Chapter 49: Seven out of ten
Chai Qi's words were light and insulting, but Xu Er didn't think of Xu, lowered his head and untied a sack, and arched an old woman out of the sack, her hands were tied behind her back, her mouth was blocked with a handkerchief, her face couldn't tell whether it was tears or snot, and she had a cheek and a chest.
As soon as her hands were untied by Xu Er, the old woman immediately grabbed Xu Er with her backhand, her eyes were red, and she was full of pleading: "Son, quickly think of saving Song'er, saving Er Cui'er, saving your daughter-in-law Liu!" ”
Xu Er shook off the old lady's tearful hand in disgust, and shouted: "Old guy, stop daydreaming, don't I also want to win back my father's tofu workshop with my gambling money?" One of you blames me, two blame me, the family even called at me with the TM donkey calf, now it's okay, sell it with the donkey calf, it's a hundred, it's completely quiet, I want to gamble, I want to prostitute and no one cares anymore. ”
The old woman knelt down in front of Xu Er with a pounce, and cried: "Cui'er, don't you want it?" Don't even your son Song'er want it? That's the incense of our old Xu family! ”
A look of disgust appeared on Xu Er's face, and he viciously shook off the old lady's bark-like hand: "Where did Song'er come from?" Do you still need me to say it? You teamed up with a person with a foreign surname to find a wild seed to impersonate the Xu family's species? If it weren't for the fact that you would make tofu, I wouldn't even care about you. Cui'er, you should also stop thinking about it as soon as possible, the night I sent her to the Qinglou, she was opened by Master Ge, and now she is being favored. ”
The old woman's expression was wooden, and her mouth just repeated like a nerve: "Master Ge has just passed his sixty-sixth birthday, Cui'er is less than sixteen, and he is evil, why don't you kill me with thunder, let my heart be pierced by these thousand knives and ten thousand arrows!" ”
Chai Qi stretched out his hand to a sack at his feet, and was just about to untie it, when the old woman rushed forward like crazy, knocked off Chai Qi's hand, and tightly protected the sack with her body and said, "Don't touch my grandson!" ”
Chai Qi grinned, asked his subordinates to pull the old woman aside, reached out and opened the sack, revealing the contents inside, everyone looked at it, it was a funny thing, but no one laughed out loud.
What was exposed inside the sack was a dying little donkey, with blood gurgling from the donkey's legs, which should be the little donkey that Xu Er said in his mouth, calling him upset and injured by him.
Chai Qi pointed at Xu Er with a smile and said, "Xu Heixin'er, if your mother's grandson is a little donkey, aren't you a big male donkey!" There is also a big female donkey in the courtyard with a grinding head, and you just happen to get together, a family of donkeys. ”
Xu Er's face turned dark, he wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry, for fear of provoking this evil star again, and he would fight and sell it together.
Chai Qi opened the second sack, and inside was a handsome little girl, about twelve years old, with apricot blossom eyes, willow eyebrows, although her skin was a little rougher, but she cried so much that she was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and there was no other style.
Xu Er smiled and approached Chai Qi, his flattering old face smiled into a peach blossom, his thin and straight body bent into bean sprouts, and pleaded: "Uncle Chai, this is the child daughter-in-law that my old thing bought for Song'er, even if I sold my daughter Cui'er, I was not willing to sell her, you always see, can you sell everything else, and leave Huanxi to me?" ”
Chai Qi's face turned black at the bottom of the pot, and he said angrily: "You kid has that kind heart? I don't want my son, what do I want my daughter-in-law to do? You wouldn't be thinking about drilling your daughter-in-law's bed in the middle of the night, would you? Haha, although I like your behavior, but, without her as bait, how can your wife and big rooster be sold for a price?! ”
Chai Qi ignored Xu Er, didn't say a word, and stuffed the little girl back into the sack without pity, pierced the mouth of the bag, and asked his subordinates to take the sack to the yard, reversed the order, carried it out again, and put it on the ground for a long time.
Chai Qi made a gesture at the neighbors grinding shoulders at the gate of the courtyard, pointed to a long row of sacks and said: "The villagers are all eye-catching, these sacks are different in size, different in weight, and the objects in them are not the same, which is the same as gambling big and small in the casino, it all depends on whether the person is strong or not." The silver out is the same, two taels of silver, buy a little girl as a daughter-in-law is your luck, buy the old hen home to lay eggs, the little donkey home to pull the goods is not too nest fire, bet to stay, do not bet quickly leave. ”
A woman in her thirties, her eyes staring straight at one of the sacks, excitedly pulled her fifteen-year-old son beside her and said: "Son, marrying a daughter-in-law will cost seven or eight taels of silver just for the dowry, plus the dowry and the wine, how can you get a total of more than ten taels of silver, just now this little girl is dry and neat, handsome, big buttocks, easy to raise, two taels of silver is worth it, let's buy it." ”
The young man blushed and said: "Mother, there are more than 20 bags, the size is about the same outside, don't let you touch it, don't let you touch it, I don't know what it contains, what if you choose it badly?" ”
The woman secretly pinched her son, and secretly pointed to one of the motionless bags and said, "Son, my mother smells that girl has a faint fragrance, and there must be a sachet hanging on her body, you can smell it closer......"
