Chapter 104: When the mustache meets the second uncle

Chunying remembered Hu Fei. When he was at his house that day, he still thought that he would go over to help clean the house when he was free, but who knew that she hadn't opened the cloud pavilion in the past few days, and now she was leaving.

Second Uncle Lu did not object, so he drove the carriage to the end of Funing Street, and when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, he heard the sound of whispering in the alley. Chunying lifted the curtain of the car and looked over, only to see a lantern lit in front of the small courtyard of the Cheng family, and it was quiet inside, but there were three or four tall men standing in front of the door, staring at the small courtyard of Hu Fei's family, talking to each other. In the distance, a few neighbors hid in the corner and peeked.

What's going on? Could it be that someone came to trouble Hu Fei again? Chunying hesitated for a moment, looked back at the second uncle, who stared at those people a few times quietly, and asked in a low voice, "Which one are you going to?" Seeing Chunying nodding, she said, "If you know the person in the corner, let's go inside." Chunying understood, and accompanied Second Uncle Lu to avoid those men and came to the neighbors who were peeking. One of them was the woman from the neighboring courtyard of the Cheng family, and hurriedly took her hand: "Shhh Brother Hu didn't know that he was unlucky, and the owner suddenly brought someone to the door! ”

Chunying was taken aback and hurriedly looked at the small courtyard of Hu Fei's house. There was a faint conversation between Hu Fei and an unfamiliar male voice in the courtyard.

The male voice said: "Second son, it's not that I mean to embarrass you, it's really ...... I didn't expect things to be like this either. I'm just a small commoner, and I can't afford to offend nobles, so you can just move out, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Chun Ying was a little worried and listened to the homeowner's. Words, Hu Dashao must be playing tricks again, Hu Fei shouldn't be impulsive, right? No mistakes in many words

Several men at the door stared at the courtyard tightly, but did not move, Hu Fei spoke, and there was a faint anger in his voice: "You also have the face to say that you have read a book?!" The book says that people can't stand without faith, I have already paid the rent and made a document, how can you go back on your word?! ”

The owner of the house was a little sneering: "This ...... I'm not. Anyway, is this all forced...... The second son, although it is said that people should be trustworthy in the book, but the book also says that people should be filial to their parents. What about you...... Alas, it's not very glorious, so why do you want to stay here and linger on it? I heard that you are now mixed with some rough people in the market, and you don't know how to make trouble all day long, so that the outside world knows, Ling Zun is under the nine springs, and his face is also gloomy. You...... You'd better move out! ”

There was silence. Chunying heard it outside, thinking that the Hu family was also. It's too much, Funing Street is two streets away from the Hu family's mansion, Hu Fei didn't steal or rob, he was down-to-earth to support himself, how could they not even tolerate this?! Could it really be like what Hu Fei said, they wanted to force him away in order to hide the ugly things they had done?!

Chunying is still angry here, and the neighbors express a few words in private. Hu Fei's sympathy, she also echoed, but she didn't notice that a fine light flashed in the eyes of the second uncle beside her, looking at the old courtyard wall, thoughtful.

Hu Fei didn't take long before he spoke: "It's not that you asked me to move out. Yes. Chunying was taken aback when she heard this, and the neighbors immediately stopped talking to each other and looked at each other.

The homeowner was overjoyed: "Really? Second son, you are really ......"

