Chapter Twenty-Five: Trapped
Hu Ye left Yueyue's vegetable stall in embarrassment, he felt that Zhu Di's sentence that people in Beiping are now living happily is a lie, didn't he see that Yueyue's hair had become rough because of malnutrition. So Hu Ye decided to find a time to talk to Zhu Di, with the current state of Beiping, not to mention that Zhu Di is difficult, even stable development is a problem.
No matter what Hu Ye thinks, these simple old Beijingers think that Hu Ye is extremely haode. So Hu Ye walked all the way, and someone sent things up. There are those who send rice, some who send fish, some who send eggs, and some who send pork. Hu Ye felt that he was still very popular, but there were too many things, so it became a problem, just three pairs of hands, how much could he take.
When drowsiness comes, someone will send a pillow, which is Hu Ye's favorite, because when he has a headache and too many things, someone will send a car, and generously say, "This is also for you." β
Hu Ye feels that the folk customs in Beijing are so simple and simple, and they are not at all as philistine as they are in the 21st century. Pushing the cart forward, Hu Ye suddenly felt that he didn't miss the 21st century so much, and it was actually quite good to stay in the Ming Dynasty.
It's good to have a car, and Hu Ye and Saren's hands are free. In fact, not only their hands are free, but even their feet are free, because they are now sitting in the car. Naturally, Lao Qian became a coachman again.
"Young Master Ye, the people here are so good, they have given us so many things, they are enough for us to eat for a long time." Sitting in the car, Saren looked at the car full of things and said excitedly. The sugar gourd in his hand hasn't been eaten yet, but it seems that there is only one zuihou left, and he has been licking and licking in his mouth, but he is reluctant to eat it. She was afraid that if she swallowed it, she would never be able to taste it again.
"Yes, they're all good people." Hu Ye also sighed, and then watched Saren lick and lick the sugar gourd, and couldn't help laughing. I remember that when I used to buy popsicles to eat, I was like this, and I was reluctant to eat them, but when I got home, I found that the popsicles had become a puddle of water, and I was secretly sad for a long time.
"Silly girl, eat it if you want, let's buy it after eating. Buy a lot, a lot, buy it for you, buy it for everyone. Hu Ye said with a smile.
"Ah, Young Master Ye is so good." Got Hu Ye's promise, Saren enjoyed swallowing a jujube very much, and licked it again and again with his tongue, which was very aftertaste.
"Old Qian, when you see where there are sugar gourds for sale, stop and buy all his sugar gourds." Hu Ye said to Lao Qian, Hu Ye suddenly felt that he was like those nouveau riche in later generations, and he felt like a local tyrant.
"Okay, buy sugar gourds." Lao Qian shouted loudly, he felt that this young master was decisive and kind enough, and it was absolutely right to follow him.
There are a lot of sugar gourds sold in Beiping, and Hu Ye's car only walked less than a mile before he met three wheat sugar gourds. So Hu Ye bought all the sugar gourds of the three of them in Saren's expectant eyes.
"Although the sugar gourd is good, don't be greedy, be careful of getting worm teeth in the future." Watching Saren greedily eating sugar gourds, Hu Ye joked.
"Yes, Young Master Ye, I'll just eat less in the future." Saren shouted the sugar gourd in his mouth, held the sugar gourd in his arms, and said inarticulately.
Hu Ye just shook his head helplessly, and after satisfying this little girl's desire, Hu Ye went to buy something by himself instead.
The first thing is to solve the problem of being often patted on the shoulder, Hu Ye doesn't want to leave a callus on his shoulder in the future. Now that he is so close to Zhang Fu's house, if he doesn't make some preparations, his shoulder will definitely be patted by Zhang Fu. So the shoulder pad came into being, as the name suggests, it is something that protects the shoulder.
Actually, this thing is very simple, but buy two embroidery needles and install them on two wooden boards. The embroidery needle does not need to be long, only the tip of the needle is exposed as long as a grain of rice. However, when Hu Ye came out of the place where he sold embroidery needles, he ushered in many strange eyes, including Lao Qian's contemptuous eyes.
