Chapter 90: A Mess
Fu Bo shook his head: "He gave one to the shopkeeper Huang next to him, and one to Li Huichun, the shopkeeper Liao bought one the day before yesterday, and Liu Jiabao also bought one yesterday in the face of the proprietress, this ...... Hey......"
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "The handwriting is really good, but it's a pity that it's too expensive, I can consider ten cents." ”
"Stop! When you said this, the owner had to die of anger when he heard it. Fauber reproached.
"Dare to ask if there are calligraphy and paintings for sale here?" A middle-aged man in a gray shirt entered the store and asked.
Fauber was slightly stunned and pointed to the words on the wall: "Yes, this one, one ...... A tael of silver. ”
"Here, shopkeeper's dot." The man heroically handed over a bulging money bag.
Fauber counted it carefully, smiled and took off the scroll: "You take it." ”
"Gone."
"Slow down!"
I was dumbfounded: "Is this a sale?" ”
Fauber was also confused: "Yes, it was sold so easily?" ”
"It seems that this is a meeting with someone who really likes calligraphy and painting."
Fu Bo smiled bitterly: "I see, eighty percent of the proprietress is distressed, afraid that the owner will be hit, so she will spend money to hire someone to buy it." ”
When I thought about it, too, the man didn't look like he was a hobby of calligraphy and painting, and he didn't even look at the painting when he came into the store, and he didn't even pay the price.
"Hey, the Mu Dong family hasn't been in charge of this inn before, and this is a different owner, how can it feel even more unreliable." Fauber sighed as he flipped through his ledger.
I had some doubts in my heart, so I said: "Fu Bo, our new owner seems to be quite familiar with Xiao Mu, and he actually called Xiao Mu by his name just now." ”
Fauber said: "They seemed to know each other before. The proprietress said that our owner was still a rich family in Chang'an, and Xiao Mu went to Chang'an to catch the exam and often went to his house for dinner. I guess we can be considered friends. However, now that Xiao Mu has become a chincha, it is best not to mention what happened to him back then, so don't reveal their relationship to the outside world. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. ”
I nodded: "Don't worry, I'm very tight-mouthed." ”
"That's good."
……
After being busy, there were not many goods left, so I sent them to the refugees outside the county office, and also went to visit Lao Meng, and had dinner at his house by the way.
"Hurry up, Dr. Li, hurry!"
As soon as I bought a few catties of rice and soybeans, I heard someone shouting on the street, and when I looked at it, it turned out to be two fast catchers, one carrying a medicine box, and the other person stretched out his hand to pull Li Huichun while running, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Someone asked.
"It seems to be from the Assassin's Mansion, I heard that Qin Cha's illness has flare up again."
"Chin Cha is sick? What disease? ”
"I don't know what the specific illness is, but I heard that I have been sick for more than half a month, sometimes good and sometimes bad. This hurriedly passed on Dr. Li, I'm afraid it's serious again. ”
The two people around him asked and answered, and they spoke loudly, which sounded a little familiar. I took a closer look, and it turned out to be Lu Yi and Lin Yuanfeng, who Song Erlang brought to me to build a house before.
Aren't the two of them members of Liu Jiabao's team? We also had a drink together. I smiled at them, and they looked at me, but ignored me.
Chincha and I have just been separated for less than an hour, and he is sick again? They also said that he was sick and never got better?
Hehe, I'm afraid these two are making a show again. Task?
"Hey, it looks like it's almost the end of the year, I hope the Bodhisattva will bless Chin Cha and get better soon." Lu Yi clasped his hands together and made a gesture towards the sky.
"yes, yes. Qincha is the backbone of our Xiangzhou, so there can't be any mistakes. Lin Yuanfeng also agreed.
I knew that there must be Lin Sheng or Yang Mosheng's subordinates nearby, so I didn't dare to talk, nor did I dare to stay longer, so I bought good things and left quickly.
Back home, A-Niang and Wang Jiajia were making female red around the brazier. I've always been confused, aren't they tired of it? How can there be so much embroidery all day?
"The rivers and lakes are back."
"Brother Jianghu, come over and roast the fire."
The two moved to the side.
"Brother Jianghu, I embroidered a pair of insoles for you, look, is it good-looking?" Wang Jiajia said, handing me the newly embroidered insole.
"Beautiful." I looked at the flowers on it, it was indeed beautiful, but it felt a bit wasted, such a beautiful thing stepped on the feet, and I couldn't see it, and after a few days, it didn't stink of sweat?
"You try it!"
I smiled: "It's a little reluctant." ”
"Hehe, you stinky boy." A-Niang looked at us kindly, and rubbed the needle in her hand in her hair: "You said how good you two are now." I discussed with Wang Fatzi, and when the New Year turns, I will choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and take care of things for the two of you. ”
"Mother......" Wang Jiajia was shy, said coquettishly, pulled A-Niang's sleeve, and turned her head away embarrassedly.
I also think it's too sudden, although I have a lot of good feelings for Wang Jiajia, but ...... When I think of starting a family right away, it seems that I don't have a bottom in my heart. I'm selling tofu now, barely making ends meet, and once the two get married, if they give birth to another child......
