Chapter 286: The Princess Arrives
"Four cylinders!"
"Bump—"
"Hey, don't worry, I'm confused."
As soon as the mother-in-law threw out a four-cylinder card, Song Che pushed down his hand and slipped from beginning to end:
"All the same, right paste, four taels or three dollars per family, and then I wiped the change for you, a total of twelve taels, give the money, right?"
Idle to nothing, today to play mahjong.
Song Che, Shen E, Liu Xiang'er, mother-in-law, four people gathered at a table. Three women played a play, but they didn't win a single play.
After a few laps, Song Che's eyes were full of broken silver, there was no way, one was good luck, the second was excellent technology, and the third was good fortune.
"Husband, you've been fighting for so long, get up and do activities, let our dad do it for you, right?" Shen Wenjun, who was watching from the sidelines, winked at Song Che vigorously.
Song Che glanced at the three women at the same table, with a straight face, knowing that he couldn't win anymore, he hammered his waist, "When Mrs. Jing said this, my waist is really a little sore,"
He stretched his waist, moved his buttocks, and didn't forget to pocket the handful of broken silver, "Hehe, mother, sister-in-law, you play slowly." ”
"Let's go."
Shen Wenjun dragged Song Che out of the hall.
Since it is a holiday, it is time to eat, drink and have fun, play cards at home during the day, listen to music at night, and cruise by the canal.
The taste of the New Year in Daliang begins three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and thousands of households are lit up with lights, and at night they are red and vibrant.
"On the contrary, I have nothing to do, and I feel like an idler."
Shen Wenjun rested his face, lying next to the hot spring bucket, his feet splashing leisurely.
Song Che ordered someone to build a stove on the side wall, set up a large iron pot, boiled hot water all the time, and then chiseled a small hole in the wall, just enough for the bamboo pipe to penetrate in, and then built a two-zhang long large bath barrel in the side room separated by a wall.
Using the "siphon phenomenon" caused by the air pressure drop, the hot water in the iron pot outside the wall is sucked into the bath barrel, and a bamboo pipe of the same displacement is connected to the bath barrel, and the water is filled while the water is discharged to keep the water in the bath barrel at a constant temperature, and then a few pieces of sulfur are put in to activate the blood, so that an "artificial hot spring pool" is born.
"Hey, by the way, if you really think this holiday is boring, after the New Year's sacrifice, how about we go to Luoyang to see 'Luo Chao'?" Song Che proposed.
The Mid-Autumn Festival night "Luo Chao" is so popular, the Lantern Festival must be good, by the way, the world's money will be spread to the capital.
mentioned Luo Chao, Song Che couldn't help but think of Lin Yue, remembering that when she left Luoyang before, she chased after her and said that when the prince returned to Beijing, she would come to Suzhou to find herself, but it had been almost half a year, and she had not been seen yet. Could it be that the prince has not returned to Beijing yet, or has she forgotten about it?
When I thought of Lin Nuxia, I couldn't help but think of Ning Nuxia, how are they doing now? This is about to be the New Year, the children of the rivers and lakes should be very lonely, right?
Look at the bath in front of you, don't say three women, even seven or eight women can fit it.
"Okay, I like to kick the bow, but the bones are too hard, and I can't live this technical work, but I'm a good shuttlecock kicker."
Shen Wenjun readily agreed.
"But I think your body is very weak."
Song Che hugged his wife's slender waist, wanting to be affectionate in the water, and suddenly,
"Jingle Bell ......"
The "phone" rang.
"Always interrupt when people are interested."
Song Che grabbed the earpiece next to the bath and put it on his ear, and listened to the voice from the other end:
"Sir, a man named Xu Dutou is looking for you...... Complete. ”
"Got it."
"Sir, you forgot to say it, it's over."
Damn, this little girl learns pretty fast.
"It's over, it's over, it's over."
Song Che hung up the earpiece and smiled bitterly at Shen Wenjun: "It seems that I have to go out." ”
Shen Wenjun followed out of the bath, took a towel and clothes, waited for his man to dress, and said: "It's already afternoon, this errand person, every time I look for you, there may not be anything good." ”
Song Che smiled: "I'm afraid it's not just him looking for it." ”
Shen Wenjun squeezed the corners of his mouth, "If it is He Qiu, it will not be a good thing, now all the merchants in Suzhou City are afraid of him." ”
"How?"
"Boss Cao, who went back to the East Market to open a bad shop, was taken to the government because he was two days late to pay taxes, and he was beaten with forty boards, and he was almost sixty years old, but fortunately his body was tough enough, otherwise he would have to be beaten to death in the court, do you say he is a poisonous snake."
"If you pay taxes one day later, you will be able to pay one day less tax next month, Boss Cao thought that his cleverness could deceive He Qiu, but he didn't know that this official was much more shrewd than him."
"In short, you don't have to be too accommodating to him, it's a fool to do thankless things during the New Year."
Put on your clothes and Song Che left the house.
There was a very simple carriage parked outside the house, Xu Xiao sat on the wheel as a coachman, and when he saw Song Che going out, he pointed to the carriage and gestured twice, signaling to hurry up and get on the car.
Song Che entered the carriage with a smile.
He Qiu had a straight face and was impatient, "What are you doing?" Why does it take so long for the ink to come out? ”
After the blame was finished, he rushed outside the car and urged: "Xu Dutou, speed up." ”
Xu Xiao responded, "Bang!" "Two spurs in a row, and quickly drove to the west of the city.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't done two wheeled carriages for a long time, it's too bumpy, and the experience is too bad."
Song Che grabbed the windowsill to make his body sit firmly, and said: "You are in such a hurry to find me, and you are in such a hurry to leave, it is difficult for people to think that it is a good thing." ”
He Qiu said coldly: "Could it be that if I come to you, it will definitely be a bad thing?" ”
Song Che said: "It's not necessarily bad, but it's definitely troublesome. ”
"Then you are just wrong, this time is not a bad thing, it is not a troublesome thing, but a great good thing."
He Qiu asked Song Che with a smile: "You are so smart, you might as well guess what's going on?"
"I can really guess," Song Che asked, "is there a big man coming to Suzhou?"
A hint of surprise flashed in He Qiu's eyes, and he was arrogant and did not allow such an expression, and said in a low voice: "How did you guess?" ”
Song Che patted the bumpy carriage and said, "On weekdays, Lord He claims to be the first person in Suzhou, but today he changed to an ordinary car and hurried to the dock, isn't it obvious that a big man is coming?" ”
He Qiu sighed: "Then you might as well guess again, why do I want to pull you all the way?" ”
Song Che said: "You are so sure that this is a good thing - I am a businessman, and the best thing for a businessman is to get rich." So this big man who came from afar is here to patronize my business, right? ”
The corners of He Qiu's mouth curled slightly, and he spit out lightly: "Don't thank me." ”
It's so smelly and beautiful, who the fuck wants to thank you!
Song Che rolled his eyes in his heart and asked, "What kind of big man is it?" ”
He Qiu slowly spit out four words:
"The princess has arrived."
