Chapter 13 The Shopkeeper
Du Chonghua poured a cup of tea for Yun Qian, but Yun Qian was not polite, took the cup and drank it all, and then took out the purple jade pendant and handed it to her.
Du Chonghua saw the jade pendant and hurriedly pushed it back, his face was angry: "Oh, little nephew, it's not right for you to do this, this is given to you by your uncle, although I like this jade pendant, I won't take it back." You want me to be scolded by your uncle. ”
Seeing that she didn't accept it, Yun Qian leaned over and put the jade pendant on the tea table, and arched his hand: "The younger generation has the cheekiness to accept this heavy gift, and the aunt wants to take it back, so it is natural." But just say it clearly, why let Brother Shu design a trap that almost killed me. I don't think Uncle Lu Shi knows, and I don't want to disturb his old man's state of mind, so this matter will be stopped. The younger generation only waited for the end of their studies, and then immediately returned home, and never took any more from the family. Now I am honest, I really don't want to make another turmoil, I hope my aunt and Du Gongzi understand. ”
Du Chonghua was covered by Yun Qian's head and face for a 'discussion', and also talked about his husband and younger brother, and was annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about, when did I let Chongshan harm you, my Lu family was kind enough to teach you to raise you, and in the end I let you come to humiliate and abuse!" I don't know where you have been wronged, don't go to the old lady to be angry, when the time comes, I will provoke the old lady and drive you out of Lushou City. ”
Yun Qian felt that it would be in vain to continue talking, so he bowed and bowed: "The junior doesn't know if my aunt is pretending to be confused or really doesn't know, but that's all I say, this matter will be over." After saying that, he slammed the door and walked out.
Du Chonghua scolded: "You dare to slam the door of the old lady, you really think you are a distinguished guest of our family, and you actually slander my younger brother......" Afraid that Yun Qian would not hear it after leaving, she chased into the yard again, pointed to Yun Qian's house and scolded the heavens and the earth, which intensified, and the word Feng had no scruples.
After Yun Qian entered the house, he was really upset when he heard that she was unrelenting, so he glared at Du Chonghua when he went out of the house, and ran away from the pawnshop. Dou Ping, who had been following him, couldn't stop him, couldn't persuade him, and came out, and scooped a bowl of rice porridge from the kitchen when he left.
On the street, a sloppy boy walked in front, followed by a man serving porridge, and passers-by secretly discussed whether a good person from a family wanted to force a good deed.
Yun Qian walked around, and unconsciously arrived at Taichi, so he simply lay on the side to relieve the boredom in his heart. Dou Ping also sat down with the porridge, and when he saw that he didn't want to speak, he quipped: "If you don't drink it later, I see that you are quite angry." ”
Yun Qian looked at the bean comment, took the porridge bowl and took a sip, and then sulked. The cold porridge entered the lungs, the dryness gradually subsided, Yun Qian handed the bowl to Dou Ping: "I don't want to serve a bowl anymore." ”
Dou Ping was so angry that he scratched his head: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Yun Qian raised his head and sighed, sorted out his thoughts, and said meaningfully: "I may have met an immortal." ”
Dou Ping frowned: "Sick." ”
……
In the main hall of Junxing pawnshop, Chaofeng looked at the situation, quietly asked people to invite the shopkeeper, and sent someone to follow Yun Qian and the others. But the shopkeeper came back for a long time, and when he saw that Du Chonghua had already scolded him on the street, he immediately shouted: "Chonghua, what are you doing, go back quickly." ”
When Du Chonghua saw his husband, he cried out: "The master, you can judge me, your nephew, slander our family in front of the big guy." ”
The shopkeeper Lu's face was pale, and his teeth were clenched: "I'll let you in." ”
Du Chonghua had never seen her husband's angry appearance, and she was timid for a while, crying and wiping her tears, and walked into the backyard in a slump. The shopkeeper asked Chao Feng trembling all over: "Where did Xiao Qian go?" ”
Chao Feng hurriedly replied: "It's still by the Tai Pond, and Xiaodouzi is following." As he spoke, he walked around the cabinet and took out a food box in his hand.