Lao Qian felt that Young Master Ye's glorious image was all ruined by this embroidery needle, how could a dignified man fiddle with the embroidery needle, those should be the things that the woman's family did. However, Saren doesn't see it that way, she thinks that Young Master Ye is right to do everything, even if he is a female celebrity, he will be the object of his worship.
Hu Ye ignored Lao Qian's contemptuous eyes, thinking that his pants were rotten back then, and he didn't use embroidery needles to sew and mend them. What's wrong with the man's embroidery needle, the woman's can dance with a knife and a gun, but the man's family can't do the embroidery needle.
Hu Ye took out a Swiss Army knife from his pocket, picked up a wooden plank, and split it in half. Then the embroidery needle is clamped in the middle, and the planks are tied together with a thin thread, and then a simple shoulder pad appears. Hu Ye put it on his shoulder, he was wearing a lot of clothes now, and the wooden board was very thin, and the embroidery needles were very short, so the shoulder pads could not be seen on the shoulders.
Hu Ye couldn't help but imagine the scene of Zhang Fu patting his shoulder, as if he had seen Zhang Fu's painful expression, so he laughed evilly.
Saren thought that Young Master Ye was so charming at all times, especially when he had hysteria, those eyes were very charming, although Saren couldn't understand what Young Master Ye's smile meant.
Lao Qian despised Hu Ye even more, and he should be happy to be like this if he made such a play, but he found that Hu Ye's knife was quite haode when it came. So when Hu Ye was suffering from hysteria, he borrowed it and looked at it, it was very sharp, sharper than all the knives he had used.
It's definitely a good baby, so Lao Qian really wants to ask for this knife. I thought that Hu Ye was very easy to deceive when he had hysteria, but Hu Ye resolutely rejected Lao Qian's proposal, saying that this knife was his family heirloom and could not be given away.
After solving the shoulder problem, Hu Ye felt that it was time to solve the problem of the plaque. This is a faΓ§ade problem, so Hu Ye spent five taels of silver to customize a huge plaque, but it will not be delivered until three days later. Hu Ye was not in a hurry, so after paying the deposit, he took Saren and Lao Qian to continue to walk in other places.
Xiaoqiang stretched out his head at this time, because he found that the eldest brother seemed to be in a good mood now, so he roared twice, the meaning was obvious, just like thinking of Saren's arms, which was too soft.
Hu Ye was very angry, how did this little pervert get it, now he is so nostalgic for other people's girls' breasts, if he waits for others to develop, wouldn't he have to go to the ground. However, Hu Ye thought about it, Xiaoqiang is going to grow up, or he won't be able to hug it for a long time. So after Hu Ye's permission, Xiaoqiang jumped into Saren's arms very happily and rubbed in Saren's arms affectionately.
"White-eyed wolf, you can enjoy it, you will look good when you go back." Hu Ye looked at Xiao Qiang, who was not reserved at all, and smiled evilly. Because he decided to train Xiaoqiang in hell, otherwise he would really become a dog in the future, which Hu Ye did not want to see. When I first kidnapped it, I didn't think about it as a pet dog, but as a wolf.
Xiaoqiang was very jealous of Hu Ye's sly smile, and knew that his good days were coming to an end, so he curled up in Saren's arms tremblingly, hoping that his eldest brother would let it go.
So in Xiaoqiang's very frightened eyes, Hu Ye bought a big rooster. Hu Ye thought about buying hens and going back to train Xiaoqiang, although Xiaoqiang would not be hurt in this way. But the hen is too docile to help the training, and it can't help Xiaoqiang recover a little wildness.
The rooster is different, it is so aggressive that even vicious dogs dare to fight. Although Xiaoqiang is likely to be pecked by a rooster all over his body, Hu Ye thinks that Xiaoqiang, who can't even clean up a rooster, is not qualified to be his brother.
Hu Ye really wanted to buy a glass jar and go back to raise the bird-eating spider, but after walking around many streets, he couldn't find anyone selling glass jars. Only then did I realize that the glassware of the Ming Dynasty was still a rare item that only those high-ranking officials could afford, and these small markets could not appear. So Hu Ye could only settle for the next best thing and bought a cage made of bamboo, with a small mesh to ensure that the bird-eating spider could not climb out.
