Chapter 67: The so-called show-off
It was still raining lightly outside, and the raindrops were ticking on the roof, but it was also very nice.
The two of them in the room were still drinking, and the food on the table was already cold. Too lazy to heat up, Song Jiu simply cut some unsold braised pork to make snacks, and ate meat while drinking with Lao Liu.
"Brother, what did you mean by that just now?" Lao Liu asked Song Jiu a little anxiously, if he knew anything.
"What can I know, brother, it's strange for you to say this." Song Ji replied, smiled at the old Liu, and said that if he didn't know, what would he say.
"I just know that people don't mess with you for no reason."
Song Jiu put the wine bowl and asked Lao Liu when they had made a fuss that day.
"How else can I make a fuss, I just got up, and people suddenly got into trouble. Like a mad dog, he clenched on. Lao Liu was also very depressed when he thought about it, he didn't tell Song Jiu that he had been slapped at that time, it was beaten mercilessly, and now that he thinks about it, he still feels a hot pain on his face.
"I don't know which turtle grandson was idle and stabbed out." Lao Liu scolded in his mouth, but the afterglow swept towards Song Jiu.
Song Yu only shook his head as if he hadn't seen it. This made Lao Liu a little puzzled, and asked him what he meant.
"Brother, this is not bad for the person you bumped into, and eighty percent of the problem is still on yourself."
"Hey, brother, tell me, this ...... Why do you blame me? "Lao Liu doesn't understand, blame yourself? Blame yourself for not being cautious enough that night, and let people bump into it?
Probably guessing that Lao Liu was thinking wrong, Song Jiu shook his head and analyzed that Wang Guixiang was actually a little anxious, and his temper was even hotter and rude. I can't bear it at all, and I can't eat it at all.
If she wanted to know that Lao Liu was raising people outside, she would definitely not endure it and make a big fuss. Regardless of whether you heard it or what it was, there was no doubt that you would have to make a fuss on the spot.
And Lao Liu said just now that it was in the morning, so people must have discovered something to make trouble, right? As for what he found, Lao Liu had to think about it himself.
"Didn't you hear something out there?" Lao Liu shook his head and asked without giving up, but he still didn't believe it.
"I'll have to ask you, I don't know." After that, Song Yu stretched out his chopsticks to eat meat, and he looked calm and frank, and he didn't care at all about the unpredictable look of Lao Liu next to him.
Could it be that I am thinking too much?
Lao Liu's head was a little dizzy, and he took a sip of wine.
The two of them almost drank the jar of wine, but most of it went into Lao Liu's stomach, and Song Jiu didn't drink much.
Wine also depends on who you drink it with. Drink with people who are compatible, and no matter how rough the wine is, you can drink heartily and happily. And drink it with people you don't like, that is, no matter how good the wine is, there is a lack of interest, and it feels tasteless when you drink it.
Lao Liu drank so much wine, he was already drunk and couldn't tell the difference between the east and the west. Pulling Song Jiu, he was crying and laughing, like a madman. It made Song Jiu so annoyed that he really wanted to throw people out.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the person to fall asleep on the table.
Song Jiu didn't pay attention to him anymore when he saw it, got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to sleep.
As for Lao Liu...... It's already extra merciful not to kick people out, and you still expect to find him a comfortable place to sleep? Come on!
"He's back?"
Wange sat on the edge of the bed and lit the lamp, embroidering the insoles that had not been embroidered before. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Song Jiu coming in, so he asked.
"No, I got drunk and fell asleep on the table." Song Jiu closed the door.
Wan Ge frowned when she heard this, and asked him to keep people like that?
To be honest, she doesn't have a good impression of the Liu family. Whether it is Lao Liu or Wang Guixiang, it is the same.
Song Jiu took off his coat and sat next to the person: "It's raining outside, and the people are drunk and messy, I can't throw it on the street!" But when you think about it, it doesn't seem to be impossible ......."
Hearing this, Wan Ge glared at him, then put the needlework in his hand back into the basket, extinguished the oil lamp and put him to sleep.
The house gradually died down, and only the sound of windshield wipers falling could be heard outside.
Lao Liu, who should have been drunk, hid outside the door for a while, and then left quietly.
And in the house, he thought that the two people who were asleep were opening their eyes wide at this time. Wan Ge closed her mouth and gestured at Song Jiu with her hand.
Song Yu listened carefully and told her that she was gone, and she could speak.
"Hey, what do you mean by him?" The evening song was a little angry, took people in on a rainy day, and changed people's clean clothes, and invited them to eat. As a result, the other party is good, and he is not well-intentioned.
She said that there is no good one in the Liu family. I should have known that I couldn't hear it before, and there was no one in the house.
He guessed he was trying to make sure it wasn't me that night. Lao Liu's thoughts, Song Jiu can see it clearly.
"Sleep!" Song Yu patted the person's back.
"I can't sleep." There's someone outside who doesn't know what to think about, and who can fall asleep.
The more Wan Ge thought about it, the more angry she became, and simply told Song Jiu that she should not go outside to wake up the person and let him go back to sleep.
