One hundred and twenty-four long pavilion farewell
Since the cart entered the boundary of Songfeng County, Xu Xian is twelve points of caution, whether it is the horseman intentionally or unintentionally from the avenue to the gate of Songfeng Mountain, or the rough face of the young craftsman when he is getting more and more hands, let him cheer up to deal with it, to the gate of Songfeng Mountain?
Xu Xian didn't have any coercive words when he came up with a shy face, and those who mostly had ghosts in their hearts didn't resist much, so even in the territory of Songfeng County, it was not a matter of one or two times when he met the disciples of Songfeng Mountain on the road, and he didn't give birth to anything wrong, but Wei Changpan's eyes in the cart became more and more unkind, but he was afraid of Wei Changpan and Xu Xian's status as martial artists, so he didn't immediately get into trouble.
Although those ill-intentioned fellow travelers couldn't find any opportunities, Xu Xian was also tired enough, Wei Changpan couldn't move one arm, if he really fought with those men who were used to doing hard work, he was designated to be pushed to the ground, fortunately, those individuals were afraid after seeing Wei Changpan's fists and feet, and they didn't dare to do it if they didn't move Xu Xian to help.
This big car with different thoughts of passers-by traveled more than 40 miles on the road in Songfeng County, and then turned to Suzhou in the west, which was negotiated before leaving Wuhang City, and it was understandable that Sister Cui and Xu Xian only paid the fare to get here, and there were less than 100 miles left, so they had to rely on two legs.
Wei Changpan's two legs are accustomed to walking on rugged mountain roads, although there are injuries, but it is not much in the way, although Xu Xian has a martial arts physique, but in Qishan County, the young master is used to life, as soon as he heard that there are still a hundred miles away, his legs and feet are a little weak, but his mouth is still strong, saying that it is just a hundred miles away, with the young master's body and kung fu, but one or two days to Yunyun.
"Let's go, save the space in the car. The young craftsman with a rough face in the cart said in a strange manner, "It's good to walk more aisles, but it's a pity that someone has white flowers and silver, don't say that you can still pick up two coins on the road." ”
Xu Xian, who had already walked a few steps after taking the burden off the cart, turned his head and rushed onto the cart, looked around at the people who were cowering in the corner, and said with a sad smile:
"The official notice has been posted for so many days and has not caught the people, just a few of you, I really think the official family is stupid, take out a few hundred taels of silver to give away, Lao Tzu is merciful and tells you a few, there are still a few old monsters hidden in the sect, among which there are those who practice the evil skill of eating people's hearts and livers, and when the time comes, Brother Wei will be sold, and someone will come to dig your heart and liver when you sleep at night the next day. ”
"Although the silver is good, it also has to be spent on life. Leaving this sentence, Xu Xian kicked the young craftsman in the stomach and jumped out of the cart and ran towards Wei Changpan, leaving the young craftsman curled up in the carriage with his stomach in his arms.
"Why bother?"
"It doesn't take a lifetime to keep them from opening their mouths on these miscellaneous pieces. Xu Xian took over the burden from Wei Changpan's hands, "Just make up two sentences, it really scared these people, it is estimated that there will be no difference for a while, and it is impossible to say in the long run, after all, Brother Wei is worth hundreds of taels of silver, and he has no money to lose." ”
Xu Xian is also helpless, let those who can't move their feet when they see the white flowers and silver, it is not easier than letting the sow go up the tree.
He counted the remaining days with his fingers, and there were still five or six days to reach the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was enough to walk more than twenty miles in a day, but it was better to go to the carriage and horse shop to get a horse, and the two of them would ride together. It will be there in three or two days, but after paying the fare, the money bag will be shriveled up, and I can't teach Brother Wei to come....
After thinking about it, when Xu Xian still couldn't make up his mind, he was about to discuss with Wei Changpan beside him, only to find that Wei Changpan had walked a hundred steps behind him, and hurriedly caught up and said: "Brother Wei, Brother Wei, go the other way!"
Wei Changpan paused, turned around, raised the arm that couldn't move reluctantly, and made a fist salute to Xu Xian: "Brother Xu, there is something to ask for." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Xian cupped his fists and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "How can you still have these etiquettes between you and me, just say it directly." ”
"Trouble Brother Xu to go to Lao Wei's house in Qingshan Town and give a message to my parents. Wei Changpan thought for a moment and said: "The stone eats well and dresses warmly outside, there are a lot of kind-hearted people outside, live well, don't worry, if the old house at home leaks, please ask Brother Tongqian to repair it, don't be strong with your old arms and legs, don't be strong, you don't have to take care of the two acres of land all day, and a few sisters in the Xiaoqing Building are also tired to say, and tell my husband, outside..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Xu Xian stopped Wei Changpan's momentum and said with a wry smile. "I can't remember so many words for a while, so it's better to find some pen and paper and write a letter to my family. ”
Letter.... Wei Changpan shook his head, the news in Qingshan Town is blocked, the town may not know whether he is alive or dead, his father and mother are illiterate, and it is inevitable that the third or fourth person will know about writing a letter to the family, if there is one who likes to chew the root of the tongue....
I'm afraid that the people of Songfeng Mountain will be waiting for rabbits in the town.
