Chapter 29: Seeking Hard
The sky was scorching, and the people who were in a hurry were really hard, and the Fu family Rao was in the carriage, and he still felt that the heat was unbearable.
It was easy to get out of the car at the place, and everyone was sweating profusely.
The housekeeper of the sect opened the door and handed the key to the Fu family.
The Fu family naturally made a polite gesture again, and the Zhong family asked the eldest girl around her to take ten taels of silver to the housekeeper of the sect, which was considered a hardship fee.
The housekeeper of the sect didn't want it, and the two parties pushed it again, and in the end they accepted it.
The rest of the matter has to be done by the Fu family themselves, Fu Yu asked the housekeeper of the sect to go back, and deliberately said: "Wait until tomorrow I will go to the mansion to visit Brother Daoyuan, today is too hasty, so I won't bother." ”
"Master Fu, you are too polite, our master also said that he will come to visit you in person when he is not busy." The housekeeper of the Zongfu is a native of the capital, and he is thoughtful and sleek.
After sending off the housekeeper of the sect, the Zhong family took out the style of being the head of the house and instructed the subordinates of the family: "You all hurry up and pack up a few upper rooms for the old lady and the young master and young lady to rest." ”
Fu Yu's concubine has been pregnant for more than eight months, and it was really uncomfortable to ride in the car all the way, so she asked the master for help with her eyes, and Fu Yu ordered the maid: "Hurry up and help your aunt and grandmother to the back to rest." ”
Zhong Shi hurriedly said: "This courtyard is not spacious in the first place, so my aunt will live in a wing room!" ”
The concubine didn't dare to fight, so she had to live in the wing room in the backyard with a big belly.
At this time, the old lady of the Fu family and Fu Mingyue were sitting at the stone table in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and the old lady loved her little grandson Fu Chengxun the most, and said in a loud voice: "Good baby, you go to sit under the shade of this tree, don't stand in the sun, beware of the heat." ”
Fu Chengxun still had that cynical look, pouting and saying, "This courtyard is much smaller than our previous residence. ”
"Little Ancestor, I advise you to be content! This is the capital where every inch of land is valuable! Zhong couldn't help but feel that his son really didn't understand the difficulties of being a family: "Renting such a yard will cost hundreds of taels of silver a year!" It's really not a family showmanship. ”
"Everything else, I want them to clean up a Buddhist hall for me quickly, so that I can recite Buddha and do my homework in the morning and evening. If it weren't for me eating fasting and reciting Buddha all these years, how could I bless the safety of my family house and my son's official fortune? ”
Zhong didn't say anything, and went inside to see the servants cleaning.
By the time the house was cleaned, the things were almost in place. The old lady was already snoring like thunder on the bed, and the Zhong family opened her mouth to complain to Fu Yu: "Listen to the uninformed words that the old lady said, you haven't even been an official from the sixth rank to the sixth rank until now, and you can be called an official with prosperous luck." It can be seen that your family is from farming, and I have never seen a big official. ”
Fu Yu said helplessly: "She is old, what do you have to worry about her?" With this kung fu, it is better to think about what to do next. ”
"How can I get there? In recent years, we have no close relatives and friends in the capital, but fortunately, now that Zong Hong has gained a foothold in the ministry, everything in the future will have to be delayed by him. Zhong said: "Pack up, go to his house another day to visit, say some good words, and ask him to help find a way." ”
Fu Yu came from a humble background, and his ancestors were all rural people.
He has four brothers here, and he has three.
Speaking in detail, this Fu Yu is also a rare one, and he likes to read since he was a child.
At the age of twenty, he was awarded Xiucai, and was appreciated by Zhong's uncle Sun Juren, and continued to study after marrying Zhong, and a few years later he was promoted to Juren and Jinshi.
However, over the years, he has been serving as a county magistrate at the local level, and there has been no big improvement in going around and around.
However, there is a stipulation in Daxia that all seven-grade officials who have served in the local government for 10 years can go to Beijing to report on their work once, and they will be hired in Beijing on the basis of merit.
Zhong and Fu Yu cherished this opportunity very much, and they made every effort to stay in the capital.
So in advance, he and Fu Yu's fellow Jinshi Zong Honghong broke the news and asked him to help.
"What are you sitting there looking at? Take off your outer clothes and rest. Zhong reminded her husband: "I still have to be busy after resting." ”
In fact, Fu Yu suddenly remembered the young man he met in the tea shed today, why did he ask himself those words?
Who is this person? Why do you know so much about yourself? Could he be ......
No, no, no, that kid is a girl, and doesn't she say she's dead?
Besides, Su was kind, after she left the tea shed, she did not go back to the Chu Waist Pavilion, but came to the vicinity of the stinky ditch in the east of the city.
In the summer, the swarms of mosquitoes here stink the sky, but anyone with a bit of status doesn't come here.
But there are still people living in such places, and there are still many people.
Of course, these people were poor, often a dozen people crammed into a straw hut, men, women and children, without a trace of dignity to speak of.
Under a few crooked-necked trees, a few barefoot people were sleeping.
Su asked kindly: "A few big brothers, Lao Jia asked, where is Kuaizui Liu?" ”
One of them said in a daze: "Then the grandson is in Widow Zhao's shack!" You can say hello to him lightly, and beware of scaring that grandson! ”
The others laughed along with the humming.
Su walked over with good intentions, Widow Zhao's shack was under the northernmost big locust tree, she was the most inferior prostitute, and she lived by selling skin and flesh.
Su Haoyi has long been accustomed to such things, standing ten steps away from the shack, and beckoning: "Brother Liuzi, I have something to look for you!" ”
After a while, a thin and short man walked out of the shack while wearing a belt, smiling with a wrinkled face: "Who should I be?" How did Hachiro get here? If there's something to do, just call me to run an errand and call me there, and work for your great drive, beware of the smell that spoils you. ”
"I have something to look for you, just tell you directly." Su said with a smile.
At this time, Widow Zhao poked her head out of the shack, she was obviously not dressed, and looked at Su Haoyi with a foolish smile: "Balang, do you want me to serve you?" I don't want your money. ”
"You're crazy, aren't you?!" Kuaizui turned around and scolded: "Just a licensed guy like you, you still have the idea of beating Hachiro!" What a blind heart! ”
Widow Zhao was not annoyed at all, she smiled with her yellow teeth, and stared at Su Haoyi as if she was greedy.
Su Haoyi ignored her, and said directly to Kuaizuiliu: "Could you please help me inquire about what the newly moved Fu family from Fangfei Lane, Yugu Street, is here to do in the past two days?" ”
"It's easy to say, I promise to help you get to the bottom of it." Kuaizuliu patted his craggy chest and said.
"It's five taels of silver, and you can use it to buy a bar." Su said kindly and threw a piece of silver to Kuaizuiliu: "If you get the news, go to the Chu Waist Pavilion to find me, but the words can't pass through the ears of the third person." ”
After saying that, he didn't look back.
The quick mouth is indispensable, and he said more than a dozen thanks to Su Haoyi's back.
When Widow Zhao saw it, she called her brother with a quick mouth.
Kuaizuliu reflexively threw her a few copper plates and said, "With this silver, who the still sleeps with you?!" Lao Tzu has to go to the Majia Car Shop to find Sister Hu. ”
