Zuo Ye and a group of his minions were eating and drinking in Hongxing Building, Hei San'er took a large elbow and put it into Zuo Ye's bowl, and Zhang Luo vigorously: "Zuo Ye, you eat, you eat!" ”

The shopkeeper of Hongxing Building stood respectfully on the side, bent his waist and asked, "Master Zuo, do you think it is still possible?" ”

Zuo Ye narrowed his eyes and ignored him: "Make do." ”

"You eat slowly, and I'll add a few more dishes to you." The shopkeeper of Hongxing Building was particularly attentive, and Chai He was impatient: "Don't be instigated, hurry up and bring up all the good dishes!" ”

"Yes, please wait." The shopkeeper of Hongxing Building retreated.

Chai He approached Zuo Ye: "Zuo Ye, our brothers have not been idle these days, and we have already inquired about things clearly." The little lady's name was Qiu Yue, who came from the south, and I heard that she used to be a kabuki, and she was ransomed by an official and moved to the capital. This official is afraid of the inside, he doesn't dare to marry Qiu Yue at home, so he has to get a foreign house, and he can't come often, he doesn't dare to make a noise in the officialdom about this matter, I think, if you insert a lever, I'm afraid the matter will not make a big fuss. ”

"Who is this official?" Zuo Ye asked.

"I heard that it's a left-handed waiter from the Criminal Department, named Yang Xianji."

Hei San'er also came over: "Then we have to ask, Lord Yang, who are you Qiuyue?" Is it your original wife, or Houna's concubine? Is Ming Media married? If not, then I'm sorry, our grandfather wants to marry this girl, isn't it illegal? ”

"That's it, Qiuyue doesn't have a mother-in-law, Zuo Ye, you want to marry her, who cares about this? Which lady does our Zuo Ye want to marry, is that to give her face......" Chai He and Hei San'er were chatting lively, and Zuo Ye waved his hand: "Stop, let's not mess with the officials of the Criminal Department, if you look back, it's really worth it, don't spoil our brothers' business for a little girl." As he spoke, Zuo Ye glanced at everyone present: "Brothers, what's wrong with the cashier?" Little Five, how did you collect it last month? ”

The minion named Xiao Wu stood up: "Master Zuo, there are a few newly opened shops in Liulichang, first, they don't know your name Zuo Ye, and secondly, they say that the shop has just opened and hasn't earned any money yet, so I ......."

Zuo Ye glared: "Why do you believe what people say?" You go to Liuli Factory to walk around, there is no shop that does not say that they have difficulties, these businessmen, which one has the truth? Besides, it's a thing for me to make money or not, so we brethren can't let us brothers drink the northwest wind, right? ”

Hei San'er echoed: "That's it, I know these traders, and when I ask, they all say that the business is sluggish and they have lost their capital, but you have to think so, since you lost your capital, why don't you close the shop?" What's wrong with you? ”

"That's right, since his shop is open there, he must only make money and not lose money, otherwise it will be closed long ago. Brothers, you can't be soft on such a shopkeeper, you pity him, what are we going to eat? Xiao Wu, what are the names of these newly opened shops? ”

"Jinyunlou Teahouse, Jicuixuan Antique Shop, and Rongbao Zhai South Paper Shop."

"Alright." Zuo Ye motioned for Xiao Wu to sit down, "Brothers, you have eaten and drunk enough, come with me later." ”

Huo Zhenxi got off the carriage at the door of the Shengchang grocery store with two entourages, and the shopkeeper excitedly greeted him: "Huo Ye, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we finally look forward to you coming back, please inside!" Inside please! ”

Huo Zhenxi patted the horse shopkeeper's shoulder: "Old Ma, thanks to you this time, I am afraid that my old Huo's head will have to move, I really have to thank you." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Huo Ye, I don't dare to do this, let me tell you this, if someone didn't help a lot this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you with my ability alone." ”

Huo Zhenxi was quite surprised: "What's the matter, there are still people to help?" Who is it? ”

The shopkeeper: "It's hard to say, go into the house and talk slowly." ”

The two entered the Shengchang grocery store, and Huo Zhenxi asked anxiously: "Old Ma, don't sell Guanzi, let's say, who helped me?" ”

The shopkeeper made tea for Huo Zhenxi: "Huo Ye, I thought you could guess it, it's your own way, isn't Zhang Youlin a friend you made in prison?" ”

"Is that him?" Huo Zhenxi was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, no, Zhang Youlin is just a child, where did he get so much silver? So he asked, "Old Ma, how much money did you spend on my business this time?" ”

"Two thousand taels, all of them were paid in advance by Young Master Zhang......"

