Chapter 231: Deed of Sale
The crescent moon branches are cold and windy, and the candles in the house are full of sadness.
I didn't sleep well the night before, and getting married is more tiring than fighting with someone. After serving Zhao Yueyue's diet and medicine, Hu Zicai was idle, sitting at the table, looking at the pair of red candles in a daze.
Except for the human form of the seventeenth grandmother, Huzi has never really seen the girl's body, and he is still a little shy. But when she really untied Zhao Yueyue's clothes, she didn't have any evil thoughts in her heart. Caring for the sick is a chore that doesn't allow for too much other thought.
Zhao Baofu originally made a threat, saying that he wanted to speak out, so that the ghost family could not gain a foothold on Sun Mountain. didn't think about it, even if Huzi got married, he would not be able to stay on this Sun Mountain.
Liu Lao and Chen were invited by Mr. Peng, and An Xien and Nalan Lang knew the letter from Liu Lao. But Tachibana Kanazawa did come uninvited. Manga said that Huzi was taken aback, and even Mr. Peng was surprised.
The words of the people are terrible, the mouths of the people are gold, the three of them become tigers, and the bones are destroyed...... These words are all said in one truth: the lips are the sword that kills, and the tongue is the sword that preaches the heart. Originally, the daughter of the Anzhifu family and the people from the small country of Nalan came to say goodbye, which only showed that the ghost family had a wide range of friends and made people look up to them, but the arrival of Tachibana Jinze in full costume made this matter change the taste. As soon as Tachibana Jinze entered the door, the villagers who were still on the table walked more than halfway through the "hulala"!
No matter how you say it, even if An Xien and Nalan Lang are Manchurians, the villagers can't say anything - it's us, it's us, it's our Qing people, it's the Qing people. What's more, the imperial court allowed the Manchu and Han to intermarry a few years ago, and they can be regarded as a family no matter how they say. But Tachibana Kanazawa...... He is a little devil, and he is still a person with a high status in that little devil. When he interacts with Huzi, how can he not let others gossip?
Now that the price of food in Changtu Mansion has risen like this, the Japanese are the culprits, and they don't say anything on the surface, but behind the scenes, they hate the Japanese so much that they itch their teeth. It's not a good thing that he's so close to the Japanese. Nine times out of ten, just like that Daxian serving Lao Maozi, this ghost family has also become a lackey of the Japanese!
Thinking of this, Huzi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was first treated as a rabbit raised by Nalan Lang, and now he is regarded as a traitor, and others may not know how to poke him in the backbone behind his back!
There are a lot of things going on, and Huzi can't be at peace in his heart. All I thought about was two things: one was to find a way to heal Zhao Yueyue; The second is to find the person who carved the stone talisman to avenge Zhao Yueyue!
But Hu Chuanwen also said that the damage to the soul is not curable by ordinary medicines, it all depends on Zhao Yueyue herself, and she can't be in a hurry. And the stone rune ...... Grandma Seventeen has many magical powers and has many eyes and ears, and she has not found the slightest clue, although Huzi is anxious, she also does not have much hope that she will suddenly find the culprit.
Looking down, there was a small envelope on the table - this was a gift money sent by Nalan Lang. After working all day, Huzi almost forgot about this thing. Now that I think about it, there is something in that bad man's words. Nalan Lang specially instructed that he should not lend it to others, and that he must hand it over to Huzi by the messenger himself. Presumably, there are some famous ones.
Huzi didn't discuss with Mr. Peng, opened the envelope by himself, and poured all the contents on the table. There are three money tickets and one short signature. These three paper money tickets, one for one hundred taels and two for fifty taels, were as light as nothing in his hand, but Huzi felt that these three thin pieces of paper were terrifyingly heavy.
What a big deal! It's just a gift money to congratulate the marriage, and Nalan Lang actually took out two hundred taels of silver. is worthy of being a Manchurian aristocracy, worthy of being a small prince of the Guogong Mansion, he really regards money as dung and swaying it like grass and mud.
