesn't want to do, he doesn't force himself, then others can't force him.

Huang Fugui and his son greeted the guests at the door, but Wu Jin stood by the bridge not far away with his back to watch the swimming fish in the river, looking leisurely and complacent, Huang Fugui pretended not to see it, but his son Zhong Yong couldn't stand it anymore, pulled his father's clothes, and snuggled Wu Jin with his mouth, which meant to say, 'How can he do this?' ’

Huangfugui smiled bitterly and said, "He is only seventeen years old, and he is still young!" ”

Any reason is more convincing than this sentence, Zhong Yong couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to go, Huang Fugui understood better than anyone in his heart, this was actually Wujin didn't want others to know that he was the big proprietor of this pawnshop, he could go elsewhere to drink and play, but he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't leave the shop, so he stayed here, he told him last night, a little worried that the Huang family would come to make trouble.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Lao Gui for fulfilling his wish for many years and opening a pawnshop by himself. ”

A few guests walked down from the bridge, their voices were very loud, and they shouted more than a dozen steps away from the store, so that Wu Jin couldn't help but glance at him, the person who came was a man in his early forties, wearing a moon-white samurai robe, burly, with a pair of copper bells and big eyes, with a lion nose, looking quite imposing.

This person has never been seen by Wujin, but the two entourages behind him are carrying a box of congratulatory gifts, and they are also wearing a moon-white samurai robe like the master, the difference is that there are words printed on the robe, a vibrating character in the front, and a Wei character in the back, which is a bit like a tolerance uniform.

Looking at the big characters printed on the clothes of the two entourage, Wu Jin knew who this man was, the proprietor of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and also the head of the dart.

In the Daning Dynasty, just like opening a security company in later generations, it is necessary to have a little official background, 'chivalry and prohibition by force', the Daning Dynasty strictly forbade the martial arts sect, what Shaolin faction, Wudang faction, Emei faction, etc., are all things that are only available in later novels, at least the Daning Dynasty did not, but the Jianghu sect has it, and it has not been banned since ancient times, such as the Jianghuai Cao Gang, the Salt Gang, the Tea Gang, etc., these are all combinations of private interest groups, just like the trade unions in Europe and the United States in later generations, spontaneously organized, not controlled by the government, There is a dock gang in Weiyang County, which is very famous in the country.

The dart bureau is different, it is a professional martial arts, which needs to be strictly filed in the government, and every practitioner must be registered, and the dart bureau can use prohibited weapons such as knives and spears, so every weapon of the dart bureau must be filed in the government, and the proprietor of the dart bureau must also have samurai qualifications.

In addition to the dart game, there is also a martial arts hall is the same, of course, these are the martial arts stores that are regular merchants, the kind of black market knife sellers, underground outlaws, and thug assassins, as many as cattle hair in the Daning Dynasty.

Zhenwei Dart Bureau is the largest dart board in Huaiyang County, with a good reputation, ten years for the guests to dart, never lost the goods, in this line of reputation enjoyed.

Dong advocated domineering and grew up naughty with Huang Fugui since he was a child, and the two had a deep friendship, and the last time he opened a gambling game, he sent someone to help.

Huangfugui's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stepped forward and arched his hand: "Old lynx, didn't you say to let your son come?" How did you come by yourself. ”

"I just took over a business, and the lynx took a few brothers to the capital, so I had to come, what, do you think I have a lot of food, and you are poor?"

"I don't think you're eating too much, I'm afraid you'll scare my guests away."

Zhang Badao laughed heartily, "Where is this, I will give you face no matter how much I will give you today." ”

He punched Zhong Yong again, and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, go to my dart game to practice martial arts, you look like a bean sprout, I feel uncomfortable every time I look at it, I'll say it first!" My little Ping'er doesn't like you like this. ”

Zhong Yong likes Zhang Xiaoping, the domineering daughter of Zhang, the two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and they both recognized each other, at this time Zhong Yong didn't dare to talk much, only scratched the back of his head and smirked, trying to leave a honest and honest impression for the future father-in-law.

Zhang Badao is also joking at will, but his pair of copper bell eyes are looking around, he glanced at it, and finally saw Wu Jin by the river, this is the real purpose of his coming today, his subordinates told him that Huang Fugui has a nephew who is the mastermind behind the last betting, and the relationship with the new Su Thorn is not ordinary.

The most important thing in doing the dart bureau is to have a good relationship with the government, Zhang Badao has a very good relationship with the county government, and he has a good relationship with Zhao Sima of the county government, and he can drink the kind of friendship of flower wine together, but the newcomer Su Tingshi He has no way to approach, he heard that Wujin and Su Tingshi seem to have a relationship, so he paid attention.

"Quick! Send a congratulatory gift in. ”

Zhang Badao waved his hand, and the two apprentices carried the congratulatory gift and Lao Qi into the pawnshop, and then a few more guests came, and Huangfu Gui smiled at Zhang Badao: "I don't care about you, you go in and find a place to drink tea by yourself!" ”

"You're busy, I'll take a walk at will."

Zhang Badao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, walked around, and unconsciously came to Wujin's side, "Brother, it's early!" ”

Although Wu Jin is the nephew of Huang Fugui, Zhang Badao did not dare to sell the old, Wu Jin also nodded, and said with a faint smile: "Zhang Dongzhu is early!" ”

"Oh! Do you know me? ”

"I've heard Ma Sangui talk about it, so I know."

Ma Sangui is the leader of the dart game who came to help in the last betting, and he is also Zhang Badao's apprentice, Zhang Badao laughed, "Those bunnies, what bad things did you say about me?" ”

"They say that Zhang Dong is chivalrous and righteous, and there is nothing in Weiyang County that is not praised."

Wu Jin's attitude is still lukewarm, although Zhang Badao seems to meet him very casually, but Wu Jin obviously feels that this Zhang Badao is deliberately close to himself, although he doesn't know his intentions, but Wu Jin's experience in his previous life tells him that he can't afford to be unprofitable, Zhang Badao deliberately approached him, there must be some kind of intention.

"Where has my brother been in high school for the past two years?"

Zhang Badao went around in circles to test Wujin step by step, and he couldn't say, 'How did you know Su Tingshi?' This is too unlevel, he is the proprietor of the dignified Zhenwei Dart Bureau, so he naturally wants to inquire around the corner.

"What a high level do I have! Zhang Dongzhu lifted me up, wandered around outside, and ate with a mouthful of food. ”

The sophistication of Wujin and his age, which by no means matched, made Zhang Badao secretly scream, but he was more interested, and he reluctantly probed: "I heard your fifth uncle say that you were sent to Qizhou by your grandfather seven years ago, I don't know where it is in Qizhou?" ”

Zhang Badao had already heard that Su Tingshi was from Donglai County, Qizhou, if Wujin was also in Donglai County, Qizhou, then he would have guessed a thing or two.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jin laughed and said, "There are many places to stay in Qizhou!" I don't even remember exactly, I was young. ”

Wu Jin said vaguely and refused to say it explicitly, which made Zhang Badao a little disappointed, this kid was too slippery, he was still unwilling, and wanted to ask again, at this moment, Huang Fugui called him, and his voice was still a little frightened, "Domineering!" Overbearing! ”

As soon as Zhang Badao turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned, only to see more than 20 ruffians coming up from all sides.

"Yo! Newly opened, begging for a mouthful, wishing the wealth to roll, making a fortune every day, well, reward the brothers with a little wine money! ”
