Chapter 44: You See My Performance (Two Chapters in One)
Wang Li was listening to what had happened, and his lungs almost exploded.
The more he thought about this trip to the county, the more unlucky he felt.
First of all, it was raised by Tao Shide (Zhixian) from the son of a bitch, and he took another 3,000 taels of silver from him, and now Liu Laozhu's dog thing dared to find bad luck for him.
"Go to Chaling Restaurant."
"Huh? Brother, you wait for me. ”
Wang Li was looking at his cousin, and he thought it was so embarrassing, "You go to the narrow alley and call Liu Laozhu to me." ”
"Yes, brother, I'll go and bring it to him!"
……
The Liu family.
Liu Laozhu was not at his younger brother's house in the town as his youngest son thought, but at the eldest brother's house in the county.
It's not that they have a "greasy" situation, go to the town to study it, and the result of the discussion is: yes, you can't rely on blocking.
If you rely on the blockage and don't let Zhao Zhutou recruit this and that when recruiting his subordinates, it will be easy to press the gourd and scoop. simply asked Wang Lizheng, who had a strong relationship with the county magistrate, and asked Wang Lizheng to help, and ordered Zhao Dashan to be recruited from the source, so that he could save worry.
In this way, it happened that Wang Li was about to come to the county, so they all followed them into the city, hoping to get the letter as soon as possible.
Right now, other Lizheng is probably staying in an inn and waiting for news.
The inn is expensive, Liu Laozhu is reluctant, it just so happens that his eldest brother's family lives in the county, so he came to his eldest brother's house with his daughter-in-law and missed his father and mother very much.
At this time, the old man Liu had a cold on his knees, and he was lying on the kang and said to his second son:
"In the past few years, the harvest in the field has not been good, and the people in the village must have a worse life. Like paying taxes and grains, you almost turn a blind eye and let them keep more japonica rice and fine noodles for coarse grains to fill their stomachs. ”
"Dad, how old are you, don't worry about it. You don't know anything about this, if I don't meet the requirements for collecting food, the official will scold me. ”
He had been scolded before, and he was scolded by the grain collectors like his third grandson, and all the towns and towns in the county were looking at him, and he was ashamed that even the house for the night was the worst. I didn't see anyone in the village thanking him.
"Can you be scolded for a short piece of meat? The worse the year, the more you can protect no one in the village from starving to death, and that is called true merit. It stands to reason that you are in your fifties, and I shouldn't care about you anymore, but you have that problem, and you always focus on looking at some false things, what's the use? How can you scratch it up if you're doing well? ”
Old man Liu has seen through it, Li Zheng is at the top, and the ancestors of the old Liu family have no official orders for generations.
If one day his grandchildren really become an official, he would not be at ease to die.
Because it's like ours, if you want a background and no background, no one will protect you when something happens.
If you don't have a brain, you can't recognize all the words.
If you want him to say, even if he goes bankrupt and gives gifts, he finally sneaks into the county government and sits on a chair, he can understand what is written on the document, and he can carefully taste the meaning of the representatives of the personnel transfer above. One day, let people frame me again, and come to punish the nine clans.
So Mr. Liu is very content now, with three sons and two sons-in-law, as long as the family can eat enough.
"Don't always think about letting the people in the village thank you, you just wonder why Lao Li chose you in the first place? He suffered the loss of not being able to read and write, and almost took the whole village to be deceived. That's when I thought, even if you know how to read, you're half a slice of mush, the short man pulls out the general, and you are young to let you be the right. Isn't it just that you can protect everyone when the year is bad? You always want something to thank you. ”
Lao Lizheng was that person, and Old Man Liu was excited when he mentioned it.
That is the great-grandson of the generation who fled the famine and occupied Erdaohe Village.
Old man Liu thinks that a few generations from Laoli is the one who has a little thought in his heart, no wonder he can crawl over from the pile of dead people. It is also the courage to pay to make the village better and better. Otherwise, if there is something to do with his second son, Lao Li is passing it on to his younger brother.
Liu Laozhu was annoyed to death, and he always mentioned Lao Lizheng.
But his father's next words made his face change.
"Like that river, it is so fertile, and there are more fish in it. When Lao Li was in the middle of the year, he could fish by paying a fisherman's tax on a household basis. How did I get to you, I haven't figured it out all these years. I heard from your eldest brother that the post station he co-opened with others collected fish, and he still went to Wangjiagou to buy it. Zhuzi, I have something I have wanted to ask you for a long time, did you protect your eldest son, was it pinched by the surname Wang? ”
"Dad", Liu Laozhu hurriedly went to close the door.
Old Man Liu suddenly sighed and said, "Do you think your brother and brother, your two brothers-in-law, will not know that you are using means to protect your eldest son?" ”
"I ......"
