Chapter 4 Running away
At the end of the Shen period, it was around five o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time when the major green buildings were about to pick up guests. And Jiang Xia had just finished drinking and eating with Han Yu at this moment, and at this moment, Han Yu was summoning all the servants of the Qunfang Pavilion, the big teapot and the turtle duke to announce Jiang Xia's promotion to Mr. Study.
Mr. Shufang is a transcendent character in Qunfang Pavilion, he doesn't care about anyone, but he is not under anyone's control, and is directly responsible to Kang's mother. If it's just that, it's not a big deal, and the reason why he is transcendent is because Mr. Study is usually the only person who can read and write, except for the two top Oiran and Kang's mother in the store.
Whoever has hair wants to be bald, and if the servants, the big teapots, the turtle princess and the girl in the Qunfang Pavilion were literate, no one would come here to do this errand that was criticized and looked down upon. Isn't it possible to set up a stall on the street and help others write letters on behalf of others?
This is really the sentence, "Everything is inferior, only reading is high." For example, the scholars on the street who help others write letters to their families will need 20 wen to write a letter of less than 500 words, and 10 wen to read a letter of less than 500 words. If there are more words, you have to increase the price, and you have to have a better attitude when you go to find someone, otherwise they will roll their eyes and throw you a sentence, "My ink treasure is not cheap so far, please do it." "And then I will ignore you.
It means "My words are not so worthless, what do you like?" And the study in the store is different. After all, it's his own person, usually as long as he serves with good words, he can write a letter to his family on his behalf, and he can write a little pen fee.
I heard that Jiang Xia was promoted to Mr. Study, and slept in the same room with him, and Zhao Yougua, the servant next to him who slept at night, couldn't help but say: "Master Han, this is not in accordance with the rules, Jiang Xia and I don't know the way, he can be Mr. Study even if he doesn't know a single word?" ”
Han Yu frowned, glared at Zhao Yougua and shouted, "Master, do you have the right to interject when I speak?" Also, who the hell told you that my Jiang brothers can't read big characters? ”
Han Yu's sentence "My brother Jiang" suddenly made everyone understand that Jiang Xia had climbed Han Yu's high branch, and now everyone's eyes when they looked at Jiang Xia immediately changed. Han Yu was about to scold Zhao Yougua for a few words, but Jiang Xia grabbed Han Yu's arm and said, "Brother Han, my brother was just a little servant before, but now that he has become Mr. Study, it is normal for everyone to be suspicious, don't be angry." ”
After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yougua and said, "Yougua, let me prove to you that I am literate, do you have any letters to give me, I will help you read them." ”
"Yes." Zhao Yougua immediately took out a letter from his arms and gave it to Jiang Xia, "I spent ten yuan to find Mr. Lu in Dongjie to read this letter, don't try to fool me." ”
Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head, took the letter, took the letter out of the envelope, shook it open, took it and swept his eyes twice, and then read: "There is Gua Wu'er, I hope everything is fine when I see the letter." A few days ago, my father has received the letter from you and learned that you are living a stable life in Shuncheonfu and becoming a father."
Jiang Xia read the letter to Zhao Yougua word for word, and then he raised his head and said, "Yougua, did I read it wrong?" ”
"God, so you really know how to read?" Zhao Yougua said with wide eyes.
Although he couldn't memorize the content of Jiang Xia Nian, he remembered that the sounds were exactly the same, so he was basically sure that Jiang Xia Nian's eight or nine were not far from ten. As soon as Zhao Yougua finished speaking, Han Yu couldn't help but scold again: "Waste your grandmother's words, can Brother Jiang, who is illiterate, be Mr. Study?" ”
Jiang Xia looked at Zhao Yougua and said, "Yougua, your father asked you to reply to him as soon as possible, why don't I write a letter for you now?" ”
"Now?" Zhao Yougua shook his head: "It's only seventeen, and there are still more than ten days before the monthly case, so I didn't polish it for you." ”
"It's just a few words, what do you want to polish your pen." Jiang Xia nodded at Huang Dayong at the counter, and Huang Dayong hurriedly took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it in front of Jiang Xia. Huang Dayong is the person who is responsible for collecting money in Qunfang Pavilion, but he will also count the money and write down the accounts, and he will be blind when he encounters more complicated words.
