"Young Master Zhu is talking about the mountainous land west of the canal! To tell the truth, the villain didn't want to sell it, but the villain pondered and kept it for the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info build a small pier on it. But today Little Master Zhu opened his mouth, and the villain of this land was sold to Little Master Zhu. Young Master Zhu, you just look at it and give it a little. The fat man just finished speaking. Zhu Chengli coughed.
"No, no, no, Young Master Zhu, otherwise, you see how the transaction is done according to the current land price. Zhu Chengli coughed again in the back. Zhu Lin looked back at Zhu Chengli with one eye in confusion. The heart said young master, I'm here to talk about business, why do you keep coughing.
"Young Master Zhu, if you don't do this, you can give three hundred taels of silver for this land. It's all villains who have climbed the little friend of Little Master Zhu. What do you think?" said the fat man.
"Forget it, I'll give you three hundred and fifty taels, do you think it's okay? I only have so much money. Zhu Lin took another sip of tea and said.
"Well, butler, go and get the title deed. In the afternoon, I went to the government with Young Master Zhu to transfer the land to Young Master Zhu. The fat man said.
The business is over. Zhu Lin originally wanted to leave, but the fat man had to leave Zhu Lin to eat. Zhu Lin was also hungry. The donkey was taken down the slope by the fat man to the dining room.
Walking into the dining room, you will see an eight-sided ladies screen when you enter the door. Behind the screen is a large round table. The green bamboo on the flower stand in the corner is verdant. Cigarette smoke curls out of the incense burner. It's fragrant. Zhu Lin didn't know what kind of incense it was. I want to ask, but it's hard to speak.
The fat staff strongly asked Zhu Lin to sit in the first place, but he couldn't refuse. Zhu Lin had no choice but to sit in the first place. Everyone lined up in turn, and the guests and hosts sat down. I saw the fat man clapping his hands outside. The flamboyant maids began to serve the food. One after the other. A total of eight cool, eight stir-fried and eight burned. It's all hard dishes with big fish and big meat.
Later, two jars of wine were also delivered. When the food and wine were all ready, everyone began to eat. At first, I took care of a little face. Everyone chewed slowly. Later, Zhu Yi couldn't help it, and picked up a roast chicken and gnawed on it with a completely lost image. Immediately after that, everyone didn't care about the image, and joined the state of eating Husthis.
Zhu Lin is small and eats little. It'll be ready in a while. Zhu Chengli was there to change cups with the fat man, and the brother was drinking there.
Zhu Yi and Zheng Jiu had already dragged the housekeeper and the young man to drink there. It's not happy to yell five or drink six. Zhu Lin shook his head, he was too embarrassed for Zhu Lin's people. But also, people in this era lack oil and water. When you encounter this kind of mat that is full of hard vegetables, you don't eat it violently. If Zhu Lin can eat it, it is estimated that it will not be much worse than them. In this way, the banquet ended not long after. As soon as he put the wine glass down, Zheng Jiu also had a full burp. Blushing.
The fat man clapped his hands outside, and the maids took down the plates. Serve fragrant tea. Zhu Lin and the slightly drunk fat man chatted while drinking tea outside. Zhu Lin asked the fat staff, today is another banquet, and there is a loudspeaker team, what is the purpose? The fat staff told Zhu Lin that he has no intention, he just wants to make Zhu Lin's little friend.
Zhu Lin didn't believe it, and threatened the fat man if he didn't say anything. I didn't even have to do it. The fat man only drunkenly told Zhu Lin that the incident had spread throughout Sicheng yesterday afternoon. Killing soldiers and rebelling, there is no. What a great sin we have laid on us. The extermination of the three tribes is light. Now Zhu Lin, you are the nephew of Dashuai, the godson of Gonggong Wei, and the orphan of Lord Zhu of the previous dynasty. These names are enough. You've made a name for yourself. It's just that you don't feel it. Don't say it's me. I guess someone will send you a prayer post when you get home. In the future, you Zhu Lin will be a small landlord like me who can't be invited. Zhu Lin just wanted to ask the fat man the story of Mr. Zhu. was interrupted by Zhu Chengli. The fat staff also felt that they were talking too much. So he was silent. A few polite words were spoken. Everyone laughed and dispersed.
The fat clerk sent Zhu Lin and a few people to the gate, and asked the housekeeper to ride a horse to transfer the title deed to Zhu Lin.
After watching Zhu Lin leave. The young man went up to the fat man, "Father, it seems to the boy that this son is nothing more than that, why do you greet him so solemnly, and sell him the land so cheaply." That's hundreds of acres, but it doesn't produce food. But that's too cheap!".
"It's not as simple as you seem. He was pretending to be stupid. This little guy is deep in water! To greet is to give people a face. It's hard to guarantee that we won't ask for people in the future. And who would have thought that the handsome nephew would actually make a well to sell. They will also dig wells to make money. So bearable. Don't underestimate that. Do you know why the Father can do what he is now? It is because the Father does not sin anyone. Treat everyone with respect. There is also a line of work, so that we can see each other in the future. Child, you have to understand. If I'm not mistaken, if this son is still in Sicheng in a few years, the sky in Sicheng will change. Didn't you see that person named Zheng Jiu? According to the news coming out of the city, this person's identity is so complicated that even the prefect is afraid of three points. Remember, it is better to bully the old than to be young. If you want to go far, you must learn to give, and only when you give can you gain." After the fat man finished speaking, he threw his sleeves and entered the house, where does this look like a drunken person.
The boy thoughtfully realized what his father said.
