"If the little brother can inquire about Brother Baokun's whereabouts, the silver ticket of 1,000 taels is just a fixed amount. If the little brother can convince Brother Baokun or any of his apprentices to come to Kyoto City to help Hua. The conditions that Hua said to the little brother before remain unchanged, and there is also a gift of 10,000 taels of silver. ”

One thousand taels, ten thousand taels!

How much is this?

The shopkeeper's pupils were magnified several times.

10,000 taels of silver is the silver that can buy two mansions in Jinfeng Town.

He worked tirelessly every day in the guest inn, and only took ten taels of silver for the moon.

One thousand taels was enough for him to be fortunate for ten or eight years. 10,000 taels of silver? He couldn't earn that much money in his life.

The temptation is just too great.

The shopkeeper made a decision in two seconds: "Cheng, young boy, please rest assured, the little one will go and find it, and it will definitely live up to the young boy's expectations." ”

He carefully picked up the silver ticket, quickly and carefully went out of the room, and went down the stairs lightly.

There was no one at the counter in the lobby on the first floor, and the shopkeeper had just gone to the backyard for something. The soles of his feet were smeared with some oil, and he rushed out of the inn with a "poof".

He was very clever, ran all the way home, and first handed over a thousand taels of silver tickets to the old lady: "Mother, you hide the silver tickets first, pack up your things, bring all the valuable things, and throw away the worthless ones." ”

His mother is sixty-eight years old this year, full of white hair, with a pale old face, she was frightened when she heard it, and she trembled and pinched the silver ticket in her hand, and her words were divergent: "Xiaozhu, what's wrong?" Where did the silver ticket come from, why are there so many? Why pack up? The town is so good, what are you causing trouble? ”

"Mother, how can my son cause trouble for you, it's a good life, and my son wants his mother to live a good life."

Xiao Zhu has been diligent in the store over the years, and he has a lot of private rewards. He took out dozens of taels of silver tickets and put them in his arms, and said to the old lady: "You just listen to your son." ”

"Good, good, good!"

When Jiang saw that his son was not in trouble, he put his mind at ease, and he was frightened and picked up a thousand taels of silver tickets, and hurriedly packed them up in a panic.

Xiao Zhu made up his mind, so he naturally wanted to settle down with Mrs. Ha first. It didn't take much effort, and the old lady packed up her things.

His yard is small, there are only two broken thatched huts, but he is filial piety, and his family bought a donkey and a small carriage with a shed.

Except for the wheels, which were bought in the town, the rest of the carriages were built one by one by small buildings.

Originally, it was used for the old lady to have a relative who was sick, and these came in handy.

Although Jiang is eighty out of sixty, his spirit and physique are very tough, and he can run hundreds of miles with a donkey cart. What's more, the sister's house in front of her is only a 300-mile walk.

"Mother, you go to your aunt's house first and wait for your son. When your son earns money, he will be able to take you to live in a magnificent house in Kyoto City. You have to be careful on the road, the silver ticket will be robbed by someone. ”

Xiao Zhu set up the donkey cart, helped the old lady into the car, hung a big horse lamp on the frame, and sent the old lady out of the town.

Jinfeng Town is more than 200 miles away from Xiaoxinzhuang, where his aunt lives, and the sky is gradually beginning to darken.

Xiao Zhu looked at the donkey cart that was red in the sunset, and turned around to the Donglai Inn with a sigh of relief, looking for Xiaolian Mountain.

Dalian Mountain is Xiaolian Mountain's senior brother, and Xiao Zhu quickly found Xiao Lianshan with the signboard of Dalian Mountain.

In the evening, when Shen Shi was in the back kitchen, it was the busiest time, and when Xiao Zhu found Xiao Lianshan, he was in full swing directing a few guys in the back kitchen to prepare food.

"Shange, you come out first."

Xiao Zhu squeezed to Xiao Lianshan's side, and seeing that he didn't have any food to do, he whispered into his ear and said, stretched out his hand and stuffed ten taels of silver into his hand.

