Chapter Seventy-Four: Twenty Taels

In the evening, night fell, and after a grief-stricken cry, Sister Zhenxue and Daughter-in-law Zhengang were persuaded by the women of the clan one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info patriarch Xuan Gong also came back, still leading the way, pointing fingers, choking three and drinking, directing the neighbors to scrape together things, helping to burn money and paper, bury pots and cook, and a simple mourning hall was quickly erected.

Lao Zhentou went back to the house to change into clean clothes, after some tossing, his consciousness slowly recovered, watching his wife lying quietly in the hall, decades of ups and downs, morning and twilight, let this always strong old man, sitting alone in the corner, can't help but cry!

Xuanwu also came over at night, and as soon as he saw Lingwa in the dark, he didn't fight in one place, and he stepped forward and gave Lingwa a kick without saying a word, and the Lingwa who kicked it took two steps back, and the surrounding soldiers and clansmen were dumbfounded?

"Bastard, he actually pushed Lao Tzu to the paddy field, causing Lao Tzu to get soaked, and he couldn't climb up for a long time, and he almost didn't freeze to death!

After speaking, he wanted to raise his leg and kick again, but was stopped by everyone.

Lingwa squatted on the side with a group of soldiers with iron tools, only looked at him calmly, did not argue with him, and said nothing. When asked about horses, one of the soldiers told him,

"The horse has been led back to Uncle Bai's house - go to his house and lead it!"

When Xuanwu heard this, his head grew again, and he thought to himself, "Going to his house to take care of it?" Isn't this tantamount to bearing the guilt of asking for it? Can he easily take it for me? Inevitably, I don't know how much it will cost me?

Thinking of this, I was so angry, and I was even more panicked! Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, he rushed forward and kicked Lingwa again, scolding,

"You still come to Lao Tzu, bastard-bring the horse back to Lao Tzu-"

When he was not reluctant, suddenly a girl shouted in the darkness, and stopped him at once.

"Stop!"

Everyone looked back, only to see Zhenxue wearing shackles, walking slowly, borrowing the thick torches in the courtyard, shining on her face with tears, grief is not over, she said coldly to Xuanwu with an angry face,

"Brother Xuanwu, my mother has just walked not far away, and you chased after the door to make a fuss, what is your intention? Does my family have a grudge against you? He is my future husband, he is the first time to enter the door, he is not familiar with life, he doesn't understand anything, you embarrass him, don't you just embarrass me? If there is something, can't you wait until you pass this hurdle to talk about it? Do you have to make trouble today? Don't you let me go?"

Zhen Xue asked a few questions in a row, and Xuanwu, who asked at once, was dumbfounded, and then noticed that the people in the courtyard were full of people, a large pile of paper ashes, doorposts covered by white flowers everywhere, and a dark mourning hall.

The tribesmen are also exhorting,

"Let's talk about it another day, is it the people or the horses that are important?"

Xuan Gong ran out of the room when he heard the sound, and after asking the reason, he also said loudly to Xuanwu,

"Oh, how big is it? Go back and lead, he will lead it, if you don't let it lead, you won't pull it, it's a big deal to raise another one, it will take less than two years, and it will be a good horse!

Although Xuanwu was resentful in his heart, he could only give up and slip away alone. Zhenxue turned around and returned to the mourning hall to continue burning paper, everyone was still busy with their own work, Lingwa couldn't help anything, and still sat on the side with a large group of soldiers.

Zhen Gang took the gold chain of Lingwa, took advantage of the darkness, took a few clansmen, carried the basket, and went to the money village on the walled street to exchange money, and bought some worship supplies casually, as well as food and lodging supplies to help the clansmen.

A gold chain is exchanged for twenty taels of silver, which is enough for a funeral fee, and everything is carried out in grief and indignation!

For Zhenxue's family, sending away the old woman's death, and then facing Zhenxue's birth and departure, the double farewell, weighed heavily on the family's heart, tearing the family's heart, I just hope that this night will always be so dark, never dawn!

And Zhenxue is very strong, although she is sad in her heart, but her mind is clear, she is busy at home, taking care of her father, taking care of her little sister, like a family leader, the clansmen come to ask her if they don't know, and she decides not to ask Lao Zhentou. Despite the pesky soldiers following her from time to time, she also seemed to forget what she was going to do tomorrow.

——

Early the next morning, Bai Yuanjie was obviously accused by the old man last night, and took a few servants carrying a small money cabinet, walked out of the Bai family compound, and strode towards the Baihezhou Temple.

When I entered the ancestral hall, I saw the huge black and white portrait of the giant spirit beast, still showing fear and hatred, and every time I squinted at it disrespectfully, and then walked straight into the backyard.

Before he reached the door of the mages, he cried out with a loud voice,

"Master, I'm here to send you money! Why don't you open the door?"

The voice was loud, and the soldiers in the side rooms on both sides of the noise couldn't help but look over! When the mages in the room heard this, they hurriedly opened the door and greeted each other with smiles.

"Yo, yo, the second young master is here so early, it's really hard, it's hard! The old way is rude, it's rude, hurry up in the house, please, in the house!haha——"

"Isn't it early? The affairs of your masters can't be delayed for a long time, and I was almost scolded to death by the old man last night—I thought I wanted to embezzle?"

"Hey, look at what the second young master is talking about? These little money, how can you blindfold your old eyes! It's just that this big sacrifice is imminent, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!

The two of them entered the room while talking, and the two servants carried the cash cabinet into the room and placed it next to a large square table, Bai Yuanjie waved them out, and then pointed to the cash cabinet and said to the masters,

"Two hundred taels, a lot of money! Do you want to open the cabinet and check it?"

