Chapter 88: The Eighty-Eighth Day of Becoming an Old Lady
In order not to divide the family, Hu Lao Er handed over the house and paid the salary, and he was not treated well by the old lady. Boss Hu regarded him as an enemy and sneered. How could Hu Lao Er be defeated?
Turned around and befriended Hu Laosan, learned the identity of Shanshi from him, and heard about Zhao Gongzi, and was even more glad that he did not break up.
But unlike others' ideas, Hu Laoer is more curious about how the old lady invented the rice transplanter? Although the old lady said that it was the drawings that Hu Laohan got back, if the Hu family had this drawing, why didn't they take it out before?
In addition, the old lady knew about his movements in the city, Hu Lao Er boldly guessed, I was afraid that the old lady had encountered some strange people, whether it was the rice transplanter or his house, it was told by strange people that the old lady was just a marionette, and there was something else behind it.
Hu Laoer, who realized this, began to start from the details, and was bound to find the strange person behind the old lady.
He stayed at home for three days in a row, and he didn't see where the strange man was. The old lady stays at home every day, and the most contact with outsiders is Shansang. And Shanshi is a member of the Yamen, so he doesn't look like a "strange person".
couldn't find it in Hu's house, and Hu Lao Er wanted to go into the city to look for it. The third said that the fourth carpenter's shop was opened on Huaihua Street, and he thought about it, it should be the house facing the street. It's hateful, he noticed it before, but he didn't expect that the person inside would be the fourth, and he never went in.
If he had gone in early and learned that the old lady had opened a carpenter shop for Hu Laosi, he would not have mentioned splitting up the family anyway.
Hu Lao Er wants to enter the city, and it just so happens that Shanshi is also going to enter the city. With the light of good charity, Hu Lao Er rode on a horse and returned to the city after a while.
"I'm going to 'Lubanxing' first, and then I'll send you back to the restaurant." Good charity came to the old lady's order, of course, you must first do the old lady's instructions.
Hu Lao Er hurriedly said that he didn't dare, he just walked back by himself.
Although he nominally became his sixth brother, Hu Lao Er knew in his heart that people and them were not on the same path. Good charity is more than majestic to him, but not enough kindness, and it is only better than to strangers.
"It's not in the way, it's just on the way."
Shanshi kicked off the horse's belly and went to "Lubanxing" first. Hu Lao Er was piggybacked, and he also went with him.
Shanshi came to "Lu Banxing" this time for cooperation, Zhao Yuan's order made people powerless, the old lady wanted to come and go, and it was the most worry-free to cooperate with "Lu Banxing". Last time, everyone talked about it, and this time Shanshi signed an agreement with Lu Banxing as a representative of the Hu family.
Wang Shimao showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Shanshi, and heard that he came on behalf of the Hu family, so he had to make offerings to Shanshi. Hu Lao Er saw everything in his eyes, and sighed in his heart that the Hu family is not what it used to be, "" Even the shopkeeper of "Lu Banxing" is courteous to the Hu family because of the Hu family, and the old lady's ability is beyond imagination.
Cooperation is simpler than imagined, Wang Shimao has been waiting for the Hu family to come to the door. After waiting for a long time, he agreed to all the requirements of the Hu family and signed the deed on the spot.
Hu Lao Er never knew that doing business was such a simple thing, or doing business with the famous "Luban Xing".
"This is just the beginning."
Shanshi's voice floated into Hu Laoer's ears, and he quickly adjusted his mood and bluntly said that he deeply admired the old lady. He was proud to have such a mother.
Shanshi glanced at him, didn't speak, Hu Lao Er hurriedly followed, he had a feeling that Shanshi deliberately brought him here today, just to let him know his shallowness.
The Hu family had already been reborn when he didn't know it, and he was still standing still, only looking at people with old ideas. Not to mention that Shanshi doesn't want to see him, Hu Lao Er can't wait to give himself a few slaps.
Out of "Lu Banxing", Shanshi really sent Hu Lao Er back to the restaurant. When he arrived at the restaurant, he directly found the shopkeeper, Hu Lao Er was not in front of him, I don't know what he said, anyway, after Shanshi left, the shopkeeper found him and told him that the future salary would be received by Shanshi.
