Chapter 113: A Date at Seifuji
Sang Wazi said with a smile: "It's almost ready, hehe, my father said, let you rest assured, when the time comes, it will be sent over, and it can't be kept wrong." - Ouch, Uncle Zhu, why did the back of your old hand hurt? I'll get you the medicine! ”
"No, you don't! It's okay to have a little flesh injury, Lao Tzu held the boat back then, came and went in the wind and waves, and he was not afraid of death, but he was still afraid of this little injury? Right, I wish the old man. Shopkeeper Zhu looked at the medicine cabinet and said.
"Hmm!" Zhu Medicine Cabinet stroked his white beard and nodded.
Shopkeeper Zhu glanced at Zuo Shaoyang again, raised his voice, and said, "Tell your father, they accepted my silver, eighty taels of silver for white flowers!" If my little sister can't pass the door by then, I won't agree! Do you hear that? ”
"Yes, yes! You always put a hundred hearts! ”
"Reassured? Hum! I just don't worry about it, your little sister is a strong surname, the old man is a boater, he likes to sail in the wind and waves, Lao Tzu is not afraid of her fierce, no matter how fierce the lord, Lao Tzu also let her obey and lie down on her crotch! I'm afraid that there will be an accident in the next few days before I cross the door, so don't send a corpse to Lao Tzu when the time comes! ”
"Hehe, how can it." Sang Wazi glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, hesitated for a moment, put her head to the ear of the shopkeeper Zhu, and said in a low voice: "My mother has locked the third sister in the house, just wait for the day to send it to your house, and nothing will happen." ”
"Well, that's good, you have to watch carefully."
"Look, my father asked people to move almost everything in her house, there was nothing in the house except the bed quilt, and my mother also invited a few old mothers to stare at her day and night in the house, and by the way, she couldn't find death if she wanted to. Hehe. ”
Shopkeeper Zhu lehehe, brushing his beard, peeked at Zuo Shaoyang, and said with a smile: "It's almost the same, it's done, you also tell your father, the third girl has passed the door, she is from my Zhu family, and she will not treat her badly." ”
"Yes, my father and mother also said that the shopkeeper Zhu has a good heart, although the third sister was small in the past, she will never suffer."
"That is, as long as she's obedient. Hey, hey, hey" Shopkeeper Zhu stroked his beard with his bloody hands, laughed very proudly, and didn't take a peek at Zuo Shaoyang.
Zhu Medicine Cabinet frowned, also glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, and said to Zhu Shopkeeper: "Zhu Laohan, I have endured it for several days, I have to talk about you if I think about it, you old boy is a lot old, and he still eats tender grass?" Those seven tigers in your family aren't enough for you to toss? Besides, Sang Laohan, a few of us guys who supported the boat together in the early years, you have now taken in other people's daughters to be small, don't you think it's too ...... What is lacking in virtue? ”
Shopkeeper Zhu didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I lack morality, it's their father and mother who are pestering me to pay for their daughters to enter the room!" I wish the old man, the three girls are good, they suit my appetite, and when I was drunk that day, I said it casually, and they took it seriously. He wants me to pay a hundred taels of dowry. Of course I don't, and my money doesn't fall from the sky. However, you have also seen it in the past few days, the two of them have been grinding their teeth in my ears, I only paid fifty taels, and one hundred taels is too expensive for me, but the two of them, grinding in my ears every day, and I don't know where to find two rich people, here to discuss the matter of accepting three girls into the house, one out of sixty taels, one out of seventy taels, I don't know if it is they spent money to invite the trust. Sang Laohan's mother-in-law is a broken mouth, and she keeps talking about this in my ear, as if I am going to be lower than them, and I will be covered by others and lose face. Get! Spending money to buy a quiet place, I paid eighty taels before I gave this thing. ”
"Eighty taels, just spoil other people's yellow daughters?"
"This is called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, you don't care!" Shopkeeper Zhu was not ashamed but proud, and said with a smile: "Do you know that they are in a hurry to give their daughter to me, what to do with this money?" -- The shopkeeper who lent money to Mi Xing! I warned them that the shopkeeper had borrowed money from everywhere, but he could not afford to pay it back when the time came. The two of them didn't listen, and persuaded me to lend money to the shopkeeper Qu if I had extra money, saying that there would be five cents of interest. I said I wouldn't do it even if I had a lot of money. Unstable! ”
Zhu medicine cabinet ignored him, and said lightly: "When will you pass the door?" ”
"The day after tomorrow, looking for the fortune teller Zhang Blind Zhang Banxian said that he would enter the door at noon the day after tomorrow. Good luck. Hey hey"
Zhu Medicine Cabinet shook his head: "You guys, tell me what is good for you!" Alas, I don't bother to care about your idle business, but you also heard that the three girls are locked in the house, and the other girl's daughter seems to refuse to follow you. Why do you bother with the overlord? Twisted melons are not sweet! ”
Shopkeeper Zhu grinned and said: "You are wrong about this, I wish the old man, my old Zhu, I still like twisted melons, so it tastes good!" Hey. ”
"You lack virtue, you! Don't kill anyone, I'll see how you clean it up! ”
"That's why I'm going to explain to them, don't have an accident before you pass the door, after you pass the door, don't worry, I have a way to deal with her. Let me tell you, you can't be a strong woman, and of course you can't be soft, you have to be soft and hard. Enwei and use! At the beginning, when I accepted the fifth concubine, it was not, looking for death and life, I gave her a dismount first, and the overlord broke her with a bow, leaving her hopeless. Then put her under house arrest, served with good tea, good food, good wine and good meat, and asked for warmth during the day, taking care of everything, and stalking her at night, making her believe that even if she wanted the stars in the sky, I would take them off for her. This person's heart is flesh and blood, and when she sees that I am really good to her, hey, this heart is soft, and now, like a pug. Hehe, conquering a fierce woman, that feeling is called cool! ”
Zhu medicine cabinet took a sip angrily: "You old nymphomania." Don't tell me these disgusting things......"