"Don't worry, they don't blame you. After many years, I have already figured out that their household registration is not in Erdaohe, and you have the heart and power. ”
So this is also where the old man feels sorry not to go.
His Liu family is already the best family in the village, and when he was conscripted, even his eldest son's family died a child, and no one was hurt when he mentioned this. And it will only be more difficult for the people in the village to die if they can't afford to eat or drink.
That's it.
"Zhuzi, you want Jiang back for the people in the village, you send my old bones back, your father and I will go from house to house to compensate, talk about this, and no one will be able to control you in the future.
Don't worry, everyone can understand that you want to protect your son's heart, and they will do the same. After all, they are all mortals, no one is an immortal, no one is selfish, and you are not using someone else's son to top your own quota.
In short, our old Liu family just can't let the surnamed Wang lead the nose away, and the handle would rather be pinched by the people in our own village.
We can't use everyone's Jiang to hide our own affairs, that would be a big mistake. ”
Liu Laozhu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he made up his mind and said:
"Dad, then I'll be honest with you, just this time.
About Najiang, it's not just that, there are many things in it, I don't understand it, I don't want to understand what is going on, tell me, I cover my ears.
I'm old and young, and I'm afraid that I don't know what to do with my brain.
And how can I be so bad? Our ancestral grave is still in the village.
I'm afraid of the people in the village, two less people today and two less people tomorrow, and I don't know how to lose my head that day. We are just the dealers who can't break their thighs, I'm for their good, don't ask! ”
Old man Liu's heart is even more up and down, and the main thing is that this kid didn't understand anything to him.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Pepper looked at the two of them in surprise.
Liu Laozhu immediately pretended to talk to his daughter-in-law and hid.
Pepper turned to look into the room: "Are you arguing with your father?" ”
"No, what are you going to do?"
"I'm thinking about going to the street, buying some food for my father and mother, and buying a piece of food for my sister-in-law. On weekdays, it is not easy for my sister-in-law to serve my father, and you can see that my sister-in-law's hair is all white. But I don't have enough money in my pocket. ”
Liu Laozhu immediately took out the bag sewn in his sleeve, took out all the broken silver from the bag and instructed his wife: "Buy a piece of material for yourself, it's not easy to come to the city." ”
"I don't buy it, it's good enough to dress in the village, and it's a joke that there is no patch. Let's see if I can't buy it for Brother Jing, you all have to meet people......"
"Then buy it for the old man and the eldest daughter, and turn around and pass by the girl's village to send it, I don't want it."
But pepper went shopping, and in the end only bought some fine salt for his own family. Because of this fine salt, he was so distressed that he slapped his thigh: "Why is it sold for a hundred Wen, this is not much cheaper than our town, and it doesn't let people live." ”
And what she bought was not the best quality refined salt in the salt, and the refined salt cost 120 yuan.
Xiao Er said kindly: "It's raining heavily everywhere this year, and it's waterlogged everywhere to dry salt, not to mention that it is extremely expensive to transport it to our remote place." I advise you to buy it as soon as possible, and the price may increase again next month. ”
When Pepper was paying, he saw that the store was organizing manpower, and kept loading salt bags on the mule cart outside, and said with some pantothenic acid: "It's not that every household buys salt every year, so why should this family buy a car." ”
"Auntie, that's fishing salt."
Fishery salt, pepper understand.
The imperial court knew that it was difficult for the common people to pickle fish, and if the fish was not pickled, it would not stink, and the transportation time on the road was long, and the city that was not close to the sea or the river wanted to eat fish.
For this reason, among the types of salt, there is a kind of fishing salt of the worst quality mixed with red sand, which is only three pennies a catty.
"Alas, it would be nice if we could eat fishing salt directly, we countrymen can't wait to eat three bags of noodles before eating a pound of salt, I really can't afford to eat it, and I don't have the strength to eat salt."
It's a hard time.
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, don't mention that you don't have fish in your hand and don't let you buy fishing salt, just say that I know recently, I directly use fishing salt to cook and eat, and more than 30 people have died." ”
"I'll just say that, thank you, boy."
When the pepper and salt bags went out, I still thought in my heart that if the price really increased, I would tell the old sisters when I went back to the village that those who had extra money at home should not keep it.
She went out all the way to see that the money was useless, and it was better to exchange all the silver money for grain and salt and save it, so as not to have a price a month.
As a result, as soon as I looked up, I saw that Liu Laozhu was kicking Liu Laozhu in Kuandianzi Village across the street, just at the entrance of the restaurant, rolling several feet in a row.
and those Li Zheng, who talked and laughed all the way to the county, just like the monkey, all glared at her old man angrily at this time.
