Chapter 154: The Peerless Citizen (2)
Old man Ruan Baishun's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "How can you talk to this county master, we are going to be mercenaries, not to kill people and set fires, how can we be right with you?"
Mercenaries who don't kill and set fires?
Mei Yunsheng's eyes blinked twice, and suddenly regained some confidence in these good people, straightened out his emotions, and said, "Tell me specifically, what is going on?"
Old Man Ruan said: "That's the case, didn't the imperial court issue a notice before, encouraging more martial artists to join the civil martial arts group and contribute to the country!"
Mei Yunsheng nodded, he knew this clearly, and then blinked his eyes a few times, and there was some spiritual light in his heart, vaguely grasping something.
"I'm an old man who fishes and sells fish, I want to live a quiet life all my life, and someone has recruited me to do the work of taking care of the home and nursing home, I have never taken care of it, and it is inevitable that some guys will come to talk and annoy all year round, but it can't delay the business, and I didn't pay much attention to it, and the refusal is over.
But this time I don't know what's going on, since the notice came out, those guys seem to have fallen into evil, and the people who are looking for my family are one after another, and the ones who don't have stubble are about to break through the threshold of my family. One by one, it is bigger than the sky, and I didn't catch a single fish during the days when I was fishing, and I picked up customers at home all day long.
No matter who comes to invite me, the old man, I have a very clear attitude and will not do it. Regardless of what you say, the benefits are greater than the sky, and I won't do anything about serving tea and pouring water for people, bending down and laughing, old man!"
Old man Ruan was expressing his noble aspirations majestically, and some people in the melon-eating crowd raised objections, and some people shouted in the crowd:
"Old man Ruan, you can't speak with a bad conscience. At that time, our son asked you to be the elder of the town group, and said that he would not ask you to do anything, so he asked you to put on a name, and spend endless silver all year round, which is better than the fish you sold for a hundred years. ”
Old Man Ruan snorted twice and said:
"Don't you just want my old man to set up a memorial arch for you, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, I've lived for a hundred years, and I've eaten more salt than you've walked, and I've never seen anything!
Old man, I have witnessed a few old guys who are greedy for this cheapness, but as a result, once those black-hearted guys do not manage well, or poke out some terrible holes, they will have bad intentions and run away, and let those nominal town regiment elders come to the top of the tank.
I see that your son-in-law was uneasy and kind from the beginning, and the business has not yet opened, so he is thinking about finding a top cylinder......"
"I said that you old man can't figure it out, how did you come to this conclusion, we could clearly show the name and report to the court at that time, there are noses and eyes, no one knows who is God, how can you do such a thing, but I don't take you to slander ...... casually"
Mei Yunsheng frowned, looked at the crowd, and shouted: "Above the court, keep quiet, and stand up and say what you want to speak!"
Come out and go to court with a peerless old man who can't figure out anything, and talk nonsense? Who comes out and who is stupid!
The crowd immediately fell silent.
He turned to Old Man Ruan and said, "Please continue, what does this have to do with you coming together and deciding to be a mercenary?"
Old Man Ruan snorted twice, and then continued:
"Every time someone came, I refused without discussion. I don't know what kind of heart these people look like, the front heel person walks and the back heel person comes, and the conditions are more than outrageous.
I was talking nonsense with some unreliable and unknown people this day, and my business was completely delayed. What's more, I still have seven big rice buckets at home, and my wife has urged them several times, saying that the kitchen can't open the pot......"
The old man of Soft Yum complained about the family routine as he spoke, and his seven sons who seemed to be serious but were actually stupid in their old age laughed with honor when they heard him say "seven big rice buckets".
Mei Yunsheng directly filtered the latter ones, and understood in his heart that these guys who wanted to wipe out the eight peerless masters thought that this old man was sitting on the ground and raising the price, but he didn't think that this old guy really couldn't carry it.
Not to mention that he should be old and confused when he is nearly a hundred years old, even when he is not old and confused, he is not much better than now.
"At that time, my eldest family was the first to get impatient, he said, it's so annoying, let's just make a martial arts group by ourselves. ”
As he was talking, a middle-aged and elderly man beside Old Man Ruan raised his hand innocently, with a look of honor and honor, and said:
"I, I, I'm the elder, that's what I said. Some people also call me Little Six, but I'm not Little Six, I'm Little Seven. ”
My name is Ruan Liuliang, the seventh in the family, and my brother's name is Ruan Qiliang, the sixth.
Old Man Ruan patted his head and said, "You stupid son, don't worry, this major decision is what you said, and no one can snatch it away." He laughed and scolded in his mouth, but his face was full of happy spoiling.
The county lord Mei Yunsheng almost said...... This is the court, coaxing the stupid son to go back to his own house.
However, I thought about it in my heart, and my face was still gentle and easy.
The seven stupid sons of Soft Baishun launched a madness, but no one could control it, so Old Man Ruan and the old woman of his family could easily tame them. If they feel that they don't respect their father, let alone tear down this county government in minutes, it is the melon-eating masses present, of course, including him, the county master, don't think about surviving a few times.
Old Man Ruan continued: "Originally, I didn't take Xiao Qi's words seriously, I don't know what I am, isn't it a joke to be a martial arts group by myself." Two days ago, I took advantage of the fact that no one was there in the middle of the night and secretly took the seven of them out of the house to find Cai Laosi, planning to hide in his house for a few days to clean up, and also wanted to borrow some living expenses. ”
Mei Yunsheng looked at a bald bucktooth man who was grinning at himself next to Old Man Ruan, and there was a middle-aged and elderly woman with a thick waist and thick legs next to him, although he was not ugly, but he was not as beautiful as the beauty, his hands were very white and slender, and he was naturally half-grabbing the elbow of the bald bucktooth man.
This is Cai Laosi and his Hun family Aunt Chen, Cai Laosi and Soft Baishun are eating in a vegetable market, one sells fish there, and the other sells vegetables on the side, Aunt Chen makes some pure natural handicraft embroidery at home to subsidize the family, so that a good needlework, although it has not received the highest level of inheritance is not comparable to the eunuchs in the imperial city, but it is also a master of needles, and it is one of the only seven peerless women in Shendu County. One son studied under a god who participated in last year's Hajj.
Both of them are peerless citizens, and they have been friends with Ruan Baisheng's family for decades.
Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, those who love fishing will become fishing friends, those who love to play chess will become chess friends, those who love to play birds will become bird friends, and those who love to practice will naturally become friends.
However, in the past, the relationship between these 60 or so peerless citizens was limited to this, except that in reality, there was a common social circle that was relatively close. Everyone makes their own living, how can they have spare time to make "martial friends" who are far away, and basically do not communicate with each other for the rest of their lives.
Mei Xian Ling thought about the details of this peerless citizen, and Old Man Ruan said: "But what I didn't expect, before I entered his door, I found that his house was also blocked by people carrying large bags and small bags of gifts. When I secretly called him out to ask what was going on, he also poured bitter water on me, and he was so disturbed that he felt that it was not a way to go on in the long run. ”