Hearing this, Huo Zhenxi sat on the chair: "So many? Huo's favor is very bad. ”

"Didn't everything happen to get here, Young Master Zhang told me that when you were in prison, don't say that I didn't have any money on hand, but the Hui leaders in Gansu and Ningxia were very tight, and no one could take out so much silver for a while."

Huo Zhenxi looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously: "No, it stands to reason that they can still take out two thousand taels, so they won't be afraid that I won't be able to come out, right?" ”

The shopkeeper leaned over and whispered, "Of course, two thousand taels of silver is nothing, but didn't those leaders go bankrupt and take out all the silver to buy ordnance?" I made a rough calculation, as long as the righteous flag is raised at that time, at least 300,000 people will participate in the uprising, and the weapons we have at hand are far from enough. ”

Huo Zhenxi nodded: "Oh, I understand, I haven't been idle in the past few months in prison, and I have done so many things." ”

"So, fortunately, Young Master Zhang took out two thousand taels of silver, otherwise I would have had great ability, but now it's okay, your batch of goods finally let me give it a few days ago." The shopkeeper took out the silver ticket from his coat and handed it to Huo Zhenxi, "You take this, I estimate that you will have more places to make silver after you come out, and I am afraid that you will not be able to use it, so I didn't bargain with the buyer. ”

"Old Ma, where are you talking about? This matter is well done, I have to return the silver to Zhang Youlin quickly. Huo Zhenxi sighed, "Alas, in order to make up this money, this kid doesn't know how difficult it is!" ”

"By the way, Young Master Zhang said, don't go to his house to look for him." The shopkeeper went to the account cabinet and took out a note and gave it to Huo Zhenxi, "He lives in Langfang Ertiao now, this is the address." ”

Huo Zhenxi took the note and stood up: "I'll go find him." ”

After Zhuang Huchen sent away the two guests who bought brushes, Rong Bao Zhai quieted down, Zhuang Huchen took out the official uniform he had just received, unfolded it on the counter, he touched the embroidered quail pattern on the placket, and stretched the neckline, how to see it can not be enough.

Dezi was agitating on the side: "Shopkeeper, you put it on and try it." ”

"Try it here?" Zhuang Huchen waved his hand, "No, no." ”

"I'm going to try it here, what's wrong? Let's also let the people on Liulichang Street take a look, we Rong Bao Zhai also have officials, and I also told them clearly that Rong Bao Zhai's shopkeeper is not a flat-headed person, that is an official of the imperial court. ”

Zhuang Huchen hesitated: "There are people coming and going here, so it's inappropriate for people to see." ”

"What's wrong with that? In the future, you wear this official uniform, don't go out? Here, I'll help you put it on. ”

As he spoke, Dezi picked up his official uniform, lifted his collar, and waited for Zhuang Huchen's arms to reach into the two sleeves. Zhuang Huchen's arm reached into the sleeve, and Dezi quickly buckled the top with the feather to Zhuang Huchen's head.

An acquaintance passed by the door and saw Zhuang Huchen wearing a court dress, so he stopped: "Yo, Zhuang shopkeeper, you are ......"

Zhuang Huchen walked to the door: "Hey, I donated an official, it's not convenient." ”

The acquaintance looked at the "complement" on the front placket of the periodical clothes: "Wen Feiyu, Wu Walking Beast, your 'complement' is, a seven-grade civil official, Zhuang shopkeeper, you can do it!" ”

"Little official, I'm sorry."

The acquaintance left, Zhuang Huchen returned to the front hall, he shook his horse sleeves proudly, paced in all directions, and experienced the style of the Beijing court officials of the Great Qing Kingdom.

"Enough pie! The shopkeeper is really pie! Dezi admired, he thought about it, "Shopkeeper, what if you enter the palace and are looked down upon by the emperor?" As soon as the emperor spoke, come on, don't go anywhere, just stay in the palace as an official! Isn't that muddy? Who will be in charge of our shop then? ”

Zhuang Huchen stopped: "Tell you, it's nothing, I didn't go to the palace to see the emperor." ”

"I don't see the emperor, what are you doing in the palace?" Dezi was puzzled, and at this time, the shopkeeper Chen of Maoyuan Zhai passed by the door and glanced inside with disdain.

Zhuang Huchen stopped talking: "You'll know if you catch up with Ming'er." He turned and walked to the backyard.

