The waterway checkpoint was as he expected, and the blockade was lifted soon after Jinyiwei left, although the inspection of leaving the city was very strict, but almost no one cared about entering the city, and he and Kuanbo returned to the city very smoothly.

"You don't?"

The shopkeeper heard the other party's rebuttal, blew his beard and glared at the little guy and said, "Do I agree to your leave?" This is called absenteeism without reason, you know? You don't have to tell me this, Gou Jian, you've been fired! ”

It may be that the voice is too loud, and the voice falls, and a rich old man comes out of the store, looking at the age of Ershun, but his body is tough and his back is straight.

"What's the matter, shopkeeper? What's the point of being noisy on the street? The old man asked.

When the originally arrogant shopkeeper Wang saw the visitor, he hurriedly bowed his waist and replied: "The owner, this guy sneaks out every once in a while, and today is even more absent from work for a day, which is simply a disappointing of the owner's salary, and I am about to let him go." ”

"Oh?" The old man's scrutinizing gaze fell on Gou Jian.

Gou Jian saw the owner again, and hurriedly explained: "The owner, there was temporary news at home yesterday that my father was seriously ill, and I had already asked for leave with the shopkeeper Wang. ”

"Oh?" The old man's gaze turned to Shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly said: "This kid, usually he doesn't have a little truth in his mouth, don't be deceived by him, this time it must be a lie." ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, you said this too much, I usually have a lot of things, but I didn't tell the truth that time?

It's that you think that I went to the street to pick up the goods and deliver the goods for too long, not to say that I was running and playing, obviously wronged me. Gou Jian said aggrievedly, with a cry in his voice.

"What do you mean that I have wronged you, you can use an hour to go to the warehouse to get a piece of cloth, am I suspicious of you?" Shopkeeper Wang faced Gou Jian and returned to his arrogant appearance.

"You won't let me catch the car, I ran over, so far away, I came back, I was tired on the road and rested on the side of the road for a while, isn't it normal for a little longer?" Gou Jian said incredulously.

"I didn't ask you to work for a job, but I didn't let you rest with your salary." Shopkeeper Wang snorted coldly.

"Me?" Gou Jian wiped her tears aggrievedly.

"Why don't you catch a car?" The proprietor questioned.

Cold sweat oozed from the shopkeeper Wang's head, and he said a little unnaturally: "Owner, then one or two pieces of cloth, originally people ran to get them."

I didn't need an hour to come and go before, the owner you see this young man is full of excuses, either tired or no car, I don't know how to be grateful, the owner gives him food, I don't know how to test for the store

Consider. ”

"Oh, now young people just can't endure hardship, how can we be like back then, let alone a piece of cloth, even if a car can be pulled back by itself, it won't be delayed, alas." The proprietor sighed.

Immediately, Shopkeeper Wang nodded frantically in agreement, looking at Gou Jian's eyes were already full of mockery.

Gou Jian's fists clenched in his sleeves, ready for a showdown.

"But after all, it's my own buddy, forget it this time, right?" The owner suddenly changed his tone.

Shopkeeper Wang stiffened his smile, and then quickly nodded and said: "The owner is kind-hearted, Gou Jian, don't hurry up and thank the owner." ”

Gou Jian let go of his fist and bowed to the owner to thank him.

The proprietor nodded, and then said, "I took the ledger away, you guys rest early, don't delay tomorrow's business." ”

"The owner walks slowly." Shopkeeper Wang watched the owner until the sedan chair had disappeared around the corner, then turned around, glared at Gou Jian fiercely, and entered the cloth shop with a cold snort.

A warm smile on the corner of Gou Jian's mouth, followed the shopkeeper Wang into the cloth shop, coincidentally, the green brick in front of the door fell into disrepair, and when Gou Jian walked by, it was immediately broken into several pieces.

The moon set and the sun rose, and the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Gou Jian was called up by the shopkeeper Wang with a disgusted face.

