Chapter 312: Wealth
Rouge Lane
Before it was time to eat at noon, Aunt Cui and Zhou Lao Er had just experienced a **.
Aunt Cui lowered her head and her eyes were blank, and she raised her hand to tie her placket in a daze, and her thoughts were already drifting far away.
More than ten years ago, she exhausted her calculations and finally got rid of the fate of being sold into the Qinglou by her uncle and aunt to pick up customers. I don't think about it, but now it's not as good as a Qinglou woman, at least people have to collect money after they are done.
"Lao Tzu is talking to you, did you hear me?" Zhou Lao Er shouted dissatisfiedly, his voice a little loud.
There was a burst of laughter outside the door, and a voice said in a suffocated voice: "Second child, you must be old and useless, do you want your buddies to help you?" ”
"!" Zhou Lao Er cursed in a low voice, but he was helpless.
This courtyard is so big, and there are more than 20 big men who are in full swing, since the last time he hit people in a rage, those people only dared to rub oil on Cui Juan'er when he was away, and they didn't dare to touch the real Ge'er.
Several of them slept in the same bunk at night, and several pairs of green eyes kept staring at them, even if he couldn't help but want to come again, Cui Juan'er disagreed, and threatened to kill herself by biting her tongue. He had no choice but to endure it until dawn on the second day, drive the rest of the people in the house out, and then have fun with Cui Juan'er.
At this time, there was always a listening corner outside the door, and he couldn't really do anything, so he went with them. If he can't even tolerate this, it will hurt his brother's feelings. It's a bandit's den, and sharing women is commonplace, and it's nothing at all. He protects Cui Juan'er, which has made many people dissatisfied with him.
"Don't worry. We won't be here for long. After a few days, when the ship from Tianjin was arranged, we went back to Shandong, took our things, and immediately went to Guangdong. There, the imperial court was loosely controlled. We also have some friendship with the people of the Cao Gang, and we can flee to the sea as soon as there is a disturbance, and there is no way for the court to take us when we get to the sea. When the time comes. We don't have to squeeze with these people, we can do it whenever we want...... Hehe......" Zhou Lao Er scratched his beard and smiled excitedly.
Aunt Cui looked up and said in shock: "What? Leaving the capital? ”
Zhou Lao Er didn't hear the error in Aunt Cui's tone. Gu said to himself: "You will follow me in the future." I have a bite to eat, how can I have a bite of yours. Lao Tzu is old and has no wife or concubine, and you are a cripple again, so it is better to make do with it. After a year or two, when you settle down, you can give Lao Tzu another ......"
The more Zhou Lao Er spoke, the happier he became, but there was a vicissitudes and longing in his tone that he himself had ignored, and he was used to the days of adding blood to the knife. He is also eager to be stable, eager to form a small family of his own and do some small business. Strive to support her mother-in-law and son.
It's just that Aunt Cui is not in the mood to experience the simple confession of such a man she despises in her heart, she interrupted sharply: "How can you leave at this time!" What you promised me hasn't been done yet! ”
Zhou Lao Er was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”
Aunt Cui hated so much that her heart was dripping blood. Her hateful eyes looked at Zhou Lao Er, gritted her teeth and said, "You said you wanted to help me, how can you turn your face and deny it after doing that kind of thing to me!" ”
Zhou Lao Er was taken aback by Aunt Cui's snake-like eyes, and he didn't care when he thought that this was his mother-in-law, and comforted casually: "Hey, I remember, how could I forget what you said?" It's just that you know that the wind is tight outside, and your father-in-law's family is a big official, so isn't it self-defeating to do it now? You listen to my brother, and wait. ”
"When will that be?" Aunt Cui stared at Zhou Laoer.
Zhou Lao Er scratched his beard: "Why do you have to have three or five years?" ”
Aunt Cui's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she immediately began to cry, her voice sad.
When Zhou Lao Er heard the sound, as if his heart had been ripped off, he hurriedly ran over and coaxed: "Hey! Ay! What are you doing? Don't cry! He hurriedly wiped Aunt Cui's tears with his hands, but his palms were too thick, which made Aunt Cui's face a little red and swollen.
"You still lied to me, you obviously didn't say that at first!" Aunt Cui pushed away Zhou Laoer's hand, but the tears were not contained.
"So, that's a year and a half?" Zhou Lao Er asked tentatively.
Aunt Cui glared at Zhou Lao Er and said fiercely: "I don't have so much time, I have to leave the capital before we leave!" ”
Zhou Lao Er looked at Aunt Cui's angry face, but he thought it was very beautiful, at least it was better than being like a puppeteer when he was doing that with him. Thinking like this, he nodded stunned and said, "Okay, then do it before leaving Beijing." ”
Aunt Cui immediately turned her anger into joy.
