Chapter 22: Don't give up
A person stepped forward, Wang Dong struggled to stand up, but found that the person turned out to be Qigong.
"Seven Princes?"
Qigong looked at Wang Dong and frowned: "Why did you come here?" If he hadn't appeared in time, Wang Dong would have suffered even more.
As soon as Wang Dong spoke, there was a hot pain on his face, and it was obvious that those sticks also fell on his face, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm here to find Liu Er." ”
"That Liu Er who lives with you?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll call him for you."
With that, Qigong turned around and left. Leaving the gatekeeper, looking at Wang Dong here, he was still vigilant. In fact, Wang Dong's beating could have been avoided. As long as he goes to the main gate of the Wang family during the day and reports to the servants guarding the door, there will not be so many things.
Now that it is like this, it is also related to Wang Dong's impatience.
I didn't sleep all night, and I finally stayed up until dawn, and he couldn't wait for even those hours or two.
Wang Dong's back, chest and arms were scorchingly painful, and he was beaten this time with a strong sturdiness. Waiting quietly on the side, his eyes swept to the doorkeeper on the side, and there was not much hatred in his heart.
You must know that such a thing, if it was in his previous life, according to his character, he would definitely die and sue the other party until he went to jail.
But after being reborn, Wang Dong's heart has changed greatly, and his arrogance is still there, but his arrogance is gone.
"Wang Dong, are you okay?" Liu Er's voice came, and he was very concerned when he saw Wang Dong being beaten like this.
Wang Dong smiled and shook his head: "It's okay." ”
"You two make a long story short!" After the two gatekeepers finished speaking, they turned and stood aside, and seemed to understand the principle of not seeing and listening to incivility.
When the gatekeeper walked away, Liu Er asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?" ”
Wang Dongyan said: "I have something very important and need the help of the second brother Liu. ”
Seeing Wang Dong's serious face, Liu Er said, "What's the matter?" As long as I can help, I will do my best. ”
"I want to borrow some money from you."
"How much?"
"The more the merrier."
Liu Er thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Okay, you wait for a while, I'll go back when I go." ”
After speaking, Liu Er turned around and left, and the whole conversation process was very simple. But Liu Er didn't ask Wang Dong what he was borrowing money for, because he believed Wang Dong. Watching Liu Er leave, the set of rhetoric that Wang Dong had prepared before was all useless.
"It seems that I am overthinking." The corners of Wang Dong's mouth rose, and for the first time, he felt that the people of Datang were so cute.
After about a stick of incense, Liu Er's figure came from a distance, but there was already an extra burden on his hand.
When he came closer, Liu Er looked at Wang Dong and said, "These are my little savings in the past few years, you can take them." ”
"Thank you." A thousand words, at this moment, can not describe Wang Dong's gratitude, I can't imagine that this Liu Er and him have only been friends for a few days, so he is willing to put his savings in his hands.
"Don't say that." Liu Er smiled, "Anyway, this money, put it here for me, it's useless." ”
"Liu Er, come over and help fetch water." There was a call in the distance, apparently calling Liu Er to return to his post.
Liu Er pulled his throat and replied, "Okay, I'll be here soon." Then, he turned to Wang Dong and smiled, "Fu Bo called me, I'm going back to work." As he spoke, Liu Er put the burden in his hand in Wang Dong's hands.
Wang Dong nodded: "I will pay you back this money as much as I can." ”
Liu Er smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." With that, he turned and walked away.
……
On the way out of the palace, Wang Dong's mood was as heavy as the burden in his hand, and he felt the preciousness of friendship.
The people of Datang, if everyone is as kind and mellow as Liu Er, it is no wonder that the country can be rich and the people strong and dominate the world.
The money that Liu Er lent to Wang Dong was a string of copper coins, and it was estimated that there was about the same amount. How much was money worth in the Tang Dynasty? For ordinary people, it is a lot of wealth, enough to buy a house and land.
