The steward of their Guanyang Wharf often comes to the gambling house to play and give the gambling house face, "I do things for the sixth master, and they don't dare to embarrass me." ”

Thin Monkey: "That's right, if they dare to give you a face, you just shout that the sixth master asked you to come, who dares to provoke you, you come back and tell me, I will find the sixth master to bring someone to help you get back." ”

The dog nodded, "They sometimes give me some fish." ”

The thin monkey snorted twice, disapproving, "They are embarrassed to use things that no one wants, if you don't want them, they have to throw them away." Kicking your nose in the face is to see that you are a bully. Next time, don't give them fish stew and boiled snails, you sell something, save some money, and make a dress for your aunt and sister. ”

The dog laughs.

The thin monkey dislikes him for not being productive, "Sometimes I see that you are very excited, sometimes you are like a fool, you remember, just coax the sixth master, as long as the sixth master is willing to let you be in front of you, our brothers will walk sideways in Guanyang!" ”

The dog touched the tip of his nose and didn't speak.

I thought to myself, the sixth master didn't dare to walk sideways in Guanyang.

The gambling house is the uncle's business, but the uncle does not come back easily in the state capital all the year round, and the sixth and seventh masters can manage it.

Don't mention it from afar, the third master scolded the sixth master like a grandson all day long.

There are also those officials and soaps, rich lords with wealth in the county, who are not polite when they see them.

The thin monkey arrived home first, and then turned into the dog's house after two alleys, and the dog said goodbye to him: "I still have snails at home, you have to eat them at home." ”

Skinny Monkey: "Okay, let's go back and rest." ”

The dog limped home.

Their house is next to the south city wall, which is the most dilapidated part of Guanyang County.

There are blue brick houses in the center and north of the county, and there are many earthen houses in the south and west.

They are even worse here, and many people's houses are broken and can't be repaired, so they build a shack.

When the dog got married, his family repaired the house, which was a new adobe thatched house. His mother and daughter-in-law love to be clean, the small yard is cleaned up, and the red paper from his wedding time is still pasted on the courtyard wall, which has turned gray and powdered.

The dog pushed open the courtyard door and smelled the smell of stewed fish.

His father was sitting in the yard, knitting straw sandals, and when he saw him like this, he used to ask, "What's wrong with your leg?" Someone beat it again? ”

His mother ran out, "I'll see, where is the injury?" ”

Dog: "It's okay, I fell." ”

His mother was distressed: "Why did you fall?" ”

His father dragged a handful of grass, and his eyes were not eyes and noses were not noses and scolded him, "If he does that job, can he be less fallen?" ”

The dog pouted and was unhappy, "I can't do anything else." ”

His father grabbed a straw sandal and threw it at him, "It's useless!" ”

The dog doesn't hide, the straw shoes don't sink anyway, and it doesn't hurt to hit the body: "I'm not promising!" I can't lift it, I can't carry it, I can't read words, I can't calculate my accounts, I can't be clever, and I can't do coolies! ”

He has been thin since he was a child, and when he was older, his father asked someone to find him a good errand as an apprentice in the account room, and the account office thought he was stupid, thought he was illiterate, and did not calculate the account, and planned to slow down and bring him back. His mother found him a noodle shop to run again, and when he met a cheater who didn't give money, he asked the man for money, and was beaten, obviously he was beaten, and the noodle shop said that he was not clever and didn't let him go.

The thin monkey wanted to take him to run a boat to fish, but he was afraid of water and seasickness, and finally saw the thin monkey's face, so he went to the gambling house.

His father doesn't want to see the gambling house, but he can't find any other work!

His daughter-in-law came back from fetching water from outside, and she heard a quarrel in the house from a distance, so she hurried in the door, put down the bucket and looked at him, "Where is the injury?" ”

Dog: "It's okay. ”

His daughter-in-law patted the soil on his body and spoke for him, "Dad, the dog has been motivated recently, don't keep saying that he is unproductive, he is unproductive, where can we buy such cheap food?" ”

The dog's father kept silent with a cold face.

