Eight

Since becoming a reporter, the five have rented a small room in Nancheng and cut off contact with Ziyun. At this time, seeing that the house money could not be taken out, and the food money was not settled, he cheekily bought a box of eight pieces and went to see Grandma Yun. I didn't know that I hadn't seen each other for a few months, and the situation changed dramatically. The old Chinese medicine doctor had passed away due to an emergency, and the hospital was a bleak scene. Grandma Ziyun is washing clothes in a basin. When I saw the five enter the door, I cried. Sobbing and choking, he said, "I didn't take care of you." If you don't like to eat or drink, you will be angry. But you're too ruthless. No matter how bad it is, aren't we also relatives? Who is left in that family? Don't look at the family business when the sedan car at the gate is constantly flowing, who still recognizes this family when it falls? If we don't kiss, who else? After a few words, the five noses were also sour, and he whispered: "Grandma! "It doesn't matter this one, the old lady is crying again!" Ouch, don't break my life. If you want to feel sorry for my loneliness, don't leave today. I wash people's clothes and do needlework, how can I earn food and drink for two people! When you are a family, I will serve you two. If you have a child, I'll show you the child, as long as you don't think I'm cheap! What's called whatever. ”

The five promised to come down. Ziyun happily chanted the Buddha and said, "You just stay, you love to read and read, and you can play if you like." As long as you don't leave, I have a backbone. You sit, I'll clean the house for you! ”

Ziyun cleaned up the house where the old Chinese medicine doctor lived, and asked him to come over and take a look, and if there was anything unsatisfactory, he would pick it up again. On May Day, there was only one bed, a table, and a chair in the room, but it was clean. There are also two rosewood bookshelves in the outroom, which are stacked with thread-bound books. He flipped through it casually, except for some "Lingshu Sutra" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", that is, a few "Notes on the Four Books" and "Tang Poetry Tailoring". Ziyun said, "Everything else has been sold, and the old man has been sent." There were only these two shelves of books left, and several of his apprentices stopped them from selling, saying that if they wanted to sell them, they would buy them, so that they could play drums cheaply and not worth it. When they said this, I pondered that there might be a valuable book, so I said that I would wait until you came. If you want to sell, you have to wait for you. You choose, leave whatever you want, give them what you don't want, the old man is dying, a few apprentices have contributed a lot after running before and after, I have nothing to repay others, this is also a personal favor. ”

The five generous men said, "Tell them to take the books away and leave them on the shelves." ”

From this day on, Ziyun had a little smile on his face. She turned out all the clothes of the five. What should be washed, what should be pulped, the collar should be mended, the buttons should be decorated, and it should be neatly tidied up. I gave him a few dimes with a little money to spare, and asked him to rent novels at the bookstall at the door to read, and the five rented a few copies of "Twelve Money Darts". I don't think it can be so cheap, this old boy. On this day, he said that he was going to see a friend and asked Grandma Yun for money to take the car. Ziyun gave him all the two yuan he had just received, and said, "It's good to go out for a walk, so you don't have to be depressed and sick!" But remember, don't mess with those gambles, we are famous people! ”

After a series of coarse tea and light rice, the oil on the intestines was scraped dry. When I went out, I went to the corner of Dongsi and drank a bowl of fried liver. I went to Longfu Temple again and ate a bowl of sheep double intestines. Only then did I take the tram to the entrance of Zhuhai City. When he came to the drunken bed, as soon as the curtain was lifted, the fasting master hurriedly greeted him with his shoes. Holding hands and asking, "Yo, you're rich, why can't you ask around and ask about your whereabouts?" The five said, "With your copy of "Carp Dart", can I not get rich?" almost called Wu Cunzhong to discount the backbone! The lord said, "This also blames you, how can any of the manuscripts you bought go out without moving?" If you change the words of Xingyimen and Bagua Gate, what kind of Yandang faction and sword sect will be fine? Needless to say, there is a fortune waiting for you to get it! The five said, "Don't take me away!" The Lord said, "Believe it or not, sit down for a while, and I'll come when I go." The lord of the fasting held the five stea, poured a cup of tea, and went out of the door, listening to the footsteps and going upstairs. After a meal, he led in a person as he spoke: "Don't you always want to meet that young master?" I happened to be at the hut today! Let me introduce you, this is the boss of Jia Fenglou! ”

