Chapter 23: Woe to you
Seeing that there was no one around, Uncle Gao sat on the bench with a scoundrel face, crossed Erlang's legs, and reached out to pat the soil stuck to his robe. Seeing that Aunt Gao didn't speak for a long time, she rolled her eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." Now there is no one, and I won't embarrass you. β
Aunt Gao pondered and suppressed her grievances for a long time, and looked at her brother's unsuccessful appearance, and finally burst out: "Brother, you are also over half a hundred years old, and you should also grow up." β
Uncle Gao was originally a scoundrel, and his sister suddenly had a heart-to-heart with him, and when he said such things, he was really difficult to adapt to for a while.
"Sister's theory, teach your master well, and let your master rise to the top. My brother is already half buried in the loess, so I really don't need my sister's theory. My sister didn't even waste her efforts on my brother. After speaking, he stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and in the long nails, there was black nail dirt hidden, grinning, gray and black nails, going in and out between the black and yellow teeth, and finally in a black cavity cavity, he pulled out a trace of green vegetable tendons, stretched it out in front of his eyes, looked at it, and popped it out again.
The vegetables in the teeth were pulled out, the teeth were comfortable, but the throat and nose were slightly uncomfortable, took a deep breath, hummed a mouthful of thick phlegm from the nose, and the cheeks that were swollen with a full beard were spit out a few meters away.
Aunt Gao said half angrily and half disgustingly, "What are you doing today?" β
Uncle Gao saw the slowness in his sister's tone, and then crossed Erlang's legs and said, "What do you say I am doing?" β
"Ridiculous! I know what you're going to do? β
"Ask yourself, how long has it been since you sent me money, and do you want to starve our family? Ruthless hooves. β
Aunt Gao knew that her brother was already this material, so she no longer persuaded with such a face, and simply said coldly: "The 500 taels I just sent a few days ago have been used up?" β
Uncle Gao swooped, sneered, and said, "A few days ago? It's been two β a month. As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers to Aunt Gao.
Aunt Gao only glanced at the nail dirt of the nails, twisted her face to the side, and said, "500 taels have been spent?" β
"Where can this bit of silver be tossed for a few days, it has long been used up, it has been cold for a few days, your sister-in-law sighs at home all day long, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, do you think I am willing to come to your door and look at your cold eyes?"
Aunt Gao had worked hard to save up the silver for a few months, and her brother spent it in a blink of an eye, and she was very disgusted in her heart. But he couldn't, so he could only persuade and explain: "Brother, your flower method always has a mountain of gold, and there is also a day when you are defeated." β
"Don't cry to me, I've heard that Wanyun has been selected as a nun to be chosen, okay, let's have a brother and sister, you eat meat, you have to let my brother and I drink some soup."
"Brother...... It is precisely because Wanyun was selected that it is the time to spend money, so you can't let Wanyun enter the palace with empty baggage and let others laugh at her. β
"...... That's your master's business, it has nothing to do with me, you have money, pull a mountain of gold into the palace, that's your decency, what does it have to do with me? I only ask you, do you give silver? β
When Aunt Gao saw that her brother was cheating, she also said, "I don't want any silver." After a pause, he felt really sorry for the 500 taels of silver that had been spent, and said, "500 taels, brother, you just spent it like this?" Why don't you even have a little calculation in your heart? β
"Less nonsense, I only ask you, do you have any silver?"
"Nope." Aunt Gao said categorically.
Uncle Gao saw that his sister had no room for negotiation this time, and he also knew that a few days ago, he made up 500 taels for himself at once, and it would be difficult for his sister to take out the silver for a while. Looking at Aunt Gao's green jade step on her head and the red envelope ring on her hand today, they are all finely carved and high-quality goods.
made up his mind, got up and leaned in front of Aunt Gao, patted the dust on his sleeve, and pretended to wipe his sister's tears, ready to take the sheep by the hand.
"Sister, if my brother hadn't been exhausted, he wouldn't have come over to embarrass you and embarrass you......" wiped Aunt Gao's tears with his left hand, and quickly pulled the green jade from Aunt Gao's bun with his right hand. took Aunt Gao's hand again and took off the ruby ring on Aunt Gao's hand.
The two things are one before the other and the other in the blink of an eye. Before Aunt Gao could react, Uncle Gao had already succeeded, retreated to the crack in the door, and prepared to escape.
Bu Shao was originally holding a strand of hair, Bu Shao was taken away by Uncle Gao, and the strand of hair also fell off, Aunt Gao instantly understood that her brother actually took advantage of her tears to wipe her tears, and stole Bu Shao, but before she could react, the ring on her hand was also taken away.
It's okay to shake it to him, but the ruby ring was given to Wanfen by the master, and if you ask about it in the future, it's not easy to make up for it. What's more, the red treasure is a rare red agate for tribute in the Western Regions, and my brother doesn't know the goods, so he must have been deceived by the pawnshop guys. The pawnshops in the capital are also the property of the fourth master of the master's family, and the elder brother took such a rare object to pawn, if it is not good, if it reaches the ears of the master. That's trouble.
Thinking of this, he said to his brother who had already stepped out on one leg, "Brother stay." β
"What? Don't want to take your two pieces of jewelry? β
"Brother, that step shake is a green jade, it can be worth more than 100 taels, the ruby ring is not worth much, you give it back to me."
Uncle Gao is a scoundrel in the market, and when he saw that his sister didn't want to be expensive, but wanted to be cheap, he knew that he was deceiving himself, so he scolded: "Phew-fart, it's worthless, what are you going to do back it?" β
Aunt Gao knew that her brother couldn't be deceived, and said: "There are few rings in the capital, and they are rare objects that the Western Regions paid tribute to the palace. On Wanfen's birthday, the lord gave Wanfen a reward, and I took it because Wanfen was young. β
"In this way, you can buy a lot of money." Uncle Gao was happy to bloom, a mouthful of saliva sticky on his yellow teeth, Aunt Gao only glanced at it, and then twisted away.
"If you want to die, I won't stop you, I just ask you, which pawnshop are you going to?"
"What's your business, my business, don't worry about your aunt and grandmother, take care of your own business."
"You are my brother, I just asked you, you pawn with a ring, aren't you afraid of people reporting to the official?"
"Bah, you are still my own sister, and even you look down on me? You don't understand the rules in the pawn shop! You don't mind my business. β
"I don't bother to care about you, it's just that eight out of ten pawn shops in the capital are all bought and sold by the fourth master of the master's family, and the remaining two stops, knowing that you are pawning with this ring, don't think about it, just make up your mind that it is our family's things, aren't you afraid that the master knows?"
Only then did Uncle Gao realize his sister's intentions, took back the leg that he had carried out, walked into the porch, and said, "Give it back to you, butβtoβthe left and right are exchanged for silver, and you exchange the money for it!" β
"If you want money, don't die, you just go out and pawn, be careful that the master breaks your legs!"
"Hmph-you said I didn't dare, I was going to show you."
"Brother, this ring is worth 1,000 taels at least, don't get into trouble."
When Uncle Gao heard 1,000 taels, a light flashed in his dim pupils, and it was impossible to let go: "It's my own business to die, my aunt and grandmother don't make a show, and the cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion." β
After saying that, a puff of smoke slipped out of the room and disappeared into the night.
