Chapter 34 Old Zhu Xiangma
readx;
It didn't take long to brush it, and it was almost evening. Zhu Chengli, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, came back with everyone. Liu Rumei went to cook as soon as everyone came back. Zhang's mother stepped on her big feet and went too.
Zhu Chengli saw that Zhu Lin was brushing the horse. Zhu Chengli asked Zhu Lin what was going on, how to buy so many horses and what to do. Zhu Lin said that Zheng Jiu let him buy it. If you have leg strength, you have to be faster. Zhu Chengli beat his chest there and told Zhu Lin: "Zheng Jiu made a mistake, what kind of horses did you all buy! ”
Zhu Lin said: "Isn't it good to tame a horse? ”
Zhu Chengli told Zhu Lin: "It's not that a well-tamed horse is bad, but this horse acts as a foot force at most." You can't be a war horse. If the original owner whistles, the horse will run back on its own. If the little old man guessed correctly, you bought it from those slave horse sellers. ”
When Zhu Lin heard this, he secretly said that Jiang was still old and spicy. Then he asked, "Is there any way to prevent anyone else from getting the horse back?" ”
"There is a way, but it takes longer. And the sound of the horse whistle cannot be heard. Who bought this pony. What's the use of being so thin? How much concentrate does this have to be raised? That's not right. Is this horse sick?, I'll see". Saying that, Zhu Chengli walked up to the pony and looked down at the horse's belly. Broke the horse's mouth and looked at the teeth. He lifted his tail again and looked behind him. He put down his tail and said, "You have all been deceived, this is a sick horse, and you can't get fat no matter how much you eat." Hey, how do you think of buying this kind of horse, even if you give it to me for free, I don't want it. Zhu Lin made Zhu Chengli embarrassed. Touch your nose. "What?" he asked. Sick horse. It's not going to die. Didn't Zheng Jiu say that he had lost a little weight? Buy more concentrate to make up for it. ”
"Zheng Jiu understands a horse with a ball. It's not going to die. It's just that this young master Ma can't get fat no matter how he raises it, he only grows a skeleton and doesn't grow meat. The horse came out of the womb and was finalized. You can only ride it, young master, and others will crush it if you ride. How many taels of silver were spent? ”
"Well, so I have my own car. Ha ha. Not much, it cost fifty taels of silver. Zhu Lin replied.
Fifty taels of silver, Zhu Chengli's eyes widened. When it's over, I roared angrily and came back, and I will settle accounts with Zheng Jiu. It's too bad to live. I don't even want this horse to give it to me. A little money doesn't burn the bag so much. After yelling, he walked to the backyard.
After dinner in the evening, the big guys all sat in the backyard with Mazha and listened to Zhu Lin's storytelling. Fireflies flew around. Twinkle and twinkle. Zhu Lin told a ghost story today. Hehe, scare these kids. I am talking about the excitement. Zheng Jiu is back. Zheng Jiu walked over and sat there full of alcohol, and Zhu Chengli glared at him angrily. The two stared wide-eyed. Fight. Zhu Lin saw that this story could not be told. Everyone dispersed! As he spoke, he pulled Zheng Jiu and Zhu Chengli into the study. Zhu Yi also followed.
"Zheng Jiu, you have disappointed the old man too much. Although there is a little money, it is not so bad. Look what kind of horse you bought. It's either a sick horse or a well-trained horse. You don't understand that horses can be delayed for two days before buying. I didn't say I wouldn't buy a horse, but I guess it would cost at least four hundred taels of silver, right?" Zhu Chengli entered the house and yelled at Zheng Jiu.
Zheng Jiu didn't say anything, so he let Zhu Chengli scold there. Wait for Zhu Chengli to finish scolding with foaming stars. Said slowly: "I said Old Man Zhu, you don't know what the situation is going to be there forcibly! In total, the horses cost less than two hundred and ten taels of silver. This is not counting the young master's reward money for others. As soon as he finished talking about the reward money, Zheng Jiu patted his head. said: "Look at my memory, young master, Zheng Jiu has asked you clearly." The girl's name is Wang Qingqing. His father was originally a showman, tried and failed, and made a living by selling horses. Her mother was also the daughter of a large family. The tooth man was her uncle, and his family lived in Wangjiazhuang in the northeast of the city. It is said that this Wang Qingqing's family was originally very wealthy, and it was also one of the largest families in Wangjiazhuang. Wang Qingqing's father is also the patriarch of the Wang family. Later, he was sacked by the rogues. Almost snatched the horse. A few mares were left. After the looting, you can get by. Who knew that there were soldiers there, and they were looted again. This time not a single horse was left. The only pony left. Because he was too thin, the soldiers didn't rob it. His father was so angry that he fell ill in bed. Young master, you also know that there are more people who fall into the well than charcoal in the snow these years. When all the relatives saw that it was in ruins, they all went to collect debts. A newly elected patriarch, the patriarch led people to drive Wang Qingqing's family out of the house. In the end, Wang Qingqing didn't even have the money to give her father medicine. Then he was forced to have no choice but to lead the horse to the market and sell it. Let the young master run into you. ”
After listening to this, Zhu Lin smacked his lips and said, "It's hard work, put this matter aside." What do you say about the homeless? ”
"Hey, don't mention it, this prefect is really fucking ruthless, driving all the homeless people into Luomawa and leaving them to fend for themselves. All around were wandering cavalry. As long as they see the homeless people coming out of the falling horse recess, they are all hacked to death. The homeless people ate reed roots in it to live. Oh, that was hell on earth. As soon as I got there, I said I was going to recruit people. At least 1,000 people ran out. It's still possible to run. Young master, it's really miserable! Fortunately, I didn't take you there, but I took you there, and I guess I will have to do something again today. Young master, it's really not good, let's recruit them all! I see, it's all good labor, and you can work for a while. Zheng Jiu took a sip of water and replied.
