Chapter 247: Old Scholars (Ask for Collection, Recommend)
Looking at the ruffian showing off the silver dollar that was generally shaking in front of him, Old Man Xie was moved, if it was really such a generous lord, the reward would definitely be a lot, Old Man Xie gritted his teeth and said: "Then I promised, when will it pass." ”
The ruffian said: "Now, that person lives in the Huimin Inn, and I will take you there." ”
When Old Man Xie heard this, his heart trembled: "Huimin Inn, that is the best inn in North Wind City, I have only been there a few times before, after the fall of the imperial court, I have never been there, hey, it is all the fault of the republic, let me wait to be down." ”
The revolution is both good and bad for the Chinese people, for some people it is a good opportunity to get ahead, and for some people it is to cut off their future and wealth, this is the case with the old man Xie, a person who has been abandoned by the times.
When Old Man Xie came to the Huimin Inn under the leadership of the ruffian, Qin Ba was already waiting for them at the door.
Qin Ba nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand to his subordinates, and said, "Okay, you go back first, don't run around, understand." ”
, the ruffian's subordinates said respectfully: "Boss, I understand. ”
Qin Ba couldn't deny it, turned his head to Old Man Xie and arched his hand: "Old Man Xie, I also know you, this time there is a big fortune, you can catch it, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, if you can't catch it, you can only blame yourself for not being good at learning." ”
Old man Xie's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked at Qin Ba and said, "Little brother, can you tell me what I need my help with." ”
Qin Ba shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, it's an uncle who needs you to do something, and I don't know what it is." ”
Old man Xie was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it, he just said in a deep voice: "That's it, then I'll wait." ”
Under the leadership of Qin Ba, Old Man Xie entered a small house behind the inn, which was the best house in the Huimin Inn, and it cost ten silver dollars a day.
Originally, the money Tang San brought from the deserted city had already been spent, but some time ago, he killed a large number of ghost clans alone and obtained a lot of ghost bones, and he took a few meritorious deeds in exchange for a large number of silver tickets, so he didn't have to worry about silver dollars for the time being.
Watching Qin Ba lead Old Man Xie into the room, Tang San got up and greeted him, "This old gentleman has your surname." ”
Old man Xie looked at Tang San, who was very angry, and said with a hint of respect: "Don't give your surname Xie, I don't know what Mr. is called." ”
"You can call me Mr. Three," Tang San said lightly.
Hearing this, Old Man Xie felt a pang in his heart, knowing that the other party was unwilling to reveal his name, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what Mr. Third needs Xiao Lao'er to do." ”
Tang San remained silent, took out a piece of paper prepared in the inn, and a pencil, and wrote down a large character on the "True Dragon Washing Marrow Sutra".
Putting the blank paper in front of Old Man Xie, Tang San said, "I don't know if Old Man Xie can recognize this word." ”
Old man Xie looked at it, nodded and said: "I recognize, this is the Great Yan Dynasty Xingshu before the Yong Dynasty, and there are some differences between the orthographic characters used in the Yong Dynasty, but I have also learned it." ”
Tang San nodded when he heard this: "Very good, since the old gentleman will, it's easy to say, the purpose of my coming this time is to translate some words, I need the help of an old pedant like Mr. Xie, after the matter is completed, a hundred silver dollars are enough for the old man to buy a few acres of thin fields, and the second half of his life can be regarded as settled, I don't know if the old man can be satisfied." ”
Old Man Xie was also overjoyed when he heard that Tang San had actually promised a hundred silver dollars, and at the same time, he also knew that the matter was extraordinary, if it was really done, he would have to keep his mouth shut in the future, and he couldn't say half a word.
Old man Xie arched his hand at Tang San and said: "I understand what Mr. San means, don't worry, I won't reveal half a word, it's half a person who has been cut into the ground, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace." ”
It's not for nothing that the old treacherous and cunning is cunning, the longer a person lives, the more he sees, the more truth he understands, and the more experience he has, Old Man Xie Mingrui noticed something and directly assured Tang San.
Tang San couldn't deny it: "It's good to understand, since ancient times, disasters have come from the mouth, since they are all smart people, I won't talk nonsense." ”
And at this time, two old men walked in, they were the same as Old Man Xie, they were all the same people or talents, and when they saw Old Man Xie, they were both stunned and said, "Hey, Old Man Xie, you are here too." ”
Old man Xie looked at the other two, and said in his heart: "Zhang Xiucai, Wu Juren, you are also here." ”
The three of them were all literati from North Wind City, and they all had contact with each other, so they naturally knew each other, Tang San said to Old Man Xie: "Please ask Old Mr. Xie to tell the two gentlemen about my mission, since you know each other, you can also communicate." ”
Zhang Xiucai, Wu Juren, under the explanation of Old Man Xie, knew that Tang San had something to help with them, and the reward was not small, which attracted the eyes of the two of them, after the fall of the Yong Dynasty, the life of these old scholars was not easy, not as good as before, sometimes a full meal was rare.
Now that someone is willing to pay to invite them, the three of them naturally have no opinion, they just heard Wu Juren come to Tang San and said politely: "Mr. San, we all understand what you mean, we are all willing to follow your work, I don't know when we can start." ”
As he spoke, Old Man Xie suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his stomach, which was particularly harsh in this quiet room.
Old man Xie didn't expect his stomach to be so unlucky, he actually made a grunting sound, his face turned red, and his face was embarrassed.
At this time, Tang San smiled slightly and said: "A few of them were invited by me so late, it seems that they haven't eaten yet, so let's do it tomorrow, let's have dinner first, and the food and drink for the past few days are all covered below, to ensure that a few people are full of food and drink, and then do work." ”
Zhang Xiucai, Wu Juren, and Old Man Xie looked at Tang San, their eyes were shining, and when they heard Tang San doing the east, the three of them couldn't help but see a table full of chicken, duck and fish, they hadn't eaten a decent meal for several years, except for being able to get some bacon to taste during the New Year, they might not even be able to eat meat at other times.
In the box on the second floor of the inn, Wu Juren, Zhang Xiucai, and Old Man Xie feasted on a table full of dishes, while Tang San and Qin Ba sat aside, each eating silently.
I only heard Wu Juren's face full of red light, and he said with a fried chicken leg in his mouth: "Mr. Three is really generous, I will do my best to complete Mr. Three's task." ”
Tang San raised his glass to Wu Juren and said, "Then it depends on you a lot." ”
The night passed in the midst of Wu Juren's three old scholars eating and drinking, calm and deep.
Late at night, the three of them were arranged by Tang San to live in the Huimin Inn, and he and Qin Ba came to their own small courtyard.
Sitting on the stone chair in the small courtyard, Tang San looked at Qin Ba and said, "Qin Ba, you don't seem to be doing well in this North Wind City. ”
