Chapter 12: The First Encounter
Xu Guanghua settled the account, took the brush and handed it to Xu Qingyan to put it away, and the three of them were about to leave the bookstore. Xu Qingyan was about to go out, but she was hit by someone and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Xu Guanghua quickly helped her.
After Xu Qingyan stood firm, the first thing to do was to look for her brush, and the brush that had just been hit also flew out. Xu Qingyan swept the floor of the bookstore, only to find a lake-blue cloth bag wrapped in a brush in a corner, opened it and looked, Xu Qingyan suddenly felt heartache, this brush that she had not covered with heat in her hand was broken like this, it was broken like this.
"Cut, little girl, look at what you're wearing, and you're still learning to do knowledge, a broken brush, and you're nervous, it's really embarrassing." A young man's voice came.
This sentence completely ignited Xu Qingyan's anger, TNND, the tiger is not powerful, and the sister is a sick cat.
"What's wrong with the poor? The poor can't read and write, did they use your money or what, what qualifications do you have to make a big deal here, and my brush was broken after you hit it, shouldn't you compensate for it? Xu Qingyan asked angrily.
The young man snorted and said, "What a broken pen, I thought that Young Master Ben couldn't afford to pay it, so Wu Qing gave her the money." ”
After hearing this, Wu Qing said with an embarrassed face: "Young master, I forgot to bring money when I went out today." "Actually, where is the money not brought out, it is not good to have no money at all, because the last time the young master was in trouble, the master cut off the young master's monthly silver for three months, so let alone a brush of 200 Wen, now he can't take out 100 Wen.
After listening to Wu Qing's words, the young man seemed to think of the detention of Yueyin, Wu Qing said this just to take care of his face, but the words had been released just now, and now if he wanted to pick up the words again, he couldn't do it. For a while, I stood there a little embarrassed and blushing.
Seeing that the poor girl was looking at him with mocking eyes at this time, as if to say, "I know you have no money to compensate", Wu Tianyou was suddenly excited by that vision, and his blood was up, and he said to the shopkeeper: "Take another pen to her, the master didn't bring any money with him today, so you will record it in the account first, and go back to the house to get the money." ”
The shopkeeper asked with some hesitation: "......What is your mansion?"
"Wu County Lingjia, do you know?" Wu Tianyou said with an arrogant face. Wu Qing listened to the back with a cold waist, and thought to himself, "Young master, if you do this, the master will know, you yourself will inevitably be beaten, and we subordinates will also have to be unlucky." ”
Xu Qingyan looked at his unfortunate appearance, and was really angry. Combined with his expression just now, he concluded that this guy must not have much money, but he made a lot of money here, so don't blame her for knocking him out.
"This son, since it is something that has damaged others, how can you compensate for an ordinary one, and I was hit by you, so you have to compensate for it, you don't have to pay for the medical expenses, you can compensate me." After speaking, he pointed to a brush that cost 500 wen.
When Wu Tianyou saw the price, his face turned blue with anger, and he didn't know how to explain to his father for two hundred wen, let alone five hundred wen.
"You...... Don't go too far, your original brush is worth 200 yuan, and I will pay you the same thing, as for the medical expenses, I see that you are now standing here with full of vigor to bargain with me, and it doesn't look like an injury at all. ”
"How do you know that I'm fine, it's big or small if I hit it, and besides, didn't you just say that I was a poor girl, you are a young master. Since you are so rich and still want to rely on me for the medical expenses of a poor girl, do you still want to be shameless, and you still know the county son? Xu Qingyan gave him a look of contempt.
"You.... Who has to rely on your medical expenses, you have the ability to go to the hospital to check your injuries now, if there is really something, I will definitely compensate you for your medical expenses. Wu Tianyou's face turned red with anger.
"I said, the collision can be big or small, if there is no big thing, you won't compensate me, I said that as long as you compensate me, how about this matter be written off today? Young Master Wu won't be able to get five hundred words. "I knew you didn't have any money.