As for the spider's food, Hu Ye really wanted to buy a bird to eat for it, but the bird was too expensive, so he could only buy a few chickens to go back, and it was estimated that one chicken would be enough for that food for a month.
Hu Ye thought about it again and found that there was nothing to buy, so he went home with a cart full of things.
When he went back, Hu Ye deliberately asked Lao Qian to push the cart past in front of Zhang Fumen, so as to express his gratitude to Brother Zhang, and try his new weapons by the way.
Zhang Fu seemed to know that Hu Ye was going, so he waited outside the gate early. Hu Ye saw Zhang Fu from afar in the car, as well as the straight doormen standing outside the gate of his house, and sure enough, the big family was not comparable to an upstart like himself. Hu Ye suddenly felt that just one old money didn't seem to be enough, and he should get two more veterans over, so that he could be regarded as a real nouveau riche.
"Haha, Yezi, this time I went out to make a big purchase, and I bought this whole car." Zhang Fu saw that Hu Ye was sitting in the car very leisurely, so Daxiao walked up and said.
"Where, thank you for Brother Zhang's kindness, otherwise I won't be able to open the pot now." When Hu Ye saw Zhang Fu walking up, he couldn't sit in the car again, which seemed very impolite. So Hu Ye jumped out of the car and greeted him.
"Hey, Yezi is polite, who are you and me, you gave me such a great creation, what is my heart." Zhang Fu said politely.
"Haha, since Brother Zhang said so, then I'm welcome. However, I remember this favor, and I will definitely return it in the future, but I still have a few things to ask Brother Zhang for help. Hu Ye said embarrassedly.
"Where does Yezi talk, if you have something to say, you will treat your brother as an outsider." Zhang Fu looked very arrogant.
"Then the little brother won't hide it. The younger brother may have some trouble recently, and he may need Brother Zhang's help then. Hu Ye said embarrassedly, he really wanted to solve the problem with his liliang, but there were some things that he couldn't solve now, so he could only turn to Zhang Fu for help.
"Oh, it looks like Yezi, he must be in big trouble, tell my brother quickly. You also know that the last thing I'm afraid of is trouble, and I feel itchy when I don't do it for two days. Zhang Fu patted his chest and said, looking eager to try.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little trouble, and I accidentally beat up the son of Zhenfu Division." Hu Ye spread his hands and said very innocently.
"Haha, you are really extraordinary, you have only been in Beiping for a day, and you dare to beat the son of someone else's suppression, you are worthy of my brother Zhang Fu. This is easy to do, although the Zhenfu Division is not under the jurisdiction of King Yan, and I Yanshan Beiwei are independent, but this matter is on me. At most, he is at the same level as me, and my Yanshan Beiwei has just won the battle, and he doesn't dare to mess around. After listening to Hu Ye's words, Zhang Fu pondered for a while, and then said categorically.
Although Zhang Fu said it very easily, Hu Ye also knew that there would definitely be some twists and turns. This town belongs to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and it is under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and it will definitely take a lot of risk to deal with them. But Zhang Fu resolutely carried it, and Hu Ye felt that this friend was worth it.
"Then the little brother is here to thank Brother Zhang first, when the little brother goes back and settles down at home, he must find a time to go to the house to chatter."
"Where Yezi is, my house is your home, you can come when you want, why talk about it."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhang, thanks to your subordinate today, otherwise the younger brother would have been beaten by that calming son." After some politeness, Hu Ye pointed to Lao Qian and said.
"Oh, you mean old money." Seeing Hu Ye pointing at the old money, Zhang Fu suddenly realized, "Since Yezi values the old money so much, I will send him to you." β
Hu Ye suddenly understood something, his eyes widened, and he was about to say something, but Zhang Fu said to Lao Qian, "Qian Yanjin, from today onwards, you will be relieved of the position of Yanshan Beiwei General Banner and protect Hu Ye full-time, there must be no mistake." β
Lao Qian was very excited when he heard this, and said loudly, "My subordinates obey orders." β
Lao Qian was very excited, but Hu Ye was very depressed, turned around, stared at Lao Qian viciously, and yelled hysterically, "Qian Yan, you dare to pit me!" β
