Chapter 45 Even though it is not shining, it is warm and bright
A meat ball lifted the curtain at the door, looked at Su Qinghuang who was eating and drinking inside, narrowed his eyes that were almost small and slit, smiled, waved his hand and let the people all guard outside, and then casually dragged a chair and sat down next to Su Qinghuang.
"I said fatty, I was very generous just now, I listened to the voice, and the ingot of silver was at least more than ten taels. Su Qinghuang drank and pecked, and then said.
Wang Fugui stuffed a large piece of beef into his mouth with chopsticks, and said that he was still drinking and eating meat in a big bowl, and then said: "This is called investment, don't underestimate these storytellers, especially the old Xie Tou, who has been a book for half his life, has a wide range of contacts, and all the lower-class people of the three religions and nine streams recognize it." It is precisely because of the complexity of these people that everything spreads quickly, no matter what, you and the Li family have always had too much disadvantage in reputation, and if you don't use some other means, how can you recover the decline. Wang Fugui's face was full of pride, "Let's stink him in the people first, no matter how effective it is, anyway, what I don't lack the most is this bit of silver." ”
Su Qinghuang glanced at his presumptuous eating appearance, "Eat less, didn't Lang Zhong warn you to avoid meat and spirits, and mainly eat vegetarian food on weekdays, otherwise your physique will collapse in a few years, and when the time comes, no one will inherit the huge family business, and your concubines will not have to fight him upside down." ”
"You don't know, on weekdays, a few of them look at me in the room, and they don't even let me get a little oily, and a bird has long faded out of their mouths. ”
Wang Fugui gulped down and said, "I don't have the kind of blessing you can practice in my life, I have a hundred years of life with a flick of my fingers, when I am proud, I need to be happy, don't wait for Shaohua to grow old, sigh in vain The gold bottle is empty to the moon, this is my Wang Fugui's way of life." ”
Wang Fugui was too addicted to the fish and meat on the table, and it was not until he ate six or seven minutes after half an hour that he used the sleeve of the Shu embroidered white cloud pattern crescent robe, which was worth a hundred taels of silver, to wipe the greasy on his mouth at will, and took out a neatly folded white paper from his arms with a smile and said: "Qinghuang, I only checked the things you wanted, but the time is too tight, if you give me more than half a month, I can find out more than what is written on this paper." ”
"Those things will have time to take care of them in the future, but now it's just a rough idea, and it's also precious to me. Su Qinghuang took the blank paper, said Zhengse, and opened the paper.
"The ancestors of the five generations are all Qingjun people, the descendants of the wealthy family, the grandfather was born in the county, and then made a fortune by virtue of extraordinary means, inherited to this day, the mother is a local small scholarly family, the Li family now controls nearly seventy percent of the supply business of Qingjun Pharmaceutical Store, and wants to cooperate with the Bai family, and get involved in Caoyun. Su Qinghuang smiled and looked at the information on the paper, the last one, "The people of the Li family have colluded with the righteous son of Wang Lianying in the court, and the plan is unknown." ”
Wang Fugui leaned back on the chair and burped leisurely, and then explained: "This Wang Lianying is the great eunuch of the dynasty, and he is most appreciated by today's son. ”
"The next thing is the secret, which I spent a lot of money to find out, and I am not allowed to talk about it. Wang Fugui moved his fat body forward, and said mysteriously: "I heard that this big eunuch is extremely bad with our county guard, or a mortal enemy, I don't know why, anyway, it is that kind of situation that never dies." ”
"Yes. Su Qinghuang thought for a moment, put the white paper in his hand on the oil lamp, watched the half flame jump on the white paper, and burned it out, as if nothing had come, and the breeze outside the window entered and took away the last embers.
"Anyway, tomorrow Dabi Li's family will definitely play a trick, there is a soft hedgehog armor in my warehouse, light as cicada wings, worn on the body can almost be integrated with the body, but it can resist open guns and dark arrows, and can unload the power of fists and feet, if you need it, I will send someone home to get it now." ”
Su Qinghuang shook his head and said, "Fatty, I understand your kindness, but this kind of trick is not the right way after all." What's more, Xu Xiao will be present in person tomorrow, this little trick, he has already seen a few mortals, why bother dancing the knife in front of the martial saint's door, making people laugh. ”
"Yes, knowing your temperament, I won't say anything superfluous, just be careful tomorrow, I have put a lot of money on you, so I can help your Su family these days, Qinghuang, you can't let me lose this deal." Wang Fugui said heartlessly, with this person's family background, he can say the word heavy note, which shows that he must have made a large amount of silver in the bureau.