When he arrived at the door of Qiuyue's house, Zhang Youlin helped Qiuyue get down from the carriage, and he suddenly saw Huo Zhenxi sitting cross-legged on the steps, closing his eyes and recuperating. Zhang Youlin pounced excitedly: "Uncle Huo, are you out?" ”

Huo Zhenxi opened his eyes and looked at him coldly: "Youlin, tell me, where did you get these two thousand taels of silver?" ”

"Uncle, don't ask, it's my own business, the important thing is that this silver came in handy, and you came out."

Huo Zhenxi stood up: "No, you have to tell me clearly, where did this money come from?" I told you that you must have rules in life, no matter how difficult it is, you can't do things that hurt nature and reason. ”

Zhang Youlin pulled Huo Zhenxi's arm: "Uncle, don't worry, I'll tell you in detail in a while." Huo Zhenxi glanced at Qiu Yue: "This young lady is ......"

"This is Sister Qiuyue, our two families are world friends, and now I am temporarily living here with Sister Qiuyue."

Qiu Yue saluted Huo Zhenxi: "Uncle Huo, I often hear my younger brother Youlin mention you, thank you for taking care of him in prison." ”

"Where is I taking care of him, obviously he is taking care of me, if it weren't for Youlin's help, I'm afraid I'd still be in prison now."

"Uncle, let's go into the house and talk!" Zhang Youlin supported Qiuyue, and the three of them walked into the courtyard.

After Zhuang Huchen went to the backyard to put away the court clothes, Zuo Ye and Hei San'er arrived. These guys broke into the front hall of Rong Bao Zhai, touched here, touched there, and looked bad at it, so they hurriedly called Zhuang Huchen.

Zhuang Huchen came in from the back door, he was stunned at first, and then he greeted him with a smile: "How many masters, what do you need?" ”

Zuo Ye rubbed a pair of "clanging" iron balls in his hand, he squinted his eyes and rolled them, and the words popped out horizontally: "What's the matter?" Don't want anything, don't you want to see it? Hei San'er, who was standing next to him, stretched out his thumb and flicked his hand to Zuo Ye: "Shopkeeper, do you know who this master is?" Let me introduce you to you, this is our grandfather. ”

Zhuang Huchen has been mixed in Liuli Factory for most of his life, how can he not know Zuo Ye? He nodded: "Yo, Zuo Ye, I should have visited you a long time ago, but let you come first, please take a seat, please take a seat." As he spoke, he instructed Dezi: "Go quickly, take out the dragon well in front of the Ming Dynasty, and serve tea to these masters." Dezi glanced at Zuo Ye in horror, lowered his head and went out to make tea.

Zuo Ye sat down with a big grin, and slammed the iron ball in his hand onto the table, and several guys began to rummage restlessly through the stationery items on the shelves, and the atmosphere in the shop immediately became tense. A few guests were about to come in to buy something, and when they saw the situation, they quickly shrank and left.

Zuo Ye fiddled with the jade wrench on the index finger of his right hand, and ignored Zhuang Huchen, Zhuang Huchen had nothing to say: "Zuo Ye's big wrench is really magnificent." ”

Zuo Ye snorted from his nose and didn't answer Zhuang Huchen's words.

Dezi came in with a tea tray, he was scared, mixed garlic under his trembling feet, and almost threw the tea tray out with a stumble, Zhuang Huchen grabbed him, took the tea tray, and gave the tea to Zuo Ye with a smile on his face: "Zuo Ye, please, please." ”

Zuo Ye fiddled with enough wrenches, squinted at Zhuang Huchen, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhuang, you are doing a good business." ”

"Isn't this just opened, yes, borrowing the good words of the left master, if I send it here in the future, the first one will have to honor your left master......"

Zuo Ye's eyes widened, and the words squeezed out from between his teeth: "Shopkeeper Zhuang, don't you tell the truth to Zuo Ye?" Zhuang Huchen hurriedly stood up: "Don't dare, don't dare, even if I, Zhuang Huchen, have ten heads, I don't dare not tell the truth to Zuo Ye." ”

Zuo Ye nodded: "That's good." Chai He continued: "Your shop is so steady, it's all up to Zuo Ye to support your territory, how are you going to honor Zuo Ye?" ”

Zhuang Huchen understood: "Master Zuo, you rest for a while, and I'll come when I go." He said and walked towards the back door.

Zhuang Huchen entered the courtyard, and Dezi came out of the east house, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, those masters are not good, I think we should go to report to the official, right?" ”

Zhuang Huchen waved his hand: "By all means, if the government is in charge, Zuo Ye will not dare to do this, you go and do your business, there is me here." ”

Dezi walked to the gate of the backyard and stopped: "Shopkeeper, you must be careful!" ”

"Don't worry, go ahead of yourself." Zhuang Huchen entered the north house.

