Chapter 40: Filial Son
came to such a sentence coldly, and Zhuang Zhengde, who was frightened, almost sat on the ground, "Old shopkeeper, you speak slowly, don't worry." ”
In the past, when someone in the family died, they would generally go to a special longevity store to buy a longevity dress for the deceased to wear. But if you have a little foundation at home, you will find a tailor to make a well-fitting shroud for the deceased to wear, and most of the folk shroud styles are made by imitating official uniforms.
A tailor with good craftsmanship makes a shroud comparable to an official uniform, of course, this kind of thing still can't be known to the government, otherwise it will be a big disrespectful crime.
A few days ago, Fang Youcai took over such a job and went to a big family in the south of the city to make a shroud for the terminally ill eldest son. Since it is a fit, it is inevitable to get started, this eldest son is already dying, and he is hanging by the last breath of life.
As a result, when the family helped Fang Youcai lift the eldest son's waist, the eldest son's anger spit out.
The last person he saw in his eyes before he died was Fang Youcai, and the eldest prince was angry, and slowly the other party Youcai spit out three words: Don't let you sleep...... After saying that, he tilted his head and drove to the west.
This scene scared Fang Youcai half to death, but he still finished measuring it, and he didn't think much about it at the time, and took advantage of this bad luck to ask the master for an extra ten taels of silver on the spot.
After hearing Fang Youcai say this, Zhuang Zhengde scolded this greedy old shopkeeper in his heart. You sighed, Zhuang Zhengde said patiently, "Old shopkeeper, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." Let's talk about this first, you shouldn't have taken this file to buy and sell, and the person who is about to die is always a little longing. ”
"Second, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, since it has been said, it is best not to change the hexagram, not to mention that you still played such a play in front of the eyes of a person who has just swallowed his breath."
"Third, I can't do this for you, please be smart."
When the words landed, Zhuang Zhengde got up and left.
Looking at this situation, Fang Youcai was a little confused, but after all, it was still a matter of life. Fang Youcai hurriedly trotted two steps to stop Zhuang Zhengde, "Zhuang Gongzi, what are you doing, you have something to say." Is it a matter of money? Let's pay well, and I'll give you the ten taels of silver. ”
It's okay not to mention it, when the matter of the ten taels of silver is mentioned, Zhuang Zhengde is even more angry, and pushes Fang Youcai away, and walks out of the shop in three steps and two steps.
Fang Zhengyuan saw it in the front cabinet, and seeing his father hurriedly running out and looking around, Fang Zhengyuan hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" Why did Zhuang Gongzi run out? Did you two quarrel? ”
The old shopkeeper glanced at Fang Zhengyuan and said, "Whoever the hell you are looking for, they all said that they would give ten taels of silver, and they didn't help." It's disgusting! In the future, let him go wherever he likes, Lao Tzu will not serve! With that, he snorted and went back to the backyard.
Shaking his head helplessly, Fang Zhengyuan knew in his heart that this father had a bad temperament, and he had a falling out with the wrong words.
Coming out of the tailor's shop, Zhuang Zhengde wandered aimlessly on the street, thinking about it, except for being a little greedy for money and sex, there was nothing wrong with this old tailor. Maybe it was affected by other things, Zhuang Zhengde always felt a little unbreathable today.
After all, this is the first time that he has come out to exorcise evil spirits and diseases, and poor people always have something to hate, as long as it is not harmful, they should always help others.
For a while, Zhuang Zhengde blamed himself a little, but since he was gone, he couldn't pull his son back. In case the old tailor has three long and two short......
After struggling on the street for a quarter of an hour, Zhuang Zhengde shook his head or gave up, if it was Hu ...... It would be nice if Old Man Bai was here, there is always someone who can discuss a solution.
After distracting until the evening, Zhuang Zhengde staggered back to the house. Xiao Yue was not at ease, she had been guarding the door and looking around, and when she saw Zhuang Zhengde coming from afar, Xiao Yue rushed forward and punched Zhuang Zhengde, "Where did you die?" Don't know how to go home? ”
Smiling stupidly, Zhuang Zhengde scratched his head and said with a hippie smile, "I went out to see if the girl in Taizhou Mansion had become beautiful, but I found that she was still not as good-looking as Xiaoyue, so I hurried back." ”
Xiao Yue saw that Zhuang Zhengde had lost his previous depression, snorted beautifully, twisted his waist with both hands, and returned to the yard with a stagger.