The storyteller next door got the money, and he chattered non-stop, working very hard, in a densely populated place like a restaurant, with enough Dongguo local accent, mixed with the sound of small bullets of wooden planks, to wave after wave of people who came to eat recounted the previous paragraph. The little granddaughter who went out to drink to her grandfather had just returned to the restaurant at this time, holding a bamboo board for her grandfather to beat, and the old man was smiling from the bottom of her heart.
The craftsmanship of the whole body is given by the ancestor master, and now it is not difficult to say that there is no big deal, it is not difficult to ensure food and clothing, just now the king told him to actually guess a little subtlety, but the fighting methods of the upper class people are really not something that a small person like him can figure out. Looking at the clever and lovely little girl around him, the old man Xie smiled so much that his face was about to bloom into a flower, as long as he had the silver to take, and when he had saved up his granddaughter's dowry, he watched his granddaughter marry with the white jade gilt hairpin given by her grandfather, and the old man was really dumbfounded.
Because of the hard work he said, and the little girl was so clever and cute, the guests in the room applauded, and the old man said that his mouth was dry, and he still couldn't stop his mouth from being dry when a cup of coarse tea foam went down.
"Grandpa, where did this money come from? After another round of talks, the little girl took advantage of the rest to say, holding the large piece of silver in her arms.
"It was the kind old man next door who saw it. Old man Xie cleaned up the broken silver in his hand, looked at the bright smile on his granddaughter's face, and felt that he could drink several more bowls of wine in his heart.
"Then you have to go to the master to thank you in person, the gentleman in the private school said, vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Although I don't have the elixir jade dew in my hand, I should kowtow to the lord in person. The little girl said, looking at her granddaughter's eyes, the innocent blue water is like a mirror.
Old man Xie felt that when he received the reward this time, he must send the girl to the private school, thinking that the little girl was hiding in the corner outside the window of the private school before, holding a branch on the ground in her hand to remember what the gentleman said inside, and he didn't care if his little hand was drawn out of the way, Old Man Xie quickly raised his head, not wanting the little granddaughter to see the crystal in his eyes. His son died early, and his daughter-in-law also left the family and didn't know where, but fortunately, her granddaughter was sensible and well-behaved.
Watching the little girl stand up straight, straighten the folds on the coarse cloth shirt, first with a smile on her face, and finally carefully lift the curtain next door. The old man hurriedly followed behind with a smile, for fear that if he collided with the violent temper of the rich family, he would frighten his granddaughter.
But before the old man bent down and said sir, the handsome boy in the white shirt had already beckoned the little girl to sit down first, and the young man looked far more popular with the girl than the old man Wang who was sitting next to him, and his little granddaughter took the initiative to come up and asked sweetly: "Son, do you want to listen to a tune?" "It's an uncivilized and milky child's voice.
disturbed the conversation between the two, Wang Fugui was a little reluctant, and was about to wave his hand to scold their grandfather and grandson to go out, Su Qinghuang secretly glanced at the fat man, stopped him, and then said to the grandfather and grandson in a warm voice: "I want to listen to the song, but the one at home is strict, and I don't have anything in my pocket except for the half-sleeved breeze, so I really don't have the money to pay the little girl for your singing." I think the old man also said that he didn't care about eating a bite of food in the morning, if you don't mind, the two of you can fill your stomach here, and then you can pay the little girl for your singing money, how about it?"
The little girl, who couldn't say how hungry she was, was a year or two younger than the cumin in the family, looking at Su Qinghuang's smile, she wanted to agree for a while, but she still glanced at her grandfather and let him call the shots.
The old man is a storyteller, and he has personally said that countless rich young masters have molested the sinister deeds of good women, and he also thinks that his granddaughter is not a first-class beauty, and she is always a little beautiful, but this young descendant is too much like a good person compared to the young master of the Wang family on the side, not to mention, but he really has some obscene thoughts, this handsome and pretty face, maybe he can make the girl of the smoke willow oiran upside down with silver.