In the small courtyard of Qiuyue's house, the three of them sat under the grape trellis, and after listening to Zhang Youlin's narration, Huo Zhenxi slapped his palm on the stone table: "His grandmother's is too deceitful, where is this pawnshop?" Take Lao Tzu to him now, grandma's, I don't believe it, he dares to fight the idea of "Liu Yu Tu", Lao Tzu wants his life! ”

Qiu Yue handed Huo Zhenxi a silver ticket: "I thank Uncle for my brother, this is the ransom silver, please take it." ”

Huo Zhenxi didn't answer: "What is this for?" I have the silver, and the silver ticket is on my body, you can do so much for me, Huo is already grateful. To tell the truth, it's worth it for me to go to prison this time, I know Youlin, so I rushed to this, this prison is not in vain, Youlin don't look at his age, but he is righteous, and he will be a man who dares to act and has responsibilities in the future. ”

"Uncle, I'll take the axe with me, if he doesn't give it, we'll smash his pawnshop." Zhang Youlin stood up to find the axe, but was dragged by Huo Zhenxi: "Silly boy, won't he report to the official if you smash his shop?" As soon as you report to the official, you are still the unlucky, you can't do this hard, you have to find a way. ”

Qiu Yue pondered for a moment: "Uncle, you just came out of prison, but don't cause any more trouble for this matter, if that's the case, Youlin and I would rather not want this painting." ”

A warm current surged into Huo Zhenxi's heart, and he stood up: "Don't worry, Miss Qiuyue, I have my own way." ”

Leaving Qiuyue's home, Huo Zhenxi and Zhang Youlin went straight to Hengtai Pawnshop. When he was about to arrive, Huo Zhenxi instructed Zhang Youlin: "You don't have to talk when you get there, I'll reason with him......

Dezi saw them across the road and hurriedly ran over: "Ouch, teacher...... No, it's Young Master Youlin. ”

Zhang Youlin stopped: "Senior brother, you're not staring at the shop, what are you doing here?" ”

"The shopkeeper sent me to the street to buy something." Dezi pulled Zhang Youlin aside, "Young owner, I have something to tell you." ”

"I don't have time, don't you see I'm busy?" Zhang Youlin's face was pale in a hurry, and he leaned into his ear and whispered: "Shaodong, something happened in the shop......

Zuo Ye is still good at tea, Zhuang Huchen presented the Ming Dynasty Shifeng Mountain Longjing can not be drunk anywhere, and he has just finished eating the big fish and meat in Hongxing Building, and his stomach is thirsty, so he drank it bowl after bowl.

Zhuang Huchen estimated that Zuo Ye was almost drunk, so he took out the silver ticket he took from the north house and respectfully handed it to Zuo Ye: "Zuo Ye, I don't know what you usually like, you can just watch and buy it yourself, another day, I will make a special trip to visit you." ”

Zuo Ye opened the silver ticket and saw that his face immediately changed: "What's the matter with sending the food?" As he spoke, he threw the silver ticket on the ground. Zhuang Huchen bent down to pick up the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "Master Zuo, you see, this shop has not been open for a long time, and it still owes people accounts, so you have to bear with it......"

With a "bang", Zuo Ye slammed the teacup on the ground again: "Damn, shameless, Zhuang Huchen, if you don't come up with this number today," Zuo Ye stretched out three fingers, "I'll smash your shop!" ”

Zhuang Huchen's mind immediately turned quickly: To give or not to give? If you don't give it, how will you deal with this situation now? But if it is given, will it be over in the future...... Zhuang Huchen hadn't made up his mind yet, Zuo Ye was already impatient, he made a look, Hei San'er suddenly overturned a case, and the study utensils on it were scattered all over the ground: "Damn, toast and don't eat and drink, uncle, I ...... today" Hei San'er muttered in his mouth, and he was going to push the shelves down again, and suddenly Chai He stretched out his hand and grabbed him, only to see Huo Zhenxi and Zhang Youlin appear at the gate, Huo Zhenxi's tower-like body blocked the gate tightly.

Huo Zhenxi glanced at a few people in the shop and sneered: "Who is so grumpy?" Pick things up for me! ”

Zuo Ye sat still, he looked at Huo Zhenxi from the corner of his eye, and asked slowly, "Who are you?" ”

"It's your grandfather!"

Huo Zhenxi's answer angered Hei San'er, and he shouted and approached Huo Zhenxi: "What are you doing?" Do? What's wrong with finding yourself uncomfortable? Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, this is our grandfather! ”

"What bullshit? I don't know him, but you kid is a little indebted, and I want to teach you how to be a person. As he spoke, Huo Zhenxi put his palm on the top of Hei San'er's head and pressed it, Hei San'er screamed, covered his head and fell to the ground, rolling in pain.