Zhou Lao Er regretted it after speaking, and was about to make amends, but Aunt Cui preemptively said: "What? Do you want to regret it? I know that none of your bandits are true, and I can't believe half of them! ”
Zhou Laoer, a big man, could stand such naked contempt from his own woman, and immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "When did Lao Tzu speak without faith?" Lao Tzu said that before leaving Beijing, you must do it for you! ”
Aunt Cui finally accepted her tears with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Zhou Lao Er suddenly came back to his senses: "! I've fallen for you goblin again! ”
Aunt Cui said angrily: "Aren't I also thinking about our future?" I've saved some silver jewelry over the years, so we'll have to eat, drink, and chew on it in the future, right? How can you do it without money? I'm going to have to take my stuff out of the house. ”、
Zhou Lao Er likes to listen to this, not for that bit of silver, since the young mother-in-law began to plan for the future of the two of them, so he waved his hand proudly: "You don't need your private money, you can leave your daughter as a dowry." In the future, Lao Tzu will have money to support his wife and children. ”
Aunt Cui just said casually, wanting Zhou Lao Er to watch her help her do things for the sake of silver, and when she saw Zhou Lao Er like this, she nodded and said, "You can do whatever you say, as long as you help me get things done." ”
Seeing Aunt Cui slanting over, Zhou Lao Er touched his beard in a sneer, sighed and whispered, "You mother-in-law, you are really ignorant, do you think Lao Tzu has the final say?" Lao Tzu is just a second child, and we have a boss above! He also found me yesterday, saying that he would have to leave either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, what can I do? ”
Aunt Cui frowned: "He goes his, can't we go ours?" ”
Zhou Lao Er shook his head with a bitter face: "Naturally, it can't be done, those things are still in Lao Tzu's hands." Otherwise, I'll send my boss back to Shandong first, and then accompany you back? ”
Aunt Cui rolled her eyes: "Those things...... What is it? ”
Zhou Lao Er was a little hesitant, but when he thought that it was his mother-in-law in front of him, and he would live together in the future, he no longer concealed it: "What do you think the boss and they were arrested for this time?" We grabbed a batch of golden sands in Shandong to pay tribute to the imperial court. ”
Aunt Cui's eyes widened: "Jinsha? ”
"Yes, it's five big boxes, and they're all in excellent condition." Zhou Lao Er said casually.
"Actually, we didn't intend to go against the court from the beginning. At that time, when we were on guard duty on our territory, I came to report that a group of people and horses came down from the mountain in the middle of the night, and they were all practitioners, and they were holding five large boxes, and they watched very closely. Those of you who do our business know that the more cautious you are, and you go on the night road, the more it shows that the goods are valuable. At that time, our village was short of money, so we made it that time. Afraid that the other party's people were too powerful, we drugged the water, and even so, we broke several brothers that time, and those people were hard! I snatched it back and opened it to take a look, and guess what? Ouch! Blinded our dogs! ”
Seeing that Aunt Cui listened carefully and rarely, Zhou Lao Er also became interested in chatting: "But this gold is not so easy to take, Lao Tzu is not at ease, and persuaded the boss to hide the box elsewhere, but as soon as the box was hidden, the village was surrounded." And it's not strange that you said that we obviously snatched the box from a group of black-clothed people, but the officials said that we killed all the officials who escorted the officials and robbed the court. We robbed it at the end of last year, but they said it was gone four years ago. Lao Tzu had to wonder if they had caught the wrong person, but after the court sent someone to inspect it, they said that the things were correct, and they were the ones that the court lost four years ago. What a! ”
Aunt Cui was thoughtful: "You mean that those things are in your hands now?" You...... Boss, they don't know? ”
Zhou Lao Er nodded: "At that time, I was afraid that too many people would cause trouble, so I didn't let too many people know, only me, the boss, the second, the third and the fourth knew it, and then I happened to meet the village when I returned to the village. Afraid that something would go wrong with those things, the third child asked me to go back and put the things in a different place, and he took people back to ask for help from the boss. I don't want him to end up ...... So after the boss went to jail, only I knew where that thing was. ”
After listening to this, Aunt Cui thought about it, looked at Zhou Lao Er and said as if jokingly: "You have been such an old second child...... Haven't you ever thought about changing seats? That's a boxless golden sand! ”
When Zhou Lao Er heard this, his face immediately sank, and he said unhappily: "Sure enough, it's a woman's opinion!" I'm so full that I'm going to tell you this! Don't say this again in the future, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face! ”
Seeing that Aunt Cui also kept a straight face and stopped talking, Zhou Lao Er felt that he was a little stricter again, and added: "I and the boss have sworn poisonously, how can they do anything to betray their brothers?" If you let outsiders hear this, where will you live? ”
Aunt Cui didn't want to make Zhou Lao Er angry, so she said: "I just said it casually, and I didn't take it seriously." It's just that you care so much about brotherhood, what if he waits for you for a few more days when you are the boss? "Anyway, now they can't wait if they want to! (To be continued)
