Chapter 228: Elm

Finally staying up until the morning, Wang Quanquan went to an alley in the city with two black circles.

It was just dawn, and there were few pedestrians in the alley, and an unkempt beggar was sleeping under a torn quilt.

Wang Quanquan stepped forward, stretched out his foot and kicked the other party, and after the beggar said vaguely "start work at noon", he turned over and continued to meet Zhou Gong.

Wang Quanquan smiled slightly, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and threw it into the broken bowl on the ground.

With the crisp sound of "jingle bell", the beggar, who had just been lying on the ground and talking in his sleep, swooped up and held down the broken bowl.

"What do you have to do?"

About forty or fifty beggars bared their yellow teeth and squeezed a smile.

"I want to see Su Qiaoqiao." Wang Quanquan said in a deep voice.

At present, this seemingly ordinary beggar is Su Qiaoqiao's informant, and he is responsible for matchmaking any "business" on weekdays.

"Does Childe have an introducer?" The beggar asked, biting the silver in his hand.

Wang Quanquan did not answer, and threw out another ingot with a blank face, and as the crisp sound came out, the beggar's eyes straightened, this time it was gold.

The expression of the beggar who was squatting on the ground changed instantly, and he picked up the gold and put it in his arms, and no matter what the introducer was, he quickly stood up and looked around, and then said mysteriously:

"Uncle come with me."

Then be the first to drill into an alley.

Wang Quanquan looked around, and then followed into the alley.

The alley was already narrow, and it was early in the morning, so it was extremely dark.

Handle Quan walks in the alley, and from time to time he can step on slippery things. I don't know if it's because of the moss that has not been seen all year round, or something else.

After four or five rounds in the alley, the front finally opened up, and the beggar came to a house, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, two long and one short.

Soon, the door opened, revealing a woman dressed in pink and white.

"Lazy, didn't you say that you don't take work during the day?"

The woman was Su Qiaoqiao, due to the dim light, she only saw the name Hanako blocked at the door, and she didn't notice the royal authority behind her at all.

The beggar named Old Lazy was about to say something, when the royal authority behind him cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, Miss Su, long time no see."

When Su Qiaoqiao heard this, she noticed that there was another person behind the beggar, and she looked at the king's authority suspiciously.

"Is that you? Didn't you just see it yesterday? ”

The old lazy person is clever, and seeing that the two seem to know each other, he hurriedly excuses himself for a stomachache and wants to go to the alley for convenience.

Su Qiaoqiao frowned and waved his hand impatiently, while Wang Quanquan looked at his boots thoughtfully.

"Let's go, let's come in."

Su Qiaoqiao pointed to the room, and after Wang Quanquan rubbed the soles of his shoes vigorously, he raised his legs and stepped into the threshold.

……

"I don't care, I just want to marry Qiaoqiao."

In a high-gate mansion in the city, a good-looking boy was glaring at the middle-aged man opposite, and the other party looked helpless.

The middle-aged man's name is Yu Gongyue, a well-known wealthy merchant in the city, whose family has been in business for generations and has saved a lot of foundation.

The young man opposite is his son, named Yu Mu, who is the only seedling in the family and has been smart since he was a child.

When Yu Mu was eight years old, he was able to write words and sentences that were admired by the magistrates, and even the magistrate made a baby marriage with the Yu family, who was a businessman.

The Yu family has never been a scholar, and Yu Gong also pointed to his son to study hard, and he was the face of Yu's family after learning something.

If you don't want to play a small clever child, the more stupid you get. As he grew up, Yu Mu did not advance but retreated, and what he wrote became more and more bullshit.

Until now, it is even more like the name, the whole elm lump, not only can not read, but even business is ignorant.

Fortunately, the county lord is a trustworthy person, and he did not cancel the marriage contract because of this, but it also made Master Yu's hanging heart relax a lot.

If Yu Mu Ken'an divides the shares, marries a wife and has children, the family business left by his ancestors is enough for him to eat and wear for the rest of his life, but he doesn't know what to do, he ignores the daughter of the Zhixian family, and falls in love with a female snitch.

It was the first time that Yu Mu, who was only eighteen years old, did business for his father, pulling hundreds of fine porcelain to Linxian to sell, and met Su Qiaoqiao, who claimed to be the number one thief in the world, halfway.

The young Yu Mu was shocked at first sight when he saw Su Qiaoqiao, and he looked stunned as the other party moved the most valuable vase.

Su Qiaoqiao, who thought that the other party would shout, laughed out loud after seeing his stupid and stupid appearance, and this smile completely hooked Yu Mu's soul.