Chai He and Xiao Wu pulled out of the posture and approached Huo Zhenxi, Huo Zhenxi felt very ridiculous, he glanced at Zhang Youlin: "Youlin, let Master see how your leg skills are doing." Before the words fell, Zhang Youlin suddenly kicked out of his legs, and a high swing leg kicked Xiao Wu's chin, Xiao Wu was kicked seven or eight feet away, and fell to the ground fiercely.

Zuo Ye and the other minions were shocked, Huo Zhenxi laughed and said: "Youlin, you practice well, but the strength is still a little bit, those who practice martial arts, the most important thing is the skill of the fists and feet, without the skill, it is equivalent to tickling others, with the skill, as soon as you kick up, you will break his tendons and fractures......"

"It's uncle, I remember." Zhang Youlin replied respectfully, and Zhuang Huchen walked over tremblingly: "Youlin, forget it, our businessman is talking about harmony and making money, this Zuo Ye ......"

Zhang Youlin interrupted Zhuang Huchen's words: "Master, this kind of person can only wait with his fists and feet, and if he wants to fight, he will break his dog's legs, so as to save him from looking for trouble in the future." ”

Zuo Ye calmed down, and he arched his hand to Huo Zhenxi: "What is this master called?" ”

"You deserve my name too? Tell you, grandpa, I'm a nobody, and I specialize in beating things like you that don't have long eyes. Huo Zhenxi replied arrogantly.

"Since that's the case, brother, I have to accompany him to the end, I'll post another day, let's put on a scene, brother, I want to learn my brother's kung fu, today, I won't accompany you......" Zuo Ye said that he wanted to slip away, but Huo Zhenxi blocked his way: "Want to go?" There is no door, I will leave tomorrow, and you will continue to come to the scourge? It's better to make a break today, so that I won't have trouble in the future. ”

Zuo Ye changed color: "What are you going to do today?" ”

A sharp short knife suddenly appeared in Huo Zhenxi's hand, and this short knife instantly stood firmly on Zuo Ye's neck: "If you dare to move, you will be killed!" ”

"You're going to kill me?" Zuo Ye forced his composure.

Huo Zhenxi sneered: "This means, Lao Tzu has killed more people in his life, I don't care about adding you to another one, let's say, do you want to die or live?" Huo Zhenxi's short knife slowly cut into Zuo Ye's flesh, and a wisp of blood flowed down like a stream.

Zuo Ye finally couldn't hold it anymore, he begged: "Uncle, you are my uncle, I ...... I want to live. ”

"It's okay to live if you want to, but today's business can't be over like this, you say, what should I do?"

"This uncle, I'll set up a few tables in Hongxing Building another day, and I'll compensate you."

"Who rarely eats a meal from you? You should keep that little money for yourself, listen, if you do something for Lao Tzu today, I will spare your life. ”

Zuo Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the short knife on his neck, and promised repeatedly: "You say, you say ......"

Huo Zhenxi put away the short knife: "Youlin, set up two chairs in the backyard, I want to talk to Zuo Ye alone, and tell the rest of the people to go out." ”

On the north wall of Zhang's living room is a bronze Buddha statue, in front of the Buddha statue with cigarette smoke filling, Zhang Li is kneeling in front of the Buddha statue with his hands folded, and his mouth is silently reciting the "Diamond Sutra".

Zhang Shanlin broke in with two bird cages: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law ......" Zhang Li continued to chant the scriptures, but there was no response, Zhang Shanlin consciously stopped, sat on a chair and waited.

After Zhang Li finished chanting, he stood up: "Mountains and forests, is there something wrong?" ”

"Sister-in-law, there's news from Youlin."

"What? Where is he? Zhang Li was excited, but Zhang Shanlin replied with a calm face: "Just now Zhuang Huchen sent a guy to say that Youlin brought a big man to the shop, just in time for Zuo Ye to blackmail in the shop, Youlin They beat Zuo Ye, and then took Zuo Ye away. ”

"Oh my God, Youlin led someone to beat Zuo Ye?" Zhang Li was shocked, "Did he eat leopard gall?" Mountains and forests, is this Zuo Ye a tyrant of the glaze factory? ”

Zhang Shanlin nodded: "That's it, this person has a group of thugs under his command, and the store of Liuli Factory has to send him silver every month, otherwise he won't be able to do business, and he will smash other people's shops if he doesn't make trouble." This person has been mixed in the glaze factory for more than 20 years, and Songzhuzhai has not sent him less silver before. Zhang Li was so anxious that he cried: "Youlin, this kid is really crazy, how dare he provoke Zuo Ye?" Is this kind of person easy to mess with? Mountains and forests, what should we do? ”

