Chapter 53: Marry a wife, have children, and change your name
The two men brought the tea, approached a table, and asked curiously, "What's the fun happening lately?" ”
The person at the table waved his hand and said with disgust: "It's only noon to ask about things, and you won't do anything in the afternoon?" Drink it and get out quickly. ”
"That is, at noon, I came to hear people brag...... "and someone said, "drink and go to work!" ”
The two men looked embarrassed, drank the tea and walked out of the tea bathhouse.
came to talk to people at noon, and he was indeed disliked.
Zhang Xiaolei shouted to the shopkeeper: "Little Er, come and ask if something is done?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and asked with a smile, "Guest officer, what are you asking?" ”
"You said that those two people were the tea ...... invited by the deceived immortal Li Fengwu," Zhang Xiaolei asked, "When did he ask for tea?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and then replied, "About a month ago." ”
"Oh? A month ago? ”
"Yes, he had dinner with someone in the private room here at that time, gave us a hundred taels of silver, and said that he would invite friends from the rivers and lakes to tea."
"Why give a hundred taels?"
"It is rumored that he owes the Shao family a favor, and then he wrote to the Shao family and asked what the Shao family wanted."
"The result?"
As a result, the Shao family asked him to send money to the tea soup house in Yuncheng and Maicheng, and use it to invite friends to tea. We gave a hundred taels on our side, and it is said that Yuncheng gave a thousand taels on the other side. ”
Zhang Xiaolei was surprised: "One thousand taels? How long is it going to eat? ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "If you want me to say, the Shao family is really a waste of this favor." Is it worth it to pay off his dignified Li Fengwu's favor with 1,100 taels? ”
"It's not worth it."
"This seems to be proposed by the new head of the Shao family."
Zhang Xiaolei bit his lip and said, "The new head of the family should give Li Fengwu a face, and let him use money to settle the favor." ”
It's Shao Xiaoling.
But why didn't she tell herself?
Zhang Xiaolei sighed deeply.
It seems that Shao Xiaoling probably doesn't want to make him sad.
After all, Li Fengwu did not come in person, but wrote a letter to ask the Shao family what kind of favor.
This also means that he will not come.
Since she won't come, Shao Xiaoling doesn't have any point in talking to him.
The shopkeeper said with emotion: "It is rumored that two years ago, Li Fengwu held a tea party in Cloud City, and at that time, all the people around Cloud City went to have a face. It's a pity that I'm not there, otherwise I would have been able to see it. ”
Zhang Xiaolei nodded and said, "Is there any other news about Li Fengwu?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "No, he has been very low-key in the past two years. ”
"That's the way he does things."
"He used to be low-......key, but now he is even more low-key," the shopkeeper said seriously, "There were even rumors that he was dead before, but he came to us last month to give us money, and everyone changed their words to say that he was not dead, but in seclusion." ”
Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile: "We naturally can't guess that kind of person's idea of doing things." I'm tired of you, pour a jug of water and wine. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Guest officer, the water in our Maicheng is good, and the rice wine produced tastes good, so I will give you a pot of rice wine to taste?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei asked: "Rice wine, is it drunk by people?" Can a creature drink rice wine? ”
"It's not interesting for the guest officer to talk like this, then I'll get a pot of water and wine."
"Go."
The shopkeeper quickly brought all the water, wine and food, and after Zhang Xiaolei finished eating, he settled the account, packed up his things, and prepared to go on the road.
He wasn't going to stay in McTown for long.
There's a lot to do.
"Friend, wait a minute."
He had just packed his things when someone sat down next to him.
He turned his head and saw an old man dressed in simple clothes sitting beside him.
Zhang Xiaolei asked, "Who is this friend?" ”
"People call me Old Man Lotus."
"Where did this name come from?"
The old man smiled: "Every summer, I squat at the door of the tea soup house to sell lotus pods, so people call me old man lotus pods." But when autumn comes, I sell river crabs here. ”
Zhang Xiaolei asked, "What does Chundong sell?" ”
"Plant in the spring and rest in the winter."
Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "That old man is diligent, but why are you looking for me?" ”
The old man said seriously: "Last month, Li Fengwu came to this tea soup house to send money and told me one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
The old man recalled: "When he saw me squatting at the door, he asked me if I came every day. I told him yes, and he asked me to bring a message to a friend who was missing a finger and asked me to see if the friend's toe was missing. ”
Zhang Xiaolei was shocked.
Is it really Li Fengwu?
He hurriedly asked, "What does he want you to bring?" ”
The old man said curiously: "Friend, are you missing toes?" ”
"Yes."
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing."
"Touch it yourself."
Zhang Xiaolei raised his foot, and the old man put his hand on his shoe and pinched it twice.
"I'm really missing a toe......," said the old man Lianpeng, "Then Li Fengwu also told me that if I tell you this, you will guarantee me three years without worrying about food and clothing, is it true?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei said: "Then it depends on what the words are." ”
"Lian He's name is now Li Qiufeng, and he opened a restaurant in Zhoucheng, and the restaurant is called Zuiyue Building, marrying a wife and having children."
Zhang Xiaolei's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said softly: "I know." ”
Lian He was able to marry a wife and have children.
There was really no retribution.
The old man asked, "Can you keep me safe for three years?" ”
"Take it."
Zhang Xiaolei took out fifty taels of votes from his arms, and then asked, "Old man, give it to you for three years, is it enough?" ”
The old man nodded again and again, hurriedly took the ticket, and kept thanking him.
Zhang Xiaolei waved at him, signaling that he could go.
At this time, a burst of warmth suddenly rose in his heart.
Li Fengwu...... I'm still helping him find out about it.
"Why don't you talk to me personally......" he muttered, "you're so busy that you can't find time to meet me?" ”
That's fine.
I still don't think about it.
At least he could guess that he would go to Maicheng, which meant that he remembered him well.
Zhang Xiaolei pondered for a while, and suddenly said to the shopkeeper: "Guy, come to a pot of rice wine, I want the best in your shop." ”
The shopkeeper wondered: "Guest officer, you said earlier that rice wine is not drunk by people, why do you want it now?" ”
"You don't talk nonsense, just take it."
"The best rice wine in our store can be worth seven coins of silver."
"Got it, go get it."
The shopkeeper hurriedly entered the back kitchen, and soon a pot of rice wine came out.
When he came out, Zhang Xiaolei had already packed his bags, put the food money on the table, and was about to go out.
The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted, "Guest officer, aren't you drinking?" Or do you want me to take it away from you in a gourd? ”
Zhang Xiaolei pointed to the old man at the door and said, "Do you see that old man?" ”
"See."
"Do you see the black wild dog lying on the ground with its tongue stuck out behind the old man?"
"See."
"Take it and feed it."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he heard this: "Feed the dog?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said it earlier, that kind of thing...... Is it a human drink? ”
