Chapter 168: Causing Trouble (I)
At the beginning of the next day, Xie Zheng had breakfast and was walking in the courtyard to eat, when the porter suddenly came here to call her and reported: "Xie Niangzi, your brother has gone out." ”
"He's out? Alone? ”
However, in the past two days, Xie Zheng has clearly figured out Xie Wei's personality, this Xie Wei, in the final analysis, is an idle, lazy and lazy to do, and also sees profits, loves to be greedy and cheap, and can't get on the stage, he has stayed in the house for the past two days and is idle to instruct this, preaching and preaching that, it is really called an idle person, and now he is willing to go out for a walk, which is naturally a good thing.
The porter replied: "He is alone, and the slave wants to follow, but he is not allowed." ”
"If he asks you, you will say that I called him."
"Ah," the porter replied, and left in a hurry.
At this time, Xie Wei had not gone far from the door, and the porter walked outside the mansion, following the direction he was walking, and saw him in a short time.
Among the Qinhuai Riverside columns, there are many fireworks places, and there is even a street from the street to the end of the street, a whole row of more than a dozen shops, all of which are Qinlou Chu Pavilion, this street is called "Flower Street", and then there is a small alley, just connected with the flower street, a street and an alley are in the shape of "Ding", and the alley is also a flower workshop, so the name is "Willow Lane", Jiankang has a prestigious Qing Dynasty people and red people, all in this Flower Street Willow Lane.
The few green buildings opened by Cheng Cheng before this are in Willow Lane.
As early as when Xie Wei was in Boling, he had already heard of the Qinhuai beauties in Liuxiang of Flower Street, and this time when he left the house, no one was allowed to follow, he just wanted to go and see, and he stayed in the house for two days, which can be described as unbearable.
He groped blindly all the way, but he also found the flower street, so he walked along a street, from the street to the end of the street, and looked into the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou with his head, his eyes lit up, and he really looked like a hungry wolf.
The house at the end of the street is called "Hongwen Pavilion", Xie Wei walked outside, glanced inside, and listened to the young lady standing at the door with a coquettish smile, he was not moved, and couldn't help but make fun of the plaque on the door, the first two words, he recognized, is the "red" of "Yihong Courtyard", and a "Wen" word.
"Red ...... Wen? It's really interesting to have such a name for the good Qinglou, "Xie Wei said, then looked upstairs again, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman who looked like the princess of Wu County, leaning sideways on the balcony of the attic, shaking the small fan, looking ahead, clearly like a quiet virgin, like a quiet lady, but every gesture is full of charm.
Xie Wei looked up at her, she was already a little distracted, and the woman noticed it, so she also lowered her eyes slightly to look at him, but she never lowered her head, looking condescending.
Suddenly, something fell, it turned out to be a woman's personal handkerchief, the woman threw the handkerchief towards Xie Wei, Xie Wei reached out and took it, put it on the tip of his nose and took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes for a face of enjoyment, when he opened his eyes again, he saw the woman smile at him, he became more and more moved, the woman's smile was really provocative.
Xie Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't wait to fly up immediately to hug the beauty, but he was clumsy, so he had to go, he raised his feet and was about to go in, so coincidentally, the porter chased after him at this time, and shouted: "Xie Langjun!" ”
He was stunned for a moment, so he looked back, and saw the porter running panting, so he looked bored and scolded: "Why are you here! Didn't you stop coming along? ”
The porter ran to him and sneered, "It was Xie Niangzi who ordered the slave to follow." ”
Xie Wei frowned, his face was full of anger, and before he could think about it, he opened his mouth and said, "She asked you to come with you, and you followed?" She's older than me! ”
The porter looked at Xie Wei in a daze, thinking in his heart how could this Xie Langjun dare to say such a thing, Xie Niangzi is the county lord, and he is just a scholar Langjun, who respects and who is inferior? Besides, even if Xie Niangzi is not the county lord, she has already become the master in the Hou Mansion, and he is just a guest......