"What to do? I know what to do? Zhang Shanlin was helpless, he thought for a while, "Let's wait and see, if Zuo Ye comes to trouble again in the future, it's a big deal to spend money to apologize." ”

"No, I have to go to Youlin, I want him to go home......" Zhang Li said and was about to go out, Zhang Shanlin stopped her: "Where are you looking for him?" The guy said that they took Zuo Ye away from Youlin, and they didn't know where they went. ”

Zhang Li's tears welled up: "His uncle, you just bother, help me find Youlin, let him go home, I am a woman's family, I don't know what to do when I encounter a big problem, you are the only uncle of Youlin, you have to take care of Youlin's affairs." ”

"Sister-in-law, where can I care?" Zhang Shanlin was a little embarrassed, "It's just...... You knocked the child out of the door, what should I say when I see him? ”

"You just say, Youlin, as long as you can go home, let's not mention that painting, let's study hard in the future and live a good life......" Hearing Zhang Li's words, Zhang Shanlin quit, he quickly interrupted her: "Don't price, "Liu Yu Tu" can't be left without mentioning, it was left by our father to the descendants of the Zhang family, everyone has a share, even if Youlin is sold, you have to take the silver back and divide it, you can't swallow it privately, right?" This is Zhang Shanlin's heartfelt words, and he can't help but say it, but Zhang Li didn't seem to hear it, and still nagged to himself: "By the way, if you tell him, just say that your mother misses you, and since you left home, your mother hasn't slept a single night......

Zhang Shan was surprised, he looked at Zhang Li in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you today?" This doesn't look like you, in my eyes, you have always been a heroine among women, not to mention anything else, just say that you blasted Youlin out of the house that day, I don't believe that it was your own son, no one can persuade you. ”

"Isn't I holding on, my son is the meat that fell from my body, who will be more distressed than me? Youlin has no father since he was a child, so I don't care who I teach? Zhang Li wiped his tears, and Zhang Shanlin lifted the bird cage: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will immediately send someone to find Youlin, even if it is tied up, I have to tie this kid back." After speaking, Zhang Shanlin left.

Zhang Youlin took Huo Zhenxi and Zuo Ye to Hengtai Pawnshop, the three of them got off the carriage at the door of the pawnshop, Huo Zhenxi slapped the pawn ticket in Zuo Ye's hand: "Remember what you say?" ”

Zuo Ye flattered his face: "Huo Ye, don't worry, this is a trivial matter for me, let's do this, don't say that we have a ticket, the redemption is justified, even if we don't have a ticket, he doesn't dare not give what we want, just look at it." ”

Huo Zhenxi instructed Zhang Youlin again: "Youlin, let's not talk after we go in, let Zuo Ye speak, isn't he known as the leader of the Liuli Factory?" If we can't even do this little thing, why should we keep him for what? simply slaughtered him with a knife. ”

"Huo Ye, don't mention any Liuli Factory tyrant, no, when I meet you, a swordsman in the Northwest, brother, I don't have any problems at all, obediently listen to your dispatch." Zuo Ye is full of flattery.

Huo Zhenxi was impatient: "Don't talk nonsense, let Lao Tzu in!" ”

Zuo Ye was in front, Huo Zhenxi and Zhang Youlin walked into Hengtai Pawnshop in the back. Behind the high counter, Sun Bonian spotted Zuo Ye at a glance, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Ouch, isn't this Zuo Ye?" You haven't been here for a while, please sit down, please sit down, man, serve tea to Zuo Ye! ”

Zuo Ye took out the pawn ticket from his sleeve and slapped it on the counter: "Where is so much nonsense?" Hurry up and get down to business for me, uncle, I want to redeem it, take a closer look, is this your ticket. ”

Sun Bonian picked up the pawn ticket and looked at it carefully, and said flatteringly: "Zuo Ye, this is right, I opened it, but ......"

Zuo Ye interrupted him with glaring eyes: "It's your ticket, hurry up, uncle, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." ”

"Master Zuo, don't be angry, listen to me, this is a ticket...... It's expired, so according to the rules, this pawn ticket can't be redeemed. ”

Zuo Ye didn't say a word, and slapped Sun Bonian twice with a bow left and right: "Damn, I think you are tired of being alive, is there such a thing as an expiration date for Zuo Ye's pawn ticket?" Don't say it's still on the day, even if it's ten years later, as long as Zuo Ye wants to redeem it, you have to do it for Zuo Ye. ”

Although Sun Bonian was beaten, he still nodded: "Master Zuo, don't be angry, you have learned the right lesson." It stands to reason that if this pawn ticket is yours, it will be redeemed in a hundred years, and I dare not say half a word, the rules of the glaze factory are set by you, and you are naturally not among the rules, but this pawn ticket ...... It's not yours, I'm afraid you have to follow the rules for others......"

