Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 19 Siniang Stays in a Hundred Households
Yang Dayi suddenly "plopped" to his knees, kowtowed, and said:
"If I hadn't gotten lost here, I would have almost done a ghost! Brother Li is a noble person, careless in this life and this life to repay! ”
"Hey, why not!" Li Dan smiled and hugged him to get up.
Yang Dayi didn't think about it, but Li Dan couldn't kneel with his arms, he was surprised in his heart, his body had already stood up involuntarily, and he couldn't help but praise: "Brother Dan is so strong!" ”
"Hey, you don't know wow? San Lang is a famous 'little yuanba' in our county, and he is born with divine powers! Su Siniang smiled and said:
"Don't say it's you, it's the few heavenly kings at the gate of the temple, I don't think that's it.
Last year, there was a bull on Wazi Street who stubbornly refused to enter the bull market and injured two teeth. It was Dan Ge'er who used to subdue it by breaking the horns of the ox, and I saw it with my own eyes! ”
"Being with the lady at that time can also be proven!"
Han An smiled and took his mother's words, she glanced at her, and quickly retracted her heart and asked, "Now that you know that there is something wrong with this letter, San Lang, do you want to seal it as it is?" ”
Li Dan looked at Yang Dayi and said, "I don't think I need it, right?" Could it be that Brother Yang will still jump into that trap? ”
"This unfed wolf, I saved him twice before the battle!" Yang Dayi was angry: "No, San Lang, you borrow a horse, I have to go back to him to settle accounts!" ”
Everyone was frightened and hurriedly persuaded one after another, only Han An and Li Dan sat and did not move. Su Siniang got up, looked back at her and sat down again.
"Don't make any noise, listen to Saburo!" Yang Yi shouted.
"Brother Yang, everyone advises you, what you say makes sense."
Only then did Li Dan speak: "According to the little brother, this is not a question of whether you can beat thousands of troops or not, and whether it is worth giving your life to such a villain." ”
"Saburo is right! Brother Yang, why bother to give your life for such birdmen? ”
"Yes, my brother has this ability, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to turn over in the future?"
Everyone was gossiping, and at this time Siniang also said: "Yang Baihu, listen to the slave."
My husband has also been wronged by others, but as Li Sanlang said, it is not wise to use a good body to fight with others!
People say that it is not too late for the eldest husband to take revenge for ten years, why should my brother fight hard because of a moment of anger? ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Dan: "I think, Brother Yang in Guangxi will definitely not be able to go, so it is better to hide quietly here."
The slave family can't do anything else, and there is still confidence in hiding his brother in the market.
San Lang rest assured, let Yang Baihu live in my store first.
Besides, it will take time for your jujube horse to adapt to the soil and water. As for the future, let's figure it out slowly. What are you two looking at? ”
Sure enough, it was a talented lady who was impressive, and Li Dan looked at Han An. In the past, he consulted with him about calligraphy and painting skills, and treated each other with courtesy.
I didn't think that his lady was quite wise and strategic, and her speech was clear.
To be sure, Han An himself is not a corrupt Confucian, and he did not change his face when he heard his wife talk about tolerating the outlaws.
Well, this guy is very useful!
"I think it can!" Li Dan waved his hand: "Brother Yang, you don't have any worries, there are brothers to take care of, just rest assured first."
Xiao Yi, Gu Da, and Hongsheng are all fond of fists, feet, guns and sticks, and to outsiders, we will say that they are the head coaches invited from the North. No one can fault it, can it? ”
"Yes, yes! That's it! The others replied in unison.
"This, will this cause trouble for the brothers?" Yang Baihu asked unexpectedly.