Xie Xu realized that he had said the wrong thing again, so he glanced at the porter, and then said, "What did she send you to do?" Spying on my brother? ”
He said, and without waiting for the porter to answer, he immediately turned around and wanted to go in, but the porter glanced at the inside of the hall, and then hurriedly dragged him and said to him: "Xie Langjun, this is the land of fireworks, but you can't go." ”
Xie Wei lowered his eyes and looked at the porter's hand pulling his sleeve, which could be described as a look of disgust, the porter hurriedly let go of his hand, Xie Wei then straightened out this gorgeous dress, and said with disdain: "I have money, why can't I go!" ”
The porter was embarrassed and said: "Xie Niangzi is now the lord of Hengyang, you are her brother, every word and deed is related to her decency, you go to this fireworks alley to lose your identity, Xie Niangzi is afraid that she will be blamed." ”
Xie Wei didn't want to listen at all, but raised his head impatiently and looked at the woman above, and the woman was also looking at him, but with a cold face, the two looked at each other like this, the woman stared at her, snorted coldly, and then got up and walked away, Xie Wei was anxious, and hurriedly called: "Eh! Little beauty! ”
was calling, so he raised his legs to rush in, but after thinking about it left and right, he still didn't dare to go in, but he just turned around and said: "What is decent or undecent!" In my opinion, she was afraid that I would reach out and ask her for money! ”
With that, he snorted coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away, and the porter had to follow him.
But when he walked to the mouth of another alley, he saw the lively gambling house, so he couldn't help but stop, stood at the door and looked inside, and happened to see a beggar in sparse clothes come out of it, holding a hand of broken silver, he saw that people had won money, naturally it was itching, so he rubbed his hands, and raised his feet to go in.
The porter pulled him back and kindly persuaded him: "Xie Langjun, this is a place that is not trivial, and I can't go there!" ”
Xie Wei was finally annoyed now, and took off the porter as soon as he could, but scolded Xie Zhenglai, and blurted out: "This can't be done!" I can't go there! What have I become, and she wants to control me like this? If that's the case, then I won't be her brother! ”
The porter was stunned, and Xie Wei realized that it was not appropriate to say this, so he hurriedly made a round and said: "Only my brother is in charge of my sister, how can my sister be in charge of my brother?" She, she, she...... She's so unbelievable! As he spoke, he involuntarily raised his hand and pointed in a random direction.
"Don't worry, Xie Niangzi is also for your good, there are mixed fish and dragons here, do you know which one is good and which one is bad?" After the concierge finished speaking, Xie Wei put down his hand and asked rhetorically, "Mixed fish and dragons?" What is a mixture? Which one is the fish and which one is the dragon? You mean to show me! ”
The porter was shocked when he heard this, glanced left and right, and then hurriedly said, "Hey! Xie Langjun, you can't talk nonsense! If this is heard, it will be a loss of head! ”
As he spoke, he lowered his voice so low that he lowered his body a little, with a gesture of begging for mercy, and he was really afraid of this Xie Wei now.
"Dragon" is the Son of Heaven, vainly mentioning the Son of Heaven, this is undoubtedly a big disrespect, even the porter knows the truth, but this Xie Wei as a Lang Jun from the scholar clan does not know, this is really laughing.
Xie Wei seemed to say the wrong thing that should not be said with one mouth, in the end he was a vulgar person, he was really scared after listening to the reminder of the porter, so he also glanced around, and saw that there was no one next to him, so he was naturally stunned, so he breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he quickly walked away.
The porter also followed behind him, and left in a hurry with him, the two walked to the royal street, Xie Wei walked in front, suddenly stretched out one hand in front of him, and the other hand reached into the sleeve pocket and touched it, and glanced back slightly.
He put down his hand and asked, "Do you know where the biggest pawnshop in Jiankangcheng is?" ”
The porter didn't think much about it, so he stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the north, and said, "The one in front." ”
Xie Wei glanced forward, and then turned his head sideways and said to the porter: "I'll come when I go, you don't have to follow." ”
After he had finished speaking, he walked forward, and the porter was not very relieved, so he followed two more steps, and he started a fire again, and rebuked: "I told you not to follow, don't you understand human words!" ”
The porter was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, and he didn't move, Xie Wei snorted coldly again, and left without looking back, the porter looked at him and walked away, sighed, and his face was full of helplessness and disappointment that hated iron and steel, and only said: "Xie Niangzi has always been humble and kind, knowledgeable and courteous, how can there be such an unenterprising brother!" ”
After that, he stopped following Xie Wei, turned around and went back to the Hou Mansion.
And Xie Wei entered the pawnshop, the little guy in the store saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, so he came over and patted the fart, this praise and good words, no one has not liked to listen to it since ancient times, but it is Xie Wei this guy, naturally he is even more happy, he walked to the desk, and took out the treasure that had been hidden for a long time from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to the shopkeeper sitting in it through the iron railing on the desk table.
