Chapter 166: The Horse Stumbles (The Third Shift Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Ye Hong looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then boldly continued: "The number one on the top list, this is Xie Yuan, haha...... I know, I know, well, Ziyi, I have to borrow a little money from you, well, my money to dredge the relationship, you don't know, I also know people in the Yamen, tsk, I have friends all over the world, but this relationship is worth dredging, although it cost fifteen taels of silver...... Do you know who I'm befriending? Saying it scares you to death, it's the seventh uncle and grandfather who mentioned the school official. ”
Ye Chunqiu was dumbfounded,, that Brother Deng is very professional, when he told himself early in the morning, the student officer was his seventh uncle and grandfather, and in a blink of an eye, he became the seventh uncle and grandfather of the school officer.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be flawed, the relationship in this clan is complicated, some are young, maybe it's not necessarily a cousin who is still a bad old man, this brother Zhang is clearly doing the opposite, the more he says this, the more he doesn't seem to be a liar, if he is a liar, how can he deliberately say it so appallingly, and the average liar will seem to have no flaws.
Ye Hong couldn't stop being excited, he said loudly: "This time in high school, I have to quickly ask someone to send a message to the family, I have to tell my father, let him have a good time, otherwise when the good news arrives, he is overjoyed, but I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it." In addition, the Ye family's poems and books are heirlooms, but the rules cannot be broken, so that the family must prepare the happy money as soon as possible, so as to save the number of rudeness. This guest should also be invited to the banquet in the morning, in short, I am the glorious lintel, and if the ancestors knew it, they did not know how happy they would be. ”
After a pause, he continued proudly: "The point is to understand the yuan, and there is the seventh uncle and grandfather of the great grandmaster to help dredge it, and the great grandmaster will definitely look at me differently at that time, hey, when the list is released, I should prepare a gift to visit, but what kind of gift to bring, it's really embarrassing, it's not difficult, it's difficult, it's even more difficult for this relationship." ”
He stroked his beard, looking depressed, and then looked at Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu with envy, and said: "Actually, sometimes I still envy Ziyi and Chunqiu, you, although you are not on the list, at least you don't have to worry about these relationships, in fact, there is nothing wrong with being a showman with peace of mind, like me, once I understand the yuan, hey, I don't know how many people will come to congratulate me, and when the list is released, I will not touch the ground, in this life, I am afraid that I can only hide these few days of leisure, hey, wait for me to come back in the future, I'm sure I'll miss this free time. ”
Ye Jing was taken aback: "What, the Spring and Autumn Period is not in the middle?" ”
It's okay if he misses his horse and doesn't fall down, but Chunqiu is the head of the Ningbo Mansion, and he is also off the list?
Ye Hong said very sadly: "I asked, the seventh uncle and grandfather who mentioned the school official said, except for me, there is no surname Ye on the list, it seems that you are all named Sun Shan, brother, don't regret it, you see, you and Chunqiu can hide for a few years to be idle, where is like me, once you enter the official career, there will be no peace from now on." ”
He raised his face slightly, raised it at a forty-five degree angle, and his eyes were no longer looking at the Spring and Autumn father and son, but on the beam of the house, and read word by word: "How much ability you have, how much responsibility you should have, this is also fate." ”
Ye Chunqiu suddenly remembered a poem, the life and death of the country is profitable, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and fortune, I will go, this poem by Lin Zexu is actually used on the body of the clanman, it is really ......
Ye Jing began to feel uneasy, looking at Ye Hong's convincing appearance, could it be that this time the father and son really stumbled? If that's the case, it's really shameless to go back to see my father and fellow villagers.
Although the old lady didn't have any expectations for Ye Jing this time, he had great hopes for the Spring and Autumn Period, in the past, if there were outsiders at home, he also bragged a lot of bulls, and now he ......
He's a little dumbfounded.
Ye Chunqiu said coldly: "Uncle clan, that person can't be a liar." ”
Ye Hong was furious and said bitterly: "What is this, what is this?" My friend, at first glance, is a good person, haven't you seen his style, gestures, which is not like a human being? Hmph, Chunqiu, you are young, don't be jealous at every turn, this is not good, it is nothing if you can't lift people, but virtue is very important. My friend said that he didn't want to tell me, and if I hadn't begged him and asked him again and again, he wouldn't have said it casually. You're too young to understand anything. ”
He glanced at Ye Chunqiu in disgust, hmph, now that the overall situation has been decided, it is time for him to go and have fun.
Oh, I think about it, my father still has an explanation, I am now in the limelight, it is inevitable that someone will say bad things behind my back and chew the root of my tongue, hmm......
He narrowed his eyes and muttered: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the line is higher than the people, and the people will not." Be prepared. ”
So he walked out of the inn, and thought that Fang Cai was still thinking about borrowing money from Ye Chunqiu and his son, and wanted to go back, so he sneered again, Hmph, these two stupid things, I am dignified, others are eager to send the silver to me, they want to send me, I don't want it.
So he didn't go back, and he involuntarily walked to the gambling house of Wang Ji.
Oops, now it's a spring breeze, it's better to play a few.
He thought about it, not to mention that he still had 'big things' to do, and when he entered the gambling house, he was confronted by the debt collector last time, and the debt collector said: "It turned out to be Master Ye, and Master Ye wants to try his luck again, hurry up, please inside." ”
This gambling house is like this, if you don't have the money to pay it back, he will abuse you to death, but when you have money, he will immediately treat you as an uncle. Since he asked for money from the Ye family last time, it is easy to say anything.
Ye Hong pulled him aside and said with a smile: "I don't care about what happened last time. But I have to ask you for a favor, you must not tell anyone about my debt, if someone really asks, you will say that it is a man named Ye Chunqiu...... Well, you have to understand, I won't let you waste your efforts, and when the time comes, you will naturally have your benefits, just say that I am gambling for Ye Chunqiu......"
He pointed and stroked for a long time, and the debt collector smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you are a regular customer, did we hurt you?" ”
Ye Hong rubbed his hands, very happy, and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, I want to try my luck again, you take a hundred taels of silver." ”
The debt collector took a moment, this Uncle Ye was bold enough to dare to play so big, but he laughed instead, anyway, the Ye family couldn't run away, and it couldn't be repaid, it was a big deal.
