Chapter Eighty-Seven: Make a Gambling Contract Again
Xiao An's original name was Zhou An, his mother died in childbirth when he was born, and his father depended on each other, his father was a tenant farmer of the squire Zhou He, a few years ago because he couldn't pay the rent, Zhou He's house slave was beaten badly, and he was bedridden and died in less than a month
In this way, Xiao An did the long-term work of the Zhou family, and he did it for eight years, and now he is not free.
Zhou He is stingy, and he treats Xiao An who doesn't need money even more harshly, scolds Xiao An Fei and scolds him, from morning to night, eats leftovers, and does tired and dirty rough work, which is exactly what he said: get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, eat worse than a pig, and work more tired than a donkey.
In fact, it was not his turn to care.
Xiao An was a little troubled in the past two days, the reason for his troubles was not that he had no money, because he was used to the days of no money, the reason for his troubles was that he was afraid of being exposed, and he didn't dare to spend it casually, for fear of being shown by the people of the Zhou family, the process of having silver was a bit bizarre, a stranger suddenly said to him a few days ago, as long as he cut off the broken bamboo at the door, he would give him one or two silver.
At first, Xiao An thought that the person was entertaining himself, but when the stranger took out a piece of broken silver, he hesitated to cut off the bamboo with a knife, anyway, it didn't take much effort, but he didn't expect that the person really gave him the broken silver.
Silver, Xiao An was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, and he carried the broken silver in his arms, for fear that it was fake, so he bit it several times with his teeth, and then confirmed that it was not wrong, but he didn't expect that two days later, the stranger found him again, and Xiao An felt that he was dreaming again:
Moved the flower plate in the courtyard, got five taels, secretly dropped Zhou He's clothes on the ground, and got ten taels, plus one or two of the bamboo cut in front, and suddenly there were as many as sixteen taels, sixteen taels of snowflake silver, Xiao An had never seen so much in his life, he was very excited, he found a reason to go out of the county, drank three bowls of mutton noodles beautifully, bought a few snacks that have been gluttonous, and secretly went into the kiln to find a woman to experience the taste of being a man, and his mouth was so happy that he smiled crookedly.
It feels good to have silver, although it cost three taels of silver, but Xiao An feels that it is worth it, and now what he hopes most is to continue to meet that stranger, no, it is the God of Wealth.
"Xiao An, go to the silk village and see if the Su silk I want has arrived?" Xiao An was sweeping the floor, and a woman with a playful dance suddenly appeared in front of Xiao An and said proudly.
In the Zhou family, the only one who can buy silk and Zhou He is willing to give up the silver is this new concubine, that is, the third lady of the Zhou family, Xiao An doesn't need to look up to know that the third lady is coming, and the whole Zhou family also likes rouge gouache, or the kind that is used a lot, and she smells a strong fragrance from afar.
"Yes, Third Lady." Xiao An immediately responded.
Buying things is much easier than doing housework, Xiao An immediately responded when he heard this, handed over the work to another subordinate, walked out quickly, and walked out of the door of the Zhou family without taking a few steps, and suddenly his eyes lit up: one was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, which was pressed down and covered most of his face.
Isn't this your own God of Wealth? Xiao An felt a stirring in his heart, and immediately ran up quickly and said with a smile: "Sir"
The geographical location of Long'an Province is special, it is said that there are more than 30 ethnic minorities, such as Qiang, **, Susu, Naxi, Bai, Miao, Dai, Tujia, Tibetan, etc., so people see ethnic minority beauties in different clothes on the street, and they are not strange, they are accustomed to it.
But today is a bit of an exception, many people frequently look at a woman dressed in Qiang on the street, with a beautiful face and a tall figure, she is originally a stunning beauty, and then after dressing up, it is even more glamorous, the beauty has a bit of the aura of ethnic minorities, it is a fresh and natural beauty, giving people the feeling of being like a beautiful and kind elf in the mountains.
This person is the Qiang Hutou village of Rida Muzi, this time she came to pay off the debt, a few days ago, she bought a white tiger skin here, only paid half of the silver, 6 Haoshan let her take the white tiger skin, this time she came, is to return the remaining fifty taels.
Although there was no contract between the two, only a verbal promise, the Qiang people kept their promises, and 6 Haoshan never urged, but Rida Muzi still came very consciously to return the remaining silver.
Rida Muzi took two guards and went straight to the county office, and opened his mouth to ask a servant guarding the door: "Hey, where is your official master?" ”
Seeing this beautiful Qiang woman talking to herself, the officer's eyes straightened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and stammer: "The big master went to the school to watch the training." ”
Absence? Hita Muzi frowned her cute little brows, pouted her good-looking little mouth and said, "Where is the school field for military training?" ”
Waiting for the official to point out the direction, Hita Muzi walked straight to the school with her guard.