Xiao Lianshan squinted and secretly flew a glance at him, and his eyes pointed directly at the back door of the back kitchen.

As soon as Xiao Zhu saw that there was a door, he quietly walked out the back door with his feet upside down.

Behind the back of the kitchen is a small courtyard, and on the west corner is a lounge.

Xiao Zhu sat in the lounge and waited for a while, only to see Xiao Lianshan come out of the back kitchen. He was more clever, and he estimated that Xiao Zhu must be a very secret thing to find him, so he locked the back door when he got out of the back kitchen.

The small courtyard at the back door is hidden, and the lounge is in the west corner, and there are no windows in the front and back, left and right, and when you close the door, you can put what you want to say in the door, and no one will listen to it.

"Say, you kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you looking for me?"

Xiao Lianshan touched the ten taels of silver that were still warm, and asked Xiao Zhu while making tea.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you a little thing. Do you want to stay in our town for a long time, or do you have other plans? ”

Xiao Zhu took a bowl of tea, and while blowing the tea foam on it, he poured it down in a big gulp, smashed his mouth, and asked.

"What are you doing here, Senior Brother asked you to visit me, or are you young owners?"

Xiao Lianshan poured two small bowls of tea, took it on his lips and took a sip, squinting and smiling and asked Xiao Zhu.

"It's not Brother Lianshan, it's not my family's young owner, it's what I mean."

Xiao Zhu cautiously drank the tea from the tea bowl, wiped his mouth, and went to get another bowl, raised his eyelids and asked mysteriously: "What do you have in mind, let me know the bottom?" ”

"What?"

Xiao Lianshan saw that his face was serious, he grinned, his eyes flashed with brazenness, and he smiled heartily: "What the hell are you?" Where can we go here? With this bit of craftsmanship, out of Jinfeng Town, how can there be so much game for us to make? I'm not crazy, where else can I go? ”

"So, you're a little bit of a plan?"

Xiao Zhu heard that this was a bit of a door, and hurriedly said, "Let's change our thinking." If you have a thousand taels of silver, and a better salary, you will be paid twice as much as the young proprietor of the Upper East Inn. Will you leave Jinfeng Town? ”

"What's that?"

Xiao Lianshan still looked at Xiao Zhu like a joke, "What can you do with a thousand taels of silver?" This is also in our Jinfeng Town, at most buy a bigger house, or buy dozens of acres of good land. But the treatment of this thing depends on what you want to say, put it there, our town is remote, there is no big expense, I am fifty taels a month, and then twenty or thirty taels, it is really rich.

But even if you don't have a hundred taels of silver a month, isn't it useless to get to Longyang City? What's more, when our craft reaches a big place, we may not be able to manage the entire kitchen, not a matter of silver. Is it level, level, do you understand? ”

Xiaolianshan thinks about it comprehensively, and the money is more expensive, and if it is controlled by others, it is not as comfortable as a small place.

He actually has no ambitions, and saving money for a few more years and marrying a beautiful daughter-in-law is enough to be satisfied.

So he asked Xiaozhu: "Explain, why do you ask this?" Did the senior brother send you to visit me? ”

"This matter really has nothing to do with Brother Lianshan."

Xiao Zhuyi waved his hands and thought carefully about his cheeks: "What do you mean is that if you are given a big restaurant, you have the final say, and there is a place to live, and the moon silver is still very high." This level can be equated with Hadonglai Inn, right? ”

"How can I speak so that you can't understand me?"

Xiao Lianshan shook his head: "Let's say so." I! ”

He pointed to his chest, "Born and raised in Jinfeng Town." I am sixteen years old this year, and I have been learning the craft from Master since I was four years old. The young owner of the Donglai Inn has always valued me, and the monthly silver given is also the highest in the town. There's kindness and affection in it. It's not about money, you still don't understand this level?

When people live, they have to talk about their conscience, no matter how good the treatment is, I can't do anything that is not eye-catching, right? ”
