Chapter 7 Congratulations on the birthday of the Li Mansion

For Deng Haonan to speak differently, Yan Siyu and everyone are no longer unusual, and they all think that this is the demeanor of a master and it should be taken for granted.

Looking at everyone's admiring gaze for a long time, Deng Haonan finally got embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic: "Miss Yan, are you satisfied this time?" ”

"Satisfied! Very satisfied! Yan Siyu's eyes were full of admiration, and he said at the moment: "Deng Gongzi talks extraordinary, every time he is unexpected, Siyu needs to rely on Gongzi a lot in the future!" ”

Deng Haonan smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite to me!" You are the boss, I am a part-time worker, you just need to pay me on time! ”

Yan Siyu said with a smile: "Deng Gongzi is really good at laughing!" However, Siyu will definitely not owe you wages! ”

Deng Haonan shook his head and said, "Don't call me Deng Gongzi, I'm just an ordinary farmer!" I can't afford to be called that! You just call me Haonan! ”

Yan Siyu said: "Now even that Yang Hu calls himself a son, he is just a businessman's son, but you are a farmer, a farmer, a farmer, and you are two miles higher than a businessman!" Worthy of the title of son! But how? I call you Haonan, don't call me Miss anymore, just call Siyu directly! ”

After speaking, Yan Siyu suddenly felt that his face was a little red, but fortunately, with a veil, Deng Haonan couldn't see it, and he was embarrassed at the moment.

Deng Haonan secretly said in his heart: This Yan Siyu is really a character, and he is worthy of being mixed up with the chief scoop of the Twenty-Eight Brothers Alliance, and he will be so enveloping! However, at present, Deng Haonan has no money, no power, and no strength, so he can only rely on her as a big backer first. smiled at the moment: "It's up to you!" But don't forget the promise to pay me a thousand taels of silver first, we are very poor now, and we urgently need this money to support our family! ”

Yan Siyu saw that Deng Haonan would be the same prodigal appearance as before, and immediately smiled: "Could it be Haonan, do you have any difficulties?" If you don't tell Siyu, Siyu can also help you come up with ideas! ”

Deng Haonan waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary!" Actually, it's nothing! Because I now live in a grass house and eat wowotou, I naturally urgently need silver to improve my life! ”

Yan Siyu sneered, and said in his heart, this person is also straightforward, what do you say! But isn't that exactly what you need? Honest, talented, and humorous, it's the first time I've grown up so much to talk to someone so easily. At the moment, he said: "In this case, if I take you to meet Li Ping first, I may not always be here in the future, if there is anything you can tell him!" ”

Deng Haonan nodded and said in his heart: Although I know the big boss (Yan Siyu), I still have to have a good relationship with my boss (Li Ping), right? At that moment, he left the gunpowder field with Yan Siyu and went straight to the Li Mansion.

※※※

Entering Li Ping's mansion for the second time, Deng Haonan's mood was completely different. The two guys at the door who were repaired by Deng Haonan once, saw Deng Haonan and Miss Yan coming together at this time, and immediately came up to greet each other with a smile, nodding their heads!

If there is no deep hatred, Deng Haonan is not a person who cares. These two janitors, the one who was smashed was called Cheng Er, and the other panda-eyed one was Li San, just by looking at the name, they were all from poor people's families, and Deng Haonan didn't bother to remember their grudges.

Entering the Li Mansion, it was already full of lights at this time, up and down, and the servants inside and outside were busy with Li Ping's 60th birthday.

What a style! is worthy of being the big boss of Beiyu Town, and the wealth of the entire town is probably concentrated in his house, and it is a mansion.

Looking around, the patriarchal system of the Ming Dynasty with "rites" as the core, respecting "respect and inferiority and order, and distinguishing between inside and outside", is fully reflected in the courtyard of the Li Mansion. The layout of the courtyard house of the Li Mansion is three rooms in the north room, and there is a partition in the house, which is divided into one light and two darkness or two light and one dark. There are two rooms in the east and west wings, and three rooms in the south room (also called the inverted seat), all of which are tiled houses with lying bricks to the top and ridges. The family lives in the courtyard, the parents live in the main house (north room, upper room), the younger generation lives in the wing room, in the use of the east and west wings, the eldest son lives in the east wing, that is, the left side of the main house, and the second son lives in the west wing, with the left as the top. The south room is used as a living room or study. There is a brick-paved cross road in the courtyard, leading to the east, west, north and south houses, and there are steps in front of the house, and the gate is in the southeast.

At this time, Deng Haonan could only see the first quadrangle, because the Li Mansion was a three-entry courtyard, and the three square quadrangle courtyards were connected together to form a rectangular residence. The second gate of the courtyard of the Li Mansion is a sign of distinction between the inside and the outside, and the female dependents of the family live in it. Later generations said that "the gate does not go out of the two doors", which refers to this gate.