Wu Tianyou usually has the best face, and he has never been so excited, at this time, his blood is surging, and his mind is impulsive, so he agrees: "Okay, I will pay you the pen, and the shopkeeper will give her the pen, and the account will be on my head." ”
turned around and said to Xu Qingyan: "In the future, don't talk about today's matter, I will compensate you today." ”
Xu Qingyan took revenge and rectified the young master, she was in a good mood at this time, and replied with a smile: "No problem, today's matter is today, and it has nothing to do in the future." After that, she took the brush handed over by the shopkeeper and beckoned her father and uncle to leave.
From the moment they were hit, Xu Guanghua and Xu Guangqi stood by and watched, and Xu Qingyan would handle the whole process, also because of the young master's honest behavior.
Besides, although the young master seems to be a little sloppy, he is not a big traitor.
Later, when they heard that it was the son of the county order, they were even more relieved. Wu County Ling is a rare good official, and he will definitely not protect his son to embarrass them, so the two of them are very relieved to let Xu Qingyan handle it by themselves.
The three of them left the bookstore, and went to the rice shop to buy 100 catties of brown rice, and the two brothers left the rice shop with 50 catties on their backs, intending to bring a few meat buns to the family when they arrived at the city gate and went home.
Let's say that Young Master Wu's side just impulsively gave Xu Qingyan a brush of 500 yuan, and now that he calmed down, he couldn't help but tremble, thinking that if his father knew, the consequences would ...... He couldn't imagine that the best thing to do now was to get some money from elsewhere and write off the account, so his father wouldn't know.
So Young Master Wu took his subordinates to West Street, where there was a way to get money. "Wu Qing, how much money do I have, young master?" When he arrived at West Street, Wu Tianyou looked into the distance and asked.
"Well, there are seventy-eight in total, what do you want to buy, young master? We've got that little money left, and we'll need it for another two months! "The implication is that you save some flowers.
"Alright, I got it. Give me the money, and I'm going to use it now to pay off the 500 wen in arrears. "Then he walked forward alone.
Wu Qing looked at the direction in which his young master was going, the red banner of the "Auspicious Gambling House" in the distance was swaggering in the wind, and then he saw that the young master was clearly heading towards that place, and suddenly his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly shouted: "Young master, you can't go, you can't go there." After saying that, he hurriedly ran over and grabbed Wu Tianyou, who was about to walk forward.
Wu Lan, another servant of Wu Tianyou, was also frightened when he heard Wu Qing say this, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Wu Tianyou with Wu Qing and said, "Young master, you can't go, you can't enter the gambling house, otherwise if you let the master know, you will break your little legs." ”
"You two..... Then you say that if you don't go to the gambling house, where else can I find money to fill the account of the five hundred yuan, I can't fill the account, if the shopkeeper of the Sanjue bookstore makes trouble with my father, my father will not peel my skin, anyway, in the end, this is the result, it is better to go in and let go, maybe I am lucky to win the five hundred yuan back. ”
Wu Tianyou felt that it was a death anyway, so it was better to gamble, I have to say that Wu Tianyou was very afraid of him.
"Young master, why don't we find your friend Li Gongzi to borrow it first, and then we can pay him back after a few months?" Wu Qing saw that his young master was about to get back five hundred yuan, so he could only make a slightly more reliable suggestion.
"You mean to borrow money from Li Yuan, but I heard that he hasn't had a lot of money lately." Wu Tianyou couldn't help but say when he heard Wu Qing mention his unreliable friend.
"Childe, let's try it with him first, if it doesn't work, I will think of another way, if I can borrow it, won't it be the end of the matter!" Wu Lan also persuaded.
"Okay, then let's go find him, if we can borrow the best, if we can't borrow it, we can discuss whether there is any other way?" Wu Tianyou thought about it for a while, and finally decided to find a friend to find a way, although his friend was not very reliable.