Zhu Chengli will look at Zheng Jiu for a while, and look at Zhu Lin for a while. The riddle-like conversation between the two of them had confused him. Recruit the homeless well. You Zheng Jiu ran over to inquire about the girl's life experience. I just wanted to open my mouth.
"Uncle Zhu, how is your progress there? Is the house easy to repair? ”
"Uh, young master, it's easy to repair. Not to mention that the old woman is really fast to repair this kind of house. I've built 10 rooms today. It's all the kind of Chase shop. When it is dry, there will be 50 people living in one house. There aren't many people hired today. I'll hire a few more tomorrow, and it will be fixed in about four or five days."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, let the second brother go to the fat man's house tomorrow to buy some food. Open a porridge factory in Lok Ma Ao. Zheng Jiu began to recruit homeless people, remember, first recruit those with skills. Secondly, recruit those who are physically stronger. Finally, let's recruit the thinner ones. No way. We're not very well-off right now. Let the people of the government give the record at that time. Zheng Jiu, don't forget to send some silver to the prefect. I think it's much better to have an official to help you speak." Zhu Lin said there.
"Well, okay, take as much silver as you want first. Zheng Jiu asked.
"Let's take five hundred taels first, and it's easy to do things when the official is fattened, oh. There is one more thing, send the woman in the barracks first. Buy some pots and stoves there, and you can eat there. It is not a problem to save the need to bring dry food every day, so let the well drilling team also live there, and give them knives to keep for self-defense. Tomorrow, Zheng Jiu will tell the prefect about this. Zhu Lin explained there again. That's it. Zheng Jiu and the others all dispersed. Zhu Lin lay on the table and wrote a plan to make money.
In the front room, "Zheng Jiu, what did you mean by what you just said?, why did you still inquire about the situation of the girl who was from the other family." Also, what happened in the horse market today. Don't tell me you can buy three good horses for less than 200 taels. And a pony". Zhu Chengli stopped Zheng Jiu and asked.
"You came with your ears, and everyone heard it badly. Zheng Jiu said in Zhu Chengli's ear.
When Zhu Chengli listened. Kicked Zheng Jiu. said: "In the future, you must not take the young master into danger." We can do what we can in the future. Don't let the young master out again. It's too dangerous. If the young master really takes a fancy to other girls. Find a way to get it first, be a child daughter-in-law, and complete the marriage when the young master is older. Start a family first and then start a business, and forget about Mr. Zhu's thoughts. ”
"Well, that's it. I'm doing a good job today. ”
"Go back and rest". Zhu Chengli said in a low voice.
The next day, the sound of the children's morning exercise woke up Zhu Lin. Why are you still exercising in the morning, what time is it? I got dressed and went out of the study to wash up. It's been a hassle for more than a month. Especially long hair, it's really hard to take care of. Liu Rumei helps take care of it every day. After Zhu Lin finished eating the breakfast left by Liu Rumei, he saw that the children in the yard were still exercising in the morning. Oh no, it can't be called a morning exercise now. It's almost noon. So he called Chu Yi over. Why don't you go to class yet? The first year of junior high replied, "Master Wang is not here." ”
Master Wang is not here. Wang Guangxu did not come back in the afternoon and night. What did you do when you went out. Could it be that this kid has some secrets? I'll settle accounts with him when I get back. Zhu Lin thought secretly. I had no choice but to go to the child again. Liu Rumei also wants to send her eldest child to study with them in the first year of junior high school. I have been talking to Zhu Lin about this for several days.
Zhu Lin remembered it today, so he called Liu Rumei's child over. The little guy's name is Liu Yong, and he is very smart at the age of four. Don't look small, you have such arrogance for everyone. I don't know if I was born with it.
It's almost noon, and Wang Guangxu still hasn't come back. Zhu Lin was a little anxious, so he had to go out to find it by himself. But Liu Rumei didn't let Zhu Lin go out. Liu Rumei told Zhu Lin that if Zhu Lin went out today, Liu Rumei would die in front of Zhu Lin. Where did Wang Guangxu go? Why haven't you come back yet? Zhu Lin thought silently. If you can't get out, you can't find adults. Just stay at home. Wang Guangxu, that guy is cunning and cunning. It shouldn't be an accident.
In the south of Sicheng City, an abandoned house somewhere. Although this house is abandoned, it is strange that there is a basement in the house. Wang Guangxu was tied to a chair, and his nose and face were swollen. Covered in whip marks. The stove next to it was burning, and there were a few red-hot soldering irons stuck in it. Next to him, several black, oily, shirtless men stood behind a man with a leather whip in his hand. I saw a man, wearing a blue straight jacket and a fine striped and elegant green cloak. A gold ribbon around his waist. Carrying a sword at his waist. Head tie scarf. A pair of black cloth and white soap boots. The man asked someone to move a chair. Da Ma Jindao sat on the chair. His pale face was imprinted with a bewitching red by the fire. The strange thing is that this man sat by the fire and didn't sweat.