The shopkeeper took the food box and said a word of hard work, and rushed straight to Taichi.
……
Next to the shore of Tai Pond
Yun Qian told Dou Ping about the experience, but the part about the jade pendant, Xiang pendant and Prism was deliberately concealed. Dou Ping listened to it with great enthusiasm, and when he posted it to Yun Qian, he lowered his voice and asked him: "Have you obtained a secret book of divine skills, or a secret weapon of treasures?" ”
After talking with Dou Ping for a long time, Yun Qian's mood was already much better, and he shook his head regretfully: "Really no, later my hero may think that I have extraordinary qualifications and instructed me how to meditate, but it was too painful and I couldn't persevere." ”
Dou Ping pointed out with a kind of angry posture: "What a great opportunity, how did you waste it." If you learn a trick and a half, you can come back and teach me, who will dare to bully our family in the future. Really, say you're good. Then he sighed and ignored Yun Qian.
While the two were teasing, the shopkeeper Lu hurried to Taichi, and because of his slightly fat body, he was a little panting at this time. Standing in the distance and waiting for his breath to calm down, he walked over: "Xiaoqian, are you hungry?" ”
After hearing this, the two immediately bowed, and Yun Qian was even more solemn: "Uncle Lu Shi, the younger generation is at fault, Brother Fang Cai said that I was too reckless, my words and deeds were inappropriate, and I was about to make amends to you." ”
The shopkeeper looked calm, said hard work to Dou Ping, and told him to go back first. Pulling Yun Qian to sit down again: "Can you tell me what's going on?" ”
Yun Qian no longer ridiculed like Dou Ping, and talked in detail about this experience, the tragic death of the coachman, being tied to the mountain, the matter of evil cultivation, the heroic sword immortal, and so on. But when he told the story, he said that the reason for the robbery was that the money was exposed, and the mountain bandits made a temporary move.
The shopkeeper listened to Yun Qian's words, and comforted him: "Let you suffer, just come back." Hungry or not, eat something first, it was originally prepared for you and Dou Ping, let's eat first. ”
This detailed description has been starlight, but back to the cliff garden is brightly lit, and Taichi also has some gabion lighting, and it does not feel dark, but it has a different scene. The shopkeeper took care of Yun Qian's meal, and said carefully: "Although your aunt is greedy for money and takes advantage of some advantages, it is all because of the downfall of Uncle Shi back then, and she has cultivated the habit of scavenging waste and thrift a little bit, and her heart is not bad, so don't be angry with your aunt." ”
Yun Qian looked at Uncle Shi's soft gaze, and was ashamed in his heart: "Uncle Shi, this matter is reckless on the part of the juniors, which has made you and your aunt sad, and the juniors just want to learn from you, and they don't think about anything else." ”
The shopkeeper nodded silently, and took some more food.
After eating hastily, the shopkeeper Lu took Yun Qian back to the pawnshop, and asked people to choose some bruise medicine and apply it to him. Then he called Dou Ping to the study and asked him to tell in detail what he had heard and seen today, and compared with Yun Qian's story, he raised some questions.
After that, the shopkeeper walked back to the bedroom. When Du Chonghua saw his husband coming back, he hurriedly picked up the jade pendant and walked over: "Boss, don't be angry, it's just that he slandered me when he came up, and he forced the jade pendant to me, so he didn't suppress his anger." ”
The shopkeeper Lu took the jade pendant, took her hand and sat down: "Chonghua, you and I have been husband and wife for many years, and we know each other very well, so there is no need to explain more." It's just that my brother and sister-in-law entrusted Xiaoqian to teach me, but now I almost lost my life, and I am out of responsibility. ”
Du Chonghua said reluctantly: "The head of the house, he is a child, I don't know where he was wronged, so he panicked and was kidnapped by mountain bandits, and I haven't seen mountain bandits in this Lushou City for a long time." ”
Shopkeeper Lu shook his head: "Xiao Qian doesn't have those scheming thoughts yet. But since this has happened, tomorrow I will notify the car dealer, go to find the way together, and then hire some neat hands and feet to go to the mountains to investigate. But before that, I want to hear you again, what exactly did he talk to you about? ”
Du Chonghua listened cautiously, so he started to talk from the beginning of Yunqian, but as soon as he said: Why let Chongshan Pit harm him, he was suddenly shocked, and the whole person was stunned like a wooden chicken, and his palms were sweaty.
