Chapter 749: The Love of the Embroidered Building
Since the West Street pawnshop case, Phnom Penh Glasses has set a rule: in the future, as long as there is a theft accident, the two security guards will be held accountable, and at worst, they will be dismissed on the grounds of dereliction of duty. The two security guards also put forward rationalization suggestions: there is a penalty, but also a reward, and how much the reward should be for not committing a theft for a year or two years or more. The gold-rimmed glasses took off the glasses and wiped them with a soft cloth while thinking, and after a while of muttering, he said that it would be okay! Okay! The big man glanced at the big man with a long face, and said to the gold-rimmed glasses that he wanted to sign a contract.
In this way, the gold-rimmed glasses brought them to the room, spread out the rice paper, and wrote the contents of the contract on it, and if there was no theft here within three years, they would be awarded 3,000 yuan each. The big man said with a long face, no, the time has been extended, and it will be difficult for you to come up with that much money at one time, so let's set it for a year. The gold-rimmed glasses felt that this made sense, so they evened out the ink, changed it on it, and then signed each other.
The gold-rimmed glasses were old-fashioned, and finally took out the red clay and pressed the handprints on the three contracts one by one. The big man's long face and the big man's round face also put their handprints on them one by one, and then each took a copy. They were all very cautious, and the big man with a long face put this contract in a wooden cabinet under the attic bedroom of the pawn shop, and locked it, which should be very safe. The big man with a round face also lives in the attic, and there is also a wooden cabinet for storing things, and he keeps it down, but keeps the contract in his underwear, so that he is constantly reminded of a responsibility that must be fulfilled.
At night, when the lights went out, the two of them discussed the contract and the invisibility suit, and the big man made a bet with a long face: There will be no such strange thing in the future, stealing in the stealth suit, others can't see you, you can see others.
Not necessarily. The big man with a round face said that we must be vigilant, otherwise we will not be able to afford if something goes wrong. The big man said with a long face, I got the contract today, and I went to the street to find a hexagram master to calculate a hexagram for me, saying that there can never be that kind of secret thing again, but you have to be careful that the contract is lost.
The big man with a round face has always believed in the words of the hexagram master, and forced him to ask, what else did the hexagram master say? The big man with a long face reminded him that he should keep that contract carefully, it is not safe for you to put it on your body now, and once you change your clothes, it is easy to lose them or be washed away by the water that washes them.
Where is the safest place to put it? He asked the big man with a long face, and only replied to him: Put it where you think it is safe. He thought of his girlfriend Bao Quan, thinking that boys are not as meticulous as girls, and after going back, he handed over this contract to Bao Quan and asked her to read it carefully, and after that, she said, Yuan Fang, I will help you keep it.
Bao Quan is a commoner's daughter, although the family is not very wealthy, but her parents value her very much, and do not send her anywhere to be a maid or maid, but let her paint flowers in a simple embroidery building.
How did Yuan Fang know her? It was a shy fate. One morning in mid-spring, Yuan Fang passed by the door of Baoquan's house surrounded by green mountains, and was in a hurry, so he went around to the back of the house, and rashly broke into the latrine, but found that a young woman was relieving, and the parts that should not be exposed jumped into his eyes, and saw that the woman's cheeks were floating red clouds, and he hurriedly withdrew. For some time after that, he was so anxious to see the woman that she had been working on the wooden building and rarely came out. Once when he went out of the building by chance, Yuan Fang looked at her and smiled innocently, and left very satisfied. After a while, I remembered the scene when the woman's cheeks suddenly flushed and she retreated into the wooden building.
After that, he told an uncle who was a little educated about missing the woman, and asked the uncle to give an idea of how to get close to the woman. The uncle wrote a few words on a piece of paper on his behalf, folded it into a projectile shape, and asked him to bring a slingshot gun to the window of the wooden building, and bounced towards the window with a "whew", but the paper ball was bounced back by the window railing, Yuan was so angry that he frowned, picked up the paper ball from the grass and was about to play it again, but found that the woman came out of the door of the building, leaned against the building railing and asked with a red face: This brother, what are you going to do?