Since then, Yu Mu has been in a mess all day long, often smirking alone, and his family thinks he has hit the evil spirit, and has found many masters, but it still has not improved, and it has lasted for more than a month.

More than a month later, Yu Mu, who was still lamenting to the moon in the middle of the night, caught a glimpse of a black shadow climbing over the courtyard wall of his house, and when he saw the familiar figure, he immediately came to his senses and followed him far away.

The black shadow looked left and right, and finally locked his eyes on the Yu family's silver vault, and after tiptoeing to pick the door lock, he just pushed open the door, and pulled a silk thread hidden in the dark, and then the bell rang loudly, and the entire Yu Mansion immediately became lively.

Holding torches, the family came from all directions, and the black shadow hurriedly entered a house, and did not expect to collide with Yu Mu who was peeking through the crack of the door.

The plot after that is very vulgar: Yu Mu branched out of the family, and Su Qiaoqiao, who was dressed in black, saved the day, and the two had a long talk that night and became friends.

Since then, Yu Mu has lost the desire to study and improve, and often sneaks out in the middle of the night to follow the female snitch to rob the rich and help the poor.

The paper couldn't hold the fire, and after Yu Gongyue knew about it, he was almost so angry that he tied up his son and threw him into the firewood room.

After being locked up for a few days, I thought he would learn to be obedient, but he didn't want to just release it, and he disappeared that night, until the next day he drank tea with the county master, and heard that the official seal of Lord Yin was stolen last night.

Back at home, Yu Gongyue hung his son up and beat him for the first time in his life, and refused to stop until the rattan was broken.

Yu Mu, who was not physically strong, recuperated for more than a month before he recovered, and he was separated for a while, but he patronized the county lord's mansion again a few days later, and the filial piety money that the county lord had saved over the years was not a single child left.

Yu Gong has used the method all over the time, and the good words are exhausted, but his son is soft and hard. When the father had no choice but to force each other to die, this made the son reluctantly agree not to go out to steal in the future, at the cost of taking 1,000 taels of silver from the family every month to help the people.

Although Yu Gongyue felt sorry for the silver, he was such a son, and he couldn't watch the other party go to the point of no return, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to this "deal".

After that, Yu Mu finally got honest for a while, and then he started to make trouble again.

……

"I'm going to marry Qiaoqiao."

"Impossible! You're already engaged. Yu Gongyue categorically refused.

"I don't care, I won't marry her, I'll go to the county lord to break the marriage contract." Yu Mu came up with great strength.

"Little rabbit cub, unless your father and I have braided hair, you don't want to marry that female snitch into the mansion."

Yu Gongyue finally started the real fire, this time it was not the first time Yu Mu mentioned it, his mouth was dry, but this little rabbit cub has a tendon, but the oil and salt do not enter.

Yu Mu heard this, his neck was crossed, and he said something that made his father cry and laugh: "Just marry." ”

If he says angry words like "It's a big deal, I'll move out", Yu Gongyue can feel a little comforted in his heart, at least it shows that his son still has some integrity, and now he says "just marry", which is clearly to eat himself.

"You rebellious son, do you really want to be angry with your father?"

Yu Gongyue stretched out his right hand, which was trembling with anger, and pointed to his only son.

"Mu'er, don't be angry with your father, what's so good about that woman surnamed Su, who is as good as the daughter of the county magistrate who knows books and gifts?"

At this time, Yu's mother, who had been silent, spoke, the child is the heart of the mother, but this heart meat makes the old couple too uneasy.

Yu Mu's expression froze when he heard this, and he said:

"Mother, the daughter of the county is good, but the child doesn't like it, although Su Qiaoqiao is a snitch, but the child just likes it, is this reason enough?"

“……”

Yu's mother, who had never read any books, didn't know how to answer for a while, but Yu's father on the side snorted coldly and said:

"There are a lot of crooked truths, and I haven't seen you read a name."

"Dad, this is a bad word, reading books is to broaden your horizons and cultivate your sentiments, if you are bent on fame, you will not have any great achievements in your life."

"Hmph, ridiculous, being an official in the court is not an achievement, so what is an achievement? I see that you have made such a big fortune in your life, so I will discuss it with Huang Zhixian and let you enter the county government as a small official or something. ”

"Dad, you know me, flattery has never been suitable for me, and the best thing for me is ...... Marry Su Qiaoqiao. ”

"You!"

Yu Gongyue almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he thought that the other party had forgotten about this stubble.