And the sentence "Fill your stomach and pay for your singing" sounds more comfortable than the reward of those compassionate people. ”
So he pulled his granddaughter to sit in the lower seat stiffly, Su Qinghuang beckoned Xiao Er to add two more dishes and chopsticks, and waited until Xiao Er went out, only to find that the old man who was sitting with a straight waist was as flat as the bamboo board in his granddaughter's hand, but the bottom of his eyes inadvertently swiped towards the small tandoor rice wine, Su Qinghuang quietly sandwiched the fish into the little girl's bowl, and filled the old man with a cup.
"It's a little old man. Old man Xie hurriedly took the rice wine with both hands, said carefully, swallowed most of it in one gulp, and the rough skin was slightly red, so he had the courage to open his mouth and said: "I didn't disturb the two sons' Yaxing, it's really that Master Wang's reward is too heavy, and she has to kowtow to the two of them anyway, saying that the gentlemen of the private school are exquisite." ”
Saying that, the little girl who was called had already gotten up from the chair, and was just about to kneel on the ground and give the two Su Wang people in the seat an empty salute, but Su Qinghuang helped her up, and said with a chuckle: "Little girl, hasn't the gentleman in the private school taught you, the prince of heaven and earth is worthy of your kneeling, I am not your teacher, let alone your elder, so I can't stand your worship." ”
"Sir hasn't taught me yet. Xiao Xiao said obediently.
Su Qinghuang touched the little pigtail, "Come here, you don't have to pay so much attention to the rules." ”
"Then, Xiaoxiao, you can sing a tune to the two masters, and sing a song of "General Xing" by Old Lady Su back then. Then the old man said with a smile: "When I was young, I had no money to treat my leg injury, but it was the medicine given by Mrs. Su who passed by and saved my body." After so many years, the old lady has been dead for many years, but her heart is still very worried, and if she wants to do something, she can only make up some jokes about the old man's deeds and tell them to the elders of Qingjun, so that they must not forget the kindness of the old lady. ”
"But even if I go down there in a few years and see the old lady, he won't remember me anymore. The old lady has never begged for retribution, and she is open and innocent, otherwise how could she be in the Su family when she was in danger, first supported by a peerless woman like Miss Wu, and the young master of the Su family was lost and returned, and the prodigal son turned back.
Therefore, God has his own red and black book, don't look at his Li family is now proud, and in the end, he can't keep the success or failure of the right and wrong. Old man Xie took two sips of rice wine, and when he saw that the son of the Lord was kind, he talked more and more.
Xiaoxiao was humming the song "General Xing" on the bamboo board, Su Qinghuang listened to it with relish, the song was very good, and the sweet voice of the little girl was more in line with him. Chatting with Old Man Xie from time to time, the little girl finished singing, and smiled shyly at Wang Fugui, Wang Fugui clapped his hands and applauded, and handed over a big chicken leg.
"Be clever. The old man asked with a swagger.
"Well, the aura of a body is rare to see. Su Qinghuang nodded in praise.
"Childe, little old man toasts you. Old man Xie raised his cup and said, then raised his head and wiped his mouth, looking at the little one beside him, all loving.
"In this world now, it is not easy to survive, so anyone who can make some money has a black heart to do it, Xiao Lao'er is not a big husband, but the rough truth of doing something and not doing is still understood. The little old man is soft-spoken, but as long as he can speak, he will definitely let all his old friends abandon those ambiguous jokes, and do not ask for the reward of the old man, as long as he can do something for the Su family, it will be worth dying. Old man Xie was obviously slightly drunk, Xiaoxiao stepped forward and secretly took away the wine glass, and obediently leaned on his grandfather's arms.
"After saying so much, I'm afraid that I will stain the ears of the two of you, and it's time to tell a joke again, and I'm afraid that the guest officers will complain. In the last half of the cup of rice wine, the old man Xie bowed to the two of them, and then pulled Xiao Xiao out of the private room, and came to the old place on the side to sit down.
"Old Xie Tou, you can do it, the handsome man next door just now can tell you what you instructed, and the rest of the broken silver was used to buy wine and drink. ”
The old man was not hypocritical, and thanked the old man for the reward, but looked at the private room again, and it was already empty.
Xiaoxiao looked at the broken silver, a little distracted, and then said, "Grandpa, are they good people like ordinary Old Lady Su." ”
"yes. Old man Xie hugged Xiaoxiao on his lap and said: "So, no matter how sinister and dark this world is, don't give up hope, as long as you work hard, you will always find some people, warm and bright." And that is the hope that our poor families are working for. ”