"Brother Yang, isn't your word 'trouble' too common?" General Gu slapped and pushed:
"Our brothers are headed by Saburo, and what they do is the four words 'chivalrous and benevolent'. Seeing that the road is uneven and helps, why is it troublesome? ”
"yes." Yang Yi knew that Yang Dayi was an official who calmed down the hundred households (six products), and he didn't dare to pat him on the shoulder anymore, and called him in a proper manner:
"Chief Yang doesn't have to care, besides, Jun taught me fists, feet, guns and sticks, which is also a friendship between master and apprentice, shouldn't you do this for you?"
Yang Dayi couldn't cry or laugh: "Xiaoyi, why do you suddenly call me 'sir'?" but it makes people numb. ”
Everyone laughed, and in the laughter, Yang Dayi took out the waist card and threw it on the table:
"Come on, let's go, even if I've been blind to the wrong person and taken the wrong path in the past few years, I will have the opportunity to start all over again in the future. You wait for this Rausch to change money for food and wine, and I don't want it either! ”
"Brother differences." Li Dan came over and picked up the waist card and stuffed it back into his hand: "Although my brother has already seen it, but this thing is useless, so it's better to keep it first." ”
After speaking, Li Dan turned his face and instructed Li Biao:
"Lao Qi (Li Biao is the seventh in his generation), you have to pay attention to the horse market these days, if anyone inquires about the whereabouts of this horse and Brother Yang, you need to tell Gu Da or me immediately.
At the same time, keep an eye on the man, and see where he goes and where he stays. Remember? ”
"San Lang is worried that the general sent someone to find him?" Han An asked.
"Exactly. If he wants Brother Yang to be black, he must want to know the result, maybe there will be someone behind Brother Yang who will find him, and we will prevent him from looking for traces.
It is better if they can't find it everywhere, and go back to report that Brother Yang is missing or killed by the lake bandits, or that the general can really rest assured. ”
Han An nodded approvingly: "San Lang is careful, it should be like this!" Li Biao listened to this matter and responded to it.
"There's another matter," Yang Da said, pointing to the burden: "The surnamed Luo told me how to deal with these things I brought?" ”
"What are they?"
"Two silver tickets, two or three hundred taels each, as well as three calligraphy and paintings, two books, and three ancient bibliographies."
At this time, Yang Dayi didn't care, so he simply opened the burden and spread it on the table for everyone to see. Li Dan invited Han An to step forward.
Han An was most interested in calligraphy and painting, which was unfolded with the help of everyone, he looked carefully at them one by one with his hands behind his back, nodded and said:
"This "Picture of Clouds and Mountains and Streams" is a work of the late Southern Song Dynasty and can be regarded as a good product.
There is also a "Traveling Wild Asking Directions" is painted by the hermit Ni Yuanlin of the previous dynasty, but unfortunately the inscription poem added later is very general, and the whole painting can only be regarded as second-rate.
The remaining two fans that were cooperated by the new science and technology scholars in the seventh year of the Taizu Dynasty to celebrate the birthday of their teacher Huang Zhu, the rhetoric is algae, and the gorgeousness is full of flattery and sycophancy, and it is even more ordinary. ”
After saying that, he picked up the two books and flipped through them, but he didn't seem to like them very much, and shook his head and put them aside. Pick up a few pieces of ancient jade and take a look:
"Well, these pieces should be from the early Han Dynasty, simple and dignified, with rough lines, not as smooth and round as after Guangwu, but there is a sense of magnolia."
After speaking, he turned his head and saw Li Dan flipping through the two books with interest: "What, San Lang likes to read?" Also, foreign scenery is interesting. ”
Li Dan has these two books in his hand, one is "Western Scenery" and the other is "The Preaching of Jehovah".
The former describes the customs, architectural features and specialties of Western countries.
The latter is actually a chapter version of the Bible, but with a few chapters added at the end of the story of how the monk Ansai and others traveled to the East at Jehovah's notice.
"What do you think of these things, sir?" Putting down the book in his hand, Li Dan asked Han An with a smile.
