Chapter 021: The Boss of the Wood Gang
Outside, the snow is like a rippling.
Inside, the lights are brilliant.
Ba Yi sat in the first place, Sun Lushan accompanied him at the bottom, and Yugo stood behind Ba Yi in the identity of Goshha.
At the beginning of the banquet, all the celebrities saluted Ba Yi, and the toasts were all praises to Ba Yi.
Ba Yi frequently raised his glass and smiled at everyone's flattery.
While he was leaning his neck to drink, Sun Lushan gave a look to one of the people on the other side.
This person's name is Zhang Shoucai, in his forties, lean, he doesn't smile or speak when he sees people, he acts too cautiously, his words are too humble, and his shrewdness shows that there are no silver three hundred taels in this place, he is the leading boss of the local medicinal herb industry in Mengjiang, there are many mountain warehouses and pharmacies, and he can also sit in the hall to practice medicine, although the case of the golden toad did not affect him, but he was also scared enough, this time he came to Sun's house to go to the banquet, the purpose is to try to advise Ba Yi, to forgive people and spare people, to pay taxes can be, but not in detail, After all, this Changbai Mountain is a gift from God to everyone, why do you want a piece of the pie.
After Sun Lushan hinted, Zhang Shoucai got up and bowed his hand to Ba Yi and said, "General, the grass people have something unclear and want to ask the general." ”
Ba Yi knew what he wanted to say, first bowed his head and said that he would like to speak, and then affirmed: "If it has nothing to do with the banquet, don't say it, just eat and drink today, and this general doesn't want to be entangled in official business at this hour." ”
Zhang Shoucai was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously looked at Sun Lushan, the general ordered not to talk about official business, and he did not dare to disobey.
Sun Lushan gave him a look again, which means that you can say generously that Ba Yi understands it himself, and he will never cut off his head because he said something he shouldn't have said.
Zhang Shoucai thought that he understood the meaning in Sun Lushan's eyes, so he saluted Ba Yi again: "General, is this such a thing......
Before he could say anything, suddenly Yugo shouted: "Oh, Lao Zhang! ”
Zhang Shoucai was so frightened that he looked at her in shock.
Ba Yi frowned and looked back: "What's the matter?" ”
Yuyu pointed outside and said, "I forgot to tie Lao Zhang, wait for me to take a look." ”
A providential coincidence, she wanted to go out to find Guan Yu under an excuse, but unexpectedly frightened Zhang Shoucai, except for the people around Ba Yi, no one knew where the old Zhang in Yugo's mouth was, Zhang Shoucai also thought that Yugo's exclamation was to prevent him from speaking, so he sat down in fright, and didn't dare to speak.
Ba Yi glanced at Zhang Shoucai seemingly inadvertently, and then instructed Yugo: "Go quickly and return quickly." ”
Yugo responded that before leaving the banquet, he caught a servant of the Sun Mansion outside and asked where Guan Yu was, and the servant said: "At this hour, Guan Yu is patrolling around." ”
Yugo was very polite: "Please call him over, I am his countryman, come and see him." ”
The servant shook his head: "I don't dare, once I show the steward about it." ”
It is difficult to ask for people, Yugo has the intention to make a few small money to get through him, but he is reluctant, these silver are kept by himself to save his father, and his eyes rolled and said: "I am General Bayi's personal attendant, my words are the general's words, the general's words are the military order, if you dare to disobey the military order, you will be punished with a hundred rods, and you will be beaten with a skin and flesh." ”
The servant carefully smoothed out her words, and was so frightened that he turned his head and ran to find Guan Yu.
It worked, and Tamago's joy was unbearable.
After a while, Guan Yu came running over, the watermelon lamp in his hand swayed, and when he saw her from a distance, he shouted happily: "Why do you come to see me?" ”
Yugo looked left and right, although there were no extra people in the snowy courtyard, but there was a banquet tonight, and the male maids of the Sun family came and went to the kitchen and before the banquet, so she asked Guan Yu: "Where is it convenient, say a few words." ”
Guan Yu thought for a moment: "Follow me." ”
He took the lead, through the courtyard to the side of the courtyard, here is the nursing home of the class, the weather is cold, an hour on the shift once, the errand of the nursing home or come here to take a nap or warm, Yugo with Guan Yu arrived, the brightly lit main room in a nursing home to play pai gow, win and lose, shouting, very noisy, can be heard through the doors and windows, Guan Yu pointed to another utility room next to it, this door is usually not locked, pushed open the two and walked in.
The pungent smell made Tamago cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
Said to be a utility room, sure enough, there are a lot of things in the house, there are pieces of sauce tied with straw rope on the east wall, but there are strings of yellow tobacco leaves hanging on the north wall, the Manchus call it a light mushroom, but on the west wall is dried fish of different sizes and shapes, and the foot of Yugo is a variety of animal skins that have been dried.
All kinds of flavors were mixed, and Yugo was a little disgusting, so in order to save time, she got straight to the point: "I saw you and Aunt Seven in the ready-to-wear store that day." ”
Guan Yu didn't hear the hidden meaning of her words, and grinned: "Really? Why don't you call me? ”
Yuwu tried to make her words clearer: "Aunt Seventh is too young, and you are young and strong, don't make irresponsible remarks." ”
Guan Yu waved his hand disapplausively: "No, Aunt Seventh thinks that I am good at kung fu and does things properly, so I often go out with her, you don't know, those brothers envy me." ”
This elm head, Yu Dai didn't know how to persuade him, just at this time a bird call pierced the night sky, Yu Dai heard that there is a kind of sacred bird called the King of the Mountain, it is said that where this bird appears there is ginseng, generally it is a big car, and now it is the moon, ginseng is not, there may be other treasures, I heard that Mengjiang people are good at holding treasures, Yu Dai hurriedly asked: "What is it called?" ”
Thinking that Guan Yu is a local, he should know what this mysterious bird call is.
Unexpectedly, Guan Yu said: "It's a bird's call." ”
Tamago asked again, "What kind of bird is it?" ”
Guan Yu was very calm: "A bird." ”
Yu Yi wanted to hit the wall at this moment, and was so angry that his chest was suffocated, feeling that if this dumb guy didn't suffer a loss, he probably wouldn't wake up, thinking that Ba Yi might make himself, so he said goodbye to Guan Yu, and couldn't help but say before leaving: "Aunt Seventh is too a woman, you are a big man, a lonely man and a widow, and you are easy to gossip, you should be careful." ”
Guan Yu smiled: "You and I were also lonely men and widows just now, aren't you afraid of gossip." ”
This guy can usually choke you half to death when he speaks, and Yu Yu said angrily: "This is different, Aunt Seven is too flowery and beautiful." ”
Guan Yu said: "You look better than her." ”
Yugo had the embarrassment of meeting a soldier in a show, so he turned his head and left: "I'm too lazy to care about you." ”
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "You are a local, have you heard of a woman named Li Qingruo?" ”
Guan Yu nodded: "Who doesn't know that the prestige of Master Li is famous, she is the boss of the local wood gang." ”
Wood Gang Boss? Yu Di was surprised, she thought that Li Qing was the eldest lady of an official family.