After taking the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Jiang Xia said to Zhao Yougua: "Yougua, you come to read and I will write, let's try to get it as fast as possible, don't delay everyone to start work." ”
"Good! Ok, good, good! Zhao Yougua nodded vigorously and began to recite, he wrote while reading Jiangxia, and cried when he read Zhao Yougua. He had so much to say, an old father and an old mother, two brothers and sisters-in-law, and three younger sisters in the family. But out of habit, he read: "I heard that the eldest brother broke his leg a few days ago when he went up the mountain to herd cattle, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao now." At that time, Zhao Yougua estimated that it should have been five hundred words.
Five hundred words is a threshold for the cost of family letters, Zhao Yougua didn't dare to read it anymore, he was afraid that if he read Jiang Xia again, he would have to ask him for money. Han Yu also lost his patience, originally he allowed Jiang Xia to write at this time just to prove to everyone that he was a person who could read and write.
Han Yu said: "Okay, okay, it's enough to help you write for such a long time and not charge you money, so I took the letter and stood aside." ”
"Yes, yes" Zhao Yougua carefully dried the ink, and when he was about to retreat to the side, Han Yu shouted: "Slow!" ”
He took the letter written by Jiang Xia for him from Zhao Yougua's hand, glanced at it, and praised: "Brother Jiang, you are so handsome in writing." ”
Although Han Yu is not very literate, he has finally seen a lot and can understand a little bit. Jiang Xia's family letter for Zhao Yougua uses Dong Qichang's Dong book, which pays attention to Zhongzheng Kaiping, which is a classic in regular script. This glance is pleasing to the eye, even for illiterate people.
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Let Brother Han see it, if Brother Han has any family letters to write in the future, just come to my brother as soon as possible, and my brother promises not to take a penny." ”
"Really? That brother thanked his brother first, Ha Lu Ha Ha "Han Yu showed his intimacy with Jiang Xia in front of everyone, so everyone knew that Jiang Xia was Han Yu's brother, and I believe that no one in Qunfang Pavilion would dare to bully Jiang Xia in the future.
Jiang Xia took the letter from Han Yu's hand and handed it to Zhao Yougua, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you still have something to say and come to me later, I will help you finish writing it, and there will be no additional charge." ”
Zhao Yougua looked at Jiang Xia, he didn't expect that he had questioned him just now and he was willing to help him, Zhao Yougua immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Xia a few times and said, "Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Jiang, Mr. Xie Lu." ”
"Eh, what are you doing here? Hurry up, I won't help you write letters if you don't get up again. Jiang Xia helped Zhao Yougua up as he spoke, and in just a short period of time, he had changed from Jiang Xia to "Mr. Jiang".
Han Yu saw that it was not too early, and the guests were almost coming, so he pointed to a few servants and said, "A few of you stay to help Brother Jiang move, and the rest of you will go and do your own work." ”
"Yes!" Everyone dispersed together, and then Han Yudian's servants stayed behind to help Jiang Xia move. Jiang Xiasheng became Mr. Study, so his residence was on the third floor of Qunfang Pavilion. In the past, there were only two people in the store who were qualified to live on the third floor, one was Han Yu, and the other was He Chaoxi. Now He Chaoxi has been expelled from Qunfang Pavilion with his broken leg, so Jiang Xia has lived in He Chaoxi's residence.
Just after moving, Jiang Xia was going to give everyone a few pennies as a hardship fee, but before he could give his hand, he heard a woman's roar: "Kang Qingyan, you slut, you get out of here!" ”
Hearing this, Han Yu's face immediately sank, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Oh my God, this shrew is here again." ”
"Vixen? Who is it? Jiang Xia couldn't help but ask.
Han Yu looked at Jiang Xia a little strangely, and he said, "You don't know the Dao, right?" Mother Li, the proprietress of Chunyi Building at the end of the street, her eldest brother is the governor of Shuntianfu, and he is the eldest master from Bapin, so we don't dare to do anything with her. I don't know how Lu Daokang's mother provoked this shrew this time, eighty percent of it was her girl who dug Li's mother again. ”
"Oh? Let's go out and see. Jiang Xia pulled Han Yu and walked to the front hall.
