Chapter 124
Later, Lin Youzhi ran out of rice paper in his hand, and he was unwilling to give up his face to buy cheap raw edge paper. After thinking about it, he really tried to go to the grocery store.
It was probably the guy at the grocery store who got the orders of the shopkeeper Sun, so after Lin Youzhi reported his name, he took out a stack of rice paper very generously.
"Lin Gongzi, the shopkeeper is not in the shop now, see if you can write a note for Zai, and the shopkeeper of the province thinks that I am greedy for these rice papers!" The young man had a smile on his face, and although he was saying something that was an inquiry, he had a pen and paper in his hand.
Lin Youzhi, who was still frightened for fear of being blasted out, really didn't expect that the words of the shopkeeper Sun would be so useful, and he was in a trance. So after hearing the guy's words, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and directly wrote down how much rice paper I had come to get today.
The guy got the note and said a stack of good things to him thankfully, which made Lin Youzhi more and more proud.
In the following days, whenever he lacked food and little use, most of them would go to the grocery store to look for it. If there are no items, most of them will be arrogantly assigned to the guys who come to the grocery store to help them buy them.
It's been so long that he hasn't even noticed that this unearned life has made him addicted.
Later, Mo said that he was thinking about his family, that is, the articles in the academy, and he no longer paid attention to studying.
The Master talked to him a few times, but each time he listened with his left ear and came out with his right ear. Later, the master was helpless, so he could only turn a blind eye and let him abandon his studies.
However, compared with his desolation, many people in the school who got a lot of books and ink because they were better with him became more and more hardworking.
Here, Lin Youzhi touched the money in his pocket, and kept thinking in his heart, rushing Ming'er to find some reason to go to the grocery store by the way. These days, the family rarely gives him money, but he doesn't care, after all, he can exchange a lot of copper plates for pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the grocery store.
The white wolf's trade with empty gloves was enough for him to squander his life in the town.
His life has become more and more comfortable, but Lin Youcheng has caused trouble again.
Originally, prostitution and gambling can harm people, but once you enter the door, I am afraid that most of them will go bankrupt. Lin Youcheng, who was originally able to restrain himself, is now really mired in mud, not to mention the more than one or two pieces of silver that he just coaxed from Liu's hands, it was the sweetness he got from petty theft, and it was all smashed into the bottomless pit of the gambling house.
But Lin Youcheng, who lost his red eyes in his life, only thought about turning over the book, thinking about making a good life with a small Boda. So, the more he lost, the more he lost, and when he really couldn't take out the bet, he simply talked to the people in the casino about how his eldest brother who was studying in the academy was capable.
"My eldest brother is the master's favorite student, and he will definitely be able to test his fame in the next exam, not to mention a few taels of silver at that time, even if it is three or five hundred taels, he will not be taken seriously." Lin Youcheng boasted unashamedly, "Besides, my family prepares a lot of bindings for my eldest brother every year, which is worth a lot of money." There are also pigs, chickens and ducks at home, even if you sell meat, you can make some money......"
The manager of the casino was skeptical of his words, and some time ago, Lin Youcheng had no pants left, but he could find silver to block gambling debts when he turned his head. Now I can find one or two today, and tomorrow I can take out one hundred and eighty Wen, and I want to come to the bottom of the family not to be poor.
It's just that if you want to say that his family can be a celebrity, the manager of the casino is a little unbelievable.
The steward thought about it, and while first stabilizing Lin Youcheng, who was red-eyed and wanted to borrow money, he hurriedly asked the guy to inquire about what Lin Youcheng said.
Originally, they were all in a town, and there was only one famous academy, so it only took a quarter of an hour for the guy who inquired about the matter to come back.
The guy whispered in the butler's ear, and then the cold-faced steward said obedient words again and again, and let people welcome Lin Youcheng to the card table.
The housekeeper of the gambling house is also a brain, if Lin Youcheng's brother really has the ability to take the test and become famous, or become an official, then he can be regarded as a good way to climb in the future.
If his brother didn't have that ability, the gambling house would come to the door to ask for debts, and if he didn't work, he would take the Lin family's belongings to the account, and they wouldn't lose money.
Besides, I heard from the guy that there is a daughter of the Lin family who is engaged to the young master of the Liu family in the town. Who is the young master of the Liu family, that is the master who takes the silver inappropriately. He is now giving Lin Youcheng a good one, and he can be regarded as selling the young master of the Liu family a face.
After all, all the gambling houses and restaurants in the town, what they are most looking forward to is probably the inseparable young master of the Liu family.