"But I have conditions!" Wildly. Fei interrupted him, "At the beginning, my mother and I were only going to find a place to settle down, and we originally wanted to rent for a month, but you insisted that we pay three months' rent before we were allowed to move in, and we paid a total of six taels. Now that I have only lived for half a month, you want me to move out, and I have to return five taels of silver. ”

The owner's face was a little embarrassed, but he still responded: "Okay, I'll ...... it"

"Beyond that!" Hu Fei interrupted him again, "When I signed the lease document, I said that if either party defaults in less than three months, it will pay three times the silver!" Now you're in default, and you're going to have to pay me...... Twenty-two taels! Let's trade in cash, you give it to me tonight, and I'll move out early tomorrow morning! ”

The owner of the house was dumbfounded: "This ......" At the beginning, he thought that the mother and son would either be driven away or taken back to the Hu family, and they would not be able to live for three months, but they were just thinking about making more money, but he was unlucky now. He quietly calculated and calculated in distress, and suddenly said happily: "Even if you want to pay, it will be sixteen taels and five dollars!" Where's the twenty-two taels?! ”

"The rent returned is five taels and five cents, plus the silver for compensation, why is it not twenty-two taels? If you really want to calculate it carefully, the amount of money lost should be calculated according to the full rent, that is, a total of twenty-three taels and five dollars. However, you were willing to rent the house to my late mother and me, which helped a lot, and I didn't care about you, so I only charged twenty-two taels. Ah, by the way, there are still some furniture and miscellaneous items in the house, which are all cleaned up by my little servant, and it is inconvenient for me to take them away, so I will sell them to you at a discount, three taels of silver, including the twenty-two taels is twenty-five taels. Are you going to pay when the money is? Hu Fei's tone was very calm, "You don't want to?" You must know that this is written in black and white, if you want to break the contract...... Even if you get into trouble with the yamen, you won't be able to please you! ”

Chunying was stunned when she heard it outside, and the owner of the house was already stupid in the courtyard, and then she looked angry. Obviously, this Hu Ershao distorted the original meaning of the document, but he said it as if he was merciful. The things in this house are also worth three taels of silver?! The so-called little guy cleaned up, but bought new buckets, pots and bowls and other things, slightly repaired the original broken tables and chairs, repaired a few broken tiles, and then pasted the windows of the main house, and even the weeds in the corners of the yard were not cleaned up, just like when they didn't move in, which cost him three taels of silver, what a lion said!

However, Master Hu's words sounded in his mind again, "Don't alarm others", "I don't want outsiders to know that my brother has done such an ugly thing", "If that person doesn't know what to do, he will get up, just ask you if it's wrong", "If you can't do it, you can return the shop to me, and I'll rent it to someone else", every sentence was very heartfelt. In desperation, he had to respond: "Okay...... I'll give the silver ......" Thinking that Hu Dashao might compensate for his loss, he was in a better mood, took out two silver tickets of ten taels, and collected five taels of broken silver on his body, piled up on the stone steps, and said angrily: "Twenty-five!" You'll get out early tomorrow...... Let's go! With that, he left angrily, and when he saw the person he had brought at the door, his heart ached again. I knew that this Hu Ershao nodded so simply, and he didn't need to invite someone to strengthen his courage, although they were all friends, the money for a meal of wine was inevitable. This time it's really a big loss, and the Hu family will have to compensate for it tomorrow!

As soon as they walked away, the alley was calm again, but it was immediately lively again. An old man walked to the door of Hu Fei's courtyard on crutches and said to him in a loud voice: "Brother Hu, this matter is that the Wang family is not kind, and it has already been rented out, how can you drive people away in a few days?" Ming'er, I'll go to find him Lao Tzu and teach him a good lesson! ”

Hu Fei smiled faintly, stepped forward to comfort the old man, and said: "Master Song, don't be angry, it's a waste for me to live in such a big place alone, besides, he is the owner of the house, and he intends to drive me away, even if I stay here, what is interesting?" He took out a few silver ingots, "Here are five taels of silver, for my mother's funeral that day, thanks to the help of your uncles and aunts, this is the money owed to you at that time, and please ask Mrs. Song to help distribute it back to everyone, even if I invite you to eat and drink." I have lived here for half a month, and I have been taken care of by everyone, such a friendship...... I will never forget it! When he has the opportunity, he will repay ......"