After reading this short sign again, Huzi couldn't help but shake his head - these two hundred taels of silver, it's hot to hold!
Huzi admired Nalan Lang in his heart for daring to rebel against the court and dare to fight against foreigners. Revolutionary party, regiment, not to mention anything else, just say that they can stand up and fight against foreigners at this time, then anyone has to pick a thumbs up, and all of them are heroes! But this does not mean that Huzi is willing to die for them. Slaying demons and destroying demons is the duty of their cultivators, and they can fight with people...... No!
In the previous two times, Fang Xuebin sent a letter to Nalan Lang through Huzi's hand, which can be regarded as a thrill and danger, and did not cause any internal and external trouble. However, this does not mean that Huzi will be safe and sound when he sends this letter, without the slightest risk. The regiment played the banner of the revolutionary party, and now it is mixed with the "remnants" of the Boxer Rebellion, and to do something for them, that is, to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers. Once discovered by the government, the whole door will be beheaded, killed first and then tried! Even if an unjust, false and wrongly decided case is made, and a person who kills a revolutionary is reported to the above, he can still make a credit.
The first two times were to send letters from the outside to the inside, but this time the play is even bigger, and it is for Huzi to help Nalan Lang connect with the foreigners!
It was written on the short sign that in another month, a French merchant would come. On the surface, it is to sell cloth, but in fact it is to buy and sell arms! Nalan Lang is naturally unable to directly contact this foreigner because of his identity, and the people around him are really not very safe. Only Huzi, an outsider, is suitable for communication between the two parties.
After reading this short lot, Huzi shook his hands and burned it to ashes on the candle, wiped his head, and wiped off a layer of cold sweat.
If people know this time, I'm afraid that not only will they be beheaded all over the house, but they will have to be executed by Ling Chi! The regiment is a grass platform team, although it is not small, it has done several major things in the side, and in Changtu Province, the officers and soldiers who jointly rebelled killed Lao Maozi. But most of them are from poor families and have not received any training. It is said that when there was a war, there were also people who wielded broadswords and spears. Ammunition! Now the regiment needs munitions. With a gun, you can do bigger things.
The tiger has a handle in Nalan Lang's hand, and Nalan Lang also has a handle in the hand of Huzi. But Huzi doesn't ask for Nalan Lang, but Nalan Lang always has to lift the rope on Huzi and lead him to do things for himself. This time, he gave enough benefits - but the more this happened, the more frightened Huzi became. This shows that Nalan Lang has made up his mind to tie Huzi to the regiment's car.
This is no small matter! Huzi thought about it, and he had to discuss it with his master. He picked up the two hundred taels of money tickets, came to Mr. Peng's door, and pushed the door, but he took a picture with Zhao Baofu and his wife.
It stands to reason that at this hour, the Zhao couple should be at home. Why haven't you left yet? Huzi thought to himself, stepped forward to think about Mr. Peng and Li Lintang Shili, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Li Lintang stretched out his hand and pointed to the red book on the table: "Divide the gift!" ”
Dividing rites is a custom of local marriage. If the man fails to give enough bride price to the woman's family, the woman's family can propose it and share the gift money for the marriage. However, for the sake of face, few women's families will really bring it up. Even if it is proposed, it is mostly brought over by the aunt and daughter when the daughter returns to the door, and it is given to the woman's parents as a gift. Not only has the lining, but also has face. I have never heard of any family on the night of marriage, the woman's parents came to her mother-in-law's house to ask for a gift.
As soon as Li Lintang said this, Zhao Baofu laughed and sat up straighter: "I think so, most of the guests here are from our family." How can I say that I want to share the gift, but it's not too much, right? This marriage is handled by you inside and out, we will deduct the money, and the rest, open the account in five or five, and how much can we share. Mr. Peng, you are a person who has read books, and you must not lie to us. ”
Huzi turned his head and stared at Zhao Baofu with a pair of eyes, and Zhao Baofu was a little flustered. He muttered, "What does this kid mean......"