The five recognized it as the middle-aged man who had pointed him to the door the day before. Hurriedly stood up and nodded: "We've met!" ”

"Isn't it? That day, I saw that you were outstanding! Just look at you! If I'm not afraid of your anger, I love you so much somehow in my heart! If you can talk to you face to face, you will not be a person in vain in this life......"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, you're too polite!"

"This is the truth that comes out of the heart! Later, when I inquired, you dared to be the young master of the adult's house! I almost want to slap myself in the mouth: such a noble person, how dare a pariah like me dare to climb to the ground? ”

The lord interjected: "That young master is civilized and never takes a big one!" ”

"Yes! My neighbor can be introduced again and again, saying that you don't put on a shelf, the most open! I'll just say, you're here again, no matter what, go down and sit down for a while, and let's get to know each other. ”

The five said, "You are too loving! I'm just a little light on my ancestors, but I'm not successful, sit down! ”

Jia Fenglou smiled and said to the lord: "I think please sit over there." ”

The lord said to Nawu: "As soon as I mentioned that you were here just now, Boss Jia sent someone to order food, but it was disrespectful, so you can move!" ”

The five excuses said, "Is this appropriate for the first meeting?" So, let's go up to Zhengyang Tower, I'm in for a treat! ”

"It's not a face, is it?" Jia Fenglou said, "My sister also wants to see you, why don't you ask her to persuade you to drive?" ”

So the lord took the five arms and put them on the shelf, and the three of them went upstairs.

Jia Fenglou lives in four rooms upstairs, one each for him and his adopted sister, and two for the living room. Feng Lou let the five into the north living room. On the walls hang enlarged photos of Feng Kui in casual clothes and photos of performances. The frame is inlaid with articles cut out of newspapers for Feng Kui. On the Bogu shelf is an octagonal drum with big red tassels. There is a three-string hanging on the side. The red lacquer desk is covered with lattice lacquer cloth, and a few copies of "Liyan Pictorial", "369 Pictorial" and Baowentang's drum lyrics and drama exams are placed. On the coffee table is a Columbia brand chatter with a loudspeaker. Only then did the five know that the brothers and sisters of the Jia family were artistic. After sitting down, the lord of the fast introduced: "That young master specializes in listening to Beijing Ping Opera, and is not very involved in the world of calligraphy and music, you have time to listen to it, Miss Fengkui's single-string brand song is an authentic Rong school, and the color and art are both good!" ”

The five bows and said, "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely be taught." ”

Feng Lou said: "Then how can the young master have the time to reward our faces?" The work of the housekeeper is too vulgar and has a dirty ear sound. ”

"That's a kind word!" The lord of the fasting said seriously, "Feng Kui is not only artistic, but also the most affectionate and conscientious. I often say that the master of the horn wants to meet the Feng girl, which is the creation of cultivation. ”

The five thoughts: Don't put on a circle. My dad is the best at holding the big drum, I don't have the heart or the strength!

At this time, as soon as the curtain was lifted, Jia Fengkui came in.

Jia Fengkui didn't put on grease powder today, only lightly lit some lipstick, looking much younger than the first time they met, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Wearing a half-sleeved horizontal cheongsam, white satin embroidered loafers, his hair was loosely tucked behind his ears, jammed with a large pearl-colored hair piece, and a white orchid was inserted in his sideburns. She smiled, holding her thighs with both hands without humility or arrogance, and squatted slightly towards the five-one.

"It's late to greet you, young master, bear with me, please have a snack in that house."

Jia Fenglou let the five go to another living room next door, and a few roasted dishes, a pot of liquor, and a pot of flower carvings had been placed on the table.