"It is conceivable that they are all grabbed and put into the baggage, and there are no gold and silver jewelry, nor too many bills, deeds, etc." Han An glanced at these things:
"If you sell it on the market, the books are not worth much, and it is estimated that the calligraphy, paintings, and ancient bi can be exchanged for six or seven hundred taels, plus the silver tickets, and the total value of the things in this burden is not more than one thousand taels.
Hehe, for a thousand taels specially sent someone from Shanxi to Guangxi? That general is very calculating!
can save a burden to coax people to take this errand, and lose a few things halfway without being too distressed. Yang Dayi blushed again when he heard it.
"I think so," Li Dan thought about making a decision:
"These calligraphy and paintings, ancient bi are not good to do in Yu Gan. Please try to take it to Raozhou or Nanchang to handle it, and don't let people follow the trail to find here.
I want two books. The two hundred taels of silver ticket Mr. and hold it. ”
"Eh, how can this be?" Su Siniang hurriedly pushed her husband, meaning to ask him to dodge.
Li Dan waved his hand: "Siniang, don't worry, listen to me." That jujube has to be fostered in your house first, and it costs a lot. There is also Brother Yang's room and board.
In addition, his weapons should also be repaired, and the brothers who learned from him also needed to repair some equipment. Therefore you shall collect the two hundred taels first, and calculate the cost of these expenses.
The other three hundred taels are of two uses, one is to buy a manor outside the city, and the brothers and Brother Yang learn to use guns and sticks, which is always very inconvenient in the city, and it is much better outside the city.
Sooner or later, the jujube will have to be put outside, and it's not a matter of keeping it in your backyard.
Then there is the rest to build an account to manage, and the brothers who have urgent needs and difficulties can withdraw from above, or they can release them to earn interest. How is it? "Look at the crowd.
These were all brought by Yang Dayi, and he first said: "Listen to San Lang's arrangement!" Others didn't have much of an opinion.
It's just that Han An remembered it and asked again: "What to do with the money from the sale of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques?" ”
"That's what Brother Yang deserves, he has the final say." Li Dan replied with a smile.
"You have all arranged food and lodging properly, what do I want a few hundred taels of silver for?" Yang waved carelessly.
"Didn't my brother keep two brothers and sisters in his hometown? When the limelight passes, you can find an opportunity to bring some to help. Yang Yi said.
"That's not going to take so much, it's too much to show, and I'm worried that it's not good for them."
"In that case, it's better for the younger brother to help you get an idea." Li Dan turned his head to Han An and said:
"I think that the money and the remaining silver taels after buying the manor will be handed over to the copper operator to take care of, what does Mr. think?"
The copper operator's name is Zhang Cymbal, and his brother is the "Thin King Kong" Zhang Cymbal who was previously broken by Zhao San in Chunxiang Building.
Zhang's family is to open a money shop and put accounts, there is a three-foot long face on the counter, the frame, the beam, the file, the beads are all made of copper abacus, heavy and strong, only Zhang Cheng made, so the people in the county call him "copper operator".
"It's inconvenient for San Lang to find him directly, so I'll talk about it." Han An nodded.
"It's not good for you to go, or I'll go!" Su Siniang took the initiative to say. No one who put the account was willing to touch it, and if he took the initiative to post it up, he was stared at by the tolerance eyeliner.
Siniang is a woman's family, and this street knows that she is enthusiastic and has good delivery skills, so there are many women who come and go with her, and are willing to make a good fate, so that when there is something at home, you can ask for help in time.
Li Dan and Han An glanced at each other and said with a smile: "That's good, Siniang's bookkeeping is both safe and quick." Then bother Siniang to go back to his house and say. ”
Su Siniang felt that she was very proud of being praised by San Lang, and responded happily.
Everyone was glad to see that the matter had been resolved. So I added a stool, added dishes and chopsticks, and drank a few dishes again.
Suddenly, a guy came up in a panic and muttered a few words in Liu Hongsheng's ear. Liu Erteng stood up and asked, "Where are the people?" ”
"Back to the second master, it's at the counter at the entrance of the store."