"What do I mean?" Huzi had something in his heart, and he was already dissatisfied with his father-in-law, so he blew up directly, "Zhao Baofu!" Did you see that Huang Ya was paralyzed, and you were in a hurry to sell your daughter? Zhao Yueyue is your daughter, a person, not a casual object, and you can't be so cheap. hurriedly kicked her out of the door, and now she still thinks about how much she can earn? ”
Zhao Baofu was first stunned by Huzi's drinking, and then remembered his identity as an elder, and reprimanded with a straight face: "How can you talk!" ”
"Huzi!" Mr. Peng also called Huzi.
"Dad, don't worry about this." Huzi waved his hand to stop Mr. Peng's words, pointed at Zhao Baofu's nose and began to scold, "Zhao Baofu, you are an old bastard!" What is the importance of participating? That's when the husband can't get the bride price, and the bride's family is looking for it. Touch your conscience and ask yourself, what is wrong with you in our etiquette? Thirty taels of formal gifts, three shoulders of joy cakes, and two shoulders of hoof wine, it is not as good as the daughter of a large family to marry, and the landlord's family is just like this when marrying a daughter, right? It's all at this point, and you're still here to ask for a share of the gift money, what are you doing when you're not selling your daughter? ”
Zhao Baofu was so choked by Huzi that he couldn't speak, and Zhao Yueyue's mother followed to play a round: "Huzi, you ......"
"Mother-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you, let me explain this reason." Huzi didn't let Zhao Yueyue's mother open her mouth, and continued, "Zhao Baofu, you said it yourself, this marriage is handled by our family. I asked the master to set up wine, buy vegetables and kill pigs, hire matchmakers, decorate the wedding hall, and blow the sedan chair, but I didn't let you take a big son. To tell you the truth, we are not short of this little money, and we can't even look down on the gifts sent by your relatives and families in the village! We don't want to explain this truth, you, who sincerely want to sell your daughter, where did you have the face to open this mouth with us? ”
Zhao Baofu's face was swollen and red, and he covered his heart and shouted: "I just sold my daughter!" After dividing the gift, you give me the money, and my daughter will be from your family! I don't have a son, I'm a desperate family. I have to provide myself with some money for retirement. ”
"Good! That's what you said! Huzi walked to the table, tore the gift book into pieces of waste paper in three or two clicks, took the pen and ink, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and wrote a contract. He made a cut on the thumb of his left hand, pressed it on the paper, and slapped the contract and the sleeve blade in front of Zhao Baofu.
"You...... What are you doing? Zhao Baofu was scared, he thought that Huzi had drawn a talisman and wanted to curse him.
Huzi sneered: "This is a deed of sale!" Didn't you say you were going to sell your daughter? You put a handprint on it, I will give you one hundred taels of silver, counting the previous gift money, it is a total of one hundred and thirty taels, since then, Zhao Yueyue has nothing to do with you. ”
Zhao Baofu couldn't make up his mind for a while, looked at Huzi, then looked at the deed on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how to read, you ...... What should you do if you plan to harm me? ”
"There are also people in the village who know how to read, I won't lie to you about this kind of thing, I can't afford to lose that person!" Huzi was still glaring at Zhao Baofu, "Do you press or not?" ”
"Huzi, don't make trouble." Mr. Peng sighed softly.
Zhao Baofu suddenly raised his head and met Huzi's eyes: "What about the money?" ”
Huzi took out the one hundred taels of money ticket and pushed it in front of Zhao Baofu: "You pressed your handprint, this is yours." ”
Zhao Baofu gasped, grabbed the knife, made a deep wound on his finger, and pressed it on the deed of sale! When the blood soaked through the paper, Zhao Baofu had already picked up the money and dragged his daughter-in-law out of the door.
"This old gang ......" Li Lintang picked up the deed of sale and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to earn so much money in my life." ”
Mr. Peng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Huzi, where did you get so much silver?" ”
Huzi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mr. Peng, and said with a smile: "Dad, I may be in trouble." ”