Hu Laoer: "......"
He couldn't refute this, so he could only tell the shopkeeper secretly that Shanshi had become his younger brother. Shanshi didn't hide this, and the shopkeeper also took the initiative to say that for the sake of Shanshi's face, he would give him an extra salary of one or two silvers in the future.
Hu Lao Er was speechless, even if it was more than ten taels of silver, it didn't belong to him, it was better not to be more.
……
Hu Baozhu has been in a good mood recently, everything is good in the county, the Qin family treats her like a sister, and Hu Guangshen is also very close to her. The Qin family found a few families for her to look at, but they didn't look as good as Shanshi, and she always didn't like it.
Hu Baozhu is thinking about charity in his heart, and he can't avoid it like this. She wanted to see if there was a shop for caramel candy, steal a teacher or two, and go back to teach Shanshi.
A tall horse came from a distance, Hu Baozhu tiptoed to look at the caramel sold on the street, and suddenly her waist was light, and her money bag was snatched away.
Before the thief ran far, Hu Baozhu didn't care about the candy and shouted: "Little thief, stop!" She ran a few steps forward, and the newly bought Luo skirt almost tripped her, and she was in a hurry when she saw the thief enter the crowd.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
The money bag contained a tael of silver given to her by the Qin family, and before she could cover the heat, she was stolen and remembered, and Hu Baozhu was so frightened that she died.
The thief's speed was extremely fast, and he had run away almost instantly, and there was an alley in front of him, and as long as he entered the alley, it would be more difficult to find him again than to climb to the sky.
Seeing the thief turning into the alley, Hu Baozhu had already given up the money bag in his heart.
Suddenly, there was a horse roar.
The thief, who was still running vigorously just now, was kicked to the ground by the horse's hooves, "Oops! The thief still wanted to get up, and a long sword was pressed against his chest.
"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life."
The thief put the money bag on the ground and begged to spare him this time.
The crowd formed a circle, and the people who watched the excitement looked around. Hu Baozhu saw that the thief was intercepted, and hurriedly ran forward.
"My money bag!" She hurried forward and picked up the money bag on the ground. And when he counted the silver in it, it was a lot.
She looked up and thanked the man on the horse, and her eyes lit up.
"Thank you...... Good big brother! ”
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight.
Hu Baozhu's eyes turned into star eyes, and she felt that kindness was her salvation, and he was the person she had been looking for.
The thief who fell to the ground suddenly got up, pushed Hu Baozhu away, and fled.
Hu Baozhu was pushed and staggered, but fortunately was supported by the people behind him. Seonshi glanced behind her and rode after the thief.
Hu Baozhu's face was ruddy, and his eyes were full of joy. Looking at the man on the tall horse, a heart has been secretly promised.
"Miss Hu, are you okay?"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and the iconic "Miss Hu" title made Hu Baozhu recognize people without looking back.
"Zhang Yi?"
She looked back, and sure enough, it was him.
Zhang Yi, who stays at home all the year round, has whiter skin than ordinary people, his eyebrows are slightly sickly, but his body is very straight, and he looks very secure.
"Why are you here?"
Hu Baozhu stood up straight, curious.
It is really strange to see Zhang Yi in the county.
Zhang Yi's body is probably really not very good, and he has already covered his mouth and coughed lightly for a while.
"Ahem, go to the academy to do something." He smiled at Hu Baozhu, and his sick face could not hide his handsome face. Hu Baozhu regretted in his heart: It's a pity that he is a sick seedling.
As a student of the county academy, although Zhang Yi was unable to go to school due to physical reasons, he would go to the academy every once in a while to hand in his homework, and he happened to meet today.
Hu Baozhu was not interested in his homework, and was still worried about Shanshi's safety, so she pulled Zhang Yi's sleeve and pushed him away:
"I'm fine, let's go, let's go and help Big Brother Shan."
The thief seems to be a repeat offender, but don't hurt her good brother.
