Chapter 16 Ten Taels of Silver
Jian Qing drank a small cup of hot wine.
The quality of the wine is not good, Jian Qing suspects, this is probably the tail wine, with a bit of the rancid taste of summer meals after being left for a long time. However, after drinking, the body was warm, and Jian Qing endured it.
Shen Shi is almost over, and only Jian Qing and their table are left in the Qian family's shop. After a green vegetable cake was put down, Jian Qing felt that the strength in his body had returned.
The wind outside was getting louder and louder, the curtain of the door was lifted, Zhou Shen appeared at the door, saw Jian Qing and the three of them at a glance, and said busily, "Two big brothers, Brother Jane, it's good that you are here, can you do it well, Li Zhutou is drunk, Lai is in our place and refuses to leave, it's all at this point, the building wants to welcome guests to do business, can you invite the eldest brother and brother to get Li Zhutou away?" ”
"What the does this have to do with us...... Ah......h
Niu Er didn't finish speaking, he screamed, covered his feet, didn't know who stepped on him under the table, looked at Jian Qing, and looked at Shi Yan, indignant, as long as he knew who it was, he would definitely pounce on him and bite him to death.
"Brother Zhou, let's go now."
"Go? What are you going to do? Niu Er was still grunting, Jian Qing had already pulled him, and the three of them walked out together.
Niu Er was puzzled, but he knew that Jian Qing's brain was better than him, and this kid was quite kind and willing to believe him.
Along the way, the wind and snow were blowing, and it was easy to get to the front of the jade building, and the old bustard had a face that was not a face, and his nose was not a nose to greet him, "I said that I came to investigate the case, what kind of case is being investigated?" When I came, I asked the girl to accompany me, but until now, I still refuse to leave. I didn't spend a penny, not to mention, how much did I post it? Investigate the case on the girl? Who wouldn't? ”
"Hmm, you old thing, you drive me away, right? I'll tell you, the one who killed the person was the girl in your building, look at me, I'm almost going to die here......"
Li Shi was pulled out by two big teapots, Zhou Shen's body was a little thin, half of Li Shi's body was pressed on him, Jian Qing was worried that Zhou Shen would be crushed, so he hurriedly pushed Shi Yan, "Brother Shi Yan, you go over and help Li Zhutou over." ”
Shi Yan frowned fiercely, and Jian Qing whispered beside him, "He is now the head catcher, and he is the leader of your team, and when it is not, I will talk about it." ”
Shi Yan hurriedly changed his smiling face, greeted him, and took Li Shi from Zhou Shen's side.
Niu Er had to follow Shi Yan's example. Just now, he heard what Jian Qing said to Shi Yan. Although, he also looks down on his own team leader, but there is no way, Jian Qing's words are right, people are still in their position now, turn around and stuff a pair of small shoes, and see if you can't kill you.
The three of them picked up Li Shi, and listened to a few words from the old bustard with a gun and a stick, and then sent Li Shi home in the wind and snow.
Niu Er complained, "Did this old bustard eat gunpowder today?" What tantrums at us? The boss is really, this is a good opportunity to have a dashing show in the jade building, which will cause us to eat and hang up. ”
"Do you know where the chief's family lives?"
"You know, there's a dominatrix in his house on the corner of the right back street, so we'll have to be careful when we go by."
It was a mother-in-law who got up and opened the door, which should be the subordinate invited by Li Shi's family. Seeing Li Shi like this, the mother-in-law stepped aside and begged, "The three brothers do a good deed and help send my grandfather in, this old woman can't move!" ”
"If he can't move, let him sleep in the yard, and pour yellow soup outside every day, why don't you die outside?"
When the three of them sent Li Shi in, the "Dominatrix" shook at the door of the room, wearing a pink middle coat and a big jacket, revealing a bulging belly.
She was pregnant.
Jian Qing is a woman, and she can understand this woman a little. is pregnant with a big belly, her husband is prostituting in the Qinglou, and Jian Qing is a little disgusted with Li Shi.
The "Dominatrix" was not allowed to move Li Shi to the room, so Niu Er and Shi Yan had to throw Li Shi in the hall. The two of them were really relieved.
The wind is getting tighter, and there is a light rain here and there is a sudden drop in temperature. This is rare in Datong Mansion.
Jian Qing wrapped the thin sheepskin jacket on her body, and thought to herself, when will I be able to eat and dress warmly?
After walking a few steps away, the three of them parted ways and went home. Jian Qing did not pass by the door of the Langyu Building this time, but passed through the alley in the east of the city, walked through the back street of the county government, and when she passed by the Qian family's shop, she slowed down and looked at the house next door to the Qian family.
Is this the one?
Occupying the face of the two facades, facing the street is an upside-down house, and on the right side is a two-meter-wide house door, with three steps sticking out towards the street.
The steps of the Qing Dynasty were two steps away, the bluestone steps were covered with a thin layer of snow, the black lacquer gate was inconspicuous, and the copper auxiliary on it had a layer of patina, but by the faint light of the street, the ring was very smooth.
If it is in the 21st century, you only need to see if there are fingerprints left on the collar and whose fingerprints it is. But now, this assistant is not of any help to the investigation of the case.
When Jian Qing returned home, his younger brother was already asleep. Her mother was sitting on the kang waiting for her, and when she saw her coming back, she hurriedly went down to the ground to cook food for her, and smelled the faint smell of wine on her body, Cui Shi was very worried, "Going to drink again?" ”
"Shi Yan invited a guest, he asked me, so I took two small sips. It's too cold, drink two sips to ward off the cold. "Jian Qing knows what her mother is worried about?
Jian Qing grew up in an orphanage in her previous life, and the party and the state raised her. Although there are brothers and sisters in the orphanage, they grew up together and have a deep relationship, but she can't feel the feeling that blood is connected and blood is thicker than water.
Here, although it is poor, Jian Qing is not a person who can't bear poverty, there are fathers and mothers, and there are younger brothers, this feeling is still very good.
Cui Shi really put her mind at ease, and a smile appeared on her face, "I also left you a bowl of shredded pork noodles, this night is long, I still bring it to you, you eat it yourself, right?" ”
Jian Qing was stunned for a moment, where did the shredded meat noodles come from?
Cui Shi had already brought the noodles from the pot, and when he saw the shredded meat piled on top, Jian Qing felt that the temperature in the room seemed to be a little higher today, and the kang should be burning very strongly.
There seems to be an income in the family, but where did it come from? For a long time, apart from the fact that this profession brings a little income, there is basically no other way for this family.
"What did Daddy eat today?" Jian Qing asked.
"Your father has eaten a lot today."
But Jian Qing still brought the noodles in, her father leaned against the head of the bed, as usual, every day he had to wait for her to come back, asked about the yamen, and learned that there was nothing wrong, and then he would rest.
"Did Dad eat it? I ate bread at Qian's shop today, and I'm not hungry! ”
"I've eaten, I've eaten a full meal!"
Although Jian Qing has been here for two months, he hasn't eaten a good meal, but he is not hungry for a meal of shredded meat noodles, so he has to eat a fine meal. She handed the noodles to her mother, "Then keep them and eat them tomorrow, I really won't eat them today." ”
There was a trace of tears in Cui's eyes, "Today, the prince gave ten taels of silver, and the family bought white noodles, this meal is good, and I can still afford it." ”
Jian Qing became more and more out of appetite, and Zhao Di asked people to send ten taels of silver, what does this mean? Buy her message today?