After sweeping around the front yard, Zhuang Zhengde didn't look at Lin Dayou, and the disciples of the Wenhai Gang had already prepared dinner. Zhuang Zhengde went to the back and called the two female dependents to eat.
After a while, Lin Dayou came back with two brothers, and shouted when he entered the door, "Cousin, there is a man kneeling outside, and he won't get up when I ask him to get up, but he will only get up and speak when Zhuang Gongzi is angry and forgive him." ”
Throwing down the half-eaten steamed buns, Zhuang Zhengde hurriedly got up and walked out.
Kneeling outside the door was none other than Fang Zhengyuan from the tailor's shop.
Seeing Zhuang Zhengde come out, Fang Zhengyuan started to kowtow without saying a word, but he didn't have time to stop him, and Fang Zhengyuan's head was already red.
Everyone lifted Fang Zhengyuan up with all hands and feet, and the square-faced man cried and choked, "Zhuang Gongzi, save my father." My dad is not a thing, but his heart is not bad. For my sake, you can help. Outsiders don't know the situation, but I take care of my father night and night, there is really no way, Zhuang Gongzi, I beg you. ”
"Alas......"
dragged Fang Zhengyuan into the courtyard, and the big man stood aside and didn't speak, just wiping his tears there.
Looking at it, he was upset, Lin Dayou punched Fang Zhengyuan, "Why are you crying, can you cry your father?" There were a few little brothers around who had seen Fang Zhengyuan, and hurriedly got up and pulled Lin Dayou aside.
Zhuang Zhengde thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "I am also angry today, and I regret it when I go out, but I am a thin ......" When he said this, Zhuang Zhengde turned his head and looked at Xiaoyue, "I want to talk to you tomorrow, Fang Zhengyuan, you are really filial." If your father comes to ask for it, maybe I really don't want to deal with him. To tell you the truth, if your father is really vicious, I will never say a word more. ”
As soon as Zhuang Zhengde was relieved, Fang Zhengyuan wiped his tears and roared, "It's good to agree, it's good to agree, Zhuang Gongzi, let's go quickly, it's dark!" ”
Zhuang Zhengde picked up half of the steamed bun in his hand, a little crying and laughing, "Can you wait for me to eat, I don't know how long I have to stay up this night, I can't work hungry." I don't think you ate it either, so let's make it and eat it together. ”
Fang Zhengyuan swallowed his saliva and was a little embarrassed, Lin Dayou became angry when he saw this twisting and pinching appearance, and stepped forward and pulled Fang Zhengyuan to the table, "Eat quickly, you are really a stupid big man, you are white and have no ambition!" ”
Everyone present burst into laughter, and Zhuang Zhengde almost squirted out a mouthful of rice.
When the meal is finished, the hour is not early. Zhuang Zhengde saw that the time was about the same, so he borrowed a dagger from Lin Dayou, and pondered for a long time that there was nothing else to defend himself. Lin Dayou was not at ease, and he was arguing to go together, and Xiaoyue even echoed on the side that Zhuang Zhengde could not be allowed to take risks alone.
It was really reluctant, Zhuang Zhengde had no choice but to agree, so he took Lin Dayou to this tailor shop together.
The old tailor Fang Youcai sat at the door and drank alcohol, thinking that if he had drunk himself, he should not be able to make trouble this night. Looking at the street from afar, the son came with the two of them, and the old tailor fixed his eyes to see that it was Zhuang Gongzi, who had come in the afternoon.
Standing up suddenly, Fang Youcai stepped forward to say hello, a little embarrassed. At dinner in the evening, I saw Fang Zheng snorting out of the door, it turned out that he was helping him move the rescuers.
Zhuang Zhengde was not verbose, arched his hand towards Fang Youcai, and said, "Later, the old shopkeeper will go back to the house to sleep, and the three of us will guard in the courtyard, if there is any abnormality, we will come forward to rescue us." Old shopkeeper, please rest assured, for your son's sake, I helped with this favor. ”
"I'm ashamed, Zhuang Gongzi, I'm sorry for the afternoon. Then you bother, I'll have a few more sips and sleep a little faster. ”
After that, Fang Youcai finished the rest of the old wine in one gulp.
