Chapter 35: Peers Are Enemies
Sleepless nights.
Yao Hei'er tossed and turned on the bed and thought, how much of Dusin's words are true? If he hadn't done it, who would have done it? Shanjia Village is a small mountain village that is inaccessible, and there are few people in and out, who found out the identity of his mother and sister-in-law, and why should this person have trouble with himself? What good will it do him?
Tomorrow, should I follow Du Sin's words and wait for him at the Geji Seal Shop? If you don't go, do you have any other choice?
What kind of situation will the mother and sister-in-law face? According to Xu Guo's decree, fugitive slaves were to be whipped one hundred times, imprisoned for one year, and returned to their old masters. However, the old owner was obviously Tang Ji under Uncle Li, and he bought it under a false name, so who will Dali Temple give people back? Will this matter be investigated and involve Uncle Li and Tang Ji?
The more I think about it, the more I have a headache, and the more I think about it, the more I lose my mind.
If it was true that this was not done by Dusing, would Dussing know who did it? If he is willing to investigate, he can always find out, but I don't know if he will help himself.
Yao Hei'er found that she had begun to slowly believe Dusin's words. She hurriedly reminded herself what kind of beast this Dusin was! He betrayed his father-in-law's family for the sake of glory and wealth, and he abandoned his wife and daughter in order to marry a new love, what else could he not do?
By the way, here's the problem, it seems that Dusin does things only to see if it's good for him. What is good should be done when the conscience is lost; What is not good, he is too lazy to do. Reporting his mother and sister-in-law obviously didn't do Dusin any good. Could it be that this was really not done by Dusin?
So, why should he help himself? What's in it for him?
The windows are starting to turn white. Yao Hei'er rubbed her aching head, turned over and sat up.
After washing, she walked downstairs, and the young man hurriedly greeted her and smiled: "Guest officer, so early?" Want something to eat? ”
Yao Hei'er waved his hand, and the young man retreated very knowingly.
Hancheng is a very prosperous city, on the street in front of the inn, since the fifth watch after the ban, the people who set up stalls on the roadside to do small business, in the shortest possible time, all came out, selling Hu cakes, vegetable cakes, enema, fried fruits, selling clothes, shoes and hats, sweat towels, ornaments, vegetable markets, fish markets, divination, selling medicine, everything. It wasn't until the curfew that they suddenly disappeared again.
Naturally, those shops were not far behind, and not long after the small stalls appeared, they also opened one after another.
Yao Hei'er walked around the street and went to a small snack shop to eat a bowl of gruel and a hu cake. I remembered that Dusin said that he should change into a better dress, but in order not to attract attention, he brought coarse brown clothes, so he wanted to find a silk and satin shop and buy a grosgrain gown.
At the end of this street, there are several large silk and satin shops, and next to the silk village, there are ready-to-wear shops. Yao Hei'er put her hands behind her back, thinking about her thoughts while walking, and suddenly heard a noise in front of her, and hurriedly looked up, only to see a group of people surrounding, but it was where those silk villages were located.
Yao Hei'er didn't want to listen to people's disputes, but because she wanted to buy clothes, she had to squeeze in, ready to buy clothes and leave, and when she heard the two people arguing, she couldn't help but look at it twice.
On both sides of the quarrel, one is a middle-aged man wearing a brown longevity group silk dress, with a slightly chubby figure and red ears and red ears; One was an elderly man in a dark silk robe, with white hair and hair, trembling with anger all over his body.
I only heard the old man say angrily: "Shopkeeper Hu, we have been neighbors for so many years, as the saying goes, 'distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors', you actually slandered me everywhere, saying that my family's silk is defective, what are your intentions?" If it weren't for a few frequent customers who talked to me, I wouldn't have known! No wonder our family's business has become lighter and lighter in the past few months, it turns out that you are making trouble behind your back! ”
A trace of shame appeared on the middle-aged man's face, but he immediately wiped it away, stroked his beard, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Jin, you must have a basis for what you say, I look at you at such an age, and you have a relationship with your father, when did you lose respect to you?" You have framed me like that! Who says I'm a trickster? You have the proof! ”
The old man's beard also trembled with anger, and he said angrily: "People kindly told me, did I still betray others? What did you do yourself, and you don't know in your heart? People are doing it, and the sky is watching! I advise you to be kind, everyone is a peer, fair competition is duty, if you use three indiscriminate means, be careful of retribution! ”
The middle-aged man's face became redder and redder, and when he heard this, he became even more angry, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush over: "You bad old man! What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you say is the next three abuses? Haven't you done the next three indiscriminate things? How did your family's business get up, do you know it in your heart? ”
Looking at the excitement on the side, seeing that the fight was about to start, he hurriedly came up to dissuade: "Let's go!" Cease! Cease! It's all about business, and it's kind of to make money! Harmony makes money! One person gives a step! One person gives a step! Shopkeeper Hu, you are young, you can't suffer a loss, let the shopkeeper say a few words! Gold Shopkeeper! You are an old man, don't worry about the juniors! ”
Yao Hei'er had something in her heart, and she didn't want to see more, so she walked through the crowd, went to the ready-to-wear shop, picked out a jade-colored robe, and bought a primrose-colored turban, and was about to pay the silver, when she suddenly heard a big chaos on the street, and someone shouted: "Fight!" Beat! Kill one today, count one! ”
The young man in the ready-to-wear shop shook his head, as if talking to himself, and as if he said to Yao Hei'er: "Since ancient times, 'peers are enemies', and the two families who used to be good were just because they did the same kind of business, so they became enemies!" You slander me behind my back, and I slander you secretly. ”
Yao Hei'er's heart suddenly moved, and she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with these two?" ”
Because the people on the street were all watching the excitement, the young man was lonely in the store, and he wished that someone would talk to him, so he whispered: "It's not a business fight?" You see that today seems to be the gold shopkeeper is reasonable, in fact, the gold shopkeeper did not make a few crooked tricks, there was originally a Tang Ji silk village here, the business was booming, at that time the gold shopkeeper relied on his son was a small official in the yamen, three days and two heads secretly ruled the Tang family, the Tang family's business slowly went down, the Jin family only got up. Later, the son of the Jin family made a mistake and was dismissed, and now he is also bullied to the head. ”
Yao Hei'er took out the silver and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are not very old, you know a lot." ”
The young man scratched his scalp embarrassedly and said with a smile: "This guest officer is smiling, I also heard our old shopkeeper talk about it, and I only found out." He often told us that we must be careful in doing business, so as not to be caught. As he spoke, he took the silver, weighed the silver, and used silver scissors to hinge a small piece to return it to Yao Hei'er, but saw that the guest officer's face suddenly became gloomy, and he didn't even accept the silver he had returned, and left in a hurry.
The little guy said "hey-" and saw that Yao Hei'er had no intention of turning back, so he secretly laughed and said: "It's you who don't answer, it's not that I won't look for you, I'm happy to make a white fortune!" ”
