Chapter 145: Small Talk
Zhou Yu's grandfather seized the opportunity and took advantage of his age to run dozens of times to the sea in exchange for all kinds of novelty goods, and made a fortune with these goods.
According to the uncle, after the Zhou family's cargo ship docked at the wharf, all kinds of rare things were moved home one by one, and every time the ship docked, it took more than half a month.
Yuan Man can only believe half of this, after all, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous.
But even then the Zhou family is very wealthy!
The uncle couldn't help but sigh when he said this: "I think that eight of the ten stores on our Luohua side were from the Zhou family, what a beautiful scenery they were at that time..."
When the uncle said this, he turned his head and sighed again: "It's a pity that the young master of the Zhou family, his father's generation, is adjusting the sea tax and maritime trade regulations, and the maritime trade has been sealed for twenty or thirty years, otherwise the Zhou family is even more remarkable today..."
"But now, although it is said to be unsealed again, there are more and more people in Yanjiang Town, and there are more capable people from all over the country, and the east side of the town is the territory of their outsiders. Can the Zhou family prosper again in the future, reliable him! ”
The uncle praised again and again.
Yuan Man nodded and said that he was listening, Fang Ping also felt that it was too powerful, and the good things were moved home one by one, and Yuan Wu asked: "Then doesn't his family want what he wants, he can eat whatever he wants, and eat big white rice with meat?" ”
The old man smiled happily, his gray beard shook and said, "That's not it!" People eat not only white rice and meat, but also the best delicacies from the mountains and seas! His uncle is still a big official in Beijing! ”
Yo, this is really rich and powerful.
No wonder his family is so rich.
Yuan Man thought to himself.
The old man suddenly opened his mouth again and sighed: "Don't talk about food, the Zhou family is such an extraordinary family, just say that their ancestors may not have used gold hoes for farming!" ”
Wait a minute!
???
Before Yuan Manman's face could speak, Yuan Wu hurriedly said: "Uncle, you are laughing, you are using a gold hoe, so what kind of land is he planting!" ”
What about bluffing children? He wasn't a fool and reacted immediately.
The uncle laughed and reacted, "Aren't I joking?" ”
Yuan Man couldn't cry or laugh.
The uncle hurriedly changed the topic and said: "But this week, the young master of the family is really capable, and you have also seen the young master Hua and Young Master Yan who always follow him, right?" ”
His tone was determined, the three children were often together, and they could basically meet.
Yuan Man nodded and replied, "Yes, I have seen it." ”
She looked at the bustling crowd at the entrance of the street again, and Uncle Li's figure had not yet appeared.
The uncle opened the conversation box and was talking energetically.
He said: "You also know the identity of the little young master of the Hua family, right?" Don't look at other people's fathers who are officials, his temperament is also weird, although he is a little impatient, but he comes and goes quickly, he laughs when he sees people, and he is very pleasing. ”
At this time, Yuan Wu also remembered what Zhou Yu said when they met for the first time, and said, "I heard before that he was raised as a girl since he was a child?" ”
The uncle put a new basket away, nodded and said, "Hey, that's really the case." ”
He went on to elaborate.
"This little young master, I have been weak since I was a child, and I said that I almost couldn't support it several times when I was one year old."
"It's said that it's a dirty thing that is heavy on yang energy, and it needs to be suppressed with yin, don't look at that Mr. You Fang is like a magic stick, and the point to the Hua family is really accurate, that little master Hua has really not had any major illnesses since he was raised as a girl in a little girl's clothes, do you say that God is not God?"
"God!"
Yuan Wu and Fang Ping suddenly said in unison.
The two children listened carefully all the way, maybe the old man likes to talk to the children about the old talk, the old man is quite happy, and the two children are also happy to listen.
Yuan Man said that this is nothing more than thick, and it is really difficult to say such a thing as fortune telling sometimes.
It's like she can cross through, so what's impossible in this world?
The old man talked from Zhou Yu's house to Hua Chengen's house, and interspersed a few ghost stories in between.
Finally, he talked about Yan Han's family.
"The little young master of the Zhou family and the little young master of the flower are easy to get along with, and the children here in Luohua also like to play with them, not to mention being more intimate with others, but there are a few words, but the little young master of the Yan family."
Fang Ping was also quite interested at this time, and she asked, "What's wrong with the little young master of the Yan family?" ”
The old man shook his head with a smile and said: "That child is also a good one, but it's a pity that the family is not idle, and he was forced to be bad by his grandfather and grandmother, he won't laugh when he meets people, he can only study, and he is almost stupid, how strict his grandfather is, his grandmother is also interesting, and he doesn't let him touch anything in life, saying that the child was fed by his grandmother when he ate last year, otherwise it was also fed by the maid!" ”
Yuan Man was shocked when he heard this, he really came to reach out and open his mouth!
Fang Ping sat next to Yuan Man, leaned over and asked the uncle curiously: "You can study, do you still need someone to feed you?" Could it be that he is sick and can't eat by himself? ”
Yan Han was punished in the Flower Temple last time, so Fang Ping didn't see him either.
In her worldview, only the kind of very young children or children who are sick like the younger brother of the Yuan Man family need to be fed.
The uncle smiled and said: "That's not it, his grandfather and grandmother think that the most important thing for him now is to study, so they don't want him to bother with these chores." ”
Yuan Wu and Fang Ping were both surprised.
Yuan Man said strangely: "Actually, I've always been very strange, since his grandfather is so strict, how can he still come out to play?" ”
As soon as her words came out, she remembered that last time, Hua Chengen said that Yan Han was punished by the family to kneel.
Could it be that Yan Han went out with Zhou Yu when they first met, so they were punished?
Just when Yuan Man felt that he was the truth, the old man denied it: "This grandfather didn't let him come out, as long as he did the homework arranged by his grandfather, his grandfather also let him come out for a walk, saying that he wanted to communicate more with his classmates, what to say, what to do without closing the door!" Eh, that's what I'm talking about, people who read are all big truths, where do we understand? ”
The old man shook his head again and again and sighed: "Do you want me to say how guilty that child is?" Why do you have to test for fame? A child's health is a blessing, some time ago I heard that he participated in a poetry meeting, saying that he created a poem, which is really in the limelight! But his grandfather thought he was too conceited, and he had to punish him for kneeling all night. What a sin! ”
Yuan Man, Yuan Wu and Fang Ping didn't know what to say now.
The old man seemed to realize that he was overdoing it, and hurriedly laughed and laughed.
After a while, I moved on to something else.
After a few more small talks, Li Datong drove the ox cart back to pick them up.
The old man also happened to have business at this time, so the two adults simply nodded and said hello.
Li Datong's smile also means gratitude.
The old man also looks polite.
The affection between adults can sometimes be understood with just a look or movement.
A few people said goodbye to the old man, and the children got into the ox cart and left here.
Li Datong saw the smiling faces of the three children before, and knew that they must have been sold out.
He drove the ox cart with a smile and said, "Looking at the appearance of you little ghosts, you know that you have a good luck today?" What do you think? All sold? ”