Unexpectedly, Yu Mu smiled, his eyes revealing a rare shrewdness, "Dad, don't think that I don't know that you are changing the conversation, tell you that I will not do it again after suffering a loss." ”

After Yu Mu finished speaking, he took out a folding fan very appropriately, unfolded it suddenly, and shook it gently, with his handsome appearance, it was quite a bit of a bamboo in his chest.

However, the actual situation is that I don't know how many times Yu Gongyue has transferred the conversation, and he has always succeeded before, but today he has been seen through.

Yu Gongyue frowned, thinking to himself why this tried and tested trick didn't work today, it seems that next time he will have to change his method.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Yu Mu speak again:

"Dad, don't always be prejudiced against thieves, those who steal hooks will be punished, those who steal the country will be punished, the reason why thieves are despised by the world is just that they don't steal big enough."

Yu Gongyue's face was at a loss, he had always regarded his son's words as crooked, but today's words, how could they sound so reasonable.

Seeing that the old man was about to be persuaded by his son, Yu's mother hurriedly interjected:

"Mu'er, you can not listen to your father, then can you listen to your mother's advice, don't have anything to do with Miss Su, we don't care what she steals, it's not right after all.

Think about it, it was because of her that you were tied to a pillar and smoked alive for an hour......"

It's good that Yu's mother didn't mention this stubble, but as soon as she mentioned this, Yu Mu's expression immediately became strange.

"Mother, if you hadn't shouted 'hit hard, beat him lightly and don't have a long memory', my father would have killed him? The family law passed down from my grandfather, as for being cut off? ”

"......" Yu's mother was speechless for a while, but then she reacted, "Mu'er, it hurts in the child's heart, it hurts in the mother's heart, do you know how long the mother's chest hurts afterwards?" ”

Yu Mu looked at his mother with a smile, he knew his mother too well, this woman from the Kanto region was the most jealous and hateful, and she was also the most unbearable for Su Qiaoqiao.

If it hadn't been for my own father to stop me, I'm afraid that my mother would have personally used the rolling pin to greet herself, an "unfilial son".

Mother Yu saw that her mother's image could not move her son, so she gave up the performance and said bluntly:

"If you dare to marry that woman surnamed Su to your family, I will break your legs."

The father and son were thrilled when they heard this.

……

Yu Mu returned to the room dejectedly, and sat down on the chair, "It seems that this matter will be out of action for a while." ”

Just as he sighed, a figure fell from the beam and fell softly.

"Hey, Yu Mutou."

"Why are you here? Is there a lack of money, I'll take care of my father's needs. ”

Yu Mu, who was originally sullen, was in high spirits, and he didn't look a little sluggish, and he was about to get up, but he was pressed down again by the woman opposite, and it was Su Qiaoqiao.

"You can let your dad save some snacks."

Su Qiaoqiao sat opposite Yu Mu with a grin, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip before explaining the purpose of this trip:

"I'm getting out of here."

"Huh?" Yu Mu, who was originally in high spirits, immediately wilted a little, but then perked up again, "Where are you going?" I'm with you! ”

Su Qiaoqiao's eyes were a little dim, staring at the teacup in his hand and whispering:

"I can't take you this time, I'm going to a far place."

"......" Yu Mu's original enthusiasm was extinguished again.

"Thank you for your help during this time, your father and mother are right, we are not all the way, there is no need to get together."

Su Qiaoqiao raised her face and showed a hint of a smile, but no matter how she looked at it, it looked like a forced smile.

Yu Mu's heart for her, how could she not know, but she was a snitch before, and it was impossible for the two of them, but from today she has another identity, and this identity makes the gap between the two of them become a moat.

……

Just this morning, she was approached by a man who had only two faces.

He said a lot about himself, both about his mother and about his own father.

The man who claimed to be his brother said a lot of apologies to himself and revealed his terrifying true identity.

For the first time in five years, the woman, who had decided that she had no relatives in the world except her mother, cried out for the first time in five years, and she drove the strange man away, saying that she wanted to be quiet.

The man stopped talking, and left a portrait before leaving.

The person in the portrait bears a striking resemblance to the one depicted on the burned paper in her arms, except that the one on the table is older.

……

Yu Mu knew the temperament of the woman in front of him, once he decided, he would do it without hesitation, and no one could stop him.

The atmosphere became very oppressive for a while.

Yu Mu took a deep breath and finally squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Got it, take care of yourself in the future."

The woman's face was entangled, she was used to treating the other party as a fart over the years, and she was reluctant for a while.

"I'll come back to see your ......" Su Qiaoqiao paused and continued: "The young lady of the county order family is quite suitable for you, and she is also good-looking. ”

"You look good?" Yu Mu asked with a smile.

"There it is." Su Qiaoqiao also smiled.