His daughter-in-law asked the dog to go back to the house, "Although he works in the gambling house, he has not done anything harmful, nor has he been contaminated with the problem of good gambling, and now he gets up early every day and does some business greedily, and his life can go on, don't scold him all the time." ”

Daddy Dog snorted, put down his sandals and went back to the house.

His mother and his daughter-in-law looked at each other and shook their heads to do something.

The dog himself was smearing medicine in the house, and when he heard his daughter-in-law talking for him, he was not very comfortable.

The two of them are neighbors, his daughter-in-law's father died early, the orphans and widows are not easy, his father and mother can't bear it, so they often help, and later his mother-in-law also died, and entrusted his daughter to them before dying.

The dog liked her since he was a child, but his daughter-in-law was older than him, and he didn't know if she regarded him as a younger brother. It's just that whoever comes to the door, he goes to the neighborhood of that person's house to inquire about the eighteenth generation of the ancestors, for fear that she will be deceived and married in the past and be wronged.

Poor families have their own unsatisfactory, she is just an ordinary girl, and she is not beautiful in the country and the city, and she has no parents, and the matchmaker can't introduce many good people. Seeing that the widower was introduced, the dog angrily beat the matchmaker out.

After he beat the matchmaker, he was beaten out by his father again that day.

In the middle of the night, he secretly climbed over the wall and went home, and saw his daughter-in-law standing in the yard waiting for him, the moonlight was just right, he rode on the earthen wall, and climbed over the wall halfway, and his daughter-in-law carried a ladder and asked him if he wanted to marry her and live together.

"If you don't want to, I'll move the ladder away."

The white moonlight shone on her face, and the dogs and people looked stupid.

He grinned and smirked, and they all said that he was stupid, obviously his daughter-in-law was stupider than him.

How can there be such a fool in the world who likes him to be such a hopeless little gangster?

He jumped off the wall excitedly, vowing to give his daughter-in-law a good life......

But it's been almost a year, and he still hasn't made a difference, and he's getting worse and worse, and anyone can scold him and beat him.

The more the dog thought about it, the more frustrated he became.

It is said that his daughter-in-law married him with flowers and inserted them into cow dung, and his daughter-in-law said that she is not flowers, but he really wants to become cow dung, no, shit.

The dog's daughter-in-law came in with water and closed the door of the house, "Dad is afraid that you are infected with gambling, don't take it to heart." ”

The dog was depressed: "I know. I don't even look at the table. ”

The dog's daughter-in-law laughed: "I know." ”

Her father had lost his gambling and the family had moved to the southern city wall from elsewhere. The dog went to work in the gambling house again, "Dad is distressed about my life." ”

Dog: "I'm distressed too. ”

His daughter-in-law smiled: "I think it's okay, it's enough to eat and drink." However, in the future, you will see if you can talk to the sixth master, let's pay more money to the gambling house, let's concentrate on selling snails, and you will not go to the gambling house for the rest of the day. ”

The dog is embarrassed.

If he only works for the gambling house, the relationship will gradually become far away, and many conveniences will be without him.

Now he is beaten and scolded in the gambling house, so he can get mixed in front of the sixth master, the grain can be bought cheaply, and the snail fish does not need money, if it is light, he will have to pay for it.

How can he have the capital.

He pressed down and comforted his daughter-in-law: "I know, let's talk about it when the price of grain is not so expensive in a few days." ”

"Well, you can hide when the sixth master is unhappy in the future."

The dog looked down at the bottle of medicinal oil on the ground, and the place where he had been beaten was faintly painful.

The next day, when I saw Lu Xu again, the dog took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the morning market, and called Lu Xu to yesterday's alley: "I see, you still don't look for our sixth master, our sixth master has a bad temper and likes to beat people, you still need to find the twelfth master, I will tell you quietly when he comes." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

He just said a word, and this person helped him think of an idea overnight? That's too honest!

Although he didn't want to take refuge in any of them and had other ideas, Lu Xu still thanked the other party sincerely. They are simple and honest people!