"What are you talking about?!" Mrs. Song was angry, "You are a good child, you have been forced to do this, the big guy helps you because you are filial to your biological mother and don't put on a show, but not for this money!" You, you are really ......" A man stepped forward to support him: "Dad, Brother Hu is also grateful to everyone, so he will repay the silver." You can take it for everyone. After that, he turned to Hu Fei again: "I also understand, the rich brother in your family can't tolerate you, it's okay if you leave, lest he do any tricks again." It's just that you have a place to stay, and you need to send a message back, so don't let everyone worry about you. ”

Hu Fei's eyes turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "Dare not obey your fate." ”

Mrs. Song sighed, and walked back to the house with his son a little sad, and the other neighbors also stepped forward to say a few words to Hu Fei, asking some things like when he planned to leave and where he was going, where did Hu Fei have ideas? One by one smiled and comforted, and sent them back.

At this time, he saw Chun Ying and Second Uncle Lu standing in the shadows, and was a little surprised: "Sister Xiaochun? It's so late, why are you here?! ”

Chun Ying held back the sourness on her nose and walked over and said, "I'm leaving...... My second uncle came to pick me up, and I don't know when I will be back in the future, so I came to say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect it...... You're going to go too......"

Hu Fei was stunned, a little gloomy: "I can't think of it either...... I thought that since the owner rented the small courtyard to me, he would not suddenly return to ......" He sighed, looked up at Second Uncle Lu, and reluctantly smiled and saluted: "In a hurry, the hospitality is not good, please don't blame it." Sister Koharu has known me for many years and has helped me a lot......"

Second Uncle Lu smiled and waved his hand: "No need to be so polite, you and my niece are old acquaintances, they are my friends, but I don't know what to call them?" ”

Hu Fei hesitated for a moment before he said, "The little surname is Hu, Hu ...... Lookout Mountain. He chose to name after his father's name. What the owner of the house said, there was a sentence that made him fall in love, Hu Fei's name, many people know it, no matter what he does, others will recognize him as Hu Fei, and he has nothing to do with the Hu family, which is really troublesome. He didn't want to be found out by Hu Peng wherever he went, so he simply changed the tuba. Chun Ying is there, and I'll explain it later. But her second uncle ...... Do you really not know who you are? Chunying didn't mention it? He always felt that there was something different in the other party's eyes. He has been with his father for a few years, and he has also seen some of the world, so he still has some experience of looking at people.

Second Uncle Lu's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled: "It turned out to be Little Brother Hu." Speaking of which, the little brother is a little familiar, I seem to have seen it in the place, but I can't remember it for a while. I just listened to a few words outside, and I didn't understand, you ...... Seems like some trouble? But have a dispute with your family? ”

Hu Fei smiled self-deprecatingly: "At home? Where do I have a home now? It's just a solitary one. After tonight, I don't know where I'm going. He was a little relieved, probably by chance before, Chunying's second uncle was naturally also a servant of the Hou Mansion, and he met him when he visited friends.

"Oh?" Second Uncle Lu glanced at the small courtyard a few times and pondered for a moment, "In this way, there are a few empty courtyards near my house, all of which I take care of for others temporarily, only an old couple guards the door, and when I am not at home, it is really difficult for them to rely on the two elders." Chun'er is going to live in the past again, which is really reassuring. If you don't dislike it, go with me, the place is not as big as here, but there is an empty room in the porter's house, that is, you have to go around at night, and you can do it during the day, and I will take care of your board and lodging. Once you've found a place to live, it's not too late to move out. How is it? ”

Hu Fei looked at Second Uncle Lu unexpectedly, a little moved, Chunying was already overjoyed: "Second Uncle! You're so nice! She turned to Hu Fei: "Master Hu, are you coming?" There are no mistakes, there are many words, my second uncle will not drive you away! Hu Fei looked at her, then looked at Second Uncle Lu, and nodded with a light smile.

(Although it's a little late, I still want to wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival...... ）