The young man twitched his nose suspiciously, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance, his face was like a blushing sunset, and he twisted and took out two taels of silver from his arms, handed it to Chai Qidao: "Chai Ye, I want this." ”
Chai Qile nodded hehehe, and asked the young man to open the sack by himself.
The young man's heart beat like a drum, his heart rose to his throat, and he walked to the bag step by step, his nose was filled with fragrance, and his heart was full of joy, and the joy of worshipping the little girl in the cave room came to his mind.
The villagers who watched the excitement stretched their necks, looked at the mouth of the sack, and their eyes seemed to be clung to the acupuncture points, without blinking.
The mouth of the sack gradually opened, and the first thing that caught my eye was a woman's bun, everyone sighed in unison, and then took off the sack, where was the delicate little girl just now, it was clearly the little girl's old lady----- a woman in her forties, this person was not someone else, it was the Yuan Peiliu who Xu Er was unwilling to take back! Older than the boy's mother-in-law!
How could such a woman be a daughter-in-law to a young man? It's like taking another concubine for the young man's father! It's still a big ---- concubine!!
The faces of the mother and son turned green, and the smile that was originally condensed on their faces suddenly turned into frost, and the two of them never thought that it would be such an ending.
The woman gritted her teeth, directly reduced the price by half, and sold it for one or two silver, but unfortunately where would anyone be willing to pay one or two silver to buy a woman with loess over her knees?
Xu Er turned around on the side of his daughter-in-law Liu, and the woman thought that Xu Er was excited to buy Liu's back, full of hope, but Xu Er turned around and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to earn back this silver, let's gamble again, bet on the things in the bag that will be opened, which will sell at a higher price, you can bet, place it now, come on!" ”
This trick really aroused people's interest, and they opened the sack like a bet, and after the opening of the person or animal was bought and sold, the gamblers decided to win or lose according to the price and bet on the silver.
Chai Qile couldn't close his mouth, sitting on the Taishi chair that his subordinates temporarily moved out, his mouth grinning to the root of his ears, revealing dark red gums, and there were still leftover meat foam from the morning on the gums.
If Chai Qi just said that leaving Xu Er to manage the tofu workshop was casual, now Chai Qi really wants Xu Er to stay and help himself, there are many fierce wolves, and loyal mad dogs are rare, Xu Er is a suitable dog, and he started to go crazy and didn't recognize his six relatives. Just like now, he came up with such a damaging trick, not only got two taels of silver for selling things, but also opened a temporary gambling game, knowing that he naturally earned enough silver, as the so-called calculation can't run out of his palm.
was originally a bleak family that was scattered, but it was transformed into a farce of indifference to human nature in an instant; The people and things that were originally reduced to goods have once again become the objects on the gambling table; The buyers who were originally sincere turned into gamblers in the end, and Mingyue watched from the side, feeling so sad.
Mingyue only had three taels of silver and twenty yuan in her arms that had just sold pork, which was only enough to buy a sack, and it was undoubtedly more difficult to choose what she wanted among the remaining fifteen or sixteen sacks. If you want to find the little girl just now, Mingyue is completely sure, because she knows with her toes that the sack will not really be placed in other sacks, and the "bait" is naturally as long as possible, otherwise how can you fish if the bait is gone?
What Mingyue wants to buy is the child named "Song'er", Yin Cai said that her younger brother was sold to a family that sells tofu, just now Xu Er said that Song'er is not his flesh and blood, Mingyue suspects that it is her younger brother; When the Liu family appeared, Yin Cai did not have a surprised expression, and Mingyue thought that she had thought wrong, adhering to the spirit of not giving up the last trace of hope, Mingyue still stared at the sack.
Mingyue watched the buyers and sellers open the objects like opening treasure chests, and at the same time looked for the old man Li who was selling soybeans in the crowd, yes or no, and it was naturally clear when asked him.
After a while, Li Laohan really ran panting, holding a silver tie in his hand, squeezing into the crowd in sweat, and couldn't help but say to Chai Qi: "Uncle Chai, the little one is late, the little one has sold all the beans in the family at a reduced price, in exchange for eleven taels of silver, you always raise your noble hand and bring the little relatives back!" ”
As soon as Old Man Li appeared, Yin Cai's body trembled rapidly, and he looked straight at Old Man Li, his eyes were red, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Mingyue's heart also jumped wildly, it turned out that the Xu family was a child bought through Old Man Li, and sure enough, he responded to the sentence "No coincidence is not a book", and his younger brother was far away in the sky and close in front of him, this is undoubtedly this Song'er.
Chai Qi took the silver disappreciatively, put it in the palm of his hand and swallowed it, turned his head to look at the people who were enthusiastic and gambled, and looked at the only ten sacks left under his feet, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Do a line of rules and abide by a line, Lao Tzu's patron is willing to gamble, I have to accompany me to the end, you can buy five taels of silver, pick it yourself, if you are lucky, you may save your relatives." ”
Half and half of the chance, Mingyue's heart rose to her throat, thought about it, handed over all the three taels of silver from her arms to Old Man Li, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I will make up a number with you, choose seven sacks out of ten, with your familiarity with your relatives, you will be able to choose Song'er." ”