What he sent to the people was a silk handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers, folded squarely, as if it was wrapped with something valuable, and that was "his treasure".
The shopkeeper opened the silk handkerchief, and as soon as he saw the things inside, his eyes widened, and it was clearly a surprise on his face, as if he had seen some rare treasure, and whispered: "This is the best Huanglongyu!" ”
Xie Wei didn't hear what he said, just squinted his eyes, looked like a ruffian, and said contemptuously: "How is it, how much is this thing worth?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Xie Wei, held the Huanglongyu in his hand, pretended to be contemptuous, and said: "This thing is luster, transparent, warm and soft, it seems to be a piece of Huanglongyu, but in fact it is just a wax stone, not worth a few dollars." ”
Xie Wei was surprised, and said suspiciously: "How can this be a wax stone, it is clearly jade!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, wanting to take back the treasure, but the shopkeeper didn't let go, and only smiled: "With my eyes, there are not a thousand pieces of jade that I have appreciated, let alone 800 pieces, I can't tell the difference between this wax stone and jade?" However, the quality of this wax stone is not bad, depending on your sincerity to sell, this price is not negotiable. ”
"Hmph," Xie Wei saw the shopkeeper's thoughts, so he looked at him disdainfully, and said, "This is a gift from the emperor, do you dare to say that it is inferior?" ”
This excellent Huang Longyu said that it was given by the emperor, and when he said this, the shopkeeper naturally believed it, but now seeing Xie Wei like this, he did not show weakness, and sneered: "You dare to take out the things given by the emperor and pawn them?" ”
"This is Hengyang ......" Xie Wei spit these words to his mouth, and swallowed them back raw, but the shopkeeper was aggressive and deliberately asked: "What is Hengyang?" Tell me about it. ”
Xie Wei was refuted so much that he had nothing to say, hesitated for a moment, and without saying a word, he reached over again, wanting to snatch the baby back, but the shopkeeper withdrew his hand when he saw the situation, and did not allow him to snatch it back, only said: "This is indeed Huanglongyu, if you sincerely want to sell, I can give you a good price." ”
Xie Wei glanced at him, but still didn't look at him, so he withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, you can tell me how much you can sell!" ”
The shopkeeper didn't speak, so he stretched out his hand, raised five fingers, and asked tentatively, "Five thousand taels?" ”
Indeed, this Huang Longyu, in the eyes of an illiterate person, was worth a thousand taels, but seeing that the shopkeeper had nothing to say, Xie Wei was surprised: "Five hundred taels? ”
The shopkeeper finally shook his head and said triumphantly, "Fifty taels." ”
"Fifty taels?" Xie Wei was stunned, and immediately said angrily: "Are you robbing?" Do you think I don't know the price of Huanglongyu? Give it back to me, I'm not selling! ”
The shopkeeper was simply this time, seeing that he reached out to take it, he changed it without thinking about it, Xie Wei glanced at him again, and then turned around to leave, the shopkeeper said in a strange voice at this time: "Jiankang's biggest pawn shop is my house, don't blame me for not reminding you, in this world, there are few people who know more than me, should you step out of this foot, you have to think carefully." ”
Xie Wei hesitated, and finally sent the baby to the shopkeeper again, the shopkeeper was as happy as a treacherous plan, and immediately ordered the little guy to take the silver taels, and then took out a pawn ticket, pushed it to Xie Wei, glanced at him casually, and said disdainfully: "Redemption for half a year, the ransom is doubled, if it can't be redeemed within half a year, it will be dead, press the handprint." ”
Xie Wei looked at the astronomical small words on the pawn ticket, and pressed his handprint without thinking about it, but he didn't know that the ransom written on the pawn ticket was not "double the deposit price", but "gold thousand taels".
When the little servant took the money and handed it to him, he immediately left happily with the money bag.
He went to the outside of the pawnshop, and then went north, but after walking a few steps, he remembered that he had ordered the porter to wait outside, so he turned and looked to the south, but there was no porter, and he looked around again, but there was still no one.
He was secretly happy in his heart, and shook the money bag in his hand, and only whispered: "It's just that no one is looking at Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is still desperate!" After speaking, he turned back along the road he had come, and said with a smile: "Little beauty, brother, I'm here!" ”