In the Ming Dynasty, the length of the mansion was called the depth, and the size of the official position and the weight of the power were all in the depth of the mansion. The larger the official, the more courtyards there are in the mansion. On the other hand, the deeper the mansion, the more powerful the family, and the person with the deepest courtyard in the Ming Dynasty is the emperor Lao'er.

The construction of the courtyard is very particular about feng shui, from the selection of the site, positioning to determine the specific scale of each building, it must be carried out according to the theory of feng shui, especially the door of the courtyard must be opened in the southeast corner. This courtyard house in the Li Mansion was the residence of the former county order, but at this time it was occupied by Li Ping, a merchant. Its decoration, carving, and painting are not bad, and it also reflects folk customs and traditional culture everywhere. For example, the pattern composed of bats and longevity characters means "happiness and longevity", and the pattern of the moon season flower placed in the vase means "peace in the four seasons", and the auspicious words embedded in the door tube and the door, and the pillar couplets attached to the eaves pillar, are full of strong cultural atmosphere and wishes and prayers for happiness, peace, fortune and treasure.

For Deng Haonan, it is not unreasonable that the courtyard of the Li Mansion is a shrunken Beijing city, or that Beijing City is an enlarged quadrangle. Both are rectangular in comparison, both emphasize the symmetry of the axis, both are different from the inside and outside, and the division of the gate and the wall reflects the function of each area, so it seems that the imperial city and the palace city can also be regarded as a courtyard house. The emperor in the palace alone counts, for the men, women and children of the Li Mansion, Li Ping is their heaven. All the people of the Ming Dynasty could not get rid of that rule and box -- the Three Principles and the Five Constants.

followed Yan Siyu straight into the second courtyard, at this time Li Ping, who received the report of the next person's flight, hurriedly came out to greet him, and when he saw Yan Siyu and Deng Haonan coming together, he was stunned for a moment, presumably thinking that with Deng Haonan's identity as a Baiding, how could he be with Miss Yan. However, the old man's city was very deep, and he hurriedly bowed to Yan Siyu and said, "Knowing that Miss Yan is coming, Li feels very honored, and I will welcome Miss Yan Haihan!" ”

Yan Siyu cupped his fists and saluted back, saying: "Uncle Li doesn't have to be polite, Siyu is entrusted by the eldest brother to congratulate Uncle Li on his birthday, and I wish Uncle Li good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan!" ”

"Good, good!" Li Ping laughed heartily, the wrinkles on his face were piled up like a city wall, and he said happily: "Thank you for the concern of the leader of the general alliance, and borrow Miss Yan's auspicious words!" ”

Then he made a posture that he had just seen Deng Haonan and asked, "This son looks at the face, I don't know what it is-"

Yan Siyu hurriedly introduced Deng Haonan to Li Ping and knew him, and told Li Ping about Deng Haonan's test before.

Yan Siyu said happily: "Bei Zhen is really an outstanding person, first out of the old man Li and other heroes, and now there are outstanding talents like Deng Gongzi, if the eldest brother knows, he must be very happy!" ”

Deng Haonan was confused when he heard this, this Yan Siyu is obviously the younger sister of Yan Siqi, the leader of the Twenty-Eight Brothers Alliance, and her power is huge! And this Li Ping, Deng Haonan learned from Wanshu's mouth that he was just an inconspicuous little pirate, how could he work so hard? Could it be that this Li Ping is not as simple as it seems? Deng Haonan suddenly fell in love with him!

Just when Deng Haonan was thinking about it, he only heard Li Ping say: "The leader of the general alliance is eloquent and domineering, with the assistance of young lady, coupled with Deng Gongzi's talent, the great cause can be achieved!" ”

Deng Haonan saw Li Ping mention him, and immediately clenched his fists like Yan Siyu, and saluted Li Ping: "The kid has just arrived, and he didn't prepare any gifts!" Just now, Miss Yan rewarded the next 1,000 taels of silver, since it is the 60th birthday of the old man Li, I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, and gave the 1,000 taels of silver to the old man as a congratulatory gift for the younger generations! ”

As he spoke, Deng Haonan took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets that Yan Siyu gave him just now from his pocket. This is the "Ming Treasure Banknote" stamped with the seal of the Ming Dynasty! According to the price level at this time, that is the hard-earned income of ordinary people in a lifetime! Although Deng Haonan was very reluctant in his heart, he really had nothing else to honor his "boss" at this time.

Oh yes, that's it! Deng Haonan felt a chord in his heart, since Yan Siyu was respectful to this old man, then he simply pressed himself again! Anyway, now that I have a job with money, I don't need to eat for a few more days.

