Chapter 35: Everything is ready
The day passed leisurely and intensely.
They were like a group of merchants passing by Haicheng, walking around the city.
Although Haicheng is a small city, it is connected to Huizhou in the west, Yuhang in the north, and the East China Sea in the east.
Bai Yu looked at it coldly, and Zhizhi pounced on it when she saw the jewelry, rouge and satin.
Yan Zhuo's attention was not here, staring at all the places in the store, looking at the faΓ§ade with relish to see Xiao Er talking about business, only when he was in a Western Regions goods store, he stared at a white jade abacus for a long time.
Not like a little lady at all!
At lunchtime, several people found the most prestigious restaurant to eat Haicheng's famous dishes.
Yellow croaker jelly steamed with five flowers, delicious and delicate drunken crab, ruddy and fragrant fried bamboo shoot button meat, and steamed tofu with amaranth stalks as green as green......
Yan Zhuo commented while eating, which one in Jinling can eat this dish, which one has the most authentic drunken crab in Haicheng, and which season eats amaranth is the most fragrant...... Be at home in.
Bai Yu watched the people sitting at the table next to them listen with their ears pricked up for a while, and then silently withdrew.
I think I went back to report to Sun Cheng.
He glanced at Yan Zhuo, this girl seemed to have even thought of this step, as long as Sun Cheng was sure that they were from Jinling, he should stay away.
But she is really familiar with Jinling!
At the end of the day, Zhizhi quietly brought back the lawyer she was looking for.
This lawyer's surname is Zhou, he is over forty years old, and he is a talent from Dinghai County.
After the rebellion of the Wu Kingdom, in order to make a living, he followed his father-in-law to become a butcher, and then the Northern Zhou attacked Dinghai, and then ran to Haicheng, wanting to sneak into the yamen as an executioner to eat.
Helplessly, he was too thin and had no fierce appearance, and the yamen looked down on him.
I was taken by a lawyer, and when I saw that he was literate, his mouth was thin and neat, and his hands were bold and ruthless, which was a good material for being a lawyer, he accepted him as an apprentice.
It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer people who can afford to hire a lawyer these years, and most of them don't need a lawyer, so Zhou Xiucai had to work as a butcher again.
"Brother Zhou, do you know who this case is going to be promoted to?" Bai Yi asked.
"Lang Jun can torment the old man." Zhou Xiucai's thin face smiled, shaking his goatee, and a little bit of gentleness could be vaguely seen, "That little lady has already told the little one, the Sun family." The little one is not afraid of him, don't look at me as small, but bold!
"People exist with heaven and earth, stand upright, are not afraid of gods and Buddhas, and are not afraid of demons and ghosts, let alone such a ghostly villain! If he deceives me, I have my own butcher's knife to defend me, and I seek peace of mind in everything, so I don't care who his surname is! β
is worthy of being a lawyer, and the truth will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Good!" Bai Yi clapped his hands and sighed: "What a desireless one!" β
"Hey, hey." Zhou Xiucai smiled, arched his hand at Bai Yi and said: "It's not desireless, the little one is willing to be a real villain, and I will make it clear to you, let's get money." In this world, it is difficult to move an inch without money, you give the silver, you can only rest assured, what should be done by the small one, the small one must also do it well! β
Yan Zhuo smiled secretly, this is an old slippery head, not only has a good name, but also asks for money, and he is not delayed, but he is also a smart person.
She thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "You are an understanding person, but if you offend the Sun family, I am afraid that in Haicheng, it is not a butcher's knife that can protect you."
"Anyway, you're not a local, so it's better to take the silver and go back to Dinghai City, which is now settled.
"If you are interested, I will send you a letter, and ask your friends over there to take care of it, whether you want to be a butcher or a lawyer, what do you think?"
Zhou Xiucai didn't expect Yan to be so thoughtful, he has been away from his hometown for many years, of course he wants to go back!
But there is nothing left in Dinghai, and you have to start all over again when you go back, how easy is it?
If he has silver, and then there is this noble man's way, he can avoid the revenge of the Sun family, and returning to Dinghai is still something he dreams of, and this condition simply falls into his heart!
Zhou Xiucai was a little excited, this favor is not comparable to a few letters of silver!
His goatee trembled and trembled, his face turned red, and he hugged his fists towards Yanzhuo and Bai Yi: "Zhou will not be dishonored this time!" β
In the house, Yan Zhuo discussed with Bai Yi and Zhou Xiucai in detail the details of the future Risheng Hall.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Bai Yu and Ah Kuang went to take out the bone flute.
"This little lady is really a good person! Well thought out. Ah Kuang sighed, "I fought against Sun Jianren in Haicheng, and I couldn't escape for ten days if I could escape for one day." β
"Huh." Bai Yu sneered, "Do you think she didn't calculate?" She just understands very well that the most difficult thing to buy in this world is the human heart, and this thing must be bought with sincerity. If you want people to do things for her sincerely, you can't just use silver. β
"She's just a smart businessman," he concluded. β
Ah Kuang frowned, "Then she is so concerned about the affairs of the Bai family......"
"It's just a deal." After Bai Yu finished speaking, he found that he liked to say this word very much recently.
β¦β¦
Under a lamp as bright as day, five heads huddled together stared at the bone flute in a daze.
There is also uncleaned black soil on the flute.
Zhizhi bent down and sniffed closer, got up and covered her mouth and retched.
Yan Zhuo also lowered his head and sniffed it carefully, turned his head and said: "The smell of earth, there is only a faint smell of decay, you can also vomit?" β
Zhizhi couldn't stop vomiting and waved her hand, "I'm just ...... Whew...... Thinking of this guy...... Whew...... Lay with the dead, and I'll ...... Phew! β
Yan Zhuo patted her on the back, "You still think about being a bandit all day long, bandits have to kill people."
"Also, this flute is not with the dead, but with the bones. There are maggots and corpse cockroaches in the rotting mud of the dead, and the stench of the rotting flesh will sink into the mud.
"It's not as clean as this kind of grave that has been turned into bones early, and the flesh and blood have long been swallowed up by the mud, and only the smell of soil is strong."
She said as if she were talking about the difference between lotus and hibiscus.
The more Zhizhi listened to her, the more she vomited.
Bai Yi's face gradually deteriorated.
Ah Kuang was stunned, "Why are you near these white bones?" I'm sure I've found an old grave to bury it! β
Yan Zhuo smiled, "Smell it." β
She followed her master to learn antiquities, climbed a lot of tombs, and saw the soil to know the old and the new, which was the easiest.
Bai Yi's eyes were simply worshiping!
Yan Zhuo looked at Bai Yi, "You'd better learn to play a few tunes, if it doesn't work, you can blow two or three times." β
Bai Yi nodded, "Play the bone flute, I will." β
It was Yan Zhuo's turn to look at Bai Yi's eyes differently, worthy of Uncle Bai's son!
"I learned it when I was very young." Bai Yi took the bone flute, thinking of the place where it had just stayed, there was still a trace of diaphragm, "I think, if you practice again, you should be able to play a simple tune." β
He carefully cleaned the bone flute, put it to his lips and tried a few notes, and the whole room suddenly showed a look of amazement.
Isn't that okay?!
"No problem!" As soon as he took the case, he was full of spirit, "Practice and set off!" β