When I got to the passage door in the front hall, Kang's mother was hiding behind the door. Hearing the footsteps, Kang's mother was startled, and turned her head to see that it was Jiang Xia and Han Yu, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Mother Kang said to Han Yu: "Master Han, it's up to you to do this, go and get that shrew away." ”
Han Yu looked at Mother Kang with an embarrassed expression: "Mother Kang, I also know about this, her brother is Governor Li of Shuntian Mansion, I don't dare to be rude." Last time I went to pull her, she dug up several holes. ”
While Han Yu was talking to Kang's mother, Jiang Xia secretly glanced into the hall through the door. Fortunately, no guests have come at this moment, so only Mother Li is scolding alone in the hall. It's frightening, Mother Li really looks like a shrew, fat, ugly and short. A mouth is as big as a big soup bowl, and the eyes are as small as soybeans. The feet are short and round, like a leather ball.
At the moment, the content of her scolding is also very ugly, but it is generally repetitive. For example, "Kang Qingyan, you are a slut, you are a bitch who is a good person, and a slut who has suffered a thousand knives" and something like that.
Mother Kang was an Oiran when she was young, and she learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, where would she scold people, so she couldn't do anything with Mother Li at the moment, she said in a deep voice with a blue face: "Han Yu, you give the order, if anyone dares to take this shrew away, I will reward her with ten taels of silver." ”
Ten taels? Jiang Xia's eyes lit up when he heard this, he swallowed his saliva after observing it for a while and asked, "Mother Kang, it may be a little difficult to get her away, is it okay to scold her away?" ”
"Scold her?" Kang Qingyan suddenly became excited, she happily held Jiang Xia's hands and said, "If you can scold her, I will reward you with twenty taels!" ”
"Twenty taels?" Jiang Xia's breathing was slightly short, and he nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll just give it a try." ”
When Jiang Xia was about to leave the city, Han Yu pulled him by the hand, looking at Jiang Xia with a sad face like a soldier who had ordered him to go on the expedition and said, "Brother, be careful yourself." ”
Jiang Xia nodded heavily and said, "Big brother, don't worry." ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia was ready to go out. Suddenly, he saw Kang Qingyan with ink in his hand, he guessed that Kang Qingyan was going to sign a contract with someone, it seems that Kang Qingyan really dug up the other party's girl. Jiang Xia's eyes rolled and said, "Mother Kang, lend me a little bit of your ink." ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia didn't wait for Kang Qingyan to agree, so he wiped some of it in the palm of his hand with his hand.
Walking out of the door, Jiang Xia happened to hear Mother Li scolding: "Kang Qingyan, you slut, I'll fuck your grandfather." ”
"Hey!" Jiang Xia yelled and said, "Slut, who are you scolding?" ”
"Slut scolds you Qunfang Pavilion's Kang Qingyan!" Mother Li replied without hesitation.
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "It turns out that the slut is scolding our mother Kang, you can be regarded as self-aware." ”
"Ha Lu Ha" Hearing Jiang Xia's answer, the girls of Qunfang Pavilion and the workers who were still silent just now suddenly laughed at this moment.
When Mother Li heard this, she immediately understood that she had fallen into Jiang Xia's verbal trap, and she was furious and pointed at Jiang Xia's nose and scolded loudly: "You dog bastard, I'll fuck your grandfather." ”
Jiang Xia bowed to Mother Li and said, "Then I thank you for my grandfather Xie Lu, although you look like a pig, fat and ugly, but you are still younger than my grandfather, and getting along with my grandfather is not insulting him." ”
"Ha Lu haha" The people of Qunfang Pavilion laughed loudly again.
Kang Qingyan grabbed Han Yu's arm excitedly and said, "It's so good, it's really good, this Jiangxia is really a talent." ”
Mother Li completely went berserk, and at this moment she turned on the rampage mode, and her combat power soared to 10,000 points, no. At this moment, she instantly went crazy and scolded loudly: "You are a dead mongrel, triangular eyes, provocative ears, garlic nose, shoe rake face, give birth to a son without an asshole, and give birth to a daughter is a prostitute." I curse your whole family not to die well. ”
"You're a dead woman, pigs don't eat dogs, dogs don't gnaw, and cats are disgusted when they smell it. It looks like a pig at first glance, and it's better to look at it more closely than to look at it as well as a fucking fierce look. I really don't want to discriminate against you when you look like this, after all, this is the arrangement of fate, and it is the retribution you got in your last life for watching the injustice suffered by Uncle Wang in the bath next door, but I have to talk about you, why do you say you go out in the daytime? It's okay to say if you're scared, but what if you're scared of ghosts? Do you want your ghosts to be scared to death again?