Yuan Fang was illiterate, but he pretended to be literate, unfolded the paper ball, and said to her: Since I met you that time, I have missed you very much, and I hope to marry you even more. That's what is written on this piece of paper, I wanted to go upstairs and deliver this letter to you personally, but I was afraid of offending my sister, so I used a slingshot to bounce, but I didn't expect it...... Since my sister has come out, I'll say it directly, and I don't know if my sister laughs at my brother's straightforwardness?
The woman squirmed her red lips and stopped talking, but she still mustered up the courage to say, since you let my brother see the original body, I had to let the raw rice be cooked into rice, since you have the heart to marry me, you should ask the media to say goodbye.
Yuan Fang was very happy when he heard it, and they exchanged their surnames and names, the woman's name was Bao Quan, she was eighteen years old, young and beautiful. Yuan Fang is in the middle of a weak crown, which just matches. At this moment, he actually ran upstairs and gave Bao Quan the note that clearly expressed his love as a token. The two of them were about to negotiate a conversation, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from the front of the house, although Yuan Fang was simple, his hearing was keen, he gave Bao Quan a goodbye look, and then went downstairs and fled.
After going back, he really asked the matchmaker to come to kiss, but Bao Quan's father disagreed, thinking that Yuan Fang's family was too poor, unless Yuan let go of the dowry of 5,000 hanging money. Yuan Fang's father couldn't take out all the family wealth for his son, and Yuan Fang was so angry that his body trembled. At this time, the West Street pawnshop in a small town at the foot of Wudang Mountain was recruiting security guards, and Yuan Fang was hired because of his tall stature. Before being hired, he asked the matchmaker to go to Bao Quan's house, and he also quietly arrived at Bao Quan's wooden building. She said brother, you go to the bamboo garden behind the house and wait, I will come later, because in this attic may be bumped into by my parents at any time, so many are not good, this matter has not been settled with my parents at all. Yuan Fang looked at her affectionately and said, my sister has to count when she speaks, don't let me wait there stupidly for a long time. Then Yuan Fang tiptoed downstairs.
Bao Quan put down a roll of colored thread that was putting up a knitted purse for Yuan, and recalled that when he saw Yuan Fang for the second time and was about to talk to him, a sound of footsteps "scared" him away, and the footsteps came at an inopportune time. It was the mother who came, and the mother told her with a smile on her face that the rich man of Hujiawan near Hujiawan asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to the young master, if he said that he agreed, he could pay 5,000 hanging money as a dowry, and the male should be married, and the female should be married.
Mother-Bao Quan pinched the note in her ruddy and slender hand, but thought about Yuan Fang, who had just walked not far, and said with some embarrassment, you have to let the child think about it. Mother was unhappy, stared at Bao Quan and said in a bad voice: It is your good luck that people look up to you, don't miss this good fate. When her mother saw that she was holding something in her hand, she asked what it was. Bao Quan didn't say anything, his mouth was hesitant, and his mother said with a straight face: Your in-laws and parents are in charge, and this family matter will be decided from today onwards.
Mom, no. Bao Quan shook off the note in his hand, knelt down in front of his mother on one knee and blushed to tell the reason for the note, and said in an accentuated tone: Since the child let Yuan Fang's brother see the original body, it was the will of heaven, so he had to marry him. The mother asked for the note, looked at it, but was illiterate, so she asked what was written, and Bao Quan memorized the words and stated it. When her mother heard this, she was very conflicted, saying that she couldn't make the decision on this matter, and she had to ask Bao Quan's father for advice.
After the father knew the situation from his mother's words, he was very annoyed, and there was no better way to save his daughter's heart, and after Wanyan took away the matchmaker, he reprimanded his daughter harshly, and when he said that he was not convinced by his daughter, he said that he wanted to understand the descendant named Yuan Fang clearly. Three conditions were also proposed: first, Yuan Fang's retainer could not be less than that of Hu Cai's family; Second, Yuan Fang must settle the affairs of Young Master Hu, and besides, Rich Master Hu is not easy to mess with; 3. Yuan Fang must have a beautiful house to marry.