"You don't care whose name is written on this pawn ticket, I will take it to redeem it, it is mine. Sun Bonian, do you say something happy, do it or not? Zuo Ye stepped on the Taishi chair with one foot.

"Master Zuo, it's not me who refutes your face, this is a ...... It's really hard to do. Sun Bonian was carrying it dead.

Zuo Ye flew up and kicked the table over, the teapot and bowl were shattered, and Zuo Ye picked up the chair again......

Now Sun Bonian changed his words: "Don't, don't...... Master Zuo, you are my uncle, we have something to discuss, don't be angry......"

Zuo Ye held his chair high: "Don't talk nonsense! Let me ask you, do you want to open this pawnshop? You give me a good word. ”

Sun Bonian had a bitter face: "Zuo Ye, Zuo Ye, don't smash it, I can't do what you say?" ”

Zuo Ye put down his chair and looked back at Huo Zhenxi and Zhang Youlin, the two of them were sitting at another table drinking tea as if nothing had happened, and then urged viciously: "Then hurry up, you kid, just toast and don't eat and drink." ”

Sun Bonian quickly took out the "Willow Bird Picture" from the back, opened it gently, and asked Zuo Ye, Huo Zhenxi and others to look at it: "A few masters, when I put away the ticket, draw it here, please look at it, I will hand it over to you in good condition, as soon as you walk out of the door of my shop, I will not be responsible for any problems." ”

Zhang Youlin carefully checked the "Willow Bird Picture", and Zuo Ye stretched out his head greedily: "Good guy, just such a painting, is it worth two thousand taels of silver?" ”

"That's, you don't look at whose painting it is. Song Huizong's handwriting, is that a joke? There was a sour taste in Sun Bonian's words.

"No problem." Zhang Youlin raised his head, and Huo Zhenxi patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go." ”

The three of them came out of the pawnshop, and Zuo Ye asked, "Huo Ye, it's okay with me, right?" Huo Zhenxi thought for a while: "Today's incident is in the past, and it can be ...... Maybe I'll have to look for you. ”

"Look at what you said, if you have something, you can open your mouth, you don't dare to say it far away, in this area of the glass factory, let's say a word that still works."

Zuo Ye set almost, Huo Zhenxi's eyes glared: "The surname Zuo, don't play sloppy with me, let's say so, you'd better not let me look for you again, our northwest swordsmen can't practice your mouth in the capital, we like to play with knives, you listen, from now on, you can go anywhere, just don't go to Rong Bao Zhai, if I hear that you step into Rong Bao Zhai half a step, Lao Tzu will pick your skin, do you hear?" ”

Zuo Ye hurriedly agreed: "Well, with Huo Ye's words, Rong Bao Zhai will never go again." Huo Zhenxi waved his hand impatiently: "Get out!" ”

Zuo Ye could finally get out, he seemed to glance at Huo Zhenxi inadvertently, and then left in a hurry.

In the evening, the sky had already darkened, Zhang Shanlin had been gone for almost an hour, and there was no news, Zhang Li was restless in the bedroom. The employing Li Ma walked in gently: "Madam, there is a guest here." ”

"Who is it?" Zhang Li was absent-minded, where did she have the heart to see guests at this time. Mother Li shook her head: "I haven't seen it, my surname is Huo, he said that he has something important to see his wife." ”

As soon as she heard about the "important matter", Zhang Li almost fainted, and Li's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Li's mother: "Please ask him to wait in the living room, and I will be there." ”

As soon as Zhang Li stepped into the threshold of the living room, Huo Zhenxi immediately greeted him: "Sister-in-law, are you Zhang Youlin's mother?" ”

Zhang Li looked at Huo Zhenxi: "Zhang Youlin is my son, may I ask who you are ......?"