"No, no, I can't trust the second young master, can I have money to use, and I can buy supplies for returning the law!"

Bai Yuanjie didn't open it, he walked around the room, and saw a table and two chairs, an old bed, and a paper-paste window in the room, with simple furnishings, old and black, and couldn't help frowning and saying,

"I said, Master, with so much money, you put it in this broken hall?

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay! There are still dozens of soldiers living outside, and there are so many people surrounding me, it should be no problem! Besides, it's going to be distributed and used soon!"

"Oh, that's not necessarily, I'm afraid of these soldiers? You old man, you can get you with just two moves—it's two hundred taels! It's not one, twenty taels! If there's a mistake, it's serious!"

"Probably not! With so much money, these descendants have no place to use it, and they can't run away? I don't believe that they can still climb over the snowy mountains and escape from the world?"

"Hey, don't say that! That wild boy on the altar yesterday - what's going on? Where did he come from? Didn't he just come down from the sky? Who knows him?"

Bai Yuanjie was still not very relieved, thought for a while and said,

"That's it, I'll help you carry it to the village street and store it in the money village! My brother and a few of them opened it, and hundreds of people are practicing families, guarding every day to ensure that nothing goes wrong! Anyway, it's not far away, you took the silver ticket, how much you use, isn't it more secure?"

The mages thought for a moment and thought it would be okay, so they agreed. Then he called someone to come in and carry him away, and the two of them walked out of the ancestral hall together.

When he got to the village street and deposited the money, the mages signed for it, took the silver ticket, and was about to return, Bai Yuanjie grabbed him again, and said secretly,

"Master, wait a minute, the little nephew has something to discuss with you, discuss!"

"Ah, what is the matter? Even if the second young master has something to say, where is there any need to discuss? As long as the old Taoist can do it, he will definitely do it again!"

Seeing that the mage readily agreed, he looked at the various taverns and noodle restaurants on the walled street, which had just started to open, and said,

"Let's go, let's go to the south side beef restaurant to drink two cups! Some things must be drunk two cups to be said, and it just so happens that we haven't been together for a long time!"

As he spoke, he was about to pull away, and when the mages heard this, they were obviously a little reluctant, so they excused themselves and said,

"It's so early, it's not yet lunchtime, so the wine is free! The second young master doesn't need to be so polite, if you have something to say, it's just that! Besides, the day of this big sacrifice is coming, and there are still a lot of things in the hands of the old man who hasn't dealt with it! Also, after a while, your father won't find me in the hall, maybe he will lose his temper again, I think it's better to change the day, another day——"

"Oh, what's the matter? It's going to be noon soon, can't you have lunch in advance? My old man can go, and it's not that no one accompanies him, if he likes to scold, let him scold, ignore him! Go, go, go-"

After speaking, he forcibly pulled the mages to the south, and several domestic servants behind him waved their hands and sent them back first.

The two of them came to South Street, found a beef shop in Lao Tzu, Bai Yuanzhuo ordered two catties of high-quality beef, a few snacks with wine, and then warmed a pot of rice wine, he then lifted the pot and poured two small half bowls into the two small porcelain bowls, and he picked it up first and said,

"Master, the villain will give you a bowl first!"

After speaking, he leaned his neck and dried it up. He was born with Sven, weak, and his nature is not very moving, so he is not strong enough to drink, a small bowl of wine goes down, and he is straight and spicy, alas, alas, sticks out his tongue.

The mages also took a symbolic sip and listened to him continue,

"Master, take out the silver ticket just now and see if the number is right?"

"Oh, the silver ticket? I've just seen it, and there's no problem, is there any problem?"

"Do you want to see the number, is there a problem?"

Seeing his mysterious face, the mages took out the silver ticket again in confusion, looked at it carefully, and then, oh, said,

"Twenty taels more? this, this- no, no, I have to return it to you—"

After speaking, he was about to get up and go out to withdraw money, but was grabbed by Bai Yuanjie and said,

"I deliberately gave it to my master! Since you have something to ask the master, how can you ask for it in vain, and you don't have to say anything? Take it, it's okay to turn around, drink some wine and buy some winter clothes alone, why not?"

"Second young master, this, this, how can this work? Such a big gift, quite an ordinary clansman has earned two years, where can I stand it?"

"Oh, don't tremble, tell you to take it, and you will take it!

Bai Yuanjie drank the order, then poured wine into the bowl again, and said unhurriedly,

"Yesterday, that dead girl humiliated me in public, making me embarrassed! Thinking that I am the second young master of the Bai family, what kind of woman can't play in the whole Baihezhou, can't do it? But this dead girl is dead, and she is shameless - I was so angry that I didn't sleep all night last night!"

"Hey, that girl is sexually strong, young, doesn't know the rules, and she's a soul who is going to die anyway, so don't be like her, the second young master wants to open up!"

When Bai Yuanjie said this, he couldn't help but get angry, took another sip of wine, looked around at no one around, and finally stared at the mages and said,

"On the day of the sacrifice, I want to be your assistant! I want to see with my own eyes how you tamed that girl? Every year I see the little women who make offerings, at first they cry and tremble, but after a night of incense from you, the next day they are very meek, and they don't cry or make a fuss——"

When the mages heard Bai Yuanjie's request, they were taken aback, completely unexpected? I thought to myself, I'd better give you back the money! This is my peerless secret, if even you playboys know about it, how will I mix it up in the future?

Immediately, his face was embarrassed, he squeaked for a long time, and he couldn't say a word!