This kind of profitable and loss-free business, where is the manager of the gambling house willing to lose it? 101 Chinese Net
It's just that Lin Youcheng really has any means to win the bet? In just a few days, he has been in debt, and all he owes is the money privately released by the gambling house.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he had borrowed more than 20 taels of silver from the gambling house. In the end, the housekeeper of the gambling house personally took the thugs and pressed him to ask for money.
Lin Youcheng still remembers the shamelessness at this time, he made a lot of promises, and after being warned, he even ran to the place where the eldest brother was studying to find someone.
He spent two days and two nights in the gambling house, and now the whole person was smelly and dirty, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were blue, no different from asking for food. So, let alone entering the academy, he couldn't even touch the threshold.
But for the sake of gambling, he can be regarded as a free man. didn't care about his eldest brother's instructions at all, so if he was okay and didn't want to be ashamed, he just shouted his eldest brother's name at the gate of the academy.
When Lin Youzhi got the letter and ran out, he saw that many classmates had already gathered together and pointed at Lin Youcheng. Even when he appeared, he got a lot of cynicism, which made Lin Youzhi, who has always been a high-ranking person, how to arrange the layout.
"What are you doing, it's not shameful enough to scream." Lin Youzhi dragged his second brother to a corner, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not good to serve grandpa at home, what are you shouting in the academy!" ”
Lin Youcheng saw that his brother was dressed brightly, and the clothes looked freshly cut, without any wrinkles, and he couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced in his heart.
It seems that his mother and his grandmother are really hiding their secrets, and he originally thought that his grandmother secretly stuffed some broken silver for him, which hurt him. But now it seems that it was simply to send him away as a flower child.
Thinking of this, Lin Youcheng was also uneasy, "Big brother, don't you have loose hands, give me some money." ”
Lin Youzhi frowned, and said unhappily: "Where do I have money, if you want to buy something, go back and tell your father and grandmother, what kind of mouth do you have to talk to me!" ”
Lin Youcheng didn't think he was telling the truth, so he thought he was perfunctory, so he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Isn't all the money saved for you by Daddy?" Say whether you give it or not, and if you don't, I'll borrow it from your gentlemen......"
When the two were arguing, there were still many people coming and going to look here, and they saw that Lin Youzhi was very uncomfortable. Now when he heard that his second brother was about to shout indiscriminately, he was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out and covered Lin Youcheng's mouth.
"Be quiet, shameless, I still want it." As he spoke, Lin Youzhi took out two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, and said with some pain, "Just this time, I have only so little left!" ”
Lin Youcheng saw the sweetness, and became more and more sure that his family must have given the eldest brother money in private. However, he also knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and in the future, he couldn't let his eldest brother take advantage of the family.
Here, Lin Youcheng got the silver, and ran away as soon as he slipped away. As for the mess he just left for his eldest brother, he won't care about it.
Lin Youzhi, who returned to the school, perfunctory to those who came up to inquire about things in a few words. But he didn't know that just when he thought he had saved his face by fooling himself, Shopkeeper Sun asked people to come over......
Lin Youzhi heard that Shopkeeper Sun invited him, but he was only the other party who wanted to invite him to dinner, so that he could have a relationship. So, Lin Youzhi, who was defenseless and even triumphant, walked out of the academy so generously.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Sun who saw him this time did not have the friendly appearance of kindness and kindness before. That face was so cold that it was almost covered with ice.
Lin Youzhi chuckled in his heart, but he was only the shopkeeper of Sun, because he knew that he didn't give a good word to the Shunlai grocery store in front of his cousin, so he was annoyed.
So he was a little embarrassed on his face, and said calmly: "Some time ago, there were many things in the academy, and I didn't have time to go back to see my cousin, and when I go back in a few days, I will definitely give Uncle Sun a few words." ”
Shopkeeper Sun's expression did not soften by these words, but he just smiled and said: "Lin Gongzi is probably wrong, I asked people to invite you over today, not to talk about it." As he spoke, he took out a stack of notes from his arms, "It's just these days, you should settle the account for our grocery store, after all, it's not easy for us to buy and sell with a small capital!" ”
When Lin Youzhi heard this, his expression froze directly, and he sneered: "What kind of joke is Uncle Sun kidding?" Didn't you tell me to go to the counter to get those things? ”
Shopkeeper Sun's skin smiled and laughed twice, "I don't know when I told you such a thing." Don't say that we don't have any relatives and no reason, even if I have some friendship with your family, I won't have to support you like a father! ”
As he spoke, he shook the note in his hand, and said coldly: "You have to think about it, whether to repay the money now, or let me go to your academy to collect debts." ”
Lin Youzhi's brain turned into a piece of paste at this moment, even though he had a pile of ink in his stomach. But in the face of Shopkeeper Sun's clear criticism, he didn't know how to deal with it at this time.