The shopkeeper didn't move: "What did you think of?" ”
The more Du Chonghua thought about it, the more panicked he became, and grabbed his husband's hand: "Do you really believe that child's words?" ”
The shopkeeper explained calmly: "You don't believe him, but you still believe in my ability to see people." I will definitely find out the reason for this matter, and if you insist on concealing it, I can only report it to the government for verification. ”
Du Chonghua hurriedly shook her husband's hand: "Don't, don't report to the government, you can't involve Chongshan, otherwise he won't be able to come back." ”
Looking at his wife, the shopkeeper suppressed his liver fire: "Xiaoqian, this child, told me and Xiaodouzi that his money was exposed, and he was targeted by mountain bandits, and he didn't mention him Du Chongshan." When I came back, people came to you first to return the jade pendant, which was all taking into account the harmony of my Lu family and thinking about calming things down. However, you scolded you, and then you went to the street to publicize everyone. In this matter, my Lu family wants to give him an explanation. ”
Du Chonghua was anxious: "Husband, I'll go and admit my mistake to him now, it's not okay, you must not hand over Chongshan to the government again, I beg you." ”
The shopkeeper Lu's eyes suddenly became fierce: "If you don't teach him a lesson this time, you may not be able to guarantee it next time." After saying that, he returned to the study angrily.
……
The next day, the sky was bright, and Yun Qian woke up late because he was physically and mentally tired for a few days. I turned over and found that the two stones I had hidden yesterday were still in my clothes, so I lazily threw them aside, and lay silently on the bed thinking about the experience of a few days. It wasn't until I felt that the roof was a little depressed that I began to get up and wash, ready to go to Uncle Lu Shi to sell the leave.
When he entered the study, the shopkeeper Lu was looking at the calligraphy and painting, and when he noticed Yun Qian's arrival, he said with concern: "Are you feeling better, after breakfast, Dou Ping will take you to the hospital to have a look, so as not to leave hidden dangers." ”
Yun Qian replied respectfully: "Thank you Uncle Shi, I'm fine, don't bother Brother Dou anymore." I'm here to sell you a fake. ”
"Oh, no, it's half a moon anyway. I wrote a letter to your parents last night, afraid that they would be worried, but only said that you had a cold and delayed your trip, and you will be back in a few days. I also hired a carriage and a horse, and arranged a handle to send you back together. When the time comes, you can tell your family in detail. The shopkeeper said calmly.
Yun Qian felt that every time he talked to Uncle Lu Shi, his mood would be much lighter, so he nodded and responded: "Thank you Uncle Shi for your understanding, the junior contradicted his aunt yesterday and wanted to make amends first." ”
The shopkeeper laughed: "You, you, you are obviously wronged, and you have to take care of other people's faces." Your aunt is fine, she went back to her hometown this morning, and she may stay for a while. ”
Dou Ping came to the door to report the incident: "The shopkeeper, a person surnamed Lu came over and said that the matter was done and asked us to take the money." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Yun Qian, and raised his voice to Dou Ping: "Let him come for a trip." ”
Dou Ping left in response, and after a while, he led a powerful fat man in. Seeing the shopkeeper Lu, the fat man said in a rude voice: "Boss Lu, the matter is done, two legs." But your brother-in-law stabbed me, so he spared a few more ribs, don't take it to heart. ”
The shopkeeper didn't pay attention to him, but instructed Dou Ping: "Take him to the account room and give him ten taels of silver." ”
The fat man hugged his fists: "It is said that Boss Lu is benevolent and righteous, and he knows how to take care of our poor people, I will take it this time, and I will be used in the future, you will command it directly." ”