Kind of impressed!

The dog didn't dare to move, he was afraid that he would be seen meeting Lu Xu in private, looking around, and running away with the cart like a thief.

Chapter 39: Buying Strongly, Selling

It was only after being reminded by the dog that Lu Xu remembered the four families of Guanyang County. The boat gang of the Song family is the most powerful and domineering, but the other three families are not necessarily willing to see him powerful.

Everyone else has bullied him, and he has to bow his head to be a grandson, Lu Xu is not happy.

He's not a cheap bone.

Besides, even if he bows his head, he is still an outsider in the end, and he can't compare to the relationship between relatives and brothers. Even if he surrendered to Song San, he would still be calculated by Song Liu in the future. That doesn't work.

Instead of that, it is better to find another backer who is not easy for the Song family to provoke.

The Luo family is one, but Luo Shen doesn't seem to like him very much, and he doesn't like to cause trouble. Since people have helped him and don't like to cause trouble, Lu Xu doesn't want Luo Shen to think that he will only cause trouble. Relationship, or balance is better, how can one party always suffer? Luo Shen is not his relative.

He'll have to inquire about other homes.

He didn't know about the Qiu family, but he heard that he was born in the mountains, and he did some hard work in Guanyang, and often worked as a coolie for the ship's gang to unload goods at the dock.

Lu Xu pondered that the Qiu family was unwilling to offend the boat gang, and the only one who could choose was the Ma family.

Ma Jiazu has been an official and is a local family in Guanyang County. Although it is far less than when it was prominent, the tree has deep roots, Yu Wei is still there, and all the county commanders have to respect a few points.

The Ma family is low-key, and it doesn't look as good as the other three rising stars, but after living in Guanyang for a long time, I know that the illustrious family has been in Hedong for 30 years and Hexi for 30 years, and it has changed one by one.

Speaking of which, he has some friendship with the Ma family, and the young master of the Ma family also lent him a lot of books!

Lu Xu occasionally met the young master of the Ma family in the bookstore and chatted for a while, that child was a warm-hearted person, and he was simple if he didn't know anything about the world.

It's just that Lu Xu doesn't know what the situation is inside the Ma family, and whether Ma Ruoqi can help him speak.

Lu Xu asked Second Master Sun about the Ma family in the morning market, and Second Master Sun gestured a little finger at him, "Those families are compared with the Ma family, that's it." The Ma family didn't take them seriously at all. ”

Lu Xu was shocked, "So powerful? I see that the Ma family's house is not big. ”

Second Master Sun laughed, "The main house is inconspicuous, you can go in and take a look, the courtyard walls of the houses in that half of the street are open, and they are all Ma family houses." ”

And this kind of operation?

Second Master Sun gossiped with him: "The Ma family has a large population, and there are houses near the main house, and it is not easy to expand, so what can I do?" Buy, generation, buy more and more, I think there are two more generations, their family will have no neighbors, and the whole street will have to be bought by them. ”

Lu Xu was speechless, "What is the child of the Ma family?" ”

Second Master Sun: "How can that be?" ”

It sounds like the Ma family is a big family, and Ma Ruoqi has a lot of brothers and sisters, and I don't know which room he belongs to.

Lu Xu was a little embarrassed, there were many big families, if Ma Ruoqi's status at home was not high, he rashly went to Ma Ruoqi for help, and he didn't know if he would cause trouble for Ma Ruoqi.

Lu Xu hadn't come up with much of a clue yet, but unexpectedly, someone with an accident found him first.

Walking in front was a large man, dark-skinned, carrying a flat shoulder with some mountain goods in it. The one in the back, with his eyebrows and eyes a little similar to him, looks more honest, not as tall as the person in front, but stronger than the one in front, and he carries an empty pole. Look, they look like two brothers.

The two of them wore the same pale green coarse cloth shorts, and their feet wore a kind of thick-soled straw sandals that few people in Guanyang County wear, with the same pattern and the same very worn.