Pepper's tears came down, and she scolded as she ran: "What are you doing, you old things are crazy!" ”
Liu Laozhu didn't expect pepper to be on this street, didn't he go to buy fabrics?
His face was red, and he was embarrassed and anxious to stop Pepper and say, "Go home quickly." ”
"No, they are old and immortal, who are they kicking, they are all Lizheng, what is it to have more than anyone?"
Pepper snot and tears, I have to go up and tear Kuandianzi Village.
She never thought that her man would be bullied like this:
"The old man of my family is in his fifties, why do you want to roll a few feet, do you think that there is no one in my old Liu family, have you forgotten that my eldest brother is in this county. I'll go find the eldest brother, and you let a few of them wait for me! ”
What kind of big brother are you looking for, his eldest brother Liu Laozhu is just a county restaurant shopkeeper on the surface.
Privately partnered with others, secretly opened a post station on the road to Fucheng, and took that little share money or he, his brother, and his two brothers-in-law together, if you can't live in the broken house in the narrow alley, you will live for 20 years, and you really have a great ability to change the house early. In the past two years, he has been able to turn the fish upside down, and he is also helping the owner to make some trouble.
So Liu Laozhu was anxious, and thought in his heart: The people in the village look out at the people who go out, and everyone is awesome, but you don't know what's going on with pepper, the eldest brother doesn't have a thick foundation in our family, that is, a donkey dung egg has a light surface, what are you doing with him, he will lose his job again.
"Stop making a fuss, hurry home, we're having fun."
Pepper can believe this, there is a ghost.
She broke away with all her might, turned her head and was about to shout on the street, everyone come to comment, Li Zheng is beating Li Zheng, but I didn't expect to meet a ghost.
Pepper's first reaction was to scratch Wang Laoba's bandaged face: "You are wrapped like a little ghost, grandma has legs, who are you, why are you pulling me!" ”
This immediately turned Wang Laoba into a blood gourd, which made everyone on the street laugh, and also attracted many people to stop and ask questions.
Upstairs, Wang Lizheng was angry again.
I remembered that the county magistrate told me to grow my head in the future, and my daughter-in-law and aunt's cousin-in-law are currently working as staff members for the prefect, and I also sent someone to bring him a message when I came to the county seat this time, so that I could squint in the future, and don't do anything dazzling.
Because the imperial court wants to send a new general Zhenbei to this side, wait for them to find out the background of this new general, don't toss things wrong.
As a result, he just wanted to make other Li Zheng give Liu Laozhu a little embarrassment, but he didn't expect it to attract so many people to make a fuss.
Okay, you Liu Laozhu, I really don't agree with you.
Afraid that the crazy woman would continue to shout and make trouble, Wang Lizheng had to send someone down to pass the word to Kuandianzi Lizheng, so that he would admit that it was a joke and leave the scene quickly.
……
In a single room in the restaurant.
Wang Lizheng met Liu Laozhu alone.
He scraped the tea foam with the lid of the bowl, took a few sips slowly, and let Liu Laozhu sit on pins and needles before saying: "Before I came, you asked me to do something, and now I have finished it for you. ”
Liu Laozhu's heart was immediately relieved, and it was already done.
As for why he kicked him, it really doesn't matter, as long as he can keep his son and don't let him be kicked...... Isn't this just a parent, who dares to kill people for the sake of their children, alas, it makes the daughter-in-law feel a little troubled.
Which man doesn't want to be a great father when he goes home, he is a powerful husband. When you go back, you have to coax your daughter-in-law well, and don't say anything when you go home.
In addition, he was also scolding Wang Lizheng in his heart: It seems that he only does things for me, those Lizheng, you didn't do it? What a king and eight calves to pretend.
But Liu Laozhu was very grateful, his buttocks only touched the side of the chair, and his eyes were red and said: "Brother Wang, it's strange that we follow your heart, you are really interesting to me, really, I don't know how to thank you." ”
"Oh, yes.
Now you Erdaohe Village is angry.
While I was not at home, I laid fishing nets, grabbed the river, and set fire to dozens of firewood stacks in my village, almost setting fire to my oil mill.
Kidnapping us people to ask for fish hurt more than 100 members of my Wang family.
I heard that I still let go, and if I can't get the paperwork to catch fish every day after tomorrow, I will show it.
Liu Laozhu, let's not talk darkly......"
Liu Laozhu stood up suddenly, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he thought: Don't explain to me, hurriedly grabbed the words loudly:
"Brother Wang, I don't know anything outside.
Don't worry, I'll go back to the village to clean them up, let them fish out and bleed one by one, and send them back to your village without killing, just pickle them.
Dare to go against the sky, Brother Wang, you don't have to say anything, look at my performance! ”
As he spoke, the person had already rushed out, shouting that he couldn't come back.