Between drinking, it's nothing more than saying something flattering to those five. The five or so cups fell into the stomach, and the shelf was put down. began to talk funny things to Jia Fengkui. Feng Kui neither accepted the ballast, nor did she have a straight face, as if she was an outsider. Sometimes listen to them and laugh, sometimes they wander and think about their own thoughts.

After the meal, Jia Fenglou moved the guests to another living room. The main Zhai said that he was in a hurry and slipped away first. Feng Kui wanted to clean up the remnants of the table and say goodbye. The five were about to leave, Jia Fenglou grabbed him and said, "I have something to ask for, and I haven't talked about it yet, how can you go?" ”

The five had to sit down again.

After Jia Fenglou let go of a cup of tea, he said to Na Wu: "Now that I have a fortune, I can take it out of my hand, but there is less work, and I want to borrow the young master to give some blessings." ”

Those five know that "measuring work" means being a helper. He asked, "What is it?" ”

"There is a nouveau riche young master who is taking money to cut down his sister these days. We are not selling our bodies! ”

The five said, "Honorable, honorable." ”

Jia Fenglou said: "Having said that, there is no gentleman, no artist." People can't play with him, but he has to take out the money. They hoarded Juqi, and the money was not easy to come by, so why should he save it? ”

The fifth said: "There is such a saying, but how can he be so untouchable and willing to spend money?" ”

Jia Fenglou said: "I have to come out with another rich man, and he also holds his sister, and he is willing to take money to compare flowers with him!" He loves his sister and wants face, and he is not afraid that he will not come out at the bottom. The money has been spent and he has not overwhelmed the opponent, so I am not afraid that he will not be ashamed to retreat! ”

The five said, "I understand." You are asking me to compare with him and throw money at Ling Mei! ”

"Go, go, go!"

Na Wuyi smiled and said mockingly: "This idea is excellent, I also have a love for Ling Mei, but unfortunately Ruan Nang is shy." ”

Jia Fenglou said: "Where do you want to go? We are friends, how can we talk about life? Can I ask you for help or break the bank? If you get it, I'm going to thank you! ”

Only then did the five become solemn and asked energetically: "You tell me about the door here." Xie Yi, I don't expect it, but I will not hesitate to stick a knife in my ribs for my friends! ”

Jia Fenglou said: "With this sentence, the matter is half done. From Ming'er, you go to Tianqiao Qingyin Tea House every day to listen to things. When you get there, someone will give you a hand towel for you on a fruit plate, and you don't have to be polite. After the housegirl comes on stage, when you hear someone ordering, you will also order. He orders a paragraph and you also order a paragraph, and he rewards ten dollars, but you can't reward ten dollars, at least fifteen, and twenty more! ”

The five said, "Don't you pay on the spot?" ”

Jia Fenglou said: "Of course you have to pay it out, but don't worry, I will ask someone to send you the money secretly when the time comes." How much I give, how much you reward, don't keep yourself, don't let the middle of the tea room take the lead! When the work is over, our two friends will meet in the private seat upstairs, and the supper is mine. My brother is settling accounts, and Xie Yi is also correct! ”

The five said excitedly, "Okay! Okay! ”

"But ......," Jia Fenglou groaned, lowered his voice and said, "You know this matter, and you must not disclose it." Also, you'll have to change the leaves! ”

"What do you call a leaf?"

"It's a change of clothes. You look like a young master. Young masters, don't look at the loose hands, but the bottom is not thick, and you can't control people. Because the money is in his hands. The flowers are too rushed, and it makes people suspicious. You have to pretend to be your own family, property and business. ”

"Okay!" The five smiled and said, "Pretending to be poor doesn't look like it." Being a big guy is our true nature! ”

"Why don't I look at you at first glance?"

Before leaving, Jia Fenglou stuffed a red paper bag into the five hands and said, "You have to spend some money to tip when you enter the tea house." You can use this to supplement it. ”

The five politely excused themselves. Jia Fenglou said: "Pro-pro, wealth is wealth, I can't ask you to break the bank!" ”