Zuo Shaoyang listened to what the shopkeeper Zhu said, as if he had swallowed a fly, and wanted to know what was going on, so he listened quietly, couldn't help it, reached out and fanned it in front of him, and said to the embarrassed Sang Wazi: "Oh, Brother Sang, there are flies behind you?" ”
"Huh? Where do the flies come from? "I wish the medicine cabinet to look around.
"No flies?" Zuo Shaoyang glanced at the shopkeeper Zhu, "How can there be no flies buzzing?" Disgusting to death! ”
Zhu was stunned for a moment, and regardless of the feelings of the shopkeeper Zhu next to him, he looked up to the sky and laughed. Shopkeeper Zhu was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he didn't dare to do anything, he didn't even dare to speak, he could only snort stupidly, pretended not to hear, and turned his head to look outside.
Zuo Shaoyang got up with the teacup and said to the medicine cabinet: "This fly is too annoying, I'm really not used to it, uncle, I'm leaving." He walked away with his teacup. Only the medicine cabinet was left with an uncontrollable laugh.
Zuo Shaoyang returned to his father Zuo Gui and told his father Zuo Gui that Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store had become the first business, Zuo Gui was also very happy to hear it, and he didn't want to delay his son's time to concoct medicinal materials, so he hurriedly drank the tea and went back to the pharmacy.
No one came to see the doctor so early, Zuo Gui's father looked at the pedestrians outside the door behind the long case, humming a little song in his mouth, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Zuo Shaoyang sat behind the counter full of worries, thinking about the words of the shopkeeper Zhu just now. I always felt that there was something wrong, it was not that the old couple of the Sang family sold their daughter as the concubine of the Zhu shopkeeper, but that there was something very wrong in this matter. I couldn't remember anything wrong for a while.
After thinking about it for a while, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he finally remembered what made his heart uneasy, frowned and thought about it again, got up and excused himself to go to the hut, and came out of the back door and through the alley, and came to Qingfeng Temple. It's still very secluded, and there's not a single figure left or right at the door. Only the faint sound of chanting in the temple.
The grass in front of the temple is full of rocks and weeds, and there is some garbage, which shows that the monks in this temple are lazy enough. Zuo Shaoyang looked left and right, picked up a dead branch from the ground, and stuck it in the grass.
This is the meeting mark he agreed with Xiao Feiji.
After making the mark, he clapped his hands, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and then trotted back to the pharmacy.
…………
When it was almost dark, it was time to get up.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly ate, excused himself to go to the thatched house, went out of the back alley, and came to Qingfeng Temple.
The incense of this Qingfeng Temple is very poor, and no one usually comes to incense, except for a few old monks who ignore people, almost no one comes, so it is very quiet during the day, let alone this time.
Zuo Shaoyang entered Qingfeng Temple, walked around, and didn't see Sang Xiaomei, so he sat on the stone bench under the locust tree at one foot of the courtyard and waited. A few old monks were chanting in the lobby, and the prolonged tone also had some rhyme, Zuo Shaoyang listened attentively, but he didn't understand a word, in the end, it was like a mountain. However, listening to the sound of chanting scriptures is very calming and calming.
When Zuo Shaoyang was listening attentively, he was gently patted on the shoulder, and then he came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, it was Sang Xiaomei's sister-in-law Huang Qin. Hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Sister-in-law Qin!" ”
Huang Qin beckoned him to sit down, looked left and right at no one, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what I asked you to do here?" ”
"You called me? Isn't it a little sister? - Oh, by the way, she locked her mother's house and couldn't get out. Right? ”
"Hey, how do you know?"
"Listen to what Sang Wazi said to Shopkeeper Zhu, this old boy from Shopkeeper Zhu just showed off proudly, saying that he was going to marry his little sister after three days, is it true?"
"Yes, you know that it's best to keep me from talking. This shopkeeper Zhu discussed with my father-in-law and mother-in-law to accept my little sister as a child. The father-in-law and mother-in-law asked for a bride price of 100 taels of silver, and at the beginning the shopkeeper Zhu didn't do it, and he couldn't stand the mother-in-law's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he promised to make a bride price of 80 taels of silver and accept the little sister as a concubine. The father-in-law and mother-in-law told the little sister, but the little sister refused to live or die, and the mother-in-law ignored her, so she locked her in the house. After preparing for three days, it will be sent to Zhu's house. Xiaomei threatened that if she was forced to pass the door, she would die! The parents-in-law still ignored it. So, my little sister asked me to come to you and ask you for one thing. ”
"What's the matter? If I can do it, I will do it. ”
"I thank you for her, it's not difficult, just help her get some medicine."