Huo Zhenxi knelt down and bowed his head: "Sister-in-law is above, please accept the little brother!" ”

Zhang Li was shocked: "Hurry up, I'm a woman's family, I can't afford your gift, please sit down, and say something slowly." ”

Huo Zhenxi stood up: "Thank you for giving birth to a good son, Zhang Youlin is my life-saving benefactor." ”

The more Zhang Li listened, the more outrageous he became: "I said brother, you haven't told me who you are." ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, my name is Huo Zhenxi, a native of the Northwest. According to the number of years, I should call Zhang Youlin's father the eldest brother and you the sister-in-law. A few days ago, I was falsely accused of being imprisoned, and I met your son Zhang Youlin in prison, and we became friends, and Youlin saved my life. ”

Looking at the tower-like strange man in front of him, Zhang Li could be said to basically disbelieve his words, and she asked rhetorically: "A child in Youlin, can you save your life?" ”

"Hey! It's hard to put into words, sister-in-law, let me tell you slowly......"

Just when Huo Zhenxi was talking to Zhang Li in detail, Zhang Youlin was wandering nervously outside the gate of his house with the "Willow Bird Picture" in his hand, and he looked into the courtyard from time to time.

Mama Li walked out of the courtyard with a cup of tea: "Young master, you take a sip of tea first, your friend is talking to his wife." ”

"Mama Li, after I leave home, my mother is fine, right?" Zhang Youlin asked with concern. This question opened Li's mother's chatterbox, and she chattered: "You don't know her yet?" In fact, I can see that my wife has been thinking about you, and she can't sleep at night, sighing for a long time, but too, Mrs. is just a son like you, and the meat that fell from her body is just angry again, and the son is still a son......

"Brother, is he okay?" Zhang Youlin interrupted her.

"Young Master Jilin came here yesterday, and I discussed with my wife, saying that I wanted to apply for a new-style school, young master, what is a new-style school?"

Before Zhang Youlin could answer Li's mother's question, Huo Zhenxi walked out of the courtyard: "Youlin, your mother let you in." ”

Zhang Youlin jumped up step by step: "Uncle, how are you talking to my mother?" Is she still mad at me? ”

Huo Zhenxi patted him on the shoulder: "Youlin, you don't know your mother, she is a very sensible person, as soon as I tell you about it, your mother's tears will fall, and she blames her son for being wrong." ”

Mother Li smiled: "This is great, Young Master Youlin, go in and see your mother, you don't know, how did she come over these days......"

Zhang Youlin followed Huo Zhenxi into the living room, he first put the "Willow Bird Picture" on the table, and then knelt down for his mother, and whispered: "Mom, my son is back." ”

Zhang Li sat on the chair and said in a calm tone: "Well, it's good to be back, you can get up." ”

Zhang Youlin insisted on kneeling: "Mom, my son is not filial, he makes you angry, you should be beaten, and you should be punished." ”

"Why the penalty? Are you doing it wrong? ”

"Mom, I was wrong...... Zhang Youlin lowered his head.

"Youlin, I see that you understand for a while, and you are confused for a while, there is no difference between good and bad, you have not done anything wrong in this matter, Buddhism often says, 'Save people's lives, win to create a seventh-level floating slaughter', you are obviously doing good deeds, how can you say that you are wrong?"

"No matter what the reason, I made you angry, this is unfilial piety, it is wrong." When this came to Zhang Li's heart, she couldn't help but have a smile on her face: "Well, that's to the point, you want to save your friend's life, it's a good thing, but why don't you tell your mother?" Mom is a believer in Buddhism, can she still stop you from doing good deeds? This is obviously not to trust your mother, you are wrong here, understand? ”

Zhang Youlin nodded: "Mom, my son remembers." ”

"Get up! Put the "Willow Bird Picture" back in the cabinet later, remember, this is our family's heirloom, and there will be a big event in the future......" Before Zhang Li finished speaking, Zhang Youlin answered: "Mom, don't be angry, I may not be able to do this." ”

Zhang Li was surprised: "Why? ”

"You said, 'Saving a person's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter', compared to the major event of human life, what is the importance of a painting? If this kind of thing happens again in the future, the son does not dare to promise not to fight the idea of this painting. Zhang Youlin said it seriously, Zhang Li was speechless for a while, and only reacted after a while: "Hey! This kid, block me with what I've said? ”

"Youlin, how do you talk to your mother? If there is anything in the future, you have to discuss it with your mother first, how can you make your own decisions? Huo Zhenxi scolded. To Huo Zhenxi, Zhang Youlin was obedient, and he quickly replied: "Yes!" With that, he stood up and stepped aside.

Zhang Li also stood up, she looked at Zhang Youlin and whispered, "Son, come here......"

Zhang Youlin took a few steps forward: "Mom! ”

Zhang Li suddenly burst into tears, hugged his son and cried loudly: "Son, the days you are not there...... I miss my mother......"

Zhang Youlin also hugged his mother emotionally: "Mom, isn't my son back?" There were no tears in his eyes, only a vague kind of calm that was rare in a teenager of his age......