Xu Xian listened to Wei Changpan's words, was a little surprised, and asked tentatively, "That's all?"
"By the way, there are also these two taels of silver, please ask Brother Xu to help bring them back. Wei Changpan thought about it, and took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and stuffed them in his hands, Xu Xian wanted to laugh at first, but when he saw his solemn expression, he was a little serious, "Brother Wei, don't worry, this silver must be brought to my uncle and aunt." ”
Two taels of silver, even if Xu Xian's family fell in the middle of the road, it was still just the cost of a meal of wine and meat, and in his opinion, it was a little shabby, but for Wei Changpan, he was afraid that he had taken out more than half of the silver on his body. Xu Xian inexplicably sighed a little, he was expecting to get ahead on this trip to Wuhang City, but now he came back after cleaning up the flowers on his body, and he didn't even bring anything to his father, where is it a little like a child?
Ashamed.
On the road in Songfeng County, Jiangzhou, according to the law of Dayao, a pavilion is set up for pedestrians to rest. There were two young men, saying goodbye here, turning their backs.
....
The Xu family in Qishan County, which is also considered to be the number one wealthy family in this county, seven or eight restaurants and similar number of liquor shops are opened in the best locations in the county, plus the surname Xu Toujia holds a wine-making recipe in his hand, and the wine-making water is mellow and has a long aftertaste, which is the favorite of many people in the city who are addicted to alcohol, that is, the restaurants in Wuhang City have a wine named Xu Brewing, and the Xu family has a prosperous business, which can be imagined.
However, there is an old saying that you can't be rich for three generations, which seems to be an unreasonable statement, but it can always be fulfilled. In the first two years, the harvest in the fields around Qishan County was not very good, and the Xu family needed to make wine was the new rice in the fields of Qishan County that year, and they were never willing to use other counties.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, the only son of the Xu family is still a person who does not like to do business and likes to practice martial arts, and the Xu Tou family is also spoiled by the only son, and it was sent to an old martial artist in Yuyin County early, and it is not distressing to spend the silver like water every year, but the only child's talent is really limited, and it is not high or low, and it is more than enough to be a head coach who takes care of the home or a dart master who guards the house, but it is difficult to make a name for himself.
What really crushed the Xu family's industry was that the business in Wuhang City was crushed by a Huizhou liquor seller, and Shengsheng pushed down the price, and would rather lose money than press down Xu Brew, but the wine sold by the liquor seller did have some doorways, and the taste was only slightly inferior to Xu Brew, which had a cumbersome process. The restaurants in Wuhang City saw that the taste of the two was almost the same, and the Huizhou wine sellers were two dollars cheaper per jar of wine, so it didn't take half a year to see the fragrance of wine in Wuhang City.
The business was squeezed back to Qishan County, and the money earned was less than half, and the restaurants and liquor shops in the county town only needed more than a dozen jars of wine every month, but the newly brewed Xu Jiajiu still had hundreds of jars, so he contacted Songfeng Yuyin County and transported it by cart, but he never thought that he would rob the bandits halfway, and he had to pay some silver.
People are unlucky, they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth, this back and forth, Xu Brew, who was originally famous in Jiangzhou, retracted back to the boundary of Qishan County. Half of the restaurant and wine shop changed hands, but you can also lose some silver less, Xu Toujia's trick is also excellent, maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback one day.
However, earlier this year, the only son of the Xu Tou family came back from Yuyin County, saying that he had learned something, and he could still bluff people by playing a few tricks, Xu Tou's family is now a little older, and his energy is not as strong as in the early years, although he still takes care of his own industry, he should also find his son to come back to help take care of things, but he was ruthless, and wrote a letter to a distant relative who was developed in Wuhang City, calling for help to find an errand, not to mention seeking an official body to seal his wife and son, and it is also good to eat the money and food of the court in the official mansion.
However, not to mention the poor harvest in the county this year, there are not a few hungry people in Huisu and Erzhou who have fled to Qishan County in the south of Jiangzhou, and every household is short of grain, so how can anyone be willing to sell it to make wine? Even if it is a sky-high price, the Xu Tou family still gritted their teeth and bought ten loads of grain, saying that they can't break this year's share no matter what, that is a rule handed down from their ancestors, no matter how bad the year is, even if it only brews one jar of wine, there must be a lot of Xu Brew that year.
Fuxian Juben is also the number one restaurant in Qishan County, and now the door can be crowded, no wonder, such a disaster year, each family is not having a good time, how many people have the leisure and spare money to drink in such a sophisticated place?
The pot-bellied Xu Toujia who sat on the Taishi's chair had only one sentence.
My son hasn't come back yet, what's the hurry?
Twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, the days passed like water, and the shopkeeper in Fuxianju secretly guessed that the young master of the Xu family was mostly out drinking, how could he come back?
This word came into the ears of the Xu Tou family, and it was just a smile, I said that I would come back before the thirty years of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so what if Lao Tzu waited until the thirty children?
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, at noon, a crack was opened at the gate of Qishan County, and a young man who went home for the reunion year was allowed to come in.
The old man with a big belly who was looking at the door of Fuxian Residence had a sour nose, and greeted him from afar:
"Son, I'm back!"