Zhu Lin lay on the carriage, thinking about what the fat man said just now. Zhu Lin didn't understand why every time he asked someone about his father, he was always interrupted by Zhu Chengli. Zhu Lin really wanted to know what kind of character this Zhu Lao was. That's awesome. The three sects and the nine streams seem to know him. Zhu Lin read all the history books in the study in recent years, and he didn't find such a No. 1 person. Ask who who doesn't say. asked Wang Guangxu, Wang Guangxu didn't know.
Go to the people market where there was a conflict yesterday, and the people market has been canceled. The refugee camp on the mound also ceased to exist. It was as if everything had changed overnight. Only a broken wooden shelf remains, as if it were yesterday. Walking to the tent, the guard on the flagpole had been removed. Only one flagpole is left there to tell the story of what happened last night.
Zhu Lin felt a deep chill in his heart, and cleaned up this place in one day. It's really a great reaction speed. The clearance in the previous life did not have this speed. Zhu Lin remembered the banquet he had just eaten, which really responded to "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road". I just don't know where those refugees have been cleared. And the poor women. Those poor babies who are treated as "little tender sheep". Thinking of those children being eaten, the more Zhu Lin thought about it, the more sad he became. There was a surge in my stomach, and I finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow". Fainted.
"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, Uncle Zhu, hurry up the car." Zhu Yi was dangling there with Zhu Lin in his arms.
"Don't shake it, I'll feel my pulse. Zheng Jiu stretched out his hand to take Zhu Lin's pulse. As soon as he took the pulse, Zheng Jiu's frightened face changed.
hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhu, you hurry up the car and go to the doctor quickly." I feel how the young master's pulse is beating so fast. As he spoke, he said to the housekeeper next to him: "You hurry up and go to the city to find the best doctor to wait at home, and the matter of the title deed will be discussed in two days, hurry up." ”
When the butler saw it, he urged the horse to run forward without saying a word. When he arrived at the gate of the city, he was stopped by the soldiers. The housekeeper said bluntly: "Young Master Zhu Lin has an accident, and he wants to find a doctor urgently." When the little doorman at the door heard Zhu Lin's words, he didn't check it anymore, and hurriedly let him go.
After he was released, he ran over to his head and said, "I heard that the man named Zhu Lin has had an accident again, so let's find a doctor! When he heard it, he was also startled, and hurriedly asked people to hurry up and report to Tang Baihu. Because Tang Baihu told them thousands of times, as soon as there was any news about Zhu Lin, he quickly reported it to Tang Baihu.
Zhu Chengli drove the carriage to the fastest speed, but Zhu Lin was still unconscious. The pulse is getting weaker and weaker. Zhu Yi was crying anxiously there. Zheng Jiu was also anxious and sweating profusely. He muttered in the car: "Young master, you can't die! If you die, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground." Zhu Chengli was also in a hurry, desperately driving the carriage. The whip marks on the old horse's body one by one, the horse was in pain, pulled up the carriage and galloped, and the bumps were too bad. Zhu Yi hugged Zhu Lin in his arms. Bean-sized tears smashed on Zhu Lin's face.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, Zhu Chengli saw the soldiers clearing the field there, Tang Baihu saw that the carriage was coming, and led a few soldiers to turn over and run forward, shouting as he ran: "Patrol the city Siqing Street, and all households avoid it." The hawkers and pedestrians next to him all dispersed in both directions at once. Only the stone pavement in the middle remains. Zhu Chengli's carriage followed him into the city, and returned to the Zhu family's small mansion all the way, just arriving at the door of the Zhu family's small house. The carriage has not yet stopped. Zhu Yi jumped out of the carriage with Zhu Lin in his arms, ran into the yard and yelled there: "Doctor, doctor, come and save my brother." ”
Chang Yulin, Zhang's mother and others were waiting in the front yard. saw Zhu Yi coming in with Zhu Lin in his arms. Let's just say that the doctor is waiting in the backyard house. Zhu Yi didn't have time to deal with it. hugged Zhu Lin and ran to the backyard. Zheng Jiu also followed and ran to the backyard. Zhu Chengli handed over the carriage to Chang Yulin and ran to the backyard.
In the study in the backyard, Liu Rumei had already laid the bed for Zhu Lin, and the doctors were waiting beside her. Zhu Yi ran into the study with Zhu Lin in his arms and put Zhu Lin on the bed. With red eyes, he said to the doctors, "Please, boy." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed. The doctors don't dare to slack off, take the pulse of the pulse, and clean the cleaning. Liu Rumei watched quietly from the side. The first doctor shook his head after taking the pulse.
He said to the rest of the doctors, "Let's take a ride too." As he spoke, he walked out of the study. called Zhu Yi over and inquired about his condition. After hearing this, the doctor shook his head. said: "It's too late, it's too late, and now I can only use a century-old ginseng to hang my life." With that, he walked into the study. When Zhu Yi heard this, he knelt on the ground, and the children also knelt down. The black courtyard was full of kneeling heads. Zheng Jiu and Zhu Chengli walked into the study, and another doctor shook his head after taking the pulse.
Several doctors were sitting together, discussing their condition. Zhu Chengli asked the doctors about their condition, and the doctors collectively shook their heads. The doctor who went out just now said, "It's too late, half an hour early, that is, when the disease is on, it can be saved." But it's too late to deliver, I can only find a hundred years of ginseng to hang my life, I have a prescription here, but we can't guarantee whether it will work. I don't know if I can wake up. Zhu Chengli was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day after hearing this. What can I do? How do you explain to the handsome and the dead Lord Zhu.
Zhu Chengli wiped his tears and said, "Thank you, Doctor, Steward Liu, for taking the silver for the doctor." Zheng Jiu quit and scolded a bunch of quacks and went up to fight. was dismissed by Zhu Chengli.
"Aren't you messy enough?, Steward Liu, you go to get the money and send the doctor away, and by the way, go to the doctor to get the medicine. 100 years of ginseng, I'll figure it out. ”