You're embarrassed to say that I don't have an asshole when I gave birth to a son, don't you know that your own asshole grows on the door of your face? Do you know what you say about it? ”
Jiang Xia asked loudly at the people of Qunfang Pavilion, and the people of Qunfang Pavilion were curious and asked, "What is it for?" ”
"Because as soon as she came in, she spewed feces all over her mouth, if it weren't for her asshole and long face, how could she be so stinky? Oh, I don't want to say anything, I'm so close to you that I want to throw up. Jiang Xia made a look like he wanted to vomit.
Kang Qingyan was already excited, Jiang Xia's words made her suddenly recall the few orgasms in her life, she looked at Jiang Xia's scolding appearance, and couldn't help but sigh, how can she be so handsome? It's so unreasonable.
Jiang Xia, as the head of a thousand sects, can not only play elegantly, but also be proficient in vulgarity. He once played seven people by himself and deceived a wealthy businessman of more than 30 million, so a shrew like this scolding the street was just a drizzle for Jiang Xia. With Li's mother's vocabulary, she is only an apprentice level at best, and there is no way to compare with a grandmaster-level master like Jiang Xia.
Scolding is an art. Pay attention to the amount of vocabulary, the subtlety of creativity, scolding people to achieve clear language and progressive layer by layer, they are always stable and not sad or happy, and at the same time lead the onlookers to follow their own rhythm, so that the opponent is angry with the birth of one Buddha and two Buddhas ascending to heaven before stopping.
Mother Li kept panting, and for the first time in her life, she experienced what it was like to be angry. She was furious, and as soon as she recovered her breath, she shouted: "You dead bastard, you look for death!" ”
After speaking, Mother Li rushed towards Jiang Xia.
"Jiang Xia be careful." At this moment, the girls and workers on the second and third floors of Qunfang Pavilion shouted one after another, but unfortunately they were all late, and Jiang Xia was pushed by Mother Li and flew upside down. He spurted a mouthful of blood as he hit the ground, and then staggered to his feet with his face covered in blood.
Jiang Xia walked towards Mother Li with difficulty, and he said vaguely: "Don't go and kill people, you have to pay for your life"
"Ah!!h Mother Li screamed, and was immediately so frightened that she peed her pants, and she shouted loudly: "Don't come here, don't come here, help!! ”
After speaking, Mother Li turned around and ran outside Qunfang Pavilion, and tripped over the threshold without paying attention, and the fall was not light, but she got up and ran out of the door without thinking about it.
"Jiang Xia!" Kang Qingyan was startled when she saw Jiang Xia like this, and she hurriedly ran over. I saw Jiang Xia stand up straight, wipe the "bloodstains" on his face with his sleeve, and said, "Don't leave if you have the ability, let's scold each other for another three hundred rounds!" ”
Originally, the people in Qunfang Pavilion were extremely frightened by Jiang Xia's appearance, thinking that Jiang Xia was really seriously injured. But now, seeing Jiang Xia wiping the "bloodstains" on his face with his sleeves, they realized that Jiang Xia was pretending, and they didn't need to guess that Lu Dao's face was painted with cinnabar.
Seeing Kang Qingyan and Han Yu running over, Jiang Xia clasped his fists at Kang Qingyan and saluted: "Back to Mother Kang, Jiang Xia is fortunate to have returned triumphantly." The enemy was killed without leaving a piece of armor behind? What does it smell like? Exceptional"
Jiang Xia saw that there was an inexplicable pool of water where Mother Li was standing just now, and he added with a serious expression: "Well, the enemy is the most stubborn and has fled." ”
Kang Qingyan slapped Jiang Xia's chest with a smile and said, "It's beautiful, come to my room to receive the reward in a while." ”
"Xie Kang's mother's reward." Jiang Xia said with a smile.
At this moment, Han Yu shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, don't look at it anymore, each prepare to prepare, the guests are about to arrive." ”
At this time, I don't know who called out: "Jiangxia is good." Then the entire Qunfang Pavilion burst into thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.
Jiang Xia also smiled and returned the salute with fists around him. Someone once said that flowers and applause should be the eternal pursuit of men.