"Yesterday, the wife of the political envoy Xiang, we ordered a purple satin, you can send it to Mrs. Xiang now, remember to go early and return early, don't delay on the road." Shopkeeper Wang said.

Gou Jian agreed, quickly took the silk and left the cloth shop, and trotted to the yamen of the political envoy.

The political envoy to the Yamen, Li Jian yawned, and was preparing to go out with Lao Zhang, with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard look, indicating that the two of them should not have slept well last night.

"I said Brother Zhang, is this too early?" Li Jian complained, after all, he was a young man and lacked sleep.

Old Zhang Heng glanced at him and said, "If you want to sleep lazily, don't you look when?" Commander Guo repeatedly explained that these days let you and me pay more attention to it, and behave well in front of the emperor, maybe after we go back, we can also mix up as officials. ”

Seeing that Brother Zhang moved Guo Mao out, Li Jian had no choice but to admit defeat: "My good brother, what you said is right, I will just grind a few times, but getting up so early and not even letting me eat breakfast, is it too much?" ”

Lao Zhang smiled and leaned over to Li Jian's side and whispered: "Silly boy, I heard that morning tea is a must, but there are too many guests, and they are all made in rations, and it will be gone if it is late, my brother will take you to taste it today." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Li Jian's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again

The head said: "Brother Zhang is still powerful, but I am shallow, today my brother will invite my brother to a delicious meal." ”

Lao Zhang looked at Li Jian with relief, and the two walked out of the door with their shoulders hooked.

Without waiting for the two of them to identify the direction, Lao Zhang's hand quickly stopped a round hidden weapon, and with a hard effort in his hand, he heard the hidden weapon screaming.

"Oh, uncle, uncle spare his life!"

Lao Zhang found out that the so-called hidden weapon turned out to be a human head, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the other party took a few steps back, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the purple satin in his hand fell to the ground and was stained with a piece of ash.

Looking at it, he didn't know it, nor was it the Yamen people in official uniforms, Lao Zhang asked suspiciously: "Who is here?" ”

Gou Jian rubbed his head, slowly looked up at the person in front of him, his heart couldn't help jumping, he hurriedly lowered his head, pointed to the silk on the ground and said, "Official, the little one is a guy from the cloth shop, who came to deliver cloth to Mrs. Xiang." ”

Lao Zhang sighed and said: "Then you are wrong, now Lord Xiang lives next door to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, if you want to find Mrs. Xiang, you should go next door to find it." ”

Gou Jian got up from the ground, picked up the cloth and waved to the two of them again and again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" After speaking, he ran to the yamen of the envoy according to the inspection.

Li Jian looked at Gou Jian's back, and said with some confusion: "Why do I look so familiar with this person?" ”

Lao Zhang also echoed in confusion: "Don't say it, I also feel familiar." ”

"Is it like a family member?" Li Jian tried to ask.

"Probably not, I can't say."

Lao Zhang thought about it and shook his head incomprehensibly.

"Forget it, don't think about it, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up!" Lao Zhang glanced at the sky and nervously pulled Li Jian away.

Half an hour after the Hongbao cloth shop

"How do you do it? Can you go out and deliver a piece of cloth wrong? There is such a purple silk in our store, are you unable to get along with me and deliberately stumble? Shopkeeper Wang looked at Gou Jian angrily.

Gou Jian's aggrieved explanation was exchanged for greater dissatisfaction from the other party.

"Don't talk to me about what official errand knocked you down, your eyes are used to vent your anger?" Shopkeeper Wang asked.

"Punish you for a day's wages, tidy up this satin for me, and send it to me!" Shopkeeper Wang didn't wait for Gou Jian to explain, he finished speaking to him impatiently, turned around and left to rest in the house, and Gou Jian was the only one left in the store.

Gou Jian looked at the back of the shopkeeper, a familiar smile appeared, and he muttered to himself: "Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, it seems that I can stay for two more days and have a good time fishing." ”