It's just that there is too much money, so it's a bit cumbersome, Liu Er's burden is about three or four kilograms, and it's really inconvenient to go out to buy things with so much money.
With these copper coins on his back, Wang Dong started his procurement journey again, but these copper coins made him move slowly.
"Hey!" A crisp call came, Wang Dong turned around, but found that the little lady of the Zhang family was standing behind her.
"You're not dead?" She had finished her work, and had been waiting for a long time next to this pharmacy, and she expected that Wang Dong would come here.
Wang Dong carried a heavy copper coin on his back, came to the little lady, and said, "Such a coincidence, you are also here." ”
"Why, it's inconvenient for one person to take so many things?"
Wang Dong nodded awkwardly, and the little lady of the Zhang family smiled slightly and said, "Wait a minute." With that, he turned around and walked towards the side alley, and after a while, a wooden cart was launched, "Hey, put everything on this, and it won't sink so much." ”
"Thank you!"
Wang Dong's heart was hot again, he thought that this little lady had been completely disappointed in him yesterday, and he didn't expect that today, she would come to help him again. Liu Er, the lady of the Zhang family is so dedicated to helping herself, what reason does he have to give up?
"What are you waiting for, hurry up and start buying what you need."
"Good!"
Wang Dong's confidence is bursting, and with the help of so many people, he believes that he will definitely succeed.
So, Wang Dong and Zhang's lady began to push a wooden cart to buy the materials they needed in Jinyang City, but when they came to the grain store and needed to buy the most important "flour", they ran into trouble - the grain store had no flour to sell.
This news was really a bolt from the blue, like a basin of cold water, which was poured on Wang Dong's head in an instant.
"Shopkeeper, you help, we really need flour." The lady of the Zhang family begged bitterly.
The old shopkeeper said helplessly: "Two, we really can't do anything, the flour in the store has really been sold out." ”
While speaking, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the store, and the red carriage, decorated with palatial decoration, was specially used for the children of rich families to go out to ride. On the carriage, the door curtain was opened, and a soft wattle slowly stretched out, and then, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Wang Dong.
"Is that her?!"
The person who came, not someone else, it was the third lady of the Wang family, Wang Mengyao, who is also the current person in charge of this Jinyang rice grain store.
"You know her?" The lady of the Zhang family, seeing Wang Dong's surprised expression, asked in a low voice on the side.
Wang Dong's gaze has always been on this Sanniang, and that kind of temperament is not possessed by all the so-called obvious ones in the 21st century.
"Sanniang." The old shopkeeper respectfully saluted her.
Meng Yao bowed slightly, her eyes slid over Wang Dong and the lady of the Zhang family here, and then asked softly, "The grain, is it all sold?" ”
"Yes."
"Well, then close the door." A sigh, mixed with infinite helplessness.
"Come on, load the rest of the things into the truck and pull them back to the house." The old shopkeeper on the side greeted the guys, and then saw a few guys drive out of a truck, and then carry bags of rice grain into the truck.
Seeing this situation, the little lady of the Zhang family was angry, and scolded the old shopkeeper: "Didn't you just say that there is no food to sell? Why now, again? ”
"This little lady, these are for us to keep, and we can't sell them for our own use." The old shopkeeper patiently explained.
"I don't believe it!" The little lady said, "Anyway, I don't care, we must buy noodles today." ”
"We really ......"
"Quan Bo." Meng Yao shook her head at the old shopkeeper, then turned around, came to the little lady, and asked, "This little lady, your family, is it really so short of food?" ”
"No, it's not that my family is short of food."
"Why is that?" Meng Yao frowned, expressing puzzlement.
The little lady of the Zhang family stretched out her finger and pointed at Wang Dong and said: "Because, he wants to use flour and invent fritters." ”
"Churros?" For this word, Meng Yao obviously heard it for the first time, and was very curious, so she turned her head to look at Wang Dong, "I don't know what it is?" ”
The four eyes met, and Wang Dong lost his mind in an instant.