"Ahh Yan Siyu snorted, puzzled by Deng Haonan's actions, and asked at the moment: "Didn't you say that you don't want to eat wowotou anymore, and you urgently need this money to improve your life?" ”

Li Ping had actually inquired about the whole thing a long time ago, and there were only a thousand people in Beiyu Town, where was there anything he didn't know. At the beginning, the sons of the Yang family and his subordinates mentioned to him that Deng Haonan was suddenly resurrected, and learned to cast cannons and make gunpowder. Li Ping didn't believe it at all, and only after seeing Yan Siyu bring him back did he believe it. However, this resurrection from the dead is already an earth-shattering thing, and now Deng Haonan has suddenly learned to cast cannons and make gunpowder, which is really incredible!

At this time, after Li Ping heard Yan Siyu's words, he was immediately impressed by the young man in front of him who looked like a turtle. If it is an ordinary person, even if it is a wealthy person, it is impossible to take out the thousand taels of silver and give it directly as a gift. Especially Deng Haonan's family is surrounded by four walls at the moment, and I heard Yan Siyu say that he is still eating wowotou, in this case, it is impossible for anyone to take out this silver. However, it was this inconspicuous young man in front of him, who seemed to regard money as dung.

Could it be that he has some ulterior motives? The experienced Li Ping naturally wouldn't believe that Deng Haonan gave him silver without asking for anything. However, in Li Ping's view, this person lives in the world and cannot live without social communication. Since you have to struggle in society, this kind of thing is indispensable.

At this time, Deng Haonan respectfully handed over a thousand taels of silver tickets to Li Ping with both hands, and sang and shouted: "May the year be a good day for Chen Qianqiu, and I wish the old fortune of the family from sixty to a hundred years of life!" ”

Can it be exported? Li Ping's eyes tightened suddenly, and his originally divergent gaze suddenly converged and shot towards Deng Haonan's eyes.

That's not the look a teenage boy should have! Li Ping had actually decided in his heart that Deng Haonan was not the original Deng Haonan, but Li Ping still didn't dare to be sure of this kind of unbelievable thing. Looking at Deng Haonan's eyes, there was no trace of hesitation and apprehension, and the experienced Li Ping secretly praised in his heart - the future life is terrifying!

Li Ping laughed, looked at Deng Haonan with admiration on his face, and said, "Okay! The child can be taught! The old man has read countless people in his life, but this time he has seen it away! Unexpectedly, after Deng Gongzi went through this catastrophe, he had been helped by heaven and man, not only with fine skills, but also with a temperament better than in the past! In the future, he will definitely be able to get ahead and be crowned a wife and son! ”

Deng Haonan is still calm on the surface, but he has made waves in his heart. It is said that at the age of fifty, he knows the destiny of heaven, and this Li Ping is now in the age of sixties, and it is reasonable to be able to see through a trace of heaven. However, it was for himself, if he could see through the luck of others, he would be a great person. However, Deng Haonan looked at Li Pingren as his name, just an ordinary old man. Could it be that he really responded to that sentence - ordinary pregnancy is magical!

At the moment, he said humbly: "The old man has won the award, the kid is not familiar with the world, and the old man needs to mention more Haihan in the future!" ”

I really can't see through him! Yan Siyu on the side looked at Deng Haonan attentively, and his heart was also full of waves. Deng Haonan just now was still a little gangster who regarded money as his life, but at this time, he changed to a gentleman who spent money, had a humble face, had good manners, and was gentle and elegant.

At this time, under Li Ping's instructions, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion took the one thousand taels of silver tickets in Deng Haonan's hand, and immediately shouted: "Haonan, the son of the Deng Mansion in Beiyu Town, congratulates him on his birthday!" A thousand taels of silver! ”

Deng Haonan listened to a pain in his heart, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the fact that this silver ticket couldn't be torn apart, Deng Haonan would never have taken it out all at once! However, I hope that I have won the bet this time, with Li Ping's net worth and Yan Siyu's care, I believe that he will not be too badly treated. I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf, and now I am lonely in Beiyu Town, and it is better to have Li Ping as a backer!

After the housekeeper finished singing and drinking, he immediately said: "Master, let's ask Miss Yan to talk to Deng Gongzi's inner hall!" ”

Li Ping nodded, and said to Yan Siyu and Deng Haonan: "Miss Yan, Deng Gongzi, let's talk later!" This way, please! ”

Yan Siyu seemed to see that Deng Haonan was not very willing to give up the 1,000 taels of silver tickets in his heart, and when he walked by Deng Haonan's side, he laughed quietly by the way: "Aren't you distressed?" ”

Deng Haonan nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head. Yan Siyu immediately glared at him with her smiling and talkative eyes, "You deserve to go home and eat your nest!" She tapped him on the shoulder and left with a smile.

In fact, Deng Haonan was thinking in his heart at this time, if his wife Wanshu knew that he had given away a thousand taels of silver like this, I don't know if he would complain about him! Hearing Yan Siyu say this at this time, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and said secretly: There is "etiquette" to go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without "etiquette", how can it be that you, an ugly woman, can experience?

"Hey! Wait for me! Seeing Yan Siyu walking away, Deng Haonan hurriedly chased after him.