Bao Quan is a thoughtful girl, she threw an almost begging look at her father, saying that the three articles proposed by her father were too harsh for Yuan Fang's brother, the first and third were all vanity, and she could work hard in this aspect, but she couldn't use it to hinder her daughter's in-laws; The second is to deliberately make trouble for Brother Yuan Fang, it should be said that Young Master Hu has no reason to trouble us, in case he is looking for trouble, isn't it okay to sue the official?
What are you pouting for? The father was so angry that he stamped his feet and said that his daughter would have to listen to him. The mother interjected: The daughter's words are not unreasonable, Bao Quan's father, you have to think about it. In the end, the father shook his hand and said that the first condition must be met, and the other two conditions will not be considered for the time being. Bao Quan was secretly happy, thinking that Yuan Fang would have the ability to get a 5,000 hanging money and a dowry.
At this time, Bao Quan was about to go downstairs to the bamboo forest in the back room to have a private meeting with Yuan, but her mother came over happily and said: There is another matchmaker who will tell you about kissing, go and meet it! Bao Quan was upset and said you tell the matchmaker to go, Mom, didn't I tell you that there is already someone in my daughter's heart. Mother smiled: You should like the matchmaker who came this time, she claimed to be the one who was invited by Yuan Fang.
Is it? Mom, don't offend this matchmaker. Bao Quan remembered Yuan Fang, who was waiting for him in the bamboo garden, so he said: I don't see the matchmaker for the time being, she approached her mother and whispered: Brother Yuan Fang is in the bamboo garden behind the house, I will go to meet your son-in-law. Mother also lowered her voice: "You have to bring him to me to see."
Shhhhhh Bao Quan gestured as she spoke, and her mother nodded her head and said I will do your father's work. She then returned to the front room. Bao Quan seemed to be panicked, and after a little makeup, she walked towards the bamboo forest behind the house, and she felt like a rabbit was "poofing".
When I came to the bamboo forest, I looked for a few back and forth, but I didn't see Yuan Fang, and the birds were chirping and she was not in the mood to take care of it, if she usually learned a few bird calls. Now she was in a hurry, and quietly called Yuan Fang's name, but there was only an echo of the breeze, no one's response. She was suspicious, and when she was walking back, she heard a "flutter" sound, she turned her head in surprise, but was hugged by a pair of thick arms, and then the person didn't allow her to struggle, so she got up and turned around, and she recognized that the person who carried out the attack was Yuan Fang, who she was looking for.
She said, you Yin Knife Ghost, why are you playing hide and seek with me? Yuan Fang put down Bao Quan and raised his face with a smile, pointed to a few thick nan bamboos and said: At first, I picked up a nan bamboo behind your wooden building, and waited for you while listening to you talk to your mother.
Oh! Did you hear what my mom and I said?
Of course. Yuan Fang said mysteriously: I'm about to become a private detective.
Don't tremble. Bao Quan took a step back, but Yuan Fang pulled her together and snuggled her in his arms and asked: What am I trembling about? Doesn't I just want to marry you? Did your mom and dad agree? Bao Quan said that this matter is still a little difficult.
What is the difficulty? Yuan Fang hugged her and shook her heavily.
Bao Quan talked about the three conditions put forward by her father, and when she saw that Yuan Fang was so anxious that she touched the back of her head and didn't speak for a long time, she said again: I pushed back two of the three conditions, and only one condition was saved.
What conditions? Yuan Fang looked into her eyes and asked.
It is a 5,000 hanging money bride price. Bao Quan replied with his eyes closed. Yuan Fang let go of Bao Quan and said: I think I can work hard to do it. I will immediately go to a pawn shop in a town at the foot of Wudang Mountain to work as a security guard, and I expect to earn back 5,000 hanging money, you wait!