He is a person who believes in his word, so he naturally wants to return the money and silver to me with his own hands and thank him in person, and it is still quite interesting to say that Han official.
Jiangyou is a small city, it didn't take long from the county government to the school field, and Rida Muzi quickly arrived at the school field where the soldiers were training, and it didn't take much effort to find the 6 Haoshan that was being inspected, in fact, it was also easy to find, the cyan official uniform stood out in the crowd, and there were a few Yatou behind it, but it was difficult not to attract attention.
"Han official" Rida Muzi smiled at 6 Haoshan and took the initiative to go up.
6 Haoshan was a little familiar with this voice, turned his head and saw a beautiful girl dressed in the Qiang tribe walking towards him, paused for a moment, and soon said with a smile: "Miss Yun'er, what kind of wind blew you here, I haven't seen you for some days." ”
6 After Haoshan knocked down Chen Gui, he met Yuan San selling white tiger skins on the street, and unexpectedly met this beautiful and generous Qiang beautiful girl, but that was before the tax, it had been more than two months, and she had been so busy with cramps recently, if she hadn't suddenly appeared, 6 Haoshan would almost not remember.
"Do you remember my name?" Hita Muzi said with some surprise.
"Of course I remember," 6 Haoshan said with a smile: "Your name is so special, and you look so beautiful, it's hard to remember it." ”
In other words, ordinary Han women, it is estimated that this sentence will be regarded as **, but for the open-minded Qiang girl, it is just a word of praise, and this word comes from the mouth of the Han official in the eyes of Rida Muzi, which is even more true and credible. ”
It's really straightforward, the word "like" came out of a woman's mouth, 6 Haoshan also froze, but he had a lot of experience in previous interactions, so he was relieved, and didn't answer her again, but said with a smile: "Miss Yun'er is a rare guest, I don't know what to do with me?" ”
Rida Muzi said with a serious face: "Last time I bought a white tiger skin, I still owed you fifty taels of silver, and today I gave you silver." ”
"Specially here to deliver silver? Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry, I'm not in a hurry to use this silver. ”
"That's not good, it's been delayed for so long now, it's really unfortunate, I wanted to pay you back a long time ago, but I didn't expect to suddenly have to pay a year's tax, in order to help those clansmen who can't pay taxes, I'm Abi took all the silver to the emergency, so I paid you back the silver this night, I'm really sorry." Rida Muzi said humbly, and at the same time stuffed a bag of silver into the arms of 6 Haoshan.
The Ming Dynasty implemented the Tusi system for ethnic minorities, the same to pay taxes, in accordance with the imperial court's orders to provide troops, etc., there is no preferential policy for later generations, this levy, not only caused a heavy burden on the Han people, but also had a huge impact on the ethnic minorities.
6 Haoshan gently threw away the silver in his hand, looked at the relieved little face of Rida Muzi, and then looked at the two guards beside her who were scattered with fierce colors, these two were the guards who protected Hita Muzi last time, a dark flesh, his eyes were bright, and he knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
Rolling his eyes a few times, 6 Haoshan quickly had an idea, pointed at the two guards of Rida Muzi and said with a smile: "Miss Yun'er, these two are your guards, small and thin, can you protect you with such a person?" ”
"County master, Ah Da and Ah Mao are very good at fighting, they can go into the mountains to hunt wolves alone, and clean up your three or five Han people as if they were playing, this is Abi guarding me, very powerful, don't underestimate them." Hita Muzi hurriedly corrected the name of her guard.
"Really?" 6 Haoshan shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, you see, your guards are much shorter than my Xiangyong, and it is estimated that one pick is enough, and you want to fight three of them, you are joking." ”
Rida Muzi had already seen the expressions of those so-called Xiangyong, and when he heard this, he pouted with some disdain and said, "Just them? One by one, the punches are weak, the lower plate is unstable, like a soft-footed crab, which one to say, by the way, it is useless. ”
6 Haoshan said with a disgruntled face: "Miss Yunhua, your words are too hurtful, so let's make a bet?" ”
"Bet?"
"Let my townsfolk compare with your guards to see if it's really as useless as you say."
Rida Muzi grinned and said a little slyly: "Yes, there is no color head, if there is no color head, I won't do it." ”
6Haoshan threw away the bag of silver in his hand and said, "Well, if your guards win, the fifty taels will be yours." ”
"What if I lose?"
"Then you can play the Qiang flute for me again, but this time you have to play three songs."
"Deal," Hita Muzi said very simply.