Song Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and even said that Lao Liu would not turn back again.
"Well, who knows if he'll suddenly squat outside and eavesdrop again." Besides, when no one wants to sleep by themselves, there is a person with impure intentions squatting outside, how panicked it is.
couldn't help the grinding of his daughter-in-law, there was no way, Song Jiu had to resign himself to getting up from the bed and saying go out to have a look.
Wan Ge nodded hurriedly and asked him to go out and have a look, if he could get people away, it would be even better.
Under the expectant gaze of his daughter-in-law, Song Jiu shook his head and opened the door with his coat on.
It's just that it doesn't take long for people to come back.
"So fast?" Wan Ge looked at Song Jiu who came back in surprise, didn't he come back after going out for a spin!
"There was no one outside when I went out." Song Jiu took off his coat: "I guess the person is gone." ”
"Huh? Let's go? ”
Song Jiu nodded and lay on the bed: "Now you can sleep well!" ”
When people are gone, they can naturally sleep well.
Lao Liu is gone, and the days seem to have calmed down again.
The two of them sell braised meat every morning, open the door in the afternoon when business is good, and rest when business is bad.
The evening song also went from being anxious at the beginning to going with the flow. Not to mention that if you calm down, you won't feel difficult to keep the shop anymore.
After a few days of opening, gradually a little bit of people know that there is a delicatessen that sells braised pork, which tastes good and the price is not expensive.
On weekdays, I save a little, and occasionally say that a few taels go back to drink to satisfy my cravings, which is also very good.
In this way, the business of the store gradually improved. Although there are more than when I set up a stall, the daily income is still considerable.
If this goes on for a long time, it is a matter of time before I earn back the money to buy a shop.
There were no customers in the afternoon, and the evening song was a little lazy on the rattan chair to guard the shop.
Song Jiu went out, saying that he would come back later, but he didn't know why he was going.
Wange shook the fan, still feeling too hot. To see that the dog days have passed, and before it is cool and cool, the autumn tiger is coming.
But as long as you get through these few days, the weather will be really cool.
Just as I was thinking about it, a special customer came to the store.
Looking at the person standing in front of him, Wan Ge almost didn't recognize the person.
"Jiang ...... Qingyue? ”
Jiang Qingyue proudly lowered her chin and looked down at the sitting evening song: "What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few months, so I can't recognize it?" ”
It's not like I'm almost unrecognizable.
Looking at the luxurious one, the jewelry and hairpins on his hands and head are all over it, he looks like a rich woman who suddenly got rich, but he almost didn't recognize it.
"How do you ......" the evening song looked up and down at people, and the more she looked, the more difficult it was to explain.
A good beautiful woman, how can she be tossed like this, and the jewels are almost written that I am rich, and I am rich.
Jiang Qingyue crossed her hand with a jade wrench: "I came here today to tell you that I will get married at the end of next month, and the other party is the eldest son of the Zheng family, a wealthy businessman in the town." ”
There was an unconcealed pride and an inexplicable sense of superiority in the tone.
She said that the other party's dowry was so much that the family couldn't stuff it, what silk and satin, jade jewelry or something. She can't wear it now, and she can't wear all the jewelry. Every day when I go out, I have to pick up the old man for a long time, and I am dazzled.
"...... "So you put all of them on after looking at the dazzles?"
"That's really congratulations, but I don't know how many concubines you are?" Wan Ge smiled lightly and looked at Jiang Qingyue, who was performing by herself, and already figured out the purpose of coming.
Jiang Qingyue's smile on her face stiffened slightly, but soon people regrouped and said that it didn't matter how many rooms she had, the important thing was that she would rather be a rich concubine than marry a poor wife.
"You see, you've been working all day, but how many people have come in? It's better to marry a good family, don't worry about eating, drinking, and wearing clothes, and there are people to serve you, and you can enjoy sitting and enjoying it. ”
"Really?" Wan Ge shook his fan: "However, I don't agree with you. This rich and noble family has always had many rules, and the backyard is even more open and secret. Wealth is wealth, but it also has to be enjoyed. ”
She has also seen the fight in the backyard, and she has not seen blood when she kills. Like Jiang Qingyue, at best, it is just fun in the eyes of others, and the opponent is not qualified.
What's more, a rich businessman like this, I don't know how many concubines there are in the back house, and there are one or two less, do you really think that Zheng Dashao will care?
There is only one concubine left and right, and if there is no more, it will be remarried.
Thinking of this, the evening song actually felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Qingyue.
"Come on, you just envy, you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour."
Jiang Qingyue walked around the shop slowly and leisurely with her hands, and the pendant on her head and the jewelry on her body collided with Ding Ling's clang.
looked back and forth, and couldn't hide his disgust: "It's so small, I don't know how you can live there." ”
When she said this, she had completely forgotten how she had been jealous that they could set up a shop in town, even if it wasn't big.
"The shop is small and the location is not good, no wonder the business is so bad. Unlike the Zheng family, there are several shops, and they are all in good locations. ”