"A-Niang, I also think it's too fast, can't you let us get more familiar with it?" I spoke my heart.
"Familiar?" A-Niang looked at me in surprise: "Did you just meet?" Many people in the family are the words of the matchmaker of their parents, and the two have never met, aren't they also living well? ”
"Auntie, I used to treat Jiajia as my sister, and I didn't think about it at all, you have to give me time to slowly change the relationship." I begged.
"Yes, mother. I'm not in a hurry, everything is up to Brother Jianghu. Wang Jiajia smiled at me and followed suit.
"You, you depend on him for everything." A-Niang pointed at Wang Jiajia's forehead with her finger, and smiled helplessly: "You are not in a hurry, then I don't care, people have said it, too worried, old fast, when you come to beg me, let's talk about it." ”
"Thank you, mother."
"Hehe, it's still my aunt who is the best."
"Okay, you two, the flesh is numb."
"Hehehe......"
All three of us burst out laughing. Suddenly, I felt like I was the happiest person in the world.
"What's so happy?" Yang Mosheng entered the house and smiled at us.
"Brother Yang is back." Wang Jiajia got up to greet him.
"Brother Yang came back early enough today."
"Oh, Brother Li, the eldest mother and sister Wang are also at home. It's too cold these days, and there are few people who come to buy wine, so the owner is kind, so we let us leave work early. Yang Mosheng said and sat down beside me.
"You talk, I'll go pack the loads." I smiled at them, got up and went out, poured the rice into the rice bowl, sifted the soybeans that were to be ground tomorrow morning, soaked them in water, and went to the yard to wash the wooden box containing the tofu and wait for the house.
"Brother Li, do you want me to help?" Yang Mosheng asked, and without waiting for me to answer, he threw the bucket into the well, fetched a bucket of water and poured it into the large wooden basin, and then disassembled the wooden box and brushed it.
"I'll just come, it's too cold, you can go into the house and bake the fire." I said.
"It's okay, it's hot when you start doing things." Yang Mosheng smiled: "Brother Li, actually, I really envy you. ”
I was stunned: "Envy me? Hehe, what do I have to envy you? One poor and two white. ”
"You have a home of your own, a loving mother, a lover who loves you wholeheartedly, and a craft that earns money...... These are not enviable! ”
I think there is some sadness in Yang Mosheng's words, if I didn't know that he was meticulous, I really have to comfort him. But if he wants to talk to me at this moment, how can I ignore it?
So I patted him on the shoulder: "You are not worthy of my envy." I also rely on a craft to eat, but you are different, you are a scholar. Although for the time being, he is just condescending to a thousand cups of non-drunk restaurant as a bookkeeper, but maybe one day, he will have the opportunity to show his talents, get the appreciation of the Qincha, give you an official title, and then rise to the top...... When the time comes, I won't be able to reach it. ”
"Hey, how can there be such a lucky thing. Somewhere will the Chin Cha notice me? Yang Mosheng shook his head and sighed: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Qin Cha is sick, and he has been sick for more than half a month intermittently, and I don't know what the disease is." ”
Sure enough, after going around for a long time, I started to inquire about the news again!
While brushing the wooden barrel, I replied calmly: "I heard someone say it on the street just now, and I saw two officials hurriedly pulling Li Huichun to see a doctor. The people said that Qin Cha was too tired and became ill from hard work, hey, I hope he can recover soon! Isn't that Li Huichun a closed disciple of Doctor Du? His medical skills are still good. ”
"Well, that is. I just hope that Chin Cha is okay. Yang Mosheng echoed, and then asked, "How is your business lately?" It's cold, are there many people who come out to eat bean curd? ”
I nodded: "It's okay, there are fewer people in the snow, if it doesn't snow, there are still many people coming out, eating a bowl of bean curd is warm and the price is not expensive." The Shaodong family on the opposite side was afraid that he was deliberately stealing business with the Jianghu Inn, so he gave me some money, so that all the things I couldn't sell were sent to the county government to help the poor. Anyway, I don't lose every day now, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less. ”
"Hehe, you're content. The young owner of the Yuelai restaurant is also clever, just spend a little money, and he will steadily earn enough reputation, I heard people praise his kindness in the wine shop last time, and some people rushed to this and went to his restaurant to cheer. ”
"Yes, rich people can become famous as long as they spend a little money, which is like us, they can only earn some hard-earned money silently."
"Hey, you went to the county government to deliver tofu and bean curd, but you haven't met the Xu County Order?"
"Uh...... I met it once, but most of the time it was Master Lin who was in charge of the soup kitchen. ”
Yang Mosheng leaned closer to me: "Then didn't you take the opportunity to talk to him?" ”
I replied: "Master Lin is very talkative, he likes to ask me some parents, he is quite easy-going, and there is no official arrogance at all. ”
Yang Mosheng became interested: "Then can you take me with you next time you send tofu?" Give me a chance, I want to have a few words with Master Lin to see if I can fight along his line. ”
"That's no problem, I'll wait for you at noon tomorrow."
I replied cheerfully, already in a mess. Xiao Mu, you don't show me the way, what should I do? This Yang Mosheng, what is he planning? Didn't he know Lin Sheng? Why do you need my referral?
